#1609 of 1634 Re: AC Leak [gman64] by mek0123 Jun 08, 2008 (4:24 pm)
Replying to: gman64 (Jun 08, 2008 4:11 am) Gman64, check your condenser drain tube. My 89 Shadow (many years ago) had a condenser tube that was plugged up. Because it had not been used in a long time, (2.5 years or so), the rubber just sealed itself shut. After about an hour of highway driving, I noticed the water on the floor, got out, looked for the drain tube to be leaking water and it didn't happen. Crawled under side of vehicle, squeezed the drain tube together and broke the temporary seal and lost at least a quart of water. I would assume either it's that or drain tube has separated from the drain pipe. It's a simple fix, just access might be difficult. At 13K miles and roughly a year old, it's not your problem.

Replying to: gbanker_33 (Jun 30, 2008 7:04 am) If your are still within your warranty coverage TSBs are to performed free of charge. I had 18-031-07 done on mine over a yr ago and it made a noticeable difference. There is a procedure you can do yourself that may help and this is a proven method tested by many Caliber owners. 1-Turn the ignition to RUN but DO NOT start. 2-Depress the gas pedal to the floor SLOWLY while counting to 15. 3-Release the gas SLOWLY again counting to 15. 4-Turn ignition to OFF and remove key. 5-Restart and take a test drive. This procedure recalibrates the linarity of the fly by wire accelerator. You can do this as often as you feel needed.

#1614 of 1634 Front spring isolators by mike299 Jul 06, 2008 (5:09 am)
Hi this is my first posting, Has anyone ever had this happen. My front coil spring isolator came apart on me while driving down the highway and after that happened my steering would make an awful grinding noise. I have had it repaired under warranty but just thought it odd that that would happen. I drive an 08 caliber s/e . Replies to this message: bigtsr (Jul 06, 2008 6:38 am)

Replying to: mike299 (Jul 06, 2008 5:09 am) Sorry to hear of your suspension problem. I have frequented a number of Caliber forums for over 2 yrs now and this is the 2nd post (doesn't mean there aren't others) I have seen about that problem. The other post was a '07 Caliber mfg'd in early '06.
#1616 of 1634 Re: 07 vs 08 [specked] by mike299 Jul 13, 2008 (3:43 pm)
Replying to: specked (Mar 03, 2008 9:49 am) I had an 07 caliber with the 2.0 litre with the cvt. I had an accident with it and wroite if off. I did end up buying an 08 se with the 1.8 5spd . I am much happier with my 08 with the standard trans. The gas milage is so much better than with the cvt. And with the standard trans the 1.8 seems just as peppy or peppier in some cases. I have seen know differences except the amber turn signals are gone on the back and the interior in the 08 is a darker colour .
#1617 of 1634 The Dodge Caliber isnt a wagon by thecarbuff Jul 30, 2008 (7:52 pm)
This is a great car,it has great gas milage and great looks but it isnt a wagon, thats saying the 4dr VW Golf is a wagon, there compacts have you seen a wagon, like take one of my favorite wagons for example, the Magnum, its a lot longer and alot more spacious
#1618 of 1634 Getting out of PARK by moparfancanada Aug 25, 2008 (9:28 am)
Has anyone else had this problem, and if so, does anyone know of a successful resolution?   2007 Caliber, R/T model, auto. transmission. 30,500 kms as of today.   In Oct 2007, I could not get it out of park no matter how much pressure I put on the brakes. I had to pop open the small access hole on the right of the tranny box and was able to manually get it out of park. Drove straight to the dealer and they replaced a relay switch that was defective. Ok fine!   July 2008, same thing. Drove to the dealer and left it there. They replaced this switch again, but said I had no brake lights. Later that day, surprise!, I had brake light. So I picked up the car - all is well.   Today, Aug 25th, same thing. Manually popped it out of park and straight to the dealer. This time I told him that there is no point in replacing a faulty part, with another faulty part ! Makes sense don't it? Service manager and mechanic mulled over my car, himmed and hawed a bit, then told me that they suspect it is a cellunoid switch in the shifter. Of course they don't have the part and it will be ordered in from Montreal and arrive early am.   Long story short ..... Any one else have this exact issue and have had a successful conclusion to the problem?   Thanks all. Roger in Ottawa. Replies to this message: bigtsr (Aug 25, 2008 3:42 pm)
