My SXT is now over 3 yrs old and other then my free oil/filter changes
and a software update in '06 the only other reason it's been in the
dealership was for new tierod ends.I believe the tierod ends are due
to our crappy roads and my penchant for formula 1 driving on expressway
ramps.
Having said that my dealership (independant) always treats me well
while not like a long lost son.I have dealt with them since '84 with new cars every
3-4 yrs and while having differences of opinion we treat each other with
respect and what my grandaughters call inside voices.lol
I think Chrysler is plagued with incompetent/poor dealerships thru out
the system,if your not happy with one try another it may be worth
the extra miles to be hassle free.
Over the years I have had many parts/adjustments done all hassle free
that's why I keep buying cars from the same dealer and all my cars
up to the time I retired in 2000 were used for business at abt 40-50000
kilometrs per year.

I have an 08 se and have been trouble free just have 28,000 kms on it . Just love the car before that had an 07 sxt and it was good until I wrote if off. But one of the safest cars I have ever owned. Very reliable and just had the integrated Ipod accessorie added to it works excellent. I also put on the Mopar Performance dual cat back exhaust system on it and the milage is even better than before. So I am very happy with my car.

Nothing to do WITH the 2010-- I've got a 2008 AWD, RT-- but, the, RECENT
SMALLER THAN USUAL number of posts to this forum with AMERICAN cars
is due to the economy which is-- in part-- BECAUSE of the infatuation with
"rice-burners".
While I happen to LOVE Chinese- and Thai-food, I hate Sushi and most
OTHER Japanese and Korean made merchandise.
I happen to actually ENJOY being A-M-E-R-I-C-A-N-- despite living in a re-
mote European location [volcano in backyard]. My WWII-veteran father would
probably roll over in his grave if he knew my last car was German/ Japanese/
American: a Dahmler-Chrysler with a Mitsubishi motor.
Well, anyway, I'm not certain WHO the co-owner/owner of Chrysler is now, but I
REALLY, REALLY, REALLY like my car. I treat my car better than my cat, and
 nearly as well as my wife. I'll always buy AMERICAN cars-- let the Japanese
buy JAPANESE!
Read any of my previous posts to see HOW much I love MY car.
Did they ever fix the problem with seeing OVER the back seats in subsequent
year models? THAT is the only problem-- which I OVERLOOK by keeping the
back seats DOWN!-- as I "SEE" it!

I agree 100% but having said that facts are that there are 4 kinds
of car owners that post to forums:
1-people with real problems looking/needing help.
2-people who suffers buyers regret and any shortcoming percieved or real
   generate rants.
3-trolls
4-real car enthusiasts who are more than appliance operaters and
  enjoy exchanging ideals and helping the people with real problems.
 
I like to think I fall in #4 but then again I have only 3 things to keep
me busy my car,honeydolist and surfing the net.

I bought one of the first '07 Caliber SXT's sold in my area (Southern Indiana) and have been very pleased with the car so far. I've had it for 3.5 yrs. , had a flash update for emissions, and had the computer re-flashed for the stalling issue. Other than buying one set of tires for it that's it! I have 98K miles on the car now and am planning on replacing the drive belt and plugs at 100K. It's too bad a lot of Caliber owners got stuck with a lot of issues that new cars should not have. I guess I was fortunate enough to get a good one!
