#123 of 149 WOW by general13 Mar 01, 2009 (12:15 am)
Ladies and Gents, I had no idea that there were so many of you out there with the same problems that I have with my Caliber. I've been reading for about an hour now, and I can relate to every problem in every forum. From the stalling, to LED lights just coming on, to the smoking when coming out the car wash. And after all the heart-head ache, Dodge has the nerve to want us to bail them out? Noone I've asked has anything nice to say about this car except that it looks nice. What do we do?

Replying to: caliberchic (Mar 07, 2008 10:40 am) Well all I am sorry to know that everyone has been having issues wuth their Calibers. However, I have a 2007 Caliber and haven't had one single problem with it. I love my car. I get the regular maintenance necessary and go about my business.....

Replying to: general13 (Mar 01, 2009 12:15 am) I've been telling people on this site... we all need to get together and sue their butts. I know people have purchased this car and have had no issues but for the slue of people that have had their cars stall, stop, caught on fire, software issues, etc. we all need to get together and do something about this. I've lost so much time and money dealing with the Caliber I purchased... I'm not paying a $600 car note just so my family and I could drive on/down the road with a peace of mind. This car is a piece of crap. I've tried for several months to get another car from Dodge but they did not want to hear it. They would not buy their car back either. So I did what I had to do for me and my family. For one person trying to sue a car dealer(s) it's almost impossible (if anyone has done this with Dodge/Chrysler please let me know the correct process) for the little man to do so. They take all their money and give themselves mega bonus' and spend little on a good car. I had a Neon that did me well; it gave me no real problems. But when I comes to the Caliber... it's SUCKS BIG TIME.
#126 of 149 Let me tell you about problems... by nebredsxt Apr 04, 2009 (5:34 am)
I ordered my Red SXT through my dealer in April 2006. It was delivered in June 2006....Since that day, I have been towed back to the dealer 7 times....the most recent time was March 14 when my check engine light began flashing, it was throwing no codes but, the engine had a distinct miss followed within minutes by a loud knocking, I immediately shut it down. I have just over 75,500 miles on my caliber and have always religiously changed the oil, filters, plugs, etc....this past Monday, I finally got my car back...with a new engine. The service manager said that a "structural failure" caused the main bearing and a piston to fail....and for those techies out there...it wasnt a lubrication issue. The engine replacement was the second major replacement in the past year....the CVT also failed requiring replacement....because of the issues with the CVT and engine, the dealer did a 100% inspection of my car and discovered the tie rod ends were also bad and replaced both....the only bright spot is that because it was first edition, I had purchased the extended warranty....my out of pocket for everything to date totals $41.20.....but, the frustration has been priceless.   I love the car and it now runs better than when it rolled off the truck....but, I dont think I will ever buy a first edition of a new model ever again!! This is the 7th Chrysler product that I have owned and the first with any major problems....I am not yet ready to give up on Chrysler...assuming of course they survive!!   P.S. these boards are great...I have learned so much just by reading about others experiences.....

Replying to: justmelee (Oct 26, 2008 11:53 am) I have a 2007 Caliber and I loved it at first but I hate my car now. I am going thru the same things if not worse. First my car stalled was told it needed the new flash update and also needed a recall fixed on the thermostate that I was never informed of. But guess what it got worse. Now my car hesitates acts like it is going to stall or does, sometimes it won't start. My engine light comes on and either stays on or blinks. This car sucks. I have had sensors replaced and still nothing. Nobody can figure out what is wrong with my car and I am sick of it. I have to actually rent a car now to go on our family vacation. I want to trade my car in but I am afraid of what I owe on it and what I will actually get for this big piece of S***! Anyone have any clues on what could be the problem or what to do. Also for anyone talking about going after Dodge I am in 100%!!! Replies to this message: cinglemom (May 06, 2009 5:29 pm) ballerc19 (May 19, 2009 3:09 pm) cinglemom (May 19, 2009 3:17 pm)

Replying to: caliberhater (May 06, 2009 2:37 pm) I had the some of the same issues. I traded my car in and ate 11K... no matter I'm happy now; even with a payment that leaves me broke. I've been wanting to go after Chrysler/Dodge for the longest but just one person I can't do any damage. If you would like to go after them... let's talk.

Replying to: cinglemom (May 06, 2009 5:29 pm) How you guys doing with going after Dodge??? I am another annoyed cleint! Not sure where I stand with this because I purchased mine from a used car lot, but the crap going on with the car is a safety issue and I am tired.

Replying to: ballerc19 (May 19, 2009 3:09 pm) I have not heard from anyone yet regarding suing Chrysler Dodge. If you want to talk about it let me know. Right now I think they are getting what they deserve. I would just like to get back the monies I lost. How should we go about this? Do we need to search for a lawyer who will sue? I don't have my Caliber anymore but I think I still have all of my paperwork.
#131 of 149 Upholstery by trenak May 28, 2009 (7:04 am)
I do have alot of issues with my 2007 Doge Caliber but the most irritating issue is the upholstery and how it stains so bad! It has always been a problem since the very first day I bought it.
#132 of 149 54K miles--so far, fuel pump ($400) and two wheel bearings ($450) by msebastian Jul 17, 2009 (1:25 am)
Isn't that a lot for only 54K miles? 2007. I was soooo stupid to trade in my Honda CRV (93K miles) for this car, only because I didn't want to fix a $1,200.00 catalytic converter. WORST MOVE EVER! I like this car, but I have a feeling it's going to boil me in the next year or so. I drive 25K per year and barely make 30K per year in income. I can NOT afford these repairs. WOOF.
