A law suit would be nice, but at the same time you need to put into consideration that it is going to be difficult to track down a lawyer that will take the case without recieving some kind of money to start, and if you do find one who will go after them for us it will be so drawn out by chrysler it won't even be funny. As much as I would like to trade it in it is not a reality, I already have gotten one repossesion this year because of money issues and being so upside down in this car it's not going to happen unless I win the lotto. I need the A/c fixed me and my g/f are expecting our first baby here in the next couple weeks and it's already up to 118 here in Arizona, I cannot have my new born baby girl riding around in a 3 y/o car that the a/c doesn't work in, but according to the dealer it works fine. I just thought of other issues as well the top compartment in the dash above the glove box is starting to warp, along with the black molding around the bottom of my windows on the out side which are now also gray cause the sun bleached them. And the black plastic that runs from the wind sheild back to the wing/hatch is bleached as well, and the wing/spoiler is coming loose. The back window washer leaks as well. I believe that is it. And for the "Cannot duplicate" from the dealers I told them to go F themselves the last time I was there. If you can find the lawyer let me know. God knows I need out of this vehicle. I bought new instead of used so I wouldn't have to deal with these problems, I should have bought Japanese. I have always owned Toyota trucks besides my suburban, and thought I would try american cause of the gas and safety rating on it. First and last time I will ever own a dodge.

I understand your need to vent the frustration of problems and
having a STUPID dealership.
Your A/C problem could be as simple as an airlock in the refrigerant
path,low refrigerant due to a system leak or as complicated as a
worn/damaged compressor.There was a Technical Service Bulletin
or TSB #24-006-07 issued covering the fault.
The rear window washer leaking after usage was a complaint on the
'07s(mine did it) and was cured with the placement of "check valve"
in the supply line '08 and up had it from factory.
Yes the black plastic turns whitesh grey in all sunny climates and
with you being in the SW US it probabbly happened faster and
is more distinct.Most owners including myself use products such
as "Mothers Back to Black" or "Forever Black".I use Mothers and
apply it 2x a year with the results being that mine looks factory new.
The top glove box cover again was a problem noted on '07s and
generally was replaced with little hassle under warranty in that
time period.
If you would like to see all the TSBs for ALL Caliber models I would
suggest you follow this link:
http://www.caliberforumz.com/forumdisplay.php?f=38
Then find a dealer with a brain and ethics.

2007 dodge caliber sounds like a diesel but isn't. Changed idler pulley's and tensioner and didn't solve the problem. Since I bought the first caliber out, it didn't come with the 7 year 70,000 mile warranty. What a crock. that offer came out right after I bought the car. I have heard on the internet that I am not the only one with this problem! We have heard from several people that it is the altenator????? who knows. The car is in the shop again maybe they will find out what the noise is??? I feel sorry for people that have a caliber it is a POS.

I had a tick like that and I always wondered what it was, and it would be louder with the a/c running, but I installed platnium spark plugs and haven't heard it since.

I have a 2007 Dodge Calliber and I am all for it. I don't feel like going into details, but this is the 3rd time that something has gone wrong, within the past 5 months. I am so sick of this car. I have a 6yr old, 3 yr old and 9 month old and this car has stopped (while on the freeway; speed limit 70 to 65mph). I so would like to sue Dodge for this crap of a car. I tried to trade it in, but I was told that there was no way it could be traded in.

Did you tell them that the card had problems? Was that the reason why the did not use it as a trade in?

I guess I was luck. I decided to bite the bullet and trade in my Caliber. I was 11k upside down. I didn't care. Now my Honda CRV payments are $560; it is so worth it. I'm broke but happy. One thing I never cherished was a piece of mind; I do now. I don't worry about being stranded on the side of the road at midnight with my daughter or my car bursting into flames. I will pray for you and your family.
