Replying to: irritatedowner (Jul 18, 2009 9:34 pm) 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. Replies to this message: irritatedowner (Jul 19, 2009 6:49 pm)

Replying to: trishlarsonis (Jul 13, 2009 6:39 pm) 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.

Replying to: cinglemom (Feb 13, 2009 8:50 pm) 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. Replies to this message: cinglemom (Sep 25, 2009 3:18 pm)

Replying to: caliclaudine (Sep 25, 2009 12:45 pm) Did you tell them that the card had problems? Was that the reason why the did not use it as a trade in?

Replying to: galvarez (Oct 28, 2008 9:10 am) 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.

Hello, while i was driving I noticed a it does not pull fast as the engine noise, once you stop the at a signal the car wont go forward, there was a noise from the engine before & I talked to a Mechanic, he said the Power steering pump needs to be replaced, I call the dealer he told PS pump is $185.00 and back order. in the meantime the is not running as normal! did any one had this Issue! Thanks.
