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: 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: 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.

I have a 2007 caliber, I took my car to many mechanics no one could tell me what the problem was even Miller Dodge could not figureout what this noise was. I was referred to a mechanic "Als Body shop" in Upper Darby PA. They found the problem it was my altenator it was spitting out metal sheddings and where the serpintine belt spins on was wearing and breaking also the ac compressor. To get this issue fixed it cost $375. I still have to get a new ac compressor because they said that it was going bad because it would stop spinning at times and that can cause the belt to break and the car to become overheated. It would be cheaper to buy the ac compressor from moparautoparts online then at the auto shop. They said it would cost me $675 total. But online the ac compressor is only $217 and at the auto shop $421. Buy it offline and then just pay labor fees.
