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.

I purchased my Caliber SXT sport August 2006- with 0 miles. It was great until the warranty expired... 36,000 miles - Right Strut leaking needed to be replaced 42,000 miles - Outer tie rods on both sides replaced 50,000 miles - Left front strut leaking 60,000 miles- lower control arms, ball bearings need replaced 62,000 miles- car stalls out and need cam shaft sensors replaced.   Spoke to Dodge, claim there is nothing they can do except pay $100?!?!?!?!? Come on, i bought a lemon!

I am so glad I am not the only one that thinks the Caliber is a piece of crap!!! I want to take this car out to the desert and set it on fire!! My car now sounds like there is golf ball bouncing around under the hood. I've had a couple friends of friends look at it and have been told it could be a pulley, power tran or barrings. I took it to Firestone and they told me it was the alternator, which I thought was crap. I don't know alot about cars but I've never heard of an alternator making such God awful noises that my car is making. You can hear me coming from a block away! But it makes me feel better that I'm not the only told this was the problem. Anyone else had experience with the lifetime powertram warranty? Come to find out it's only lifetime for the original owner. And it is null and void because my car was first owned as a car rental. Long story short I wish I would have listened when I was told not to buy a Dodge. My car is only two years old and I had less problems out of my Buick that was 15 years old!!!! I have severe buyers remorse!!!
#149 of 149 Dodge Caliber 2009 - Transmission Problems by derbysden Nov 13, 2009 (10:30 am)
Reading all these problems makes me scared now of my Caliber. The problem I have is that I have a grinding noise coming from the transmission. The problem, I have been told is "celenoids in the transmission" which, there is no fix for yet. I've been told the engineers are working on it. My dealer has been great, and I will be forcing the issue with Chrysler. Give me a time frame on how long this is going to be, or compensate my dealer and get me into another vehicle. I paid cash for this thing, and dang it, I want perfection, or take the crap back..
