Replying to: foxy4 (Dec 16, 2006 5:18 am) Another complaint with regards to software,this has been noted on other Caliber forums regarding the 1.8l/5spd stalling and fluctuations in rpms. It again has been resolved by a software flash or update covered by Tech Service Bulletin #18-033-06,quite a number of owners with these symptoms claim this resolves the stalling problems. Call DCX customer service or try another dealer you deserve service for money spent on your purchase.
#26 of 149 Check Engine Light out of No where by vocs Dec 23, 2006 (7:48 pm)
Hi   Today we ran a lot of errands and were out shopping our new caliber RT, AWD. We got it 6 weeks ago it has 1880 miles on it. The check engine light came on out of no where.   Anyone have any clue what is going on?   Should I not drive the car? I have to take a few trips this weekend/holiday to families houses. Should I be worried about driving it?   Any help is appreciated.   Pam Replies to this message: bigtsr (Dec 24, 2006 8:15 am) micweb (Jan 02, 2007 10:24 am)

Replying to: vocs (Dec 23, 2006 7:48 pm) Check the gas cap is on and tightened and if it's gone when you restart car generally it's not an immediate thing,but have it checked out that's what warranties are for.

Replying to: vocs (Dec 23, 2006 7:48 pm) If your car was built prior to November, it may need to have its engine control computer reprogrammed - see Tech Service Bulletin #18-033-06. You can tell the build date of your car from the placard attached to the front driver's seat door or door sill.

Replying to: foxy4 (Jan 04, 2007 2:30 am) I took my new(900 miles) Caliber to the dealer for a MIL light. They are going to replace the pcm computer. They say it is a problem inside the computer and not a software problem. 2.4l cvt r/t fwd

#33 of 149 engine cooling question by trans12 Feb 02, 2007 (8:08 pm)
I have a new caliber R/T,about a 1000 miles on it now---I have noticed that after driving around town for about a 1/2 hour that the engine temp could be warmer. The gage doesn't even read half way. I took a small trip and the gage went to half way as in other cars I have had in the past. It has been around 15 degrees here and I know its cold, but the car should still warm up in an 1/2 hour . Just wondering if anybody else is experiencing something similiar or if there is a problem. It acts like maybe the thermostat is stuck open. The dealer said I should let it idle for about 15 min before driving... Thanks trans12 Replies to this message: bigtsr (Feb 03, 2007 7:35 am) ricerocket71 (Feb 07, 2007 1:48 pm) tanner5mf (Feb 11, 2007 7:31 am) steve9633 (Feb 06, 2008 1:25 pm)
