Replying to: caliberchic (Apr 04, 2007 4:29 pm) After reading some of the past forum discussions it looks like most people got the TSB 18-033-06 flash update (the recall that came out last year), I also had that done. This time the mechanics reflashed my PCM with TSB 18-020-06 and my car is fine now. So i'd recommend both of those TSB's to anyone with the stalling issue.
#51 of 149 Loss of Fuel, sputtering, almost stalling by vocs Apr 11, 2007 (3:51 pm)
I have an automatic RT/AWD. I got it in Nov. We put in mid grade gas. In the past 6 weeks or so on occassion when you first put the car in drive and it starts to go it sputters, like its not getting fuel, and then almost stalls. Nothing happens when you step on the gas, its almost like it goes dead and then it just starts going.   Anyone having issues similar in the automatics so I can share with the dealer?   Vocs Replies to this message: hez1972 (Aug 10, 2007 7:59 pm) blue07caliber7 (Oct 05, 2007 2:59 pm) justmelee (Oct 26, 2008 11:53 am) lexan1965 (Dec 17, 2008 1:05 pm) caliberhater (May 06, 2009 2:37 pm) cinglemom (May 06, 2009 5:29 pm) and 2 more... cinglemom (Oct 26, 2008 2:48 pm)

Don't you know everything you read online is false and suspicious!? I have heard that many times before. We have no reason to come here and make fake complaints about our vehicles. I know you're not crazy, my car does the SAME thing. As I said earlier, it stalled while in Neutral at least 5 times while sitting at Taco Bell!

Replying to: lillmcgee (Jun 23, 2007 11:50 pm) Make sure the gas cap is on tightly,at least 2 or 3 clicks and watch when you start your Caliber depressing any of the lock/unlock buttons on the key as you turn the key does wierd things with engine light also.

Replying to: vocs (Apr 11, 2007 3:51 pm) Not sure if you are still checking back on this issue, but the samething just happened to me again tonight, only car would not start at all. I could not get it going and had to have it towed to the dealership. It looks to me like it is something with the computer or electrical system, after 2 hours of trying to get the car started, the dashboard was like a fireworks display with all the different lights going on and off. I will let you know what the dealership says to me when they call with the bottom line.
#57 of 149 Erratic starts and and displays by bigtsr Aug 11, 2007 (7:00 am)
In looking at several different Caliber forums there have been similar occurences reported,not many but a few. The reported causes in the few I have read have always come back to either a poor connection at a battery post or a fuse in the power distribution module left side under the hood regarding a poorly seated fuse. Might be something to look at. One instance of a fuel pump having to be replaced due to erratic behavior.

Replying to: vocs (Apr 11, 2007 3:51 pm) I also have a caliber that i have had since july 06. The past 8 months with that car has been hell. I have had it at the dealership numerous times for stallling, sputtering, no get up and go and bad gas mileage. Finally they told me, and fixed, it was the cam shaft position and supposedly they fixed it. The car has been getting bad again. I dont get to go when I step on the gas and then it will jerk foward. I am so afraid that i am going to get hit or injured in that car. I will never ever ever buy another Dodge ANYTHING!!! also my flash light has never worked and I have had it replaced. any one else with flash light problems?
