Replying to: ticleve2 (Mar 07, 2008 11:24 am) on your CSRT4 but there are many on the road already in southern Ontario and in eastern US,several local dealers have them sitting on their lots. Other than the traditional problems that come up with the tuners or modders 4 things stand out in all problem posts I have read on CSRT4 those are: 1-Dealers failing to remove shipping spacers on front struts during prep. 2-Fuel injector failure throwing CEL code(usually traced to a single injector). 3-Poor connection of oil lines at turbo(minor leak). 4-Intercooler hose clamp loose or rubbing on coolant hose (tsb issued).

Replying to: caliberchic (Mar 07, 2008 11:40 am) but you have to admit in general of the 190,000 or so Calibers sold the only ones you see generally posting are those who are looking for help or answers to what they interpet as a problem. There are lemons in every carline and unfortunately they get bought many times by people who just want good transportation without problems but as a whole are ignorant of how's,why's and general responsibilities that come with car ownership. First model year buyers are particularly prone to developmental blues and hopefully car makers learn and make things better than the previous model or take proper care of the previous buyers. I personally have not had a problem with my 07 Caliber built June 06 and have only had a software update at my request and free oil changes, there are many Calibers now hitting the 50,000 mile mark so time will tell if problems outweigh the fun I have driving my "not so cute Caliber".

Replying to: ticleve2 (Mar 08, 2008 10:27 am) by posts on another forum several people have picked up their CSRT4s with the Kicker sound system installed,my only comment is that I expected the woofer to be built into sidewall but they stuck it in the cargo area up against the back of the seats.

Replying to: bigtsr (Mar 08, 2008 7:48 am) The nature of an auto forum causes this trend, 9 times out of 10 members are here posting questions/complaining about problems. Rarely is it just to speak positively about their vehicle. Those people are out having fun driving! |

I have an 08 dodge caliber 1.8 liter 5 speed manul transmission. My car is already in the shop getting the tranny worked on!! i think it is the syncronizers. It seems to me the transmission was made really cheap. Anyone have any problems with the 5 speed?
