Replying to: caliberchic (Mar 07, 2008 10:40 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 9:27 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 6:48 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?

Has anyone contact Crysler and request that they buy back their car because the car is a lemon. I purchase my car 10/31/2007 (mainly to have enough room to take care of my terminally ill mother - transporting her) and it's been in the shop 8 or 9 times; 5 times for the same problem. I've complainted and written Crysler. It's been a week and I have not heard from them. I request they buy back my car because not only does the engine still rattle after they put in new (don't know what it's called) braces to hold the engine... the engine is straining like it's out of oil, when i make a turn it sounds like there's no power steering fluid in the car, it has a high pitch sound that mimicks a lawn mower from a far, the sqeaking of the seats, the tapping noise from the passenger side of the vehicle (must I go on). I once loved this car but now I get headaches just thinking about all the things going wrong with it. Seems like the engine has shaken many parts loose in the front of the car. Before they changed the brackets to hold up the engine they could not figure out what was wrong with the car...so they started taking the car apart. I got a whole new exhaust system and they updated the software. Now my car does not start on the first ignition key turn. I have to turn it twice (the car is only 6 months old) and the automatic locking system...when i went to unlock the doors it sounded like irobot was in the door (it made this robotic loud sound). I'm just sick with this car but I know if I trade it in to get another car I will loose because of the depreciation on it. Does anyone have any suggestions on what I should do? I'm feeling really hopeless now.
