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.

Replying to: habalanche (May 14, 2008 1:23 pm) This is from the VA Dept. of Motor Vehicle. What's the Lemon Law? If your new vehicle is a lemon, Virginia's Lemon Law requires the manufacturer of the car to refund your money or replace the vehicle. How do I know if my vehicle's a lemon? If you have tried unsuccessfully to have your new vehicle (purchased in Virginia) repaired three or more times for the same problem, or the vehicle has been out of service for more than thirty days in one year, your vehicle may be classified as a lemon under the Virginia Motor Vehicle Warranty Enforcement Act. If you think your vehicle is a lemon, contact the Office of Consumer Affairs before filing a claim under this Act. All claims must be filed within 18 months following the date you first received the vehicle. I'm hoping they will honor and do what's right. Thanks for the little glimmer of hope.
