I finally did get my SRT4 the lst day of March. The car is great, fun to drive, lots of power, great handling. The one thing this car needs is paddle shifters on the steering wheel. This car has so much torque steer you get pretty busy when going through the gears with the turbo kicked in and trying to steer with one hand. Other than that I love it.

Check your state's Lemon law.NJ has a pretty good one.My neighbor had a Chrysler Town & Country minivan and after using the lemon law Chrysler did in fact buy the car back.

Thanks for responding. I live in Virginia and I did check the lemon law.
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.

I'm having some major issue still. I thought about trading my caliber in but I'm worried about the cost. I'm upside down and really can't afford to have extra money tagged on to the carnote on the other car. Any suggestions?

I HAD a 2007 Dodge Caliber (10/31/2007 - 06/17/2008) I had so many issues from whistling, stalling, studdering, engine rattles, engine straining, ticking. I wrote several certified letters to DiamlerChrysler & Dodge they never contacted me or reponded to my letters. I'M TIRED OF DEALING WITH COMPANIES THAT DON'T SEE ME AS A REAL PERSON. I traded my car in yesterday for a Honda CRV... WONDERFUL. I got the LX 2wd. I don't need more than that. Since the Caliber did not hold it's value (smile), I ended up being $11k upside down. I didn't care. I was almost in tears at the Honda dealer... I told them I REALLY needed to get out of the car (if i told them the whole story they wouldn't have let me trade my car in). They were understanding and did what they could to get me into a new crv. I feel your pain but consider this... LIFE IT TOO SHORT; I want to enjoy this so called life I have now instead of fighting car dealers, car repair shops about that crappy car. I wish you well and I hope your a strong person.

I had the flash update done by the dealer on 7/1/08 for my '08. It has not helped the knocking problem at all. I have another appointment to bring the car in next week. WA State Lemon Law only requires me to bring the car in 4 times before requesting a buyout or replacement from Dodge. I will only be giving them those 4 required tries.
 
Question... Has anyone had a problem with teh gas guage being inaccurate? I get home from work and the guage says 1/2 a tank. Whe I wake up in the morning, I show 3/4 of a tank. The dealer says that they cannot find an explanation for the problem.

have an 08 dodge caliber with 5 speed manual transmission. My car only has 15,000 km and I also have problems with the transmission aswell. In the morning, when I start the car after 2-3 minutes the transmission makes a rattling sound. When I press the clutch pedal the noise dissapears (when I release the clutch, the noise returns.)
I took the car to the dealership and they called an engineer. He told me "ALL" calibers make this noise, some more then others. So I told him if crysler are still making brand new cars with a rattling noise in the transmission next time I will buy another brand name. Crysler and the dealership are still refusing to fix my transmission
