Replying to: steve9633 (Feb 08, 2008 11:48 am) i ended up geting -slaps forehead- a chrysler pacifica...but so far so got...i honestly LOVE this car...it's a little bit of a gas hog...but it's a lot bigger...and for the one little simple fact that i have two big dogs(german shepherd/wolf hybird and a pure bred husky) i needed something bigger than the caliber....a lot bigger...i'm made at myself for going with another chrysler car but so far so good...i've had it a month and nothing...the caliber was acting up at 1500miles...so it would have been about 2 months to 2 1/2 months old...the pacifica's an 06 too and it had less miles then my car did ! the lady that owned it was a doctor...she traded it for a 08 chevy equinox...not a big fan of them i drove the 05 or 06 equinox and hated it! water stained the seat....not a very nice car...the dash was really odd too.. hope you can find some luck with your cali...maybe you should dump it too like i did  good luck! i hope it gets better!

Has anyone had problems with thier CV Joints. My car has been making off and on grinding noises when I turn the steering wheel since before Christmas of 2008 Took it to the dealer and they told me they "tightened up some loose bolts" Exactly a month later its back and worse. Monday they put it on the hoist and the mechanic told me they are replacing both axles! Figures its a cold issue....something to do with the grease not circulating in the CV joint....

My horn no longer work. I thought it was a fuse problem, but it's not. I brought the car in 9/2007 & no longer under warranty. Any Suggestions? |

| Took my Caliber in to the dealer and they replaced both axles! Told me it MIGHT fix the problem but he was not sure, and if it got cold again, noise may come back due to the grease not distributing correctly?? Told me to bring it back again if noise continues as it is all warranty work..... | |

Last December, I bought a 2007 Dodge Caliber. I have had no problems with it unitl recently, it statred making noises and when I took it to the shop, they said my alternator was bad and needed replaced. The caliber only had fourty-seven thousand miles on it. Needless to say, the part alone was not cheap and where I live no one had ever seen an alternator look like the one in the caliber. The part had to come stright from the factory(which took like a week and half to get) Then we had to pray, the mechanic didn't screw it up.  The factory did how ever take the broke one and gave us a refund, but it wasn't close to what we paid for it. Go Figure!

I bought my 2007 Caliber with about 3K mile on it. At about 30k mile the ball joints went out. They replaced them under warranty, Then the rear strut mounts needed to be replace because they were making noise.( under warranty ). Now at 42K miles it has a electrical probelm they can't fiqure out. Its been broke since August 28 of 2009 and to this day is still at the dealer 10-30-09. My car has been at the dealer for 63 days and counting. The electronic throttle control light comes on and then the car shuts down. They have replaced the computer, 2 cam sensors, crank sensor, throttle position sensor, checked the wiring, put a recorder on the computer with no results. They have had factory service techs working on it three different times ( Their trouble shooting team ). No one know whats wrong. I have called dodge/chrysler and filed the lemon law paperwork. They are just giving me the run around. Do not buy a Caliber. Anyone else having this problem???

When I was sitting at a red light my caliber just completely shut down - lights and everything went off. Then it would not restart - just completely dead. I tried several times and then finally it started back up. Took to the dealer since still under warranty, and they said they could not find anything wrong. It has 30 thousand miles. I have had censors go out four times all seem to be electrical. I am not sure what to do about this. |
