The hinges fail on driver and passengers side the door will not shut gets stuck wide open if force shut cause you have no tools to pry bottom hinge back in place it causes a huge dent in front fender... there are a huge amount of owners complaining of this issue online so I think it's a big flaw! I have since replaced mine with used one's and do expect to have to do it again due to the design of the hinges... if this happens to your door it will not close completely if you manage to get it to closing point because the door latch will no longer line up properly... safety issues my door opened on me going down the road on my way home with it going around a corner...thank god I had my seat belt on... some links to more complaints..dodgeforum.com/forum/Dodge-Caliber/284660-door-hinge-problem.html answers.yahoo.com/question/index"qid=20091111084343aaihadt caliberforumz.com/showthread.php?T=35636www.qfak.com/cars_transportation/maintenance_repair/"id=208841#.uxj4H38O4V4 and many more....

I would like to report a defect with my 2007 Dodge caiber.the inside handle on the drivers side door peeled away the outer layer. As I had my hand on the handle I cut myself. Since it wasn't under warranty any more I had to pay for a new handle. I didn't think it was right since I think it is a defect.
