The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. While driving approximately 25-30 mph, the contact stated that the accelerator pedal became stuck when it was depressed and the vehicle accelerated up to 80 mph. When the contact applied the brakes, the vehicle did not slow down. The steering wheel would not move and the gear shift lever would not shift into park. When she applied the emergency brake, the vehicle spun over a sidewalk into a parking lot. The identical failure occurred when she attempted to restart the vehicle; therefore, she towed the vehicle to an authorized dealer. Two months prior to the failure, the keys became stuck in the ignition for thirty minutes. The dealer had not informed the contact what caused the failure to occur. The contact stated that she experienced headaches and neck pain after the failure occurred. The current and failure mileages were approximately 60,000.

The dealer has had my vehicle a total of 27 days not including the days it is currently at the dealership in 6 occurrences. All occurrences have been electrical problems. Because of the severity of the problems my wife does not any longer feel safe driving the car with my children fearing it will either leave her stranded or even worse catch on fire while driving it.

2007 Dodge Caliber have had this car since June 2006. In the 14 months I have had it on average it seems at least once a month I have to take time out of my schedule/work to go to the dealership drop it off and explain the same repeat problems. This not only takes time but I also have to make other arrangements for transportaion. The car has had a grinding type noise upon ignition since I bought it along with the engine constantly wanting to stall upon slow down or complete stops and then trying to accelorate again. This has caused me to nearly be rearended and or hit numerous times. Each time I have had it in the service center I am told the grinding noise can not be detected. I pick the car up and no sooner than I get home and leave again it happens. As for the stalling I was told it was the power controll module and it was replaced and they considered it repaired. This was in January, it is September and still this is happening more and more often. I have had it back numerous times. There are many other problems with this vehicle that the service center has told me was'nt a problem or they have corrected and it continues.

2007 Dodge Caliber 1.8 liter 5 speed stalls at idle in traffic or when coasting to a stop. When this happens power steering and brakes no longer work. I took it to the dealer and they found nothing. I almost ran into a wall the last time it stalled there is no warning, like you shut of the key. It will restart no problem but there is a potential for a rear end crash at stop lights.
