2009 Dodge Caliber SXT- a gust of wind hit my door as I proceeded to exit the vehicle. The door hinges exploded, sending a spring into my face, and hyper-extending the door range. The dealer appraised the damage at $600 dollars for replacement of the hinges and cosmetic repair. It will be filed as a warranty claim but it will "most likely be kicked back".
