Subframe rusty and broke while driving car went left almost causing a head on coalition

- Cincinnati, OH, USA

I took my car to my repair man he was trying to see why my tires had the steel treads showing and the car shaking. Once up on the lift he found the subframe was rusted out. He ordered a new frame which took all my savings. He was surprised I made it off the expressway without an accident.

Front subframe is rusted out with visible holes. Manufacturer only extended warranty and did not issue recall. I just found out and tried to get it repaired but extended warranty is expired and they will not cover costs. Tons of owners complaining about this as it is listed as front and rear crossmember corrosion (X69 warranty extension) - 2008-2012 Dodge Caliber & Jeep compass/patriot> tons of owners are furious and trying to get help on this serious issue that can easily result in a catastrophic accident and even death.

The crossmember or engine cradle rusted through causing a lot of creaking noises while being driven. Upon diagnosis it was recommended to be replaced immediately.

The front and rear subframe are rotted/rusted to the point it is ready to collapse in half at any given time. There was a warranty extension on the vehicle that expired in Dec. 2019 and originally was extended by 5 years in 2017. I do not feel that this is adequate due to the potential hazard this would pose going down the highway at 60mph. Big safety concern and they don't plan on helping in any way shape or form due to being 6 months past their 'extended' warranty. I believe this really needs to be inspected since this subframe issue is known from 3-4 different Dodge/Chrysler/Jeep models and not adequately covered by the manufacturer. Should be a recall, no rust on the vehicle besides the rotted frame. Known issue on these vehicles and not adequately addressed/covered when such a safety concern.

Takata recall. My car keeps on blowing the rear tire about every 6-8 months.my steering wheel also shakes/vibrates when driving over 55 mph. The tires are wearing uneven. I have discovered that there is a rear cross member recall for my car which would explain this. I will be taking my car in to be aligned however I would like to know how to get the recall honored before doing

Electrical throttle control light has popped up several times and I've noticed it's when it has rained. When this happens, the car slows down and causes forcefully pull over and shut the car off. It doesn't start after the first few tries and eventually does. The car began to overheat after driving it over 60mph for about 20mins. The car has given me the engine coolant temperature warning symbol when this happens, making an ugly almost screeching sound, slows down the car until I can't push the gas any longer causing me to pull over to turn off the car until it restarts again. The car is beginning to over heat after driving it for a long period of time over 20 mins this will began to happen. I've put coolant recently and not sure if there's a hole in the reservoir but I've done what I could to get this fixed. The car jolts after 3rd gear especially going up hill.

"takata recall"my wife and I purchased a vehicle and we thought we got a good deal until the car quickly became a death trap that was so unsafe to drive. The steering would pull too the left and when we went around a bridge on the freeway or any turning of the wheel. We had to stabilize the car because it would almost hop to the left and there would be a lot of traffic regardless on freeway or streets. We told them there was a lapse in the speed and this has just been a nightmare. We already paid almost all the car and we still have our warranty but they want us to pay 400 dollars, what we pay as a car pymt every month. Or they said they'd finance the work they do on the car through car finance department. My wife said absolutely not. We have kids and instead of enjoying time in the car, we've spent stressed paying for it since the first week. We've been to the point of so much fear to feeling as though it's an icy day and the roads are wet and so slippery but the problem is... it wasn't even raining or snowing.. fear of crashing or something breaking. My wife read a lot about the same thing happening with our vehicle. She saw too many people, iust like us and it said recalled, but it said things that have been reported that should be recalled but hasn't been at that time. I'm reporting this because we aren't going to pay to die in a car the mechanic didn't even want to drive far because it wasn't safe!! the mechanic from the same dealership we purchased the carfrom

I've had the arm bar and ball joint replaced twice in a year's time, which causes a grinding noise. I've had the brakes replaced three times along with rattle clips, in the last year, with no prevail in changing the noise nor high speed-braking oscillating. A caliper has also been replaced. While sitting at stop lights, the car unpredictably stalls-- I've tried to reproduce the setting to have the issue happen when a technician tests it, but it appears to happen unpredictably. The car has leaked from some entry point to cause the floor boards to be wet, and in the last year, the sun roof seems to be leaking as I have water pouring onto me from the front dome lightt. The water is causing mold, which is not beneficial to the family I drive with. Based on the NHTSA site and the thousands of youtube videos, these are pretty wildly known issues by Dodge, despite the lack of complaints on these sites.

July 03, 2014 the internal electronic throttle was replaced, it is now doing the same thing as then as of December 01, 2016.. etc light comes on, decrease in acceleration, stumbles in take off, hesitates, have to pull car off road and stop, wait a few minutes to reset and it will continue like nothing has happened. Need to check the manufactory warranty on this part. Dealership told me they warrant the part for up to 2 years but check with the manufactory. How do I do that and know what the manufactory is?

This has happened a few different time, but when trying to accelerate from 45mph onto the highway from an on ramp my Dodge Caliber 2010 started to jerk and wouldn't let me go any faster, which made my car actually decelerate. Also there were times when I tried accelerating to pass someone and it just wouldn't go any faster, but there were no jerks.
