CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Dodge Caliber has all kinds of suspension problems at relatively low mileage: typically 40-50,000 miles.
The most commonly reported problems are with ball joints & control arms going bad. Tie rods & leaking struts are also reported failing in the same mileage range.
Unfortunately all the suspension problems means some owners only find out after they notice their tires are ruined.
We've given the 2007 Caliber our worst rating because these problems happen at such low mileage, & it involves a wide range of apparently defective parts. With most other cars, major suspension work is pretty rare under 50,000 miles.
The rear door opener fell off the back of the Caliber. Many times when I wanted to open it by clicked it didn't work but I tried to open it thinking it worked. The other day I clicked and when I went to open the rear, hatch the spoiler piece fell off. I have photographs of it being taped up and after removing the tape how it hangs loosely and dangles. I would like to be reimbursed the $350. for the cost of a new one to be put on. I did nothing to damage this and it would be considered a design flaw a very heavy door lifted by a small piece.
