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.

spoiler should have a much sturdier attachment to the car (1 reports)
The edge of this spoiler came loose once before about a year ago. Dealer did a quick glue fix that did not hold up. It is not covered by warranty. Going through a normal automated car wash knocked the spoiler completely loose, it was only held on by the light wire. Don't know what it will cost or if insurance will cover any of it but I expect this to probably be a $1000 fix. It is a very poor design of the attachment to the car.
