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.
Coolant was constantly empty, therefore replaced leaking (plastic) coolant system housing unit after the thermostats replaced. This was still not the ultimate fix $1000 dollars later from the engine overheating issue! Way to make a piece of crap car Dodge! Apparently the housing unit replacement is a common issue with this car. Run away!
