I drive a 2007 Dodge Caliber. It had 9,125 miles on the odometer at the time of purchase. It currently has 13,001 miles on it. I have owned it for 2 months. Several times the engine has stalled while I've had it in neutral or reverse. I've mentioned it to the dealership when it first occurred. They had me bring the car in to get it looked at but they said they found nothing wrong with the vehicle. It has been one month since they have looked at the vehicle and the same situation has been occurring repeatedly.

My 2007 Dodge Caliber has been in and out of the shop 8 times (invoices enclosed). And 5 of the complaints were about the rattling my engine was making. Nov 11 " rattling on passenger side also a ticking noise in the passenger side. Result: Tech found missing bolt on fender causing the rattle. Nov 30 ? rattling noise in engine area; also rattling noise when on incline and accelerates result: No service performed ? unable to duplicate. March 28, 2008 ? engine making noise rattling noise on the passenger side. Result: No service provided " unable to duplicate customer concerned, they suggested a part for my vehicle. They ordered it and called me when the part was at the shop.) April 12, 2008 -they replace the exhaust mid-pipe isolator, re-torqued the mid-pipe clamp. April 17, 2008 " I told them the car is still making rattling noises and they typed " customer states veh. Making noise in front of the veh. Result: They erased & reprogrammed gpec powertrain control module with new software. They told me my car was fixed I took it on a test drive. They did not fix the problem. I never took the car home with me. It stayed in the shop for another week.) April 23, 2008 ? customer states veh. Making rumbling noise at 1500 RPM. (this has been the same complaint over and over again.) result: Idler pulleys causing excessive vibration. Replacement of the idler pulleys. Now, the rattling is minimal, however I still hear it, constantly, and the nerve wrecking ticking on the passengers side of the car. I told them now that the rattling is minimal the engine still does not sound right (straining) and now there are other noises that can be heard while driving. This car has cut off on me while making a turn and has almost stalled on me, now, three times.. I wrote DaimlerChrysler a third letter -please take action under this act: Virginia motor vehicle warranty enforcement act. I hope they take this car back... I don't feel safe driving my daughter or myself around in it.

The first week I heard a hard & solid click noise coming from the rear of the vehicle 6-15-06. On 6-18-06 while in stand-still traffic the vehicles oil light lit up & chimed prior to the engine stalling & in neutral with the clutch to the floor. On 6-19-06 I took it in to the shop. John and I returned to the dealership 6-22-06 spoke with bob corlette about the multiple mechanical failures. We were told by bob that there is nothing that they can do. We spoke with david tindale (who provided the owners manual) & who reassured both of us that the problems would either be fixed or if they couldn't be fixed that they would be able to enact the lemon law & replace this car with a new one. I dropped the vehicle off the following week 6-26-06, len thomas said the stalling problem could not be duplicated. Since picking up my vehicle, over the last 2 weeks the vehicle has still stalled at least 8-10 times. I received a call from lori at the dealership on a follow up to my service where she stated she too heard the clicking noise since she drove the vehicle. She also stated that the vehicle stalled on her while at a red light, but wrote it off to possibly her error and so this was not documented to service. On 7-12-06 w/ len thomas & david tindale to please call me back in reference to what lori stated about the stalling problem. I called and sp/ w david tindale & len thomas about these mechanical issues 7-13-06. I also followed up w/ a Chrysler customer assistance request 7-13-06 file number 15156132. Len thomas called after speaking with Chrysler about the problems and found that there were 4 other 2007 Dodge Calibers in the us that have been exhibiting the same stalling problems. Furthermore, while sitting idle in traffic my speedometer display races up to 20 mph and back to 0 and races to 40 mph and back to 0. this has now occurred approx. 6 times in the past few weeks. I reported this new mechanical failure to len thomas 7-20-06.

While accelerating I was hearing a rattling noise in the engine of the car. There also was a recall on the car regarding a faulty PCM which is supposed to detect an engine thermostat malfunction. I took my car into the dealership for the recall, and they looked at my engine and fixed the rattle which they told me was due to the PCM needing to be reset....I read another complaint about the engine rattle and thought I would put mine in so the person could read this and now that the rattle is actually something due to the recall and not the type of gasoline they were using as they were told.
