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.
Car overheated during a 10min drive. Took it to mechanic and replaced the thermostats that were not responding to send coolant to engine. This was not the ultimate fix. Head gasket blew 4 weeks later. Stay away from this car!
Car always ran a little hot but then all of a sudden it starting getting really hot over a week period took it in with another issue I had and they said there was a cracked radiator plug.
