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.
My headlights were burning out "at least" once a month.. Once had the lights replaced three times in a month. The dealership I had been taking it to was a joke. No real help. They just told me everything was fine and sent me on my way. It wasn't until the Alternator failed and had to be replaced did the problematic lights cease to be an issue. One set of lights has lasted over a year. Much better than buying a dozen more pairs..
Headlights became blurry and obscured light visibility from head light fixture. Shorting was constant also over the years. Many trips to mechanic shops but never a solution for the constant bulb replacement. After fixture replacement the headlights worked fine. (I bought LED headlights)
My mechanic who is also a trusted Friend found the problem with the module and was able to rewire the headlight to the other headlight. hopefully it will last, otherwise i will have to pay $700 dollers just to get my headlight working. unbelievable!!!! at this point, I WILL NEVER BY ANOTHER DODGE. i have been so let down with this car i just want ot cry and i still owe 5000 dollers on it.
I know i am supposed to do this for each time it happens but that would take forever. I have never owned or heard of another vehicle going thru headlights like this. I believe so far I have replaced both headlights 4 times each,. I have also replaced both taillights and one of the driving lights burned out last week. Of course Dodge has never heard of this. A call to Sylvania says this should not be happening.
