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.

replace tie rods, sway bar links & bushings (1 reports)
my son drives this car while away at college. Called and said it was making a noice that was not right. Told him to take it to a repair shop where the subframe is completly rusted to the point it can no longer be driven. The tie rods, swaybar links and bushings need replaced. While my son was driving down the street something gave way and he almost crashed the car because he almost did not make his turn. This car is a 2007 with 60,000 miles and for it to be in this shape is a shame. Dodge should be ashamed of themselves.
