Front Ball Joints And Control Arms Bad
2007 Dodge Caliber (Page 4 of 4)
This problem may be covered under warranty. Ask your Dodge dealer.
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.

Replaced lower ball joints on both sides, before that at about 45000 miles had tie rod ends replaced. at about 34000 miles a switch that locks transmission in park stopped working & had to haul to a garage with a wrecker. Now I think the trans. is slipping, but the dealer said drive it till the check engine light comes on... and the gas mileage is going down. Have been a dodge man for years, but I think it is time to change.
