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.

one month and I am back, this is a recurring problem in my eyes. Had Sirius radio and they told me that runs on a 20 amp system and this is not a 20 amp system. Sold me 3 ATM15 fuses and showed me where to put them. Told me again that not 20 amp system but when I close my cigarette power plugs plug it says 20 amps on it.. I don't understand why we are putting 15 amp fuses in a 20 amp(stated on object itself) object. I also noticed there a no extra fuse spaces for spare fuses and stated that this is the last Dodge I will own and tech asked why I told him Ford gives you spare spots to store fuses. I no longer use my Sirius in the car and that seams to solve problem. Either that or now it knows I have spares and it wont blow.
Not done yet told me it was again the cell phone charger I was plugging in explained it was brand new!!! try again guts, Had Sirus radio and they told me that runs on a 20 amp system and this is not a 20 amp system.

The rear windshield wiper is not working, so the 15 amp fuse had to be replaced. I thought this was a new car. Very annoying veryyyyyyyy annnnoying!
