Got it from the dealership engine light came on right after I drove off and it's going to be 100 dollars to have them even look at it the parts

When I start my car, it starts just fine and then about 1-2 minutes later the engine check sign will come on followed by a red lighting bold on the dashboard. Once the red lightning bolt comes on either parked or driving in a city street or highway, the car immediately starts making loud noises, shakes uncontrollably and speed reduces, sometimes to the point where it shuts off while I'm still driving on the highway or city street. It sort of starts forcing itself to move while in motion. While the light is still on, if I stop at a red light or stop sign and it's time for me to go or the light is green, when I push the gas paddle the car sort of tries to move with pushes, just as though someone was pushing it while parked and then all of a sudden moves with speed. To resolve it, I have to stop on the side and turn the car off occasionally, wait about 5 minutes and then start it for the car to drive normally once again until the red lightning bolt comes on again. The light comes on whether parked or in motion. At times I'd still be driving the car and when the lightning sign comes on, the car shuts off while still on drive in the middle of traffic. I've taken it to Dodge and other mechanics but nobody is able to fix it. It's really unsafe on the road with the sudden stops, pushes and shutting off.

"takata recall"my wife and I purchased a vehicle and we thought we got a good deal until the car quickly became a death trap that was so unsafe to drive. The steering would pull too the left and when we went around a bridge on the freeway or any turning of the wheel. We had to stabilize the car because it would almost hop to the left and there would be a lot of traffic regardless on freeway or streets. We told them there was a lapse in the speed and this has just been a nightmare. We already paid almost all the car and we still have our warranty but they want us to pay 400 dollars, what we pay as a car pymt every month. Or they said they'd finance the work they do on the car through car finance department. My wife said absolutely not. We have kids and instead of enjoying time in the car, we've spent stressed paying for it since the first week. We've been to the point of so much fear to feeling as though it's an icy day and the roads are wet and so slippery but the problem is... it wasn't even raining or snowing.. fear of crashing or something breaking. My wife read a lot about the same thing happening with our vehicle. She saw too many people, iust like us and it said recalled, but it said things that have been reported that should be recalled but hasn't been at that time. I'm reporting this because we aren't going to pay to die in a car the mechanic didn't even want to drive far because it wasn't safe!! the mechanic from the same dealership we purchased the carfrom

2 months ago I was dropping my son off at school and I went to turn on the main road when my car started bucking and then I noticed a light with a lighting bolt flash and I turned back around and went home and read my manual and it told me if the light doesn't stay on it's drivable lately it's been bucking more then ever and so I went online and found out that there are hundreds of Caliber owners with this same problem and my car has less then 60,000 miles on it. It shouldn't be having problems like this already. I still drive the car but it is not a safe feeling with kids in the back seat.

The car would fail to start using remote starter on occasion then progressed to starting w/remote start but when the key inserted the car would shut down. Progressed with extra problems such as not having power when it did stay running. Would only go 10 mph, sputtering, with electronic throttle control coming on. I turned car off and tried again and ran for awhile and regained speed and w/out missing/sputtering. Appear random and continued to work and in heavy traffic car begins to rapid decent in speed (50 mph to quick drop to 10 mph) with etc light on. With drop down in speed/momentum and not because of breaking the reason that left no indication to the person(s) behind me to have a warning. I put emergency flashers on and got to a safer place. Turned car off/on, repeated sometimes w/remote was the only way to start car but many times placing the key in the ignition actually shut the car down. Improved at times but with no warning the car would go into to rapid decrease in speed and even try to stall at times, especially if it was combined with braking at stop signs/signals/traffic. The dealership only focused on the electronic throttle control and said it was completely out. The actual day I left it at dealership it was running fine that particular morning. I have had it back 1 day but I am very concerned with a repeat history of this due to no real warning because the light appears as you are already shutting down/slowing down. By the time the light comes on someone behind me could already have hit me and I usually travel interstate and this is scary. The car also wanted increase on a couple of moments but this was not as much as the reverse. Car is just over a couple of years old & I have also just replaced the driver door mechanism for the window operation (dropped when it broke). Vent system repaired.
