🔹3rd complaint on lights, i.e. blinkers not working🔹Dec. 9, 2020 DECEMBER 2, 2020 sent to Kelly Blue Book ONLINE under Margee about bad lights. 🚙🚙🚙 I am NOT happy due to the problems I have had with this Dodge Caliber 2010. I purchased in 2011 using my retirement money to have my car. I just finished paying it off. First there was a recall on airbags, then no recall but history of air conditioning, heater overheating and smoking while driving on freeway at 60 mph, the company paid to fix it. NOW, ALL MY HEADLIGHTS & TURN SIGNALS & TAIL LIGHTS ARE OUT. I replaced both turn signals about 3 weeks prior to this NEW issue. I was told by a mechanic it would be over $1000 for the part (computer fuse box) PLUS LABOR. It would be a few thousand dollars to fix it. Per KBB it’s not worth much more than that. I had heard something before about light problems, but never got ANY recall notice or information on it. I looked for a “recall on lights” there is none. The company claims this is NOT A SAFETY ISSUE. However, where we travel & live it is COMPLETELY DARK at night, no lights anywhere. And in the daytime we are REQUIRED BY LAW to DRIVE WITH OUR HEADLIGHTS ON, A SAFETY ISSUE. How and where can I find out how to get my vehicle fixed by Dodge who KNEW that there was a problem. Will only be happy when corporate fixes my 2010 Dodge Caliber, STX electrically system. 🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙🚙 🔺Correction on today’s date, it’s 12/7/2020 NOT 11/7/2020🔻 FIND THIS UNDER COMPLAINTS IN DODGE CALIBER 2010 I’m having the headlight and taillight, blinker, and brake light issues too, here in Washington State. Today 🔺12/7/2020, I’m told by Chrysler to take to dealer and get a diagnosis. Then the dealer Hazelwood in Bremerton should share with corporate and they will decide if it “qualify” on their dime, for repairs... I’m shock to see so many early complaints and STILL no recalls. IVE BEEN TOLD ITS GOING TO BE EXPENSIVE, LIKE $1500 PARTS AND WHATEVER THE LABOR IS. The 2010 Dodge Caliber is NOT good for value due to this situation. So the value of my car is around $2500 - $3500. I’m so disappointed. We live in a state where the law requires headlight on during the day as well as night. We don’t have any public transportation either. No Uber, Lyft, bus services. 🔷And yes, this is starting to stall too, it’s happened twice. 🔷 I also had MAJOR problem with heater/air conditioning smoking. I was on freeway doing 60mph when I noticed the unit above my radio start smoking. I was lucky to be able to pull over and shut it off and sit until it cooled. No recall on this either. Yet MANY COMPLAINTS. Why is this Chrysler company NOT BEING HELD RESPONSIBLE for these repairs? Something is wrong here, especially since they only produce this car for a few years. I have to pay for a diagnostic too. It’s their product, why are we paying? If anyone knows where we can get help to pay to get this fixed please let us all know. If there are any lawsuits or class action law suites against the company I’m interested in joining as well.

When the car starts, the turn signal functions normally. Then the left-rear light goes out, the dash "bings" and the blinker on the dash (and the front-left light) goes rapidly. At that point the behavior is like when a bulb burns out. Then, intermittently, the left-rear bulb comes back on, the blinker slows back to normal and it stays there for a few seconds. Then it goes back into the above mentioned failure mode. The "bing" only happens once per driving session but the signal (on the left side only) might cycle several times while I am making a particular turn.
