  • I Regret Buying this car more than anything. - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    This car is the worst decision Ive ever made. The repairs on the car cost more than the actual car. This is my first car and i now im scared to go anywhere because i am afraid that ill get stuck there. The engine, sensors, axis, cumputer, fuse box and breaks all of them were shady. I hate this car take my advice and dont get it. I promise youll regret it.

  • Too many problems - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    Loved this car the first year I had it, especially the adapter to plug my Ipod into. After a year, the radiator cap had to be replaced (car overheated). After 25,000 miles on tires- had to replace all tires because 3 out of 4 tires were out of allignment and inside tread was worn. Now, at 44,000 miles, Adaoter hose is leaking, car over heated like before, and fluid is leaking. conveniently out of warranty, this will cost me $485 to fixt ($120 of it to flush the fluid I had to put in the car to get myself unstranded, may have cost less to get a tow). This car also doesnt get as good as milage as it claims, and the tank is too small, still many trips to the gas station.

  • Huge Tire Issue - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    At 20K miles the road noise was deafening and we noticed the passenger rear tire was warn down to the tread markers. Upon evaluation, we were told that we needed to purchase 4 new tires. We were not given any explanation as to why we were being held responsible for the worn tires. Some research revealed that we are not the only ones with this issue. Chrysler sent us to Firestone. Firestone engineers, said that the tire specified by Chrysler is softer and does not qualify for any tread warranty. The Firestone told me that Chrysler knows that the tires are no good after 12K to 15K miles. Chrysler refuses to help. The only resolution is buy new tires. Apparently, once a year.

  • Thought i would like it! - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    I went with a smaller vehicle for gas reasons. I find myself putting $40-$50 a week in this car. I think it was over-rated when they put the gas mileage on the vehicle. I also had it in the shop for road noise,"the tires were deflated to put into showroom, and never were inflated for me at pick- up". It still sound like a mac truck from the inside, it is so loud that I cant even hear a siren when its behind me. I have to turn the radio up loud to just cover up the road noise. I really wished I had shopped around more before purchasing this vehicle. It rides like a lumber wagon!

  • What Gas Mileage? - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    I bought the R/T fully loaded, with chrome rims. The car is great for those who are practical. It is not a luxury car. So dont expect it to be. I use it to go snowboarding in VT (live in NYC) and itÂ’s perfect. The engine has weak acceleration and is loud but that is a 4cl engine Gas mileage is 28mpg at 55mph, 23mpg at 70mph. The gas mileage gauge is useful. Who drives 55 on the thruway? So who ever says this car has good gas mileage, stop!

  • Dodge-Never Again - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    After 66,666 freeway miles, the CVT transmission has failed and needs to be replaced at a cost of $4,500 in a vehicle worth approx $13,000. It will be dumped on another unsuspecting sap before the replacement transmission fails, which is certain.

  • OK, but nothing great - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    The engine in this vehicle makes a lot of noise which is one of the worst parts of driving it. When the heat is on there is also a whistling noise. Not even sure why, might be a problem.

  • Wait till 2009 to buy - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    The car was fine until the weather changed to below freezing at night. When I start the car it idles rough and it wont "rev up" until the car warms up. The car bogs down instead. The dealership has no idea what the problem is. Not a car for people with climate changes in their hometown.

  • Want to drive this one off a cliff!! - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    I bought the car brand new. I regret this purchase everyday. Since its purchase I have had nothing but problem. Its needed new struts, tie- rod ends, has electrical issues, tires are shot after 20,000 miles, and at 30,000 the starter and relay is bad! This is just a bad car!!! If it would do me any good....Id park it right in front of the bank!! No need for the repo man....Im giving this one a special delivery!! Big ticket item with BIG PROBLEMS! Dodge went wrong on this one!

  • New Transmission at 30,000 Miles - 2007 Dodge Caliber
    By -

    My Caliber is now in the shop because I need a new transmission. I have 30,000 miles on the car. I thank God that it is still under warranty. I bought it before the new warranty of 100,000 miles. I am thinking about selling it and buying something other than a Dodge. I like the car but I cant afford for this to happen again since my warranty will be over soon.
