Upon driving home from work in february of 2015, I noticed a horrible nose coming from the front of my car. As the days progressed, the nose had become worse. I had assumed there was a problem with the struts and had them replaced right away. My father in law, a mechanic, saw that the front sub frame cross member is completely rusted out. I was then told by several mechanics that the car is unsafe to drive due to the amount rust on the sub frame and the high risk of the cross member breaking thus causing an accident. After much research, it has come to my knowledge that this is a manufacturers problem and nothing has ever been done about it. The A/C unit is located right above the cross member. This unit is leaking water onto the sub frame thus causing the part to rust.

My 2007 dodge caliber has a water leak that allows rain water to enter the vehicle. The used car dealer I bought it from (had it less than 1 year) said it was a gasket leak in the front fender. I don't know if this is right or not because the car's entire driver side floor board has yet to dry out. Vehicle constantly acts as though it is going to stall. This has happened in idle in traffic and when pushing on gas from stop. Sometimes the low pressure sensor oil light will flicker on and the car will start to jerk. Sometimes the vehicle just hesitates for a long time when switching gears. Dealer unable to duplicate this problem. Newest issue - when traveling at approx. 55 MPH on the highway, all doors mysteriously unlocked themselves. Very frustrating and inconvenient... Dealer does not offer rental or temporary car even though they have my brand new caliber that im paying for even while its in their possession. The dealer could not duplicate stalling/oil light issue and I took it to an independent mechanic had an oil change done and still did it. Took it back and he couldn't find anything either. Computer not reporting anything and no recalls.

2007 dodge caliber sxt leaks water into the front and rear floor boards on the passenger side whenever it rains. This seems to be a common problem with these vehicles and my dealer will not or cannot fix it.

The vehicle was repaired and daimler chrysler stated that they would send a representative to north carolina.

My 2007 dodge caliber has a water leak that allows rain water to enter the vehicle and the january 8th appointment will be the 4th time at the dealership for this same issue. Water seems to be entering somewhere in the front of the vehicle and settles under the passenger seat. While "repairing the leak" the first time, the vehicle was returned to me smelling like cigarette smoke, the second time, the trim above the passenger side door was not properly replaced, the third time, a panel underneath the dash on the passenger side fell off (apparently was not replaced properly), they glued the rubber stripping on the passenger side door panel making it impossible to remove my satellite radio antenna and the trim above the passenger side door is still not in place correctly (seems to have been forced into place). Also, the person working on my vehicle said he guaranteed that it was fixed after the 3rd time, but it wasn't. Vehicle constantly acts as though it is going to stall when idle and also when accelerating from a stop - when accelerating, vehicle hesitates. Dealer unable to duplicate this problem. Newest issue - when traveling at approx. 55 MPH on the highway, all doors mysteriously unlocked themselves. Very frustrating and inconvenient... Dealer does not offer rental or temporary car even though they have my brand new caliber that I'm paying for even while it's in their possession. This is the second dodge vehicle in a row that we've had problems with - 1st was a 2004 dodge ram 1500 with stalling issues that the dealer could not duplicate.
