After sunday service, I was leaving out of the church's parking garage, when the speed on my 2007 dodge caliber unexpectedly accelerated to a speed beyond my ability to control it before hitting, head on, a pillar inside the garage. This resulted in extensive front damage to radiator, hood,. Fender, grill, fan assembly, A/C lines, manifold, throttle, battery, air condenser, u&l reinforcements, & hood latch damage. The car is still at a mechanics garage awaiting costly repairs. Old parts are still available. Thank god I was not physically injured, just shattered nerves and major inconveniences.

The gas pedal messes up it can be at a slight hill or accelerating at a green light. I push the gas pedal down all the way to the floor board only getting slight movement; then the car just accelerates. Other times it acts normal. I took it into a repair shop they said my car was not part of the recall so I paid $504 they said it fine and fixed. The same day of getting my car back it does the same thing so I called chrysler 800#. They to said my 2007 was not part of the recall and to take it back the repair shop and they would reimburse if recall was extended to other 2007 models. There is an issue with acceleration of these gas pedals. I'm 9 mths pregnant and do not have the confidence that my car will move like it is suppose to when pulling out into traffic.
Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge caliber. The contact stated that while driving, the vehicle stalled and would not restart. The vehicle was towed to the contact's home. The contact's spouse (a mechanic) took the rear seat out and discovered that the wires to the fuel pump were burned out which caused them to melt and to affect the fuel pump. The failure occurred twice and the contact had to purchase a new fuel pump within a span of a year. The vehicle had not been taken to an authorized dealership and the contact had not spoken with the manufacturer at the time of the complaint. The failure mileage was approximately 62,000. The current mileage was approximately 77,000. Updated 10/27/10.
On my dodge caliber, every time that I put gas in the car and fill it up the gas will back flush out of the gas tank when the gas pump nozzle turns off. This causes gas spills on my car and on the ground at the gas station. I brought this to the attention of the dealership and they told me to not fill up my gas tank all of the way and that they have this same situation happening on many of their vehicles.
