The hinges fail on driver and passengers side the door will not shut gets stuck wide open if force shut cause you have no tools to pry bottom hinge back in place it causes a huge dent in front fender... There are a huge amount of owners complaining of this issue online so I think it's a big flaw! I have since replaced mine with used one's and do expect to have to do it again due to the design of the hinges... If this happens to your door it will not close completely if you manage to get it to closing point because the door latch will no longer line up properly... Safety issues my door opened on me going down the road on my way home with it going around a corner...thank god I had my seat belt on...

My 2007 caliber has leaking problems, it has been in the shop twice and still not fixed, also I just brought it in for a grinding noise, at 16,000 miles. The dealer 1st told me nothing is wrong come and get it, I did not get it I told them to keep it and drive it 1st thing in the morn. They did and heard the loud vibrating noise. They called me and told me it needed swaybar bushings and a new transmission. This caliber is junk. With each supposed repair for leaking they had my car for 2 weeks total. Also this time with the transmission it has be 3 days. I have to pay for a rental car each time. The power door locks make a weird loud noise at times when unlocking the doors. I do not feel safe with my 4 kids in the car with me. I need a safe vehicle.

Sincere concern over the door lock function. When the unlock button is pressed, the buttons pop up at a very fast speed and protrude upward. Concern: when passengers are resting their heads against the doors, and the unlock is pressed, the passengers are vulnerable to having their eye extensively damaged. No incident happened other than passenger's arm was injured by same action/lock.

Front passenger door lock will not stay locked. The locks flip up and down and the door sometimes opens by itself...been to dealer 5 times.....they replaced mechanisms twice. Once they never looked at it after having it all day and once they claimed nothing wrong with it...bought dodge caliber end june and had prob. Immediately; can lock doors and return to car and driver lock is open or door popped ajar.
