Car squeaks and clunks. Rear suspension components are extremely rusted. Feels like car is fish tailing while driving. Was driving from work and lost all control of the car. Speed was about 25mph.

So , the car I purchased on aug.2nd, of this year... Has many issues! First of all about 2 weeks into having the vehicle... I needed exhaust work done... Shortly after that.. I began experiencing some pulling to the right when I touched the break pedal, now I'm experiencing some weird situation under the front of the car. Which in fact is causing the car to shake and now when I tap the break to stop the vehicle theirs a loud noise and when I give it gas.. It shreeks! It's very terrifying to say the least... I was unable to drive it back to my residence... I'm unable to drive this vehicle at all

I I have changed multiple times the sway bar links and had to put on new struts twice. There was supposed to be a recall on the cross member bar and when I took it to be fixed the dealer would not honor the recall on the bar. It is now making once again a popping sound in the front drivers side and I am wanting to once again get the recall on the car that was supposed to be fixed before.

Have a 2007 dodge caliber with 90k miles. My wife recently went to get it inspected and come to find out the front and rear crossmembers and subframe components were terribly corroded. Needless to say it was not passed. It's started shaking while driving, alignment is off according to tire wear. I've read tons of complaints and see they issues not a recall but a 10 year extended warranty on this issue. Curious as to when this was issued and if my car falls into that
