I have my tires rotated on my car everytime I get my oil changed. Recently, after an il change my tires started acting funny. I took it back in and the dealer told me my tires were bad. I take good care of my tires and have them balanced and rotated on a regular basis. They told me my tires are all coupling. I have less than 30, 000 miles and I do not believe I should be having to get new tires.

Tl*the contact owns a 2007 dodge caliber. The vehicle has firestone tires, size p215/55/r18, and dot number vn0af31. While driving approximately 25 MPH, the contact heard a noise coming from the tires. At 4,000 miles, the dealer and manufacturer were notified of the noise and advised him to call the tire manufacturer. The tire manufacturer was unable to assist unless they received a replacement order from the dealer. The dealer, who is no longer in business, refused to assist. The contact purchased four new tires in january of 2007; however, at 10,000 miles, the noise recurred and tread separation was visible on all 12 tires. The dealer was notified and inspected the alignment on the vehicle, but the noise continued. The dealer also stated that if the contact signed an agreement to release them from the matter, they would replace all four tires. The tires were replaced at no cost to the owner and the failure recurred at 8,000 miles. After receiving another diagnosis from a tire mechanic, the contact was informed that the camber suspension in the wheel area was inaccurate. They further stated that no adjustment could be made unless the frame was adjusted. The contact would have to pay $300 to make the adjustment; however, there was no guarantee that it would correct the failure. The manufacturer stated that they would not reimburse or assume any liability for the repair costs. The vehicle has not been repaired. The contact has twelve tires that have failed. The initial failure mileage was 6,000 and current mileage was 54,000.
We've had this '07 dodge caliber since 9 of '07 and have had several problems to occur at about 2 months after purchase. The car stalls at low speed, we've had brake problems which when we first took it in to our dealer was told nothing was wrong with the brakes. Upon several visits about noise coming from the front tires and while pressing the brakes they would putter after about 40mph, was told the wheel bearings needed to be replaced. Since then we would still experience the noise till it got so bad, chrysler finally said - your rotors need changing. Since we were over 20,000 miles we weren't covered by warranty. Was told this was normal wear and tear. I could understand if these problems had just started, but they didn't. Chrysler has said they cannot assist me with a refund nor would the senior staff agent give me his bosses name to complain further. I am very dissatisfied with chrysler. My mom is about 80 years old and purchased this car believing that the company was reliable and would stand behind any problems. We would like our money back or trade this vehicle in for a comparable amount.
Same problem with the tires on my 2007 dodge caliber se as everyone else...vibration and noise at road speeds. Have taken to the dealer, verified that it is occurring on every se model w/ 15 inch dunlop tires.
About 3 weeks ago, my dodge caliber started to make an odd noise from the suspension and wheels. I took it in to the dealership and they said that there is nothing wrong with my car. After that, I did a google search and found out that there are a ton of people who are having the same issue that I am.
I was driving a rental car dodge caliber 2007 on sept. 28th 2007 when I heard a loud bang and the car suddenly crashed into a stationary SUV that was parked on the street. The cops came and no ticket was issued. I went online to find out if this car was involved in a recall because when I was driving the car I noticed it had an alignment problem. And also the guy that rented the car at enterprise told me to call him first if anything happened so based on that I decided to do a little investigation and I found out that 50,000 units of this vehicle was involved in a recall due to a sudden crash that could occur from wheel alignment. I contacted the manufacture which is chrysler to report the incident and they said they were going to investigate they are claiming that this vehicle is not was not in a recall but I will appreciate further investigation as I suspect foul play.
My son was driving about 15 MPH and hit a small hole in the road and the right front tire side wall blew out. This is the second time this year. The first was with me driving the car and all I did was go off the side of the road and come back on and the side of the road wasn't that bad this was with the left front tire. Today there was a van in front and had no problem after driving through the hole. The tires are firestone affinity touring t4 p215/60r17 95t m&s. I don't know how many may have been reported, but this happen to us and after two time and on the front with the original tires, the first ties had about 2,000 miles on it and this one has 5,565 on it. I think that you need to take a look at this tire. Thanks, tom
I purchased a 2007 dodge caliber se from jim cogdill dodge in knoxville tennessee on august 23rd, 2006. This vehicle has a vibration at 60-75 MPH. I have had the car in the shop on three separate occasions and the service manager has told me he believes that it is the tires; however they are telling me that I would have to purchase new tires for this vehicle to fix the problem. I first reported this to the dealer on august 29th, and it was told to me that the tires were out of balance. After their attempt to balance them I then drove the vehicle and it still had a vibration. They then told me that they would order me a new tire (because they believed that one of them was bad). When the tire arrived I brought the vehicle back and they replaced the tire. This did not fix the problem so they started taking tires and rims off of other 2007 dodge caliber se that they had on the lot. This did not fix the problem either. On friday, september 1st I left the car with gary sergeant (the service manager at jim cogdill dodge) and he later called and told me that they were unable to fix the car because there was not an issue with it. He stated, "this is a characteristic of this particular vehicle and the only thing that I could do was to upgrade to another model." he stated he drove three other dodge caliber se's and they all did the same thing. When I went back to the dealership they had me drive another se model and he was correct when he said they do the same thing. I then drove a sxt model and it did not. The only difference between them was the tires and rims (as far as drivablity is concerned). I ask him about upgrading tires and rims and they told me I would not be able to, I ask about upgrading to sxt model and they said I would have to eat the loss because my car is now considered used. The fact that the se model of caliber are all have this so called characteristic does not make it a legitimate reason for them not to fix the car.
