NHTSA Complaint #10202973 — 2007 DODGE CALIBER

2007 DODGE CALIBER HAVE HAD THIS CAR SINCE JUNE 2006. IN THE 14 MONTHS I HAVE HAD IT ON AVERAGE IT SEEMS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH I HAVE TO TAKE TIME OUT OF MY SCHEDULE/WORK TO GO TO THE DEALERSHIP DROP IT OFF AND EXPLAIN THE SAME REPEAT PROBLEMS. THIS NOT ONLY TAKES TIME BUT I ALSO HAVE TO MAKE OTHER ARRANGEMENTS FOR TRANSPORTAION. THE CAR HAS HAD A GRINDING TYPE NOISE UPON IGNITION SINCE I BOUGHT IT ALONG WITH THE ENGINE CONSTANTLY WANTING TO STALL UPON SLOW DOWN OR COMPLETE STOPS AND THEN TRYING TO ACCELORATE AGAIN. THIS HAS CAUSED ME TO NEARLY BE REARENDED AND OR HIT NUMEROUS TIMES. EACH TIME I HAVE HAD IT IN THE SERVICE CENTER I AM TOLD THE GRINDING NOISE CAN NOT BE DETECTED. I PICK THE CAR UP AND NO SOONER THAN I GET HOME AND LEAVE AGAIN IT HAPPENS. AS FOR THE STALLING I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE POWER CONTROLL MODULE AND IT WAS REPLACED AND THEY CONSIDERED IT REPAIRED. THIS WAS IN JANUARY, IT IS SEPTEMBER AND STILL THIS IS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE OFTEN. I HAVE HAD IT BACK NUMEROUS TIMES. THERE ARE MANY OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE THAT THE SERVICE CENTER HAS TOLD ME WAS'NT A PROBLEM OR THEY HAVE CORRECTED AND IT CONTINUES. *TR
