Consumer Description

MY 2007 DODGE CALIBER STALLS OUT WHILE I'M DRIVING. IT HAS 50,000 MILES ON THE SPEEDOMETER AND I PURCHASED IT USED LAST SEPT 2009. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED ABOUT 5 TIMES BEFORE I DECIDED TO TAKE IT TO A LOCAL MECHANIC TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC TEST RUN. THE DASHBOARD WARNING SIGNAL WOULD COME ON SIGNIFYING "ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL". THIS ISSUE HAS COME UP IN DIFFERENT DRIVING CONDITIONS BUT USUALLY IN THE FIRST 15MINS OF DRIVING. USUALLY I AM AT A STOP AND THEN WHEN I ATTEMPT TO ACCELERATE , THE CAR DIES. IT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP BUT, BECAUSE I LOSE POWER, I'M FORCED TO PULL OVER IN TRAFFIC UNEXPECTEDLY. THIS IS A DEFINITE SAFETY CONCERN FOR ME. THE VEHICLE WILL BE AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TOMORROW SO THAT THEIR MECHANICS CAN LOOK IT OVER. I HAVE BEEN IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER AT 800-853-1403 AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS ISSUE HAS NOT BEEN REPORTED AS A PROBLEM/TREND. *TR
