NHTSA Complaint #10392138 — 2007 DODGE CALIBER AWD

AT APPROXIMATELY 23,700 MILES, MY 2007 DODGE CALIBER RT HAD TO HAVE BOTH FRONT BALL JOINTS REPLACED (CHRYSLER REIMBURSED FOR THE RUINED FRONT TIRES THAT HAD BEEN PUT ON 9 MONTHS BEFORE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM). WITHIN A FEW WEEKS AFTER THE BALL JOINTS WERE REPLACED, I STARTED HEARING A NOISE LIKE SOMETHING LOSE IN THE FRONT DRIVER'S SIDE TIRE AREA. UPON HAVING MY ANNUAL INSPECTION AT THE BEGINNING OF MARCH, MY MECHANIC TOLD ME I HAVE A BUSTED DRIVERS' SIDE STRUT. THERE IS ONLY A LITTLE OVER 25,000 MILES ON THIS CAR AND THIS IS TWO MAJOR PROBLEMS WITH THE SUSPENSION IN LESS THAN 6 MONTHS! I KEEP READING OF SIMILAR PROBLEMS AND AM WONDERING IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT DODGE/CHRSYLER IS GOING TO FIX VIA RECALL (OF COURSE, THE STRUTS STARTED MAKING THE NOISE WITHIN WEEKS OF COMING OUT OF MY BASIC 3 YR/36,000 MILE COVERAGE - I AM NOW INTO EXTENDED COVERAGE WITH A DEDUCTIBLE). *TR
