Consumer Description

WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, THE 2008 DODGE CALIBER LOSS POWER AND BEGAN TO DECREASE SPEED. I STEPPED ON THE ACCELERATOR BUT THE CAR DID NOT RESPOND. I EXITED THE FREEWAY, AND AFTER I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT, I ATTEMPTED TO ACCELERATE, BUT AGAIN, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND. WHEN IT DID, IT JERKED REPEATEDLY UNTIL IT WAS ABLE TO ACCELERATE. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR LOSS POWER AGAIN. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ON FOR A FEW MONTHS PRIOR, A KNOCKING NOISE WOULD COME FROM THE ENGINE, AND A MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. LASTLY, WHEN IT RAINS, THE BACK SEAT PASSENGER SIDE AND FLOOR WAS INUNDATED WITH WATER. *TR
