Consumer Description

CAR STARTED MAKING LOUD GRINDING NOISE UNDER HOOD WHILE ACCELERATING DURING REGULAR DRIVING. HAD INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DIAGNOSE NOISE. WAS ADVISED GEAR INSIDE TRANSMISSION 'BROKEN' TRANSMISSION WILL HAVE TO BE REPLACED, CANNOT BE FIXED. CALIBER HAS CVT TRANSMISSION WHICH HAD WIDESPREAD/KNOWN ISSUES. THE TRANSMISSION SHOULD AT LEAST LAST THE LIFE OF A CAR LOAN WHEN THE CAR US PURCHASED FAIRLY NEW. DODGE REFUSES TO TAKE OWNERSHIP OF PROBLEM ALTHOUGH IT IS DOCUMENTED ALL OVER INTERNET INCLUDING YOUTUBE . IF OTHER MANUFACTURERS ARE ASSISTING IN REPAIRING/REPLACING THESE TRANSMISSIONS, WHY CAN'T DODGE. I AM ALSO INTERESTED TO KNOW OF ANY CLASS ACTION SUITS TO JOIN BASED ON OTHER KNOWN ISSUES, SOME I HAVE FIXED, SOME I HOPE I CAN GET RID OF THE CAR BEFORE I ENCOUNTER. DODGE MARKETED THIS CAR KNOWING OF THE FAULTY ISSUES...ISN'T THAT CRIMINAL? *TR
