Consumer Description

WHEN I WAS DRIVING IN TOWN AT SPEEDS AROUND 25-40 MPH I KEPT HEARING A CLICKING NOISE BENEATH THE DRIVERS SEAT, ESPECIALLY WHEN I MADE TURNS. I TOOK IT TO A SHOP AND THEY LIFTED IT UP. TURNS OUT THE ENTIRE SUSPENSION CARRIAGE WAS RUSTING AND ROTTING. THE CLICKING NOISE I WAS HEARING WAS RUSTY PIECES OF METAL RUBBING AGAINST ONE ANOTHER. WE TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THAT THE AC CONDENSATE LINE WAS DIRECTED TO THE SUBFRAME/UNDERCARRIAGE OF THE CALIBER. THE WATER WAS POOLING AND CAUSING IT TO RUST. I'M GRATEFUL WE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WHEN WE DID INSTEAD OF HAVING THE WHOLE BOTTOM OF THE CAR FALL OUT FROM UNDER US WHEN WE WERE GOING AT A HIGH SPEED. THIS SEEMS TO BE HAPPENING TO MANY OF THE DODGE CALIBERS RIGHT AROUND 7 YEARS. WE HAVE PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE. UNBELIEVABLE. *TR
