Consumer Description

THE CAR WOULD NOT STEER WITH ANY CONTROLLABILITY. UPON 2 DIFFERENT INDEPENDENT MECHANIC INSPECTIONS WE DISCOVERED THE LOWER BALL JOINT WAS SO WORN/LOOSE IF I HAD CONTINUED TO DRIVE I COULD EASILY HAVE LOST A TIRE. THE ENTIRE UNDERFRAME IS CORRODED AND I WAS TOLD IT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED SOON OR IT WOULD ALSO BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD IN THE NEAR FUTURE. DODGE HAS TO BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BECAUSE AFTER CONDUCTING SOME RESEARCH ON MY OWN I HAVE FOUND HUNDREDS OF 2007 CALIBER OWNERS WITH ALMOST IDENTICAL ISSUES TO MINE. HOPING NO ONE GETS HURT BEFORE THEY REALIZE WHAT A SERIOUS RISK THIS TYPE OF LOW QUALITY MANUFACTURING IS... *TR
