Consumer Description

A NOISE WAS HEARD THAT SEEMED TO COME FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION WHILE DRIVING. INSPECTION LATER SHOWED THAT THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER WAS BADLY RUSTED AND HAS HOLES IN IT. BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR CROSSMEMBERS ON THIS VEHICLE ARE BADLY RUSTED. THE REST OF THE CAR IS RUST FREE. THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS CAR. THE 2007 DODGE CALIBER HAS A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REPLACE THESE PARTS IF THEY HAVE HOLES IN THEM UNDER WARRANTY, HOWEVER I WAS TOLD THIS DOES NOT APPLY TO THE 2008 MODEL YEAR. THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WERE CONTACTED AND WOULD NOT HELP. IF THIS ISSUE IS NOT FOUND AND REPAIRED IT COULD RESULT IN A CRASH. *JS
