NHTSA Complaint #10816973 — 2007 DODGE CALIBER AWD

I PURCHASED A 2007 DODGE CALIBER ON NOVEMBER 15, 2015 AND HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE ACCELERATION AND THE CAR HESITATING AS IF IT WERE A MANUAL SHIFT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER WHO ASKED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN. I TOOK THE CAR IN THE THE SERVICE ALLEGED THAT THEY LOOKED AT THE CAR AND SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH IT AND THAT WAS HOW THE CAR ACCELERATED BECAUSE OF THE KIND OF TRANSMISSION THAT THIS CAR HAS. THE CAR CONTINUED TO HAVE THIS JERKING, HESITATING PROBLEM UNTIL FINALLY THE "THROTTLE BODY" LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN AND I WAS NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE ABOVE 25 AND HAD TO EXIT THE HIGHWAY BECAUSE I DID NOT WANT TO GET KILLED BECAUSE OF ALL THE KINDS OF TRUCKS AND OTHER ON THE HIGHWAY AS WELL. I AM NOW WITHOUT A WORKING VEHICLE BECAUSE OF THE THROTTLE BODY AND HAVE TO FIND A WAY AND SPEND MORE MONEY TO GET IT REPAIRED. I PAID $8000 CASH TO THIS DEALER AND I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED AND STRESSED. PLEASE HELP. *JS
