Consumer Description
WHILE HAVING CAR INSPECTED FOR FRONT END NOISE THE MECHANIC FOUND A LARGE HOLE IN THE FRONT SUB-FRAME AND THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. HE TOLD US THAT HE BELIEVED THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE SUB-FRAME SO WE DECIDE WE WOULD USE THE RECALL TO REPLACE IT AND JUST PAY FOR THE REPAIRS ON THE SUSPENSION. FOUND OUT THAT ONLY THE 2007 CALIBERS HAVE THE SUB-FRAME/CROSSMEMBER RECALLED! IT SEEMS THAT THE SAME PART WAS USED IN BOTH YEARS AND THE 2008'S SHOULD BE RECALLED AS WELL. DODGE NEEDS TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS BEFORE SOMEONE IS SERIOUSLY HURT AND THEY BECOME LIABLE.
