NHTSA Complaint #10910178 — 2007 DODGE CALIBER

AT LESS THAN 10 MILES PER HOUR THE REAR SUSPENSION FAILED WHILE TURNING ON TO A PUBLIC HIGHWAY. THE DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL ON THE BACK IS READY TO FALL OFF IT IS LAYING AGAINST THE COIL SPRING. THE CAR IS NO LONGER DRIVABLE. THIS IS ALL WITHIN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE FUEL TANK ALSO AND IN MY OPINION COULD BE A PUNCTURE RISK ALSO. THE CAR HAS 106779 MILES ON IT ,ONE OWNER WITH NO COLLISION REPAIRS EVER PERFORMED AND NO UNDERCARRIAGE DAMAGE EVER. CHRYSLER IS PERFORMING REPAIRS ON SELECT VEHICLES WITH THE SAME PROBLEM BUT REFUSE TO REPAIR THIS ONE. HAD THIS FAILURE OCCURRED AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT IS POSSIBLE THE RESULTS COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THIS VEHICLE IS LESS THAN 9 YEARS OLD AND HAS SEEN VERY LITTLE WINTER WEATHER AND HAS NEVER BEEN IN A SALT AIR ENVIRONMENT. I SEE NO DIFFERENCE IN THIS PROBLEM AND THE ONE ASSOCIATED WITH TOYOTAS TRUCK FRAMES OF SEVERAL YEARS AGO. PLEASE HELP BEFORE SOMEONE DIES FROM THIS PROBLEM.
