Consumer Description

MY CAR STARTED MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT END. THE NOISE HAPPENED WHEN TURNING LEFT AND RIGHT, THEN HAPPENED JUST DRIVING THE CAR AT ALL. MECHANIC SHOWED ME THAT THE SUBFRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH PREMATURELY. VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE! MILEAGE IS 114,000. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THE RECALL THEY HAD OUT FOR 2005-2007 CALIBERS ON THE SAME PART WOULD COVER MINE. THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR 10 MORE YEARS ON THOSE YEAR CARS.THEY REFUSED TO ADD THE 2008 MODELS EVEN THOUGH THERE ARE PLENTY OF COMPLAINTS.THIS IS GOING TO COST ME CLOSE TO $1600.00 AND A WEEK IN THE REPAIR SHOP.
