NHTSA Complaint #10927485 — 2008 DODGE CALIBER

I TOOK MY 2008 DODGE CALIBER IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. I WAS INFORMED BY THE TECH THAT THE FRONT CROSS MEMBER WAS RUSTING AWAY AND NEEDED IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. THIS VEHICLE HAS A LITTLE UNDER 61,000 MILES. THIS APPEARS TO BE THE SAME ISSUE COVERED UNDER THE SERVICE BULLETIN #23-012-14/X58 EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT DOESN'T INCLUDE MY 2008. I'VE OWNED MANY DODGES OVER MY LIFETIME, INCLUDING MY FIRST CAR, AS WELL AS THREE CURRENT VEHICLES. IT'S VERY DISAPPOINTING THAT DODGE ISN'T TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY AND COVERING THE 2008'S OR ANY OTHER MODEL YEAR EFFECTED. THE REPAIRS COST ME $1145.43 OUT OF POCKET. I'VE READ ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND IT SOUNDS LIKE CALLING DODGE TO COMPLAIN GETS YOU NO WHERE. HAS ANYONE BEEN ABLE TO GET RESTITUTION AT ALL? IF SO, HOW? I HAVE MY REPAIR INVOICES AND PHOTOS TO BACK THIS UP. MY HOPE IS THAT DODGE WILL DECIDE TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS IN THE NEAR FUTURE, BUT I WON'T HOLD MY BREATH.
