Consumer Description

ON NOV. 22, 2016 I WAS DRIVING TO WORK AT 6:00 AM. MY CALIBER STARTED MAKING A HISSING NOISE, AFTER ABOUT 2 MINUTES OF THIS THE ENGINE SHUT OFF AND I LOST ALL ELECTRIC POWER. THE CAR WAS TOWED TO THE SHOP AND THE STARTER WAS REPLACED. 2 WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED. THIS TIME NOTHING WAS REPLACED, DUE TO THE CAR STARTING AT THE GARAGE. AGAIN ON DEC. 20 THE SAME THING WITH THE EXCEPTION OF I WAS ON MY WAY HOME. THE STARTED WAS AGAIN REPLACED. THIS RECURRED ON JAN 9, 2017. THE STARTED WAS REPLACED AGAIN. IT HAPPENED AGAIN ON JAN. 20, AGAIN THE STARTER HAS BEEN REPLACED. ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC, THEY CANNOT FIND ANYTHING ELSE WRONG. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. LUCKILY I HAVEN'T BEEN DRIVING AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED, BUT IF THIS WOULD OCCUR AT 65 OR 70 MPH IT COULD CAUSE SERIOUS PROBLEMS. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ON-LINE, I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. *TR
