Consumer Description

CAR WON'T RUN FOR MORE THAN AN HOUR WITHOUT OVERHEATING TRANSMISSION OIL (TRANSMISSION LIGHT WENT ON). I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED A LACK OF SPEED. PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR DIDN'T HELP. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER SLOWLY, BUT SAFELY. THE CAR WENT TO A COMPLETE STOP. WAITED OVER AN HOUR FOR THE TOW TRUCK TO ARRIVE. LATER I DISCOVERED THAT YOU HAVE TO WAIT ABOUT HALF AN HOUR, AND THE CAR STARTS NORMAL. WORST CAR I EVER BOUGHT. APPARENTLY NOT ALL DODGE CALIBER VEHICLES SHARE THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT I CHECKED ON THE WEB AND IT IS A CONSISTENT PROBLEM WITH OTHER MODELS THAT SHARE THE SAME TRANSMISSION.
