NHTSA Complaint #11145149 — 2010 DODGE CALIBER

ELECTRICAL THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT HAS POPPED UP SEVERAL TIMES AND I'VE NOTICED IT'S WHEN IT HAS RAINED. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE CAR SLOWS DOWN AND CAUSES FORCEFULLY PULL OVER AND SHUT THE CAR OFF. IT DOESN'T START AFTER THE FIRST FEW TRIES AND EVENTUALLY DOES. THE CAR BEGAN TO OVERHEAT AFTER DRIVING IT OVER 60MPH FOR ABOUT 20MINS. THE CAR HAS GIVEN ME THE ENGINE COOLANT TEMPERATURE WARNING SYMBOL WHEN THIS HAPPENS, MAKING AN UGLY ALMOST SCREECHING SOUND,SLOWS DOWN THE CAR UNTIL I CAN'T PUSH THE GAS ANY LONGER CAUSING ME TO PULL OVER TO TURN OFF THE CAR UNTIL IT RESTARTS AGAIN. THE CAR IS BEGINNING TO OVER HEAT AFTER DRIVING IT FOR A LONG PERIOD OF TIME OVER 20 MINS THIS WILL BEGAN TO HAPPEN. I'VE PUT COOLANT RECENTLY AND NOT SURE IF THERE'S A HOLE IN THE RESERVOIR BUT I'VE DONE WHAT I COULD TO GET THIS FIXED. THE CAR JOLTS AFTER 3RD GEAR ESPECIALLY GOING UP HILL.
