Consumer Description

FRONT SUBFRAME IS RUSTED SO BADLY THE BOLTS ARE BARELY ATTACHED TO THE STEERING COLUMN, SO CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MILEAGE: 126,000. DODGE CUSTOMER SERVICE CLAIMS THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY THROUGH 2016 TO FIX THIS, BUT I DID NOT RECEIVE NOTICE AS I HAD BOUGHT IT USED IN 2014 FROM A NON-DODGE DEALERSHIP. INDEPENDENT MECHANIC IS QUOTING $1200 TO REPAIR, INCLUDING $700 FOR THE SUBFRAME ITSELF FROM CHRYSLER. THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE FROM MANY OTHER DODGE CALIBER OWNERS, SO THERE SHOULD BE A SAFETY RECALL.
