NHTSA Complaint #11202617 — 2007 DODGE CALIBER

WHILE DRIVING CAR, IN MY EXTREMELY BUSY CITY, A CLUNKING SOUND STARTED TO OCCUR FROM UNDERNEATH. THE CAR BEGAN TO FEEL UNSTABLE TO DRIVE AND IS ESPECIALLY BAD WHEN TURNING CORNERS OR HITTING A BUMP. AFTER TAKING IT TO GET A POWER STEERING LINE LEAK REPAIRED, THE MECHANICS INFORMED ME THAT THE K FRAMES OR SUB FRAMES WERE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND WOULD NEED REPLACED. I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED IN HOPES OF GIVING IT TO MY TEENAGE DAUGHTER WHEN SHE GETS HER DRIVER'S LICENCE NEXT MONTH. AFTER LOOKING FOR RECALLS, I SEE THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ENDED JUST LAST YEAR. I NEED TO GET BACK AND FORTH TO WORK AND I CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR. AT ONLY 119,000 MILES THIS SHOULD BE ON THE RECALL LIST. THIS APPEARS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE AMONG DODGE CALIBERS AND IS VERY UNSAFE!
