2007 DODGE CALIBER AWD — Problems, Recalls & Safety Data

WHEN CAR IS FILLED UP TO FULL IT WILL SMELL LIKE RAW FUEL IN THE CAR AND IT WILL STALL NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD.

THIS IS THE 2ND COMPLAINT I FILLED WITH CHRYSLER CORP. THRU NHTSA CONCERNING THIS ISSUE, 1ST COMPLAINT WAS #11186050 CONCERNING THE REAR CROSS MEMBERS/REAR AXLE CRADLE ROTTING OUT (CHRYSLER ACTION 23-012-14 THIS ACTION EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS). I FOUND OUT ABOUT THIS ACTION THRU TALKING WITH A FRIEND WHO WENT THRU THIS SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER CORP. CONTACTED ME TO STATE "THAT ALL OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED !" THIS CAR WAS BOUGHT NEW IN 2007 AT BERGER MOTORS IN HAZELTON, PA. NEITHER BERGER MOTORS OR CHRYSLER CONTACTED US ON THIS ISSUE, SO HOW CAN CHRYSLER CORP MAKE THIS STATEMENT THAT ALL OWNERS WERE NOTIFIED !!! THIS CAR HAS LESS THAN 75,000 ORIGINAL MILES ON IT !

WHILE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE I HEARD A NOISE FROM THE REAR OF VEHICLE, I TOOK THE CAR TO A GARAGE, THE MECHANIC CHECKED IT THEN CALLED ME ' NOT TO DRIVE IT ' THAT THE REAR AXLE/SUSPENSION CRADLE WAS ROTTED OUT. I CONTACTED A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME THAT CHRYSLER CORPORATION EXTENDED THE WARRANTY DUE TO THIS ISSUE FOR 10 YEARS WHICH ENDED IN 2017. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ONLY TO FIND OUT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE RECALLS, I ASKED HOW CAN THAT BE SINCE MY VEHICLE HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AND I ASKED WHY WASN'T THE OWNERS OF THESE CARS NOTIFIED TO GET THEM CHECKED (NO ANSWER), I TOLD THIS WOMAN THAT THEY KNEW OF THIS PROBLEM (USING SUBSTANDARD STEEL) AND I KNOW THAT SOMEONE WILL BE HURT OR KILLED DUE DUE TO THEIR NEGLIGENCE.

STUCK IN LIMP MODE

REAR CROSSMEMBER SUBFRAME RUSTED AND BROKEN CAUSING DRIVESHAFT AND THE REAR DIFFERENTIAL TO SHIFT DURING ACCELERATION. NOTICED A THUMBING SOUND WHEN DRIVING ON LOCAL CITY STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH ON DEC. 12, 2018.
