The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact stated while pulling into a parking space, there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear of the vehicle. The contact stated that upon inspecting the vehicle, he noticed that the subframe was severely rusted and there was a piece of metal hanging down in the rear of the vehicle. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle and determined that the subframe needed to be replaced. The mechanic informed the contact that the vehicle was undrivable. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer was not notified of the failure. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 175,000. The VIN was not available.

Premature rust on rear subframe

Rusted Subframe!!

Rear suspension rusted and broke during operation; control arm, tie rod and/or wheel bearings rusted and broke during operation causing vehicle to lose control

I had my 2007 Dodge Caliber rear brakes replaced today, at 83,487 miles. The service professional noted on the receipt that the “rear subframe is rotting out.” He suggested that I contact Dodge, to find out if there has been a recall regarding this issue. Please advise as to how this problem may be resolved, with no additional, out-of-pocket cost to me, the consumer. Thank you.

Car has been garage kept entire time of owning. Sub Frame still rotted out causing so much damage to the car, the struts, the tire(s); etc, causing car to shake and tire to bow out. Car has been at a repair shop for over 7 months now trying to get a replacement part to repair it with no luck as of yet. This should NOT be the responsibility of the customer. This has been a known issue for many of these vehicles for years now with nothings done or any warnings sent out regarding this issue being a possible hazard.

Started hearing a loud banging noise whenever i would hit a bump or turn left coming from drivers side tire. after getting home, i checked and the entire subframe is rusted out.

Vehicle has less than 100,000 miles (strictly highway miles) and rear sub frame has completely rusted through causing back alignment to be drastically out, and fish tailing, which also causes hazardous steering control on dry and especially wet roads. Rapid wear and replacement of tires on rear end. I have researched and found this to be a consistent problem on multiple sites and forums.

Rear subframe is badly rusted making the vehicle unsafe to drive. Don’t know how long it been like this, just noticed it while doing brake work. I’ve owned the car since 2008 and was never notified of the extended warranty.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact stated while driving at various speeds, the front end of the vehicle emitted abnormal sounds and the vehicle was vibrating. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front passenger's side and the front driver's side tires were wiggly and the front lower ball joints had failed. Additionally, the independent mechanic diagnosed that the front subframe was severely rusted and had a hole. The vehicle was then taken to another independent mechanic who diagnosed that the rear subframe was severely rusted as well. The vehicle was not repaired. The dealer and the manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 133,000.

Bought the car 04/21 had throttle issues the dealer replaced it kept noticing after that i was still having problems with car take it to tire shop entire buttom of car is rusted needs new sub frame sway bar lower arms was very dangerous deiving car want stay straight

Both front and rear subframes have been replaced due to excessive dangerous rust. Also rear trailing arms were replaced due to the same issue. Many other components were replaced as well due to bad bushings. Had to drive the vehicle on the highway to get it home and was lucky to make it. Vehicle did not move after that for almost 2 months until the parts could be replaced. Stalantis received a claim from me in regards to the issues however they were not willing to proceed any further with any actions. These claims need to be looked into because there are quite a few instances that are posted online with videos and or user blogs that are describing similar incidents with Dodge calibers. Someone is going to get hurt from this rust issue. Not everyone is mechanically inclined and it will only take one incident and someone will get...

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was an abnormal sound coming from the rear passenger side. The contact looked in the rearview mirror and saw sparks coming from the rear passenger side. The contact pulled over, and upon inspection, the contact noticed that the rear passenger's side tire was inward and the cross member was corroded. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact related the failure to TSB Number: 23-012-14 Front And Rear Crossmember Corrosion (X58 10 Years Unlimited Mileage). The failure mileage was unavailable.

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact stated that while driving at 30 MPH, the contact stated that the front suspension detached from the vehicle. The contact called the police as he waited for a tow truck to assist because the vehicle was stopped in the middle of traffic. Once the tow truck arrived, the vehicle was towed to the contact's home. Neither the dealer nor the manufacturer was notified of the failure. The vehicle had yet to be repaired. The failure mileage was 160,000.

The issue involves front and rear subframes and trailing arms. Bought a used 2007 Dodge caliber with 127,000 mi on it. Upon further inspection found the front and the rear subframes to be rusted beyond safe operation. After inspecting those found out rear trailing arms are in the exact same condition unsafe for the road. Replaced the front suspension at my cost. Doing the same for the rear. If not done the car is unsafe. High costs involved. No recall was initiated by Chrysler at the time and still has not been done. This is an issue that looks like it has plagued many owners in the United States. if the parts break accidents and injuries can and will occur. Stellantis is ignoring my requests for a reply from the company to address the issues that I am addressing here today.

WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE DOWN THE ROAD 15 MINUTES AFTER BEING REPAIRED THE STEERING GAVE OUT AND THE FRONT LEFT DRIVERS SIDE WHEEL COLLAPSED AND BENT IN. THE CAR WAS TOWED HOME AND WAS NOTICED THE SUBFRAME HAD CRACKED AND RUSTED OUT. IT WAS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER SXT WITH 130,000 MILES ON IT. OWNED IT FOR 6 YEARS AND HAD NOTHING BUT FRONT END PROBLEMS AND THE SUSPENSION. I HAD OVER $5000 WORTH OF REPAIRS SUNK INTO IT WITHIN THOSE 6 YEARS.

I WAS UNABLE TO DRIVE IT BACK TO MY RESIDENCE... I'M UNABLE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AT ALL

I I HAVE CHANGED MULTIPLE TIMES THE SWAY BAR LINKS AND HAD TO PUT ON NEW STRUTS TWICE. THERE WAS SUPPOSED TO BE A RECALL ON THE CROSS MEMBER BAR AND WHEN I TOOK IT TO BE FIXED THE DEALER WOULD NOT HONOR THE RECALL ON THE BAR. IT IS NOW MAKING ONCE AGAIN A POPPING SOUND IN THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE AND I AM WANTING TO ONCE AGAIN GET THE RECALL ON THE CAR THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FIXED BEFORE.

FOR SOME REASON MY GAS CAP KEEPS OPENING ITSELF LIKE THERE IS AIR OR PRESSURE LITERALLY UNSCREWING IT. THE GAS CAP HAPPENS WHEN PARKED

I WASHED MY CAR FOR THE FIRST TIME AND THAT IS WHEN I NOTICED MY CARS FRAME IS RUSTED OUT. THERE IS A BIG HOLE IN THE MIDDLE OF MY FRAME THAT IS NEAR THE MOTOR. I HAVE TO DRIVE IT AND IT SOUNDS LIKE IT'S GOING TO BREAK IN HALF. IT IS WORST WHEN I HIT A BUMP IN THE ROAD, LIKE SPEED BUMPS. MY CAR HAS 106K MILES THE BODY HAS LITTLE TO NO RUST. I'VE OWNED IT ONLY A FEW MONTHS.

TAKATE RECALL. I JUST GT NEW TIRES AND THE FRONT ARMS NEED TO BE REPLACED IS THERE A RECALL ON THEM

MY 2007 DODGE CALIBER'S SUBFRAME IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND THERE'S LESS THEN 80,000 MILES ON THE CAR. A CAR THAT NEW SHOULD NOT RUST SO BAD IN SUCH A SHORT AMOUNT OF TIME. THE WARRANTY ON THE CAR SHOULD BE A RECALL BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME IS SO RUSTED THAT IT'S DANGEROUS AND TOO UNSAFE TO DRIVE ANYWHERE. IN ADDITION TO THE CAR BEING A SAFETY HAZARD, THE SUBFRAME IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX THANKS TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME IT TAKES TO REMOVE THE SUBFRAME. WITH THE SUBFRAME GONE BAD, THE RUSTED OUT SUBFRAME ALSO DAMAGES ATTACHED PARTS OF THE CAR. THE STRUTS IN THE REAR AND FRONT HAVE GONE BAD DUE TO THE SUBFRAME'S EROSION.

HAD CREAKING NOISES FROM FRONT END, AS I WAS INSPECTING NOTICED THE FRONT CROSSMEMBER SEVERELY RUSTED WITH HOLES. DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. ALSO FOUND A CAMPAIGN FROM DODGE STATING THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON BOTH THE REAR AND FRONT SUBFRAMES/CROSS MEMBERS. I HAD ALREADY REPLACED THE REAR. I CONTACTED DODGE AND WAS TOLD THERE ARE NO LONGER ANY CAMPAIGNS OR RECALLS THAT ARE ACTIVE FOR MY CALIBER. I STATED THAT THE FRONT SUB FRAME HAS RUSTED BEYOND ITS LIFE AND MY VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 145K MILES. I ALSO ASKED IF THEY WOULD PROVIDE ASSISTANCE IN ITS REPAIR AS IT IS A MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD. THEY REPLIED WITH, SINCE ALL WARRANTIES ARE EXPIRED AND NO RECALLS ARE IN EFFECT, THEY WOULD NOT HELP OR PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE WITH ANY REPAIRS.

REAR SUB FRAME ROTTED CAUSE VEHICLE TO ALMOST TIP OVER

FAILED STATE INSPECTION DO TO RUSTED FRONT AND REAR SUB FRAME WITH PERFORATION .VEHICLE HAS 138 321 MILES. REFERENCE CHRYSLER ACTION # 23-012-14. RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY

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!

LOWER FRONT SUB FRAME ROTTED OUT CRACKED AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED THAT IT WAS RECALLED IN 2017

VEHICLE FRONT SUB FRAME RUSTED THROUGH WITH HOLES AND EXCESSIVE RUSTED COMPONENTS IN REAR SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. CAUSE. EXCESSIVE CORROSION DUE TO NORMAL EXPOSURE TO ENVIRONMENT AND NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS. MY VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM A RECALL.

I HAVE ALREADY REPLACED ENGINE OIL PAN THAT RUSTED AND WAS LEAKING. TRANSMISSION OIL PAN REPLACED. RUSTED AND WAS LEAKING.

ACCORDING TO MY MECHSNIC ,THE SWAY BAR HAS ROTTED OFF AND THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL DUE TO WHERE THE AIR CONDITIONING UNIT DRAINS THERE HAS BEEN A WARRANTY EXTENSION I'VE BEEN TOLD WHEN WE TURN THE WHEEL LEFT OR RIGHT IT FEELS LIKE THE THE CAR IS COMING APART THE SUBFRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACED .

WAS DRIVING MY CAR ON A BACK ROAD WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR WHEN I HEARD A LOUD POP AND THE CAR STARTED VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. PULLED OVER AND SAW THAT THE REAR PASSENGER TIER WAS LEANING INTO THE WHEEL WELL. THE CAR WAS MOVING. I BELIEVE THAT THE REAR CHASSIS RUSTED AND CAUSED A DANGEROUS SITUATION.

I BOUGHT A 2007 DODGE CALIBER FROM A YOUNG MAN COME TO FIND OUT HE ONLY PAID $325 OFF OF A CAR LOT HE HAS A DEALERS LICENSE AND HE WAS THE ONLY OWNER BEFORE ME AND DID NOT TELL ME ABOUT THE STRUTS, THERE WAS A RECALL ON THEM ALSO HAS BAD SENSORS ( GAS, ENGINE COOLANT AND PCM INTERNAL SENSORS) SOLD THE CAR KNOWINGLY AND DID NOT GET THE RECALLS DONE WHEN NEEDED I NEED SOMETHING DONE I HAVE FIVE CHILDREN AND ONE GRANDCHILD WHO ARE AT RISK ME DRIVING AND HAVING A WRECK.

STRUTS AND BALL JOINTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED 5 TIMES SINCE OWNING THIS CAR THE PAST 5 YEARS. CURRENTLY BEING REPAIRED AFTER SUBFRAME BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. DID SOME RESEARCH AND APPARENTLY THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE. NOT ONLY WHILE I WAS DRIVING WHEN IT BROKE, I HAD MY KIDS WITH ME. WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ONTO A BUSY STREET I HEARD A LOUD 'SNAP' AND LOST ALL CONTROL OF MY CAR.
