My car was slow to accelerate, and sounded like the engine was over-revving. The engine stalled several times, and the car itself was shaking, while driving at a moderate speed level, which I feared would have caused an accident, because it was sudden. The service warning light appeared. I had the manifold replaced by one mechanic, but the problem occurred again. I got a second opinion, that determined it was the throttle body assembly, which was replaced. That was three years ago. Now, the same issue has cropped up again. The cost was exorbitant, and is something I can't afford every few years.

My throttle body keeps going in and out which cause me to have to get an alternator replaced twice plus a crankshaft twice. Now my car is smoking which is the valve cover gasket. Also my car lights went out one at a time so my driver side lights wnt work at all in the front and the passenger side front won't work just my signal on the passenger side. Also my dashboard won't work properly it keeps goin on and off as I turn on other lights in my car. When I signal left my car light on the roof comes on. I spent $12000 on this car from a dealership and have done nothing but put money into it more than I paid for it.

I recently purchased the vehicle from the original owner. The vehicle light flashes while driving. The mileage is currently 91K miles. Now the lightening bolt symbol will not turn off and the vehicle will not accelerate over 39 miles. I have not been able to drive the vehicle for over a week.

- Mccarley, MS, USA

Started vehicle which had been running perfectly fine, just got a oil change a few days prior. Started driving and the car starts sputtering like it was going to die. The etc symbol started to flash and car would only go 5-10 mph when this happened I was already driving at 40mph when the car just started to slow down to the 5 miles and sputter.

- Park Hills, MO, USA

Feels like the car is going to hit a corner or bump and the whole front and tires are gonna come off. Also the gas cap light keeps coming on followed by the engine light. For some reason my gas cap keeps opening itself like there is air or pressure literally unscrewing it. The gas cap happens when parked

- Long Beach, CA, USA

The throttle light came on and now my car is wont pick up speed only 10mph and its puttering and jerking. So I replaced the throttle body unit and did a relearn on the car and its still acting funky. I saw its a recall on the 2007 Dodge cablier other ppl are complaining about this same problem.. its very unsafe to drive a car like this with my family

- Milwaukee, WI, USA

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. While exiting a parking lot, the vehicle accelerated without warning into a busy street, crossed over train tracks, and crashed into a train. The passenger side of the vehicle went under the train. The air bags failed to deploy. There were no injuries and a police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The dealer and manufacturer were not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 163,000.

- Atlanta, GA, USA

When in cruise control at between 70-75 mph and going up a long incline (cajon pass) the electrical light comes on and the car quits running, and to date starts again after losing about 5mph after several heartbeats. This has been happening intermittently since the car was new with less than 6000 miles on it.

At first, the service engine soon light would begin flashing when I hit the accelerator pedal and I lost power. Could not go over 35 mph. Then by the time I made it off the highway, the light stayed flashing all the time. And I have not been able to regain proper power at all. It uses a ton of gas and when sitting in park, if I push the break pedal, there is a clicking noise under where the shifter is located. With losing power on the highway, other traffic and myself were in danger. I looked online and many many ppl have the same issue with no luck of fixing the problem even after hundreds of dollars at the mechanic. Also, many have filed complaints and have gotten no where and very negative responses when calling Dodge. I dont have hundreds of dollars for repairs as I am on disability. Hope this has became a recall issue and I dont have a huge out of pocket expense. I travel to drs alot

The car will suddenly lose all acceleration and power with no warning. Eventually the throttle control light will illuminate but will eventually go off. The gas pump as been replaced, the throttle control has been replaced, and this is still happening. This is extremely dangerous and could cause me to get rear-ended at any given moment. It's extremely scary because this will happen in the middle of the driving on the expressway and all of a sudden the vehicle goes into limp mode and goes no where. This happens while driving on the city streets as well. Also, I'm pregnant. I am afraid for myself, my child, and the father of my child because we all ride in this car every day!!! this needs to be fixed!!! search the internet, this is happening to everyone, not just me!!!

While driving I let off of accelerator pedal and vehicle proceeds to accelerate with out your foot being on it. This was while in motion on a city street

- Washington, IL, USA

My car loss speed when you drive it for more than 50 minutes end then I have to wait for 20 minutes while the temperature down.

- Pueblo, CO, USA

This is my third time that this car has not started. For no reason with a new battery it won't turn on and has no power at all. No power to the lights, locks, radio or dash. Now it has low power and when it's turned off with no key in the ignition it's making a ticking noise every 30 seconds. I have to wait again to get this jumped and I want out of this vehicle. I've replaced the battery twice in this car within 10 months and the fuse box doesn't work for the right headlight. I don't know how to get out of this car without the dealership coming after me.

"takata recall" while driving the 2007 Dodge Caliber, it suddenly jerks and down shifts and rpms seem to sky rocket, the lightning bolt symbol illuminates and it drops speed and will not accelerate over 30 mph max, it tends to do this on hills or after you have to brake slightly for any reason and then accelerate again to maintain speed or to get up a hill. No matter how much you take it easy on the acceleration or how hard you push it, it doesn't help after it goes into this slow mode. The only way to get the vehicle to operate normal again is to pull off the road, put it in park, turn it off and then wait and restart it again, some times it has taken up to 5 times or trying to restart it before it finally restarts. This vehicle carries children in it every day, and it has became very unsafe to operate, having a great chance of being rearended or hit by another vehicle in the side due to loss of power unexpectedly

- Vinton, VA, USA

The contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. While driving approximately 65 mph, the electronic throttle control warning indicator illuminated continuously. In addition, the vehicle decelerated from 65 mph to 5 mph, and the vehicle lost power. The vehicle was able to restart, but failed to operate until minutes later. The contact called john elway Chrysler at 970-281-4687 and was advised to bring in the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not under warranty. The approximate failure mileage was 154,000.

- Greeley, CO, USA

My car started to stall a month ago after getting a new battery placed into my vehicle. The etc (engine throttle control) light would pop up on my dash. I could no longer accelerate. So once I went to a mechanic shop, they read the codes and it said I needed my camshaft position censor fixed. Problem occurred again days later. They then said it was the throttle body, they put in a new one. The problem occurred again, my car actually stalled while I was turning in a intersection. That is dangerous, especially when my daughter is in the car. I went back and they had to keep my car for a week because they said it was my ECM and they had to order the part. I got my car back on Thursday June 29th, 2017 and my car stalled again on June 30th. I am quite frustrated at this point because I'm noticing that this has been an ongoing issue and Dodge is not acknowledging that there is an issue. Someone will and probably already has died because of this issue.

Turn signals start to fail, even with the faulty bulb replaced newly replaced bulb does not work. Brought the car to the dealership and diagnosed the tipm (totally integrated power module) is faulty. Checked the internet and forums for similar issues other owners have worse issues such as headlights randomly going out, stalling at highway speeds, windshield wipers failing... that they are encountering due to a faulty tipm which can be a safety issue. The clockspring failure causes the airbag warning light to come on which signifies that the airbag will not work when it needs to. The cruise control system intermittently works which is also affected by the clock spring. Both lower control arms bushings (left and right) have been replaced twice due to wear. Seems excessive wear between 58K and 80K miles with mostly highway driving on smooth roads.

- Mount Vernon, WA, USA

Have had several batteries, starters and alternators replaced over the past 3 years. Car has 140,000 miles on it. Recently the engine light went on. Now when it rains, the dashboard warning lights go off like a christmas tree with the the warning bell sounding. Car won't go over 20mph. If I turn it off and then on again (sometimes after a few tries) it starts up fine. Like the car but can't afford whatever is wrong to fix it.
