The engine cradle was completely corroded and had to be replaced, along with the attached lower control arms w/ ball joints. This cost $1,800. There was a recall on the 2007 model. Mechanic said that it was so corroded that it was a miracle that it hadn't broken. The car had about 57,625 miles on it at the time.

Had the vehicle in for replacement of a rear wheel bearing and the shop informed me that the subframe is nearly in need of replacement. The 2007 Dodge Caliber subframe coverage was extended to 10 years, but not for the 2008. Vehicle had approximately 135,000 miles at time of inspection.

Front K-frame cross member rusted out. Extended warranty available and problem acknowledged through 2007 models. However, it was obviously not resolved by 2008. Significant safety issue as driver would not be able to control the vehicle when this part fails. Dodge will not warranty. Pix attached

Pulled car out of driveway noticed to go straight steering wheel was at 10 O'clock position and when I hit a bump felt like there was no suspension. Had it towed in to be checked. Sub frame had completely rusted through and was detached.

- Lincoln Park, MI, USA

The sub frame of this vehicle is rusted out and needs replacing. There was a recall on the 2007 model but none for the 2008. The vehicle was manufactured in February 2008 and, most likely, was made with faulty 2007 parts. Calls made to Chrysler-Dodge resulted in them saying this is my problem and I have to pay for a replacement sub frame which will cost approximately $1000. In addition, a year ago, the front bumper had to be repainted due to sub par paint job by the manufacturer.

When turning over the key to start the vehicle, nothing would happen. Turning back the key and trying again would typically result in the car starting. After 2-3 months of this intermittent behavior, the vehicle also began to act as if the key was in the ignition after it was removed (it would ding when the door was opened and not allow me to lock my doors).
