NHTSA — Structure: Body Problems

2007 Dodge Caliber (Page 6 of 6)

CarComplaints.com Seal Of Avoid Like The Plague

CarComplaints.com Notes: The 2007 Dodge Caliber has all kinds of suspension problems at relatively low mileage: typically 40-50,000 miles.

The most commonly reported problems are with ball joints & control arms going bad. Tie rods & leaking struts are also reported failing in the same mileage range.

Unfortunately all the suspension problems means some owners only find out after they notice their tires are ruined.

We've given the 2007 Caliber our worst rating because these problems happen at such low mileage, & it involves a wide range of apparently defective parts. With most other cars, major suspension work is pretty rare under 50,000 miles.

After owning my new car for a few days, I decided to roll the back windows down for my children. The car makes a horrible noise, like a helicopter directly overhead. It leaves you with a piercing pain in your ears and a headache. If you leave them down for more than a couple of seconds, you have a thump that last inside your ear for a couple of days. The road conditions don't seem to matter, it has to be in the design of the car.

-the contact owns a 2007 Dodge Caliber. The contact was driving 40 mph and the road conditions were dry. The contact heard a loud rumbling sound that was piercing to the ears. The sound was loud enough to give the contact a headache. The dealer test drove the vehicle and diagnosed a pressurization problem. This incident occurred when the rear windows were down and the front windows were up. The dealer advised her that the design of the vehicle may have something to do with the loud noise, and advised her, if the rear windows were down the front windows should also be down to eliminate the noise.
