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.

I purchased expensive good year assurance tires 24,000 miles ago after replacing the original tires at a a young 37000 miles. I recently had the rotated and I was told the tires were toast. The cause of the premature wear was the ball joints. A $725 fix. This 2007 caliber has been a pain in the but with only 61,000 miles on it I will be purchasing a third set of tires and get the added bonus of a replacing the ball joint. Grand total of around $1100.00 this time around. DONE with any Dodge Chrylser products.
