Driving on the highway at 70 mph and car transmission temperature light came on and the power to the car declined to a coast and i had to try and pull to the shoulder in heavy traffic with snow on the road which almost caused me to get hit by other vehicles going the speed of 70 mph. this has happened numerous times i have taken it in to the dealer whom recommended that i have the transmission service done by the dealer which i paid for and complied to have performed. it continued to happen and still looses power going highway speed of 65. i have taken it to the dealer over and over and they deny any liability and say everything is ok. i have the lifetime powertrain warranty on the vehicle. i am going to end up dead thanks to a faulty transmission in the car. it has never towed anything so no stress is ever applied to the transmission. now i am pissed because my wife was almost hit when she was driving it on the highway during rush hour and it reduced power on her. i have paperwork showing the dealer checking it and saying it is ok not to mention the numerous times i have gone in and they say they have heard nothing regarding problems with the caliber. if you look on line there are plenty of us citizens that are plaqued with this same problem.......updated 12/03/15 *bf updated 11/13/2017*cn
This has happened many times before yesterday. while driving on the freeway, the check engine light comes on, and the car go into a "limp" mode (very little power), and even at full pedal, it slowly slows down. having had it happen several times before, i learned to pull over, and shut off the car, and let it set for a few minutes. sometimes times this is not easy, or safe to do. then it is hard to restart, but will drive somewhat better. this allows me to get to a place that i can shut it off for an extended amount of time (1/2 hour), and then it runs more like normal, but the check engine light stay on for several days. after the check engine light goes out, it is running normal again until the next time. so far, this has not caused an accident, but i'm sure somebody will be hurt or killed before this gets recalled. good luck follow drivers. *tr

I see that gm has finally issued a recall for their engines stalling and i'm wondering if chrysler ever will be held accountable for the same thing? there 2007 dodge caliber stalls with a flashing left light, which has been reported to chrysler, the nhtsa, and transport canada on numerous occasions but nothing is ever done about it. consumers are just left to fend for themselves and it's completely unacceptable. *tr
