Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge caliber. upon starting the vehicle, the air bag indicator remained illuminated. the contact also stated that the front passenger side headlight failed to illuminate. the vehicle was taken to barbera autoland (7810 e roosevelt blvd, philadelphia, pa 19152 (215) 333-3700) for diagnostic testing of the headlight. the vehicle was not taken to an independent mechanic or dealer for the air bag warning indicator failure. the manufacturer was notified by voicemail and the contact was awaiting a callback. the failure mileage was unknown.

Takata recall- my air bag light stays on all the time, also i had to replace the electronic control module, it was completely full of corrosion. all of the front and back suspention had to be replaced, all control arms upper and lower, struts, the whole thing. the transmission will not shift properly, causing the engine to stall. i have had the suspention fixed, and the electrical replaced. the transmission fluid changed but mechanic could not find out what the problem is. it does not shift properly when on highway driving, and will not down shift when stopping, car stalls out. the electrical module would not put out enough power to run the lights, wipers, fan or radio. this car is a real piece of crap, dodge should be ashamed of themselves for even putting it on the market. we want action, for what we paid for this junk.

Takata recall i have a 2007 dodge caliber and the airbag light want go out and i need to know about this light and the recall for the airbags in these car. thank you. there is nothing that have happen right now but i don't want anything to happen i need this fix before something do happen. *tr

My husband was driving and i was the passenger. 12/23/15. the car was a 2007 dodge caliber. approx 80,000 miles on it. no prior accidents. a car turned into driver side. my husband was not hurt. both cars going approx 10 miles an hour. i was hit with air bag. i received a broken rib, new bridge completely knocked out(or should i say in.). my back, neck, ankle still give me a lot of pain today. my body bruised head to toe. concussion.

Our 2007 dodge caliber has a airbag warning light indicator that stays on continuously and now it is going on and off intermittently. i took it into dodge dealer and they said it's not under warranty. so we took the car to an auto repair facility that said it is a dangerous and expensive repair and that dodge should take care of it because it is a serious safety issue. what is our next step to resolve this issue?

Horn and airbag both failed making the vehicle unsafe. dodge refuses to fix the problem. *tr

I had an accident on friday, january 18, 2015. the car in front of me put on brakes, and i was a distance away from the car in front of me when i put on brakes as well. however, when i attempted to brake, it would not brake normally as a car should. also, there was no anti-lock brake that kicked in. in addition, the airbags did not deploy in this vehicle. my car is totaled. thankfully, i was able to walk away. there is something wrong with the brakes on this vehicle. i always felt like that. however, the experience that i had with this accident was confirmation for me. *tr

Vehicle was involved in frontal collision with run off tire from a trailer being pulled by a pickup truck. frontal driver side received damage to electrical wiring harness which shut down onboard computer system. upon impact the vehicle seized operation and shut down air bag deployment. steering control was lost due to half shaft joint was sheered apart. *tr

The car would not start (lights worked, but engine would not turn over). after replacing the throttle cable and box, as well as some broken wiring, the car still would not start. the mechanic then towed the vehicle to a dodge dealership, where the computer was reset. the car ran for another week after it was first "fixed," and then again did not start (same problem as before). additionally, the light to indicate that the air bags were not functioning turned on prior to the vehicle not starting. this is more frustrating because we have had extensive issues with this car (replaced all tie rods, bushings, control arms, have a broken door from the hinge breaking, and had multiple tires wearing unevenly due to the car's suspension problems) already, and have sunk well over $6000 in repairs this year alone. *tr

I was involved in a collision, my front into a rear quarter panel. my car was a total per the insurance company yet my airbags never deployed. i only suffered minor injuries to my head, shoulder and neck, but had my airbags worked, i believe my injuries would have been a lesser degree. *tr

The first signs of a problem were a clicking sound when turning the steering wheel. it did not happen every time, and i did nothing about it until december, when a portion of a strap with electrical wire embedded began to protrude from the upper steering column. it soon began to be a nuisance as the portion grew longer and would catch on the steering position adjustment knob. i grew alarmed when the airbag light came on, and took it to the dealership. they said it was a broken clockspring, and they had to order the part. it cost me over $300 to get this repaired, and now i see toyota is doing a recall for this exact same thing, a spiral cable assembly that becomes damaged from turning the steering wheel. it is a poor design. toyota is replacing this with a better part, but i do not think dodge did that, and i had to pay to get this replaced. i am concerned it could happen again, and believe there should be a recall by dodge also. *js

My wife was in an accident today in her 2007 dodge caliber sxt. she was traveling about 35mph and another vehicle slid across the road in front of her and she hit the side of that truck with the front of her car. it done a significant amount of damage. it busted the front clip off the car and you could see the metal bumper behind the front clip which was severely bent toward the engine and did bust the radiator but no air bag deployment happened. she did recipe some bruising on her neck and shoulder from the seatbelt. *tr
