I came to visit my son for a spring break in west virginia and i have noticed/heated a very loud noise. i asked my son what is that loud noise? i made an ocular inspection under the car and found very rotten condition sub-frames. i immediately very worried and took the car to the nearest car service repair to take a look at the rotten sub-frames. i noticed the car was very unstable while driving to the shop even at a low speed. the mechanic emmediately concluded that the sub-framed is so rotten and worried it would collapse. the mechanic recommended that the sub/frames be replaced. the mechanics called part supplier to order needed sub-frame parts. the mechanic was told my car has a recall for sub-frames and suggested to bring my car to the nearest dodge service center in morgantown west virginia. again it was very frightening driving the car to urse fidge authorized service center. i discovered that my car has two recalls: s60 and x69. i left my car st dodge service for necessary repair. i told them that the car is very dangerous to drive. another issue with the car is the engine losing power while my son was driving to west virginia university. i was driving and following my son's and suddenly he drove his car along the side road. i thought he was just resting but found later when arrived st the university that the car slowed down along i-68. this really convened me also because it is life threatening. the third issue i exprienced while driving the car, is the brake. break bounced back and doesn't stopped instantly. this really concerned me si much also. it's a safety hazard. after experiencing the safety concern of this car which can cause lives. i'm really afraid driving this car. i would like to recommend that dodge company must need to buy-out the cars that are out there to prevent injuries and preserve lives.

While looking at the under carriage of my 2011 dodge caliber, flakes of black pain peeling off the front subframe. upon further investigation, the front subframe that provides structure for important components such as engine mounting and suspension and steering is being succumbed to rust. the vehicle has only been serviced at the dodge dealership where i purchased it from and strangely this subframe which a "certified mopar mechanic" would have to look at just to drain the oil appeared to pass the safety inspection. listen, any competent human knows rust just doesn't appear on a cars under carriage overnight but somehow in my case it happened to be when the warranty expires.

I have a dodge 2011 caliber..i recently bought it back on may 4,2011..within one week i had a water leak on the passenger side. i took it into the shop and they fixed the problem. about two weeks after that i was at a stop light and the light turned green and i went to go and my car didn't move. i had cars behind me so i started my car up again and it went. i called the dealership and they told me "don't bring it in lets do a time span to see if it happens again." two weeks after that i was taking a right hand turn onto a street and it shut off again. i called the dealership and i took it in to them the next day. they had it for almost two weeks and said they coded the abs module and i thought that was weird because my light didn't come on. so they went ahead and put a new one in. so i got it back on the monday and on the friday i was taking a left hand turn and my car cut off again. that was about three weeks ago and they still have my car. they called and told me that they are going to update my software. as of right now i really do not want that car back. it is a very unsafe car and i don't understand why i have to have it if the same problem still occurs. i have contacted chrysler but they said there is nothing they could do about this according to lemon law. *tr
