Transmission constantly over heats dispite having the fluids flushed and changed. the inside light flash like they are going out and the transmission whines and whines at 60 to 70 mph. i've had this car since 2013 and have had 3 recalls. these vehicles seem to be extremely unsafe and i'm not sure why they're still on the streets. all of this happens while driving anywhere.

Cluster lights, back lighting for climate control knobs and tail lights flicker three times and then go off. this happens any time when turning on lights, whether at vehicle start-up or when driving down highway. makes for unsafe night time driving.

My 2008 dodge caliber stalled out when driving & had the electronic throttle body control lights go off. ( we traded instead of fixing) not 1 week later my 2014 dodge avenger has this same electronic throttle body control and stalled on the highway!!!!! the shop that is trying to fix this just has another avenger fixed for the same issue ! why have these not been recalled? if someone gets hurt stalling out on a highway because of this, there is going to be issues.

Car shuts off while driving check engine light comes on car will bot drive ofer 20 mph. it is very dangerous to just shut down. seen many issues with the dame thing and it is being said it is tipm. they dealer has said they go bad repeatedly due to corrosion because of a bad design. it is crazy having to pay 2000+ dollars to replace the same part multiple times to be just shut down in the middle of a road or interstate while driving. has happened 5 times so dat.

The recall u have that u say has not effected mine has. i've already put a new engine in the car and a gas tank, all the lines and now the car is still shutting off/down on its own. the recall is exactly wat the mechanic says needs done and he doesn't have the equipment to do the repair. no advanced read out machinery to change or reprogram. i need this recall on mine. there's no way u got every one that was recalled. like i said jeff bradley is the mechanic that's fine all the work the new motor the gas tank and lines, and now it's still shutting down. there is no dash lights that cone n at all

When in cruise control at between 70-75 mph and going up a long incline (cajon pass) the electrical light comes on and the car quits running, and to date starts again after losing about 5mph after several heartbeats. this has been happening intermittently since the car was new with less than 6000 miles on it.

At first, the service engine soon light would begin flashing when i hit the accelerator pedal and i lost power. could not go over 35 mph. then by the time i made it off the highway, the light stayed flashing all the time. and i have not been able to regain proper power at all. it uses a ton of gas and when sitting in park, if i push the break pedal, there is a clicking noise under where the shifter is located. with losing power on the highway, other traffic and myself were in danger. i looked online and many many ppl have the same issue with no luck of fixing the problem even after hundreds of dollars at the mechanic. also, many have filed complaints and have gotten no where and very negative responses when calling dodge. i dont have hundreds of dollars for repairs as i am on disability. hope this has became a recall issue and i dont have a huge out of pocket expense. i travel to drs alot

There is a known issue with the tipm in these vehicles and they have been recalled in other models with the same tipm when this module fails the headlights stop working and there is no repair other then paying dodge to fix it and they want 1000$ they have recalled other models of chrysler jeeps and dodges which have this same module but not the caliber. i believe this should be addressed. my lights failed when i was driving at night. so this is a major issue.

While driving vehicle during winter, heat shut off. after turning heat back on (moving knob to off position and then back on) there was an electrical smoke smell in the cabin. once the vehicle was parked, a large amount of smoke appeared to be coming from the air conditioner blower control knob and the area above the knob was hot to the touch almost to the point where i was concerned that i may need to call the fire department to have them check for fire. when car was turned on again, the blower motor would not start.
