I washed my car for the first time and that is when i noticed my cars frame is rusted out. there is a big hole in the middle of my frame that is near the motor. i have to drive it and it sounds like it's going to break in half. it is worst when i hit a bump in the road, like speed bumps. my car has 106k miles the body has little to no rust. i've owned it only a few months.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge caliber. while reversing out of the parking lot, the contact noticed an abnormal noise under the vehicle. the contact immediately took the vehicle to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the subframe had a lot of corrosion and needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired. the dealer (terry henricks chrysler dodge jeep ram, 1935 s defiance st, archbold, oh 43502, (419) 445-2576) was contacted and stated that the vin was not included in a recall. the contact mentioned that the ball joints were replaced five times by an independent mechanic at 30,000 miles. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failures. the failure mileage was approximately 100,011.

Takate recall. i just gt new tires and the front arms need to be replaced is there a recall on them

My 2007 dodge caliber's subframe is severely rusted and there's less then 80,000 miles on the car. a car that new should not rust so bad in such a short amount of time. the warranty on the car should be a recall because the subframe is so rusted that it's dangerous and too unsafe to drive anywhere. in addition to the car being a safety hazard, the subframe is very expensive to fix thanks to the amount of time it takes to remove the subframe. with the subframe gone bad, the rusted out subframe also damages attached parts of the car. the struts in the rear and front have gone bad due to the subframe's erosion.

Rear sub frame rotted cause vehicle to almost tip over

Had creaking noises from front end, as i was inspecting noticed the front crossmember severely rusted with holes. did a google search and found numerous complaints. also found a campaign from dodge stating there was an extended warranty on both the rear and front subframes/cross members. i had already replaced the rear. i contacted dodge and was told there are no longer any campaigns or recalls that are active for my caliber. i stated that the front sub frame has rusted beyond its life and my vehicle has less than 145k miles. i also asked if they would provide assistance in its repair as it is a major safety hazard. they replied with, since all warranties are expired and no recalls are in effect, they would not help or provide any assistance with any repairs.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge caliber. while driving uphill, the vehicle made a loud abnormal noise. there were no warning indicators illuminated. the vehicle was diagnosed by an independent mechanic who informed the contact not to drive the vehicle because the rear axle cradle was corroded. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was 74,900. the consumer was not made aware of the extended warranty. *js *as *as

While driving car, in my extremely busy city, a clunking sound started to occur from underneath. the car began to feel unstable to drive and is especially bad when turning corners or hitting a bump. after taking it to get a power steering line leak repaired, the mechanics informed me that the k frames or sub frames were completely rusted and would need replaced. i bought this car used in hopes of giving it to my teenage daughter when she gets her driver's licence next month. after looking for recalls, i see that the extended warranty ended just last year. i need to get back and forth to work and i cannot afford the repair. at only 119,000 miles this should be on the recall list. this appears to be a common issue among dodge calibers and is very unsafe!
