Recently reported ELECTRICAL SYSTEM problems on 2007 Dodge Caliber

The throttle light came on and now my car is wont pick up speed only 10mph and its puttering and jerking. so i replaced the throttle body unit and did a relearn on the car and its still acting funky. i saw its a recall on the 2007 dodge cablier other ppl are complaining about this same problem .. its very unsafe to drive a car like this with my family

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.

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.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge caliber. the contact stated that the passenger side high beam lamp was inoperable. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuse box and electrical harness failed and needed replacement. the vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer was not notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 120,000. the vin was unavailable.

Driver side seatbelt releases itself while i'm driving, front driver headlight does not turn on even though bulb has been changed several times to rule out damaged bulb, rear tag light won't turn on when vehicle is in motion, rearview mirror light will not turn on.

I was driving on an interstate highway at 70 mph i noticed my speedometer stopped working i continued about the same speed( using my tachometer) for about 3 miles and my car abruptly lost all power almost causing me to get hit. i make it off the highway to the shoulder and the car will barely idle and had no throttle response. this was a very dangerous situation caused by a faulty electronic throttle control (throttle body) that is a well known issue by consumers and dealers

This is my third time that this car has not started. for no reason with a new battery it won't turn on and has no power at all. no power to the lights, locks, radio or dash. now it has low power and when it's turned off with no key in the ignition it's making a ticking noise every 30 seconds. i have to wait again to get this jumped and i want out of this vehicle. i've replaced the battery twice in this car within 10 months and the fuse box doesn't work for the right headlight. i don't know how to get out of this car without the dealership coming after me.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge caliber. while driving 60 mph, the battery warning indicator illuminated and the vehicle decelerated and stalled. the vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the electrical system was inoperable. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer and dealer were not notified of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 10,000.

My car has had electrical issues and most all the calibers do also has transmission issues which has had multiple complaints dodge refuses to answer or fix any of the cars or issue recalls they have been made well aware if you check forums as well you can see the difficult times other people have had and the dangerous situations

For the second time this year, i have lost all headlights, air conditioning, engine dying randomly while driving, safety lights flashing and beeping on dashboard. the tipm module is going out again. this part is nearly $1,000 and only a dodge dealership is able to fix this issue. there are issues worldwide with this same part in multiple dodge cars since 2007 and nothing has been done to fix this issue

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 dodge caliber. while driving approximately 65 mph, the electronic throttle control warning indicator illuminated continuously. in addition, the vehicle decelerated from 65 mph to 5 mph, and the vehicle lost power. the vehicle was able to restart, but failed to operate until minutes later. the contact called john elway chrysler at 970-281-4687 and was advised to bring in the vehicle. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and informed the contact that the vehicle was not under warranty. the approximate failure mileage was 154,000.

My headlights was not working so i bought a replacement bulb. the low beam was out the high beam works. the bulb replacement did not work. i took to a mechanic and he looked at it and said it was my fuse box. the entire thing needed replaced. being in the business he said it is a known problem with this make and model. the cost to replace the entire thing is costly since the is basically the computer of the car... there is no way to fix without replacing the entire fuse box. this fuse box controls a lot of things that could be safety issues and lighting to me is very important. i have owned many cars and have never had to replace a fuse box. i checked for recalls and there was none. i began looking online and the amount of people who have this make and model and the same problem is astounding but i guess until someone gets hurt chrysler won't do anything about it.

Driver side headlight (low beam) stopped working. high beams work. changed out the headlight with no fix.
