Problems with 2007 Dodge Caliber STEERING

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.

Front and rear cross members as per x58 and revision x59 rusted notice sent july 14th 2014 to have inspected for rust dealership inspected and found no rust reinspected august 23 2018 rust found dealership stated out of extended warranty x58 no goodwill assistance available cause of extended warranty expiration.

I was changing the oil of my wife 2007 dodge caliber when i looked over and saw that the lower control arm was completely almost completely cracked through the middle portion of it. a day prior my wife mentioned that the car was driving a little weird. this could have been extremely dangerous for my wife and other motorist if it failed on the public roads.

My car horn, lights, power windows will not work and the car will not start the car stopped without warning and my lights when off. now the car does not turn on at all after getting a tow truck to my mechanic he stated that my power train module needed to be re program but he could not do it so i had to get another tow truck to take the car to the dealer which told me i have to replace my tipm @ $1700. plus tax. too expensive this s/b cover by dodge this was scary for my car to stopped while i was driving i could have kill myself and someone else i already paid over $200. in tow trucks

Took car in for inspection and was told by mechanic that the frame was shot, totally rusted out and could break anytime.

I was driving my vehicle on our county road, and lost control because the car quickly and sharply veered off to the right towards the ditch. the cause is the sub frame assembly was badly corroded and the control arm assembly broke free from of the frame. we had the vehicle inspected on a recall two years ago to be checked for a corroded crossmember. we were not informed of any problem down then with the sub frame. it was very frightening, and had i been going faster i don't know if i'd be here today. it's in the repair shop now. this occurred today, august 22, 2017.

The front end makes all kinds of noises. locks dont work cant open trunk.head lights work when they want to.

Thought i had a loose belt called dealership where i bought car told to dodge dealership i did that $90.00 service fee said i needed new alternator $1,086.00, i could not afford that took it to america's they said for $615.00 replace then they called and said need all new tie rods well that would bring it to $1077.00. i could only get a loan for $1,000.00 so the tie rods i cannot get. after the dodge dealership had my car when they gave it back to me that car was running so bad and shaking which it never did. i bought the car i had 70,000 that was 3 1/2 years ago now i only $75,000 miles on car. my car always ran smooth on highways and city streets . there was just a noise on my car. the car ran great. people could hear the noise also as i am deaf so i could barely hear noise with my hearing aid on. i had the car inspected just a few months ago and passed inspection they drove the car.
