Takata recall while driving the 2007 dodge caliber, it suddenly jerks and down shifts and rpms seem to sky rocket, the lightning bolt symbol illuminates and it drops speed and will not accelerate over 30 mph max, it tends to do this on hills or after you have to brake slightly for any reason and then accelerate again to maintain speed or to get up a hill. no matter how much you take it easy on the acceleration or how hard you push it, it doesn't help after it goes into this slow mode. the only way to get the vehicle to operate normal again is to pull off the road, put it in park, turn it off and then wait and restart it again, some times it has taken up to 5 times or trying to restart it before it finally restarts. this vehicle carries children in it every day, and it has became very unsafe to operate, having a great chance of being rearended or hit by another vehicle in the side due to loss of power unexpectedly

On nov. 22, 2016 i was driving to work at 6:00 am. my caliber started making a hissing noise, after about 2 minutes of this the engine shut off and i lost all electric power. the car was towed to the shop and the starter was replaced. 2 weeks later the same thing happened. this time nothing was replaced, due to the car starting at the garage. again on dec. 20 the same thing with the exception of i was on my way home. the started was again replaced. this recurred on jan 9, 2017. the started was replaced again. it happened again on jan. 20, again the starter has been replaced. according to the mechanic, they cannot find anything else wrong. this is a serious safety issue. luckily i haven't been driving at a high rate of speed, but if this would occur at 65 or 70 mph it could cause serious problems. after doing some research on-line, i have found several other complaints about this problem. *tr
