2007 Dodge Caliber 4dr Wagon (1.8L 4cyl 5M)
Review
I bought my 2007 Caliber in March of 2006, one of the first ones in this area. I was initially worried because I had the stalling problem (sound familiar Caliber owners?) and I also lost the alternator at about 50k. That was an $$$ repair. I still own the car. It has 256,000 miles on it! I have had to replace the alternator again. Over the last six years, I've replaced the tie rods (roads where I live--NE Ohio--are horrible) and one wheel bearing. I get 32 mpg on the highway (1.8 stick shift). The stalling issue just disappeared (did the computer self-adjust?). Car has the original exhaust system. So... two alternators, tie rods, a battery and 256k miles. Does this car owe me anything?

Have you tried going straight to Chrysler about your problem. I went to them on 2 different occasions and the first time they paid all but $150.00 and the second time they paid 50% of the bill. They were very nice and did not give me any hassle about it. However, I am having the same problem a 3rd time I doubt if they are goint to help a third time so I have gone to the dearlership to see if they will help me, since I am unemployed at the moment and can not afford to have it fixed. I had 2 lower control arms, front ball joint and tie rod end that needed to be repaired.

I have a 2007 R/T now with 150K miles on it. I had to replace the alternator once, the original tires at 60K and nothing else that isn't supposed to be changed (wipers, brake pads, filters). The car runs great I use it everyday at work and love driving it. I change the oil every 5k and the plugs every 10K. I bought it with 10K on it and plan on driving a couple more years or longer
