2007 Dodge Caliber shutting down...

Written by: scctwc on Nov 10, 2009 01:45 PM

When I was sitting at a red light my caliber just completely shut down - lights and everything went off. Then it would not restart - just completely dead. I tried several times and then finally it started back up. Took to the dealer since still under warranty, and they said they could not find anything wrong. It has 30 thousand miles. I have had censors go out four times ... Read More...

Yeah, good luck w/ that recall. It's probably a couple thousand for the new tranny, right? At this point, our '07s are only worth about $5,000 so it's close to being considered 'totaled'. I've got over 70,000 mi on my SXT already, and BOY DO I HAVE MY FINGERS CROSSED! I still have 2 1/2 years left on the payments, too. The first time I experienced the ''my pedal is close ...

All I can tell all of you is that this car sucks, I already had to change the transmission on my 2007 Dodge Caliber. I took it to the Dealer and to see if they will do it under warranty and they said that my warranty was expired. I remember my friend told me that dodge and chrysler tranys go out when they reach 100thousand miles. Well i guess he was right... I wonder if they ... Read More...

I haven't read any of your previous posts(if I recall) so I don't know how many miles are on your Caliber. Some posts re CVT failures have been resolved by replacement of the CVT trans cooler which is located in front of the regular rad,seems they clog up.One poster had the CVT replaced under warranty when it overheated and failed but the dealer did not replace the ...

I bought the caliber for my daughter. I wanted her to have a safe vehicle... what a joke. Like everyone mentioned... after 40 minutes or so of driving the tranny overheated and the car would stop... on the highway!!! I took it to the dealership and was told that when they called Chrysler they did not know how to fix the problem and asked to keep the car for a couple days ... Read More...

If you follow the owners manual the CVT(AUTO) trans is not due for its first full service somewhere between 90,000-100,000 miles.The servicing is expensive due to the special trans fluid and generally costs $250-$300. The CVT is not rebuilt by ANY Chrysler dealership,they are replaced as a unit and the trans is sent back to JATCO(mfr) for analysis and rebuild. ... Read More...
