2011 Dodge Caliber Mainstreet 4dr Wagon (2.0L 4cyl CVT)

i owned the vehicle for three years. In those three years i had to replace temperature sensors, struts because it sounded as if they had rocks inside, oil dipstick because it cracked with the heat. The transmission oil was 450, because no one other then the dealership wanted to touch it. Acceleration was soo poor, driving was soooo boring. I tried maintaining a positive attitude about the car, but now that I'm in a honda, its crazy how stupid i was to get this car. I will never get a dodge or american car based on this car. Gas consumption was horrible for being a 2.0, this car sucked.

car constantly overheats, smells like gas when using AC, and steering wheel randomly stops running. sometimes on the highway my car can barely run. DSL trucks would come from far behind and then pass me, extremely embarrassing. such a joke of a car.
Worst new car I ever purchased

After two weeks of riding in my new Caliber, I began to experience consistent problem with tires and clanging noises. After several trips to dealer, problem remedied, only to reoccur few months later. Did I purchase the only defective 2010 on the lot?

All Dodge Calibers-all years have this problem. Dodge is aware but refused to fix it. Should be recalled, but they won't do that either. Dealerships get them, knowing the problem and pawn off on the next person. Do yourself a favor and do not buy this car, no matter what year. They leak!! Do not let them tell you otherwise. You'll be dealing with water on your floors, seat, inside of roof, rearview mirror, etc. These are all Dodge Calibers.

First off i have a 2008 limited Durango 15,000 miles and a 2010 ram Laramie 4,000 miles love 'em. I also had a 2007 caliber rt traded it in w/ 123,345 miles bought the 2010 caliber and the interior is way better the cvt is also more refined and the soft door panels are a big plus.
