2010 Dodge Caliber Engine Problems

2010 DODGE CALIBER WITH HEADLIGHT FAILURES CAUSED BY FAULTY FUSE BOX (TIPM). I REPLACE BULBS AND ONE HEADLIGHT WILL NOT LIGHT LOW BEAM OR HIGH BEAM. ALL THE FUSES ARE GOOD. IT HAS ALSO AFFECTED HOW THE CAR RUNS AND HAS STALLED ON THE ROAD. THIS IS THE 4TH OR FIFTH INCIDENT I HAVE HAD WITH THE CAR, HEADLIGHTS, STALLING, TURN SIGNALS, AIR BAG INDICATORS. THE HEADLIGHTS WILL NOT WORK MOVING OR SITTING STILL AND TURN SIGNALS.

WHEN I START MY CAR, IT STARTS JUST FINE AND THEN ABOUT 1-2 MINUTES LATER THE ENGINE CHECK SIGN WILL COME ON FOLLOWED BY A RED LIGHTING BOLD ON THE DASHBOARD. ONCE THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT COMES ON EITHER PARKED OR DRIVING IN A CITY STREET OR HIGHWAY, THE CAR IMMEDIATELY STARTS MAKING LOUD NOISES, SHAKES UNCONTROLLABLY AND SPEED REDUCES, SOMETIMES TO THE POINT WHERE IT SHUTS OFF WHILE I'M STILL DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY OR CITY STREET. IT SORT OF STARTS FORCING ITSELF TO MOVE WHILE IN MOTION. WHILE THE LIGHT IS STILL ON, IF I STOP AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN AND IT'S TIME FOR ME TO GO OR THE LIGHT IS GREEN, WHEN I PUSH THE GAS PADDLE THE CAR SORT OF TRIES TO MOVE WITH PUSHES, JUST AS THOUGH SOMEONE WAS PUSHING IT WHILE PARKED AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN MOVES WITH SPEED. TO RESOLVE IT, I HAVE TO STOP ON THE SIDE AND TURN THE CAR OFF OCCASIONALLY , WAIT ABOUT 5 MINUTES AND THEN START IT FOR THE CAR TO DRIVE NORMALLY ONCE AGAIN UNTIL THE RED LIGHTNING BOLT COMES ON AGAIN. THE LIGHT COMES ON WHETHER PARKED OR IN MOTION. AT TIMES I'D STILL BE DRIVING THE CAR AND WHEN THE LIGHTNING SIGN COMES ON, THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE STILL ON DRIVE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. I'VE TAKEN IT TO DODGE AND OTHER MECHANICS BUT NOBODY IS ABLE TO FIX IT. IT'S REALLY UNSAFE ON THE ROAD WITH THE SUDDEN STOPS, PUSHES AND SHUTTING OFF.

WHILE DRIVING ON A MAJOR STATE HIGHWAY, MY TEMPERATURE LIGHT CAME ON AND I HEARD A WHINING SOUND COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND MY VEHICLE STARTED TO JERK. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SHOULDER WHEN IT STALLED OUT. I LET IT SIT FOR A COUPLE OF SECONDS AND STARTED THE CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY CONDUCTED A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK ON THE VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT COULD HAVE BEEN A LOSE GAS CAP THAT CAUSED THIS ISSUE. THE LAST TIME I WENT TO THE GAS STATION WAS ABOUT TWO DAYS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I DROVE SEVERAL PLACES BEFORE THE INCIDENT. IF IT WAS A GAS CAP ISSUE, THE CAR WOULD HAVE STALLED OUT BEFORE THAT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE.

THIS HAS HAPPENED A FEW DIFFERENT TIME, BUT WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE FROM 45MPH ONTO THE HIGHWAY FROM AN ON RAMP MY DODGE CALIBER 2010 STARTED TO JERK AND WOULDN'T LET ME GO ANY FASTER, WHICH MADE MY CAR ACTUALLY DECELERATE. ALSO THERE WERE TIMES WHEN I TRIED ACCELERATING TO PASS SOMEONE AND IT JUST WOULDN'T GO ANY FASTER, BUT THERE WERE NO JERKS.

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR MY TRANSAXLE OVERHEATING LIGHT WILL ILLIMINATE. MY CAR WILL SLOW DOWN AND NOT KEEP THE SPEED UP. I HAVE TO PULL OVER UNTIL THE LIGHT GOES OUT THEN I CAN CONTINUE MY DRIVING BUT IT WILL DO IT ALL AGAIN 10 MILES DOWN THE ROAD. THIS HAPPENS ABOUT AN HOUR AFTER DRIVING IT ON THE HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH I WAS JUST ON A TRIP 2 HOURS FROM HOME. IN A 30 MINUTE TIME FRAME I HAD TO PULL OVER 6 TIMES BECAUSE OF THIS. I HAVE NOT TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. I HAVE NOTICED MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WHY HAS THIS NOT BEEN RECALLED YET?

MY CAR STARTED TO SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE HAD 4 INCIDENTS WHERE WHEN THE CAR IS ON ACCELERATED SPEED SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN. AM STILL PAYING LOAN ON THE CAR AND I HAVE MAINTAINED SERVICE ON IT.I FEEL I MAYBE IN DANGER AS THE CAR IS NOW A SAFETY HAZARD. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND SAW THAT OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE CONTACTED DODGE CORPORATE TWICE AND WAS GIVEN CASE NUMBER 26243890 ON PHONE AND CASE NUMBER 26233972 ON EMAIL. THEY SAY THEY CAN'T DO ANYTHING AS THE CAR IS NOT ON RECALL. I DO NOT WANT LIFE LOST FOR IT TO BE RECALLED. IF THERE IS ALREADY OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS THEN DODGE SHOULD DO SOMETHING BEFORE ANYTHING BAD HAPPENED. I HAVE CALLED LOCAL DODGE DEALER AND THEY TOLD ME TO PAY TO DIAGNOSE MY CAR. PLEASE HELP SO DODGE TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM BEFORE CAR CAUSES A CRASH. THANK YOU *TR

WHILE DRIVING OUR 2010 DODGE CALIBER ON THE INTERSTATE FOR APPROXIMATELY 1 HOUR IN HEAVY TRAFFIC AT 75MPH THE CAR SUDDENLY STARTS TO LOSE SPEED. THE COOLANT LIGHT CAME ON AND A HIGH PITCH, WHINING SOUND CAME FROM THE ENGINE. WE IMMEDIATELY HAD TO GET OFF THE INTERSTATE. THERE IS NO WARNING AND THE CAR STARTS TO LOSE POWER. THE RPM'S GO UP. WE PULLED OFF TO THE SIDE, THE CAR IS IN LIMP MODE. NO POWER AND WILL NOT START. CALLED DODGE 3-4 TIMES AND THEY ONLY HAD RECORD OF 2. THIS HAS HAPPENED 10 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS ON THE INTERSTATE. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE LONG DISTANCE. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP TO BE LOOKED AT AND THEY SAID IT WAS A SERVICE PROBLEM. IT IS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION AND THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL BEFORE THERE IS A FATALITY. WHEN YOU TALK TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE CASE MANAGEMENT OR THE DEALERSHIP YOU GET THE RUN AROUND AS TO WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR WHAT MILEAGE THE ACTUAL TRANSMISSION SERVICE SHOULD BE DONE. I DO KNOW THAT YOUR LIFE SHOULD NOT BE IN JEOPARDY IF IT IS A SERVICE ISSUE. WHEREAS THIS IS A DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. CHRYSLER INITIATED THE CALL BACK AFTER THEY KNEW I HAD MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO GET THE CAR LOOKED AT. I HAVE GOTTEN DIFFERENT STORIES FROM BOTH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE CASE MANAGEMENT AND THE DEALERSHIP AS TO JUST HOW MANY OF THE 2010 DODGE CALIBERS HAVE THIS TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. WHEN I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY HADN'T SEEN ANY THAT WENT INTO LIMP MODE, BUT AFTER THEY DID THEIR DIAGNOSTIC THEY SAID THEY HAD SEEN 100'S. THAT'S A BIG DISCREPANCY!!! I DO NOT WANT ANYONE TO BECOME A STATISTIC!!! *TR

DATES & MILEAGE ARE APPROXIMATE. I'M NOT A MECHANIC AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHICH PART WOULD BE CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I GUESSED. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 10 TIMES OVER THE PAST 3 YEARS. MY 16 YR OLD GRANDDAUGHTER RECENTLY TOLD ME HER OLDER CALIBER DID THE SAME THING! THIS LEAD ME TO BELIEVE IT IS A SAFETY/POWER ISSUE WITH THE MODEL. WHY WOULD THIS JUST BE HAPPENING TO OUR 2 VEHICLES? HER VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN GA AND MINE IN MI. I DO A LOT OF FREEWAY DRIVING. EACH TIME THIS OCCURRED, I WAS DRIVING ON FREEWAYS AT 70 MPH FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. I TAKE AN EXIT. WHEN I DEPRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO TURN OFF THE EXIT RAMP, THE ENGINE COMPLETELY "BOGS DOWN". THERE IS VERY LITTLE POWER. EACH TIME, I HAVE CALIBRATED TIME FOR SAFELY PULLING OUT INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC, EXPECTING TO HAVE NORMAL POWER. SUDDENLY, I HAVE LITTLE TO NO ACCELERATION AND IT SEEMS LIKE IT MAY STALL OUT! YOU CAN IMAGINE THE FEAR OF NOT BEING ABLE TO CLEAR ONCOMING TRAFFIC IN TIME. THE LOW POWER CONTINUES FOR ABOUT A MINUTE, THEN RESUMES NORMAL OPERATION. I HAVE BEEN FORTUNATE ENOUGH THAT NO ACCIDENT HAS OCCURRED, BECAUSE IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO GET OVER TO THE SHOULDER. ACTUALLY, THIS IS SO DANGEROUS, I CAN'T EXPLAIN WHY I HAVEN'T HAD IT CHECKED OUT, BESIDES INCONVENIENCE AND STUPIDITY. WHEN MY GRANDDAUGHTER TOLD ME ABOUT HER CAR, THAT REALLY SCARED ME AND PROMPTED ME TO ACT. I'VE ALSO COME TO REALIZE THAT I'M PUTTING OTHER DRIVERS IN DANGER OF INJURY OR DEATH. PLEASE LET ME KNOW ASAP IF THERE'S BEEN A RECALL OR SHOULD BE ONE ON THESE VEHICLES. I HAVE TO BELIEVE THERE ARE MANY MORE OUT THERE EXPERIENCING THE SAME DANGEROUS MALFUNCTION AND POSSIBLY INJURIES OR DEATH. *TR

NOTICED LOSS IN ACCELERATION POWER HERE AND THERE OVER A FEW MONTHS TIME AS WELL AS THE ECT LIGHT FLASH ON FOR A QUICK MOMENT A FEW TIMES. ONE DAY I WAS DRIVING AND CAME TO A STOP LIGHT AND WHEN I TRIED TO TAKE OFF FROM THE STOP THE WHOLE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND KNOCKING THEN CUT OFF ALL WHILE HAVING THE ETC LIGHT ILLUMINATED. ONCE THIS HAPPENED I COULD BARELY MAKE IT UP THE STEEP HILL BACK TO MY HOME. I ENDED UP HAVING THE CAR TOWED AND TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I WAS INFORMED I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE THROTTLE BODY CONTROL UNIT FOR AROUND $700! I HAVE ONLY HAD THIS CAR 2 AND 1/2 YEARS AND THIS IS NOT THE FIRST MAJOR ISSUE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THE ECT THAT THEY ARE USING I ALSO HAVE A 2012 JEEP COMPASS THAT I HAVE HAD 2 MONTHS AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. *TR

WHILE DRIVING HOME FROM WORK THE CARS SPEED SUDDENLY DECREASED AND THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. PULLED OVER SAFELY AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. LIGHT REMAINED ON. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY MUST BE REPLACED. THE WHOLE THING MUST BE REPLACED SINCE IT'S COMPLETELY SEALED AND YOU CANNOT ACCESS PARTS INSIDE IT. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY LOST SPEED AND THEN IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 30MPH. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 70000 MILES ON IT. DID SOME CHECKING ONLINE AND THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH CALIBERS. *TR

WHILE PULLING INTO TRAFFIC FROM A PARKING LOT, THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE, DESPITE MY BEST ATTEMPTS, FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL SECONDS OF COASTING AND THE PEDAL PUSHED ALL THE WAY DOWN, THE VEHICLE JUMPED INTO ACCELERATION. DURING THIS INCIDENT, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, WHO RAN THE CODE AND IT SAID P0455 LARGE EVAC LEAK. THE DEALER RAN THE ESIM TEST AND VAC TEST WITH NO RESULTS. THEY TOLD ME THAT I PROBABLY HAD A LOOSE GAS CAP. I HAD NOT BEEN AT THE GAS STATION IN DAYS. ALSO, WHEN THE GAS CAP IS LOOSE, AN ERROR ABBREVIATION FOR GAS CAP SHOWS UP IN THE MILEAGE READOUT AND DOES NOT COME BACK ON AFTER THE CAP IS TIGHTENED. I HAVE NEVER HAD THE INCIDENT DESCRIBED ABOVE OCCUR BECAUSE OF A LOOSE GAS CAP. NO FURTHER WORK OR DIAGNOSIS WAS DONE ON THE VEHICLE. *TR

WHENEVER I HAVE THE LIGHTS ON, RADIO ON, FAN BLOWER ON, AND I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT IN DRIVE MODE (AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION), THE ENGINE SHAKES AND DIES. IT'S ALMOST AS IF THE CAR IS EXPERIENCING COMPUTER OVERLOAD. TOO MANY THINGS GOING ON FOR THE CAR TO HANDLE SO THE COMPUTER CRASHES CAUSING THE CAR TO DIE. THE CAR ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP. NO INDICATOR LIGHTS GO OFF ON THE DASH. IT ONLY HAPPENS OCCASIONALLY UNDER THE ABOVE MENTIONED CIRCUMSTANCES. IF YOU ADD ON THE FRONT & REAR WIPERS SAME THING HAPPENS. I'VE HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT 3 DIFFERENT PLACES, PAYING AND FOR FREE, AND THEY ALL TELL ME THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ESPECIALLY SINCE I HAVE A BABY IN THE CAR. I HAVE AAA AND ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE THROUGH MY INSURANCE BUT THEY ALWAYS TAKE AN HOUR TO GET TO YOU. I'VE NEVER HAD TO USE THEM BECAUSE THE CAR ALWAYS STARTS BACK UP AGAIN. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE OTHER WISE THE CAR FUNCTIONS NORMALLY AS LONG AS I DON'T HAVE THE LIGHTS ON, RADIO ON, FAN BLOWER ON, AND I'M STOPPED AT A LIGHT IN DRIVE MODE. IF YOU PUT IT IN NEUTRAL SOMETIMES THE CAR WANTS TO STALL BUT IT DOESN'T ALWAYS PREVENT THE CAR FROM SHUTTING DOWN. READ LOTS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS MODEL, SIMILAR ISSUE. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED TWICE AND SPUTTERS AND JERKS INTERMITTENTLY STOPPED AT A LIGHT, RAILROAD CROSSING OR OTHERWISE. WHEN IT STALLS I AM ABLE TO RESTART IT. IT HAS BEEN SEEN ON 5 DIFFERENTLY OCCASIONS AND THE DEALERS STATE IT DOES NOT CODE SO THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT. TO DATE, (APRIL 11-2013) THE VEHICLE CONTINUES TO SPUTTER AND STALL AND DODGE DEALER SAYS IT DOES NOT CODE SO THEY CAN NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS IS A VERY CONVENIENT EXCUSE FOR NOT FIXING A VEHICLE THAT IS STILL UNDER MFG WARRANTY. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE! THIS IS AN ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND I HOPE ITS NOT A BAD ONE. *TR

THE VEHICLE STALLS AT THE LIGHTS OR AT A STOP SIGN. NO OTHER TIME, FOR NO REASON IT SPUTTERS A LITTLE AND THEN STALLS. IT STARTS RIGHT AWAY. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND BECAUSE THEIR COMPUTER DOESN'T FIND ANYTHING,THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG, WELL EVIDENTLY THERE IS, AS IT SHOULDN'T STALL FOR NO REASON. I HAD THE SPARK PLUGS CHANGED AND STILL STALLS. FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ON LINE AFTER PURCHASING THE CALIBER MANY, MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, THIS COULD BE A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE IF THE CAR DECIDES TO STALL WHILE THE CAR IS IN MOTION. I AM HOPING VIA THIS EMAIL THAT SOMEONE CAN LOOK INTO THIS. THANK YOU *TR
