I HAVE 2007 CALIBER. I RECEIVED RECALL LETTER ABOUT ACCELERATOR. I IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT IN TO LOCAL DEALER THE PAPERWORK STATED THEY REPROGRAMMED SOMETHING WITH THE TEMP. IT IS NOW A MONTH LATER. CAR STARTED RUNNING HOT A COUPLE WEEKS AGO. A FEW DAYS AGO I GO TO START MY CAR UP AND THE RPMS RAN UP TO 4 AND STAYED THERE WITHOUT GOING DOWN. IT SEEMED LIKE THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK DOWN. IT STAYED LIKE THIS UNTIL I HAD TO SHUT CAR OFF. CALLED DEALER AND THEY ADVISED ME TO NOT TRY TO DRIVE AND HAVE CAR TOWED TO THEM. SPOKE WITH HEAD OF SERVICE AND HE STATED THAT THIS IN NO WAY IS RELATED TO THE RECALL BUT THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT THE RECALL WAS FOR. THEY HAVE HAD THE CAR FOR A DAY NOW AND STILL NO VERDICT. I HAVE APPROX. 62,000 MILES. *TR

I BOUGHT A 2007, DODGE CALIBER. DROVE IT FOR A WHILE. THEN AS I WAS DRIVING IN A SCHOOL X-ING MY ACCELERATOR STUCK. I HAD A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT WITH THE WOMAN STOPPED IN FRONT OF ME. MY CAR WAS TOTALED. A WEEK LATER I RECEIVED A RECALL ON THE ACCELERATOR, AFTER THE DAMAGE WAS DONE. I HAVE HAD NO COMPENSATION, AND AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I MUST WORK. HELP ME PLEASE! *TR

DODGE FAILED TO NOTIFY ME OF A RECALL ON MY GAS PEDAL. DUE TO THIS THE PEDAL STUCK AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE REACHING SPEEDS OF 80+ ON A BACK ROAD. I CONTACTED A DEALER WHICH GOT ME IN THE NEXT DAY BUT IT WAS GOING TO TAKE A DAY TO GET THE PART IN. SO IN THE MEAN TIME I WAS SUPPOSE TO DRIVE MY CAR ON THE ROADS SO THIS COULD STICK AGAIN AND HOPE THAT I WAS AS LUCKY AS THE FIRST TIME WHERE NO ONE WAS HURT. ALSO THERE IS OTHER DAMAGE TO THE BRAKES AND FRONT END FROM TRYING TO STOP THIS BUT THEY ARE NOT GOING TO DO ANYTHING IT HAS TO COME OUT OF MY POCKET. ALSO SINCE I DID NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THE CAR FOR A DAY TILL THE PART CAME IN I WAS GOING TO HAVE TO PAY FOR A RENTAL OUT OF MY POCKET OR DRIVE MY CAR. SO DODGE DID NOT SEE ANY PROBLEM WITH ME DRIVING MY CAR AGAIN. DOES ANYONE ELSE FEEL THIS WAS NOT A SMART THING TO DO THAT THIS WAS UNSAFE. IT IS LIKE SENDING A DEATH TRAP ON THE ROAD TO KILL SOMEONE. DODGE COULD CARELESS ABOUT THE CUSTOMERS OR ANYONE'S LIFE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE BRAKE PEDAL AT 45 MPH ON AN INCLINE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK IN THE OPEN THROTTLE POSITION. THE CONTACT SHIFTED THE VEHICLE INTO PARK AND WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE BY APPLYING THE BRAKES. HE HAD TO REPOSITION THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THE FAILURE PERSISTED FOUR ADDITIONAL TIMES ON THE SAME DAY. THE DEALER REPLACED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL AND STATED THAT THE REPAIR POTENTIALLY WOULD NOT PREVENT THE FAILURE FROM RECURRING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE UNTIL THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED AT LEAST THREE ADDITIONAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 94,000.

WHEN ACCELERATING THE PEDAL STICKS ON MY '07 DODGE CALIBER SXT. CAUSES THE RPM'S TO JUMP AND LOOSE CONTROL OF THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE. IT HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW. JUST RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR THE ACCELERATOR ON A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. THEY INSPECTED IT AND SAID IT WAS NOT WITH IN THE DATES THE MANUFACTURERS GIVEN FOR THE RECALL. TOLD THE DEALERSHIP IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE BEFORE AND THE LAST ONE WAS ABOUT FOUR DAYS BEFORE I GOT THE NOTICE. NOW A FEW DAYS AFTER IT WAS INSPECTED IT HAPPENED AGAIN. READING OTHER COMPLAINTS ON THIS MATTER, I HAVE FOUND COPPER BUSHINGS ON THE FLOOR. IF THEY WERE FROM UNDER THE PEDAL SHOULDN'T THE SERVICE MAN NOTICED THAT IF HE DID CHECK IT? LEAVES ME TO WONDER IF THEY DID INDEED CHECK IT. EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENS MATCHES THE RECALL, SO WHY IT WASN'T JUST FIXED IS BEYOND ME. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. WHILE MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING TO WORK HE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PEDAL STICKING AND ACCELERATING ON ITS OWN. WE BROUGHT IT TO OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND PAID $282.00 TO HAVE THEM INSTALL A NEW GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY. AFTER HEARING ABOUT THIS RECALL I WANTED TO MAKE SURE TO FILE A REPORT/COMPLAINT. I STILL HAVE THE RECEIPT FROM WHEN THE GAS PEDAL ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED. I'M HOPING TO FIND OUT SOME INFORMATION ON HOW TO BE REIMBURSED. PLEASE CONTACT ME VIA PHONE.
