TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2009 DODGE CALIBER. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE HIT A BUMP AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO JOHN ELWAY'S CLAREMONT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (620 AUTO CENTER DR, CLAREMONT, CA 91711, (909) 962-7462) WHERE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD BEEN INFORMED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 166,000.

THE VEHICLE STARTED SHAKING AND PULLING TO THE RIGHT I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A BODY SHOP TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD THE FRAME WAS ROTTED. I CALLED MY LOCAL DODGE DEALERSHIP AND THEY INFORMED ME THERE WAS NO RECALLS OR WARRANTY FOR THE VEHICLE. ATTACHED IS THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHICH STATES THIS SHOULD BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY. THE COST TO FIX THIS ISSUE WILL COST 1700 DOLLARS THATS THE PRICE I WAS QUOTED. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS I CANT AFFORD TO FIX IT AND ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE INJURIES OR DEATH IF IT BREAKS WHILE DRIVING. IF YOU CANT HELP PLEASE HELP ME FIND THE HELP I NEED.

SPECIFICALLY, IN MY MODEL SAFETY BELT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE SECURELY FASTENED (I.E., CLICKED IN BUCKLE) IN ORDER FOR CHIME TO STOP. THIS IS A NO-NO. IN FACT, IF I HOLD THE UNSECURED BELT IN MY LEFT HAND WHILE HOLDING THE WHEEL AT THE SAME TIME, THE CHIME WILL STOP. IF, HOWEVER, I LET IT RETRACT SLIGHTLY TOWARD THE WINDOW, THE CHIME WILL COME BACK ON. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. ONLY WHEN BELT IS FULLY BUCKLED SHOULD THE CHIME CEASE. WHILE THIS DOES NOT POSE A LIFE-THREATENING EMERGENCY, IT CERTAINLY IS A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS TO BE FURTHER INVESTIGATED.

I BOUGHT MY CAR ABOUT A WEEK AGO WITH 100,000 MILES ON IT AND THE DAY TREE WE BROUGHT IT HOME WHEN WE ARE DRIVING IT WILL START TO GO BACK AND FORTH, LIKE STALL/ CHUG FOR A SPLIT SECOND THEN GO BACK WHILE IN MOTION, IT DOESN'T MATTER HOW SLOW OR FAST I'M GOING IT DOES IT WHENEVER I AM DRIVING. I CAN'T WAIT FOR IT TO JUST DIE AND GET IT FIXED I NEED THIS FIXED NOW AND I CAN NOW SEE AFTER RESEARCHING THERE ARE MANY 2009 DODGE CALIBERS ON RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE BUT MINE ISN'T AND I'M CONFUSED AS TO WHY AND NEED THIS TO BE FIXED ASAP.

MY VEHICLE FOR MY YEAR HAS A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION POWER CONTROL MODULE, I CALLED TO GET IT SORTED OUT AND EVERYONE TELLS ME MY SPECIFIC VIN DOES NOT MATCH ANY RECALLS, IRONICALLY MY CHECK GONE LIGHT HAS COME ON FOR THIS EXACT REASON. I WAS DRIVING AND FROM WHAT I EXPERIENCED THE CAR DID SHUT OFF AND I HAD TO RESTART IT ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

I'M NOT SURE WHAT IS HAPPENING. ALL OF A SUDDEN IT WON'T KEEP A CHARGE. I HAVE PUT TWO BATTERIES AND 3 ALTERNATORS ON. ALL DONE BY MECHANICS. THEY SAID IT WAS SOMETHING ELECTRICAL. I HAVE RAN OUT OF MONEY DUE TO AN ILLNESS AND CAN'T DRIVE MY CAR. I WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED BUT WILL HAVE TO WAIT A WHILE. I DO LIVE MY CAR AND IT WAS FINE AND JUST STARTED DRAINING THE BATTERY AND RUINING ALTERNATORS. MY CAR WAS JUST SITTING IN MY DRIVEWAY AND WAS DEAD AND HAD TO GET A JUMP TO GO TO WORK. THIS HAS BEEN SINCE MAY OF 2018. THANKS FOR READING THIS.
