I totally agree and that is why I only comment on MY Calibers and never say ALL Calibers have problems, are junk or whatever. The nature of an auto forum causes this trend, 9 times out of 10 members are here posting questions/complaining about problems. Rarely is it just to speak positively about their vehicle. Those people are out having fun driving! Read More...

I would say March12 will be a good date because if you can go by posts on another forum several people have picked up their CSRT4s with the Kicker sound system installed,my only comment is that I expected the woofer to be built into sidewall but they stuck it in the cargo area up against the back of the seats.

The one option I ordered that apparently held up the order was the 13 speaker, kick ass sound system. You wouldn't have thought that would have stumped them. I've done inventory searches on many Dodge dealers and I do find them on the lot but none with the sound system ordered. I now have a tentative ship date of 03/12 but the order hasn't gone to the KZ build code yet. ... Read More...

I owned a 2008 Dodge Caliber for eight months and it stalled on me and didn't start on me a couple of times. The dealership shop gave me all kinds of reasons along with "we can't duplicate the problem". They even tried updating the software. I never had a car with software issues. I finally got rid of the car... too many headaches. Read More...

I realize caliberchic you did not have a great experience with your Calibers but you have to admit in general of the 190,000 or so Calibers sold the only ones you see generally posting are those who are looking for help or answers to what they interpet as a problem. There are lemons in every carline and unfortunately they get bought many times by people who just want ... Read More...

I don't know where you are located or what customization you ordered on your CSRT4 but there are many on the road already in southern Ontario and in eastern US,several local dealers have them sitting on their lots. Other than the traditional problems that come up with the tuners or modders 4 things stand out in all problem posts I have read on CSRT4 those are: 1-Dealers ... Read More...

I'd like to find out. I've had a 2008 SRT4 on order since Nov. 5th 2007. I think 4 months is long enough to wait for a "sold-car order". Hopefully these problems will be worked out on the turbo-engine model. Read More...
