2009 Dodge Caliber 4dr Hatch

158-horsepower 2.0L I4 CVT FWD

70000 mi

US $300
Alternator failure. Alternator replaces 
7200 mi Engine light came on. An audible click, click, click noise behind console. Front windshield wipers lag on left hand sweep. Took it to dealer, they kept it 2 days and could not duplicate the problem. I'll go back when it happens again. 
7250 mi Engine light on again, shut it off. Battery dead next morning. Had it towed to dealer. Today they said it's the total integrated power module aka tipM. It controlls all electrical signals to everything, including wipers a/c and engine. It took over a week to locate a TIPM, apparently manufacturer has them backordered. Got it home, so far everything works. 
1860 mi Replaced tail light - moisture in lens
