Dodge Caliber in Quebec, Canada Jan 2018 - Jun 2018
Jan 2018 75020 mi	My 2009 Dodge Caliber has been sitting in my driveway since mid-January 2018 due to a serious suspension issue (whole front end dropped) and my mechanic advised me to not bother fixing it since I will end up with other suspension issues. I've been thinking of selling it as is or fixing it and selling it.

Dodge Caliber in Mississippi, United States - May 2011
Mar 2011 5232 mi	Ignition switch replaced because car would not turn off even when key was removed.
Apr 2011 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.
May 2011 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. Took trip to carwash after leaving dealer. Sunroof leaks. Water running into overhead light and dripping out.
