2007 DODGE CALIBER
This model year
What the record shows
The 2007 Dodge Caliber is a small station wagon, and the 2nd model year of a nameplate NHTSA records from 2006 to 2012.
The EPA rated five configurations: engines from 1.8-litre four-cylinder to 2.4-litre four-cylinder, 4-wheel or all-wheel drive and front-wheel drive, two transmissions and running on regular gasoline.
Combined fuel economy ranges from 22 to 26 mpg depending on which one you have.
The federal record holds 884 owner complaints, 2 safety recalls, 1 investigation and 47 service bulletins for it.
Counts are reports, not rates. A complaint is something an owner chose to file; it is unverified and unadjusted for how many of these cars were sold, so the useful comparison is against other model years of the same car. Recalls and investigations carry more weight because a manufacturer or regulator acted on them.
Reading this report
Complaint counts are reports filed with NHTSA, not failure rates. A common model collects more of them than a rare one that breaks more often.
