Q: Dodge Caliber?
Is there a big difference between a Dodge Caliber and a Pontiac Vibe? I can’t decide between the two.

A: Yes these two are built on different platforms one is GM and the other Dodge. meaning they are totally different, I would look at the resale. I have to agree that the vibe needs a revamp on looks. The caliber has a lot of accessories that are unique.

I’d go for the Caliber.

Q: Does the Dodge Caliber have enough space for traveling with a baby?
We are going to be renting a car for a few days in June for a Wedding we are going to out of state and have found that we can rent a Dodge caliber for about the same as a mid-size sedan. We have been wanting to try out the new dodge Caliber (just for fun-won’t be buying another vehicle for a few years), so thought this might be a good time to try it, but want to make sure we will have the cargo space we need. We will be traveling with our 14 month old, so will need to fit the stroller, pack n play and all of our luggage (for two adults and a baby for 3 days, so not too much) plus we will need to put her car seat in the back seat. Anyone know from experience if we will have enough room? I know it will be a tight fit even in a midsize, so we may need to go for a larger vehicle, but if we can fit it all in the Caliber at a lower price, we would be very happy!

A: The Caliber will fit all of you very comfortably. I have one right now and took 2 of my sisters and 2 of their friends on a trip and I was able fit everyone and everything in my car.

Q: How do you move the rear view mirror in a 2008 Dodge Caliber?
just got a 2008 Dodge Caliber and i can’t move the rear view mirror, is there a button that moves it or something? please help!

A: The mirror on the windshield correct? You use your hand. If its the exterior mirrors, you must have manual mirrors. So you will also need to move those by hand.

Q: Should I buy a Dodge Caliber? Does anyone have negative or positive feedback regarding the Caliber? ?
I have test driven a HHR and really enjoyed it. However, I’m not a huge fan of the design. I absolutely love the amount of cargo space. Since I have a lot of music and sports equipment to haul around I need something with significant storage. I really like the Dodge Caliber as well. I hear that they severely lack in performance though. Any thoughts on what I should do would be appreciated.

A: i bought a 2009 caliber last november and i love it they have different models to choose from i have the stx blue it haves a cooler in the glove box sat radio free for a year and now they have a major discount on them . it runs pretty good for the price real good on gas a hhr will be more on gas you can get a all wheel drive one they have some with a neat package which haves a neat hood scoop on it some have tilt down speakers in the hatch for tailgating alot of headroom . some have the Bluetooth in the radio . in all in all i love my car for the price

Q: How many is too many miles for an 07 dodge caliber?
How many is too many miles for an 07 dodge caliber?

A: anything over,30 thousand would be considered high mileage for the year of it,but i have seen some with a lot more than that on them,people are driving more than the national average these days,i wouldn’t buy an 07 if it had over 40 thousand on it though,that would mean your not going to get as many good driving miles from it as one with less miles,the average is about 15 thousand a year,so you can figure it on this amount,good luck.

Q: Would Dodge Caliber be a safe bet car to take for a snowboarding trip?
I’m thinking about renting a car for the snowboarding trip. From what I have researched so far, Dodge Caliber seem like the best opition, value wise and safety wise to rent for the snowboarding trip since it’s AWD and has some good quality of an SUV. Does it have snow tire capability? Since it’s my first trip, I want to be safe as possible. If it isn’t, can someone suggest another good car? Thanks!

A: how abt a Dodge Charger? or a Chevy Malibu

Q: How To Wire Altezza Euro Tail Lights on 2008 Dodge Caliber?
I bought some Altezza euro chrome tail lights for my 2008 Dodge Caliber and want to replace the stock tail lights. The Altezza tail lights have three holes for bulbs as opposed to the stock ones only having two. How do I install these? Do I have to splice the wires or what? Thank you.

A: So the lights didn’t come with a wiring diagram? It will be hard for anyone to tell you here without looking at the new taillights.

Q: How do you reprogram a key fob for a 07 Dodge Caliber?
How do you reprogram a key fob for a 07 Dodge Caliber?

I just purchased a key fob online. I dont want to take it to a dealer unless I really have to.

Is there a “procedure” you can do? Thanks.

A: A key fob is not a Sentry key. The procedure requires a dealer tech or a knowledgeable, well equipped automotive locksmith. These systems are not end user friendly. Most dealers and locksmiths will not even attempt to program fobs/keys not from their stock for liability reasons.

Q: Anyone know of problems with the CVT being used in the Dodge Caliber?
Does anyone know of any problems or concerns with the Continuously Variable Transaxle being used in the Dodge Caliber (or in general)? I have heard they are very expensive if they need to be replaced. Any other problems or concerns? Or personal experience with them? My wife is looking at purchasing one, and we want know of any problems ahead of time if possible. Thanks.

A: CVT’s have been around for a long time…and they are really very simple designs. I would not worry about longevity/durability problems anymore than I would about a Traditional Automatic transmission. Heck…most regular automatics die between 120-150,000miles and cost a bundle!

Is your wife sold on the Caliber? They are nifty looking as a replacement of the old Neon…However, from what I have seen the Fuel Mileage is not nearly as good as some other Compact Wagons on the market…I have been looking at the Ford Focus Wagon lately as a replacement for my aging 98 Escort Wagon and the Focus Wagon is rated at 37mpg highway…whereas the info I have read on the Caliber is upper 20s on the Highway…22-24 in town is all… Just ‘Food For Thought’ with gas hovering at $3.00/gallon with no end in sight… Caliber is neat looking though!

Q: How do you adjust the rear brakes on a Dodge Caliber?
I have a 2007 Dodge Caliber.

I have been told two different ways to adjust the rear brakes.

1. While driving in reverse pump the brake a few times.
2. Pump the emgerency brake.

Which one or both?

And how often should I do it?

Thanks a million!!!

A: should be disk brake is it not.. if its disk you dont have to adjust them but you might have to adjust parking brake.. if its old hub style you can adjust by backing up if everything is working the way it should many time it dont …but there was a slot in the back of plate you used a brake adjustment tool since your car is 07 id say its disk brake all the way around and there wil be no adjustment to be made just pump. what you have been told work on old brakes shoe type not disk brake pads

Q: Is the 2008 Dodge Caliber a reliable vehicle?
I am looking to buy a new vehicle and I know of a 2008 Dodge Caliber that is for sale from a private seller for just $6,800 with just 41,000 miles on it. I have heard that Dodge doesn’t make very reliable vehicles so I just want to know if anyone has any suggestions.

A: So you heard that dodge doesn’t make reliable vehicles? Totally false. Dodge vehicles if taken care of are very reliable vehicles.

Q: I am looking at buying a Dodge Caliber, is it Family Friendly for a family with twins?
I was looking at the Dodge caliber for a new vehicle for my new family. I might be having twins and was wondering if it was a good idea to get this vehicle of I do have twins.

A: this is a supurb car. the rear seat concave making what seems to be a small back seat much roomier than it feels. pluss the hatch back style in great for stoage on all your twins bring along things. One of the most reliable vehicles on the market today. I love mine. I looked at toyota, honda, kia, chevy, and the best value for the money and safty was my caliber.

Q: Are jeep Cherokees, built onthe same platform as a Dodge Caliber?
My wife test drove a Jeep Compass and a Dodge caliber, and decided on the Caliber. (I drivea 94 Cherokee and was hoping to geta second Jeep.) I parked next to a Jeep Compass, and they seem to be the same car. A little Diferant Sheet metal, and Compass seems to have a bit higher suspension, but the roof, body lines, seats dash, width, all seem to be the same. Gonna be bummed out if I paid more money for a Caliber, when I could have gotten the same car with 4 wheel drive, and a better engine.
I love my Cherokee, its what God would drive if needed a Car. Just have a soft spot for anything Jeep. Even the new ugly ones. and thanks, I’m goin to have to havea long discussion with my wife. Thanks guys
Sorry about the typo. I just noticed, The question should be; Are the Dodge Caliber and the Jeep Compass the same platform.

A: your cherokee is built like a jeep, solid front and rear suspension, were the caliber and compass have independent front and rear, so they are more like a car when it comes to ride and handling. your jeep is a real jeep, the compass is not, you would never want to go off roading with a compass. and yes, the caliber and compass have the same plateform, so in a way, there the same car. just different sheet metal like you said.
