Check engine AGAIN!!! - Dodge Caliber SRT-4 Forums

philsh1 · 03-16-2009, 06:59 AM

So my car is at the local Dodge dealer for the fourth time since I have had it. It only has 9K miles. Its the same problem that all of us have seemed to have. Check engine, no boost...limp mode. They say the same thing over and over that they reflash the ecu and everything should be good....but its obviously not. What have any of you done or said to get your problem fixed and what was the actual problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

ask them to check for a leak or something with the vac lines. who knows.

mine is at the dealership too, for the same reason, plus my speakers pop when the vehicle is off, and the headliner rattles louder than the radio, and if anyone knows the answer to the check engine problem, I would like to know too

This is what they told me too. They were bitching about the iridium plugs I put in. So they said they will fix the injectors but they will have to reinstall the stock plugs. I told them that was a load of crap, but to do what they needed to do to fix the problem so I dont need to keep going back!

Go back to the dealer and tell them you are going to call the Better Business Bureau and claim the "Lemon Law" if they don't figure out what's causing it. Under the Lemon Law, I think if you have a repeat problem 3 or more times and the dealer can't fix it they either have to refund your purchase price or give you a new car. This will get their attention!!!
