2007 DODGE CALIBER — Complaint #815886
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:IGNITION:MODULE filed September 22, 2010
NHTSA complaint #815886 (ODI reference 10356990) concerns a 2007 DODGE CALIBER and was filed on September 22, 2010. The owner reports the failure occurred on September 1, 2010. The vehicle had 45,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Minnesota based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as electrical system:ignition:module, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same DODGE CALIBER cohort independently describe similar electrical system:ignition:module failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2007 DODGE CALIBER shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
I HAVE A 2007 DODGE CALIBER. I CAN REMOVE THE KEY FROM THE IGNITION WITHOUT PUTTING THE CAR IN "PARK". THIS ALLOWS THE CAR TO ROLL WHEN IT IS NOT ON. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN, AS I HAVE ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS EXITED THE CAR, AT WHICH TIME IT BEGINS TO ROLL AWAY. THERE IS CURRENTLY A RECALL FOR CERTAIN 2010 CHRYSLER PRODUCTS (NHTSA CAMPAIGN #10V200000). I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE EXTENDED TO INCLUDE 2007, IF NOT THE YEARS IN BETWEEN AS WELL. *TR
