Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: My 2007 dodge caliber has a water leak that allows rain water to enter the vehicle and the january 8th appointment will be the 4th time at the dealership for this same issue. water seems to be entering somewhere in the front of the vehicle and settles under the passenger seat. while "repairing the leak" the first time, the vehicle was returned to me smelling like cigarette smoke, the second time, the trim above the passenger side door was not properly replaced, the third time, a panel underneath the dash on the passenger side fell off (apparently was not replaced properly), they glued the rubber stripping on the passenger side door panel making it impossible to remove my satellite radio antenna and the trim above the passenger side door is still not in place correctly (seems to have been forced into place). also, the person working on my vehicle said he guaranteed that it was fixed after the 3rd time, but it wasn't. vehicle constantly acts as though it is going to stall when idle and also when accelerating from a stop - when accelerating, vehicle hesitates. dealer unable to duplicate this problem. newest issue - when traveling at approx. 55 mph on the highway, all doors mysteriously unlocked themselves. very frustrating and inconvenient... dealer does not offer rental or temporary car even though they have my brand new caliber that i'm paying for even while it's in their possession. this is the second dodge vehicle in a row that we've had problems with - 1st was a 2004 dodge ram 1500 with stalling issues that the dealer could not duplicate. *nm
