Was Vehicle Towed: - Description of the Complaints: Dodge caliber manual transmission with 1.8 l engine. i have had the vehicle stall while driving in slow moving traffic on secondary streets (3x now). the first 2 were within a couple weeks of getting the vehicle new and i thought they were driver related as i was getting used to the clutch. both were situations where i wasn't coming to a full stop- just rolling slowly with the clutch in and then braking a little, letting out the clutch to continue the roll and repeating. but the 3rd was recently where i was making a left turn and slowly letting out the clutch, i was coasting to let a car go by (not coming to a full stop) before making the turn, and as i released the clutch gently to provide the power to turn onto the side street it just stalled and i was left cranking on the steering wheel to avoid hitting the car parked on the corner. i quickly pushed in the clutch and restarted the vehicle, regaining steering and braking power. *jb
