Yeah so I guess Toyotas aren't the only ones with sticky gas pedals
 

:zowned: Calibers = crap, 2nd-worst car I've ever rented (a Sunfire was the worst)

WASHINGTON – Chrysler is recalling nearly 35,000 Dodge Calibers in the United States and around the world to fix a potential problem with sticky gas pedals, the same issue that has affected millions of Toyotas.

Chrysler Group LLC said it will recall about 25,000 Calibers in the U.S. from the 2007 model year and a limited number of 2007 Jeep Compass SUVs to inspect vehicles built between March and May of 2006. The remaining vehicles are in Mexico, Canada and elsewhere.

The pedals were made by CTS Corp., the Elkhart, Ind., company that manufactured pedals involved in the recall of more than 2 million Toyotas earlier this year. Chrysler told NHTSA the pedals were "a completely different design" and made "with different tooling" than the pedals involved in Toyota's recall.

NHTSA opened an investigation into the Chrysler pedals in April. The auto company noted that the small SUVs have "smart brake" technology allowing the brake to override the gas pedal and safely bring the vehicle to a stop. Chrysler said it did not consider the problem a safety defect but decided to conduct a safety recall anyway.

The automaker said it was unaware of any reports of accidents, injuries or property damage related to the pedals. In documents filed with NHTSA, Chrysler estimated that 30 percent of the vehicles covered by the recall may need to have the pedal assembly replaced.

Chrysler dealers will inspect the recalled vehicles and replace affected pedals with a new pedal unit at no charge to customers.

Me and my Toyota...me and my Toyota

I almost got ran over by a dumb bitch driving a caliber. Fuck em.

I'm SOOOOO glad I didn't buy a caliber.

They're butt ugly anyhow.

oh oh,, I have a 2007 Jeep Compass....I really like it and it was the only half affordable 4X4 small suv. winter here sucks crap!

Seems like GM has flame-throwing window washers too.

I just called the dealer on that about my Acadia. The service guy was unaware of any recall. He asked where I heard about the recall and I told him GM.com. He said he couldn't find a recall in the system for 2007 Acadia's. Dumb ass. :lol

I think it is only if you have a windshield washer fluid heater.

I do.
