Ruh-Roh: NHTSA investigating 2007 Dodge Caliber for sticky pedals
Filed under: Budget, Recalls, Safety, Hatchback, Dodge
According to Chrysler, several owners of 2007 model year Dodge Calibers have reported problems with sticky accelerator pedals, causing the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration to launch a full-on investigation. (This sounds familiar, doesn’t it?) And because of the recent high-profile Toyota recall surrounding this very same problem, it only makes sense that NHTSA would seriously consider any sort of similar issue.
Chrysler says that the vehicles in question were built during a five-week period in March and April of 2006, right at the Caliber’s launch. However, the automaker cites that the problem has nothing to do with electronics or mechanics, and that an issue with a parts supplier is what’s causing the problem. No official recall has been issued as of yet, and Chrysler intends to fully cooperate with NHTSA on the investigation.
