What owners wrote
2008 dodge caliber steering wheel issue. Over a period of time my dodge caliber srt4 steering wheel became loose and moves forward and back called the dodge dealership and they had told me that my car was out of warranty and they would not replace it free of charge and that they would have to replace the whole steering column. When I turn the steering wheel has about a half inch play in it.
