What owners wrote

This standard transmission 2010 dodge caliber continually stalls out when the car is in neutral, such as at intersections, railroad crossings, toll booths, and parking lots. It usually takes five to ten minutes of attempts before the car will restart. This poses a serious safety problem because often trucks or other cars driving up behind me barely slow down in time, even though my flashers are blinking.

Reported at 28,000 miles, August 2011

I've had the arm bar and ball joint replaced twice in a year's time, which causes a grinding noise. I've had the brakes replaced three times along with rattle clips, in the last year, with no prevail in changing the noise nor high speed-braking oscillating. A caliper has also been replaced. While sitting at stop lights, the car unpredictably stalls-- I've tried to reproduce the setting to have the issue happen when a technician tests it, but it appears to happen unpredictably.
