Why is Your 2012 Caliber’s Transmission So Important?

Such problems aren’t hard to spot. 2012 Dodge Caliber transmission problems could include shifting delays, jumping or grinding during acceleration, a feeling of shakiness, or a burning smell or whistling sounds coming from under the hood. Let Dodge Caliber transmission problems linger and you might notice your fuel economy decrease or find that you can't drive your Caliber at all.

Questions About 2012 Dodge Caliber’s Transmission

  • What happens if I "ride" my Dodge's brakes? Riding the brakes (keeping your foot lightly pressed on the brake pedal for a long time) can lead to transmission issues over time. Pay attention to how often you apply your brake and use engine braking when possible.
  • What can I tow in a Dodge? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added weight can cause issues with your transmission if your vehicle isn't equipped to handle the load. Always consult your owner's manual before towing or hauling something.
  • How often does my Caliber transmission fluid need to be checked? Caring for your Dodge Caliber’s transmission fluid is a great way to help it perform. A general rule of thumb is to have your transmission fluid checked and changed about every 30,000 to 60,000 miles, but that timeline can change if you're hard on your Dodge. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Can transmission fluid leak from my Dodge Caliber? Over time, transmission fluid can leak from your Dodge Caliber, potentially causing transmission problems. A transmission fluid leak may be caused by a damaged transmission pan, faulty transmission cooler lines, worn-out seals, a cracked transmission housing, or an overfilled transmission.

  • Is it okay to drive a Caliber with a transmission fluid leak? Driving with a transmission fluid leak is not recommended.
