Problem overview

Some Dodge Caliber owners report experiencing smoke issues that could indicate serious engine problems. For instance, black smoke from the exhaust may suggest a rich air/fuel mixture, often linked to an increased fuel supply to the engine. Additionally, white smoke emanating from under the hood could signal burning coolant, necessitating checks for fluid leaks and monitoring of the temperature gauge, as persistent white smoke may indicate a coolant leak. Furthermore, blue smoke during hard acceleration is often associated with oil burning in the engine, raising concerns about internal engine issues that require immediate attention. It is crucial for owners to address these smoke issues promptly by consulting a qualified mechanic to prevent further vehicle damage.
