Dealing with a vehicle that won’t start, stalls unexpectedly, or displays a frustrating check engine light can be a major source of stress.

Expert Insight: The Chrysler NGC3/NGC4 Controller Issue
As a technician with over two decades of experience, I’ve seen countless Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep vehicles from this era with frustrating electronic gremlins. The NGC (Next Generation Controller) used in your Caliber, Patriot, or Compass is a sophisticated unit, but it’s also susceptible to failure from years of heat cycles and engine vibration. Often, the internal circuit board develops microscopic cracks, leading to the intermittent and confusing symptoms you’re experiencing. Buying a used module from a salvage yard might seem cheaper, but it’s a gambleโit could have the same underlying issues and will still require expensive dealer programming to work with your vehicle’s security system. Our Programmed 2007-2010 Dodge Caliber Engine Computer eliminates that risk and expense entirely, providing a reliable and verified component that is ready for immediate installation.
