2007 Chrysler Pacifica Awd complaints

VEHICLE PURCHASED NEW 04/2007 HAS HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED TWICE AND STILL HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS HARSHLY, CAUSE A RUMBLING / SHUDDERING SENSATION AT CERTAIN SPEED / LOAD CONDITIONS. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO INTERMITTENTLY REMAINS IN A "LOCK UP" CONDITION WHILE STOPPING AND WILL NEARLY STALL THE ENGINE BEFORE THE CAR IS STOPPED USING MUCH HARDER THAN NORMAL BRAKE PRESSURE. *TR

I HAVE CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS A BAD TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WHEN SHIFTING AND SOMETIMES THE REAR BRAKES WILL LOCK UP. I TOOK IT TO A DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIRS AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN ONLY WHEN YOU GET LIGHTS ON THE DASH OTHER THAN THAT IT IS NORMAL. I'M CURRENTLY WAITING FOR A TUNING VALVE TO BE REPLACED IN THE MOTOR. I'M NOW EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS NOW WITH THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AND GOING OFF. I WAS TOLD AGAIN BY A SERVICE WRITER IT WAS NORMAL UNTIL IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2008 AND IT IS NOW MARCH IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS 4 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND TWICE FOR THE BRAKES AND A TOTAL OF 15 DAYS AND RUNNING. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER CARE SEVERAL TIMES AND HAVE SENT THEM A LETTER AND THEIR RESPONSE TO ME IS KEEP TAKING IT BACK FOR REPAIRS THE CAR HAS 34,000 ON IT NOW AND STILL HAS FACTORY WARRANTY LEFT ON IT. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT AND HAVE IT SITTING IN THE DRIVEWAY BECAUSE THE DEALER IS WAITING FOR THE PARTS TO COME IN TO REPAIR IT. PLEASE IF THERE IS SOMEONE AT CHRYSLER LISTENING CALL ME... *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 20 MPH, THE COMPUTER CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO SHIFT INTO OVERDRIVE. THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED AT A HIGHER SPEED AND THEN SHIFTED TO ITS NORMAL OPERATING SPEED. THE CONTACT DOES NOT RECALL THE SPEED OF THE VEHICLE WHEN IT ACCELERATED. ON OCTOBER 22, 2007, THE VEHICLE WAS DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER FOR THREE WEEKS AND THEY WERE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF THE FAILURE; HOWEVER, THEY COULD NOT REPAIR THE VEHICLE BECAUSE NO REMEDIES WERE AVAILABLE. THEY ALSO STATED THAT THEY HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF WHEN A REMEDY WOULD BE AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED THREE DAYS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED AND CONTINUES TO INTERMITTENTLY OCCUR DAILY. THE CONTACT FILED COMPLAINT NUMBER 168 954 09 ON OCTOBER 31, 2007 AND NOVEMBER 9, 2007 WITH THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 1,000.
