I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT AND HAVE IT REG. SERVICE I WAS LOOKING TO HAVE A OIL CHANGE AND A STICKER. THEY CHANGED MY OIL 29.00 AND REJECTED MY CAR FOR A ROTTED FRAME AND TOLD I SHOULD NOT DRIVE IT. SERVICE MANAGER ALSO TOLD ME THEY CHRYSLER WOULD PAY FOR THE PART $4500.00 AND LABOR BUT I WAS RESPONSIBLE FOR $300.00 DED. AND ALL THE PARTS THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED IF ANY WERE DAMAGED, MOTOR MOUNTS ETC. NO LOANER OR RENTAL THIS WAS NOT MY BAD THE CAR WAS GREAT TILL THAT DAY I HAVE A $5000.00 LOAN AND OVER $5000.00 WORTH OF WORK TO GET A STICKER. WHEN I WENT IN TO SCH. WORK THEY SAID DEAL OFF, PART WAS SENT BACK I CRIED FOR REAL. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER, THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE PART NEEDED TO COMPLETE THE REPAIR WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000. ..UPDATED 07-17-13 *BF ON MAY 30, 2013 THE CONSUMER REPLACED THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER FOR A SECOND TIME. THE LAST ONE, ONLY LASTED FOR 30,000 MILES. UPDATED 07/18/13

THE SUBFRAME (WHICH HOLDS UP THE ENGINE) HAS THOROUGHLY RUSTED THROUGH CREATING THE DANGER OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FALLING FROM THE FRAME. I AM TOLD THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED A DEFECT IN MATERIALS USED TO CONSTRUCT CARS IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH OF 2004 AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES FOR THOSE VEHICLES. AS MINE WAS PRODUCED 4 MONTHS LATER THEY ARE DENYING ANY LIABILITY AND REFUSING ANY ASSISTANCE. THE DEFECT IS IDENTICAL TO ONE THAT IS COVERED ON CARS MADE 4 MONTHS PRIOR , AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE MATERIAL USED ON MY VEHICLE IS NOT FROM THE DEFECTIVE BATCH. I MAY HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS BUT THEY CANNOT PROVIDE A METHOD TO IDENTIFY THOSE DEFECTIVE PARTS. CHRYSLER IS UNWILLING TO EVEN EXAMINE THE VEHICLE, INSTEAD USING THE VIN AS THEIR ONLY REFERENCE AS TO COVERAGE. I FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT WHEN I REFERENCED OTHERS RECEIVING ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE THE PARAMETERS OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I WAS TOLD THAT BASED ON CUSTOMER LOYALTY THERE MAY BE ASSISTANCE FOR SOME BUT IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME. I AM CONCERNED THAT CUSTOMER LOYALTY PLAYS A ROLE IN THE SAFETY OF THEIR (PAST) CUSTOMERS. I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE EXPECT THEIR FRAME TO FAIL IN 8 YEARS BUT THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR FOR BOTH PASSENGERS AND ANY VEHICLE AROUND THEM WHEN AN ENGINE FALLS FROM A CAR. HOW MANY COMPLAINTS ARE NEEDED BEFORE ACTION IS TAKEN? *TR

I OWN A 3005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN REGULARLY TO THE DEALER FOR OIL CHANGES REPAIRS AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE. TODAY MY HUSBAND NOTICED SOME RUSTING OF THE FRAME THAT THE ENGINE SITS IN SO I WENT TO DEALER AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT AND THEY AGREED AND WERE SURPRISED THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING AND IT SHOULDN'T. I WAS TOLD IT SHOULD BE FIXED IS VERY UNSAFE AND THE COST IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SIMPLY SAID SORRY NOT A RECALLED VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY TOLD ME TO FIX IT AND SAVE THE RECEIPT IN CASE THERE IS A FUTURE RECALL. I AM VERY UPSET BY THIS RESPONSE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY KIDS AS WELL AS MYSELF ANY WHERE IN A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY OUR SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN FOR CHRYSLER. I WILL MAKE SURE NO ONE I KNOW BUYS A CAR FROM THIS COMPANY ESPECIALLY AFTER FINDING OUT THAT SO MANY OTHER PACIFICAS HAVE THIS SAME PROBLEM. IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN RECALLED. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE UNCONTROLLABLE. I PULLED OVER AND TURNED THE CAR OFF AND TURNED IT BACK ON TO SEE IF THAT REST SOMETHING. IT DID NOTHING, I DROVE THE CAR 3 MILES VERY SLOWLY TO THE AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THEY TOLD ME 3 OF THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKE, WHICH CAUSED THE ENGINE TO MOVE AND REST UPON THE FRONT AXLES. THEY SAID THAT IS A CULPRIT OF THE CAR SHAKING. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 110,000. *TR

DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND THE CAR STARTED SHAKING AND THEN SOMETHING SOUNDED LIKE IT SNAPPED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS ALMOST LOCKED AND COULD NOT STEER. HAD IT TOWED TO THE MECHANICS AND HE SAID THE UNDER FRAME AND THE BRACKETS ATTACHED FROM THE CHASIS TO THE FRAME HOLDING UP THE ENGINE HAD BROKEN OFF. I GOT HOME LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THERE ARE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT RUSTING IN THE UNDER FRAME AND THAT IT IS A VERY UNSAFE CONDITION. *TR

TWO MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT MY PACIFICA MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS CONTINUED TO COME ON EVEN AFTER IT WAS FIXED. APPARENTLY IT IS THE SENSOR THAT KEEPS HAVING ISSUES. IT READS A DIFFERENT SPEED THAN THE OTHER SENSORS. ALSO I KEEP HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON RANDOMLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR EVALUATION 3 TIMES AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME I NEED TO TURN THE GAS CAP SO MANY TIMES TO STOP THIS FROM COMING ON. THIS ACTUALLY DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AS IT IS STILL CONTINUES TO COME ON AND TURN OFF RANDOMLY. AGAIN I ASSUME A SENSOR, THE AUTOMOTIVE PLACES ARE SURE I JUST NEED TO TURN THE CAP,HOW MANY TIMES WILL IT NEED TO BE TURNED 20 CAUSE 3, 4, 5 ,6 NONE OF THESE STOP THE PROBLEM, SUPER ANNOYING CHRYSLER CANNOT JUST FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY MADE THE CAR IT CANNOT BE THAT HARD TO FIX. *TR

JUST HAD A STATE INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE DONE ON MY 2005 PACIFICA. THE TECHNICIAN PUT MY CAR ON A LIFT AND POINTED OUT MULTIPLE AREAS WHERE THE ENGINE CRADLE FRAME IS RUSTING OUT. HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS ON A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE. AS IT TURNS OUT, WHILE INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSB AND OTHER WEB SITES, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AND IS APPARENTLY OF LITTLE CONCERN TO CHRYSLER. THEY HAVE OFFERED SOME PEOPLE HELP AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOLD "TOO BAD", BASED ON SOME ARBITRARY MANUFACTURE DATE RANGE. THIS IS EVEN THOUGH THE DEFECT IS THE SAME NO MATTER THE MANUFACTURE DATE. THIS TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CONSUMERS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. WHILE MY CAR HAS PASSED THIS INSPECTION, WITHOUT CORRECTION, IT WILL NEVER PASS AGAIN. THIS WAS NOT A LOW COST VEHICLE AND IF CHRYSLER WAS AWARE OF THIS SAFETY ISSUE WHY WAS I NOT CONTACTED. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOME KIND OF SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH INJURIES OR DEATH TO RESPOND PROPERLY? I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ON THIS ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THEY WOULD NOT HELP ME. "THANK YOU FOR CONTACTING THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR RECENT CONTACT REGARDING YOUR VEHICLE. WE FULLY APPRECIATE YOUR CONCERN, PARTICULARLY IN VIEW OF THE EXPENSE AND INCONVENIENCE INVOLVED, HOWEVER, WE ARE UNABLE TO ACCOMMODATE YOUR REQUEST FOR OUT-OF-WARRANTY CONSIDERATION. THE VEHICLE HAS EXCEEDED THE TIME AND/OR MILEAGE LIMITATIONS OF THE WARRANTY (OR WARRANTIES) WE OFFERED ON TH

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 126K MILES. I RECENTLY HAD MY TIRES ROTATED AND IT WAS NOTICED THAT I HAD SIGNIFICANT RUSTING ON THE RIGHT FRONT SUBFRAME. THE FRAME IS NOT A MOVING PART AND SHOULD NOT WEAR OUT WITH A NORMAL LIFE EXPECTANCY OF THE CAR. THEY STATED IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND RECOMMENDED REPLACEMENT. I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY AND MY VEHICLE IS NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON SOME VEHICLES. I WAS DISAPPOINTED THAT THEY SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I POINTED OUT TO THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP THAT THERE A LOT OF COMPLAINTS NOTED ONLINE AND ON THIS SITE. SHE SAID MY INFORMATION WAS NOTED AND IF I GOT THE VEHICLE FIXED TO KEEP THE RECEIPT IN CASE THE EXTENDED WARRANTY IS BROADENED. I HOPE CHRYSLER LOOKS INTO THIS FURTHER. *TR

DRIVING TO WORK AT 5:30 AM, THE GAS PEDAL BEGAN TO STICK AND THE CAR WAS SLOWING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY, SO TO KEEP UP WITH TRAFFIC, I DEPRESSED IT HARDER TO MAKE THE CAR GO AT LEAST 65, IT WENT ALL THE WAY DOWN FREELY AS IF IT HAD NO STOPPING POINT BUT THE CAR CONTINUED TO SLOW. ALL THE TIME THE ENGINE WAS RACING ABOUT AS FAST AS MY HEART AND MIND. SCARED AND PRAYING NOT TO INJURE ANYONE, I TRIED AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND THE PEDAL CAUGHT IT SELF AND BEGAN TO REACT NORMALLY FOR A ABOUT 30 SECONDS WITH IT STUCK AGAIN AND THE CAR'S ENGINE BEGAN A SOUND OF RUSHING AND THE CAR BEGAN TO COAST. I PROCEEDED OFF THE HIGHWAY COASTING AND THE PEDAL CAUGHT AGAIN AND I WAS ABLE TO PULL IN TO WORK. I AM DEATHLY AFRAID TO DRIVE MY CAR... *TR

A WEEK AGO I SMELLED AN AWFUL BURNING SMELL COMING FROM MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC FOR INVESTIGATION AND REPAIRS NEEDED. THE CAR NEEDED AN ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP AND SERPENTINE BELT. WHILE THEY WERE FIXING THIS PROBLEM I TOLD THEM TO INVESTIGATE THE RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONTEND. THEY FOUND THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTING AWAY. THE GARAGE SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT CHRYSLER AS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PACIFICAS BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE EXTENDED WARRANTIES BEING OFFERED FOR THIS ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW THE VEHICLE WAS TREATED AND BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY. KEEP IN MIND I AM A STUDENT AND NOW HAVE A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE AND CHRYSLER COULD CARE LESS!! THE FIGHT DOES NOT END HERE. PLEASE CONTACT ME IF YOU ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WHAT YOUR OUTCOME HAS BEEN. *TR

I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE OF SEVERE CORROSION AND RUST OF THE FRAME AND CROSS MEMBER OF THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS BEEN PROPERLY MAINTAINED AND SERVICED. ON RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET. IT APPEARS THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT BUT A COMMON PROBLEM FOR PACIFICA. CHRYSLER HAS SERVICE BULLETINS ADVISING SERVICE PERSONAL TO LOOK FOR THIS PROBLEM. THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL AND AS A RESULT THEY WILL NOT ASSIST IN THE REPAIR OF THIS VEHICLE. I FEEL THAT IT IS A PRODUCT FLAW AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. MUCH LIKE THE RUSTING PROBLEM WITH THE TOYOTA TUNDRA TRUCKS. THIS VEHICLE WAS IN MA FROM 2005 TO 2011 AND NOW IS IN FL. *TR

I AM CONTINUOUSLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. IT CONSTANTLY RUNS OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH I MAY HAVE RECENTLY PUT GAS IN. THE GAUGE IS ALWAYS FLOATING BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL, BUT WITHIN DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WILL DROP DOWN ON "E" AND THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON. I'VE HAD THE FUEL LINE AND TANK CHECKED FOR BLOCKAGE, BUT THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC SAYS THAT THERE'S NOTHING BLOCKING EITHER. I MUST MAKE FREQUENT STOPS TO PUT GAS IN AGAIN, BUT AT NO TIME WILL IT ALLOW ME TO PUMP MORE THAN $10-$15 WORTH OF GAS (REGARDLESS OF THE GAS PRICES). KNOWING THAT I'VE JUST PUT GAS IN, I'LL CONTINUE TO DRIVE A WHILE, BUT THEN THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE IT HAS SHUT DOWN AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL EITHER COME ON OR BE ON. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS OR MAYBE A RECALL THAT EFFECTS MY VEHICLE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO TO GET HELP ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THERE IS A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL THAT IS SEEPING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE CAR. IT SEEMS TO APPEAR AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH AND IS VERY STRONG IN THE LAST WEEK. AT 125,000 MI THE ABS SENSORS TURNS ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. WHEN YOU FIRST PRESS THE BRAKES IT DOES NOT GRAB THE ROTORS AND CONTINUES TO NOT STOP UNTIL THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES PERFORM NORMAL. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE THE CAR ALMOST WENT THRU SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS WITHOUT STOPPING. THE FUEL INDICATOR DROPS TO ALMOST EMPTY WHEN IT FALLS BELOW HALF A TANK FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. *TR

HAD OUR 2005 PACIFICA IN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE AT LOCAL DEALER. THEY "NOTIFIED" US THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD CRACKING. WE CHECKED WITH CHRYSLER IF THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN OR RECALL ON THIS 7 YR OLD CAR AND WERE TOLD NO. WE THEN SEARCHED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND A LETTER DATED 11/9/10, WRITTEN BY CHRYSLER, TO THE OWNER OF A'04-05 AGE PACIFICA, INFORMING THEM THE WARRANTY PERIOD ON THEIR FRONT ENGINE CRADLE HAD BEEN EXTENDED TO 10 YRS OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. THE WARRANTY WAS EXTENDED TO VEHICLES IN AREAS OF HIGH ROAD SALT USAGE, AS THEY MAY EXPERIENCE ENGINE CRADLE CORROSION RESULTING IN A "DRIVEABILITY VIBRATION AND/OR SHAKE". WE LIVE AND BOUGHT OUR CAR, IN MINNESOTA WHICH IS A STATE OF "HIGH ROAD SALT USAGE" BUT CHYSLER WILL NOT BACK THE WARRANTY EXTENSION TO US BECAUSE THE CAR'S FIRST OWNER WAS IN NEVADA (WE ARE THE 2ND OWNER). WE FEEL THE LETTER WRITTEN BY CHRYLSER CLEARLY SHOWS THEY ARE AWARE AND ADMIT THE ENGINE CRADLE IN THIS CAR IS SUBJECT TO CORROSION BUT THEY WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. THIS DENIAL PUTS THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD, AT CLEAR RISK OF INCIDENT. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ISSUE A RECALL TO FIX ADMITTED AND VERY SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

TOOK 2005 PACIFICA TO OUR MECHANIC TO CHECK A NOISE IN THE FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRAME CROSS-MEMBER WAS SEVERELY PERFORATED BY RUST AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO FLEXING. THIS CROSS MEMBER SUPPORTS THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND FRONT SUSPENSION COMPONENTS. ON-LINE RESEARCH SHOWS A NUMBER OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR THE 2004 AND 2005 MODEL YEARS. MECHANIC CALLED A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT A RECALL (#13-001-12) WAS ISSUED BY CHRYSLER BUT THAT OUR VEHICLE DID NOT FALL WITHIN THE SPECIFIED DATE RANGE. TOOK PHOTOS OF THE DAMAGE AND ARE AWAITING REPAIR ESTIMATES. WILL CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER HOWEVER OTHERS REPORT THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS REFUSED TO FIX THIS FAILURE OCCURRING IN VEHICLES BEYOND THE RECALL DATES. *TR

WHILE TURNING INTO THE BANK PARKING LOT AT 10MPH THE CAR JUST STALLED. I WAS UNABLE TO BRAKE OR STEER OUT THE WAY. WHEN GAS GAUGE READS EMPTY I AM UNABLE TO FILL THE TANK WITH GAS AS IT BEGINS TO SPILL BACK OUT. GAS GAUGE READS 1/2 FULL WHEN IT IS REALLY EMPTY? MILES TO EMPTY SENSOR INCORRECT THEREFORE I HAVE NO IDEA WHEN I NEED GAS. DRIVER SIDE EXTERIOR HEADLAMP SEEMS DIMMER THAN THE OTHER LAMP. AFTER REPAIRING THE ENTIRE FRONT END(SUSPENSION) STILL SOUNDS LIKE THE FRONT END IS GOING TO FALL APART WHEN DRIVING ON OHIO ROADS. FELT IT WAS NECESSARY TO DOCUMENT AS I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. *TR

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR! I WILL START WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT DIDN'T ALMOST KILL MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. THE ABS LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND THE DEALER HAD NO RESOLUTION. THE CAR WOULD STALL WHILE TURNING. I REPLACED THE BATTERY FIVE TIMES IN FOUR YEARS. WHILE IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE DRIVERS SEAT RECLINED BY ITSELF, WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTROLS AND STARTED SMOKING! THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM! LASTLY, WHILE DRIVING MY SONS TO SCHOOL, THE CAR WAS HANDLING POORLY AND BECAUSE IT WAS DARK AND RAINING, INITIALLY I BELIEVED THAT IT WAS WET ROAD CONDITIONS. TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR, I WAS TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE AND MY SPEED WAS APPROX. 30 MPH. UPON APPROACHING THE TOP OF A SMALL HILL, THE STEERING BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY, AT THIS TIME I BELIEVED THAT THE CAR HAD A FLAT TIRE AND THAT WAS WHAT HAD CAUSED THE POOR HANDLING WHILE DRIVING. I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BUTTON FOR MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND BEGAN TO TRY TO EASE INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND ATTEMPT TO STOP THE CAR. IT WAS INSTANTLY APPARENT THAT THE CAR BRAKES AND POWER STEERING WERE NOT WORKING, WHICH LEFT ME STRUGGLING AT 30 MPH AND ACCELERATING BECAUSE OF THE I WAS NOW ON THE DOWNWARD SIDE OF THE HILL, TO TRY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR! I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM COMPLETELY VEERING TO THE RIGHT AND ULTIMATELY HIT A 5 INCH CONCRETE CURB THAT IS A TURN OUT FOR THE CORNER GAS STATION. UPON HITTING THE CURB THE CAR THEN SPRANG TO THE LEFT BACK INTO THE HIGHWAY LANE. MIRACULOUSLY, NO

DRIVING HOME ON HIGHWAY WITH THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPS FROM1/2 TANK TO EMPTY AND CAR STALLS IMMEDIATELY ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM TOWED TO A GAS STATION WHERE I TRY TO PUT GAS INTO THE TANK AND AM ONLY ABLE TO PUT A GALLON OR TWO IN AT A TIME AS IF THE TANK WERE FULL. PAST 6 MONTHS, THE GAS GAUGE IS INCONSISTENT, DROPS FROM 1/2 TO EMPTY AND AM UNABLE TO PUT MORE THAN A GALLON OR TWO IN AT A TIME. MECHANICS AS WELL AS MYSELF CONTACT CHRYSLER WHO CLAIM THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. I LOOK ON-LINE AND SEE THAT PACIFICA'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I ASK THAT YOU LOOK INTO HOW MY PACIFICA IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IT IS THE SAME YEAR AS OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THOSE ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

EXPERIENCING A VIBRATION/SHAKING IN THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO MY LOCAL MECHANIC AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE K-FRAME ASSEMBLY THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT. MY MECHANIC ADVISED ME THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE COVERED BY A RECENT TSB PUT OUT BY CHRYSLER ON 3/16/12, NUMBER 13-001-12. HOWEVER, UPON READING THE TSB, IT ONLY COVERS THOSE VEHICLES MADE FROM 2/23/04 - 3/31/04. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN MAY 2004. I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE I WAS THE THIRD OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW THE VEHICLE WAS TREATED AND BECAUSE OF THE HIGH MILEAGE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY. I FILED A REPORT WITH THE NH ATTORNEY GENERAL'S OFFICE. I THEN RECEIVED A PHONE CALL FROM CHRYSLER'S CLAIMS INVESTIGATION DIVISION. THEY OFFERED TO PAY FOR ONE PART WHICH COST $1,550 (FRONT CROSS MEMBER). I DID NOT ACCEPT HER OFFER AS THE COST TO REPAIR MY VEHICLE IN FULL WITH ALL NECESSARY PARTS AND LABOR TOTALS $2,362.07. MY CLAIM WAS THEN REFERRED TO THE CHRYSLER BUSINESS CENTER WHO WOULD MAKE A FINAL DECISION AS TO WHETHER OR NOT THEY WOULD REPAIR MY VEHICLE. I EMPHASIZED THAT THIS WAS DEEMED A SAFETY ISSUE BY MY MECHANIC. I ALSO SPOKE WITH A LOCAL CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THEY HAD SEEN 6 OF THESE SAME REPAIRS ON MY EXACT VEHICLE WITHIN THE PAST 12 MONTHS AND THAT THIS SHOULD BE DEEMED A RECALL THROUGH THE MANUFACTURER. ON SEPTEMBER 24, 2012, I RECEIVED A COPY OF A LETTER

ABS WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD IT WORKED ON AND RESET BUT IT KEEPS COMING ON. THE MECHANIC SAYS THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. IT IS BECOMING COSTLY TO KEEP HAVING IT CHECKED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE ARE MANY PACIFICA'S THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AS HE WAS BRAKING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE HEARD FROM THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO INSPECTED THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE REPLACED AT LEAST THREE TIMES BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO RECUR. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED A FOURTH TIME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE RECURRING ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 142,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING A STATE INSPECTION PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE SHE WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000. ..UPDATED 05/10/13 *BF UPDATED 05/31/2013 *JS

ACCESSED THE INTERSTATE. CAR SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND STARTED MAKING A WHINING NOISE. COULD NOT CHANGE SPEED SO HAD TO PULL OVER TO SIDE OF ROAD AND WAIT ON TOW. HAD JUST DONE ROUTINE CHECK/FLUSH FLUID. THERE WERE NO NOTICEABLE TROUBLE DURING DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE PARKED, THE CONTACT PLACED THE VEHICLE IN DRIVE AND NOTICED AN ABNORMAL CLUNKING SOUND.THE ENGINE BEGAN TO REV WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR REPAIR HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE AFTER REPAIRS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT FURTHER REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

I WAS PULLING INTO A LEFT HAND PARKING SPOT WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED/COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST BACKWARDS DOWN A SLOPE AND BACK INTO ANOTHER OPEN PARKING SPOT. I HAD NO POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO DEPRESS. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND LOOKED UP OPEN RECALLS. I FOUND A RECALL SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED, BUT WHEN I CALLED BOTH DAIMLER-CHRYSLER AND A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND GAVE THE LAST 8 CHARACTERS OF MY VIN, THEY INFORMED ME THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. FROM WHAT I RESEARCHED, THIS MIGHT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM QUITE CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY. *TR
