I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING FWD THAT WAS PURCHASED IN 2007. SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB 3 TIMES. I HAVE PLACED A CALL TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND ALSO CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR ON ANY RECALLS THAT THEY HAVE.

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR TURNS OF. I HAD MY NIECE IN THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE. I COULD'VE CRASHED AND CAUSED A MAJOR FATAL ACCIDENT. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. LUCKILY I HAD WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES. AND STILL DOES. NOW IM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE MOTOR. I'VE DOESN'T OVER 8000 DOLLARS FIXING THIS CAR OUT OF MY POCKET. THE CAR IS ALMOST PAID OFF. I NEED HELP. I FEEL LIKE CHRYSLER HAS STOLEN MONEY FROM ME SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. NOT FAIR. NOT RIGHT. *TR

MY VERY WELL KEPT 2005 PACIFICA FAILED INSPECTION AT MY LOCAL MECHANIC DUE TO A COMPLETELY ROTTED CROSS MEMBER FRAME. SUBSTANTIAL ROTTING IN MULTIPLE SPOTS. MANY HOLES. TOOK CAR TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY INSPECTED CAR AND TOLD ME THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A WORSE FRAME. QUOTED ME IN WRITING, $5779.98 TO REPAIR!!! OPENED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER TO FIND OUT IF THEY WOULD DO ANYTHING FOR ME. YEA RIGHT. THEY EVEN WENT AS FAR AS TO SAY THE DEALER SAID THEY ONLY GAVE ME A PARTS LIST, NOT A QUOTE. LIARS! SAID IT WAS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR IN NEW YORK. CARS BUILT FROM 2/23/04-3/31/04 WERE GIVEN AN EXTENSION TO 150,000 MILES WARRANTY FOR SUCH PROBLEM. CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. NEEDS TO BE A RECALL! I AM GOING TO REPAIR WITH USED CROSS MEMBER FOR 1500.00 AND I'M SELLING IT AFTERWARDS. DO NOT WANT ANY PART OF CHRYSLER AGAIN! *TR

I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY CHILDREN DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY "MILES TO NEXT SERVICE" LIGHT WAS SAYING MY NEXT SERVICE WAS DUE IN 4555 MILES. HOW ODD, I THOUGHT, BUT DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO PONDER IT FURTHER AS I WAS GOING AROUND AT CURVE AT 45 MILES PER HOUR WITH CARS BOTH BEHIND ME AND ONCOMING, WHEN I REALIZED THAT MY STEERING HAD INEXPLICABLY GIVEN OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, ONLY TO REALIZE THAT MY BRAKES, TOO, HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND WEREN'T WORKING. I THREW ON MY FLASHERS AND DID EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO GET THAT CAR SAFELY TO A HALT AT THE SIDE OF ROAD. IT WAS ONLY DUE TO MY EFFORTS THAT MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ABLE TO SAFELY EVACUATE THE VEHICLE BEFORE MORE DIRE CONSEQUENCES OCCURRED, BECAUSE THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THANKFULLY, A KIND PASSERBY HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE HIT IT, AND I CALLED AAA FOR A TOW. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL MALFUNCTION, BUT I HAD ADEQUATE FUEL IN THE CAR AND HAD THE OIL CHANGED LESS THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR SO IT WASN'T SIMPLE OWNER NEGLECT. NO, IT WAS A CHRYSLER MALFUNCTION THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY CHILDREN AND I OUR LIVES TODAY. *TR

WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, FROM GENESIS AUTO SALES LOCATED AT 1005 SPRINGDALE RD IN AUSTIN, TX. 78721 THERE WAS NOISE BY THE FRONT LEFT TIRE.

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLING WHEN TURNING. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. THIS MONTH ALONE, (DECEMBER 2011) THE CAR HAS STALLED 5 TIMES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT I WILL CRASH WHEN IT STALLS. THERE ARE SO MANY CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS THAT ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALONG WITH THE STALLING ISSUE, THE GAS PEDAL STICKS AND NEEDS TO BE PUSHED RATHER HARD. A THIRD PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS YEAR IS THE HEADLAMPS "BURNING OUT". I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT LEFT HEADLAMP THREE THIS YEAR. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEADLAMPS. I AM GREATLY DISTRESSED BY THESE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY THE STALLING. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE AROUND IN THIS CAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT CHRYSLER'S FAILURE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD VIOLENTLY VIBRATE UPON SHIFTING INTO DRIVE.

BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND MECHANIC NOTICED THE RUST THRU THE FRAME. WE CONTACTED A LOCAL DEALER AND THEY WOULD NOT COVER THE DEFECT. I DID HEAR THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS OF THE ISSUE AND HAS EXTENDED VEHICLE WARRANTIES TO 150,000 MILES AND REPAIRED THE FRAME DAMAGE. HOW DO I GET THIS REPAIRED? THIS SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW (TODAY BEING MOST RECENT). CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHEN TAKING A LEFT OR CUTTING ACROSS TRAFFIC TO LEFT GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WE HAVE A TODDLER WHO WE ARE CONCERNED WHEN WE DRIVE IN THE CAR. DEALER HAS RUN REPORTS AND CHECKED CAR OUT TWICE AND FOUND NOTHING. NO CODES PULL UP DESPITE THE FACT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SYSTEM DASH SAYS "PERFORM SERVICE." *TR

A LETTER WAS SENT TO SOME 2004-2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS THAT THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE AND SUSPENSION MOUNT FRAME WARRANTY WAS BEING EXTENDED TO 15 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES TO OWNERS IN STATES THAT USE ROAD SALT BECAUSE OFF CORROSION PROBLEMS. THEY GO ON TO CARELESSLY EXPLAIN THAT IF YOUR ARE NOT EXPERIENCING VIBRATION AND SHAKING YOU NEED TO DO NOTHING-- BY THE TIME ITS THAT BAD ITS ALMOST TO LATE! MINE WAS NOT SHAKING BUT I HAD MY PACIFICA INSPECTED ANY WAY AND FOUND RUST HOLES IN FRONT FRAME, ONE WAS THE SIZE OF MY FIST AND ON THE OTHER SIDE MAY BE THREE OR FOUR FINGERS WIDE. I STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED THE PHONE # LISTED ON THE NOTIFICATION LETTER TWICE, BOTH TIMES THEY DENIED A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT LISTED AS A RECALL ON THEIR WEB SITE AND BESIDES MY VEHICLE DID NOT FALL INTO THE VIN BLOCK ?? THERE ARE CASES LISTED ON THE INTERNET WHERE STATE DMV INSPECTION STATIONS HAVE FAILED THESE VEHICLES BECAUSE THEY WERE UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE OF FRAME CORROSION. I AM HAVING THE ENGINE CRADLE REPLACED AT MY EXPENSE. HOW CAN A MANUFACTURER HAVE SUCH A FLIPPANT ATTITUDE ABOUT A KNOWN SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE? DOES THIS FALL UNDER A HIDDEN WARRANTY OR RECALL.
