2005 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO DRIVE OR REVERSE THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED AND APPEARS TO "STICK" . WHEN PRESSED WITH MORE FORCE THE AUTOMOBILE "LURCHES" QUICKLY EITHER FORWARD OR BACKWARD DEPENDING ON WHICH GEAR HAS BEEN SELECTED. THIS IS OCCURRING ON A DAILY BASIS. I WILL BE MAKING AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. NO INJURIES OR DAMAGE HAVE OCCURRED AS OF YET, BUT THE POTENTIAL IS THERE. *TR

MY ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND OFF I HAVE REPLACED MY WHEELS ROTORS AND PADS ASSUMING THAT IT WAS MY BRAKES THAT DID NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM AND SEEMS LIKE MY BRAKES WORKED FINE BUT @TIMES I WOULD GET LIKE A SCRUBBING NOISE SEEM TO BE COMING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS WELL BRAKES ARE GREAT. AND WAS TOLD TO TAKE MY CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE THE MACHINE THEY HAD WOULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE CODE,WELL AFTER THAT I NEW I WOULD BE INTO SPENDING SOME MONEY WHEN I CAME TO THE DEALERSHIP,I THINK THIS CAN BE A DANGEROUS SITUATION IF EVER IT CAME TO A STOP AND WOULD NT BE ABLE TO .I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE ABS WHEEL SENSORS AND THE MODULE CONTROL WILL NEVER PURCHASE ANOTHER CHRYSLER IN THIS LIFETIME VERY UN SATISFIED CONSUMER THIS IS A SERIOUS CONCERN ESPECIALLY SOME ONE WHO HAS CHILDREN THEY ARE @RISK THIS PROBLEM NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED BEFORE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE SOMEONE COULD END UP IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT AND I HAVE SEEN ENOUGH OF THE SAME PROBLEMS RESULTING IN THE PURCHASE OF THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND PROBLEMS SUCH AS THIS DETERS ME AWAY FROM PURCHASING AMERICAN VEHICLES SUCH AS CHRYSLER. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, SHE HEARD A TICKING SOUND. THE TICKING SOUND SEEMED TO BECOME LOUDER WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THROTTLE REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO DEPRESS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN THE THROTTLE FINALLY MOVES. WE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO OUR DEALER APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO. THEY SEEMED TO HAVE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE AND REPAIRED IT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIRS AFTER STRIKING A DOG (UNRELEATED TO THE DEFECT). NOW THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED AND WHEN MY WIFE CALLED TO SCHEDULE SERVICE TO HAVE THE ISSUE REPAIRED AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T SCHEDULE A TIME TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AND ACTUALLY ACTED AS IF THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WOULD NEED SEVERAL HOURS TO TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE PRIOR TO REPAIRING IT. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND EVIDENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WHICH TYPICALLY TAKES AN HOUR OF LABOR TIME TO TREAT THE SYMPTOM WHICH EVENTUALLY RETURNS. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE PACIFICA. THE ISSUE WITH OUR VEHICLE IS BECOMMING SERIOUS AND NOW THAT OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP IN LUGOFF, SC SEEMS TO HAVE NO DESIRE TO HELP US I'M NOT SURE WHERE TO TAKE IT FOR REPAIR.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW WOULD NOT MOVE DOWN AND WOULD ALSO SLIDE DOWN ON ITS OWN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE THE WINDOW SWITCH WAS REPLACED, HOWEVER AFTER HAVING THE REPAIR THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE WINDOW WOULD STILL NOT MOVE DOWN PROPERLY. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS AT 84083 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE IS 90000.

DEFECTIVE STICKING GAS PEDAL ON CHRYSLER PACIFICA. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2006. THE ACCELERATOR ON THE VEHICLE STICKS FORCING ME TO APPLY A GREAT DEAL OF PRESSURE TO MAKE IT GO. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE ACCUMULATION OF GUNK IN THE THROTTLE AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PACIFICA. I BELIEVE THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY ALONG WITH OTHER MOTORISTS. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT SINCE IT IS SO COMMON PLACE IN THE PACIFICAS. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOUR AGENCY'S HELP IN MAKING CHRYSLER ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

HEADLIGHT BULBS KEEP BURNING OUT. AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE 2007. THE FIRST TIME BOTH LAMPS WERE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH ONLY ONE HAD GONE OUT, THE REST OF THE TIMES THEY WERE REPLACE INDIVIDUALLY AND EVERY TIME SYLVANIA BULBS WERE USED. I FEEL THIS CONSTITUTES A SAFETY PROBLEM AND NOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE. ALSO THE DRIVERS DOOR LOCK MECHANISM BROKE IN DEC. 2009 WHERE THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSE AND HAD TO BE TIED SHUT THE TAKE IT FOR REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS ALSO A SERIOUS SAFETY FAILURE. *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER WITH NO RESULTS. I HAVE E-MAILED CHRYSLER AND THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. WITH THE RECENT TOYOTA ACCELERATOR PEDAL PROBLEMS, I AM CONCERNED THAT OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I SEE ONE OTHER IN YOUR RECORDS. *TR

I HAVE 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IS STICKY. IT BECOMES STICKY WHEN DRIVING SLOWING, SOMETIME YOU WILL BE FORCE TO STEP ON THE PEDAL AND IT WILL TAKEOFF. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON VERY COLD DAYS, WHENEVER SHE SHIFTED THE GEAR INTO PARK, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT MOVE FORWARD AND BEHAVE AS IF IT WERE IN NEUTRAL GEAR. THE IDENTICAL FAILURE WOULD OCCUR IN THE REVERSE POSITION. THE GEARS DID NOT MALFUNCTION DURING WARM WEATHER. SHE HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO-DATE. SHE CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND A REPRESENTATIVE STATED THAT THERE WERE NO TRANSMISSION-RELATED RECALLS WHEN SHE REFERENCED RECALL 06V432000, POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION, CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM). THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED AT THE TIME OF THE COMPLAINT. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,892. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 49,700.

I WAS JUST LEAVING OUT OF THE GAS STATION, WENT TO PUT ON BRAKES AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON AT THE SAME TIME I PUT ON BRAKES AND FELT LIKE A GRINDING AGAINST SOMETHING. TOOK CAR TO SHOP PUT NEW BRAKES ON, BUT DIDN'T RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. TOOK CAR BACK TO THE SHOP BECAUSE THE ABS LIGHT CAME BACK ON. BRAKES SILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM CHECKED OUT 3 TIMES,AND THEY CANNOT FIND AND PROBLEM,BUT THERE IS SOMETHING GOING ON WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL, IN IT OR SURROUNDING IT. I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, AND I THINK IT MIGHT BE CONCERNING THE CHRYSLER RECALL CONCERNING THE BRAKE BOOSTER ROD RETAINING CLIP. THE BRAKE FAILURE OCCURS 2 TO 3 TIME MONTH. I THOUGHT PUTTING ON NEW BRAKES WOULD SOLVE THE PROBLEM,BUT ITS COMING FROM SOMEWHERE AROUND THE BRAKE PEDAL NOT THE BRAKES. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AGAIN NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG WITH BRAKES. MECHANIC SAID NOTHING WAS FOUND LOOSE OR MISSING. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH A STICKY ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER DURING THE SUMMER 2008 AND WE WERE TOLD THE THROTTLE CABLE IN THE ACCELERATOR HAD CARBON BUILD UP AND HAD TO BE CLEANED. THE DEALER CLEANED IT AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL WE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK ON 12/21/09. AGAIN THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE CABLE. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE SECOND TIME COST US $125. I BELIEVE OUR PACIFICA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE TOYOTAS'. I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN. *TR

PERIODIC(VERY OFTEN) GAS PEDAL GETS VERY HARD AND DOES NOT PUSH DOWN. HAVE TO APPLY LOTS OF FORCE ,FOR IT TO WORK PROPERLY. THIS HAPPENS VERY OFTEN. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MOST RECENTLY IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST TWO DAYS. ONE OF THE OCCASIONS WAS WHILE I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES THIS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST YEAR I JUST DISMISSED THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT IT SEEMS TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT, I AM FEARFUL THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AND SOMEONE WILL BE HURT. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN OCTOBER 2004. IN OCTOBER 2009, I WAS DRIVING HOME DURING AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR. I NOTICED MY CAR SMOKING AND ATTEMPTED JUST TO MAKE IT HOME. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, MY CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE AND TURNED OFF ONCE OR TWICE WHEN I STOPPED AT STOP LIGHTS. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, I DISCOVERED THAT THE RADIATOR HOSE HAD BEEN BLOWN OFF AND A HOLE BASICALLY RIPPED IN THE COOLANT JUG AS A RESULT. REPAIR COST: $564.00. PRIOR TO RELEASING THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS NOTICED HOW LOUDLY AND ROUGHLY THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND DID FURTHER TESTS, TO DISCOVER THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKEN AND IN NEED OF REPAIR, WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM THAT I PAID NEARLY $600 TO FIX. PROJECTED COST: AN ADDITIONAL $900. THAT'S A TOTAL OF $1500 FOR A FOUR-YEAR-OLD CAR!!! I'VE SEARCHED AND HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS REPORTS OF REPEATED MOTOR MOUNT BREAKS AND PROBLEMS. CALLED CHRYSLER WHO BASICALLY IS TURNING A BLIND EYE TO THE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE TURNING. *NJ THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. *JB

THE TRANSMISSION GOES INTO NEUTRAL WHEN COLD OR BRAKING. THIS KEEPS RE-OCCURRING. *TR

THE CAR WILL STALL AT INTERMITTENT TIMES WHEN GOING AT LOW SPEEDS AND LOW RPMS. THE STALLING CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO FREEZE UP. THE CAR WILL START IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE STALL. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO AN AUTHORIZED CHRYSLER DEALER, DARCARS, SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY CANNOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM. IT APPEARS SIMILAR IN NATURE TO THE SAFETY RECALL F44 WHICH WAS ISSUED ON LATER CHRYSLER PACIFICA MODELS IN 2005-2006. THE ISSUE OCCURS ALMOST DAILY AND HAVE NOT HAD ANY PARTS REPLACED BECAUSE THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC, DARCARS, CANNOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS STALLING ISSUE UP WITH CHRYSLER AND OPENED UP A CASE, # 19090751, WHICH THEY CLOSED BECAUSE THEY STATED THAT MY CAR WAS OUTSIDE THE SAFETY RECALL F44 AS WELL AS THAT DARCARS COULD NOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE STALLING IS INTERMITTENT, AS STATED PREVIOUSLY, AND I HAVE SENT THE LOGS TO DARCARS AS TO WHEN IT HAPPENS. *TR

05 CHRYS-PAC ON 11-15-09 DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 87N TURNED ON AC TO CLEAR WINDOWS EVERYTHING IN THE CAR WENT DEAD, ENGINE, ELECT PWR EVERYTHING, NO PWR STEERING, NOPWR BRAKES, JUST MADE IT TO ROAD SIDE WITH OUT GETTING HIT. AFTER A SHORT TIME THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND WAS DRIVEN HOME. *TR

WE HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS BEEN ACTING UP. THE HEADLAMPS AND INTERIOR LAMPS WILL FLICKER LIKE THERE IS A SHORT, AND THEN THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND CHIME. THE RADIO WILL ALSO HAVE A POP NOISE AND TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER TWICE NOW WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IN OUR DRIVEWAY. NOW THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WITH READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS THIS VEHICLE HAS ON THE SAME ITEMS, I WOULD THINK A MAJOR RECALL WOULD NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT, IF SOMEONE HASN'T ALL READY. *TR

WITHIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASING MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA MY ABS LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. NOW IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. AFTER INQUIRING ABOUT THE PROBLEM FROM SEVERAL SHOPS I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A VERY COSTLY FIX RANGING FROM 1000-2000 DOLLARS. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FAILURE AT SOME POINT AND CAUSE A WRECK. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART AND FIX THE MANY WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. *TR

VEHICLE HAS COMPLETE MAINTENANCE RECORDS SINCE PURCHASED FROM DEALER. VEHICLE GOES INTO NEUTRAL WHEN BRAKING AND MAKING U TURN. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ADMITTED TO BEING A COMMON PROBLEM YET DEFECTIVE TRANSMISSION HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. THEREFORE, MY WIFE AND I REFUSE TO PAY TO HAVE VEHICLE REPAIRED FOR A MANUFACTURES DEFECT. THE COMPANY SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE AND RESPONSIBLE FOR CORRECTING SUCH ISSUE TO PREVENT THE POSSIBILITY OF DEATH TO A US CITIZEN. *TR

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN A PARKING GARAGE, WHILE BRAKING AND HAVING THE AC ON, AND MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT, BUT NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT PRIOR WARNINGS. USUALLY AFTER WAITING FOR SEVERAL MINUTES THE VEHICLE CAN BE RESTARTED. HIS MODEL YEAR WAS AFFECTED BY RECALL # 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE )(TCM, PCM). ACCORDING TO THE RECALL THE DEALERS WILL REPROGRAM THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WILL ALSO BE REPLACED ON VEHICLES BUILT FROM AUGUST 1, 2004 THROUGH SEPTEMBER 30, 2004. THE DEALER WILL ONLY UPDATE THE SOFTWARE FOR HIS VEHICLE . HE HAS TO PAY FOR THE FUEL PUMP. THE FAILURE MILEAGE 80,000.

THE ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND THE LAST TIME THE BRAKES GOT VERY SPONGY. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS VERY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE. TO ME THAT SHOULD BE A SAFETY RE-CALL. THE BRAKES I WOULD THINK ARE A VERY IMPORTANT PART IF NOT THE MOST IMPORTANT PART OF THE VEHICLE. DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO BE KILLED BEFORE THEY ARE FORCED TO DO A RE-CALL? *TR

ACCELERATOR STICKS BADLY REQUIRING VERY HEAVY FOOT PRESSURE TO BREAK LOOSE, CAUSING VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO TURN LEFT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF, AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND REGAIN NORMAL DRIVING FUNCTIONS. A WEEK LATER THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITH OUT WARNING. UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT THE FAILURE WAS RELATED TO CAMPAIGN 06V432000, POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE TCM, PCM. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED; HOWEVER, THEY STATED THAT HER VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. THE MANUFACTURER ALSO CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT A PART OF THE RECALL. NO REPAIRS HAVE BEEN MADE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 91,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH AND MAKING RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE NORMALLY WITHOUT STALLING. THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND HAS BEGUN STALLING AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS AND NO WARRANTY AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

OWN A 2005 PACIFICA..IT HAS 75000 MILES ON IT. IT HAS 4 BAD ENGINE MOUNTS. DEALER STATES "THEY SEE ALOT FOR THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND IT IS NORMAL." I DO NOT THINK IT IS NORMAL THAT MOUNTS THAT HOLD UP THE ENGINE COULD FAIL. *TR

MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, I LOST BRAKING POWER MOMENTARILY. AFTER THAT, THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON, BUT WENT OFF AFTER THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF. IT COMES ON AND OFF NOW INTERMITTENTLY AND I ON OCCASION LOSE BRAKING ABILITY. THE ABS LIGHT DOES NOT SEEM TO COME ON IN CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE BRAKING ISSUE HOWEVER. I AM TOLD THAT THIS IS DUE TO FAULTY ABS SENSORS WHICH CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ACKNOWLEDGE. *TR

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS THAT I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE SAME FRONT SPEED SENSOR ON MY 2005 PACIFICA REPLACED. ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2007, THE FRONT SENSOR WAS REPLACED. IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS TIME AT 33,000 MILES. WE WERE TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT IT WAS "DEFECTIVE." YET, THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS. FAST FORWARD TWO YEARS, MY CAR HAS OVER 50K MILES, IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE SAME SENSOR HAS GONE OFF. NOW, IT IS A 316.00 JOB. THE PART ONLY COSTS 48.99 THROUGH PEP BOYS, SO THE DEALERSHIP (JONES JUNCTION IN BEL AIR, MD) IS ROBBING ME FOR 268.00 IN LABOR ON A SERVICE THAT TAKES ALL OF 15 MINUTES TO TAKE THE WHEEL ON AND OFF. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH MY YEAR, MAKE, AND MODEL, AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER. *TR

HIGH PRESSURE POWER STEERING HOSE BURST. REPLACED TWICE BY DEALER WHERE CAR WAS BOUGHT. REPLACES PART BURST AND THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE. CAR WAS A TOTAL LOST. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS; THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE OUTSIDE OF THE VEHICLE. THE WHEEL DISENGAGED FROM THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE SKIDDED AND PROCEEDED TO A COMPLETE STOP. THE DRIVER WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH CAUTION. ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE WAS CALLED TO THE SCENE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE RESIDENCE. THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO THE BROKEN WHEEL STUDS. VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 69,000. BL

I PURCHASED A USED 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 68000 MILES ON IT. A WEEK LATER THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE SENSOR BUT IT WAS OK TO DRIVE. MY BRAKES DO NOT BRAKE WELL AND LOCK UP ON ME. I GOT THE PADS REPLACED AND ROTORS SMOOTHED, BUT I AM STILL HAVING THE SENSOR PROBLEM. WHILE LOOKING ON WEBSITES, I NOTICED THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WHAT CAN BE DONE TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO RECALL THIS SENSOR? *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FUEL TANK THAT GOES FROM HALF TO EMPTY AND THEN DIES, HAS REPLACED FUEL PUMPS FOR THE FOURTH TIME AND IT IS HAPPENING AGAIN IN JUST TWO WEEKS. *TR

WE OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING EDITION. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT (AND THE WARRANTY ENDED), WE NOTICED THAT THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. SOMETIMES IT WOULD STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY, SOMETIMES IT WOULD COME OFF AND ON. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, AND YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE, THE PEDAL BEGINS TO SHAKE A LITTLE, AND IT'S VERY HARD TO PUSH AND YOU HEAR A GRINDING NOISE. THE CAR DOES NOT STOP QUICKLY AT ALL, IT JUST SLOWS DOWN A TINY BIT. I'VE HAD MORE THAN 2 INSTANCES WHERE I PRESSED THE BRAKE RATHER FIRMLY AND IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN ENOUGH AND I DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I HAD BOTH OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME AT THE TIME AS WELL!! WE TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER WHERE THEY TOLD US IT WOULD COST US ROUGHLY $80 AN HOUR FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY RIGHT NOW. THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, BUT THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THIS PROBLEM, IT IS A VERY LARGE PROBLEM WITH THE PACIFICAS. I'VE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE PUT A RECALL ON IT, SO THAT THOSE OF US WHO CAN'T AFFORD $80 AN HOUR CAN MAKE SURE OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE ON THE ROADS. I'M AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL FOR FEAR THAT THE BRAKES WILL COMPLETELY GO OUT. THANK YOU SO MUCH! *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AWD TOURING EDITION. ALONG WITH MY FUEL QUANTITY PROBLEM, I ALSO HAVE A STALLING PROBLEM NOW. RESEARCHING ON EDMUNDS.COM, IT SEEMS I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. THE VEHICLE SHUTS DOWN WHEN COMING TO A STOP. SINCE MY FUEL GAGE IS NOT WORKING, I HAVE BEEN USING MY TRIP METER TO GAUGE MILEAGE AND TANK QUANTITY. RIGHT AROUND 110-150 MILES AFTER A FILL-UP, MY VEHICLE STARTS TO SHUT OFF. WHEN I FILL IT, IT ONLY TAKES ABOUT 7-10 GALLONS OF FUEL. THEN IT DRIVES FINE. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY SINCE MY SPOUSE TRANSPORTS THE CHILDREN TO AND FROM SCHOOL ON A MAJOR HIGHWAY WITH ALOT OF TRAFFIC AND MANY STOPS ON THE ROAD. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF THIS YEAR THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUES. IT SEEMS LIKE A MALFUNCTION THAT MAY HAVE TO DUE WITH THE F44 FUEL PUMP AND CONTROL MODULE REPROGRAMMING RECALL. WE HAD THIS COMPLETED ON THE CAR. NOW WE HAVE PROBLEMS. I WAS TOLD BY THE DEALER THAT THIS IS NOT ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL. WE NEVER HAD PROBLEMS PRIOR TO THE RECALL BEING PERFORMED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V432000. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 65,000. UPDATED 09/23/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS NEEDLE WENT FROM THE HALF WAY MARK STRAIGHT DOWN TO EMPTY. UPDATED 09/23/09.*JB

THE ABS (ANTI BRAKE SYSTEM) LIGHT STARTED TO COME ON AND STAY ON I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE GARAGE FOR REPAIR THE LIGHT STILL COMES ON I HAVE MADE SOME RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET CONCERNING THAT PROBLEM AND DISCOVER THAT A LOT OF OWNER HAVING THE SAME TYPE OF CAR AS ME (2005 & UP CHRYSLER PACIFICA) ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO ONE TIME WHEN THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON AND STAYED ON WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE ABS SYSTEM CAUSE ME TO LOOSE BRAKES FOR A FEW SECONDS WHEN I WAS TRYING TO BRAKE, THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY FAILURE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD ADDRESS THAT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED A FEW MONTHS AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED IN OCTOBER OF 2008. IN ADDITION, THE BRAKES WERE EXPERIENCING ISSUES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG. THE BRAKES CONTINUED TO PERFORM ABNORMALLY AND PRODUCED A WHISTLING SOUND. THE BRAKES ALSO PULSATED AND MADE A GRINDING NOISE AS IF THEY WOULD LOCK UP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE PADS WERE FINE; HOWEVER, THE DEALER INSTALLED CHEAP BRAKE PADS ON THE VEHICLE. THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATES INTERMITTENTLY AND THE CONTACT MUST PUMP THE BRAKE PEDAL IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE BRAKES WERE REPAIRED AND THE NOISES STOPPED; HOWEVER, THE ABS LIGHT STILL ILLUMINATES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 49,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,400.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. SHE COULD NOT TURN OFF THE LIGHT BECAUSE SHE LOST CONTROL OF THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FUNCTIONS. WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO JUMP. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE FAILING. THE DEALER ORDERED THE PARTS FOR THE REPAIR, BUT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER. THE CONTACT HAS NOT YET RECEIVED A PRICE QUOTE. SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 44,000.

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. ABS FAILURE/ABS LIGHT COMES ON, LOSE BRAKING ABILITY UNLESS BRAKES ARE PUMPED. THIS ISSUE WAS REPORTED TO CHRYSLER A FEW WEEKS AGO. WHEEL SENSORS REPLACED. THIS ISSUE IS ONGOING. NOW BACK AT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. RELATED TO THIS IS THE ENGINE SURGES AND ALMOST REAR ENDED SOMEONE IN THE KFC DRIVE THRU SAME DAY I BROUGHT BACK TO DEALER. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING EDITION AWD WITH APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES. THIS PAST WEEK, MY VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AT STOPS. AFTER MY SPOUSE TOOK IT TO A CAR REPAIR FACILITY, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES. SHE STATED SHE HAD 1/2 TANK OF FUEL SHOWING. I HAD TO RENT A TRAILER TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP AND DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALER. WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE FUEL GAUGE WENT FROM 1/2 TO EMPTY. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED THE REPAIRS FOR THE STALLING PROBLEM. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THEY HAD TO PUT $10 DOLLARS OF FUEL IN IT CAUSE IT WAS SHOWING EMPTY AND THAT THE TANK LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON. ACCORDING TO THE TRIP INDICATION OF FUEL MILEAGE, IT SAID I HAD 18 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. I STARTED THE CAR AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO 1/2 TANK! OKAY PROBLEM HERE!! I HAD THE TECHNICIAN PUT IT BACK ON DIAGNOSTIC AND SHOWED NO CODES AND FUEL QUANTITY WAS AT 18 MILES LEFT ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE GAS STATION AND ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE TANK, IT ONLY TOOK 6.73 GALLONS AND WOULD NOT TAKE ANY MORE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TANK SENDING UNITS (2EA) THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. LOOKING AT OTHER COMPLAINTS, WE ALL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. *TR

HIGH LEVEL OF FAILURE OF MOTOR MOUNTS IN CHRYSLER PACIFICA. UNABLE TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS DUE TO 1000'S BEING ON BACK ORDER. STARTED TRYING TO LOCATE AND PURCHASE MOTOR MOUNTS IN 11/08. PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT MOTOR MOUNTS AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN 1/09 AND AS OF 6/09/09 MOTOR MOUNTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SAFETY RAMIFICATIONS ARE, OTHER THAN IF THE MOUNTS WERE TO FAIL COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY 65 MILES PER HOURS IN TRAFFIC... WHILE I FIRST BECAME AWARE OF THE MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE AROUND 11/08, THE MOTOR MOUNTS APPARENTLY WERE DAMAGED BEFORE THEN. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR SERVICE AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. THE MANUFACTURER CONFIRMED AND STATED THAT THEY COULD CALL HER WHEN IT BECOMES AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY 05 CHRYSLER PACIFICA,IN READING THE CHRYSLER FORUM, THIS IS A MAJOR COMMON PROBLEM AND A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR "MONTHS" THIS HAS BEEN RECURRING ON ALL PACIFICA'S SINCE 04.AND THE COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR IS OVER $500.00. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL. MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MOUNTS ONLY LAST ABOUT 15000 MILES. *TR

REAR MOTOR MOUNTS SEEM TO BE A BIG ISSUE FOR CHRYSLER PACIFICAS. I HAVE A 2005 TOURING AND WAS TOLD 6 MONTHS AGO THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE MINE. AT THAT TIME, THEY WERE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER OF OVER 1,900!! I'M SURE THAT NUMBER HAS RISEN GREATLY SINCE JANUARY '09. IF THAT MANY REAR MOTOR MOUNTS ARE ON BACK ORDER, IT WOULD STAND TO REASON THAT THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. WHY WOULD CHRYSLER NOT COVER REPLACING THIS PART UNDER WARRANTY?! IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME TO RECEIVE THE REPLACEMENT PART. HOW SAFE IS THIS CAR TO DRIVE WITH THE ENGINE MOVING AROUND SO MUCH?! I'VE HEARD AND READ DIFFERING OPINIONS ON THE SAFETY ISSUE. IF IT IS INDEED A DANGER TO DRIVE A CAR IN THIS CONDITION, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO FOR TRANSPORTATION?! CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE AN EXTENSIVE LOOK INTO THIS AND MANY OTHER ISSUES THAT PACIFICA OWNERS HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH. I, MYSELF, HAVE SPENT A LOT OF TIME AT THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP GETTING DEFECTIVE PARTS REPLACED. UNFORTUNATELY, THERE HAVE BEEN PARTS THAT WEREN'T COVERED UNDER WARRANTY WHICH I READ ABOUT AS BEING A COMMON PROBLEM. I'VE EVEN READ THAT THE PACIFICA MAY QUALIFY FOR THE LEMON LAW WITH SO MANY COMMON PROBLEMS. *TR

IN OCTOBER 2008 I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND I HAVE BEEN HAVING ALOT BRAKING ISSUES SINCE. THE ABS LIGHT IS CONSTANTLY GOING ON AND OFF AND THE BRAKE PEDAL FELT BUMPY AND NON-RESPONSIVE AT TIMES. THIS IS DANGEROUS!!!! I HAVE 8 WEEK OLD TWINS. I WENT ON THE INTERNET TO FIND ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I HAVE YET TO GO TO THE DEALER WITH THIS BUT AFTER THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND I WILL BUT THE ABS SYSTEMS IN THESE CARS SHOULD BE RECALLED BEFORE PEOPLE GET HURT OR LOSE THEIR LIVES. *TR

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA DOESN'T GO WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE TO DRIVE IT. IT HESITATES AND THEN MOVES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT 2 OF MY MOTOR MOUNTS WERE CRACKED AND THAT'S WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. I TRIED TO GET THE PARTS AND APPARENTLY 250 OF THEM ARE ON BACKORDER. WE HAVE CALLED EVERY DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO AND SURROUNDING CITIES AND NO DEALER HAS THEM, MANY HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY DON'T HAVE A DATE OF WHEN THEY ARE TO BE SHIPPED, (COULD BE MONTHS), NONE OF THIS OF COURSE WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE HAVE. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THIS VEHICLE ISN'T THAT OLD AND HAS 68000 MILES ON IT, I AM SHOCKED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE ALREADY CRACKED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF 250 OF THEM ARE ON BACK ORDER, DOESN'T THAT SAY SOMETHING ABOUT THIS VEHICLE AND THE MOUNTS. IT IS EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE, LABOR COSTING $500, AND WE CAN'T EVEN GET THE PARTS BECAUSE NO ONE HAS THEM. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE THE CAR AT TIMES HESITATES TO GO ONCE I RELEASE THE BRAKE AND APPLY THE GAS. I AM CONCERNED THAT OTHER OWNERS ARE FEELING THE SAME WAY I DO, CHEATED. PLEASE RESPOND. *TR
