2005 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 3.8 LITER ENGINE WITH BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. THESE CANNOT BE FIXED/REPLACED BECAUSE THE PARTS ARE NOT AVAILABLE FROM THE MANUFACTURER OR ANY PARTS SUPPLIER. WHEN I ORDERED THE PARTS IN JANUARY 2009, THERE WERE ALREADY 3500 ON BACKORDER WITH NO DUE IN DATE. AS OF 4 MAY 2009, CHRYSLER CAN STILL NOT PROVIDE THE PARTS NOR A DUE IN DATE. *TR

2005 AWD CHRYSLER PACIFICA, GAS PEDAL BINDS REQUIRING DRIVER TO OVERPRESSURE THE PEDAL TO MOVE FORWARD. ONCE OVERPOWERED THE CAR CAN LURCH FORWARD FROM THE SUDDEN OVER FUEL CONDITION. *TR

FAILURE TO START, A MECHANICAL PART BROKE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY OF THESE PARTS BRAKE THAT IT WOULD BE UNTIL JULY UNTIL THEY CAN GET THE PART. IF THIS IS A FACT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM AND NOT MY PROBLEM. I AM WITH OUT A CAR FOR TWO MONTHS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND HAD IT REPAIR THAT COST ME $500. THEN AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR I HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN, THEN TO ONLY FIND OUT THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT THAT WAS PLACE ON MY CAR WAS FAULTY FROM THE FACTORY AND THAT THE PRODUCT IS ON BACK ORDER. I AM SITTING HERE NOW WITH A CAR WITH BAD MOTOR MOUNT AND WAITING FOR THE PRODUCT THAT I MIGHT NEVER GET. WAS TOLD IT WAS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER OF 2500 PLUS VEHICLES. THIS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND NO RECALL. I FIND THAT CARELESS. JUST BECAUSE THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT TO PUT THE CUSTOMER SAFETY AT RISK. I CANT TAKE MY CAR ON LONG TRIPS DUE TO BEING SCARED IT WILL BREAK DOWN ON ME WHILE MY BABY IS IN THE CAR. *TR

MASSIVE VAPORS STARTED TO EMIT FROM MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ENGINE. HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP IN FOREST PARK, IL. WAS ADVISED THAT ENGINE MOUNTS BROKE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE OF ENGINE MOUNT BREAKAGE, THE ENGINE CAN FALL DOWN. IN MY CASE, IT CAUSE VARIOUS CONNECTIONS AND FLUID PIPES TO BREAK AND/OR BE DISCONNECTED. I NOW HAVE WAITED FOR THREE MONTHS FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT CHRYSLER HAS NONE "DUE TO BACKORDER". I HAVE BROWSED MANY BLOGS AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT BLOGS COMPLAINING ABOUT SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THE PART, BUT HAS NOT DONE SO. PLEASE HELP WITH CAUSING CHRYSLER TO RECALL THIS FAULTY PART AND WITH GETTING CHRYSLER TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS! *TR

THE REAR MOTOR ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS FAILED BY BUSTING UNDER TORQUE LOAD. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE CONDITION FOR THIS PART AS IT IS FLUID FILLED AND CONTINUALLY ALLOWS DAMAGING CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP TO THE ENGINE IF NOT REPAIRED. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS MANY OWNER HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT IT. THEY CONTINUED TO DO NOTHING. THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AS OF NOW WITH 1900+ OUTSTANDING. I CANNOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY UNTIL THE DEALERS TAKE SHIPMENT OF THE PART. GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL SEE IT IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER OWNERS. OWNERS ARE EVEN CONSIDERING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART AT A MINIMUM. *TR

I HAVE THE PROBLEM WITH MY 2005 PACIFICA STALLING, WHILE I AM DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE IDLED ROUGHLY, BUCKED, AND STALLED COMPLETELY. IT HAPPENED BEFORE AND TWO WEED AFTER I HAVE RECALL DONE. DATE OF FAILURES: 2/15/2009 AND 4/11/2009 WHEN I BRING IT BACK TO THE DEALER THEY WANT TO CHARGE ME $120 DOLLARS FOR DIAGNOSTIC (4/16/09). I REFUSED TO PAY AND FOUND OUT THAT MANY PACIFICA'S OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND FOR SAFETY REASON I FILE THIS COMPLAINT PLEASE EMAIL ME WHAT SHOULD I DO. THANK YOU VERY MUCH JOHN ANH PHAM PACIFICA 2005 *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 82,144 MILES; BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS WITH FAILURE OF BOTH FRONT AXLES AND TIE ROD ENDS. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 38,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE BEEN HEARING A NOISE AS I ACCELERATE THE VEHICLE. ALSO THE ABS LIGHT HAS BEEN COMING ON. I HEAR A LOUD GRINDING NOISE. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. AND THEY ARE TELLING ME THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BAD. THE MILEAGE ON THIS CAR IS TOO LOW TO BE HAVING MOTOR MOUNT ISSUES. THIS IS PREDETEMINATION OF THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THEY TELL ME MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS. THEY SAID IT IS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. THIS IS NOT RIGHT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ITEM. THE DEALER SAYS THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER SINCE DECEMBER 08. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. I AM HAVING TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH BAD MOTOR MOUNTS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR

GAS GAUGE DROPS FROM 1/2 TO EMPTY IN SECONDS IF YOU DON'T GET TO A GAS STATION QUICKLY THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF. THERE IS NO WARNING. VEHICLE STILL HAS GAS BUT WILL SHUT OFF. WE HAVE BEEN STRANDED SEVERAL TIMES ON THE INTERSTATE. VERY DANGEROUS FOR A FAMILY. ACCORDING TO SEARCHES I HAVE MADE LOTS OF 2005 PACIFICAS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM STARTING AT AROUND 45,000 MILES. I HAVEN'T FOUND ANY ANSWERS TO THE PROBLEM. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA MOTOR MOUNTS NEED TO BE REPLACED AND I AM TOLD THE PARTS ARE ON A NATIONAL BACK ORDER AND I CANNOT GET MY CAR REPAIRED. IT HAS BEEN SIX MONTHS AND I AM TOLD THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO GET THE PART AND NO DATE IN THE FUTURE THAT THE PART WILL BECOME AVAILABLE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THE CAN PROVIDE NO INFORMATION. *TR

CLICKING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE ON DECELERATION AND ACCELERATION. AND THE THROTTLE STICKS OCCASIONALLY. WE HAD IT LOOKED AT BY MECHANIC, AND THE MOTOR MOUNT IS CRACKED AND ROTTING, WE ATTEMPTED TO ORDER A MOTOR MOUNT, THE CHRYSLER DEALER SAID THEY HAVE 173 REQUESTS FOR MOTOR MOUNT IN LAKE HAVASU CITY, AZ AND NONE ARE AVAILABLE ANYWHERE. THERE IS A 6 MONTH WAIT BEFORE THEY CAN GET ANY. *TR

I HAVE SUSPICION THAT THE 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BELOW EXPECTED STANDARDS. I MONITOR MY VEHICLES FOR COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS TO INSURE THAT IF I HAVE TO HAVE WORK DONE ON MY CARS IT IS FOR EXPECTED WEAR AND TEAR OF ANY VEHICLE. IT IS THROUGH THIS MONITORING THAT I HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE WHAT SOUNDS LIKE SUBSTANDARD MOTOR MOUNTS. THIS HAS BEEN MY 1ST VEHICLE OF ANY KIND TO REQUIRE REPLACEMENT MOTOR MOUNTS.MY 2005 PACIFICA WITH 73K MILES HAS HAD TO HAVE BOTH MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. IT SEEMS THAT BEFORE THEY WERE REPLACE THEY WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AND THE MOTOR WAS BEING HELD IN PLACE BY 3 OTHER MINOR MOUNTS. APPARENTLY, THE BACKORDER IS SO BAD THAT IT COULD NOT BE GUARANTEED WITHIN 2 MONTHS. I HAD TO ORDER THEM THROUGH A 3RD PARTY IN ORDER TO REPLACE BEFORE ANY MAJOR DAMAGE WAS CAUSED. THIS RAISES RED FLAGS: ARE THESE FAULTY MOUNTS? DO THEY NO LONGER MAKE THESE MOUNTS FOR OTHER VEHICLES? IF SO, IS IT DUE TO SUBSTANDARD DESIGN? WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN AN INVESTIGATION? *TR

ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, THE MOTOR MOUNTS SEEM TO BE SUBSTANDARD AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT AT A HIGHER INTERVAL THAN NORMAL. WHILE THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A HUGE ISSUE INITIALLY, A FAILED MOTOR MOUNT IS A REASON TO REJECT A VEHICLE INSPECTION IN THE STATE OF VA. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR USED 2 YEARS AGO, I NEEDED TO REPLACE A FAILED MOTOR MOUNT, NOW, 2 YEARS LATER AND WITH THE CAR HAVING LESS THAN 65,000 MILES I AM HAVING TO REPLACE A MOTOR MOUNT AGAIN. THE REAL ISSUE NOW SEEMS TO BE THAT CHRYSLER AS A WHOLE IS OUT OF STOCK AS THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER IN EFFECT AT THE MOMENT. THE FACT THAT THIS PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER MAKES ME FEEL AS IF THEY ARE BEING REPLACED BY MANY OTHER PACIFICA OWNERS. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS FAIL ON THE PACIFICA APPROXIMATELY EVERY 30,000 MILES. *TR

MY 2005 PACIFICA HAS A GAS PEDAL THAT STICKS. SOMETIMES YOU MUST PUSH IT SUPER HARD CAUSING A JERKING OF THE CAR. ALSO, THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AFTER 3 OR 4 MIN. I WILL FEEL A HARD BRAKE PEDAL [LIKE THEIR NOT WORKING] BEFORE THIS HAPPENS. *TR

I WAS IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND THE FRONT RIGHT FENDER, HOOD, GRILL AND RIGHT HEADLIGHT WERE SMASHED IN BUT THE FRONT AIRBAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. I EXPECTED THEM TO DEPLOY DURING THE CRASH AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ON THE SCENE ALSO EXPECTED THEM TO DEPLOY AT ANY MOMENT AFTER THE CRASH, BUT THEY NEVER DID. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA BATTERY DIES SOMEHOW AND LEAVES ME STRANDED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY COUPLE WEEKS. THERE IS SOMETHING DRAINING THE BATTERY THAT CAUSES IT NOT TO START. AND NO I AM NOT LEAVING A LIGHT ON OR DOOR OPEN. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. RIGHT HEADLIGHT WILL QUIT WITH NO WARNING, THEN WILL COME BACK ON ITS OWN ACCORD. DEALER CHECKED FOR PREVIOUS REPORTS OF PROBLEM AND FOUND NONE. MECHANIC SAID THE HARNESS COMES LOOSE AND MUST BE RESEATED. NO EASY TASK SINCE IT IS UNDER THE BREATHER TUBE AND DIFFICULT TO GET TO. ALSO, LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL WILL QUIT WORKING THEN COME BACK ON. WIRING HARNESS SEEMS TO BE INTACT SO OTHER OPTION WOULD BE BULBS (2). HOWEVER, IF THEY ARE BAD, WHY DOES THE SIGNAL RESTORE ITSELF? DEALER HAD NO ANSWER FOR THAT MYSTERY EITHER. PROBLEM STARTED MID-SUMMER 2008 AND HAS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY EVER SINCE. *TR

I WAS MAKING A 800 MILE TRIP IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND NOTICED THAT THE THROTTLE WAS STARTING TO STICK WHEN MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISENGAGED. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WAS TO STOMP ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING STUCK AROUND THE PEDAL OR EVEN THE THROTTLE CABLE BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE THROTTLE ONLY STUCK WHEN THE TAC WAS AT AROUND 2700 TO 3000 RPMS. WHEN I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION I GOT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING POSTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. TO MY SURPRISE THERE WERE QUITE A FEW AND SOME OF THEM WITHIN THE SAME MILEAGE AND OR CONDITIONS. MOST OF THEM TOOK THERE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO EITHER CHARGED THEM FOR A NEW THROTTLE BODY OR PEDAL ASSEMBLY OR EVEN THE THROTTLE CABLE. I JUST WENT OUT AND LOOKED AT MINE AND DISCOVERED THAT A HOSE THAT CAME FROM THE CARS AIR INTAKE WAS RUBBING AGAINST THE THROTTLE SPRING AND CABLES. I LOOSELY ZIP TIED THE HOSE TO THE ALTERNATORS MOUNTING BRACKET AND HAVEN'T HAD ANOTHER PROBLEM. BUT THE HOSE WAS BEING CUT BY THE CABLE. I CAUGHT MINE BEFORE IT WAS TO BAD. *TR

MY 2005 PACIFICA STALLS WHEN MAKING LEFT TURNS. IT HAS STALLED ON TWO OTHER OCCASIONS WHILE SIMPLY SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT. BIT IT HAS STALLED REPEATEDLY WHEN I TURN LEFT INTO MY COMPANY PARKING GARAGE. I HAVE NEARLY BEEN HIT BY THE UNEXPECTED STOP IN THE DRIVEWAY AREA. *TR

OVER THE PAST 5 MONTHS, MY 2005 PACIFICA HAS STALLED. ON 4 OR 5 OCCASIONS. THE LAST EVENT OCCURRED ON THE 26TH ON I81 GOING 70MPH. THEY HAVE CLEANED THE GAS PEDAL, REPLACED THE BATTERY, REPLACED THE ONBOARD COMPUTER, BUT CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. I DON'T WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN. *TR

FIRST NOTICED GAS GAGE SUDDENLY DROPPED FROM 3/4 TANK TO EMPTY, LOW FUEL WARNING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. FUEL GAGE WOULD AGAIN RISE UP TO FULL THEN DROP TO EMPTY. CALLED DEALER WHO ASKED FOR MY VIN NUMBER AND TOLD ME MY CAR WAS NOT SUBJECT TO RECALL. GAS GAGE IS NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AT ALL & I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS I HAVE IN MY TANK - I'M UNABLE AT THIS POINT TO AFFORD THE REPAIR. NEW PROBLEM HAS ARISEN, YESTERDAY AND TODAY MY CAR HAS STALLED, CAUSING ME TO ENGAGE PARK AND RESTART MY ENGINE. FIRST TIME I WAS GOING UP A SMALL HILL AND THIS MORNING I WAS MANEUVERING AROUND A ROUND ABOUT. SEEMS VERY SIMILAR TO OTHER REPORTS ON THIS PARTICULAR MODEL AND THOSE WHO HAVE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT. *TR

I RECENTLY(LAST WEEK) HAD TRANSMISSION SERVICE ALONG WITH POWER TRANSFER UNIT FLUID CHANGE AND AWD SERVICE ON MY 05 CHRYSLER PACIFICA (LIMITED). IT HAS 50+ K MILES ON IT. DAY AFTER THIS SERVICE (DONE AT CHRYSLER DEALER), MY TRUCK STALLED WHILE TAKING TURN TO RIGHT AT LOW SPEED. I HAD TO STOP COMPLETELY AND RESTART THE ENGINE. NEVER HAD PROBLEM AFTER THAT SO FAR. *TR

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS A DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT HARNESS BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THE VIN #. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BUT THEY SAID OH WELL, TAKE TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I ONLY GET 7VOLTS OF POWER TO THE LEFT HEADLIGHT AND THE RIGHT I HAVE 10.5VOLTS- BARELY ENOUGH TO LIGHT THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT. EVEN THOUGH MY VIN # IS NOT ON THE LIST TO BE RECALLED, IT APPEARS CHRYSLER DID NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THE LATER VIN # PACIFICA'S. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FESS UP THAT THIS IS AN ENGINEERING SNAPFU THAT IS DANGEROUS TO US SINCE THE HEADLIGHT WILL ONLY FAIL, AND THAT IS AT NIGHT WHEN SAFETY IS A BIG ISSUE. *TR

FUEL TANK VALVE DEFECTIVE, ALLOWING FUEL INTO CHARCOAL CHAMBER, ALSO ISSUES WITH OTHER VALVES RELATED TO THE GAS TANK. FUEL MODULE PCM AND TANK REPLACEMENT WERE REQUIRED. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. IT EVENTUALLY WENT OFF BUT THEN THE BRAKES FAILED. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE CAR CAME GRINDING TO A HALT. THE ABS LIGHT NOW GOES ON AND OFF AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND SPEAKING TO A MECHANIC, I FOUND THAT THE SENSORS HAD FAILED. IT IS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE AMONG OTHER 2005-2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS I'VE COME INTO CONTACT WITH ACROSS THE INTERNET. *TR

I WAS EXITING OFF THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP. AS I ACCELERATED OUT OF THE STOP A GUSH OF HOT RADIATOR FLUID CAME SHOOTING OUT OF AN AREA RIGHT ABOVE THE GAS PEDDLE AND BURNED MY RIGHT ANKLE. I SUSTAINED SECOND DEGREE BURNS AND WAS TREATED AT MY LOCAL DOCTOR'S OFFICE. *TR

MY WIFE AND I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WHICH WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PEDAL STICKING. WHILE ACCELERATING THE PEDAL STICKS AND JERKS YOU FORWARD UNTIL YOU HAVE SMOOTH ACCELERATION WHILE PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERS ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS ALOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AFTER BROWSING THE INTERNET THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED IF THIS ISN'T LOOKED INTO. THANK YOU. *TR

ENGINE SEIZED WITH NO WARNING. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS MAINTAINED BUT SOMEHOW THE ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR OIL. ENGINE ONLY HAS 52,000 MI. CHRYSLER WON'T OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE AND WERE HORRIBLE TO DEAL WITH. NEW ENGINE WILL COST $8,000 USED $5,000. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YRS. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT 50,000 MILES. ABS SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND RECALL FOR FUEL MODULE...BUT MOST UPSETTING THE CAR STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE MAKING TURNS..IE: PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES,ETC.. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP AND LIKE MANY OTHERS WITHOUT ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, THEREFORE WE ARE SENT ON OUR WAY WITH NO FIX!! I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR!! WHY WONT CHRYSLER STAND BEHIND THESE VEHICLES!!!*TR

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS AN ABS WARNING LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND OFF, I WENT TO MIDAS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THIS, I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ONLY A TECHNICAL ADVISORY WAS ISSUED SAYING TO CHANGE ALL THE BRAKE SENSORS IF ONE FAILS--THIS WOULD COST ME ABOUT $500--WHICH I DON'T HAVE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD STILL HAVE BRAKES BUT THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK SO I WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO SKID. THIS DOESN'T SOUND SAFE TO ME--I WENT ON LINE AND FOUND MULTIPLE SITES STATING THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PACIFICAS--SO WHY WON'T CHRYSLER PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, AND IF THEY DON'T VOLUNTEER WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE IN OUR GOVERNMENT MAKE THEM? HELP! I HAUL KIDS AROUND ALL DAY IN MY PACIFICA AND I WANT THEM ( AND ME) TO BE SAFE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING FAILURES WITH THE FUEL TANK. WHENEVER SHE ATTEMPTS TO ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT TAKE MORE THAN FIVE GALLONS, AND THE DIAL NEVER INDICATES THAT IT IS MORE THEN 3/4 FULL. ALSO, THE DIAL WILL MOVE FROM HALF A TANK DOWN TO EMPTY WITHIN 60 MILES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MORE THAN SIX TIMES AND THEY REPLACED THE LEVEL KIT SENSOR, WHICH DID NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE. WITHIN WEEKS, THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE, WHICH ALSO DID NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE. A MONTH LATER THEY REPAIRED THE FULL TANK HOSES, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. A YEAR LATER, THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. AFTER ALL OF THESE REPAIRS, THE FAILURE HAS NOT YET BEEN PROPERLY CORRECTED. THE FAILURE IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR LESS THAN A WEEK WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE WENT FROM 1/2 OF A TANK TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING. THEN IT WENT BACK UP TO 1/2 OF A TANK A MINUTE LATER. WHEN I WENT DOWN A HILL THE VEHICLE STALLED AND HAD TO BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS SCARED ME. I LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER BUT FOUND NO RECALL, HOWEVER I FOUND THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM IN OTHER 05 PACIFICAS AND I FOUND THAT THEY HAD BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE MY CAR BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING FIXED BUT AM DESPERATE TO FIND OUT IF THIS RECALL COULD BE MY PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STALLS AND READS THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THERE IS GAS IN THE VEHICLE. IT OCCURS REGULARLY. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET. I WAS TOLD EGR SYSTEM, THEN THROTTLE BODY, AND NOW I SUPPOSEDLY NEED A $1000 FUEL PUMP JOB. VERY IRRITATED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHENEVER THE FUEL TANK REACHES THE HALF FULL MARK, IT IMMEDIATELY DROPS TO EMPTY. THE FAILURE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WITHIN A MILE OF BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES IN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR THE PCM MODULE, WHICH HAS BEEN CHANGED THREE TIMES SINCE THE CONTACT HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

OUR DAUGHTER WAS OPERATING OUR 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON I75 IN FLORIDA WHEN THE A NEW RIGHT REAR (1501 MILES) GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN AND SKID 300 FEET BEFORE HITTING GUARDRAILS WITH BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE CAR. AN EYE WITNESS CONFIRMED THE BLOWOUT WHICH RESULTED IN COMPLETE TREAD AND SIDEWALL SEPARATION TO THE ATTENDING FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER. OUR DAUGHTER AND FOUR YEAR OLD GRANDSON WERE TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO THE PASCO REGIONAL HOSPITAL TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF THEIR INJURIES. THE FOUR YEAR OLD WAS NOT INJURED, HOWEVER OUR DAUGHTER SUFFERED NECK AND BACK TRAUMA AND IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING PHYSICAL THERAPY THREE TIMES PER WEEK. ALL FOUR GOODYEAR TIRES WERE PURCHASED NEW IN LATE MARCH 2008 FROM AN AUTHORIZED GOODYEAR DEALER IN TAMPA FLORIDA. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS PASSED BY AN 18-WHEELER TRACTOR TRAILER AND HER SUN ROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BANG. SHE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT UNTIL JUNE 16, 2008 FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE FOR THE REPAIR, AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE SUN ROOF AT THE COST OF $343.74. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,607 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,652. UPDATED 07/15/08. *LJ UPDATED 007/15/08

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT IT WOULD NOT START PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE $881. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF HER VIN IS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 97,000.

MOTOR MOUNTS CRACKED 23,000 MILES,CV JOINTS BAD,AIR COMPRESSOR BAD,BELTS SQUEAL AND CHIRPING,ENGINE STALLS ON TAKE OFF, ENGINE SHUT OFF ON HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING DANGEROUS,BRAKES FAILED, ABS SENSORS BAD FRONT RIGHT AND LEFT. TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHEN SIGNAL LIGHT IS ON. *TR

MY MICHELIN ENERGY PLUS LX4 TIRES HAVE BEEN LOSING AIR PRESSURE AT AN EXTREME RATE. WE MUST PUT AIR IN THEM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. TOOK THE CAR (2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA) TO THE ONLY LOCAL MICHELIN DEALER. WHEN WE EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM, WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE TIRE, TECHNICIAN SAID HE ALREADY KNEW THE PROBLEM- THAT IT IS VERY COMMON. MICHELIN TIRES REACT WITH ALUMINUM RIMS (WHICH MY PACIFICA HAS) AND CAUSE OXIDATION. HE SAID IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE- THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEM PUT A NEW SEALANT BETWEEN THE TIRES AND THE RIMS- COST OF APPROX. $80. HE COULD NOT TELL ME IF AND/OR WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. MY PACIFICA WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION 1 1/2 WEEKS AFTER THE TIRES WERE "RE-SEALED" BY THE MICHELIN DEALER. AT THAT TIME, THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED AND SET TO CORRECT PRESSURE (NOT SURE IF THEY WERE LOW AT THE TIME) AS STATED ON MY RECEIPT. 1 WEEK LATER, ALL TIRES ARE DOWN AT LEAST 8 PSI- 2 ARE DOWN 12 PSI. *TR

I BEGAN HAVING A PROBLEM ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WITH MY ABS LIGHT COMING ON. IT WOULD COME ON AND TURN OFF RANDOMLY. RECENTLY THE LIGHT CAME ON PERMANENTLY AND MY BRAKES BEGAN GRINDING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THE ABS SENSOR IS BAD. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS CRACKED AND MUST BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, AND HAS 47000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE DEALER THAT WE PURCHASED IT FROM ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY RECALL INFORMATION REGARDING EITHER PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT BOTH PROBLEMS ARE DANGEROUS, SINCE THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY IN MY SITUATION. IF CRACKED MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT TAKEN CARE OF, THEY COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE COMPONENTS. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THESE PROBLEMS AT THEIR COST. I'VE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT EVEN AFTER THEY'VE "FIXED" THE PROBLEM, THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK BOTH OF THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. *TR

WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES SUDDENLY, THE CAR WOBBLES VIOLENTLY AND ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. THE DEALER SAYS THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, BUT DID NOTHING TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED, ACCORDING TO MY DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 16, 2005. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP 11/06 BECAUSE OF A SEAT BELT PROBLEM AND WHEN I WAS THERE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT. RECALL F-44. I HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP PRIOR TO THAT. THIS WEEK MY CAR STALLED TWICE. ONCE WHEN TURNING LEFT, ONCE WHEN TURNING RIGHT. CAR WAS ABLE TO START UP AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (CHRYSLER JEEP OF WHITE PLAINS AT 70 WESTCHESTER AVE., WHITE PLAINS, NY 10601 PHONE: 914-946-3544). THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED 2 NEW FUEL PUMPS AND IT WOULD COST $1210 AND IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO RECALL NOTICE. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THE F-44 RECALL ONLINE WHICH STATES A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT THE LAST 2 DAYS TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP (WHICH HAS MY CAR) AND DAIMLER-CHRYSLER REGARDING THE PROBLEM. THE HEADQUARTERS FIRST TOLD ME MY PUMP PROBLEM WAS PART OF THE RECALL AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE PUMPS FREE OF CHARGE. BUT WHEN THE DEALERSHIP TALKED TO THEM THEY TOLD HQ THAT THEY HAD BEEN DIRECTED TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMPS ONLY ON CERTAIN 2005 PACIFICAS. ONLY ON ONES MANUFACTURED WITHIN A CERTAIN DATE. THEY SAID ON MY 2005 PACIFICA THEY ONLY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE PCM. I, AS A CONSUMER, SEE IT THAT ONE RECALL WAS MADE AND IT WAS MADE BECAUSE OF A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM WHICH WOULD CAUSE A CAR TO STALL. I AM HAVING THOSE PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME TH

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS A STALLING PROBLEM. AT SLOW SPEEDS IT STALLS OUT ON ME AND ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWS DOWN. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 05 PACIFICA IN JUNE OF 05. I WAS NOT IN ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS BUT WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER FOR THE INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY RED FLAGGED MY VIN#. I TOOK FOR A 2ND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THE INFORMATION THE DEALER PUT ON THE ESTIMATE WAS SOMEWHAT ACCURATE...I DID CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD ALL OF THE REPAIRS, PAID MY DEDUCTIBLE BUT AM WONDERING HOW MANY OF THIS VEHICLE HAD THIS PROBLEM? ALSO SHOULDN'T THIS HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY...I WAS TOLD NO BY THE DEALER?

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE AIR BAG SENSOR FAILS TO ACTIVATE WHEN AN OCCUPANT IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, REGARDLESS OF THEIR WEIGHT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE ARE TWO SENSORS IN THE SEAT THAT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THEY WERE DESIGNED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000. UPDATED 5/19/08 *CN THE CONSUMER ALSO COPLAINED ABOUT WIND NOISE. UPDATED

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE PLACED FUEL IN THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE SHOWED THAT THE TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY TAKE A FEW GALLONS AND NOTHING MORE. SHE WOULD ATTEMPT TO FORCE MORE GAS INTO THE TANK, BUT IT WOULD SPILL OUT. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON THE CONTACT DUE TO THE LACK OF GAS NOT INDICATED BY THE FUEL GAUGE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LEVEL SENSORS THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE MODULAR FUEL PUMP AND THE PRIMARY PUMP. ON APRIL 20, 2007, THE DEALER REPAIRED THE HOSES ON THE FUEL LINE. ON MARCH 11, 2008, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE TANK, BUT IT ONLY TOOK SIX GALLONS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FUEL INDICATOR WENT TO EMPTY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED BOTH FUEL PUMPS. THE DEALER INFORMED HER THAT SHE HAD NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,904 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,233.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE GOES FORWARD. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE HANDLING FAILS. THE DEALER STATED THAT A MINIMUM 4-HOUR DIAGNOSTIC IS NEEDED TO IDENTIFY THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,500.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 15-20- MPH, THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. APPROXIMATELY ONE MONTH LATER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE DEALER REPAIRED THE RECALL FOR THE POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE (NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V432000); HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE POWERTRAIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,500 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 49,065.

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN MICHIGAN IN 2006 AND IMPORTED INTO CANADA. THE VEHICLE HAS 31,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL RAPIDLY. I NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND FOUND THE OIL LEVEL TO VIRTUALLY NOT APPEAR ON THE DIPSTICK. THE CHECK OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THIS COULD HAVE LED TO THE FAILURE OF MY MOTOR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO HAD A CYLINDER MISFIRE AND SPARK PLUGS REPLACED DUE TO THIS. *TR
