2005 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

ON FEBRUARY 9,2007 I WAS REAR ENDED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT AROUND 45 MPH. THIS RESULTED IN MY KNEES SLAMING INTO THE DASH AREA AND THEN FALLING BACK VERY HARD IN MY SEAT, WHICH ENDED UP LAYING FLAT. *JB

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2005 PACIFICA AWD. IN NOV 06, THE VEHICLE STALLED COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND BOTH TIMES, WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. DURING THE SAME TIME, WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE WARNOCK EAST HANOVER (NJ) DEALER (SAME PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) TO FIX IT. THEY FIXED THE STALLING RECALL ISSUE AND OTHER MINOR ISSUES AND SAID THAT IT'S DRIVABLE NOW AND ASSURED ME THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY, IT STALLED AGAIN AND NEARLY AVERTED AN ACCIDENT. IT'S REALLY SCARY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 6000 MILES ON IT AS IT HAS BEEN PRIMARILY USED TO DROP MY DAUGHTER IN SCHOOL. NOW, MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AS SHE IS SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. I DON'T BLAME HER AS IT HAS STALLED THREE TIMES SO FAR AND WE CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN WITH SUCH A HUMONGOUS SAFETY ISSUE! RIGHT NOW, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IS SITTING AT THE MERCY OF THE DEALERSHIP AS I TYPE THIS...*NM

CAR STALL OUT WHILE TURNING. *NM

WE BOUGHT A 05 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN JULY OF 05. WE HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR NUMEROUS PROBLEMS. 1. REPLACEMENT OF A REAR TIRE BECAUSE OF LOTS OF CRACKS IN THE SIDEWALL. 2. VIBRATION IN THE FRONT LEFT ABOVE THE LEFT WHEEL, WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A LOOSE COMPUTER AND IT WAS FIXED. 3. LEFT REAR ROTOR BEGAN WEARING A SIGNIFICANT GROOVE, DEALERSHIP MACHINED BOTH REAR ROTORS. 4. ACCELERATOR BEGAN STICKING ESPECIALLY AFTER CRUISE CONTROL WAS USED. THIS HAS OCCURRED TWICE AND BOTH TIMES THE STATED THAT THE THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE CLEANED. PROBLEM HAS SINCE RE-OCCURRED. 5. THE DASH CAP HAD TO BE REPLACED BECAUSE OF A HUMP IN THE RIGHT SIDE NEAR THE DEFROST VENT AND BECAUSE OF A SAG IN THE CENTER PART OF THE DASH, DEALER REPLACED THE DASH CAP. LEFT REAR PASSENGER DOOR JAM LACKS SUFFICIENT PAINT, DEALERSHIP NOTED IT AND STATED THAT IT WAS NOT A NECESSITY TO FIX. 6. IN THE TAILGATE SECTION WHEN YOU RAISE THE LIFTGATE THE TRIM MOLDING WAS SAGGING, DEALERSHIP REPLACED IT. 7. CARPET BEHIND THE REAR SEAT WAS LOOSE, DEALERSHIP REPAIRED THAT. 8. LEAKING RED FLUID FROM THE FRONT RIGHT PASSENGER SIDE. 9. FROM ABOUT 8,000 MILES THERE HAS BEEN A CLICKING POPPING NOISE FROM THE FRONT WHEELS, IT STARTED WHEN YOU TURNED THE CAR FROM EITHER DIRECTIONS AND PROGRESSED TO CLICKING AND POPPING ANYTIME ALL THE TIME. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TRIED TO FIX IT NUMEROUS TIMES BY REPLACING AXLES HUB BEARINGS, HUB ASSEMBLIES, GASKETS NONE OF WHICH HAS WORKED. AFTER THE 8TH ATTEMPT TO HAVE IT FIXED WE

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. ON THREE OCCASIONS THE GAS PEDAL ON THIS CAR HAS STUCK. THE CAR IS UNDER WARRANTY. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER, KERRY IN MILFORD, OHIO AND ASKED TO HAVE THIS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION CORRECTED. THEIR SERVICE PEOPLE TELL ME THAT THIS IS "WEAR AND TEAR" AND NOT COVERED BY THE WARRANTY, AND THAT I CAN PAY $170 FOR THEM TO CLEAN OUT THE "GUNK" UNDER THE CAR, WHICH IS LIKELY TO BE CAUSING THE STICKING. IN OVER 40 YEARS OF DRIVING I HAVE NEVER HAD THIS PROBLEM BEFORE. I WROTE CHRYSLER WHO INITIALLY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T REPAIR BECAUSE THE WARRANTY WAS RUN, AND THEN, WHEN I CORRECTED THAT ERROR, SAID IT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER THE BUMPER TO BUMPER WARRANTY. *JB

THE GLASS OF THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA SHATTERED AND EXPLODED OUT. I HAD PARKED THE CAR AT MY SCHOOL AND LOCKED IT. WHEN I CAME OUT AFTER CLASS I NOTICED THE WINDOW HAD TWO HOLES IN IT. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT MY CAR, BUT WHEN I GOT CLOSER I SAW GLASS ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE MY CAR. A PERSON WALKING BY SAW THE WHOLE THING AND LEFT NOTE. HE WROTE THAT HE HEARD AND SAW MY WINDOW BREAK. HE SAID THERE WAS NOBODY NEAR THE CAR AT THE TIME. I BELIEVE THE GLASS IN THE PACIFICA IS DEFECTIVE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 35 DEGREES. THERE WAS NO GLASS IN MY VEHICLE. IT WAS AS IF THE WINDOW JUST SHATTERED AND EXPLODED OUT. MY FEAR IS THAT THE REST OF MY WINDOWS WILL ALSO BE DEFECTIVE AND WILL SHATTER AND EXPLODE WHEN THE CAR IS OCCUPIED AND HURT SOMEONE. IF THIS PASSERBY HAD NOT WITNESSED THE SUA SPONTE SHATTERING I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT SOMEONE JUST HIT MY CAR. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM WITHOUT WITNESSES AND JUST THOUGHT THEY HAD BEEN A VICTIM OF VANDALISM. *NM

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE ITS PURCHASE DATE. 1/12/05- INITIALLY VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ~10 MPH AFTER SLIGHT RIGHT CURVE. NO PROBLEM FOUND. 6/9/05- THE 2ND TIME IT OCCURRED WAS ON A HILL , COMING TO A STOP TO TURN RIGHT. NO PROBLEM FOUND. 7/22/05- DURING LEFT TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, STRAIGHTENING WHEEL TO RIGHT STALLED. AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER TECHNICIAN, FUEL TANK BELIEVED TO HAVE PROBLEM, REPLACED FUEL PUMP. 2/27/06- STALLED AGAIN- NO PROBLEM FOUND 9/26/06- SENSOR FAILURE OCCURRED ON ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL. 12/12/06- VEHICLE LOST ALL FRONT LIGHTS IN DASH AND WIPERS. -REPLACED BODY CONTROL COMPUTER. 1/16/07 VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING ON STATE ROUTE AT 45 MPH- NO PROBLEM FOUND. *NM

BOUGHT 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN JULY 2006. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE GAS GAUGE IS AT APPROXIMATELY 1/3 TANK OF GAS IT SUDDENLY DROPS TO EMPTY AND BEGINS STALLING UPON TURNS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND ASKED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK WHEN IT WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 1/3 TANK SO THEY COULD DO TESTING. I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE ONE WHOLE DAY FOR THIS AND DID NOT HAVE TIME TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN. NEXT, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT CLAIMED TO FIX THE STALLING PROBLEM. YESTERDAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. AGAIN, I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE ALL DAY. TODAY, AFTER THE RECALL, MY VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE GAS GAUGE DROPPED SUDDENLY TO EMPTY AND BEGAN STALLING AT THIS POINT. THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE RELATED. AFTER THE CAR IS READING EMPTY AND I PROCEED TO PUT GASOLINE IN THE TANK IT WILL ONLY ALLOW 13 GALLONS TO BE PUMPED, THE OWNERS MANUAL CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A 23 GALLON TANK. HOWEVER, I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO PUT MORE THAN 13 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK. ALSO, EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN I TRY TO PUT FUEL IN THE TANK, THE HOSE WILL CONTINUALLY SHUT OFF AS IF THE VEHICLE IS FULL. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS THE WHOLE TIME I AM FILLING UP AND I HAVE TO JUST KEEP ON CLICKING, CLICKING, CLICKING . . . TO GET THE GAS TO GO INTO THE VEHICLE. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED OUR FAMILY MUCH DISTRESS AND THE STALLING IS A VERY REAL SAFETY

11/18/06 - CAR STALLED IN PARKING LOT IN OCEAN CITY, MD. WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT 8 HRS. LATER. 11/19/06 - CAR STALLED ON CHESAPEAKE BAY BRIDGE (US 50) NEAR END HEADING WESTWARD.

CAR TOWED TO DEALER TATE CHRYSLER JEEP, INC., GLEN BURNIE, MD. 11/22/06 - RECEIVED IN MAIL DAIMLER CHRYSLER'S SAFETY RECALL F44 --FUEL PUMP AND OR REPROGRAM PCM STATING THAT A PROBLEM COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO STALL AND CAUSE A CRASH WITHOUT WARNING. I TOOK THE RECALL NOTICE TO THE DEALER. SERVICE MANAGER SAID THAT WAS NOT THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. HE SAID HALF OF THE ENGINE WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. FINAL COST --$4976 PARTS AND LABOR. WORK WAS COMPLETED ON 01/05/07. ON 01/11/07, AFTER ABOUT 300 MILES OF DRIVING, ENGINE STALLED ON BALTIMORE-WASHINGTON PARKWAY (MD295). I WAS AGAIN ABLE TO COAST OFF ONTO THE SHOULDER. CAR WAS TOWED BACK TO TATE CHRYSLER, WHERE IT IS NOW LOCATED. *JB

DATING BACK TO THE SPRING OF 2006, I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE "ABS" LIGHT SYMBOL CONSTANTLY COMING ON IN MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERS ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND TOLD THEM THAT WHEN I'M TRAVELING FOR 10-15 MINUTES OR LONGER IT COMES ON. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG AND THEY EVEN TEST DROVE MY VEHICLE. I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. I'M AFRAID THAT THE BRAKING SYSTEM IS GOING TO FAIL ON ME ALL TOGETHER. *JB

TL* - THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON 01/05/07, HER 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS STALLING. IN ORDER FOR VEHICLE TO WORK CONTACT WOULD HAVE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE.

RICK HENDRICK JEEP/CHRYSLER, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC DID NOT PERFORM THE NECESSARY JOB DUTIES TO REMEDY THE SAFETY RECALL OF THE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE DEALER HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS, BUT THE RECALL WAS NOT PROPERLY CORRECTED WHICH CAUSED MAJOR DANGER TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY! I FIRST BEGAN TO SMELL GAS ON TUESDAY EVENING AFTER I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND CONTINUED TO SMELL EXCESSIVE GAS ON WEDNESDAY SO I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I WAS TOLD TO BRING MY VEHICLE BACK TO BE CHECKED OUT, BUT THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS FOUND! SO I RETURNED HOME ON THEIR WORD. THE VERY NEXT DAY, THURSDAY, I PROCEEDED TO FILL MY GAS TANK AGAIN TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP OUT OF STATE THAT EVENING, BUT AS MY TANK WAS FILLING SO WAS THE GROUND OF THE GAS STATION...I WAS VERY UPSET AT THIS POINT!!!! I CALLED RICK HENDRICK'S SERVICE MANAGER WHO DIDN'T EXHIBIT ANY REMORSE FOR MY ENDANGERMENT! I WAS QUITE IRATE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I FELT ENDANGERED AND WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN, BUT COULD NOT LEAVE DUE TO RICK HENDRICK'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF ME AS A CUSTOMER SATIFACTORILY! I TOLD THE S.M. THAT I WANTED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE TWO GAS FILL-UPS THAT I HAD LOST DUE TO THEIR PROBLEM, BUT HE DID NOT COMPENSATE ME! MY VEHICLE AND MYSELF WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND FINALLY THEY FOUND THAT THEY WERE AT FAULT...NOT MYSELF! THEY DID NOT PUT THE CORRECT SEAL ON MY VEHICLE, THEREFORE, THE GAS WAS LEAKING OUT! I WAS NOT TREATED SATISFACTORILY ONCE I A

TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAD TO LIVE WITH IT AS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR THEY CAN NOT FIX. SO NEED TO NOW WHAT TO DO. ALSO ENGINE STALLS. THIS HAS HAPPENED TWICE. THE FIRST TIME I WAS AT A CRAWL IN TRAFFIC, BUT AT AN INCLINE ONTO A BRIDGE. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND THEN PUT IT ON THE GAS PETAL TO ACCELERATE AND THE CAR DIED. LIGHTS AND DASH BOARD ARE LIT BUT CAR IS SHUT OFF. CAR RESTARTED WITH NO PROBLEM. SECOND TIME, I WAS PARKING IN A SPOT THAT WAS AGAIN AT AN INCLINE. I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE, TOOK MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE AND STEPPED ON THE GAS PETAL TO BEGIN DRIVING IN REVERSE, CAR DIED. BOTH TIMES I HAD APPROXIMATELY 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS. ALSO THE SHOP DON'T WANT TO GIVE YOU A RENTAL OR LONER CAR WHILE THE REPAIRS ARE DONE. *JB

ON OCTOBER 25, 2006 I DROVE DOWN MY LANE IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO PICK UP MY MAIL AT THE END OF THE DRIVEWAY MY 4 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER WAS IN THE BACK SEAT IN A CAR SEAT. AFTER RETRIEVING MY MAIL. I BACKED UP AND BUMPED A SMALL TREE. I THEN PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND AT THAT MOMENT WAS PROPELLED FORWARD AT A HIGH SPEED WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. WITHIN AN INSTANT I COLLIDED WITH A LARGER TREE. I HIT MY HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD, BREAKING THE GLASS. NO AIR BAGS DEPLOYED. THE ENTIRE FRONT BUMPER OF THE CAR WAS DESTROYED AT THE CENTER POINT. MY DAUGHTER BIT HER TONGUE, BUT OTHERWISE WAS FINE. THE CAR COULD NOT BE MOVED AFTER THAT AS THE STEERING FLUID WAS EMPTIED ONTO THE DRIVEWAY. WE FILED A POLICE REPORT AND HAD AAA TOW THE CAR. I WAS THEN TAKEN TO EMERGENCY. I HAD HIT MY HARD ENOUGH TO BREAK THE WINDSHIELD AND HAD CAT SCAN AND REPORTED TO HAVE A CONCUSSION. THE DAMAGE TO THE CAR WAS APPROXIMATELY $7000.00. MY INSURANCE COMPANY, WESTFIELD INSURANCE COVERED EVERYTHING EXCEPT A $500 DEDUCTIBLE, AND DID SUPPLY ME WITH A RENTAL CAR FOR 30 DAYS. ON NOVEMBER 25, 2006 I RECEIVED MAIL FROM CHRYSLER INFORMING ME OF A FUEL PUMP RECALL. ON MONDAY, DIRECTLY AFTER PICKING THE CAR, I IMMEDIATELY TOOK THE CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL. I WILL NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL THE FUEL PUMP HAS BEEN REPAIRED. I KNOW THAT THE REASON I WENT FORWARD WITHOUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS WAS DUE TO FUEL INJECTION OR FUEL PUMP ISSUES. ON TUESDAY NOVEMBER 28, LADD HANFORD CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THA

MULTIPLE TIMES MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS STALLED FOR NO REASON. I CAN BE DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST STALLS. I HAVE TO PUT CAR BACK INTO PARK AND TURN KEY OFF, THEN I CAN RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE, AND STILL THERE SEEMS TO BE "NOTHING" WRONG WITH THE CAR. *JB

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHEN MAKING A SHARP TURN. IT SHUT OFF TODAY 11/26/06 WHEN PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC ALMOST CAUSING USE TO BE INVOLVED IN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN CAR. THE FIRST FEW TIMES IT HAPPENED I WAS DRIVING AND I THOUGHT MAYBE MY LEG HIT THE KEY AS IT IS POSITIONED POORLY FOR TALL DRIVERS BUT ,THE IGNITION WOULD STILL BE IN THE ON POSITION SO. TONIGHT AGAIN IT HAPPENED AND MY WIFE IS 5'1 AND COMES NO WHERE'S NEAR THE KEY. IT TURNS OFF ON ITS OWN. I AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY WHILE OPERATING THIS VEHICLE. *NM

SINCE I HAVE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN FEB 2005 THE STEERING WHEEL HAS A VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING AROUND 55-70 MPH, NO ACCIDENTS HAVE RESULTED FROM THIS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO 2 DIFFERENT AUTHORIZED SERVICE STATIONS AND THEY HAVE BALANCED THE TIRES AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. NOW I HAVE A NOTICEABLE SHAKE AND GRINDING WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES AT ANY SPEED. APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED TO INSPECT BRAKES AND FRONT END SHAKE. *NM

ONE IT HAPPENED JUST 10 MINUTES AFTER I HAD DRIVEN THE CAR. CHRYSLER DEALER CLAIMS IT HAPPENS TO MANY. IT STRANDED ME. *NM

I OWN A CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2005. I HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND IT HAS STALLED ON ME 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN IT SHUT OFF. THE WHEEL LOCKED, RADIO TURNED OFF EVERYTHING. I HAD TO QUICKLY RESTART THE CAR TO AVOID BEING HIT BY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE SECOND TIME I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT SHUT WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. I DIDN'T KNOW IT SHUT OFF UNTIL I HIT THE GAS. THE THIRD AND FORTH TIME IT HAS SHUT OFF AS WELL WHILE DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS THIS HAPPENING THIS WEEK. ALL OF THESE TIMES I HAVE HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER AND I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO THE VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP SO THAT THEY COULD LOOK IT OVER. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THAT BECAUSE THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM, THEY COULD NOT FIX ANYTHING. I EXPLAINED TO THEM THAT I IT WASN'T SOMETHING I COULD RE-PRODUCE. IT IS SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS FROM TIME TO TIME WITH NO WARNING. AGAIN THEY TOLD ME AS WELL THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE. *NM

WHEN CONTACTING THE MANUFACTURER IT WAS STATED THE PREVIOUS DEALERSHIP REPORTED THE WORK HAD BEEN DONE AND A SECOND REPAIR WOULD NOT BE AUTHORIZED. THE VEHICLE DOES NOT HAVE THE PROBLEM ASSOCIATED WITH THE RECALL.

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLS WITHOUT WARNING. THIS IS THE 3RD TIME IN 2 MONTHS THAT MY PACIFICA HAS JUST DIED @ LOW SPEED. THE CAR DOESN'T JUST STALL, BUT IT COMPLETELY SHUTS DOWN. EACH TIME THAT IT STALLED, ALL OF THE ELECTRONICS TURNED OFF, HOWEVER, THE ONLY THING THAT WAS ON WAS THE OIL LIGHT. WHEN THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, NO FAULT CODES WERE RETURNED.*JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED EACH TIME. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE IGNITION SYSTEM, CHECKED COMPUTER CODES, AND EVALUATED WIRING HARNESS, BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED.*AK

WE HAD BEEN TRAVELING AT A SPEED OF 55 MPH ON A 2 LANE HIGHWAY. MY HUSBAND SLOWED THE CAR TO MAKE A LEFT HAND TURN. THE CAR WAS GOING 20 MILES PER HOUR WHEN IT STALLED COMPLETELY. WE LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES AND ALL ABILITY TO CONTROL THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY MY HUSBAND REACTED QUICKLY AND FORCEFULLY ENOUGH TO AVOID HITTING AN ONCOMING CAR. THE CAR WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THE PROBLEM WAS UNABLE TO BE REPRODUCED. RETURNED HOME THE THE CAR AND IT HAPPENED AGAIN. I EVEN OFFERED TO TAKE THE SERVICE MANAGER WITH ME TO THE LOCATION WHERE THE INCIDENT OCCURRED. HE REFUSED. NOTHING MORE WAS ADDRESSED BY THE DEALERSHIP. *NM

STALL WHILE VEHICLE MOVING. IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS BETWEEN APRIL 06 AND JULY 06. WE HAD TSB FIX 1803905 IN AUG. 06. NO PROBLEMS UNTIL OCTOBER 17, 2006 WHEN IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED IN A STRAIGHT LINE. NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN STRAIGHT LINE OR TURN IN FRONT OF CARS I AM VERY AWARE THAT MY CAR MAY NOT BE RUNNING. IT IS A VERY INSECURE FEELING. \ THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME WITH THIS MATTER. *NM

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR THE BACK END SWERVES AND SHAKES AS YOU GO AROUND CURVES AND THE BACK OF THE CAR BODY ROLLS FROM SIDE TO SIDE. AN ACCIDENT HAS NOT OCCURRED YET, BUT THE DEALER HAS LOOKED AT THE CAR SEVERAL TIMES AND SAYS THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH IT. NM

I BROUGHT MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP IN LATE AUGUST FOR REGULAR MAINTENANCE. I TOLD THEM I WAS HAVING A LONG CRANK WHEN STARTING THE CAR. THEY SAID I PROBABLY DID NOT PUT THE GAS CAP ON TIGHT AND AIR GOT INTO THE TANK. I DISAGREED WITH THIS BUT SUPPOSEDLY DIAGNOSTICS THESE DAYS PICK UP ON EVERYTHING. A WEEK LATER I WAS DRIVING DOWN AN INCLINE AND MY GAS GAUGE DROPPED FROM 1/2 TANK TO E. I IMMEDIATELY PULLED INTO A GAS STATION AND THE TANK TOOK 15 GALLONS. WE RUN THROUGH A TANK OF GAS MAYBE ONCE EVERY TWO WEEKS. USUALLY, I TOP OFF THE TANK. THEREFORE, I DID NOT NOTICE THIS PROBLEM AGAIN UNTIL LAST WEEKEND. IN THIS INSTANCE, WHEN THE GAS GAUGE GOT TO JUST BELOW 1/2 TANK , DROPPED TO E AND STALLED. WE WERE IN HIGHWAY TRAFFIC. WE IMMEDIATELY RESTARTED THE CAR AND GOT TO A GAS STATION. THE CAR WOULD ONLY TAKE 8 GALLONS. I AM BRINGING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW. BTW, STILL HAVE THE LONG CRANK...IT HAS NEVER GONE AWAY. *NM

CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLED AT A LOW SPEED WHILE MAKING A TURN INTO A PARKING LOT. TOOK VEHICLE TOOK DEALERSHIP THE SAME DAY AND THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM. *NM

THERE WAS AN OPEN NHTSA INVESTIGATION #EA06013 WHICH PERTAINED TO ENGINE, FUEL SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN AND VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL.

ENGINES STALLS ON RARE OCCASIONS. GENERALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING WITHIN A PARKING LOT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. *JB

CAR BURST INTO FIRE, AFTER SHUT DOWN, CAUSING THE LOSS OF TWO AUTOMOBILES AND HOME. ORIGIN OF FIRE WAS DETERMINED TO BE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFIC THAT HAD JUST RECENTLY BEEN SERVICED FOR A HEAD LIGHT WIRING RECALL. *NM

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLED WHILE TURNING LEFT AT A SLOW SPEED. THIS HAPPENED WHILE GOING AROUND A ROUNDABOUT IN THE ROAD. UNSAFE BECAUSE THE POWER STEERING AND BRAKES MAKE CONTROLLING CAR VERY HARD. *NM

WE HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THAT KEEPS CUTTING OFF. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPEN I THOUGHT WELL MAYBE IT WAS SOMETHING I DID. THE SECOND TIME WAS WHEN I WAS TURNING ONTO A 2 LANE ROAD COME HOME LATE. THE CAR JUST TURNED COMPLETELY OFF. NO WARNING AT ALL. THANKFULLY THE CAR SWERVED AND MISSED ME AND MY KIDS. I THEN TOOK IT TOALLEN SAMUEL'S ALLIANCE. I TOLD THEM WHAT WAS HAPPENING AND ALSO TOLD THEM MY LEFT LIGHT KEEPS HAVING A SHORT IN IT. AND AT TIMES CUTS OFF. THE DEALER CALLED ME BACK AND ADVISED THAT THE LIGHT HAD A DEFECT TO IT AND THAT FOR THE ENGINE FAILURE IT WAS DUE TO MY THROTTLE NEEDING TO BE CLEANED. THAT WAS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND HAD TO PAY $300 TO GET THAT CLEANED. I THEN WAS CALLED BACK SEVERAL HOURS LATER AND WAS TOLD THAT THE THROTTLE HAD BEEN CLEAN BUT IT THEY TEST DROVE IT AND IT SEEMED LIKE SOMETHING ELSE WAS GOING ON. THEY ASKED IF I WOULD LET THEM KEEP IT UNTIL THE MORNING SO THAT THEY CAN HAVE THERE TECH LOOK AT IT AGAIN IN THE MORNING. I SAID OKAY ALTHOUGH AT THIS POINT IT WAS GOING ON THE 4TH DAY WITH OUT HAVING A REPLACEMENT VEHICLE. I WAS CALLED THE NEXT DAY AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE REAR MOTOR MOUNT THAT NEED TO BE REPLACED. AND THAT WAS COVERED HOWEVER I NEED TO PAY MY DEDUCTIBLE. WE WENT AHEAD AND HAD THEM FIX THE PROBLEM . THIS WAS AT THE END OF JULY. IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER AND MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IS IN THE SHOP AGAIN .BECAUSE AS I WAS DRIVING IT STALED ON ME AGAIN... TOOK IT BACK TO THE SHOP AND ON MY WAY THERE IT STALED AGAIN. ALL O

1) I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND EXITED. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY MY CAR STALLED AND I LOST ALL CONTROL, FORTUNATELY, DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. 2) CAR STALLED WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY, SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. LOST ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLE. 3) RESTARTED CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY. NOW THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SO I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE IF THEY CAN IDENTIFY SOURCE OF PROBLEM AS THIS COULD BE VERY SERIOUS IF IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND TURNING LEFT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO DELAY. THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE PROBLEM.

DRIVING CAR THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON, FIRST OCCURRENCE FEB. 2006 SINCE THEN 3 ADDITIONAL TIMES WITHIN ONE MONTH. RECENTLY NOTICED WHEN ABS COMES ON BRAKING IS AWKWARD AND ON SEPT. 12 WHEN ABS CAME ON FELT AS IF/SOUNDED SOMETHING WAS BREAKING/CRACKING. RIGHT/LEFT SENSORS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT PROBLEM KEEPS OCCURRING. *NM

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND THE ABS LIGHT IS ON. HAS TO 2 REPAIR SHOPS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. THEY HAVE TRIED TO PULL THE CODES BUT NO CODE WAS AVAILABLE. AND THE LIGHT IS STILL ON. ONE SHOP REPLACED THE LEFT REAR HUB ASSEMBLY BECAUSE IT WAS NOT READING. THE PROBLEM IS STILL THERE AND I AM OUT 200.00 DOLLARS FOR THE HUB ASSEMBLY. THE CODES HAVE BEEN CLEARED SEVERAL TIMES BUT THE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON WITH NO CODE STORED IN THE COMPUTER. *JB

ABOUT A MONTH AND A HALF AGO, MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2005 STARTED TO HAVE A COUPLE OF PROBABLY RELATED PROBLEMS, ONE OF WHICH CAN BE DANGEROUS. THE CAR WILL STALL WHEN TURNING LEFT. IF A CAR IS COMING UP BEHIND ME, I COULD GET REAR ENDED. THE OTHER PROBLEM IS THAT MY FUEL GAUGE WILL SHOW A HALF TANK ONE MINUTE AND ALMOST EMPTY THE NEXT. WHEN I HAVE FILLED UP, IT WOULD ONLY TAKE 15 GALLONS, MEANING THAT THERE ARE STILL 8 GALLONS LEFT. I HAVE AN APPOINTMENT IN ONE WEEK WITH MY LOCAL DEALER AND HOPE THAT THEY CAN FIX THIS, AS IT IS POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS. *JB

WE PURCHASED A USED CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON 1/24/06 IN SAVANNAH, GA W/APPROXIMATELY 20K MILES ON IT. APPROXIMATELY 1 MONTH LATER, IT STALLED WHILE MAKING A U-TURN. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS PERHAPS A FLUKE BECAUSE NO MESSAGE LIGHT CAME ON TO HELP DETERMINE THE ISSUE. IT WOULD OCCASIONALLY FEEL LIKE IT WAS GOING TO STALL OR REV ITSELF BUT IT WENT A FEW MONTHS WITH SOME ABS WHEEL SENSOR ISSUES BUT NO STALLING. SINCE JULY 25TH 2006 IT HAS STALLED OR ATTEMPTED TO STALL ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. ON THURSDAY 8/10/06. IT STALLED 2 TIMES AND ATTEMPTED TO STALL MANY MORE. THE FUEL GAUGE THEN DROPPED FROM @ 1/2 A TANK TO "E" AND THE MESSAGE CENTER SAID THAT THE TANK ONLY HAD 32 MILES TO EMPTY. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT IN ASAP. I FUELED UP AND IT ONLY TOOK 12 GALLONS TO FILL UP. IT WAS THEN DROPPED AT THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP KEPT THE CAR FOR 5 DAYS AND WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. A FEW DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND THE CAR WENT BACK AGAIN. THE DEALERSHIP TOLD ME TO KEEP THE CAR FUELED ABOVE 1/2 TANK AND THEN BRING IT IN ON 8/21/06 WITH A 1/2 TANK OR LESS OF FUEL.
