2005 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

CAR STALLED WHILE ACCELERATING AFTER IDLING AT STOP LIGHT. *NM

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING HAS INTERMITTENT STALLING PROBLEMS. MY CAR STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON WHILE THE CAR IS IN OPERATION. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, I HAVE NO BREAKS. THE CAR STARTS UP RIGHT AWAY. THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW. *NM

1) DRIVING THE FIRST TIME, AND SITTING IN PARK THE SECOND TIME 2) CHRYSLER 2005 PACIFICA STALLED OUT FOR NO REASON, BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE ROAD 3) LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

PACIFICA 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. I SAW ON WEBSITE THAT PREVIOUS MODELS HAVE HAD SIMILIAR ISSUES, SO DECIDED TO FILE THE COMPLAINT.

SHUT DOWN ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. *NM

2005 PACIFICA TOURING WAS LEASED IN JULY 2005. SINCE THEN, THE UPGRADED INFINITY SOUND SYSTEM HAS REQUIRED REPAIR TWICE AND REGULARLY MAKES A LOUD POPPING SOUND. THE ABS WARNING LIGHT CAME ON SIGNALING A FAILURE IN THE ANTI-LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM MARCH 2006. I SCHEDULED AN APPOINTMENT FOR MARCH 30, 2006 TO REPAIR THE ABS SYSTEM AND ON MY WAY TO WORK, I NEEDED TO TURN LEFT, PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE, AND THE CAR SUDDENLY SPED UP INSTEAD OF SLOWING DOWN. A FEW WEEKS PRIOR, WE SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE ANOTHER LEFT TURN AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. I HAD LEASED THE PACIFICA FOR 36 MONTHS, AND LAST WEEK WHEN THE ABS SYSTEM FAILED AND MY CAR SPED UP WHILE BRAKING, I TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND DEMANDED THAT THEY GET ME OUT OF THAT VEHICLE. I WAS ABLE TO TERMINATE MY LEASE AND PURCHASE A JEEP VEHICLE (THE DEALERSHIP SELLS JEEP) BECAUSE AFTER I READ DOZENS OF CONSUMER COMPLAINTS, REVIEWS FROM NHTSA AND CONSUMER AFFAIRS ABOUT THE SAFETY ISSUES OF THIS VEHICLE, I COULDN'T, IN GOOD FAITH, PUT MYSELF OR MY CHILD IN THAT VEHICLE EVER AGAIN. NOT ONLY WOULD DRIVING THE PACIFICA PUT OUR LIVES AT RISK, BUT THAT OF OTHERS. I COULD NOT LIVE WITH MYSELF IF I KNOWINGLY OPERATED A HAZARDOUS VEHICLE AND HURT SOMEONE AS A RESULT. PUSH FOR A REPLACEMENT. YOU'LL GET ONE!*JB

WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN, MY VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. THE ENGINE, POWER STEERING, AND POWER BRAKES FAILED. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL OTHER TIMES. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO MY CHRYSLER DEALER TWICE FOR THIS PROBLEM. EACH TIME, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME MY VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER, THEY REPROGRAMMED THE ENGINE CONTROLLER. HOWEVER, THIS HAS NOT SOLVED THE PROBLEM. I SENT A CERTIFIED LETTER TO CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA ON 11/12/05. IT WAS RECEIVED BY CHRYSLER ON 11/15/05. CHRYLSER DID NOT RESPOND TO MY LETTER. CHRYSLER HAS NEVER RESPONDED TO MY CONCERNS. THIS DEFECT HAS THE POSSIBILITY OF CAUSING A COLLISION RESULTING IN DEATH OR SERIOUS BODILY INJURY.*JB

VEHICLE HAS STALLED/LOST ALL POWER TWICE WHEN MAKING A SLOW LEFT TURN - ONCE IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE OTHER IN A BUSY INTERSECTION. 6,574 AND 8,639 MILES. SERVICE HAS BEEN UNABLE TO DETERMINE PROBLEM AS THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO RECREATE OR CONFIRM THE PROBLEM.

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA- THE BIGGEST PROBLEM "ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING," LEAVING ME UNABLE TO CONTROL THE CAR! NO BREAKS, AND NO STEERING! THERE ARE ALSO PROBLEMS WITH THE RADIO, COMES ON AND OFF ALL BY IT'S SELF, AND DOOR LOCKS SOME TIMES WORK AND OTHER TIMES DO NOT. *NM

ENTERING A BUSY PARKING LOT, AFTER MAKING A SHARP LEFT HAND TURN, THE SUV STALLED AND DIED. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME, IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY WIFE TWICE BEFORE. *NM

A SMALL PIECE OF ROAD DEBRIS ( 1X4 BOARD) CONTACTED THE UNDERSIDE OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA PUNCTURING THE FUEL TANK. THE TANKS IS HUNG LOWER THAN THE SURROUNDING CHASSIS COMPONENTS AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF SHIELD OR SKID PLATE, LEAVING IT RATHER VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS. FURTHERMORE THE TANKS IS LOCATED CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER. COST TO REPLACE THE TANK WAS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER FELT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN AND THAT THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE TO PREVENT THIS FROM RE-OCCURRING. FURTHERMORE THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD NO KNOWLEDGE ON ANY REPORTING SYSTEM WITHIN DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO WHOM WE COULD REPORT OUR CONCERNS. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WITHOUT WARNING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLS. THE VEHICLE IS PULLED OVER AND RESTARTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THE VEHICLE TWICE FOR THIS, BUT IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM.

'05 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ENGINE STALLED WHEN MAKING A HARD TURN INTO A PARKING SPACE. RESTARTED NORMALLY, NO WARNING LIGHTS OR DIAGNOSTICS. *NM

VEHICLE STALLS DURING TURNS. USUALLY THIS OCCURS WHEN TURNING RAPIDLY. HAS OCCURRED SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW AND STILL OCCURS 1 YEAR LATER. OTHERWISE VEHICLE RUNS AND SMOOTH. WHEN A STALL DOES OCCUR, IS HAPPENS WITHOUT NOTICE AND VERY QUIETLY. *JB

VEHICLE ENGINE STALLS WITHOUT ANY WARNING AT ALL. THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, ALWAYS WHEN TURNING A TIGHT CORNER. ENGINE STARTS NORMALLY ONCE STOPPED. *NM

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FEB 2005 AND IT WAS USED WITH 25,000 MI I HAD ONLY HAD THE CAR 10 MONTHS WHEN I WENT TO CRANK IT ONE MORNING AND IT WOULD NOT START UNLESS I GAVE IT GAS OR PUMPED IT BEFORE I TRIED TO CRANK IT. IF I LET IT SIT OVER NIGHT OR FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS IT WOULD NOT CRANK UNLESS I PUMPED THE GAS TOOK TO DEALER SAID I HAD TO PAY FOR REPAIRS B/C I HAD NO WARRANTY B/C I HAD HIT MY 36,000 MI SO A FRIEND AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIPS RAN A DIAGNOSTIC FOR ME AND IT WAS AT THAT TIME MY MAP SENSOR STILL HAVE NOT GOTTEN IT REPAIRED AND THE DEALERSHIP IS AND WILL NOT HELP. *JB

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED INTERMITTENTLY. DURING THE LAST INCIDENT THE VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TRAVELING BETWEEN 45 AND 50 MPH. THE ONLY OPERABLE PART OF THE VEHICLE DURING THE STALLING WAS THE HEATER AND RADIO. AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO PARK THE ENGINE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE PROBLEM COULD NOT BE DUPLICATED. UPDATED 03/20/06. *JB

IN THE 15 MONTHS THAT I HAVE OWNED CHRYSLER PACIFICA THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD HAS COME ON FOUR TIMES. IN THREE OF THESE INSTANCES THE CAR WAS ON THE HIGHWAY GOING A HIGH RATE OF SPEED OF 65 MPH. THE FOURTH TIME INVOLVED IN-TOWN DRIVING. IN EACH CASE THE LIGHT STAYED ON UNTIL THE NEXT TIME THE ENGINE WAS TURNED OFF. I HAVE BROUGHT THIS TO THE ATTENTION OF THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. THEY HAVE CHECKED IT TWICE FOR CODES. HOWEVER, THEY TELL ME THAT NO CODE HAS BEEN RECORDED OR THAT THE SYSTEM HAS ERASED ANY CODE THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN RECORDED. THE DEALERSHIP HAS TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO FIND OUT WHAT THE PROBLEM IS OR TO FIX IT UNLESS I BRING IT IN WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. THIS IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE TO DO SINCE IT HAPPENS RANDOMLY, NO-WHERE NEAR THE DEALERSHIP AND NOT AT A TIME WHEN I CAN JUST STOP AND RUN MY CAR IN FOR SERVICE. THEY ALSO TOLD ME THAT THE AIR BAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON. I AM VERY CONCERNED FOR MY FAMILY'S SAFETY SINCE THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES, AND WE COULD EASILY HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT DURING ONE OF THESE PROLONGED TIMES WHEN THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ACTIVATED. I AM ALSO CONCERNED THAT THE PEOPLE WHO SHOULD KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM CAN'T SEEM TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT A COMPUTER DIAGNOSTIC WHICH THEY CAN'T GET UNLESS THEY CATCH THE PROBLEM AS IT IS OCCURRING. *AK

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AWD 3.5 LITER AND IT WILL STALL WHILE IN TRAFFIC IF I TURN LEFT AT A SLOW SPEED. I HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO ME AND MY WIFE WHILE IN TRAFFIC. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES, AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IT IS. THEY ARE PRETTY MUCH GUESSING. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE 1 DAY SOMEONE WILL BE STALLED IN FRONT OF A BIG TRUCK AND THAT WON'T BE GOOD.*AK

WHILE DRIVING AT MEDIUM SPEEDS THE CAR STALLS LOSING ALL ELECTRICAL AND ENGINE COMPONENTS. WHILE DRIVING THERE IS NO WARNING OF THE STALL, CAR DRIVES FINE AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN NO POWER, NO BRAKES, NO ENGINE. THE CAR STALLS WHEN TURNING, A FEW TIMES TURNING LEFT WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION COMING INCHES AWAY FROM BEING HIT BY OTHER VEHICLES WHILE THE WIFE AND 2 KIDS ARE IN THE CAR. OTHER INSTANCES ON EXIT RAMPS WHILE TURNING COMING INCHES AWAY FROM THE GUARDRAIL AND BEING HIT BY CARS FOLLOWING. TAKEN TO THE DEALER 4 TIMES, SAME RESPONSE, NO SERVICE CODES, CAN'T REPLICATE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD FROM 2 DEALERS, DON'T BRING THE CAR BACK WITH THIS PROBLEM, WE CAN'T FIX IT OR REPLICATE IT. THIS CAR IS A HAZARD! *JB

MY WIFE AND I LEASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN APRIL. THE CAR STALLS FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED WAS WHEN MY WIFE WAS DRIVING WITH OUR 3 SMALL CHILDREN. THE CAR STALLED AND ALL POWER WAS LOST. IT WAS RAINING THAT DAY. I DROVE THE CAR 12/27/05 AND THE CAR STALLED ON ME GOING DOWN A VERY STEEP INCLINE. IT JUST SO HAPPENS THAT IT WAS RAINING THAT DAY TOO. I ALMOST HIT A UTILITY POLL AS I LOST MY STEERING. I HAD TO REALLY PULL ON THE WHEEL AND PUMP THE BRAKES TO PULL OFF THE SIDE OF THE ROAD SAFELY. I TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE CAR. THE CAR WAS BROUGHT BACK TO THE DEALER OF ORIGIN TWICE AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY CONNECTED THE CARS COMPUTER TO A DIAGNOSTIC MACHINE THAT INFORMS THE DEALER IF THE CAR HAS A PROBLEM, BUT BOTH TIMES THE DEALER COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I'M VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE AS I EXPERIENCED A SITUATION THAT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURY TO ME OR ANY OTHER MOTOR VEHICLE OPERATOR THAT I COULD HAVE COLLIDED WITH. I'M PLACING EVERYONE ON NOTICE OF THIS MAJOR PROBLEM IN HOPES THAT SOMEONE WILL DO SOMETHING TO CORRECT IT BEFORE A FAMILY MEMBER,PERHAPS YOURS, DOESN'T COME HOME ONE DAY BECAUSE A PACIFICA STALLED AND RAMMED THE CAR IN WHICH YOUR LOVED ONE WAS AN OCCUPANT. THE FIRST TIME THIS OCCURRED THE CAR HAD 5000 MILES REGISTERED AND THE SECOND TIME IT HAD APPROXIMATELY 10,000. *NM

MY 2005 CRHYSLER PACIFICA IS HAVING BIG SAFETY HAZARD PROBLEMS WHEN I COMPLETELY TURN THE STEERING WHEEL TO THE LEFT AT A CERTAIN SPEED THE CAR SHUTS OFF. THAT HAS HAPPENED 6 TIMES SO FAR. WHEN I TAKE IT TO THE DEALER THEY SAY THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. THIS IS A DEADLY SAFETY HAZARD. *JB

INTERMITTENTLY, ALL ELECTRICAL IN VEHICLE FAILS. UNABLE TO START, NO POWER, VEHICLE IS DEAD. THEN SUDDENLY, VEHICLE IS ABLE TO START AND RUN NORMALLY. I BELIEVE THAT IT MAY HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH REMOTE START SYSTEM. *NM

CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLS ALL THE TIME. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT STATED THE DRIVER'S SIDE SEAT BELT STUCK IN THE RETRACTOR. SHE HAS NOT BEEN USING THE SEAT BELT SINCE THE PROBLEM STARTED. THE CONTACT HAS NOT CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP OR MANUFACTURER. *AK UPDATED 1/23/2006 - THE SEAT BELT ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED ON 12/16/2005. *NM

CONSUMER 2005 PACIFICA TOURING ENGINE POWER FAILED. *TS ***NO ANSWER REQUIRED*** *JB

THERE IS A SIGNIFICANT POPPING AND CLICKING SOUND WHEN ACCELERATING AND STOPPING. ALSO HAPPENS WHEN MOVING THE GEAR SHIFT. CAR SURGES FORWARD WHEN POPPING SOUND HAPPENS. TOOK TO DEALER AND THEY SAID I HAD TO LIVE WITH IT AS IT IS A PROBLEM WITH THE CAR THEY CAN NOT FIX. ALSO LEAK ON FLOOR OF DRIVERS SIDE. DEALER WILL NOT HAVE ANY ONE ABLE TO LOOK AT LEAK UNTIL SOMETIME IN JANUARY 2006. *JB

2005 PACIFICA 3569 MILES HAS STALLED 5 TIMES WHEN TURNING LEFT EVERY TIME WITH THE EXCEPTION OF ONCE IT STALLS TWICE IN THE SAME DAY, CAUSING A LOSS OF POWER STEERING.*JB

DT: THE CONTACT BOUGHT A NEW 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AFTER 20 DAYS OF DRIVING IT WAS ON A RESIDENTIAL STREET WHERE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THERE WAS NO CURRENT TO THE BATTERY. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE MECHANIC, AND THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE IT. THEN THEY CALLED CHRYSLER, AND THEY TOLD HIM THAT THE PROBLEM HAPPENED BECAUSE THE GAS TANK DROPPED BELOW HALF FULL. ALSO, THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD BE WORKING ON THIS PROBLEM IN JANUARY OR FEBRUARY 2006.*AK

DT: THE CONTACT STATED VEHICLE STALL WITH NO WARNING WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP, AND THEY INSTALLED THE AUTOPILOT. WHEN THEY CHECKED THE AUTOPILOT, THEY STATE IT WAS NOT WORKING. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION, THE DEALERSHIP FOUND THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL PUMP. THE PART WAS ORDERED, BUT ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURER, THE PART WAS BEING REDESIGNED ,AND WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL THE END OF THE YEAR. THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE DEALERSHIP SUGGESTED HE IGNORE IT. AFTER FILLING THE GAS TANK THE GAS GAUGE SHOWED EMPTY. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THIS WAS PART OF THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. THE GAS GAUGE STILL IS INOPERABLE ,AND HE HAS TO CONSTANTLY PUT FUEL IN THE VEHICLE. *AK UPDATED 12/7/2005. *NM

CAR STALLED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ALL THREE TIMES OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A SLOW LEFT HAND TURN. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES FAILED. WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL. *NM

DT: THE CONTACT STATED VEHICLE STALLED TWICE. SHE WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. AFTER TWO ATTEMPTS THE DEALER WAS UNSUCCESSFUL IN LOCATING THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED, BUT OFFERED NO FURTHER ASSISTANCE. *AK

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN ACROSS 2 LANES OF TRAFFIC WHEN MY ENGINE STOPPED, POWER STEERING STOPPED, AND THE OIL LIGHT CAME ON. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE DEALER. THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AND TOLD ME TO COME BACK WHEN THE PROBLEM WAS MORE PERSISTENT. I HAVE TWO CHILDREN 2 AND UNDER AND TAKING THE CHANCE THAT WE WILL BE IN A COLLISION WHEN THE ENGINE AND POWER STEERING FAIL IS NOT AN OPTION. *JB

DT CONTACT STATED TWO TIRES BLEW OUT. THE FIRST TIRE WAS THE DRIVERS REAR TIRE, AND THE SECOND TIRE WAS THE PASSENGER'S REAR TIRE. THE TIRES WERE REGULARLY SERVICED. THE CONTACT'SX HUSBAND BURNED HIS ARM GETTING THE SPARE TIRE FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE. SHE CONTACTED THE DEALER, THEY REFERRED HER TO THE TIRE MANUFACTURER. THERE WAS SOME TYPE OF BLACK POWER INSIDE OF THE TIRES. SHE CONTACTED BRIDGESTONE, AND THEY OFFERED HER NO ASSISTANCE.*AK

WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE ENGINE STALLED ON MY VEHICLE, LEAVING ME STUCK WITH ONCOMING TRAFFIC APPROACHING. THIS OCCURRED AT NIGHT AND THE SHUT DOWN CAUSED ALL LIGHTS TO GO OFF, STEERING AND BRAKING WERE REDUCED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART ONLY AFTER PUTTING THE CAR IN PARK AND TURNING THE KEY TO OFF. THIS FAILURE PUT ME IN A SERIOUSLY UNSAFE POSITION. I HAVE READ REPORTS ONLINE FROM OTHER OWNERS OF THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA EXPERIENCING THIS SAME PROBLEM. I HAD A HALF TANK OF GAS, THE ENGINE WAS WARMED UP AND I MADE NO MANEUVER OUT OF THE ORDINARY. *JB

ON THE FIRST DAY OF OWNING OUR PACIFICA THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED DOWN FROM ABOUT A 1/2 TANK TO LESS THAN A 1/4 TANK AND ALMOST STALLED ON US TWICE. FUELING THE CAR BACK UP WITH JUST A FEW DOLLARS PUT THE GAS GAUGE BACK PAST THE 1/2 WAY MARK WHICH THERE'S OBVIOUSLY NO WAY THIS COULD HAPPEN. SINCE THAT NIGHT, THE CAR HAS SUBSEQUENTLY STALLED TWICE WHILE EXHIBITING THE SAME PROBLEM OF THE GAS GAUGE DROPPING DOWN TO ALMOST EMPTY. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN, WHAT IF THIS CAR STALLS IN AN INTERSECTION ETC... THIS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ASAP BEFORE SOMEONE IS HURT. *NM

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. WAS UNABLE TO MAKE LEFT TURN DUE TO POWER STEERING SHUTTING OFF AS WELL AS ENGINE, ENDED UP STALLING IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. *NM

FREQUENT LOW SPEED STALLING OF ENGINE. *NM

ON THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2005 MODEL, WHEN THE GAS IS BELOW HALF A TANK, WHEN STOPPING OR MAKING TURNS THE ENGINE WILL STALL. THIS IS VERY HAZARDOUS AS WHEN THE ENGINE STOPS THERE IS NO POWER STEERING OR POWER BRAKES. I WAS WITHIN INCHES OF HITTING ANOTHER CAR. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM, BUT NO SOLUTION. I BELIEVE THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED AS THE NUMBER OF ACCIDENTS THIS CAN LEAD TO IS LARGE, ESPECIALLY FOR SMALLER PEOPLE THAT MAY NOT BE ABLE TO MUSCLE THE STEERING WHEN THE CAR STALLS. PLEASE GET CHRYSLER TO DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AS IT'S NOT SAFE TO DRIVE MY NEW EXPENSIVE CAR UNTIL THIS IS TAKEN CARE OF. *JB

ON 19 OCTOBER 2005, I HAD JUST COMPLETED A LEFT HAND TURN AND CAME TO A SOMEWHAT ABRUPT STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I HIT THE GAS BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I NOTICED THAT I LOST MY POWER STEERING FOR THE STEERING WHEEL FELT HEAVY. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ON BUT I DID NOT NOTICE ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CD PLAYER WAS STILL PLAYING NOR DID IT PAUSE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. UNCERTAIN AS TO WHETHER THE CAR WAS OFF OR NOT, I TURNED THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE OPERATED PROPERLY AFTER THE INCIDENT. HOWEVER, I BECAME CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS FEARING THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *JB

DT: THE CONSUMER OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE VEHICLE STALLED FOR NO APPARENT REASON. THIS INCIDENT OCCURRED WHILE DECELERATING AND BRAKING. THERE WAS NO PRIOR WARNING BEFORE THIS INCIDENT. THE CONSUMER PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED PROPERLY. THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED. THE VEHICLE HAS AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. THE DEALERSHIP SAID THERE WHERE NO CODES SHOWN. THEREFORE, THE DEALERSHIP WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS SCARED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE BECAUSE SHE HAD THREE CHILDREN. THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 3000 MILES ON IT. SHE WAS TRAVELING 55 MPH BEFORE SLOWING DOWN TO MAKE A TURN. *AK *JB

ENGINE STALL WHILE PERFORMING TURNS. MY WIFE HAS BEEN CLOSE TO BE INVOLVE IN AN ACCIDENT IN THE LAST COUPLE TIMES. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN NOT DO NOTHING UNTIL CHRYSLER INVESTIGATES THE PROBLEM. MAYBE CHRYSLER IS WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS INVOLVE IN AN ACCIDENT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *NM

WHEN TURNING CORNERS MY 2005 PACIFICA WILL OCCASIONALLY STALL CAUSING THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK AND ALL SYSTEMS TO FAIL. I HAVE HAD THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO LOCATE ANY PROBLEM. THE 1ST TIME, THEY DIDN'T FIND A PROBLEM IN THE COMPUTER SYSTEM. THE 2ND TIME, THEY FOUND A PROBLEM IN THE FUEL PUMP. THEY REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP. THE 3RD TIME, THEY TOLD US THEY COULD NOT DETERMINE WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS NOR COULD THEY REPLICATE THE STALL. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS CAR TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY WITH MY 2 KIDS. SHE NARROWLY AVOIDED A SERIOUS ACCIDENT WHEN THE CAR STALLED THIS LAST TIME. I WILL BE FILING FOR THE SC LEMON LAW. *JB

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLS AND ALSO PUTS ITSELF INTO NEUTRAL WHILE DRIVING OR AFTER STOPPING AND STARTING AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHO SAID THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS AFTERNOON ON MY WAY HOME FROM WORK ON THE HIGHWAY IT WENT INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN (NOT THE SHIFT ITSELF BUT THE ENGINE REVVED UP AND THEN JUMPED OR SHOULD I SAY BANGED BACK INTO THE CORRECT GEAR). THEN LATER IN THE EVENING I HAD A PROBLEM STARTING IT ON MY WAY TO MY DAUGHTERS SOCCER GAME. IT ALSO ACTED LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL THE WHOLE WAY THERE AND THE SAME THING HAPPENED WHEN WE WENT TO LEAVE THE GAME 1 HOUR LATER. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS NOT ONLY FOR ME BUT ALSO FOR MY 7 YEAR OLD AND 6 MONTH OLD DRIVING WITH ME 90% OF THE TIME. *JB

DT: THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL SOMETIMES WHEN THE CONSUMER DROVE AROUND A CURVE. THE PROBLEM OCCURRED MORE OFTEN WHEN THE CONSUMER MADE A LEFT TURN. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 12 TIMES. THE PROBLEM FIRST STARTED AROUND 4-1-05. WHEN THE CONSUMER TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THERE HAVE BEEN NO ACCIDENTS. *JB THE VEHICLE CAN BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER IT STALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THEY FOUND NO FAULT CODES STORED IN THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE. *NM

PURCHASED THE CAR SIX WEEKS AGO AND IT HAS 2,500 MILES ON IT. I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN ONTO A BUSY EXIT ENTERING A MAJOR HIGHWAY (ROUTE 1N) AND THE CAR STALLED AND STEERING WHEEL LOCKED. I HAVE A FOUR YEAR OLD AND A TWO YEAR OLD. THANK GOD THEY WERE NOT IN THE CAR WITH ME. NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. THE DEALER APPOINTMENT IS IN FIVE DAYS AT WHICH THEY WILL TEST DRIVE THE VEHICLE WITH ME TO TRY TO RECREATE THE SITUATION. *JB

DT: THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD ON OCTOBER 4, 2005 WENT TO HIT THE BRAKES AND PUSHED THE PEDAL AS FAR AS IT WOULD GO, HAD NO BRAKES. HAD TO SWERVE OUT OF THE WAY TO GET OUT OF THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. HAD TO PUT ON THE EMERGENCY BRAKE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE CAR WAS 6 MONTHS OLD. IT WAS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED. 4 SENSORS ON CAR, 2 OUT OF 4 SENSORS TORE. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THE DEALER DID FIX THE VEHICLE WHICH WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NO POLICE REPORTS. NO CRASHES. *AK

DT: NOTICED ON SEPTEMBER 1, 2005 THAT THE PASSENGER'S SIDE OF VEHICLE WAS HIGHER THAN THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THIS CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO PULL TO DRIVER'S SIDE. THE DEALERSHIP CHECKED THE VEHICLE. THEY MEASURED AND COMPARED IT TO A FLOOR MODEL, AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE SAME SIZE. THEN, HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AT A LOCAL MECHANIC, AND THEY MEASURED IT, AND DETERMINED IT WAS AN INCH HIGHER ON THE PASSENGER'S SIDE. CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER, AND THEY ADVISED THE CONSUMER TO MAKE ARRANGEMENTS WITH THE DEALER . BUT WHEN THE CONSUMER CALLED THE DEALER THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. *AK

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACFICA STALLED IN THE PARKING LOT OF MY FRIENDS HOUSE. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. THE CAR IS BRAND NEW (GOT IT IN MAY) AND THERE IS ONLY ~5000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. BOTH TIMES THE CAR STALLED AT LOW SPEEDS (PARKING LOTS) WHILE TURNING, AND MY FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL. FIRST THING I NOTICED WAS THE POWER STEERING WAS OUT, THEN EVENTUALLY NOTICED THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING (STALLED). SAW A RECALL ON 04 PACIFICAS FOR A SIMILAR PROBLEM, BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT AT AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. BROUGHT IT IN A SECOND TIME AND THEY MADE AN ADJUSTMENT TO THE THROTTLE. *JB

DT: CONTACT STATES HE OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED . THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE SERVICE DEALER, BUT THE PART WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALERSHIP WAS GOING TO HAVE TO REPLACE THE ABS SENSOR. THE DEALERSHIP CONSULTED THE MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF THE PART WAS AVAILABLE, BUT IT WAS NOT. THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THEY DID NOT KNOW WHEN THE PART WILL BE AVAILABLE.*AK
