2006 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

I CALLED CHRYSLER, CONCERNING THE F44 RECALL. WOULD YOU BELIEVE MY CAR MISSED THE RECALL PERIOD BY FOUR DAYS. THE RECALL COVERED AUTOS BUILT UNTIL LATE NOV 2006 MY CAR WAS BUILT DEC 2006. BUT THE NOTICE DID NOT GO OUT UNTIL LATE PART NOV 2006. A DECENT COMPANY WOULD HAVE ENDED THE RECALL AS DEC 2006. I GUARANTEE SOME PART OF THE DEC 2006 AUTO WAS ALREADY IN ASSEMBLY, BEFORE THE NOV 2006 RECALL DATE, THIS IS SO WRONG. ON THAT SAME RECALL BULLETIN MY VIN WAS INCLUDED , BUT AS I CONTINUE TO READ THE RECALL BULLETIN , IT STATED THAT ALL VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED WITHIN THIS VIN SERIES. CHRYSLER CORP IS A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, I AM JUST ONE SMALL CONSUMER, AND I NEED YOUR HELP WITH THIS REPAIR. *JB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR AN OIL CHANGE BUT WAS INFORMED THAT THE SUB FRAME WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,947. UPDATED 10/31/13*CN THE CONSUMER WAS ADVISED THE VEHICLE HAD EXTENSIVE RUST THROUGH AND A CRACKED FRONT SUB FRAME, SEVERE ROCKER PANEL RUST AND BRAKE LINE RUST. A SERVICE MANAGER INFORMED THE CONSUMER THAT IT IS NOT REQUIRED/PERMITTED TO INFORM THE VEHICLE'S OWNER OF NECESSARY REPAIRS. UPDATED 11/1/2013 *JS

WAS DRIVING IN THE RAIN AND MY LOW BEAMS SHUT OFF. THE HIGHBEAMS CONTINUED TO WORK AS WELL AS MY MARKER LIGHTS, AND FLOOD LIGHTS. I REPLACED BOTH BULBS AND STILL HAD NO LOW BEAMS. EVERYTHING ELSE WORKS EXCEPT THEM. DID RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET TO LEARN THE 2005 MODELS HAD A SIMILAR ISSUE AND THERE WAS A RECALL BUT THE 2006 MODELS ARE NOT COVERED EVEN THOUGH IT IS THE SAME ISSUE. *TT

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK ON A THURSDAY AT AND AVERAGE OF AROUND 65 MPH THE VEHICLES RPM'S JUMPED UP TO 4,000 AND IT WAS LIKE IT DOWN SHIFTED. I STOPPED IMMEDIATELY TO CHECK FOR PROBLEMS AND THERE WEREN'T ANY VISIBLE SIGNS. I PROCEEDED HOME WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STUCK IN A GEAR CAUSING ME TO ONLY TRAVEL A MAX OF 45MPH. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHICH SAID THERE WAS A RECALL FOR MY MAKE, MODEL, AND YEAR VEHICLE BUT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. *TR

THROTTLE HAS BEEN STICKING FOR SEVEN YEARS. THE DEALER HAS SPRAYED THE THROTTLE BODY SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER FIX IS ONLY TEMPORARY. *TR

VEHICLE INSPECTED ON 08/22/2013, FOUND ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED THROUGH ALSO UNITIZED BODY SUPPORT STRUCTURE UNDER OUTER ROCKER COVER IS CRUMBLING IN LARGE FLAKES. VEHICLE OWNED SINCE NEW, HAD REAR TAILGATE RUST REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY A FEW YEARS BACK. VEHICLE MAJOR COMPONENT UNITIZED BODY STRUCTURALLY UNSOUND. VEHICLE CANNOT BE SOLD TO GENERAL PUBLIC WITHOUT DISCLOSURE, BODY STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY IS COMPROMISED. *TR

THE SUBFRAME OF MY 06 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IS RUSTING AND MY MECHANIC AND CHRYSLER DEALER BOTH EXPLAINED THAT THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL FOR A CAR THAT IS ONLY SEVEN YEARS OLD. THE ESTIMATED COST TO FIX THIS IS $1051.70. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT 40MPH I NOTICED THAT MY CAR FELT AS IF IT HAD A FLAT TIRE. PULLED OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND NOTHING SEEMED AMISS. GET HOME AND LOOK UNDER THE VEHICLE AND NOTICE THAT ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE REAR THE LOWER CONTROL ARM IS SPLIT IN HALF. THERE DOESN'T SEEM TO BE ANY OTHER DAMAGE. *TR

I WAS IN THE BANK DRIVE THRU WITH MY CAR IN PARK. I WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I CALLED AAA AND WHEN THE TOW TRUCK MAN ARRIVED AND I TOLD HIM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, HE TOLD ME HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED...THE RED CLIP INSIDE THE GEARSHIFT BOX HAD BROKEN. HE SAID IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO PACIFICAS AND 3000S AND IT'S A FACTORY RECALL ISSUE. HE WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO GEAR FOR ME SO I COULD DRIVE HOME, BUT IT IS BROKEN AND WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK (WITHOUT TRYING HIS TEMPORARY "FIX"). I CAME HOME AND WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH THE RECALL (BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER EVER GETTING A RECALL LETTER) AND I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. BASED ON WHAT THIS DRIVER TOLD ME, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CERTAIN CHRYSLER CARS (INCLUDING MINE) AND SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. *TR

I HAD MY CAR IN PARK, WAITING IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU. WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I CALLED AAA AND THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR CAME. UPON HEARING THE ISSUE, HE IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS BECAUSE "HE DEALS WITH THIS ALL THE TIME WITH 3000'S AND PACIFICAS...AND IT'S A RECALL ISSUE). HE LIFTED THE TRIM AROUND THE GEAR BOX AND SHOWED ME THAT THE "RED CLIP" HAD BROKEN. I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT I NEED TO KNOW IF CHRYSLER IS HONORING THIS DEFECT, WHICH I'VE BEEN TOLD IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT CHRYSLER VEHICLES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE FUEL INDICATOR WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE REFUELING, THE FUEL FILLER NECK WOULD REFUSE THE FUEL EVEN BEFORE THE TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 122,000.

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. FIRST ISSUE WAS THE CV BOOTS THAT HAD COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED. THIS OCCURRED 62,123 MILES. NEXT ISSUE THAT IS STILL OCCURRING TODAY AND DEEPLY CONCERNS ME IS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS FROM TIME TO TIME. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSES THAT TO HAPPEN BUT IT SCARES THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUT OF ME ON A WEEKLY BASIS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PANEL READ GASCAP. WELL WE BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. SINCE THEN WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN, MORE MONEY OUT OF OUR POCKET SO UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT HAD THE REPAIR DONE SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT. NEXT AND BIGGEST ISSUE OFF ALL IS THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN OUR STREET I HEARD A NOISE THAT CONCERNED ME. WHEN I GOT HOME THERE WAS A TAPPING UNDER THE HOOD, THE TAPPING HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS SINCE THEN. THE ORIGINAL MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 85,625 MILES. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A TAPPING LIFTER. WELL THIS IS A VERY VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. SO EASIEST THING FOR US TO DO IS TO TRADE IN OUR CAR....NOT THE CASE. OUR CAR NOW HAS NO TRADE-IN VALUE BECAUSE OF THE LIFTER ISSUE. I AM BESIDE MYSELF AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE ALL ISSUES THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ADDRESS UNDER WARRANTY. THE MAINTENANCE ON OUR VEHICLE IS DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS TO AVOID ISSUES LIKE THIS. I FEEL QUITE CHEATED BY CHRYSLER AND WISH I COULD REQUEST

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE ACCELERATION POWER SPORADICALLY AND WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TEST DRIVEN BY THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE DID NOT DUPLICATE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE COMPUTER MEMORY WAS DELAYING AND CAUSED THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT FROM PARK.THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 84,650 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 104,000.

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE ENGINE FAILED. I THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE PARK POSITION. AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME WITHOUT THE AC AND STEREO ON. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP JUST FINE AND I LET IT IDLE FOR ABOUT 1-1.5 MINUTES TO LET THE IDLE STABILIZE. (IT WAS NOT REAL STABLE). I THEN PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO REVERSE AND BACKED UP MAYBE 2 FT AND THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN.(NOW I AM IN THE ROAD) I REPEATED MY SECOND ATTEMPT AND LET IT IDLE 2-3 MINUTES, PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND IT WAS SHAKY BUT STAYED RUNNING AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ABOUT A WEEK LATER MY WIFE TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAD HAPPEN TO HER 2-3 TIMES OVER A COUPLE DAYS TIME. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES AND TODAY I WAS HAVING TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL WHEN STOPPED OR IDLING TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING FOR A SHORT 20 MILE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AS WE CONSUMERS SEEM TO BE DOING MUCH MORE OF, AND THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. BUDGET CUTS,SEQUESTRATION AND FURLOUGHS ARE MAKING THINGS VERY TIGHT FOR A LOT OF US OUT HERE AND WE DEPEND ON GOOD QUALITY TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO THE JOBS WE THANKFULLY STILL HAVE SO THAT WE CAN DO OUR PART TO CONTRIBUTE THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY OF THIS GREAT NATION. DO THE RIGHT THING CHRYSLER! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT CHECK ENGINE AND GAS CAP WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS DETERMINED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT SPOKE TO THE MANUFACTURER REGARDING NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER:06V432000(POWER TRAIN), BUT WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 100,000.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED JUNE 11, 2013 AND HAD THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE REPLACED DUE TO UNFIX-ABLE FLAT TIRE. THE DEALER HAD ME TAKE VEHICLE TO PEERLESS TIRES CO. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH WRONG SIZE AND DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRE. TRAVELING DURING THUNDERSTORM APPROXIMATELY 3,5 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE; THE COMPUTER APPEARED TO LOCK WHEN VEHICLE SLIPPED ON PAVEMENT AS AWD ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND POWER THEN SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD. I MADE CLAIM THROUGH MY INSURANCE AND HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED BY LOCAL SHOP, AND I HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK TO SEE IF DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WAS NOTICEABLE WAS NOT HANDLING CORRECTLY AFTER ACCIDENT. WHEN ACCELERATES OR DECELERATES THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO PEERLESS TIRE CO. AFTER MECHANIC POINTED OUT THE WRONG SIZE AND MODEL OF TIRE ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. AFTER ACCEPTING FAULT WANTED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO [XXX] PAINT AND BODY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. WHEN THE ESTIMATE WAS BEING DONE AND VEHICLE WAS ON LIFT...[XXX] AND MECHANIC POINTED OUT THE WHOLE MOTOR CARRIAGE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND CORRODED. THEY HAD NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AND EXPLAINED THIS ISSUE. HAD TO GO AHEAD WITH INSURANCE CLAIM AND WAIT FOR ADJUSTORS TO DETERMINE FAULT OF ACCIDENT.THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS TIPPING FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IM SHOCKED AND APPALLED THAT 2 PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS HAVE SAME ISSUES WHICH ARE NOT

DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION OF OUR VEHICLE THE MECHANIC STATED VEHICLE WAS IN PERFECT CONDITION EXCEPT THAT THE SUBFRAME (ENGINE CRADLE) HAD A ONE FOOT SECTION THAT WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. HE ALSO STATED THAT SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY 76000 MILES ON IT THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING. OTHER MECHANICS IN THAT SHOP CONCURRED. CHRYSLER HAD, IN THE PREVIOUS TWO MODEL YEARS (04 & 05), EXTENDED THE WARRANTIES TO 10 YEARS/150,000 MILES (CHRYSLER DOCUMENT 0004817/#45543/X26) ACCEPTING RESPONSIBILITY FOR A FAULTY PRODUCT AND COVERING THE EXPENSES INCURRED BY CONSUMER MAKING THEIR VEHICLES ROADWORTHY AND SAFE. THIS IS TRULY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED BY THE MANUFACTURER AS THIS COMPONENT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE AND FRONT SUSPENSION/STEERING ASSEMBLIES. CALLS TO CHRYSLER HAVE NOT BEEN PRODUCTIVE. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THEIR RELUCTANCE TO ADDRESS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THEY HAVE ADDRESSED IN THE PAST. PROBLEM HAS NOT CHANGED JUST THE MODEL YEAR. HOPEFULLY THE NHTSA CAN INITIATE A SAFETY RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS. THERE ARE SIMILAR COMPLAINTS CONCERNING THIS ON THIS SITE. DOES THERE HAVE TO BE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE? *TR

AFTER READING SEVERAL RECALL ON THIS ISSUE. THAT YOU CAN FIND ON THIS WEB SITE AND AUTOMOBILEMAG.COM I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION WITH EVEN A RECALL ID#38454 AND RECALL # 06V43200 THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO HELP ME WITH THE ISSUE. THEY STATED THAT THERE ISN'T A SUCH RECALL. WHO CAN I CONTACT. *TR

DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE (AKA SUB-FRAME) WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY TWO OTHER AUTO TECHNICIANS AND BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS CORRODED AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD TO BOTH ITS PASSENGERS AND OTHER VEHICLES OPERATING IN THE VICINITY. THE VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE ZERO RESALE VALUE UNLESS THIS IS REPAIRED. PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN ORDERED AND REPAIR IS SCHEDULE TO OCCUR WITHIN 10 DAYS. ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIR IS $4,000. A REVIEW OF THE NHTSA DATABASE FOR THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE INDICATES 6 COMPLAINTS OF AN IDENTICAL NATURE FILED WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. SIMILAR SEARCHES OF OTHER WEBSITES CONFIRM THAT THIS IS AN EVOLVING PROBLEM. PACIFICA MODELS YEARS 2004 AND 2005 HAVE WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUES RELATIVE TO CORRODED ENGINE CRADLES AND BOTH MODEL YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AS A RESULT. IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THE FREQUENCY OF REPORTED CORRODED ENGINE CRADLES WILL INCREASE AS THESE VEHICLES AGE. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR INJURY MAY BE THE OUTCOME IN SITUATIONS WHERE THIS PROBLEM REMAINS UNCHECKED. THIS ISSUE WARRANTS ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION AS IT IS BECOMING APPARENT THAT THE PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED IN THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS YEARS IS ALSO SURFACING IN THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. *TR

MY CAR STARTED TO JERK FORWARD WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I ALSO HAD TO PRESS HARD ON GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT WOULD STICK A LITTLE. FINALLY TOOK CAR IN AND IT WAS A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT. NOT EVEN 6 MONTHS LATER MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND SEEMED TO STICK A LITTLE WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. I TOOK CAR BACK TO SHOP AND IT IS ANOTHER BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANIC I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE PACIFICA, SO MUCH SO THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT I NEEDED WAS ON BACKORDER FOR 3 WEEKS. *TR

WHEN ACCELARATING THE VEH STALLS OUT BUT STARTS RIGHT BACK UP. I CONTINUES TO STUTTER ALONG AND STALLS. *TR

MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTING THROUGH AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT SINCE IT COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF IT FAILED. EVEN THOUGH THIS KNOWN DEFECT HAS RESULTED IN CHRYSLER EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON 2004 AND 2005 MODELS, THEY WILL NOT COVER THE DEFECT ON 2006. *TR

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND PLACING INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLS. STALLING HAS ALSO OCCURED WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS 3 TIMES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HEARD A BANGING NOISE WHILE THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE TRANSMISSION MOUNTS HAD FAILED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED ABOUT THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,984.

ABS WARNING LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR OVER A YEAR. IT COMES ON WITHIN 3 MINUTES OF DRIVING, WHICH DISENGAGES MY ANTI-LOCK BRAKES. MECHANIC ADVISED I GET MY ABS SENSORS REPLACED, BUT IT'S BOTH VERY EXPENSIVE AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WILL PROBABLY HAPPEN AGAIN IN NO TIME SINCE THIS IS A RECURRING ISSUE WITH PACIFICAS. THIS MODEL MUST BE RECALLED SINCE THE INTEGRITY OF MY BRAKING SYSTEM IS COMPROMISED AND PUTS MYSELF AND THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY AT RISK. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS BEING INSPECTED, THE FRONT SUB FRAME WAS FOUND TO BE SEVERELY CORRODED IN THE ENGINE CARRIAGE AREA.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 58,000.

CAR WAS PARKED/ SPONTANIOUS FIRE/ INSIDE TOTALLED. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE HWY DOING 55 WHEN MY CAR JUST WENT WHEW AND LOST ALL POWER, WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE WHERE THEY TOLD US THE MOTOR HAD A CRACK ON BOTH SIDES OF IT. THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT. THE CAR HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE THE WEEK BEFORE AND HAD THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF OIL, ANTIFREEZE IN IT. DID THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING MAINTENANCE DONE ON THE VEHICLE, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THAT THE FRONT PASSENGER AND DRIVER SIDE TIE ROD DID NOT HAVE ANY GREASE FITTINGS. AS A RESULT, BOTH TIE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT ALL FOUR WHEELS WERE CORRODED CAUSING AIR TO ESCAPE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DECIDED TO USE A POWER BRUSH TO CLEAN THE WHEEL AND APPLIED A RUBBER SEALANT. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,000. *TR UPDATED 5/9/13 *CN THE RIGHT AND LEFT OUTER TIE RODS WERE REPLACED.

I WILL HEAR A CHIME AND LOOK TO SEE WHY AND THE ABS LIGHT WILL BE ON. THEN WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES SOMETIMES THEY FEEL FINE OTHER TIMES THEY FEEL SPONGY. I HAVE READ WHERE THIS IS A ONGOING PROBLEM WITH PACIFICAS. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. *TR

SPORADICALLY THE ABS & BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND THE RADIO CUTS OUT. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENS THE HEADLIGHTS ALSO FLICKER AND GO OUT. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DISTRACTING TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. ONCE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE DEALER CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND THERE IS NO SPECIFIC REASON THAT CAUSES IT TO HAPPEN. *TR

NOTICED A COUPLE OF TIMES THAT THE CAR HESITATED WHEN MERGING ON TO HIGHWAY OR ACCELERATING ON THE HIGHWAY. TODAY HOWEVER, IT DID THAT IN TOWN, GOING ABOUT 35 MPH AND THEN STALLED, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND SMOKE CAME OUT FROM UNDER THE HOOD. NOW IT WON'T EVEN START. *TR

I HAVE VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH ENGINE CRADLE RUST ON MY 2006 AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY WARRANTY HELP. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES. CHRYSLER HAS A 10 YEAR 150K MILE WARRANTY ON 2004 AND 2005 FOR ENGINE CRADLE RUSTING OUT. THEY REFUSE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE '04 AND '05 HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE 06 IS NOT, OTHER THAN IT IS PAST 3 YEAR MILEAGE WARRANTY. *TR

ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED OUT,HOLE IN IT. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE GASCAP LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TIME FOR INSPECTION AND NATURALLY IT FAILED. IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP, THEY CHECKED IT OVER AND JUST REPLACED THE GASCAP. ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF SO TOOK IT BACK FOR INSPECTION. IT PASSED AMAZINGLY. LATER THAT DAY, THE GASCAP LIGHT CAME BACK ON. DROVE A NUMBER OF MONTHS WITH LIGHT ON KNOWING IT WAS A NEW GASCAP AND IT NEEDED A SMOKE TEST TO FIND THE LEAK. HAD ALTERNATOR REPLACED AND ALSO A NEW RIGHT SIDE FUEL PUMP WITH THE FUEL HOSE FROM VENT ON PRIMARY TO FUEL PUMP VENT NIPPLE ON OTHER SIDE. THEY WERE AMAZED THAT I HADN'T SMELLED FUEL LEAKING. ALSO AMAZED THERE WAS NO FIRE. THIS IS A SERIOUS FAULT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE CHRYSLER, DO THE RIGHT THING!! *TR

I CANT KEEP REPLACING THESE. CARBONE AUTO KNOWS THE KIND OF VEHICLE THEY SOLD ME AND I TRUSTED THEM. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY DON'T CARE WHEN I GO THERE AND THEY JUST SAY MAKE AN APPOINTMENT.

I AM SOOOO SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2006 PACIFICA USED IN THE SUMMER OF 2009.I HAD AN INSTANCE WHERE MY ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON RANDOMLY AND WHEN I WOULD BRAKE IT WOULD SKID. CHRYSLER DID FIX THAT PROBLEM. I HAVE HAD AT LEAST 6 SITUATIONS SINCE 2010 WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEED 25 MPH OR LESS WHILE TURNING LEFT, MY CAR STALLS AND I LOSE POWER AND STEERING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. MAKING IT FEEL LIKE MY STEERING IS LOCKED, WHILE STUCK IN THE ROAD MOMENTARILY. AFTER EACH INCIDENT I AM ABLE TO TURN IGNITION OFF AND RESTART WITH NO PROBLEM. TWO OF THESE INCIDENTS I HAVE BEEN TURNING LEFT INTO A BUSY INTERSECTION JUST MISSED BEING HIT. THIS PROBLEM IS COMPLETELY RANDOM. IT HAPPENS IN ALL WEATHER. I AM TERRIFIED OF BEING INVOLVED IN A TERRIBLE ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS OUR FAMILY VEHICLE. WE HAVE ROUGHLY 60,000 MILES ON IT CURRENTLY. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE TWO CHILDREN AGE 7 1/2 AND 17 MONTHS OLD. THE LAST TIME THIS HAPPENED I REALIZED THIS WAS NOT A FLUKE, IT IS BECOMING MORE FREQUENT. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ON JULY 24, 2012. I GET A CALL ON JULY 25TH AROUND 2PM, FROM THE SERVICE MANAGER STATING TO ME THEY FIND NOTHING WRONG WITH MY PACIFICA!ON THE EVENING OF JULY 24TH, 2012 I GOOGLE "MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STEERING LOCKS WHILE TURNING LEFT". I WAS HORRIFIED AT THE MANY COMPLAINTS ABOUT MY SAME SITUATION. I CALLED THE SERVICE MANAGER AT KAHLO IMMEDIATELY. THE SERVICE MANAGER TOLD ME ON JULY 27TH, 2012 THAT CHRYSLER SAYS THAT UNLESS THEY
