2006 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

THE GEAR SHIFT ON THE CENTER CONSOLE WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. I WENT OUT TO START THE CAR TO GO TO WORK AND THE CAR WOULD START UP, BUT I COULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I REMOVED THE TRIM TO EXPOSE THE QUICK RELEASE BUTTON AND THAT DIDN'T WORK EITHER. AFTER RESEARCHING THE ISSUE, I'VE FOUND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S HAVE EXPERIENCED THIS ISSUE. I CALLED A COUPLE OF DEALERSHIPS AND THEY HAD JUST RECEIVED CARS THAT VERY DAY WITH THE SAME ISSUE. I ALSO LEARNED THAT DODGE'S HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THIS SAME ISSUE AND A RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED ON THEM. I AM WRITING SO THAT THIS ISSUE CAN BE INVESTIGATED FURTHER AND A RECALL ISSUED. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE BRAKE PEDAL PULSATED WHENEVER THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. A BRAKE LIGHT ALSO ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AFTER THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE RECURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO HAVE THE FAILURE DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHERE THE FAULTY MOTOR MOUNT WAS REPLACED. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWO YEARS AFTER THE REPAIR. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIR FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.

PARKING BRAKE LINING BECAME COMPLETELY UNBONDED FROM PARKING BRAKE SHOE. WE STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE UNTIL IT COULD BE DIAGNOSED AND REPAIRED. SAFETY IMPLICATIONS UNKNOWN. THE MECHANIC WHO REPAIRED THE PROBLEM SAID HE HAD SEEN A SIMILAR CASE WHERE THE ABS SENSOR WAS DAMAGED/DISABLED. *TR

WHILE IN REVERSE IN PARKING LOT, CAR STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AND VEHICLE ROLLED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. SINCE INCIDENT, WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED INTO REVERSE, VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLS. ALSO, MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE BROKEN AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A BIG ISSUE WITH THE PACIFICAS. *TR

THE ABS LIGHT ON MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO COME ON. I'VE SPOKEN WITH OTHER PEOPLE WHO OWN THE SAME VEHICLE WHO HAS THE SAME ISSUES. THE BRAKES ON THE VEHICLE WERE FIXED LESS THAN TWO MONTHS AGO AND THERE SHOULD NOT BE A REASON FOR THIS TO COME ONE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 43 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE -TCM, PCM). THE CONTACT STATED THE DEALER WAS GOING TO REPLACE ONE PART OF THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND REQUESTED THAT THE CONTACT COVER THE REST OF PARTS OF THE MODULE AND LABOR COSTS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE HOWEVER PROVIDED NO ADDITIONAL ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 73,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NOT START. A MECHANIC WAS CALLED AND CAME TO RUN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST ON THE VEHICLE. THE DIAGNOSTIC DISPLAYED THAT THE POWER TRAIN AUTOMATIC CONTROL MODULE FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE WHO ADVISED THE CONTACT OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V432000(POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE : TCM, PCM) BUT STATED THAT THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

MY 2006 PACIFICA WILL GO FROM A HALF A TANK OF FUEL TO NO FUEL IN A MATTER OF MINUTES. THIS HAS LEFT US STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD A NUMBER OF TIMES, SOMETIMES IN VERY DANGEROUS PLACES WITH MY TWO CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THE SADDLE TANK IS A VERY BAD DESIGN, WITH THE TRANSFER PUMP. WHEN WE ARE STRANDED ON THE ROAD SIDE, IF YOU CRAWL UNDER THE CAR ONE SIDE OF THE TANK IS HOLLOW EMPTY AND THE OTHER SIDE IS COMPLETELY FULL, YET WE ARE WAITING ON SOMEONE TO BRING US GAS. WHEN YOU TRY TO REFUEL THE CAR IT WILL ONLY TAKE 3 OR 4 GALLONS BEFORE THE PUMP SHUTS OFF. TO FINISH YOU HAVE TO ALMOST TRICKLY THE GAS IN THE VERY TOP OF THE FILLER TUBE. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THEY TOLD ME THAT MINE WAS THE FIRST COMPLAINT THEY HAD HEARD ABOUT THIS, I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT, AFTER READING ALL THE ONLINE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE 06 PACIFICAS. MY DEALERSHIP CAN TELL ME ANYTHING THAT WILL FOR SURE FIX ALL THE PROBLEMS. I DONT WANT TO PAY FOR ALL THE GUESSING WORK, WHEN SO MANY OTHER PACIFICA OWNER ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. 8TT

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL AND THE BRAKES BEGAN TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE. THE BRAKE FAILURE ALMOST CAUSED A CRASH TO OCCUR. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DIDN'T ILLUMINATE UNTIL AFTER IT WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER A SECOND TIME BECAUSE THE BRAKES WERE GRINDING AND WAS TOLD THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS FAILING AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE ABS LIGHT CONTINUED TO REMAIN ILLUMINATED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL; HOWEVER, THE DEALER DID NOT DUPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURES. UPDATED 08/03/12*LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON AND GO OFF ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES, IT STAYED ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME. THE CONSUMER STATED SHE WOULD LOSE BRAKING ABILITY AND IT FELT AS THOUGHT HE BRAKES WERE SHAKING, SLIPPING AND GRINDING. SHE ALSO STATED SHE EXPERIENCED EXTENDED STOPPING DISTANCE, IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. UPDATED 08/06/12

THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS MATTER THAT THEY NEED TO ADDRESS BY CHRYSLER AND THE NHTSA IMMEDIATELY. THEY NEED RECALL ALL OF THESE VEHICLES BEFORE ME OR MY FAMILY MEMBERS OR SOME INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE KILLED DUE TO THIS DEFECTIVE BRAKING ISSUE. MY INITIAL DATE THAT THIS STARTED HAPPENING WAS ABOUT A YEAR AGO. ALTHOUGH AS OF THE END OF 2011 THE BRAKE FAILURE BEGAN TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY. I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WHICH HAS ABOUT 100,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND GOES OFF ALL THE TIME. SOMETIMES IT STAYS ON FOR LONG PERIODS OF TIME AS WELL AND DOES NOT RESET EVEN AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF. I LOOSE BREAKING POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS IT FEELS LIKE THE BRAKES ARE SHAKING, GRABBING, SLIPPING AND GRINDING. IT NOW TAKES GREATER DISTANCE TO STOP MY VEHICLE. THE FEELING IS VERY MUCH LIFE THREATENING TO ME AND MY FAMILY AS IF WE ARE BEING DRAGGED TO OUR DEATH. IT IS NOT A SAFE FEELING, I HAVE TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN TO AND FROM THEIR ACTIVITIES AND SCHOOL. A COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE HAPPENED TODAY 5/20/12 WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY KIDS AND I ALMOST HAD A HEAD ON COLLISION. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL ACTUALLY STOP WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND DOZENS OF OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR ABS LIGHT. MANY ARE HAVING SPEED SENSORS REPLACED WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM OTHERS ARE BEING TOLD THAT THEY NEED BRAKES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. CHRYSLER IS IGNORING THE PROB

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD INTERMITTENTLY BECOME STUCK IN A PARTIALLY DEPRESSED POSITION. IN ORDER TO RELEASE THE PEDAL FORM THAT POSITION, THE CONTACT HAD TO APPLY MORE PRESSURE TO THE PEDAL. THE VEHICLE WOULD SURGE FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHEN THIS OCCURRED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THE INSIDE PORTION OF THE THROTTLE WAS SCRAPED OUT IN ORDER TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE METAL PLATE ON THE THROTTLE GOT STUCK AND THE REMEDY WAS A TEMPORARY FIX. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 63,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 74,000.

DRIVING DOWN MY RESIDENTIAL STREET, SLOWED DOWN SLIGHTLY TO TURN INTO DRIVE THEN SLOWLY ACCELERATED INTO AND GAS PEDAL STICKS---HAD TO SLAM ON BRAKES TO STOP FROM HITTING SIDE OF GARAGE. THIS IS THE THIRD INCIDENT I HAVE HAD IN WHICH I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND THE GAS PEDAL HAS STUCK! *JS

WE BOUGHT A CHRY PACIFICA FROM COUNTRY CLUB JUNE 25,2011 WITH 89,000 MILES ON IT. DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE ON APRIL 30,2012, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE SUBFRAME CROSS MEMBER WAS ROTTED OUT AND IT WAS UNFIXABLE IMMEDIATELY CALLED DEALER TOOK IT THAT SAME DAY. THEY AGREED THAT THE FRAME WAS ROTTED AND WE REQUESTED A RENTAL WHILE REPAIRS COULD BE MADE INSTEAD THEY TRIED SELLING US A CAR. SPENT HALF A DAY AT THE DEALERS AND HAD TO DRIVE THE UNSAFE CAR HOME AND STILL NO PREVAIL ON GETTING US A RENTAL CAR OR TOLD US WHEN THE REPAIRS COULD BE MADE OR IF THEY COULD FIND PARTS. STILL WAITING WILL SEND ANOTHER REPORT WHEN PROBLEM IS RESOLVED. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EQUIPPED TO HOLD TWENTY GALLONS, BUT WOULD ONLY ACCEPT TEN GALLONS. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY THE FAILURE WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER ALSO ADMITTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE PROPER FUEL TANK. THE VIN WAS NOT UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

IVE HAD THIS CAR FOR JUST OVER ONE YEAR. I HAVE REPLACED 2 MOTOR MOUNTS, 6 MONTHS APART. THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN MOTOR BEARING WENT BAD AND YOU CANT REPLACE JUST THE MOTOR, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH MOTORS, BOTH FANS AND THE SHROUD ( RIDICULOUS ). MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SAYS FUEL CAP ON DASH BUT I REPLACED THE CAP AND NOW AS I'M LOOKING ON THIS SITE I KNOW ITS PROBABLY THE GAS TANK LINES CRACKED. IVE ALSO GOT THE STICKY GAS PEDAL, TRANSMISSION BANGS INTO 2ND RANDOMLY. MY CONCLUSION AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE RECALLS. I MEAN JESUS WERE TALKING ABOUT FIRE HAZARDS AND A STICKING ACCELERATOR POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AT SUCH LOW MILES. NEVER AGAIN CHRYSLER. *TR

THE AIRBAGS (DRIVER OR PASSENGER) DID NOT DEPLOY IN THE AUTOMOBILE ACCIDENT. *JS

THE HEADLIGHTS (LOW BEAM ONLY) JUST STOPPED WORKING. NO WARNING AT ALL. CHECKED BULBS AND THEY ARE FINE. I AM NOT GETTING POWER TO THE LOW BEAM LIGHTS. THE HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE ALONG WITH THE SIGNALS, HORN, FLASHERS, ETC.. I KNOW CHRYSLER HAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 MODELS, AND CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHY THE 2006 ARE NOT INCLUDED!! IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

OBTAINED CAR BRAND NEW IN 2006, YR LATER HAD TO REPLACE ENGINE, WAS SAID THEY GAVE US A NEW ONE, PRIOR TO THAT WE HAD SUNROOF ISSUE THAT STILL PERSIST TO THIS DAY 6YEARS LATER... ELECTRICAL OFF. ONE MINUTE YOU HAVE GAS AND NEXT MINUTE LITERALLY FUEL LIGHT IS ON..FAST FORWARD A TAD 2007 STALLING PROBLEMS,...FAST FORWARD EVEN MORE 30,000MILES LATER.... STALLING ALLLLLLLLOT,ESPECIALLY WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY KIDS. MAKING A U-TURN AND JUST SIMPLY PARKING INTO A SPACE NO GO.. GAS CAP LIGHT IS ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.... CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS AT DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS CHARGING US $2,632.00 TO FIX PROBLEMS, BESIDES OVERCHARGING RIDICULOUSLY, CHRYSLER OFFERED TO PAY MOST OF BILL AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND REALIZING WE WERE GETTING RIPPED OFF, A TWO DAY JOB IS NOW TURNED INTO 1WEEK, NO VEHICLE, NO LOANER.. 6YRS. LATER FAILED EMISSIONS TEST IS WHAT PROMPTED ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALERSHIP...NOW I CANNOT PASS AN EMISSIONS TEST NOR REGISTER MY VEHICLE @ END MONTH>( TODAY). WOULD LIKE TO TRADE, HOWEVER THEY LOW BALLED ME & SAID $4,000.THEY CANNOT GET CAR TO RESET, AND STILL COULD NOT FIND OUT WHY IT IS STALLING. AFTER LETTING DEALERSHIP KNOW I HAVE AN OPEN CASE SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE SINGING A DIFFERENT TUNE...STILL NO CAR/ NO FIX... *JS

ON MARCH 5, 2012 I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY $95.00 FOR A FULL DIAGNOSTIC TO SATISFY [XXX] ([XXX] CORPORATE OFFICE). THE SERVICE WAS RENDERED BY CAPITAL CHRYSLER 200 WATERFIELD RIDGE PLACE, GARNER NC 27529. THE SERVICE REP [XXX] AND SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] INFORMED ME THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACEMENT LOOKED USED DUE TO THE RUST ON IT AND WAS CAUSING OTHER MECHANICAL FAILURES IN MY VEHICLE BUT WOULD NOT CONFIRM THIS IN WRITING. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA $1000.25 SITTING AROUND TO PAY FOR A PART THAT CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF IT BEING DEFECTIVE OR USED. CHRYSLER SETTLED A LAWSUIT IN 2005-6 WITH THE U. S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY FOR THE DEFECTIVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. IN CLOSING, AS A RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER I WOULD LIKE ALL REPAIRS RELATED TO THIS MATTER REPLACED AT NO EXPENSE TO ME BY A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP OF MY CHOOSING. AFTER VIEWING THE INFORMATION ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITES; HTTP://WWW.DAIMLERCHRYSLERVEHICLEPROBLEMS.COM, HTTP://WWW.EPA.GOV/COMPLIANCE/RESOURCES/CASES/CIVIL/CAA/DAIMLERCHRYSLER-FCSHT.HTML, AND HTTP://WWW.LEMONAIDCARS.COM/SECRETWARRANTIES.HTML I AM EVEN MORE EDUCATED AND CONVINCED THAT MY 02 OXYGEN SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER WERE DEFECTIVE INITIALLY WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND THAT IT WAS REPLACED WITH A USED AND/OR DEFECTIVE BY [XXX] CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. LISTED BELOW ARE ADDITIONAL ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY CAR SINCE OWNING IT: 1.SECOND REPLACEMENT OF CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND 02 OXYGEN SENSORS 2.HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHT GOING

DRIVING 65MPH, WAS ON A BRIDGE. INSIDE OF CAR WENT TOTALLY BLACK. HAD TO COAST IT TO RAILING OF BRIDGE AS THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ITS OWN.

FIRED MELTED HOOD TO GRILL AND HAD TO AXED OPEN TO COMPLETELY EXTINGUISH FIRE. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS INDICATION OF ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE. *TR

I HAD A FLAT TIRE ON THE FRONT DRIVER WHEEL, ME AND MY FRIENDS STARTED CHANGING THE TIRE AND THE JACK COULD NOT TAKE THE WEIGHT OF THE CAR, AND THE CARD FELL DOWN EVEN THOUGH THE JACK WAS UNDER IT. I WAS ALMOST INJURED. THE JACK IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE CAR, IT IS VERY CHEAP. I HAVE SOME PICTURES OF IT. THE JACK COULD NOT HOLD THE CAR. UPDATED 03/12/12 *BF *TR

I FIRST NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING AND MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE DONE MANY TESTS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG, I THEN CONTINUED USING MY PACIFICA BUT ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM NOT ONLY CONTINUE BUT ALSO TO GET WORSE MY BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHTS ON MY DASH STARTED TO FLICKER ON AND OFF AND THEN THERE WAS CHIME INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND I ALSO HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE COMING THROUGH MY STEREO BUT THE WEIRD THING IS MY STEREO WAS OFF. I SINCE TOOK MY PACIFICA TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT WITH THEM AND AGAIN THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WHICH AGAIN COSTED ME MORE MONEY FOR NOTHING. I AGAIN TOOK MY PACIFICA AND USED IT WHEN THE PROBLEM CONTINUED WITHALL THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT THIS TIME MY FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND MY DTE DISTANCE UNTIL EMPTY DROPPED TO ZERO AND MY TRUCK SHUT OFF AS I WAS MERGING ONTO THE HIGHWAY AND I NEARLY GOT INVOLVED INTO AN ACCIDENT WITH SEVERAL VEHICLES. I AM NOT ONLY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE BUT ALSO FOR MY SAFETY AND OTHERS ON THE ROAD. I HAVE AGIN CONTACTED THE DEALER AND THIS TIME I PROVIDED A VIDEO OF THE LIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS WHICH INCLUDED THE NOISE COMING THROUGH MY STEREO THAT I RECORDER WITH MY IPHONE THEY AGAIN MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME TO BRING MY PACIFICA BACK IN AND THEY MADE IT CLEAR THAT I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THEIR TIME ONCE AGIAN UNTIL THEY CAN FIND THE PROBLEM AND AT WHICH TIME THEY SAID THE WARRANTY COMPANY WOULD COVER THE C

ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP COMPLETELY WHEN BRAKING. I WOULD LET OFF BRAKES AND REAPPLY & IT STILL DID NOT STOP PROMPTLY. ABS LIGHT CAME ON & ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER REPAIR CENTER IN DELRAY BEACH FLORIDA. THEY SAID MY NVL PUMP & ABS SENSOR NEEDED REPLACED. THEY ALSO SAID IF I DO NOT REPLACE THE NVL PUMP MY CAR WILL BEGIN TO STALL. THE CAR BEGAN STALLING ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS LATER. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 4-6 TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN THE CAR WAS AT IDOL. I HAD THE PUMP REPLACED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC A FEW WEEKS LATER. THE CAR KEPT STALLING AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED. THEN THE CAR STARTED COMPLETELY LOCK UP & TURN OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I HAVE NO POWER, NO STEERING...NOTHING. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET! I TOOK IT BACK IN TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR AN INSPECTION & DIAGNOSTIC. ALL THREE MECHANICS SAY NOW I HAVE O2 SENSORS & MOUNTS THAT ARE BAD. THEY ALL SAY THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE.THEY ALL 3 SAY THE MOUNTS & O2 SENSORS DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR STALLS & LOCKS UP/TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY LAST MECHANIC RAN A RECALL SEARCH FOR MY CAR & FOUND A RECALL FOR MY MAKE & MODEL THAT COMPLETELY EXPLAINS MY PROBLEM. HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY THEY SAID MY VIN # DOES NOT QUALIFY?!?!? I CALLED CHRYSLER HOME OFFICE TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ERROR AS TO WHY MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL & THEY HAVEN'T CALLED BACK. HOW CAN CHRYSLER NOT HONOR THIS DEFECT IN MY CAR WHEN IT HONORS

VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK EVEN THOUGH BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. TRIED ROCKING THE VEHICLE BACK AND FORTH TO SEE IF IT WAS STUCK IN GEAR, NO CHANGE. I CONDUCTED AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL CHRYSLER AND DODGE PRODUCTS HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CAUSE: A SMALL PINK PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT HAS A SPRING ATTACHED TO IT, WHICH IS A GEAR LOCKING MECHANISM, TENDS TO BREAK AT ABOUT 40-60 THOUSAND MILES OR SOONER. THERE ARE NO CHRYSLER RECALLS FOR THIS ITEM. THE PIECE SEEMS TO COST ABOUT $2.00 FOR CHRYSLER TO MAKE HOWEVER, ONE WILL PAY $300-$400 OR MORE FOR THE DEALER TO FIX. TAKES MINUTES TO REPLACE IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ONE CAN FIND THE PART ONLINE AND REPLACE WITH METAL SO THAT IT WILL NOT BREAK AGAIN FOR ABOUT $50. CHRYSLER COMPLAINT LINE STATES THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX UNLESS NHTSB FILES A RECALL COMPLAINT. THEN I MAY GET REIMBURSED FOR MY COST. THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE CAN BREAK AT ANY TIME LEAVING THE DRIVER STRANDED ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME, E.G. THE DRIVE THRU., PARKING STRUCTURE AT NIGHT, ETC.. *TR

I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS INTERNAL DAMAGE AND THEY WANTED $1000 JUST TO DROP THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE THEY FIXED ANYTHING.THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 80000 MILES ON IT. WHEN IT ONLY HAD 36000 MILES THE ENGINE THREW A ROD AND I HAD TO SPEND $3000 FOR A NEW ENGINE. I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT PACIFICA'S BURN A QUART OF OIL ABOUT EVERY 1000 MILES. I WOULD HAVE CHECKED THE OIL MORE OFTEN HAD I KNOWN THIS. I TRADED IT IN RATHER THEN REPLACE THE TRANSMISSION. BUT NOT ON A CHRYSLER. *TR

THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THEY CANT VERIFY THE PROBLEM AND IT DOESN'T LEAVE ANY COMPUTER CODES BEHIND. I KNOW WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE BLOGS ALL OVER THE WEBSITE ABOUT THIS CHRYSLER ISSUE. *TR

APPROXIMATELY AROUND OCTOBER 2010, MY BRAKE LIGHT STARTED TO BLINK ON AND OFF. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE ABS LIGHT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING. WHEN THEY WOULD FLASH, THEY WOULD ALSO "DING" AND IT WOULD SHUT OFF THE RADIO UNTIL IT WAS FINISHED FLASHING AND DINGING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO NUMEROUS SHOPS AND HAS SEVERAL DIAGNOSTICS DONE, AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SO MANY THINGS. BY THE TIME I GO TO GET SOMETHING REPAIRED, I'M INFORMED THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE PARTS THAT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED TO REPLACE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY ALTERNATOR OVER CHARGES, THE CHIP IN MY KEY IS MISSED UP, MY POWERTRAIN CONTRAIN MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, MY MOTOR MOUNTS ARE LOOSE (WHICH I'VE ALREADY REPLACED), MY BATTERY WAS BAD (WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED), AND I ALSO NEED TO REPLACE MY ENGINE WIRING HARNESS. THIS IS OVER $5000 IN REPAIRS. THE CAR IS NOW STARTING TO SHUT OFF WHEN I'M AT A STOP LIGHT FOR TOO LONG. THERE HAS TO BE A WAY TO FIND OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE. IT IS COSTING ME TOO MUCH MONEY TO CONTINUE TO PAY THE MONTHLY CAR NOT AND DIAGNOSTIC TESTS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY HAVE BEEN NO HELP AT ALL. I SERIOUSLY THINK THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE. I CANNOT BE THE ONLY PERSON SUFFERING WITH THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS AN ISSUE THAT HAPPENS EVERYDAY. BECAUSE NO ONE CAN PROPERLY DIAGNOSE THIS PROBLEM, IT'S REALLY BECOME EXCESSIVE. IT'S AN ISSUE THAT I DEAL WITH ON A DAILY BASIS. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT A CLICKING NOISE WAS COMING FROM THE TOP OF THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED TO REPLACE THE ENGINES LIFTERS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. NEITHER THE DEALER, NOR THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,200. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.
