2006 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT ANY SPEED, THE VEHICLE WOULD LOSE POWER AND STALL WITHOUT WARNING. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TURNED OFF FOR A FEW MINUTES THE FUNCTION RETURNED TO NORMAL. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC BUT WAS UNABLE TO LOCATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 127,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 127,525.

I HAVE BEEN GETTING AN ABS LIGHT ON MY 2006 PACIFICA. WHEN IT IS ON THE BRAKES SHAKE AND GRAB. WHEN THE ABS LIGHT IS OFF THEY ARE FINE. I HAVE BEEN RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND HAVE FOUND DOZENS OF OTHERS THAT ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIR ABS FORT PACIFICAS. MANY ARE HAVING SPEED SENSORS REPLACED WITHOUT FIXING THE PROBLEM OTHERS ARE BEING TOLD THAT THEY NEED BRAKES AND OTHER ELECTRONIC COMPONENTS. I THINK CHRYSLER IS IGNORING THE PROBLEM AND THAT BRAKES THAT ARE INTERMITTENT IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THE FUEL TANK WAS LEAKING FUMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC WHO PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND CONFIRMED THAT THERE WAS A LEAK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,500.

ABS LIGHT APPEARS INTERMITTENTLY. MECHANIC FINDS NO PROBLEM. NOW TAKES GREATER DISTANCE TO STOP VEHICLE. EXPERIENCED COMPLETE BRAKE FAILURE 5/2/2011. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE. I DO NOT KNOW IF IT WILL ACTUALLY STOP WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKE. *TR

ON APRIL 13, 2011, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ABRUPTLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE STALL. ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WAS LOST, ALONG WITH ENGINE STALLING. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AGAIN WHEN IT THEN SUDDENLY STARTED TO DRIVE ROUGH FOR APPROXIMATELY A COUPLE OF SECONDS, AS IF IT AGAIN WANTED TO STALL, BUT DIDN'T. AFTER THIS, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMAL. TOOK VEHICLE TO PEPBOYS ON THE SAME DAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED A 420 AND A 700 FAULT CODE. ON THURSDAY APRIL 14, 2011 TOOK VEHICLE TO ALLIANCE CHRYSLER DEALER IN FT. WORTH, TX. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND MENTIONED THAT MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN THE PCM/FUEL PUMP RECALL ISSUED AGAINST 2006 PACIFICAS. I ALSO MENTIONED THAT THIS RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE WHICH THEY CONFIRMED. HOWEVER, I RAISED CONCERNS ON WHETHER THE RECALL APPLICABILITY NEEDED TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER OTHER PACIFICAS. THE DEALER HAS YET TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM BESIDES TELLING ME THAT THEY CONFIRMED A 420 AND 700 FAULT CODE WHICH THEY STATED WOULD REQUIRE ME TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING SOLENOID. I QUESTIONED WHETHER THE SUDDEN STALL OF THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MISLEADING FAULT CODE. DEALER TECHNICIAN MENTIONED THAT THE STALL COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FAULTY TRANSMISSION SOLENOID. I MENTIONED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD SHOWN NO INDICATION OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFT. BESIDES, IF A FAULTY TRAN

CRUISE CONTROL WAS ENGAGED AT 70MPH. ALL OF A SUDDEN, RPMS JUMPED TO 4000 AND SPEED STARTED TO INCREASE OUT OF CONTROL. TAPPED THE BRAKE TO DISENGAGE AND DID NOT WORK. PULLED OVER AND PREPARED TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE, HIT THE "CANCEL" BUTTON A COUPLE OF TIMES FOR THE CRUISE CONTROL. CRUISE FINALLY DISENGAGED AND RPMS DROPPED TO NORMAL RANGE. *TR

WENT TO START UP MY WIFE'S 06 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND THE ENGINE WAS MAKING A TICKING NOISE. I THEN LOOKED UP THE INFORMATION ON LINE TO COME TO MY SURPRISE THIS IS A PROBLEM IN THE 3.5 PACIFICA. I EVEN TRIED THE HEAVY OIL FIX AND STILL NO LUCK. CHRYSLER NEED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. I CHANGE MY OIL EVERY 3000 MILES WITH SYNTHETIC LIKE CLOCK WORK. THIS MIGHT BE MY LAST CHRYSLER PRODUCT.

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ABS BRAKE LIGHTS KEEP COMMING ON AND OFF TIME TO TIME. *TR

1. ACCIDENT WHERE MY CAR WAS SEVERELY REAR ENDED ON INTERSTATE. THE OTHER CAR (HONDA PRELUDE) HIT THE LEFT REAR OF MY CAR (CHRYSLER PACIFICA) AFTER I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. 2.

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER AND REPAIRED ACCORDING TO RECALL 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION: CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM). HOWEVER, WHEN SHE RECEIVED THE VEHICLE BACK, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS STILL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER WHO STATED THAT THE PURGE VALVE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND FILED A COMPLAINT; SHE WAS AWAITING A RESPONSE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 45,000. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 44,800.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE EVAP SYSTEM. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND A BROKEN HOSE FITTING IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IN THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK AND SHE ENGAGED THE BRAKES IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED MORE THAN FIFTY TIMES. SHE NOTICED WHEN THE VEHICLE ALSO BEGAN TO HESITATE WHEN SHE ENGAGED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL. THE FAILURE HAD BEEN ON GOING FOR SEVERAL WEEKS.

THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 57,500 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 58,086.

CAR HAS HAD THE SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT ON FOR OVER 6 MONTHS. TRIED TO GET DEALER TO HONOR WARRANTY - 48/50,000 - BUT HAD NO LUCK. AS OF OCTOBER, 15TH, 2010, THE CAR BECAME INOPERABLE DUE TO A HEAVY KNOCKING SOUND ASSOCIATED WITH THE ENGINE. I TRIED RELENTLESSLY AGAIN TO HAVE THE DEALER HONOR THE WARRANTY. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE CAR IN AND I DID SO. THEIR TESTING FOUND THAT THERE IS SLUDGE IN THE MOTOR, WHATEVER THAT IS. THE REPAIRS WILL TAKE $11,000 TO FIX, WHICH IS MORE THAN THE WORTH OF THE VEHICLE IN SOME CASES. I HAVE TRIED CONSUMER AFFAIRS IN MARYLAND BUT THE DEALER HAS NOT BUDGED. THE CAR IS STILL IN THE DEALER'S POSSESSION. *TR

ON FEBRUARY 14, 2011 I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN AT ABOUT 5 TO 10 MILES PER HOUR WHEN MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFIC STOPPED. I WAS BARELY INTO THE TURN WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND RESTART THE ENGINE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR PROBABLY 2 TO 3 TIMES A YEAR. USUALLY IT HAPPENS WHEN I MAKE SHARP LEFT TURNS BUT THIS TIME IT WAS NOT A SHARP TURN. I WAS VERY CONCERNED THIS TIME BECAUSE THERE WAS ANOTHER CAR APPROACHING AND I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE INTO CHRYSLER YEARS AGO FOR A RECALL AND REPLACEMENT OF A PART THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO STOP THE STALLING. BUT IT IS STILL OCCURING. NOT SURE IF IT IS ELECTRICAL OR FUEL LINE OR SOMETHING ELSE. *TR

VALVE LIFTER NOISE CAUSE BY SHEARED OFF PINS ON LIFTER SHART CAUSING SHAFT TO ROTATE AND OIL FEEDS NOT SUPPLYING LIFTERS. I HAD THIS REPAIR DONE @ 77,000 MILES IN SEPTEMBER 2009. IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN IN FEBRUARY 2011 @ 104,000 MILES. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 65 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD TAPPING NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA. HE CHECKED THE OIL LEVEL WHICH WAS FINE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE COULD BE SEVERAL REASONS FOR THE PROBLEM BUT DID NOT INSPECT IT. THE FAILURE CONTINUED AND WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 93,000.

CAR HAS STALLED (ENGINE CUTS OUT COMPLETELY) WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT LEAST 4 TIME. MOST RECENT WAS WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY IT JUST STOPPED, NEARLY CAUSING FATAL ACCIDENT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF CAR CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK WITH NO MEANS OF GETTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. YOU'RE A SITTING DUCK FOR A CRASH. FORTUNATELY, SHE GOT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR IS AT STEVENS CREEK CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (TOWED THERE TODAY). I AM ALSO IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION REGARDING THIS FLAW AND REPARATIONS THAT ARE DUE ME FROM THIS LEMON. THE DEALERSHIPS NUMBER IS 408 248-1800. THEY ARE AWARE I AM PURSUING MY OPTIONS WITH THIS DANGEROUS CAR AND I REALLY DON'T WANT IT BACK EVEN IF THEY TELL ME THEY'VE FIXED IT. I DON'T TRUST THIS PROBLEM AS IT'S RAMPANT AND CARS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. IT'S A BLESSING MY DAUGHTER WASN'T KILLED FROM WHAT THIS CAR DID.

GAS PEDAL STICKS/JAMS. HAVE TO STOMP ON GAS PEDAL TO UNSTICK WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO SPEED FORWARD OR BACKWARD. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED THE CONTACT APPLIED PRESSURE TO THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED. THE FAILURE OCCURRED FIVE TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER FILED A REPORT AND ADVISED THE CONTACT TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS REGARDING THE MANUFACTURER ASSUMING THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE REPAIR COST. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT WAS WAITING FOR THE RESULTS. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 64,500.

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP WORKED INTERMITTANTLY AND THEN LOST POWER. THERE IS NO POWER LEADING TO THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP ASSY. 2005 MODELS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER TELLS ME THAT MY 2006 SHOWS NO RECALLS PER MY VIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS THAT MY HEADLIGHTS CAN FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH. ALSO REPLACING BULBS WILL NOT HELP THIS SITUATION BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (FUSE BOX). SO YOU CANNOT EVEN DRIVE YOUR CAR HOME IF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS TO YOU ON THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS AND A HORRIBLE DESIGN BY CHRYSLER. *TR

ALL MOTOR MOUNTS ON OUR CHRYSLER PACIFICA BROKEN AFTER ONLY 60000 MILES!!! THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE AN UNKNOWING MOTORIST AN ACCIDENT. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. ALSO SAME VEHICLE HAD BROKEN GEAR SHIFT STRANDING MY FAMILY FOR HOURS AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED WITHOUT CHANGING THE UNIT. POORLY DESIGNED AND A CONSTANT DRAIN ON OUR FINANCES. GOVERNMENT OWNED??? *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS RECENTLY BEEN STALLING WHEN TURNING AT LOW SPEEDS. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFIC HAS TAPPING NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND DEALERS DON'T SEEM TO KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. ANOTHER CHECK IT AND SAID ITS THE LIFTERS. WARRANTY IS ON THE CAR AND THE NOISE IS ANNOYING. CHRYSLER NEED TO FIX THE PROBLEM. *TR

I WAS TURNING LEFT AT ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR AND THE ENGINE OF THE CAR TURNED OFF.

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA GAS PEDAL STICKS, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION. IT HAPPENS A LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE CHRYSLER SERVICE DEPARTMENT, AND THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE PROACTIVE BEFORE THIS GAS PEDAL STICKING CAUSES A MAJOR ORDEAL FOR CHRYSLER AND CONSUMERS. ALSO, THE LIFTER NOISE COMPLAINTS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM AND NHTSA NEEDS TO RESEARCH THIS DEFECT MORE CLOSELY. I JUST HAD THIS REPAIRED. *TR

ON THE EVENING OF MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2010, WE DROPPED OUR CAR OFF AT A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE PURPOSE FOR THIS DROP OFF WAS TO DETERMINE WHY THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON, AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. THE NEXT MORNING WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM A SERVICE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINING THAT OUR COMPUTER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT THEY HAD DISCOVERED AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM WITH THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS. THE TECHNICIAN WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS HAD COMPLETELY MELTED, AND HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY 'THE CAR DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE." AFTER AN "INVESTIGATION," CHRYSLER'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY REASON FOR THE FIRE, BUT ONLY OFFERED THAT IT EXTINGUISHED ITSELF. WE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, AND THEY RULED IT A FIRE, AND REPAIRED THE WIRING HARNESS. WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE ABS LIGHT MALFUNCTION. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE TURNING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH SHE HEARD A POPPING NOISE AROUND THE WHEELS. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER SHE WOULD MAKE A TURN. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE TIE RODS WERE REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED TO OCCUR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 1,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 80,000. UPDATED 2/01/11*LJ THE CONSUMER ALSO STATED THE ACCELERATOR WOULD STICK AT TIMES. UPDATED 03/21/11

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING WITH THE 3.5 L V6 TENDS TO BURN EXCESSIVE OIL. IT APPEARS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THIS ENGINE SEEM TO HAVE THIS SAME ISSUE. BETWEEN MY 3000 MILE OIL CHANGES, MY VEHICLE WILL LOSE 1-1.5 QUARTS OF OIL. THERE IS NO VISIBLE LEAKS AND WE ARE NOT SEEING ANY SMOKE COMING FROM MY TAIL PIPE. SOME WEBSITES HAVE INDICATED THE ENGINE DESIGN BEING AT FAULT. THEY SAY THE ENGINE GETS TOO HOT AND REMAINS TOO HOT CAUSING THE OIL TO PREMATURELY BREAK DOWN AND TURN TO SLUDGE. I STARTED NOTICING THE ISSUE AT ABOUT 60K MILES. I'M NOW AT 72K MILES. I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY INDICATED THAT 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES IS NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT AND WITHIN MANUFACTURER TOLERANCES. THIS IS RIDICULOUS FOR A 2006 VEHICLE. HERE ARE SOME SITES WHERE A LOT OF USERS HAVE COMPLAINED: HTTP://WWW.ASTRALAUTOREPAIRS.COM/FORUM/INDEX.PHP?TOPIC=2.0 HTTP://TOWNHALL-TALK.EDMUNDS.COM/DIRECT/VIEW/.F12CAF4 HTTP://WWW.CHRYSLERFORUM.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=5440 THE ASTRALAUTOREPAIRS SITE SEEMS TO HAVE EXPLAINED THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE AND A NON-CONVENTIONAL FIX THAT HASN'T BEEN THOROUGHLY TESTED. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 65000 MILES. EXTERIOR HEADLIGHTS AND INTERIOR DASH LIGHTS BEGIN TO FLICKER WHILE DRIVING. ALSO, ABS & BRAKE LIGHTS ARE FLICKERING ON AND OFF. THIS OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES DAILY..ESPECIALLY IN THE MORNINGS WHEN HEADLIGHTS ARE IN USE. I FEAR HEADLIGHTS WILL GO OUT PERMANENTLY AND WILL CAUSE A CRASH. HAVE SEEN SEVERAL COMPLAINTS FROM OTHER CONSUMERS.. WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN A RECALL . REPLACED SEVERAL SENSORS WILL NOT RESULTS. *TR

DRIVING MY CAR, NO NOTICEABLE PROBLEMS. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND I SAW A LOT OF FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS EXTREMELY CONCERNED, CHECKED ALL MY FLUIDS WHICH WERE OK. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. I THEN STARTED NOTICING THE CAR RIDING "ROUGH" AND IDLING ROUGH ALONG WITH A 'BANGING" WHEN STARTING OR STOPPING AT REDLIGHTS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS NOT TOLD ANYTHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES (THERE FOR UNRELATED ITEM) AND WAS INFORMED I HAVE A BAD MOTOR MOUNT. HE ASKED IF I NOTICED 3 SPECIFIC ITEMS.. UH.. YAH... ALL THE THINGS I TOLD THE DEALER! WAITING FOR HIM TO CHECK OVER THE ENTIRE CAR RIGHT NOW TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE IS WRONG. (PROBLEM WITH THE HEAT AND I THINK WITH MY SUSPENSION). ALSO, THE HEAT WILL NOT STOP BLOWING ON THE WINDSHIELD (DEFROST) BARELY GIVES OFF HEAT TO FEET ETC. GOT SO HOT IT MELTED THE PLASTIC ON THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE DEFROST EMITS FROM...DEALER "CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" BUT YET ALL I DO IS TURN ON THE CAR, SIT THERE 5 MINUTES AND TRY TO TURN THE HEAT TO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN DEFROST AND IT'S BLATANTLY OBVIOUS AS YOU CAN'T BREATHE FROM THE AMOUNT OF HOT AIR STILL BLOWING IN YOUR FACE OFF THE WINDSHIELD. CURRENTLY HAVE LOCAL MECHANIC LOOKING AT IT. PREVIOUS LOCAL MECHANIC FOUND ISSUE BUT WOULDN'T TEAR THE DASHBOARD APART TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. RECOMMENDED DEALER AS I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER CHARGED $88 DOLLARS TO LOOK AT CAR FOR ALL ABOVE ISSUES AND SAID NOTHING IS WRONG ... RATHER "CAN

BURNS OIL, BRAKES FLUTTER , CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY OR HOW TO TURN IT OFF I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA SO LIGHT ON GIVES ME AN AUTOMATIC FAIL ON MY SMOG TEST ALL OF THIS IS ONGOING AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLING ..... WITH NO WARNING IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND WORSE ON THE HIGHWAY IN TRAFFIC WAS TOLD BY MANY DEALERS THAT IT WAS THE OIL SWITCH AS THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON WHEN IT HAPPENS ALSO WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE INCORRECT OIL FILTER ON MY CHRYSLER FILTERS MUST BE USED ON THAT ENGINE , THIS IS MY WIFE'S CAR AND NOW IT IS HAPPENING ABOUT EVERY TIME SHE STOPS AND OR LEFT TURN , SHE HAS BEEN IN MANY SITUATIONS WHERE SHE WAS ALMOST IN AN ACCIDENT TO THE POINT THAT SHE DOESN'T EVEN DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE IN SEEING ALL THE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS I WOULD HOPE THAT A RECALL WOULD BE ISSUED BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES A LIFE. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH LESS THAN 32,000 MILES ON IT, HAD A STRIPPED CV JOINT THAT CAUSED THE LEFT FRONT AXLE SHAFT/CV JOINT TO FALL OF WHILE I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN. THANKFULLY I WAS MAKING A TURN AND NOT TRAVELING ON THE INTERSTATE AT 70 MILES PER HOUR. I WAS BARELY ABLE TO GET THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD AND OUT OF THE WAY OF ON COMING TRAFFIC. *TR

THROTTLE STICKS OR WILL NOT MOVE FOR FIRST 1/4" OF TRAVEL. WHEN THE PEDAL FINALLY BECOMES UNSTUCK, THIS CAUSES RAPID ACCELERATION IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. *TR

TOW TRUCK DRIVER SAYS HE SEES THIS 4 TO 5 TIMES DAILY WITH BOTH PACIFICAS AND 300'S, HAD TO HAVE CAR TOWED TO DODGE FOR REPAIR OF A PLASTIC CLIP THAT BROKE, PUSH KEY OVERRIDE WOULD NOT WORK. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S WHEEL WILL COMPLETELY LOCK UP WHILE DRIVING NO MATTER THE RATE OF SPEED. THE ONLY WAY TO GET IT UNLOCKED IS TO PUT MY CAR IN PARK, TURN OFF THE IGNITION, THEN TURN IT BACK ON. IMAGINE HAVING TO DO THIS ON THE INTERSTATE! IT'S DONE THIS EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE SINCE JANUARY 2010 BUT NOW JULY 2010 IT DOES IT EVERY DAY. THIS IS DEFINITELY NOT A POWER STEERING ISSUE BECAUSE I'VE DEALT WITH THAT WITH A PREVIOUS VEHICLE: THIS COMPLETELY LOCKS UP. I'VE BROUGHT IT TO MY MECHANIC AND THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY WANT ME TO BRING IT TO A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER AND TO CALL THEM BACK; SUPPOSEDLY I MAY OR MAY NOT GET ASSISTANCE FOR THIS AND FROM THE LOOKS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS IT'S NOT HAPPENING. THIS ISN'T JUST THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY BUT OTHERS AROUND ME. *TR

THE MANAGER WAS NOT CARING AT ALL I TOLD HIM THAT I FELT THAT THIS WAS A SAFETY ISSUE AND HE WAS NOT CONCERN WITH THE SAFETY OF MY WELL BEING. I HAVE ALSO CALLED THE CHRYSLER HEADQUARTER AND INFORM THEM ABOUT MY ISSUE WITH THE GAS PEDAL. THIS COULD LEAD TO ME PUSHING ON THE GAS PEDAL TO HARD AND POSSIBLY RUNNING INTO THE BACK OF SOMEONE AND OUR SOMETHING ELSE HAPPENING. MR. MIKE BAYAT WHO IS THE DIRECTOR OF THAT DEALERSHIP DID NOT EVEN GO OUT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THE PROBLEM HE JUST TO HIS TECH WORK AND I FELT THAT THE TECH WAS THE ONE WHO COULD HAVE BROKEN THE LINE. I FELT THAT I WAS TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF BECAUSE I AM A WOMEN, I KNOW THAT THEY MAKE THERE MONEY ON HOW MANY REPAIRS THEY DO. MY WARRANTY COVER THIS PART AND I FELT THAT THE PERSON THAT WAS WORKING ON MY CAR WAS TRYING TO GET OVER ON ME. ANOTHER TECH WAS THERE AND HE FELT THAT THE TECH WHO HAD WORK ON MY CAR SHOULD HAVE REPLACE IT UNDER THE WARRANTY. THIS PART IS COVER UNDER THE I HAVE WARRANTY AND THE MANAGER COULD CARE LESS ABOUT MY SAFETY. I LEFT THERE WITH THE GAS PEDAL STILL STICKING AND NO CONCERNS FROM THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

MY ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I DRIVE MY CAR EVERY DAY TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO DAYCARE AND THEN TO WORK. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, MY BRAKES WILL START GRINDING AND THEN THE BRAKES WILL FAIL. I HAVE LUCKILY NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, BUT HAVE RAN STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. I HAVE COME INCHES FROM HITTING OTHER CARS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THAT I DRIVE THE CAR. IT WILL START TO HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST FOUR TO FIVE MILES AND I DRIVE ROUGHLY 20 MILES A DAY JUST TO WORK. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO LES SCHWAB AND THEY SAY MY BRAKES AND PADS ARE FINE. THEY FLUSHED THE BRAKES AND RE-BLED THEM TO SEE IF THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING, BUT IT HAS NOT. I HAVE SEARCHED ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF OWNERS FOR THE 2006 PACIFICA STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND ANY TIME THEY FIX A SENSOR WHICH IS WHAT THE READER CODE IS COMING UP, THE SAME THING HAPPENS AND SAYS IT'S THE SENSOR AGAIN. IT REALLY CONCERNS ME THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE YET. WHAT DOES IT TAKE? SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THIS VEHICLE IS RECALLED? EVERY DAY I HAVE TO WONDER IF MY CHILDREN AND I WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T MAKE A LOT OF MONEY, HAVE 3 CHILDREN TO SUPPORT AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BY ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK. I AM PLEADING TO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY AND TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THESE MANY OWNERS AND FAMILIES OF THE 2006 PACIFICA. WHAT IF YOU AND YOU'R
