THE CONTACT CONFIRMED THAT THE FRONT DRIVERS SIDE TIE ROD NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT PREVIOUSLY REPLACED THE RIGHT LOWER TIE ROD DUE TO THE IDENTICAL FAILURE.

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 20,000.

EVERYTIME IT RAN, I HAVE TROUBLE WITH THE POWER STEERING ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. IT WORKS GREAT MAJORITY OF THE TIME EXCEPT IN THE RAIN AND DEFINITELY NOT IF THE ROAD IS WET. IT STALLS AND I LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND THE WHEEL TIGHTENS UP. I'M FORCED TO GO IN THE DIRECTION AT WHICH THE WHEEL IS LOCKED UP. I'VE REPORTED TO CHRYSLER DODGE IN SAN ANTONIO BUT THEY SAY IT'S NOTHING THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. IT'S A SAFETY HAZARD AND I'M AFRAID IT'S GOING TO LEAD TO A WRECK WHEN I CAN'T COMPLETE A TURN OR STALL IN TRAFFIC. THIS HAS BEEN ONGOING SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR IN 2006. TODAY WAS ANOTHER BIG RAIN DAY IN SAN ANTONIO, TX SO IT HAPPENED AGAIN AND MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENT WHO ONCE AGAIN SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. CAN SOMEONE DO SOMETHING? IS THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER PACIFICA DRIVERS OR HAS IT HAPPENED? WILL SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE BEFORE ANYONE NOTICE THIS IS A PROBLEM? *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA - THROTTLE STICKS FOR FIRST 1/4" OF TRAVEL. THIS CAUSES RAPID ACCELERATION IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. THIS OCCURS MORE OFTEN IN WARM OR HOT WEATHER. CHRYSLER HAS NOT REPAIRED ISSUE. MECHANICS HAVE NOT BEEN "ABLE TO REPRODUCE EVENTS". *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA -- AXLE CLANKS WHEN I LIFT MY FOOT OFF GAS PEDAL WHEN SLOWING DOWN IN TRAFFIC AND THEN PUT FOOT ON GAS PEDAL AT ANY SPEED.. TOOK IN TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID NEED NEW AXLE WHICH WILL COST $1000 PLUS TAX APPROX. SAID THIS IS COMMON TO PACIFICA'S AND MY PROBLEM WAS NOT AS LOUD AND AS BAD AS OTHER PACIFICA'S THEY HAVE SEEN AND WORKED ON. I DON'T SEE WHY I HAVE TO PAY FOR THIS REPAIR WHEN THIS IS "COMMON TO PACIFICA'S". IN FACT MY OWN MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THE VERY SAME THING --- WHY WASN'T VEHICLE RECALLED. WHAT CAN I DO? I DON'T HAVE $1200 TO FIX THIS. AND IF CHRYSLER MECHANICS SAY THIS IS "QUIRK OF THE PACIFICA'S" , THEN WHY IS THE REPAIR ON ME? I'M WORRIED THIS WILL GET TO THE POINT WHERE I CANT DRIVE THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 25 MPH IN INCLEMENT WEATHER, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER STEERING CAPABILITIES. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 53,922.

DROVE OVER A STICK, APPROXIMATELY 1.5" IN DIAMETER, THE STICK WENT THROUGH THE TREAD OF THE TIRE, THEIR WAS NO CUTTING ACTION FROM THE STICK NOR WAS IT SHARP. THE STICK PROTRUDED APPROXIMATELY 7" INTO THE TIRE. THE STICK WAS ALSO EXTREMELY DRIED OUT AND CRACKING. UPON INSPECTION OF INNER TIRE WALL, IT APPEARS AS IF THE RUBBER JUST SPREAD APART. FULL SET WAS PURCHASED 07/02/2009 (MILEAGE: 35270) AND FAILED ON 04/29/2010 (MILEAGE: 54923). BRAND NAME IS NOT LISTED, BRAND: DEFINITY, LINE: DAKOTA H/T. *TR

MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA 06 HAS A LIFTER PROBLEM AND HAVE HEARD OF OTHER PACIFICA'S WITH THE SAME ISSUE. BELIEVE A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED ON THIS AND CHRYSLER IS REFUSING. *TR

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND MY CRUISE CONTROL WOULDN'T DIS-ENGAGE WHEN I PRESSED THE CANCEL BUTTON ON THE STEERING WHEEL. I TRIED IT AGAIN AND WHEN I HIT CANCEL IT SPED UP!!. I WAS LUCKY THAT I WAS ABLE TO HIT THE BRAKES TO MAKE THE CRUISE SHUT OFF OTHER WISE I COULD HAVE CAUSED A MAJOR ACCIDENT. *TR

LOUD TICKING NOISE AND RATTLING IN THE ENGINE. 4TH TIME SINCE BUYING THE PACIFICA I'VE HAD TO TAKE IT IN TO GET THE SAME ISSUE FIXED. THE NOISE SOUNDS LIKE THE CAR IS A TRUCK. THE ISSUE IS THE VALVES, SHAFTS AND SHAFT HEAD. I WAS ALSO ADVISED THAT IF I WERE TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE PACIFICA, THE ENGINE COULD BLOW. THIS IS A DEFECT WHEN THEY MADE THIS CAR. I KNOW FOR A FACT IT'S NOT THE DEALER I TAKE IT TO B/C I'VE BEEN TO ONE IN GA, ONE IN ORLANDO, FL AND NOW IN MIAMI, FL. I KNEW WHAT IT WAS BEFORE I TOOK IT IN AND EVERY SINGLE TIME CHRYSLER LOOKS AT ME LIKE, "JUST ANOTHER WOMEN COMPLAINING B/C SHE DOESN'T LIKE THE SOUND." IT'S B/C I DON'T WANT MY ENGINE TO BLOW IN MY FACE WHILE DRIVING. I AM IN TUNE WITH MY PACIFICA AND KNOW THAT SOUND WELL. THEY HAVE HAD TO CHANGE THE VALVE SHAFTS EACH TIME AND EVEN A SHAFT HEAD. I'VE OWNED THE CAR BRAND NEW 12/2006, NO MILES, HAVE HAD IT SERVICE REGULARLY LIKE WARRANTY STATES YET THE PROBLEM KEEPS COMING BACK. IT HAS 58,900 MILES ON IT SO IT SHOULDN'T HAVE THIS ISSUE ALMOST EVERY YEAR. LAST INCIDENT HAS BEEN SELECTED. PREVIOUS INCIDENTS, EVERY YEAR SINCE 2007. *TR

GAS PEDAL STICKING. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. EVERYDAY IT STALLS ON MY WIFE AND KIDS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RECALL THEY THEY HAVE ON THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND POWER TRAIN MODULE. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ON THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE 'S VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONTHE RECALL LIST. I TOLD THEM HOW CAN THEY CONTROL WHICH VEHICLE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND POWER TRAIN MODULE IS BAD. I TOLD THEM IS GOING TO CAUSE A DEADLY CRASH ONE DAY. ALL THEY DO IS GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND.WHAT CAN I DO? THANKS FOR QUICK RESPONSE. *TR

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). ABS LIGHT ON - FAILURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I OWN A CHRY-PACIFICA 2006, ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, JUST BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON, (TRANSITION BETWEEN ABS STOPPED WORKING AND TURNED TO TRADITIONAL BRAKES) I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CAR INSTEAD OF STOPPING KEPT GOING AND I JUST MISSED HITTING THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE FAILURE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THIS REPAIRED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN PROVIDING INSTRUCTION ABOUT REPLACEMENT OF SENSORS FOR PACIFICA, ALSO IT SUGGESTS IT COULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BASED ON WARRANTY PROVISIONS. MILEAGE: AROUND 60,000 THE QUESTION I HAVE IS IF CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHY CAN'T THEY EXTEND WARRANTY ON SUCH PARTS THAT ARE RELATED TO SAFETY? ALSO, IT REQUIRES THE OWNER TO REPLACE ALL FOUR SENSORS - WHY? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BEDONE TO HELP THE CUSTOMER WITH THIS ISSUE? [XXX] *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA GAS PEDAL IS STICKING. WHEN MOVING FROM PARKED OR STOPPED POSITION THE PEDAL NEEDS A LOT OF FORCE IN ORDER TO GO. THE CAR JERKS FORWARD AND TAKES OFF FAST. *TR

2006 PACIFICA HAS MAJOR KNOCKING NOISE. SOUNDS LIKE A LIFTER AND AFTER CHECKING ONLINE I FOUND THAT SEVERAL OTHER PEOPLE WITH THIS YEAR MODEL HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA USING OVER A QUART OF OIL PER WEEK, THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SAME COMPLAINT ALL OVER THE INTERNET WITH THE SAME RESPONSE THAT I HAVE RECEIVED FROM CHRYSLER DEALERS. "1 QUART PER WEEK OR 1 THOUSAND MILES IS A PERFECTLY NORMAL OIL BURN OFF RATE" THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND FINANCIAL ISSUE ESPECIALLY INVOLVING A CAR THIS NEW AND IT STARTED AT 37,000 MILES. THE CAR IS NOT LEAKING OIL, IT JUST DISAPPEARS AND FROM OTHER STORIES I HAVE READ IT SAYS THAT THE PISTON RINGS DO NOT FIT THE ENGINE CYLINDERS. CORRECT ME IF I AM WRONG BUT COULDN'T THIS PROBLEM CAUSE ENGINE FAILURE OR FIRE. NOT TO MENTION LEAVE A PERSON STRANDED AFTER THE ENGINE BLOWS. *TR

EXTREME OIL CONSUMPTION HAVE TO PUT AN XTRA BOTTLE OF OIL IN EVERY OTHER WEEK...DEALERSHIP TOLD ME NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND ITS COMMON ON EVERY PACIFICA... / ABS SENSOR PROBLEMS -LIGHT KEPT TURNING ON RANDOMLY AND BRAKES FLUTTERING RANDOMLY WHEN TRYING TO STOP/ FAULTY ENGINE TEMPERATURE SENSOR- CAR OVERHEATED SEVERAL TIMES CAUSING MAJOR SMOKE TO BILLOW OUT OF HOOD HAD TO REPLACE SENSOR/ TIE ROD REPLACEMENT BEFORE 40K MILES/ NOW GAS PEDAL STICKING ALONG WITH SEPARATE TERRIBLE ENGINE NOISES-- SOUNDS LIKE STRUGGLING AND MAKING A HOLLOW SOUND AS IF YOU ARE BLOWING INTO AN EMPTY GLASS BOTTLE..NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT IS CAUSING IT OR HOW TO FIX IT..NOTHING BUT A MONEY PIT WITH ONE PROBLEM AFTER ANOTHER! VERY UPSET THAT CHRYSLER IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS WHILE WE ALL SUFFER AND KEEP THROWING OUR HARD EARNED MONEY OUT THE WINDOW! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHENEVER THE CONTACT DROVE THE VEHICLE, SHE NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL NEEDED MORE THAN NORMAL PRESSURE APPLIED TO IT IN ORDER FOR IT TO ACCELERATE; HOWEVER, WHENEVER THE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 40000.

MY WIFE HAS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND AS OF YESTERDAY 2/22/2010 THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAS STUCK IN THE UP POSITION 3 TIMES WHILE SHE HAS BEEN DRIVING AND 1 TIME WHILE I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE ON 2/21/10. THE PEDAL STICKS UP SO THAT IT CAN NOT BE PUSHED DOWN. WE HAVE HAD TO TURN THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTART BEFORE WE CAN EASILY PUSH THE PEDAL DOWN. I AM CONCERNED THAT A TIME MAY COME WHERE WE ARE PULLING OUT IN TRAFFIC AND THE PEDAL STICKS POTENTIALLY CAUSING OUR VEHICLE TO NOT ACCELERATE AND CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT EMITS A STRONG NATURAL GAS SMELL. THE PROBLEM STARTED 3 DAYS AGO (2/20/10). I WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TODAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CONFIRMED THE SMELL OF NATURAL GAS, BUT COULD NOT OFFER A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THEY DROVE THE CAR AND UPON BRAKING AND ACCELERATION THE FUMES WERE EMITTED. THE CHRYSLER MECHANICS SAID THAT 'THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING MECHANICAL THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SMELL.' MY LUNGS HURT AND MY NERVES ARE REALLY GETTING BAD! JUST BY DRIVING AROUND TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN FIX IT! I DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND I'M STILL AFFECTED BY THE FUMES. WE JUST HAD A SNOW STORM AND I'M FREEZING IN MY CAR, TRYING TO BREATHE! I LIVE IN DETROIT, WE ARE THE HARDEST HIT BY THIS RECESSION AND I NEED A CAR TO KEEP MY JOB! I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO MY CUSTOMERS. I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE, NOR CAN I AFFORD ONE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

THERE WAS A SEPARATE OCCASION WHEN THE IDENTICAL FAILURE OCCURRED AND THE PEDAL RELEASED ONLY IN THE "NEUTRAL" POSITION. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THE FAILURE WAS CONTRIBUTED TO A CARBON BUILD-UP IN THE THROTTLE BODY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD VEHICLE CHECKED AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN EVAP LEAK. BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP FIRST, THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, MECHANIC PULLED THE GAS TANK AND FOUND THE FUEL PUMP LINE HAD CRACKED, EVIDENTLY THE GAS TANK IS PLASTIC AND SUNK IN AT THE TOP CAUSING THE PLASTIC LINE ON THE PUMP TO CRACK. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WE HAD TO ADD SOME EXTRA LINE TO FUEL LINE JUST TO PUT THE TANK BACK UP AND KEEP FROM BRAKING THE NEW FUEL PUMP. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING AND WHEN I COME TO A STOP IT BEGINS TO VIBRATE AND I REARENDED THE PEOPLE INFRONT OF ME. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR UNIT. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEMS HAVE EVER BEEN DOCUMENTED...THEY NEED TO START CHECKING THIS SITE AND SEE THAT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ARE THE SAME. *CW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ENGAGE THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL IT BECAME STIFF WHICH MADE IT DIFFICULT TO MOVE THE VEHICLE.

WHEN ACCELERATOR IS RELEASED IT (STICKS IN UP POSITION / HAS A CATCH) MAKING DIFFICULT TO PRESS. THIS OCCURS AT ALL SPEEDS (FROM A STOP TO 80 MPH). THIS COULD BE A MAJOR HAZARD WHEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR NEEDING TO PULL OUT INTO HEAVY TRAFFIC. PROBLEM IS PERSISTENT SINCE PURCHASE MILEAGE 35,000 WITH CURRENT MILEAGE 49,250. *TR

MY 06 CHRYSLER PACIFIC SHUTS DOWN WITHOUT WARNING THE LIGHTS FLASH SPONTANEOUSLY A CHIME OR BELL SOUND GOES OFF AND THERE IS A POPPING SOUND THAT COMES FROM THE SPEAKERS. THIS OCCURS SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I'VE CONTACTED A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THERE WAS NO RECALL ON THE CAR. I'VE RESEARCHED THESE ISSUES AND FOUND THAT THIS COMPLAINT IS COMMON AMONG NUMEROUS CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS. I AM NOT IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE ANOTHER VEHICLE AND I HAVEN'T OWNED THIS ONE A YEAR. PROBLEM BEGAN AFTER OWNING THE VEHICLE ONLY 4 MONTHS. *TR

ABS SYSTEM WILL ENGAGE FOR NO REASON AT LOW SPEED AND LIGHT BRAKING. ABS WARNING SYSTEM LIGHT WILL COME ON WITHOUT A REASON. ABS SENSORS REPLACE APPROXIMATELY 2 TIMES. HAVE REPLACED A SENSOR AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME BACK. DURING THE NIGHT AND GO OFF ON DAY LIGHT. *TR

PREMATURE WEARING OF 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TIE RODS. *TR

ONE ROCKER ARM (LIFTER) WENT OUT IN JULY 09. WE REPLACED THE FAULTY ROCKER ARM. JUST TWO WEEKS AGO, ALL ROCKER ARMS WENT OUT, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT WAS RECENTLY REPLACED. THIS HAS CAUSED MY 06 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO NOT TURN OVER AND NOT START. BOTH THE BATTERY AND STARTER HAVE BEEN TESTED AND ARE FINE. ALL ROCKER ARMS ARE NOW BEING REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1000 WITH ONLY 43K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHY THE BRAND NEW ROCKER ARM (LIFTER) HAD FAILED, THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE MECHANISM WITH THE ROCKER ARMS HAS A FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

I AM ALSO HAVING A PROBLEM WITH A TICKING SOUND IN MY ENGINE. TOOK IT BACK TO THE CAR DEALERSHIP TO FIX, BUT THEY WILL NOT HONOR OUR WARRANTY. I DO NOT EVEN THINK THEY KNOW WHAT IT WRONG WITH IT. IT IS JUST BECOMING LOUDER AND LOUDER AND I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. *TR

PRESSED THE GAS PEDAL AND A LOUD NOISE LIKE A BUMP CAME FROM THE ENGINE. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNT. THEY SAID THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY DON'T KNOW WHEN THEY COULD DO IT. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE HEADLIGHTS FAILED TO OPERATE NORMALLY. THE DEALER HAS NOT DIAGNOSED THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT IS AWARE OF THE SAFETY RISK SINCE THE HEADLIGHTS COULD SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND CRASH COULD OCCUR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 56,000 AND THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING WITH AROUND 40K MILES. THESE DAYS I HAVE HEARD THE TICKING NOISE FROM ENGINE. I TRIED TO FIX THIS PROBLEM FROM MANY MECHANICS, BUT THEY CAN NOT FIX IT. THE NOISE MAKES ME CRAZY. I COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING WRONG. FURTHERMORE, MANY MECHANICS COULD NOT FIND WHAT IS THE PROBLEM. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS ABS BRAKE ISSUES. ABS LIGHTS COME ON AND OFF AND ABS PULSES RANDOMLY AT TIMES. CAR ONLY HAS 19K MILES. MANY OTHERS HAVE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

WE BOUGHT A 2006 PACIFICA TOURING THIS CAR BURNS A QUART OF OIL 1000 MILE. ITS LIKE CLOCKWORK, I HAVE TO CHECK IT ALL THE TIME!!!! BECAUSE IT CONSISTENTLY BURNS OIL. NO VEHICLE WITH 37000 SHOULD DO THAT WE HAVE A 2003 CHEVY WITH A V-6 WITH 137000 MILES AND IT DOE NOT BURN NEAR THE OIL IF ANY. THIS NEED TO BE SERIOUSLY LOOKED AT BY CHRYSLER MY PROBLEM IS AT 37000 MILES OUR WARRANTY EXPIRED!! *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. ABS SYSTEM FAILURES. ABS SYSTEM ENGAGES AND DISENGAGES AT RANDOM WHILE DRIVING. DEALER SAYS THIS IS KNOWN TO CHRYSLER BECAUSE THEY USED WIRING TO THE WHEELS THAT WAS NOT HEAVY (OR STRONG) ENOUGH AND EACH WHEEL SENSOR MUST BE REPLACED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM CHRYSLER DEALER SAID THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE BUT I BELIEVE THAT IT IS ESPECIALLY SHOULD I NEED TO BRAKE HARD IN AND EMERGENCY. WHY SHOULD THE OWNER OF THESE VEHICLES HAVE TO PAY TO CORRECT AN ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS IS THEIR FAULT FROM THE BEGINNING? IS THIS A SAFETY ISSUE OR NOT? *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA I HAD MY TIRES ROTATED THE ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON I LOOKED THIS INFORMATION UP ONLINE AND FOUND OUT THAT THIS IS HAPPENING ALL THE TIME ON THE PACIFICA AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS PROBLEM THE CHARGE JUST TO LOOK AT THE CAR IS 85 DOLLARS THEN THE COST OF REPAIR. *TR

I BOUGHT MY CAR JANUARY 31, 2009! THERE IS A KNOCKING IN THE ENGINE AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT IT IS THE VALVE LIFTERS. THE DEALER WHERE I BOUGHT THE CAR WILL NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FWD 3.6OHC WITH 31K MILES 1) EVENTS LEADING UP: TO FAILURE DRIVING THE CAR AS USUAL; 450+ MILES INTO A 575 MILE TRIP 2) FAILURE: THE LIFTERS STARTED PINGING/KNOCKING. KNOCKING NOISE BECAME LOUDER / MORE SEVERE AS DRIVING CONTINUED. 3) LIFTER ASSEMBLY IS CURRENTLY BEING REPLACED. OTHER OWNERS OF THIS SAME MODEL (DIFFERENT YEARS) HAVE POSTED THEIR EXPERIENCES OF THIS FAILURE (WWW.CHRYSLERFORUM.COM/FORUM/SHOWTHREAD.PHP?T=7626). *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. SINCE MAY OF 2009, THE CONTACT HAS NOTICED WHITE FOAM ON THE FLOOR OF THE VEHICLE. SHE DISCOVERED THAT THE FOAM WAS FALLING FROM THE BACK PADDING OF THE DRIVER'S SEAT. THE SEAT WAS INTACT, BUT THE CONTACT BELIEVED THAT THE FOAM WAS DRY ROTTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN IN TO HAVE THE DRY ROTTED FOAM REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT DID NOT WANT TO PAY FOR THE REPAIR. CHRYSLER STATED THAT THEY WOULD HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIR IF THE VEHICLE HAD LESS THAN 36,000 MILES. CHRYSLER ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS A DEFECT, BUT WOULD NOT COVER THE REPAIR DUE TO THE MILEAGE ON THE VEHICLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 46,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE VEERED SLIGHTLY TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE THEN HEADED DOWN A RAVINE AND DROVE ACROSS THE SHOULDER INTO THE NORTHBOUND LANE. THERE WAS NO CRASH. THE CONTACT TOOK HIS VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC SHOP AND WAS INFORMED THAT ALL OF THE ALIGNMENT ADJUSTER BOLTS ON THE REAR WHEELS WERE LOOSE. HE STATED THAT THE REAR WHEELS HAD NOT BEEN ALIGNED PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 52,300.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DISPLAY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD SPORADICALLY FAIL. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. ON ONE OCCASION, THE PISTON ROD FAILED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO STALL WHILE IDLING. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY, ALTERNATOR, AND COMPUTER (ICM). SHORTLY AFTER THE REPAIRS, THE FAILURE RESURFACED. ALL OF THE REMEDIES HAVE BEEN INSUFFICIENT IN CORRECTING THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 27,922 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 59,999.

AT 40,000 MILES CAR STARTED MAKING TICKING NOISE. TOOK IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND HE DETERMINED THE LIFTERS NEEDED CHANGING. REPLACED THE LIFTERS THEN AGAIN AT 60,000 MILES THE CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME I HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC FROM WORK CALL A FRIEND AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT CHRYSLER WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE LIFTERS AND THAT THERE WAS A REPAIR KIT AVAILABLE THROUGH CHRYSLER. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK FOR 2 WEEKS NOW WITH NO PROBLEMS SO FAR. THE MECHANIC VISUALLY CONFIRMED THAT THE RETAINING PINS OF THE SHAFT WERE INDEED SHEARED, THUS BLOCKING THE OIL GALLEY AND THE FLOW OF OIL TO THE LIFTERS. MY OPINION IS WHY WOULD CHRYSLER COME OUT WITH THIS REPAIR KIT IF THERE WAS NO WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. *TR

OWN 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, LOCAL DEALERSHIP REPORTED FRONT MOTOR MOUNT WAS BROKEN BUT DEALERSHIP TOLD ME IT CAN BE DANGEROUS IF NOT REPAIRED BUT PART IS ON BACKORDER AND THERE IS NOTHING THAT CAN BE DONE. AFTER READING BLOGS THIS IS A NATIONAL ISSUE. *TR

BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS AND AXLE. ABS SENSORS HAD TO REPLACE BATTERY AND BOTH HEADLIGHTS ALL BEFORE 50000 MILES. 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IS A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DON'T KNOW WHY THESE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE NOT BEEN RECALLED. FURTHERMORE MOTOR MOUNTS ON 2 MONTH BACK ORDER UNABLE TO FIX SO PUTTING MORE STRESS ON MY CAR NEEDING MORE REPAIRS. *TR
