TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL VEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BUSHING, THE CRADLE, AND THE MOTOR MOUNTS; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.
THE VEHICLE WAS TURNING INTO PARKING SPACE, ACTED LIKE THE TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGED, POWER STEERING FUNCTION WAS LOST. VEHICLE WAS PUT IN PARK, ENGINE TURNED OFF. RESTARTED AT THAT TIME. OWNER ASSUMED INCIDENT RESULTED FROM A SLIP ON FRESH RAIN CONCRETE AND RESULTED IN TRACTION CONTROL ENGAGEMENT DUE TO SENSITIVITY OF TRACTION CONTROL FEATURE. THIS IS REALLY NOT NECESSARY AT < 10 MPH. SECOND INCIDENT: ONE WEEK LATER TO THE DAY ON JULY 10, 2015, THE VEHICLE ROLLED TO A STOP ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD. THE VEHICLE PASSED OVER AN INSIGNIFICANT, SMALL PILE OF DEAD LOOSED GRASS ON RIGHT SIDE OF VEHICLE DURING ITS ROLLING TO A STOP MODE. VEHICLE STEERING LOCKED UP AND ENGINE STALLED. OWNER MADE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS TO RESTART BUT HAD TO WAIT 10 MINUTES BEFORE VEHICLE WOULD RESTART AND PARK IT. DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN NOTIFIED-APPOINTMENT SCHEDULED TO DIAGNOSE.
WITHIN MINUTES OF PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING SIMPLY SHUT DOWN. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS A SHOCK TO ME WHEN I LOST ACCELERATION AND POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND IT TOOK ME A FEW SECONDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I PULLED OVER WITH SOME DIFFICULTY AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE VEHICLE AND RETURNED HOME. SINCE THAT DATE, MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS OUR TEENAGER'S PRIMARY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO HER AS SHE IS A NEW DRIVER AND MY OWN REACTION TO THE INCIDENT WAS INAPPROPRIATE. I SHOULD HAVE PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RE-STARTED IT, BUT THANK GOD I DID LIVE AND LEARN. SINCE THAT INCIDENT MY HUSBAND HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOSS OF POWER ON THREE ADDITIONAL OCCASIONS. I AM IN CONSTANT FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED ONCE. THANKFULLY OTHER DRIVERS WERE AWARE AND WERE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME FOR MY HUSBAND TO RE-COVER. AS I HAVE READ MANY OTHER INCIDENT REPORTS CONCERNING MY VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, I AM HOPEFUL THAT CHRYSLER WILL ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS UP INJURED OR DEAD.
DRIVE AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHREN MY CAR JUST SHOUT DOWN . HAD NO STERTING OR BREAKS . LUCKY THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPED AND I KNEW TIO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY ,DROP IT IN DRAVE AND A AWY YOU GO . THE OTHER TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY TO COUNT I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO CORNER VERY SCARY WHEN YOU CANT STOP OR TURN YOUR WHEEL . NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNS .
I HAD MY 2007 PACIFICA IN PARK POSITION WITH THE ENGINE ON. I PUT MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO REVERSE THE CAR OUT OF PARKING SPACE. THE GEAR SHIFT LEVER WOULD NOT RELEASE AND GO INTO REVERSE. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE DEALER TO REPAIR. COST ME OVER $500 (PART #4880276-AB SHIFTER T21030407). BEING STUCK IN TRAFFIC IS VERY DANGEROUS.
GEAR SHIFT LEVER STUCK IN PARK. HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO DEALER. THEY SAID MY VIN WASN'T ON THE RECALL LIST.
PURCHASED THE PACIFICA TOURING AWD IN SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER, 2013. IT WAS IN FABULOUS CONDITION. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST OF EIGHT OCCURRENCES WHEREIN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING DIDN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY, LIKELY BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING. FIVE OF THESE EIGHT OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WITHIN ONE MILE OF MY RESIDENCE. ADDITIONALLY, IT OCCURRED ONCE IN A PARKING LOT, ONCE IN AN INTERSECTION, AND ONCE AS I WAS GETTING ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. A FEW OF THE OCCURRENCES ALMOST RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS. I WAS AT THE MERCY OF THE OTHER DRIVERS IN THOSE CASES. I HAVE SIX GRANDCHILDREN. I'M HESITANT TO TAKE THEM ON TRIPS BECAUSE I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MY PACIFICA'S SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. MY VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT SEEMS EERILY SIMILAR TO NUMEROUS OTHER OWNER'S 2007 PACIFICA SAFETY COMPLAINTS. I PRAY CHRYSLER WILL INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE ENGINE FAILURE BEFORE A PRECIOUS LIFE IS LOST. CHRYSLER, PLEASE IDENTIFY THE CAUSE AND NOTIFY THE OWNERS OF THE FIX SOONEST. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO CONTINUE NEGLECTING THESE SAFETY CLAIMS. I'M CERTAIN $$$ IS CAUSING YOUR HESITATION TO INVESTIGATE; HOWEVER, IT WILL SEEM LIKE PENNIES COMPARED WITH THE COST YOU WILL UNDOUBTEDLY PAY DUE TO NEGLIGENCE IN THE EVENT OF INJURY OR FATALITY. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR HEARING MY CONCERN, DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, IDENTIFYING THE SOLUTION, AND QUICKLY IMPLEMENTING YOUR PLAN TO REPAIR THE AFFE
THE TRACTION CONTROL AND ESP LIGHTS HAVE BEEN ON FOR MONTHS, DEALER STATES THAT THE PROBLEM IS THE CLOCKSPRING, BUT PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. SO CURRENTLY THE ESP AND TRACTION CONTROL, BOTH OF WHICH ARE SAFETY FEATURES ARE NOT FUNCTIONING AND I CAN NOT REPAIR CAUSE PART IS NOT READILY AVAILABLE, I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL TO COVER THIS SAFETY CONCERN.
WARNING LIGHTS ON THE IP INDICATE A FAILURE, ILLUMINATING "ESP/BAS" [ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM/BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM]. THREE DEALERS RAN THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND HAVE TOLD ME THERE IS A "CLOCKSPRING" FAILURE IN THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PRODUCT FAILURE SINCE I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA UNDER EXTREME BRAKING OR IN CASE OF A SKID ON A SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACE. CHRYSLER INITIALLY SAID THEY DO NOT HAVE THIS PART AVAILABLE. LATER, THEY CLAIMED I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET THE PART - IN JANUARY - THE FEBRUARY- NOW MARCH. STILL NO PART AVAILABLE. CHRYSLER MUST BE COMPELLED TO RECALL THE 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS - AND FIX THIS DANGEROUS DEFECT. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, SMOKE STARTED TO EMIT FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT MERGED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND LIFTED THE HOOD. ONCE THE VEHICLE COOLED OFF, IT RESUMED NORMAL OPERATION. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, BUT THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE DIAGNOSED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE OIL WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 140,000.
THE REVERSE CLUTCH BURNT OUT. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND WOULDN'T GO IN REVERSE. THE CAR IS IN LIMP MODE. THE RPMS ARE RANGING HIGH BECAUSE IT CAN'T SHIFT PROPERLY. THE TRANSMISSION IS ABOUT TO GO OUT COMPLETELY. *TR
CAR TURNS OFF WHILE RUNING AT SPEEDWAY. TWICE AT 4 MIN. THAT IS NOTHING NEW THIS HAPPENS EVERY DAY MOST TIMES AT THE FIRST 5/10 MIN. OF DRIVINGAT STREETS. BUT TODAY'S WAS AFTER 30 MIN . THERE IS WAY I WENT TO EXPRESS WAY. I ALREADY SPEND MONEY AND TO MUCH TIME AT MECHANICS THEY CANT FOUND WHATS WRONG. BUT AT INTERNER I FOUND THIS IS A COMMON ISSUES WHIT THIS TYPE OF CARS. *JS
2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO VEHICLE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE WAS AT THE DEALER FOR A MONTH, WITH NO REMEDY IN SIGHT. THE CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED. HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALLED. THE DEALER STATED THE CLOCKSPRING WAS REPLACED, BECAUSE THERE WAS A LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD. *JB
POWER STEERING FAILS COMPLETELY FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS OR MORE. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE TRAVELS THROUGH ANY WATER ON THE ROAD THAT MAY SPLASH INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE STEERING BELT GETS WET AND WILL SLIP (MAKING A SCREECHING NOISE UNTIL IT SPINS OFF THE WATER AND DRIES). THE POWER ASSISTED STEERING WILL STOP COMPLETELY NOT ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE POWER STEERING IS RESTORED. THIS PROBLEM WILL CAUSE THE DRIVER NOT TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE IN ANY DIRECTION TO COMPLETE A TURN OR AVOID A COLLISION! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING. WE ARE LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM. IT MAYBE THAT A SPLASH GUARD WAS LEFT OFF AND NOT REPLACE DURING A PREVIOUS SERVICE. THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED TO BE THE FIX. WE WILL UPDATE THIS POST ONCE THIS IS CONFIRMED TO BE THE FIX. *TR
THIS VEHICLE TENDS TO STALL AT OR BELOW 35 MPH. HAVE BEEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND CHRYSLER AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT STALLS. WHEN IT STALLS THERE IS A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR AND IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE ALONG WITH MY 3 CHILDREN. I HAVE SEEN NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ON THIS MATTER AND I AM QUITE SURPRISED THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH A SAFETY PROBLEM. WARNING LIGHTS ON THE IP INDICATE A FAILURE, ILLUMINATING ?ESP/BAS? [ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM/BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM]. I HAVE HAD THREE DEALERS RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND OTHER TESTS TELL ME THERE IS A ?CLOCKSPRING? FAILURE IN THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT PROVIDE REPAIR REPLACEMENT PARTS TO THE DEALER SO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM CAN BE CORRECTED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PRODUCT FAILURE SINCE I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA UNDER EXTREME BRAKING OR IN CASE OF A SKID ON A SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACE. SINCE CHRYSLER IS NOT WILLING TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY DEFECT, THEY MUST BE COMPELLED TO RECALL THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. *TR

THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHILE GOING UNDER 40 MPH, ALSO WHEN MAKING A TURN IT WILL STALL AND I HAVE NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING! IT IS VERY SCARY. I ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE!! I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S STALLING UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS AS MINE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OR SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS MY FAMILY CAR AND I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 3. I DO NOT WANT OR NEED A FATALITY WRECK TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING! I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE NOW AND IT IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE! *TR
ON SEPTEMBER 15TH I WAS TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL WHEN ALL OF MY IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ONCE I GOT BACK HOME AND TURNED THE CAR OFF I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS STILL RUNNING. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD I REALIZED IT WAS MY ABS SYSTEM THAT WANT SHUTTING OFF. I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE SENSOR BUT HAVE BEEN TOO FEARFUL TO DRIVE IT SINCE THEN. MY FATHER RAN A CODE CHECKER AND NOTHING WAS SHOWING UP EXCEPT THE FUEL CAP (WHICH WAS REPLACED BUT STILL SHOWING THAT WARNING LIGHT). HE DROVE THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING. *TR
I PURCHASED A VEHICLE END OF MAY 2014. VEHICLE HAS SINCE STARTED CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS REFERRED TO ONE OF THERE DEALERS IN OAKVILLE CONNECTICUT. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT HOME AND THE NEXT DAY THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK AND ITS BEEN THERE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FOUND PROBLEM. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I HAVE PURCHASED A VEHICLE FOR SAFE DRIVING AND I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND GETTING HURT. *TR
VEHICLE COULDN'T PASS EMISSIONS, HAD TO TAKE IT SHOP FOR SMALL EVAP LEAK. THIS SERVICE COST ME $900 TO FIX AND DURING SERVICE FUEL PUMP MODULE NEEDED REPLACING DO TO HOW CAR WAS MADE TO FIX LEAKAGE. THIS STILL DIDN'T TURN OFF LIGHTS IN DASHBOARD HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $50 FOR ESIM(LOOSE FUEL CAP) HAD ALREADY REPLACED FUEL CAP TWICE. *TR
WE WERE DRIVING. I ASKED MY HUSBAND TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. AS SOON AS HE PULLED THE WIPER STEM, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE CAR RESTARTED, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. WE PULLED OVER AGAIN AND OPENED THE HOOD. THE CAR WOULD RESTART, BUT NOW THE DASH CLUSTER WAS OUT ALONG WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. WE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WEIRDLY, THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON. THEY WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF, OVER AND OVER. WITHIN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES THE CAR WOULD START BUT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. FROM THERE THE ARMREST CONTROLS STOPPED FUNCTIONING, AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR JUST CHATTERED WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED. THEN IT WOULDN'T EVEN DO THAT. IT COMPLETELY DIED. FOUR WEEKS AND $1600 LATER, WE HAVE A NEW TIPM L. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS FRIED. *TR
WHEN DRIVING, OUR 07 PACIFICA WILL RANDOMLY LOSE POWER AND THERE WILL BE NO BRAKES AND NO STEERING. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN MOTION. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY AND ALSO AROUND TOWN. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN I AM APPROACHING A CORNER OR STOP LIGHT/ STOP SIGN AND SLOWING DOWN TO TURN OR TO STOP. ON THE FREEWAY, I WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN OR PREPARING TO STOP WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC LIGHT (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT) COME ON WHEN IT HAPPENS. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR CAR TO NON-CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS/AUTO SHOPS OVER THE SUMMER BECAUSE IT'S LESS EXPENSIVE TO SCAN. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES THIS SUMMER, AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. THIS IS A FRIGHTENING OCCURRENCE AND WE MAY HAVE TO TAKE IT IN TO OUR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ANYWAY. *TR
SHE JUST DOESN'T LIKE TO START ON OCCASION. THE DEALER DIAGNOSES WAS IT NEEDED A NEW STARTER, TOOK ALL OF THREE MINUTES. HAD A NEW STARTER PUT IN, SAME ISSUE. NEW RELAY AND NEW SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WITH NEW SWITCH INSTALLED. PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THEY SELL A "LOT" OF THESE. STILL NO RESOLUTION. SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO START ABOUT 2% OF THE TIME AND DOES SO AFTER RUNNING THE SHIFTER UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES. I AM WORRIED AS I HAVE ASTHMA AND NEED A WORKING CAR TO GET TO HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY WHEN ATTACK OCCURS. SO FAR BEEN LUCKY WITH TIMING OF NO STARTS. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR
WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR OUT OF MY GARAGE, I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF "PARK". I LATER LEARNED THAT A PART IN THE SHIFT LINKAGE ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN. IN FACT, THIS BROKEN PART, A LOCKOUT OVER-RIDE, HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER A RECALL OF ALL OTHER CHRYSLER AND DODGE PRODUCTS WHICH HAVE THIS PART INSTALLED. BUT FOR THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WHICH HAS THE IDENTICAL PART, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR AROUND, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE "PARK" POSITION OF THE SHIFT LEVER. IF I INADVERTENTLY PLACED THE SHIFT LEVER INTO "PARK", SAY AT A RAILROAD CROSSING, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR! THIS A DANGEROUS AND SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEM, AND I WANT NHTSA TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO RECALL MY CAR AND ALL OTHER PACIFICA'S WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND REPLACE THIS LOCKOUT OVERRIDE. *TR
I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA-FROM THE BEGINNING A POPPING AND CLICKING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSIONS/RESULTS FROM DEALERSHIP MOTOR MOUNTS WENT BAD REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS MY CAR IS JUST GO DEAD WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAYS/STREETS ETC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR OR SEE THE ISSUE. I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING WRONG AND THIS IS SCARY DRIVING THIS CAR. *JS
THE VEHICLE DIES--ESPECIALLY WHEN COASTING TOWARD A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, OR DOWN HILLS--USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, THOUGH SEVERAL TIMES AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH. THE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING CEASE. THE ONLY OPTION IS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR. GOING AROUND CORNERS AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAT 25 IS DIFFICULT, THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME THING; THEY CAN'T REALLY FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT HAVE CHARGED ME OVER $2500 THIS YEAR ALONE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS AS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON NEARLY A DAILY BASIS. AND TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SEEMS FUTILE. IS THIS PART OF THE RECALL? I'D HATE TO SEE MY WIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THE SAFETY SYSTEMS ON THE VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME--SUCH AS HAPPENED WITH THE GM PRODUCTS. UPDATED 3/3/2015 *JS
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD EITHER SHIFT UPWARD OR DOWNWARD INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND IT STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 97,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ENGAGING THE COAST BUTTON ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 70 MPH IN SECONDS. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.
I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO RESUME DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN IT CUT OFF. I HAD TO PULL OVER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IF A CAR HAD BEEN DRIVING BEHIND ME FAST, I COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIT IN THE BACK WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIC OR EVEN FATAL. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS TAKEN TO DIAGNOSED THE MAJOR PROBLEM AS THE 2 FUEL PUMPS NEEDED REPLACING; IN ADDITION TO OTHER ITEMS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 126,000 MILES. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PACIFICA (2006 AND 2008 MODELS AS WELL). CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT THAT THEIR FUEL PUMPS ARE FAULTY AND REPLACE THEM BEFORE A FATALITY HAPPENS AND, IN ADDITION TO REPLACING THE PUMPS, THEY ARE FACED WITH LAWSUITS. *TR
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IT WILL STALL. THIS OFTEN OCCURS AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 40MPH. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY DID NOT SEEM FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD VERY VELLUM RESULT IN A FATALITY SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING. THE CAR WILL LOOSE STEERING FUNCTION AFTER THE STALL AND I WILL NEED TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC TO RESTART THE CAR. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT RECALLED THIS OR ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS FAIRLY COMMON. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO STATED THAT THE TIPM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE AND THE EGR PRESSURE SENSOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.
WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, CAR LOST POWER AND STEERING BECAME VERY DIFFICULT. AFTER REACHING A STOP I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND WAS ABLE TO RESTART IT. THIS HAS NOW HAPPENED ON 5 SEPARATE OCCASIONS, WITH CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. DEALERSHIP SERVICE WAS NOT HELPFUL IN REMEDYING THIS PROBLEM. ADDITIONALLY, DESPITE RECALLS FOR THIS PROBLEM IN PREVIOUS YEARS, THERE IS NO APPARENT SOLUTION FOR THIS. THIS PROBLEM HAS OCCURRED BOTH IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD AND ON SURFACE STREETS, WHICH MAKE THIS A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AS THERE IS MINIMAL (IF ANY) OPPORTUNITY TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE LOCATION TO RE-START. I HAVE HAD REGULAR SERVICE TO THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN USED PRIMARILY FOR WORK AND ERRANDS. HOWEVER, THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES AND THIS LATEST ISSUE HAS COMPOUNDED THE PROBLEM. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE AND THE POWER TRAIN WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED TWO YEARS PRIOR UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TO BE INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80000.
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO VIBRATE AND FAILED TO SHIFT PROPERLY. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE VEHICLE WAS IN OPERATION. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.
WHEN WE EXIT THE HIGHWAY THE CARS STALLS AND SOMETIMES EVEN LUNGES. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO 2 DIFFERENT MECHANICS AND THEY SAY THERE ISN'T ANYTHING TO FIX. CHRYSLER EVEN SAID THERE ISN'T ANYTHING THEY CAN DO. I FEEL THIS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE BECAUSE WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME I'VE HAD MY GRANDSON WITH ME AND IT TOOK 4 TRIES TO GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN. ALSO WHEN DRIVING IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC THE TRAFFIC CAN STOP SUDDENLY WHICH WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER HAS FIXED THIS PROBLEM ON EARLIER YEARS OF THIS MODEL, I DON'T THINK THEY WANT TO BE BOTHERED WITH REPAIRING A KNOWN ISSUE ON A VEHICLE THEY NO LONGER MANUFACTURE. *TR
WHEN THE GAS GAUGE GOES DOWN TO A HALF A TANK THE GAGE GOES ALL THE WAY TO EMPTY. VERY ANNOYING BECAUSE I HAVE NO IDEA HOW MUCH GAS I REALLY HAVE. THEN WHEN I TRY TO FILL IT UP IT TAKE ABOUT 15 MINUTES TO GET $20.00 WORTH OF GAS IN THE TANK. IT WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 25 CENTS AT A TIME BEFORE THE GAS PUMP SHUTTS OFF AND I HAVE TO WAIT A COUPLE SECONDS FOR THE GAS TO GO DOWN THE FILLER TUBE. ALSO I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THEY SEEM TO KEEP BREAKING. THESE PROBLEMS SEEM TO BE ALL OVER THE INTERNET. MY PROBLEM IS NOT ISOLATED. *TR
SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED IN TWO MONTHS. DRIVING IN DRY, PLEASANT WEATHER CONDITIONS ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD LESS THAN 30 MPH. CAR STALLED--LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. OIL LIGHT DEFINITELY WAS ON. COASTED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED CAR OFF THEN ON. CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. OIL LIGHT WAS OFF NOW. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO SAID NO COMPUTER CODE WAS GENERATED, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS AN ABS CODE (WHICH APPEARED TO BE TOTALLY UNRELATED). ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY APPEARED CLEAN, BUT TOOK IT APART AND CHECKED IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION SIMILAR TO OTHER STALLING PROBLEMS I HAVE READ ABOUT ON 2004-06 PACIFICAS, AND THAT HAD LED TO A RECALL ON OLDER MODELS. CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL, BUT THEY HAVE NO RECORD ON THIS PROBLEM. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER DO ANYTHING ON THIS ONE? *TR
WHILE COMING TO A STOP IN A PARKING LOT THE TIRE VALVE STEM BLEW OFF, COMPLETELY DEFLATING THE TIRE. SIX WEEKS LATER THE SAME THING OCCURRED TO ANOTHER WHEEL. IT APPEARS THAT VALVE STEM CORRODED JUST BELOW THE CAP. THE PRESSURE INSIDE THE TIRE THEN BLEW OUT THE SCHROEDER VALVE RESULTING IN A QUICK DEFLATE OF THE TIRE. IF THIS HAD HAPPENED AT HIGHWAY SPEED IT COULD HAVE RESULTED IN LOSS OF STEERING AND POSSIBLE ACCIDENT OR PERSONAL INJURY. BOTH TIRE VALVE STEMS HAVE BEEN REPLACED, BUT NOW WONDERING IF THE REMAINING TWO NEED TO BE REPLACED. SUCH A DESIGN OF THIS PRODUCT IS A POTENTIAL FATAL ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 129,000.
WHILE DRIVING THE ELECTRICAL PANELS ARE FLUSHING MULTIPLE TIME SOME KIND OF WARNING NOISE SOUND AND THEN THE DASH LIGHT STAYS ON WITH ALL THE LIGHTS STIES ON AND THE ENGINE RUNS MORALLY, WE HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND RESTART IT AND AFTER A FEW MILES THE SAME REPEATS AGAIN AND AGAIN, THE DEALER DOSE NOT KNOW ABOUT IT AND THEY WANTS TO CHANGE MULTIPLE PART TO FIGURE TO FIX THE ISSUE, WHICH IS COSTLY AND EXPENSIVE TOO, AND PLUS WE HAVE TO FIND ANOTHER VEHICLE FOR THE DAILY NEED THAT TAKE KIDS TO SCHOOL AND DAILY GROCERY SHOPPING. IT IS SCARY AND SPECIALLY WHEN THE KIDS ARE IN THE VEHICLE. *TR
OUR 2007 PACIFICA CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS. ONE CHRYSLER DEALER STATED IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND GOOD TO GO. 2 DAYS LATER STUDS ON TIRE BROKE OFF. OTHER SIDE STUDS WERE LOOSE AND HAD TO BE TIGHTENED. WE TOOK VEHICLE TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER WHO INSPECTED VEHICLE AND HAD A LIST OF THINGS WRONG INCLUDING ,REAR AND FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS BEING BROKE. POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING, TRANSMISSION LINES LEAKING, REAR BRAKE PADS AND FRONT ROTORS NEED REPLACING AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT RIGHT CAMBER OFF IN FRONT AND REAR ALIGNMENT OFF AND RIGHT TOE IS OFF. THE FIRST DEALER STATED THEY DID A FRONT AND REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND LESS THAN3 WEEKS LATER THE ALIGNMENT IS THAT FAR OFF. SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND/OR FIRST CHRYSLER DEALER. ALL OF THIS AFTER GOING THROUGH 3 PLUS SETS OF SHOCKS AND 2 TIE ROD ENDS AND NOW ANOTHER WHEEL ALIGNMENT! VERY UNSAFE, VEHICLE WITH STILL UNDIAGNOSED REASON FOR ALL THIS. CHRYSLER INSISTS THE VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED. WE DO NOT TRUST THAT STATEMENT ANY LONGER. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE. WE BELIEVE SOMETHING IN THE SUSPENSION OR DESIGN IS CAUSING ALL OF THESE PARTS TO CONTINUE BREAKING, AND CONTINUOUS ALIGNMENT,TIRE, BRAKE PROBLEMS. NOW MOTOR MOUNTS AND POWER STEERING, AND TRANSMISSION LEAKS. WE DID NOT GET ANY VALUE FROM THIS CAR PURCHASE. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE CAR WE ARE STUCK WITH. WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED TWICE ALREADY BY TIRES ALMOST FALLING OF CAR. NOW WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT FIRES FROM LEAK
NHTSA publishes every complaint as the owner wrote it and investigates only a fraction. Spelling, capitalisation and judgement are the filer’s own. What carries weight is repetition: the same component failing the same way across many filings, and whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
