2007 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

WE OWNED A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA CAR FOR 3 MONTHS, 46000 MILES APPROX, WHEN PURCHASED. AFTER THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, THE REAR TIRES WENT COMPLETELY BALD , WIRES POKING OUT, THE CAR WAS BOTTOMING OUT ON EVERY BUMP. THE SPRINGS WERE WEAK WE WERE TOLD. THE SHOCKS WERE BROKEN, THE TIRES WERE COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE AND THE DEALER DID FIX AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. 2 NEW TIRES REPLACED , WHEEL ALIGNMENT, TWO NEW SHOCKS, AND SUPPOSEDLY SPRINGS FIXED. AT APPROX. 8 MONTHS LATER THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN BOTTOMING OUT. ONCE AGAIN WE WERE TOLD SHOCKS BROKEN. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND REPLACED SHOCKS, DEALER DID WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND A TIE ROD END WAS REPLACED. IN APPROXIMATELY 10 MONTHS WE AGAIN NOTICED THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE AND BOTTOMING OUT. ONCE AGAIN SHOCKS WERE BROKEN AND THE OTHER TIE ROD END NEEDED REPLACING. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WAS NOTIFIED FROM THE FIRST INCIDENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY AT EACH ADDITIONAL OCCURENCE. THE DEALER PAID AT THE FIRST OCCURENCE, CHRYSLER PROVIDED SHOCKS AT SECOND OCCURENCE, ON THE LAST OCCURENCE CHRYSLER REQUIRED AN INSPECTION BY A CHRYSLER DEALER. ANOTHER TIE ROD WAS REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD BY DEALER CAR WAS GOOD TO GO. WE TOOK TRIP TO PICK UP FAMILY AT AIRPORT AND HAD TO BE TOWED. UPON REINSPECTION 2 DAYS LATER, WE WERE TOLD 2 STUDS HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF LEFT REAR TIRE, AND TIRE COULD HAVE COME OFF ON FREEWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH. THEY ALSO DISCOVERED TWO LUGS ON RIGHT REAR TIRE WERE LOOSE. THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT WHERE OUR SAFETY WAS AT RISK.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED DIFFICULTY IN ACCELERATION AND DECELERATION POWER. THE VEHICLE WOULD RESPOND TO ACCELERATION ATTEMPTS WITH A DELAY. ADDITIONALLY, THE CHECK ENGINE, EPS AND BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *TR

AT 40,899 MILES (I PURCHASED THIS CAR NEW) I HAVE NOW HAD TO REPLACE THE THREE ENGINE MOUNTS TWICE (FIRST TIME AT 20,000 MILES - UNDER WARRANTY). I AM A MATURE DRIVER WHO DRIVES THIS CARE GENTLY. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ALMOST NEW (IT WAS NEVER TITLED - CHRYSLER HAS USED IT AS A CORPORATE CAR), WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE MOUNTS FOUR TIMES (THE FIRST TWO TIMES UNDER WARRANTY). ON THE LATEST INSTANCE, THE MOUNTS HAD BEEN ON THE CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MONTHS AND 28,000 MILES. THEY FAILED AND DAMAGED THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE, WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED, FOR A TOTAL COST OF ABOUT $2,500. *TR

THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT SHOWING CORRECTLY. IT READS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS HALF FULL THEN IT SUDDENLY DROPS TO EMPTY. THE MILES TO EMPTY GAUGE IS NOT CALCULATING CORRECTLY EITHER. YOU CAN NOT TELL HOW FAR YOU REALLY CAN GO BEFORE THE CAR WILL RUN OUT OF GAS. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE FUEL TANK, IT WILL NOT LET THE FUEL FLOW INTO THE FUEL TANK. IT STOPS AS IF IT IS FULL, BUT IT IS NOT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, A LOUD NOISE WAS HEARD FROM OUTSIDE THE VEHICLE AS THE STEERING WHEEL BEGAN TO VIBRATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER. THERE WERE NUMEROUS PARTS REPLACED ON THE VEHICLE OVER A PERIOD OF TIME INCLUDING TWO TIE ROD ENDS, FOUR SHOCKS AND A WHEEL ALIGNMENT WAS PERFORMED WITH EACH REPAIR. MOST RECENT LY, THE LUG NUT STUDS WERE REPLACED DUE TO THE SUSPENSION DEFECT. THE CONTACT WAS UNCERTAIN OF THE LOCATION OF THE PARTS THAT WERE REPLACED FOR ANY OF THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 81,000.

THE FUEL PUMPS IN THE GAS TANKS STOP WORKING. THEY WONT PUMP FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER. MY GAS GAGE SHOES FULL THEN WHEN IT GET A LITTLE BELOW HALF IM OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE PUMPS ARE NOT PUMPING GAS FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER SIDE. I HAD NEW PUMPS PUT IN 2,000 MILES AGO AND THE WENT OUT ALREADY. CHRYSLER NEED TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WE AS CHRYSLER OWNERS CANT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS ALL THE TIME. I KNOW FOR A FACT THERE IS A CHRYSLER DEALER THAT SAID HE HAS THEM COMING IN LIKE A REVOLVING DOOR. I CANT TRUST THE CAR TO GO ON LONG TRIPS. I LOVE THE CAR OTHER THAN THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS. I HOPE SOMETHING GET DONE. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER BUT GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED/STALLED. STEERING, BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR FULLY STOPPED. SCARY AND FEELS SO HELPLESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! *TR

THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED ON MY 07' CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS IN 2009. THERE WAS AN AWFUL ALMOST SLAMMING TYPE NOISE AND THE VEHICLE "JUMPED" WHEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME AND THEY SAID THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE CRACKED AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THEM, BUT COULDN'T GUARANTEE HOW LONG THEY WOULD LAST. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS "AN ISSUE" ON THE PACIFICA MODEL AS IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM OFTEN. SINCE THE FIRST TIME THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE FOUND TO BE CRACKED IN 2009, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS 2 MORE TIME AND NOW THEY ARE BROKE AGAIN; TOTALING 4 TIMES IN 7 YEARS!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE! I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER QUITE A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST 4 YEARS AND GOT NOWHERE! THEY COULD NOT CARE LESS THAT THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR THEIR "DESIGN FLAW"! IF I HAD KNOWN THAT I WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM KEEP REPEATING, I 100% WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE! AND IF I HAD KNOWN THAT CHRYSLER WOULD GIVE ME AN AROUSING "OH WELL, TOO BAD FOR YOU", I 110% WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT FROM THIS COMPANY! HOW SAD THAT EVEN AFTER ALL THE MONEY THEY HAVE MADE OFF PEOPLE BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP! INEXCUSABLY DISGUSTING!! *TR

MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM. POWERSTEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE. NOW IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING DAILY. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LEAK AND ON ONE OCCASION SMELL OF BURNING FROM THE ENGINE. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS AND I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED! ALSO CAR SHUTS OF WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS!!! *TR

AFTER MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FUEL GAUGE GETS BELOW 1/2 TANK, THE GAUGE STARTS DROPPING AT AN ALARMING RATE. IF I DRIVE 1 MILE IT REACTS INDICATING AS MUCH AS A 10 MILE DROP. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT THE GAS GAUGE JUMPS AROUND BETWEEN 2 AND 3 MILES DIFFERENCES. I DO NOT GET A FULL 20 GALLON DRIVE FROM MY VEHICLE. I CAN FILL UP THE CAR BUT ONCE THE GAUGE INDICATES IT'S EMPTY THE CAR WILL NOT START. I LOGGED IT AS ONLY SHOWING 320 MILES AND GOING EMPTY, WHEN FULL THE GAUGE INDICATES 400 MILES. THIS READING IS CHANGING NOW ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS MOSTLY IT HAPPENS WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT THEY JUST SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE 2 FUEL PUMPS FOR $900 BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT HAVE THE PUMPS CHANGED. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF LOSS OF POWER ASSIST STEERING IS LOST AND POWER ASSIST BRAKES MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO NAVIGATE TO A STOP TO RESTART IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE SURGED WITH HESITATION IN A JERKING MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNT WAS REPLACED EACH TIME. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,201.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE METER DISPLAYED AN ERRONEOUS FUEL LEVEL READING. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE METER SHOWED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL AND AFTER DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MILES THE GAUGE INDICATED THE FUEL TANK WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE DEFECT WAS NOT REMEDIED. THE CONTACT WAS NOT SURE OF THE EXACT REPAIRS MADE TO THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 101,000.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AT APPROXIMATELY 25 MILES PER HOUR AND LOST THE ABILITY TO ACCELERATE. THE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT CAME ON. I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT A MILE, AND THEN BEHAVED THE SAME WAY. I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PERFORM SERVICE INDICATOR WAS DISPLAYED, THE ONLY SUGGESTION WAS TO FIX MOTOR MOUNTS. THE BATTERY DIED ON ME A WEEK LATER, AND NOW THE CAR IS LOSING POWER WHILE I'M IN TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE IS TURNING INTO A MONEY PIT. *TR

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WORD 'GASCAP' APPEARED IN PLACE OF THE CAR'S MILEAGE. I READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS TO RESET THE MESSAGE AFTER TIGHTENING GAS CAP. IT HAD NO EFFECT. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD THEM RUN A FREE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN WHICH RETURNED THE DIAGNOSIS OF: EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK. I INSTALLED A NEW GAS CAP AND FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS TO RESET MESSAGE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND 'GASCAP' MESSAGE REMAIN. *TR

I TOOK MY 2007 CHRYSLER IN BECAUSE OF FUEL GAUGE NOT READING PROPERLY, DEALER SAID I HAD BAD FUEL PUMPS, CHANGED PUMPS AND SEALS APPROXIMATELY $1100 GAUGE STILL NOT WORKING DEALER CLAIMS BAD MODULE PAID $350.00 GAUGE STILL NOT WORKING, DEALER SAID IT COULD BE BATTERY CABLE CHANGED THAT STILL NOT WORKING, DEALER SAID IT HAVE A BAD FUEL TANK, CHANGED TANK FUEL GAUGE STILL ERRATIC, NOW CAR CUTS OFF FOR NO REASON, YOU CANNOT PUT GAS IN THE CAR WITHOUT THE CAR ACTING AS IF IT IS FULL, FUEL GAUGE STILL DOES NOT WORK AND CAR DISPLAYING MORE ISSUES NOW THAN I STARTED WITH AND I HAVE HAD THE MOTOR MOUNTS AT LEAST 5 TIMES SINCE I HAD THE CAR. DEALER EVEN SAID FUEL GAUGES SOMETIMES JUMP AROUND.I FEEL LIKE I HAVE BEEN TAKEN TOTAL ADVANTAGE OF, IT APPEARS I HAVE BEEN SOLD A DEFECTIVE CAR AND NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. LOOK AT THE HUNDREDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND CHRYSLER DOES NOTHING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STOPPED ACCELERATING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

VEHICLE IS PARKED IN THE GARAGE AND UNABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE TO BACK OUT. AFTER GOOGLING THE PROBLEM ,IT SEEMS THAT MANY OWNERS HAVE HAD THIS ISSUE AND DISCUSSING WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE THEIR ANSWER WAS TO ENGAGE THE PINK PLASTIC BUTTON INSIDE SHIFTER CONSOLE WHICH I'M AFRAID DID NOT WORK FOR ME. I'VE SINCE RELEASED THE CABLE INSIDE THE HOOD TO FREE UP THE SHIFTER AND NOW IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIR. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE AND MADE CORRECTIONS FOR THE 05-07 300'S &CHARGERS BUT NEGLECTED THE PACIFICAS,FOR WHAT REASON I DON'T KNOW. *TR

WHEN CORNERING AT LOW SPEEDS THERE IS A LOUD RUBBING NOISE (LIKE A TIRE RUBBING IN THE WHEEL WELL) COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I CAN FEEL IT BOTH IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES, I HAD THE MECHANIC CHECK THE WHEEL WELLS FOR RUB MARKS AND HE DID NOT FIND ANY. HE STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT RUBBING ANYWHERE. *TR

POWER DOOR LOCKS UNEXPECTEDLY UNLOCKED WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH. *TR

WHEN I STARTED THE CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE WORD 'GASCAP' APPEARED IN PLACE OF THE CAR'S MILEAGE. I READ THE OWNER'S MANUAL AND FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS TO RESET THE MESSAGE AFTER TIGHTENING GAS CAP. IT HAD NO EFFECT. I WENT TO AUTOZONE AND HAD THEM RUN A FREE DIAGNOSTIC SCAN WHICH RETURNED THE DIAGNOSIS OF: EVAPORATIVE EMISSION SYSTEM LEAK. I INSTALLED A NEW GAS CAP AND FOLLOWED DIRECTIONS TO RESET MESSAGE. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND 'GASCAP' MESSAGE REMAIN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THAT THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE CLEANED ALONG WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SPARK PLUGS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS WHILE TURNING LEFT AND ALWAYS UNDER THE SPEED OF 45 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS WHO HAVE FIXED DIFFERENT THINGS THEY FEEL IS CAUSING THE STALLING AND NOTHING IS WORKING. I HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVE IT THEY CANT DIAGNOSE IT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE CARS BEHIND ME HAVE NO WARNING THE CAR IS SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND THEY WOULD "HELP" ME FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. SO I DID AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND GAVE ME NEW SPARK PLUGS. CHRYSLER WAS GOING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND I FOUGHT THEM ON IT AND THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND I PAID LABOR AND THE CAR IS STILL STALLING. I HAVE READ ONLINE HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THEIR PACIFICA STALLING AND DOING THE SAME THING MINE IS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2005/2006 VEHICLES FOR THE SAME THING BUT NOT FOR THE 07 MODEL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER CAN IGNORE THIS PROBLEM WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. I AM IN FEAR OF MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR I CAN GUARANTEE I WILL GET HIT EVENTUALLY AND I WANT IT ON RECORD THAT I TRIED EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITH NO LUCK. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I CAN ONLY PUT LESS THAN 2 GALLONS OF GASOLINE IN MAY CAR AT A TIME. GAS SPLASHES OUT WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN AS IF IT IS FULL. FUEL GAUGE NOT READING ACCURATE AS IT DROPS DOWN TO "E" AFTER IT REACHES 1/2 TANK. ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED TO REPLACE MY RIGHT SIDE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL GAUGE SENDER. AFTER REPLACING BOTH PARTS THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS UNABLE TO GET A DEFINITE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM, SO I PAID THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. *TR

FIRST WEEK IN JUNE I SENT MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO ATHENS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN BOGART GA. THE STEERING WAS LOCKING UP ON MY WIFE. I FIGURED IT WAS MAYBE THE POWER STEERING. THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE AGAIN BROKEN AND THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT ONE FOR THE THIRD TIME. I READ IN SOCIAL CAR CHAT ROOMS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE FAILING IN JUST ABOUT ALL THESE TYPE CARS, AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE COSTS. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT NO ONE WILL BUY OR AT LEAST I WOULDN'T BECAUSE IT CAN'T HOLD ITS OWN ENGINE. I KNOW THIS IS A CONSUMER CONCERN JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE STEERING LOCKING UP WITH MY FAMILY ON BOARD. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAK UNLESS THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW THAT THEY ARE DUMPING ON US CONSUMERS. I MEAN IF THEY TOLD ME THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE GOING TO BE A MAINTENANCE ISSUE I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, AND NOW MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO TO FIND SOME KIND OF HELP WITH THIS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. WHERE ELSE CAN I COMPLAIN AND STEER OTHERS TO. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WITH NO WARNING, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS ( 20 - 45 MPH) CAR IS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL AFTER IT SLOWS TO LESS THAN 5MPH, NO ENGINE LIGHTS ON PRIOR OR POST STALLING. MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED AND NEW BATTERY, DEALER UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND NO CODES ON COMPUTER. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER, A SMALL PLASTIC PART WITHIN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY OF CERTAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES OF THE CHRYSLER MARQUEE HAS A HOOK TO WHICH A SPRING IS ATTACHED. WHEN THE HOOK BREAKS, THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE MOVED BECAUSE THE SHIFTER LEVER WILL BECOME LOCKED IN THE "PARK" POSITION. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION, IN AN AGREEMENT WITH NHTSA (AS I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE) VOLUNTARILY RECALLED SEVERAL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS WHICH SHARED THIS PART, UNDER THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39". THOSE VEHICLES, CHRYSLER 300, DODGE MAGNUM AND CHARGER (2005-2007), PROBABLY MANY THOUSANDS, WERE ALL REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS. YOU MUST BE AWARE THAT THIS IDENTICAL PART, INTERCHANGEABLE WITH THE ABOVE-MENTIONED VEHICLES, IS INSTALLED IN CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES. BUT THE "VOLUNTARY" RECALL EXCLUDED ANY PACIFICA VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PACIFICA VEHICLES, INCLUDING MY OWN, FOR WHICH THIS PART HAS BROKEN. A SHORT INVESTIGATION ON THE WEB WILL DOCUMENT MY ASSERTION. THIS PROBLEM CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME, AND, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES COULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY-RELATED ISSUE. I CANNOT CURRENTLY PLACE MY VEHICLE INTO THE "PARK" POSITION FOR FEAR THAT I WILL BE REQUIRED TO TOW OR DISASSEMBLE THE CAR TO MOVE IT. THIS IS AN INTOLERABLE SITUATION, AND I DEMAND YOUR EFFORT TO ADD CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES TO THIS RECALL. *TR

2007 PACIFICA 4L ENGINE TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. ALSO SHIFTS ROUGH INTO 2ND GEAR. DEALER RECOMMENDS MOTOR MOUNTS BE REPLACED FOR ROUGH TRANSMISSION. NO SOLUTION OFFERED FOR STALLING OTHER THAN TO REPLACE BATTERY THAT IS NOT DEFECTIVE. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME WITH ESP/BAS LIGHT ON ALL THE TIME. NO SOLUTIONS OFFERED TO ACTUALLY FIX PROBLEMS, JUST COST MONEY. CAR LOSING POWER IS SAFETY CONCERN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE FAILURE RECURRED WHENEVER THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED A TURN OF WHEN DECELERATING. THE FAILURE WAS EXPERIENCED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC AND THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED HOWEVER, THE DIAGNOSTICS WAS UNABLE TO GENERATE A FAILURE CODE. AS A PRECAUTION, THE DEALER CLEANED THE GROUND CABLE BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,000 AND THE APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 89,000. UPDATED 6/4/13 *CN

AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES, WHILE A COMPUTER-RELATED RECALL REPAIR WAS BEING PERFORMED, I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT MOTOR MOUNTS WERE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM & TO KEEP A WATCH ON IT. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ODD COMMENT AT THE TIME, AS THE CAR WAS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD (AND, OF COURSE, OUT OF WARRANTY). FAST FORWARD TO APPROXIMATELY 70,000-75,000 MILES, AND WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE WHEN I AM SLOWING TO A STOP, AND THEN RE-ACCELERATE (FOR INSTANCE, THE LIGHT CHANGED GREEN RIGHT AS I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP, SO I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE & THEN ACCELERATE INSTEAD) - THE CAR WON'T MOVE RIGHT AWAY, AND THEN IT SUDDENLY "CLUNKS" INTO GEAR & LURCHES FORWARD. THE FORCE IS SO STRONG THAT I HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED SOMEONE ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING THE ISSUE - HAVE BEEN TOLD IT ISN'T COVERED AS MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THOUGHT CHRYSLER WOULD CERTAINLY ISSUE A RECALL, DUE TO THE SHEER VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE - BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT. I FINALLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO BE REPAIRED - I WAS TOLD FOUR MOUNTS ARE BAD! I DRIVE ALMOST ALL FREEWAY MILES IN SUBURBAN AREA - NO GRAVEL ROADS, ETC. - THIS SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING. I AM STILL HOPING FOR A RECALL AS THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I FEEL WHOEVER SUPPLIED THESE BAD PARTS SHOULD HAVE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PREMATURE FAILURE. *TR

NOW AT APPROX 74000 MI 2 MORE ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE FAILED THE BILL THIS TIME WILL BE $723. WE DO NOT DRIVE AGGRESSIVELY OR ABUSE THIS VEHICLE, AFTER AN ONLINE SEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA LINE OF CARS. WITH THE ENGINE SHIFTING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IT WILL BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A FUEL LINE, BRAKE LINE OR OTHER VITAL LINE OR HOSE WILL BE COMPROMISED CAUSING A FIRE OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AND THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED AND THOSE WHO ALREADY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART REIMBURSED.
