2007 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN MAY 2007. STARTING IN JANUARY 2008 I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR...SHUTTERING, IDLE PROBLEMS. IN MARCH 2008 I HAD TO HAVE A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER PUT IN THE CAR. NOW, AUGUST, 2008 AND 8000 MILES LATER I GOT IN THE CAR ONE MORNING AND IT WAS MAKING A HORRIFIC SQUEALING NOISE AND COME TO FIND OUT AGAIN I HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND NEED ANOTHER TORQUE CONVERTER PLUS A TRANSMISSION PUMP. APPARENTLY THE PUMP IS ON BACKORDER AND I AM 1 OF 3 PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES ON A WAITING LIST WAITING FOR ONE. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 3 WEEKS NOW BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC HAS NO IDEA WHEN THE PART MAY COME IN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS IN MY OPINION. AN ALMOST BRAND NEW CAR WITH THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS. THE CRAZIEST THING IS THAT AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS LAST YEAR, I FIND OUT THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T EVEN PUT A TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK UNDER THE HOOD. YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER TO HAVE IT WORKED ON OR CHECKED. THAT IS JUST WRONG. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF LEMON LAW OR WHAT ON THIS BECAUSE I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT I AM ONE OF MANY WHO HAS HAD THESE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. PLEASE ADVISE ME IF I HAVE ANY RIGHTS IN THIS MATTER. *TR

I PURCHASED MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON 06-05-07, WITHIN THREE DAYS I NOTICED THAT EVERYTIME I LOCKED THE CAR AND OPEN IT, THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND BOTH SIDE MIRRORS WOULD ADJUST THEMSELVES ON THEIR OWN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND EVENTUAL DISCONNECTED THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLLED THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS DID NOT WORK. ON JULY 13, 2007, WHILE AT WORK, I WAS DOING HOME VISITS. I WAS RUNNING BEHIND AND FORGOT TO READJUST THE MIRRORS WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR. WHILE BACKING UP I HIT A MAIL BOX CAUSING $1,000.00 DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND INFORMED THEM OF THE ACCIDENT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER AS THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TO DATE I AM STILL WAITING TO HEAR FROM SOMEONE. IF FEBRUARY OF THIS YEAR, I ASKED THAT THE PROBLEM BE FIXED, TO GIVE ME A RENTAL OR ANOTHER CAR AS I WAS HAVING KNEE SURGERY IN MARCH, NOTHING WAS DONE AND NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE AS YET. *TR

MY 2007 FWD PACIFICA HAS BEEN TO THE SERVICE CENTER 4 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT (APRIL 2008) - FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY "CLUNKY" AND SHUDDERS IN & OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. AT THE 3RD SHOP VISIT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED & COMPUTER REFLASHED - PROBLEM CAME BACK IN ABOUT 300 MILES. LAST VISIT - REFLASH AGAIN - DEALER CALLED CHRYSLER & WAS TOLD THAT THEY (CHRYSLER) IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING AT THIS POINT IN TIME. THE CAR IS STILL SHIFTING HORRIBLE - MUCH WORSE IF I USE THE AC, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE FAN COMES ON & WON'T SHUT BACK OFF (UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING), AND NOW WHILE I AM AT RED LIGHTS, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO STALL & SHAKES VERY BAD (THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I ACTUALLY THOUGHT SOMEONE REAR-ENDED ME - THAT'S HOW BAD IT SHAKES!) I TALKED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT ABOUT RETURNING IT - BUT THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME CLOSE TO WHAT I PAID FOR IT. *TR

WATER LEAK, RUST ON ALL METAL PARTS OF SEAT, CARPETS SOAKED AND MOLDY. 1ST REPAIR-CARPETS REPLACED, WATER LEAKED ATTEMPTED TO BE FIXED, RUST PAINTED OVER. 2ND REPAIR-LEAK FIXED, CARPETS ONLY CLEANED NOT REPLACED. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAD LOOSE MOTOR MOUNTS CAUSING TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS. SERVICE MANAGER SAID VEHICLE COULD BE DRIVEN UNTIL NEW MOTOR MOUNTS COULD BE FOUND TO MAKE REPAIR. RIVING VEHICLE OUT OF TOWN THE MOTOR MOUNT SNAPPED AND THE ENGINE VIBRATION CAUSED THE RADIATOR HOSE TO BREAK AND IMMEDIATE TOTAL LOSS OF ENGINE COOLANT. VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED TO NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALER AND IS NOW AWAITING FOR THIS DEALER TO LOCATE NEW MOTOR MOUNTS. HAD I BEEN IN A REMOTE LOCATION A EMERGENCY WOULD HAVE EXISTED. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS VEHICLE AND INSPECT ALL MOTOR MOUNTS. *TR

CAR JERKS FORWARD OR BACKWARD WHEN MOVING CAR INTO GEAR. *TR

2007 PACIFICA TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN LUGGING DOWN,MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN CAR IS IN 4TH GEAR AT 1800-2500 RPM. ALSO HAVE VERY HARSH SHIFT WHEN GOING INTO AND OUT OF 2ND GEAR. AFTER TWO COMPLAINTS AND TEST DRIVE WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND ALSO THAT THE TSP'S OUT DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE VIN. THE SERVICE MANAGER SENT MY COMPLAINTS TO CHRYSLER AND THEY DIRECTED LOCAL DEALER TO REPROGRAM TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE TORQUE CONVERTER. DUE TO NUMBER OF SAME COMPLAINTS CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE INITIATIVE AND HAVE RECALL INSTEAD OF MAKING EACH INDIVIDUAL OWNER GO THROUGH THIS NONSENSE. *TR

I HAVE INFORMED CHYRSLER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM - REGARDING THE TRANSMISSION ON MY 2007 PACIFICA BUT THEY TELL ME THIS IS NORMAL. *TR

THE A/C CONDENSER ON THE 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IS UNPROTECTED UNLIKE IN ANY VEHICLE I HAVE EVER SEEN. THE OPEN GRILLE IS 12 INCHES HIGH BY 30 INCHES WIDE AND ALLOWS ROCKS AND OTHER ROAD HAZARDS UP TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER TO PASS THROUGH THE GRILL TO THE CONDENSER. THIS IS A MAJOR DESIGN FLAW FOR WHICH CHRYSLER WILL NOT ACCEPT RESPONSIBILITY BUT SEEMS ALL TOO GLAD TO ACCEPT CASH INTO THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT TO FIX THOSE OF US WHO HAVE ALREADY EXPERIENCED DAMAGE. IT IS MY BELIEF CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DESIGN FLAW, REPAY CONSUMERS WHO HAVE ALREADY BEEN FORCED TO PAY THE $600 REPAIR BILL FOR ROAD HAZARDS WHICH DAMAGE THE CONDENSER AND OR RADIATOR, AND ALSO BE FORCED TO PROVIDE INSTALLATION OF METAL MESH ON THE INSIDE OF THE GRILL TO PROTECT OTHER CONSUMERS FROM SUCH AN OUTRAGEOUS REPAIR BILL FOR A NEW VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH, THE ENGINE REVS, THE VEHICLE WILL NOT ACCELERATE, AND THE GEARS WILL NOT SHIFT. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALER SEVEN TIMES. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 3,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200.

PURCHASED NEW 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AT APPROX. 1,000 MILES DRIVEN SHUDDERING OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY BUT FREQUENTLY. RETURNED TO DEALER IN EARLY OCT. 2007. SAID COULD NOT DUPLICATE. PROBLEM STILL OCCURRED. RETURNED TO DEALER AGAIN A FEW DAYS LATER. TOLD WE HAD DEFECTIVE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND REPLACED IN NOV.2007. SHORTLY AFTER REPLACEMENT SHUDDERING RETURNED. AGAIN INTERMITTENT. USUALLY OCCURS BETWEEN 20-40 MPH AND OFTEN TIMES ON INCLINES. (SIMILIAR TO DRIVING OVER RUMBLE STRIPS) CONTINUED REPORTING THE PROBLEM AND RETURNING TO DEALER. OVER 6 TIMES NOW AS OF JAN.2008. EACH TIME THEIR RESPONSE IS THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. OTHER ISSUES SUCH AS DRIVER'S SIDE SPEAKER NOT WORKING RIGHT, NOW IT'S ON THE 3RD ATTEMPT TO FIX. RECENTLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE MIRROR WAS STUCK IN PLACE AND CONTROLS WOULDN'T MOVE IT. THAT WAS FIXED. LEFT BLINKER STAYS ON INTERMITTENTLY. WHEN BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTENTION, THEY CLAIM THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM. CONTACTED CHRYSLER 2X IN JANUARY ESP. REGARDING TORQUE CONVERTER PROBLEM. DURING THE COURSE OF ALL THIS WE BECAME AWARE OF NUMEROUS OTHERS WHO HAVE SAME PROBLEM. ALSO READ TSB'S ISSUED PRIOR TO AND AFTER PURCHASE OF OUR VEHICLE. ONE STATES PROBLEM CANNOT BE DUPLICATED. YET, CHRYSLER'S RESPONSE IS THAT IF IT CANNOT BE DUPLICATED BRING IT TO ANOTHER DEALER! I TOLD THEM AT THIS POINT AND THE INFO. I GATHERED I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS A DEALER PROBLEM, THEY HAVE A FAULTY PRODUCT.. I HAVE 3 YOUNG CHILDREN AND PURCHASED A VEHICLE

I PURCHASED 2007 PACIFICA IN FEB 07, WITHIN 2 MONTHS HAD BEEN BACK TO DEALER TWICE FOR KNOCKING WHILE DRIVING AND VEHICLE FEELING LIKE IT WANTED TO STALL, ALSO FOR EXTREMELY "ROUGH RIDE" WHEN TRAVELING OVER THE SMALLEST OF BUMPS IN ROAD. DEALER SERVICED VEHICLE TWICE, ONCE REPLACING TORQUE CONVERTER AND ONCE REPLACING MOTOR MOUNTS. THE PROBLEMS CONTINUE, ALTHOUGH LESS THAN BEFORE. *TR

I WAS IN A REAR END COLLISION WITH MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I WAS HIT FROM BEHIND BY A CAR THAT WAS TRAVELING 50 MPH AND SHOVED INTO THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. MY AIR BAG DID NOT GO OFF AND MY DRIVERS SEAT BROKE UPON MY BEING THRUST BACK AFTER INITIAL FORWARD THRUSTING CAUSING MY LEGS TO GO UP UNDER THE DASH CAUSING INJURY TO MY LEGS AND A TORN DISC IN MY BACK FROM THE SEAT BREAKING. *TR

AFTER THE CAR WAS A MONTH OLD A THUMPING STARTED UNDERNEATH UPON STARTING. AT TIMES THE THUMPING (SHUDDERING) IS SEVERE AND THE ENGINE DOES NOT START. AFTER THE TRANSMISSION WAS REPROGRAMMED (I DOUBT IT WAS REALLY DONE AS THERE IS NO STICKER UNDERTHE HOOD AS REQUIRED) THE CAR, SOMETIMES, LURCHES LIKE A NEW DRIVER WITH STANDARD SHIFT. THE CAR, SOMETIMES AT AROUND 32MPH, SURGES OR PULSES. THE CLIMATE CONTROL HAS NOT WORKED ACCORDING TO THE INSTRUCTIONS IN THE MANUAL SINCE DAY ONE. NOW IN COLDWEATHER, WHEN IT IS DIRECTED TO THE FLOOR, SO MUCH HEAT COMES FROM THE DEFROSTER THAT I GET A HEADACHE AND THE FLOOR IS FREEZING. THERE IS A CLUNKING IN THE RIGHT FRONT ON NEARLY ANY ROAD SURFACE. I DO NOT FEEL THAT IT IS A BALL JOINT, BUT RATHER A STRUT. I SCHEDULED AN ARBITRATION, BUT NCDS DID NOT BOTHERTO LET ME KNOW IF THE ARBITRATOR COULD MAKE THE MEETING, SO I DID NOT ATTEND. THE MEETING PROCEEDED WITHOUT ME AND THE ARBITRATOR AND CHRYSLER SEEM TO FEEL THAT EVERYTHING MY CAR DOES IS NORMAL. I HAVE BEEN IN THE AUTO REPAIR BUSINESS FOR 40 YEARS AND HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO THAN MAKE UP PROBLEMS.*CN

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR TRANSMISSION ISSUES, EVER TIME I WOULD CHANGE MY GEARS THE SUV WOULD JERK. I TOOK IT IN, AND THEY SAID I HAD A BROKEN FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUND. SO THEY REPLACED THE FRONT, AND ORDERS A REAR. AFTER LEAVING THE THAT DAY MY ESP/BASS LIGHT CAME ON AND MY POWER LIGHT CAN MY CAR REAR TIRES WERE LOCKING. I CALLED THEM THE NEXT DAY AND TOOK IT IN 2 DAYS LATER DUE TO BEING BOOKED, AND THEY FIX THE REAR MOUND, BUT SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ESP/BASS LIGHT AND THE OTHER LIGHTS. MY TRANSMISSION IS STILL JERKING WHEN DRIVING. SO I TOOK IT TO THEIR OTHER DEALERSHIP, I TOLD HER MY ENGINE LIGHT CAM ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF NOW. MY CAR SEEM TO WANT TO DIE. I GOT SCARED, AND STOPPED WAITED 30MINS THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, AND LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. SO NOW MY TRANSMISSIONS JERKS, THEY SAID THEY FIXED MY MOTOR MOUNDS AND THAT WOULD FIX IT, BUT DIDN'T. MY BRAKES ARE NOW KNOCKING, AND THEY SAID IT WILL DO THAT BECAUSE THE CAR NOTICES WATER ON ROAD SO THEY KNOCK. LOL THAT FULL OF IT. YESTERDAY THERE WAS NO RAIN, AND THEY WERE KNOCKING WHEN I WOULD BRAKE. VERY SCARY. MY CAR SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE WHEN I TAKE OFF. THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG. WHEN I HIT A BUMP, THE FRONT END SOUND LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING LOOSE . FEELS LIKE MY ENGINE IS JUST SITTING THERE. ONE OF THE TECH TOLD ME WHEN I WENT IN THE LAST TIME WHICH WAS 12-17-07 THE HAD A RECALL ON MOTOR MOUNDS DUE TO MY ENGINE BEING SO POWERFUL IT BRAKES THE ONES ON THERE DUE TO USING SAME 06 MODELS MOUNDS. SO

TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS AT 1800 RPM, CHRYSLER SAYS THERE WORKING ON A TSB TO CORRECT PROBLEM BUT IN "MIGHT" NOT BE OUT FOR SEVERAL MONTHS. *TR

WE WERE GETTING ONTO THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR LOST POWER AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEPT FLASHING. THEN WE REGAINED POWER A MINUTE OR TWO LATER. *TR

CHRYSLER PACIFICA EXPERIENCED A POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK THAT DUE TO THE LOCATION OF THE LEAK IGNITED THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT ON FIRE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOTALED AND SIGNIFICANT PROPERTY DAMAGE WAS DONE. THREE VEHICLE OCCUPANTS WERE ABLE TO ESCAPE WITHOUT BODILY INJURY BUT WERE FRIGHTENED BY THE INCIDENT. CHRYLSER HAS NOT CONTACTED ME WITH ANY RESOLUTION. THEY REPLACED THE VEHICLE WITH ANOTHER BUT HAVE NOT CLARIFIED WHAT REMEDY IF ANY IS NECESSARY ON ALL OTHER PACIFICAS. *TR

DUE TO SURROUNDING HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SPEED AND CONDITIONS, FORCED TO HIT A LARGE BREED DOG IN ROADWAY, DOG RAN OFF, VEHICLE SHUT DOWN, DEAD VEHICLE "COASTED/STEERED" OFF ROADWAY TO SHOULDER, TOWED TO DEALER, "WIRING CONNECTOR AT PCM CAME APART," NO SIGNIFICANT VEHICLE BODY DAMAGE. CONCERNED ABOUT SUBSEQUENT WIRING VULNERABILITY REGARDING ROADWAY DEBRIS AND VEHICLE SHUTTING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. *JB

TRIED TO STOP AT A RED LIGHT FROM 45 MPH. CAR SLOWED TO ABOUT 5 MPH BUT WOULD NOT STOP. REAPPLIED BRAKES, ENGINE ACCELERATED (FOOT NOT ON ACCELERATOR) PULLED OUT OF GEAR, INTO NEUTRAL, ENGINE WENT INTO SCREAMING ACCELERATION RE-ENGAGED IN "DRIVE", ENGINE CALMED DOWN. EPISODE REPEATED LATER THAT SAME NIGHT. CAR RETURNED NEXT DAY WHEN RENTAL OFFICE WAS OPEN. *TR

SHUDDER AT IDLE AND HARSH TRANSMISSION ENGAGEMENT AND OR CLUNK WHEN SHIFTING OUT OF REVERSE. *TR

WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 3 INCIDENTS OF STALLING IN A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING. AUTO STALLS SHORTLY AFTER STARTING CAR. UNABLE TO RESTART CAR. AUTO HAS BEEN TOWED TO DEALER 3 TIMES FOR REPAIRS. FIRST REPAIR -- DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE OF PROBLEMS. SECOND REPAIR -- DEALER REPLACED FUEL PUMP, PURGE SOLENOID AND VAPOR CANISTER. THIRD REPAIR - PENDING. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHEN THE VEHICLE REACHES 2,000 RPMS WHILE ON A SLIGHT INCLINE, THE TRANSMISSION BEGINS TO SHUTTER AND SKIP. THIS LEADS TO FAILURE BETWEEN THE TRANSMISSION AND THE TORQUE CONVERTER. THE CONTACT RECENTLY TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE REPAIR SHOP AND THEY STATED THAT IT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNTIL SEPTEMBER OF 2007. THE TRANSMISSION ALSO MAKES A HARSH CLUNKING SOUND WHEN SHIFTING. THE CONTACT BELIEVES THAT THE SUSPENSION MAY BE FAILING BECAUSE THE VEHICLE RIDES ROUGHLY AT ANY SPEED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 800 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 350. THE CONSUMER STATED CHRYSLER STATED THIS WAS A SOFTWARE PROBLEM AND WILL NOT BE ABLE TO FIX THE VEHICLE UNTIL SOMETIME IN SEPTEMBER. UPDATED 09/11/07 *TR

I DROVE 20 MILES. PULLED INTO A PARKING PLACE, AND A FIRE ERUPTED UNDER MY HOOD. THE FRONT END OF THE CAR BECAME ENGULFED IN FLAMES, AND THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAD TO PUT THE FIRE OUT. THEY SPRAYED WATER INSIDE THE CAR'S CABIN TO EXTINGUISH THE FIRE IN THE DASH AND UNDER THE HOOD. *TR PONE INTERVIEW UPDATE (OCT. 5, 2007): I WAS VACATIONING WITH MY THREE CHILDREN IN FLORIDA WHEN THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE UNDER THE HOOD AND TOTALED IT. THE "HOT-SPOT" SHOWN ON THE HOOD IS HALF WAY DOWN ON THE DRIVER SIDE. AN AFTERMARKET DVD PLAYER WAS INSTALLED IN THE PASSENGER CABIN BUT THAT SHOULD NOT BE RELATED TO THE FIRE UNDER THE HOOD. CHRYSLER PAID ME FOR THE VEHICLE.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, A DEER STRUCK THE VEHICLE'S DRIVER SIDE REAR DOOR. THE TEMPERED GLASS SHATTERED INTO SMALL, SHARP PIECES CAUSING MINOR INJURIES TO THE PASSENGER. THE FRONT AND SIDE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE OCCUPANTS WERE WEARING SEAT BELTS. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN. A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 2,275.

I BELIEVE THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PACIFICAS ABS SYSTEM. I HAD A 2005 THAT AFTER 7 ATTEMPTS TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM OF THE WARNING LIGHT STAYING ON, CHRYSLER TOOK THE CAR BACK. I NOW HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN SERVICED ONCE FOR THE ABS SENSOR BEING DEFECTIVE AND IT WILL BE SERVICED AGAIN ON THURSDAY FOR THE SAME REASON. ABS LIGHT STAYS LIT. I HAVE 18,000 MILES ON THE 2006 AND IT WILL HAVE BEEN SERVICED TWICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. IT SEEMS TO ME THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH THIS TYPE OF CAR. HAVE YOU ANY DATA ON THIS PROBLEM. *JB
