THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON WHATSOEVER ALTHOUGH I GOT A "GAS CAP" MESSAGE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREE WAY(NO ACCIDENT, THANKFULLY) THE BREAKS WERE HARD TO PUSH DOWN I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LET IT ROLL THROUGH TRAFFIC I GOT TO A SAFE PLACE I PUT IT IN PARK WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO TRY STARTING IT, IT WOULD NOT START. SMOKE CAME OUT FROM BACK PASSENGER REAR TIRE. LET MY CAR SIT OVER NIGHT TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT MORNING, AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED IT INTO SHOP THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM I HAD LEFT MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK OTHER MECHANICS DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. LATER THEY TOLD ME I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. I ONLY GOT TO DRIVE IT 2X BEFORE IT STALLED. I REALLY LIKE IT AND WISH I CAN GET IT FIXED I DO BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE POWER TRAIN, FUEL PROPULSION, AND ENGINE. *TR

CAR WAS STATIONARY IN RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY. TRANSMISION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE SIMPLE RELEASE MECHANISM DID NOT HELP. TOOK CONSOL APART. AS DESCRIBED ON YOUTUBE VIDEOS, COULD SEE THAT THE PINK PLASTIC PART WAS BROKEN SO SPRING DID NOT OPERATE. FOUND OPENING SO I COULD ROTATE THE PINK PART WITH FINGER AND GET OUT OF PARK. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE PROBLEMS COVERED BY RECALL K39, BUT MY MODEL IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED. WHY IS IT NOT COVERED? SHOULD CHRYSLER COVER THE REPAIR?

Mileage: 101,000

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (DRIVING 45 MI/HR), IT STOPPED MOVING ACCELERATING (SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS ACTUALLY SLOWING DOWN) EVEN WHEN I WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. AND THEN THE CAR STALLED.......IT WAS A GOOD THING I WAS ON THE VERY RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE. THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND/OR THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) SOFTWARE MAY ALLOW THE ENGINE TO STALL UNDER CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. DEALERS WILL NEED TO REPROGRAM/REPLACE THE PCM/TCM AND/OR REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN. IN MOST CASES, ASIDE FROM STALLING AND ENGINE REVVING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN, THERE'S A LOT OF HARD JERKING WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN SINCE WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE OR DELAY IN MOVING FORWARD AND IF I LET GO OF THE GAS, THE CAR MOVES FORWARD. IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN.

FRONT SUB-FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE AS MANY OTHER REPORTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED ON THIS VINTAGE, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. FCA HAS REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE TOWARD THE REPAIR AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC REPORTED THAT NEW REPLACEMENT SUB-FRAMES ARE NOT EVEN AVAILABLE - LEAVING CONSUMERS WITH THE CHOICE OF RECYCLING THE VEHICLE AT A SALVAGE YARD, REPAIRING IT WITH WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY FLAWED OEM COMPONENTS, OR KEEP IT AS LAWN DECORATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND AM THANKFUL THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED PRIOR TO MY WIFE OR SON EXPERIENCING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES A LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. BE PROACTIVE AND FORCE FCA TO REPAIR THESE FAILURES - REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE - OR THIS ORGANIZATION IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAYS, WHEN TURNING AND WHILE STOPPED FOR LIGHT CHANGES. HAD TO HAVE BATTERY "JUMPED" OR CHARGED SEVERAL TIMES. BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE OF DISCHARGED FROM ALTERNATOR. HAD ALTERNATOR REPLACED. BATTERY CONTINUED TO DRAINED. VEHICLE RAN FOR ONE DAY AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. AFTER JUMP STARTING THE BATTERY, VEHICLE RAN FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MECHANICS, BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER HAVING THOSE PARTS REPLACED. FINALLY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZED IN CHRYSLERS AND WAS SHOCK WHEN HE STATED IT WAS THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) WHICH I BELIEVED AND RESEARCHED WAS PART A RECALL FOR 2005 PACIFICAS IN 2006. TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FIXED WHICH IS NOT THE PROBLEM OF THIS VEHICLE. THE PCM IS THE PROBLEM, AND THE DEALERSHIP IS NOT OWNING THIS. I DID NOT PURCHASE THE VEHICLE UNTIL 2010; SO I HONESTLY BELIEVED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS NOT REPAIR BUT CLAIMED TO HAD BEEN. WHEN REFERENCING THE RECALL NOTIFICATION (WHICH I DID NOT RECEIVE PERSONALLY), THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM WAS REPLACED FOR 2004 MODELS NOT 2005 MODELS. PCM PROBLEMS WERE THAT OF THE 2005 MODELS WHICH WAS NOT REPAIRED OR REPLACED FOR THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE TOWED APPROXIMATELY 7 TIMES NOW. I AM STILL PAYING INSURANCE FOR A VEHICLE THAT IS UNABLE TO BE DRIVEN. THE DEALERSHIP WANTS TO CHARGE ME $1000 FOR REPAIR, THAT IS A LITTLE LESS THAT HALF OF WHAT THE VEHICLE IS WORTH.

I OWE 4,400$ ON THE CAR AND NOW AM TOLD THE REPAIRS WOULD EXCEED 5,000$. I FINANCED IT FOR 6,455$ AT THE START. I'M DISABLED AND GREATLY IN NEED OF HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I HAVE MADE A SLEW OF CALLS TO NO AVAIL AT THIS POINT AND CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS AS I DON'T WANT TO RUIN MY CREDIT, PLEASE HELP ME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

THE VEHICLES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD STATED ON SINCE THAN. I HAD THE CODE SCANNED AND IT CAME BACK AS CODES P0700 AND P0740. I SEARCHED FOR THE MEANING OF THOSE CODES AND THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID IT WAS THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY VIN SPECIFIC VEHICLE. I OF COURSE ASKED HOW IT WAS NOT RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE WHEN EVERYTHING I HAVE READ SAYS IT WAS FOR ALL 2005-2006 PACIFICA'S. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENING WITH OTHER PACIFICA OWNERS AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE TCM ON MY VEHICLE RECALLED AND REPLACED JUST AS THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WERE. IF I HAD BEEN AND CLOSER TO ANY OF THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME THE SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED THEN I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED SEVERAL PEOPLE BY NOW AND NONE OF THE ACCIDENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN MY FAULT.

I TOOK MY NEWLY PURCHASED 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO MY MECHANIC TO GET THE BRAKES SERVICED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THE ENGINE WAS IN DANGER OF FALLING OUT! MY MECHANIC WAS EXTREMELY CONCERNED (HE IS A FRIEND AND AN HONEST MECHANIC WHO RUNS A VERY REPUTABLE REPAIR AND BODY SHOP IN OTTAWA, KS). I CALLED CHRYSLER BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR TO SEE IF THEIR WERE ANY RECALLS ON IT, AND WAS TOLD THEIR WAS NOT. THE CAR IS OTHERWISE IN PERFECT CONDITION, NO DAMAGE AND VERY LITTLE WEAR INSIDE AND OUT. IT WAS CLEAR TO MY MECHANIC THAT THIS WAS DUE TO SOME DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE, AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A 10 YEAR OLD CAR THAT IS IN AS GOOD OF CONDITION AS MIND IS WITH ONLY 110000 MILES ON IT. TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE CRADLE PUT IT, IT WOULD COST OVER $4000. I CANNOT AFFORD THAT, SO WE ARE PUTTING IN A RECONDITIONED ONE, INSPECTED TO MAKE SURE IT HAS NO WEAR OR RUST ON IT, AND WE ARE PAINTING AND PUTTING ADDITIONAL UNDERCOATING ON IT AS TO PREVENT ANY SUCH RECURRENCES. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE, I HAVE SINCE LEARNED THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM, AND IS EFFECTING A LARGE NUMBER OF OWNERS, AND IS MUCH MORE WIDESPREAD THAN CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO ADMIT. I CALLED THEM, AND MY CAR IS SUPPOSEDLY NOT ONE EFFECTED IN THEIR 3-4 WEEK WINDOW OF PRODUCTION, YET IT WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED TO THE POINT OF POSSIBLY CAUSING A SERIOUS AND EVEN FATAL CAR ACCIDENT. *TR

I AM WITHIN 8 MONTHS OF THE PREVIOUS RECALLED VEHICLES FROM CHRYSLER FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD EXTEND THEIR RECALL AS THIS IS A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT IS GROWING WITH THIS SPECIFIC MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN 2007 AND IT HAD 25,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 39,000 MILES ON IT I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD GET STUCK IN GEAR (STUCK BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS). AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, I COULD DRIVE IT BY USING THE TIPTRONIC SHIFTING SYSTEM (MANUALLY SHIFTING GEARS). THE PROBLEM IS A SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION THAT COSTS OVER $2000 BETWEEN PARTS AND LABOR. AT 72,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE FRONT END COMPONENTS I.E CONTROL ARMS,TIE RODS,ETC. AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER ABOUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH HAS A GOV'T MANDATED WARRANTY OF 80,000 MILE WARRANTY, THEY DID GIVE ME THE MONEY I SPENT ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER PART ONLY). WELL, THE CHRYSLER NOW HAS 104,000 MILES ON IT AND IT NEEDS ANOTHER CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND ALL THE FRONT END PARTS THAT WERE PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN! THAT IS INSANE! I LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND CHRYSLER KNOWS THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE BECAUSE THEIR ARE COMPANIES SELLING THIS FRONT END REPAIR KIT. BUT SINCE I NEED THE CAR I GUESS I HAVE TO EAT THESE COSTS YET AGAIN. AT 68,000 I REPLACED A HDMI HEADLIGHT THAT COSTS OVER $160.00 PER BULB. SOON AFTER I BEGAN TO SMELL SOMETHING BURNING, AND THE NEW HEAD LIGHT BURNED OUT. I HAD TO REPLACE THE BULB AGAIN AT AN ADDITIONAL $160.00 AND THIS LITTLE SILVER BOX THAT THE LIGHT SITS IN FOR $80.00. NOW AT 104,00 MILES BOTH PARTS NEED TO BE REPLACED AGAIN, AND ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER DEALER, THIS ISSUE HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH ELECTRICAL HARNESS, IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY, AND I HAVE TO EAT THIS COST TOO. IN MY OPINION THE TICKETS ARE CHEAPER THAN THE PART. MANY OF THE CHRYSLER DEALERS DO NOT TRY TO HELP DIAGNOSE PROBLEM AND THEY REMIND ME EVERYTHING IS OUT OF WARRANTY - GREAT JOB! *TR

I INITIALLY TOOK MY CAR IN BECAUSE I HEAR A NOISE IN THE WHEEL WELL. AFTER AN ADDITIONAL DAY OF HOLDING THE VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CRADLE THAT BASICALLY HOUSED THE MAJOR ENGINE COMPONENTS WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. I WAS PROVIDED A TOTAL OF OVER $2300 FOR THE PARTS ALONE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PART, I FOUND MANY INCIDENTS REPORTED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY CHRYSLER. I AS WELL WAS TOLD THAT I HAD EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN JUNE OF 2013. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT; AS THIS CAR (AND OTHERS) ARE NOT STRUCTURALLY SOUND. I DRIVE MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 10 YEAR OLD SON IN THE VEHICLE EVERYDAY. I ALSO MAKE A 68 MILE HIGHWAY COMMUTE ROUND TRIP TO AND FROM WORK IN THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS RECALLED AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS CHRYSLER GOING TO DO ABOUT THE MATTER. I SEE THERE ARE RECALLS FOR SEAT BELTS THAT SAVE LIVES. RECALLING THE STRUCTURE OF THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE INCLUDED AS FAILURE OF THIS COMPONENT IS CATASTROPHIC. IT WILL SAVE LIVES TO RECALL AND REPAIR. *TR

THE SUBFRAME (WHICH HOLDS UP THE ENGINE) HAS THOROUGHLY RUSTED THROUGH CREATING THE DANGER OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FALLING FROM THE FRAME. I AM TOLD THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER HAS ACKNOWLEDGED A DEFECT IN MATERIALS USED TO CONSTRUCT CARS IN FEBRUARY AND MARCH OF 2004 AND HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 150,000 MILES FOR THOSE VEHICLES. AS MINE WAS PRODUCED 4 MONTHS LATER THEY ARE DENYING ANY LIABILITY AND REFUSING ANY ASSISTANCE. THE DEFECT IS IDENTICAL TO ONE THAT IS COVERED ON CARS MADE 4 MONTHS PRIOR , AND THEY HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO PROVIDE ANY DOCUMENTATION SHOWING THE MATERIAL USED ON MY VEHICLE IS NOT FROM THE DEFECTIVE BATCH. I MAY HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS BUT THEY CANNOT PROVIDE A METHOD TO IDENTIFY THOSE DEFECTIVE PARTS. CHRYSLER IS UNWILLING TO EVEN EXAMINE THE VEHICLE, INSTEAD USING THE VIN AS THEIR ONLY REFERENCE AS TO COVERAGE. I FOUND IT INTERESTING THAT WHEN I REFERENCED OTHERS RECEIVING ASSISTANCE OUTSIDE THE PARAMETERS OF THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I WAS TOLD THAT BASED ON CUSTOMER LOYALTY THERE MAY BE ASSISTANCE FOR SOME BUT IT WAS NOT AVAILABLE TO ME. I AM CONCERNED THAT CUSTOMER LOYALTY PLAYS A ROLE IN THE SAFETY OF THEIR (PAST) CUSTOMERS. I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY PEOPLE EXPECT THEIR FRAME TO FAIL IN 8 YEARS BUT THIS COULD BE A MAJOR SAFETY FACTOR FOR BOTH PASSENGERS AND ANY VEHICLE AROUND THEM WHEN AN ENGINE FALLS FROM A CAR.

THIS IS IN REGARDS TO A 2004-2005 AWD CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THERE IS TSB 21-020-05 OUT ON THE TRANSFER CASE (PTU). THIS VEHICLE HAD APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES ON IT WHEN THE PROBLEMS STARTED OCCURRING. CHRYSLER RECOMMENDS REPLACING THE PTU IF MAKING NOISE. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED ON THIS PROBLEM BY THE CONSUMER, AND WAS DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE IN REPAIRING THIS PROBLEM. THEY SITE IT AS NORMAL 'WEAR AND TEAR' OF A VEHICLE. WITH SUCH LOW MILEAGE ON A MAJOR COMPONENT ON A VEHICLE, THIS SEEMED TO BE AN EASY WAY OUT FOR CHRYSLER TO PASS THIS PROBLEM OFF TO THE CONSUMER. CHRYSLER ALSO STATES THAT UNLESS YOU ARE THE ORIGINAL OWNER, THE 75,000 MILE WARRANTY IS VOID. CONSIDERING HOW MANY VEHICLES ARE ON A LEASE, THIS WOULD BE A VERY LARGE NUMBER. THIS LEAVES MANY PEOPLE IN AN UNSAFE CONDITION THAT CHRYSLER HAS SHRUGGED OFF. THERE ARE 767 POSTS ON WWW.EDMUNDS.COM REGARDING THIS SITUATION WITH OTHER PACIFICA OWNERS. NOT TO MENTION THOSE THAT HAVE NOT POSTED ANYTHING ON THIS, AND HAVE JUST ACCEPTED THAT CHRYSLER WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR DEFECTIVE PRODUCT. THIS PART IS INTEGRAL TO THE POWER TRAIN SYSTEM, AND OVERALL DRIVABILITY OF THE VEHICLE. AT ANY TIME, A VEHICLE CAN BECOME INOPERABLE AND MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT RESULTING IN INJURY OR DEATH. THIS VEHICLE BECAME INOPERABLE CROSSING THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY HIGHWAY AS THE TRANSMISSION/PTU SUDDENLY BECAME INOPERABLE. THE CONSEQUENCES COULD HAVE BEEN VERY CATASTROPHIC AS OTHER VEHICLES COULD HAVE SUDDENLY RUN INTO THIS INOPERABLE VEHICLE. TO CORRECT THE FAILURE, A NEW PTU UNIT NEEDS TO BE INSTALLED THAT HAS THE DEFICIENCY THAT CHRYSLER ADMITS IS THERE, TO BE REPLACED. THESE REPAIRS CAN EXCEED $2000. THE OLD PART IS AVAILABLE. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND IT IS STUCK IN PARK, AND HAS BEEN FOR A WEEK NOW. IT WILL START UP, AND YOU CAN HEAR THE SHIFTER CLICK WHEN YOU STEP ON THE BRAKE, BUT YOU CANNOT MOVE THE SHIFTER STICK TO PUT IT IN ANOTHER GEAR. IT WILL GO OVER TO PARK, BUT CANNOT GET THE SHIFTER TO COME DOWN TO PUT IT IN GEAR. I HAVE TOLD THE CHRYSLER COMPANY ABOUT THE DEFECT, BUT THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE WENT ONLINE AND READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT CHRYSLER VEHICLES GETTING STUCK IN PARK, AND PEOPLE ARE MANUALLY GOING UNDER THE HOOD TO PULL THE BRAKE OUT OF PARK. THIS IS A SAFETY FEATURE THAT IN ORDER TO MOVE THE VEHICLE, YOU HAVE TO HAVE YOUR FOOT ON THE BRAKE TO PUT IT IN GEAR. WITHOUT THIS SAFETY FEATURE IN PLACE, A VEHICLE COULD ROLL INTO THE STREET, OR IF A CHILD IS LEFT ALONE IN THE VEHICLE, THEY COULD EASILY PUT IT IN GEAR. THIS IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE I AM MORE THAN SURE, PEOPLE ARE NOT TAKING THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER TO HAVE THIS SAFETY FEATURE PUT BACK IN PLACE, ONCE THEY GET IT UNSTUCK. PEOPLE HAVE BEEN STRANDED BECAUSE THEIR VEHICLE GOT STUCK IN PARK. THIS IS SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE A RECALL AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. TO SEE THE COMPLAINTS, GOOGLE THIS ' MY CHRYSLER IS STUCK IN PARK. *TR

PROBLEM #1: ABS LIGHT COMES ON. WHEN BRAKE IS PUSHED DOWN, GRINDING NOISE STARTS, AND BRAKE DOES NOT SLOW CAR DOWN PROPERLY. OCCURS DAILY, MULTIPLE TIMES. CAME WITHIN INCHES OF CRASHING INTO PEOPLE, PROPERTY, MULTIPLE TIMES. MECHANIC SAYS IT'S WHEEL SPEED SENSOR & EXPENSIVE TO FIX. WE DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY. PROBLEM #2: GAS PEDAL STICKS. WHEN CHANGING CAR FROM PARK TO DRIVE, GAS PEDAL WILL NOT GO DOWN. YOU HAVE TO PRESS ON GAS HARD, THUS SENDING THE CAR RAPIDLY FORWARD OR BACKWARDS, JUST TO GET IT TO GO. HAPPENS DAILY, EVERY TIME I CHANGE IT FROM PARK TO DRIVE. PROBLEM #3: POWER STEERING LOCKS UP WHILE MAKING A TURN. WHILE MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT AN INTERSECTION, POWER STEERING LOCKED UP AND COULD NOT TURN THE CAR, WHEN I HIT BRAKES TO STOP, THEY DID NOT WORK PROPERLY EITHER, ALMOST SENDING MY CHILDREN & MYSELF OVER AN EMBANKMENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 4 TIMES IN LAST 3 MONTHS. CAR HAS BEEN LOOKED AT 3 TIMES, WITH A DIAGNOSTIC RAN ON IT EACH TIME. RESPONSE IS THAT CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, PARK IT AND NEVER GET BEHIND THE WHEEL AGAIN, IS WHAT I HAVE HEARD FROM ALL 3 MECHANICS. WOULD LOVE TO PARK IT & SAVE MY FAMILY FROM HARM, BUT IT'S NECESSARY TO HAVE A CAR WHERE I LIVE, AND WE HAVE NO EXTRA MONEY TO BUY A NEW CAR, SO THERE'S NO OPTIONS. COST TO REPAIR IS ALREADY AT OVER $800. *TR

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2008 AND THE DEALER (SHEEHY FORD) WON'T EVEN TAKE IT BACK. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE OBD CONNECTOR AND IT STILL WOULDN'T PASS INSPECTION. TOOK IT BACK TO THE INSPECTION STATION AND IT FAILED BECAUSE OF THE OXYGEN SENSOR, REPLACED THAT AND TOOK IT BACK FOR THE 3RD TIME AND IT FAILED AGAIN BECAUSE THE MACHINE READ: MONITORS NOT READY. I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT THE POWER TRAIN AND THE ENGINE ARE FAULTY ON MY VEHICLE. SHEEHY KNEW THEY SOLD ME A LEMON, I'VE TRIED TO HAVE THEM RESOLVE THIS ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOTHING. I WANT THEM TO EITHER FIX THE PROBLEM OR GIVE ME ANOTHER CAR. I REPORTED THEM TO THE BBB AS WELL AND THEY NEVER RESPONDED TO BBB ON MY COMPLAINT. THAT LOOKS SO SUSPECT IN MY EYES. *TR

THIS IS AN OLD STORY. 2005 CHRYSLER PASIFICA. I ADJUSTED (MOVE FORWARD) ACCEL AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION BY ELECTRIC POSITION ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM. THEN I WENT TO A HIGHWAY (I94, MI), MY CAR DID NOT SPEED AT ALL. VERY SLOW. SO, I COULD NOT FOLLOW THE FLOW OF OTHER VEHICLE, I WAS ALMOST BE CRASHED. I IMMEDIATELY QUIT FROM THE HIGHWAY AND CHECKED THE PEDALS. THE REASON OF THE ISSUE WAS POOR STROKE OF THE PEDALS. IN CASE OF PACIFICA, WHEN WE MOVE THE PEDALS FORWARD MORE THAN MIDDLE POSITION, MOVING RANGE OF THE ACCEL PEDAL WAS REDUCED LESS THAN HALF BECAUSE THE PEDAL HIT ON THE FLOOR. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM CAUSES AUTO CRUISE SYSTEM PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE PEDAL CAN NOT MOVE MORE THAN HALF OF ITS RANGE, THE SYSTEM CAN NOT PULL THE PEDAL CORRECTLY. THEN THE VACUUM HOSE DROPS OUT FROM THE LINE. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN WHEN THE PROBLEM OCCURRED. I WENT TO CHRYSLER SERVICE CENTER AND THEY RECONNECT THE VACUUM HOSE AGAIN. I AM SURE THIS IS A DESIGN ERROR AND SHOULD BE IMPROVED IMMEDIATELY. MAYBE RECALL. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WHICH WAS MANUFACTURED, ACCORDING TO MY DEALERSHIP ON JUNE 16, 2005. I HAD BROUGHT THE CAR INTO THE DEALERSHIP 11/06 BECAUSE OF A SEAT BELT PROBLEM AND WHEN I WAS THERE THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL AND THAT THEY WERE GOING TO TAKE CARE OF IT. RECALL F-44. I HAD NOT HAD ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL PUMP PRIOR TO THAT. THIS WEEK MY CAR STALLED TWICE. ONCE WHEN TURNING LEFT, ONCE WHEN TURNING RIGHT. CAR WAS ABLE TO START UP AGAIN. I BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALERSHIP (CHRYSLER JEEP OF WHITE PLAINS AT 70 WESTCHESTER AVE., WHITE PLAINS, NY 10601 PHONE: 914-946-3544). THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED 2 NEW FUEL PUMPS AND IT WOULD COST $1210 AND IT WAS NOT UNDER WARRANTY AND THERE WAS NO RECALL NOTICE. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THE F-44 RECALL ONLINE WHICH STATES A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM. I HAVE SPENT THE LAST 2 DAYS TALKING TO THE DEALERSHIP (WHICH HAS MY CAR) AND DAIMLER-CHRYSLER REGARDING THE PROBLEM. THE HEADQUARTERS FIRST TOLD ME MY PUMP PROBLEM WAS PART OF THE RECALL AND THAT THE DEALERSHIP HAD TO REPLACE THE PUMPS FREE OF CHARGE. BUT WHEN THE DEALERSHIP TALKED TO THEM THEY TOLD HQ THAT THEY HAD BEEN DIRECTED TO CHANGE THE FUEL PUMPS ONLY ON CERTAIN 2005 PACIFICAS. ONLY ON ONES MANUFACTURED WITHIN A CERTAIN DATE. THEY SAID ON MY 2005 PACIFICA THEY ONLY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE PCM. I, AS A CONSUMER, SEE IT THAT ONE RECALL WAS MADE AND IT WAS MADE BECAUSE OF A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM WHICH WOULD CAUSE A CAR TO STALL. I AM HAVING THOSE PROBLEMS. THE DEALERSHIP IS TELLING ME THAT THEY WERE ACTUALLY 2 RECALLS - ONE FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND ONE TO REPROGRAM. I DO NOT SEE IT THAT WAY - THERE WAS ONLY 1 RECALL AND IT WAS FOR THE PROBLEMS I AM HAVING. THEY ARE MAKING ME PAY $1210+ FOR A PROBLEM THAT WAS THE REASON FOR THE RECALL IN THE FIRST PLACE !!!!! *TR

MY PACIFICA WOULD NOT START RIGHT AWAY WHEN I FIRST ATTEMPTED TO START IT AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING OVER NIGHT, IT WOULD HESITATE WHEN I TOOK OFF FROM A STOP IF I HAD BEEN ON A DOWNHILL INCLINE AND THE GAS GAUGE WOULD DROP TO EMPTY AS SOON AS THE TANK WAS DOWN TO FIVE-EIGHTHS FULL. THE PROBLEM WENT AWAY AS SOON AS I FILLED THE TANK, BUT THE NEXT WEEK IT HAPPENED AGAIN WHEN THE TANK GOT DOWN TO FIVE-EIGHTHS. I CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT AND THE EARLIEST THEY COULD TAKE IT WAS JUNE 21ST. THE PROBLEM GOT MUCH WORSE BY THE TIME THE 21ST CAME AROUND. EVERY TIME I CAME TO A STOP THE ENGINE WOULD STALL. IT WOULD START BACK UP IF THE CAR WAS PUT IN DRIVE, BUT IF IT WAS ON A DOWNHILL INCLINE IT WOULD NOT RESTART. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER ON JUNE 21ST AND WAS TOLD IT NEEDED A FUEL PUMP. THEY CALLED ME LATER THAT DAY AND SAID THE PART WAS BACK ORDERED, BUT THEY SHOULD HAVE IT IN A DAY OR TWO. WELL, TODAY IS JULY 19TH AND MY CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALER WAITING FOR A PART. EVIDENTLY THE PACIFICAS HAVE A PRIMARY FUEL PUMP AND A JET PUMP. SO MANY OF THE CARS HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM (THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS LISTED ON EDMUNDS.COM FORUM) THAT EVIDENTLY THEY CAN'T KEEP UP WITH THE DEMAND FOR THESE PUMPS. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE CENTER ON JULY 11TH. I DON'T KNOW IF IT HAS DONE ANY GOOD, BUT THEY DO CALL THE DEALER EACH TIME I CALL THEM WHILE THEY HAVE ME ON THE PHONE.
