I got in the car started it as usual, shifted it in (D), pulled out of my church parking lot, got about 5 miles away from my church stopped at a red light. The light turned green I accelerated as usual. At this light is a slight incline about 15% ways up the incline it just stopped pulling. I pressed the gas heat the engine Rev but no power to the wheels. So I shifted it in auto stick mode and it wouldn’t change out of second gear I left it on the highway for about 3 days.I went back trying to reset the trans by turning the switch on and holding the gas pedal for 30sec as seen in Chryslers forum and YouTube yet still no power had the car towed back to Alabama when I go to church in Tennessee which was about 50 miles away or so. Get it home after paying a huge towing bill. Because my insurance only covered like 15miles. I got it home try to shift it in R, D, and The Autostick. however, it finally started going back to 1st gear. Unfortunately it still wouldn’t pull. I’ve looked up the problem and there is a recall for this, However when I call Chrysler it doesn’t cover my vehicle

Vehicle shut off WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD out of nowhere after running perfectly fine and since this incident the car won't start at all. Had the car diagnosed and it said it's the "Transmission control module"

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA SEEMS TO HAVE SOME VERY COMMON AND RELATED ISSUES TO AN EXISTING RECALL. MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCES ALL KIND OF ISSUES RELATED TO A FAULTY FUEL PUMP/TANK DESIGN AND POSSIBLY SOFTWARE ISSUES ALSO. MY VEHICLE CAN BE VERY HARD TO START. MY VEHICLE CAN SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. (NO OTHER KNOWN ISSUES) MY VEHICLE TENDS TO THINK THE GAS CAP IS BAD. DISPLAYING GASCAP IN THE ODOMETER AREA. WE EXPERIENCE POWER LOSS, STALLS, POOR FUEL ECONOMY, FUEL CAPOR SMELL ON OCCASION THAT COULD IGNITE, IF FOR ANY REASON THE FUEL SYSTEM IS SLIGHTLY OVERFILLED BY EVEN TEN CENTS WORTH OF FUEL IT CAN POOR FUEL ONTO THE GROUND. THIS HAPPENS ON TOP OF THE TANK. NOT AT THE FILLER HOSE. CHECK ENGIN LIGHT CODE POINTS TO EVAPORATIVE SYSTEM. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN AUGUST 2005. I BELIEVE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE IS BAD AS WELL AS POSSIBLY SOFTWARE. IF YOU DO YOUR OWN RESEARCH YOU WILL FIND THIS CAR IS KNOW TO HAVE EVAP SYSTEM AND FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES. LOTS OF THEM. ONE THAT COMES TO MIND IS A CONNECTOR ON THE PUMP OR MODEL CRACKING AND ALLOWING FUEL /AIR TO ESCAPE. I AM TERRIFIED MY CAR MIGHT BLOW UP WITH MY CHILDREN IN IT. I CAN'T GIVE EXACT DATES BECAUSE THIS HAPPENS ALL OF THE TIME. EVAP CODES RETURN, FUEL SMELLS, POOR ENGINE PERFORMANCE POWER LOSS, IF IT DOES SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING IT BECOMES HARD TO STEER. ETC ETC

Mileage: 197,000

SINCE I HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE (2013) THERE HAVE BEEN PROBLEMS WITH GETTING THE CAR RUNNING AGAIN. FIRST WHILE IN MOTION THE VEHICLE WOULD TREMOR (IN THE FRONT) BEFORE SHUTTING DOWN, PARTICULARLY IF GOING ABOVE 25-30 MPH. WHEN THE CAR WAS SHUT OFF BY KEY IGNITION AND TURNED BACK ON IT WOULD START AGAIN. CODES FOR OXYGEN SENSOR WOULD COME UP, HAD THAT FIXED. PROBLEM BEGAN AGAIN A FEW MONTHS LATER. MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY/OPEN ROAD THE SENSORS ON THE PANEL ALL LITE UP AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. I HAD THE ALTERNATOR REPLACED TWICE FOR THIS ISSUE; THINKING THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. PRIOR TO THE SECOND ALTERNATOR REBUILD/REPLACEMENT THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD FLUCTUATE AFTER REACHING HALF A TANK. MOST OF THE TIME IT WOULD READ EMPTY WHEN THE TANK WAS HALF FULL; OR EMPTY WHEN THE TANK IS FULL. I NOTICED THE GAUGE WOULD DROP IF A TURN WAS MADE OR THE CAR HIT A BUMP/POT HOLE IN THE CITY STREET/HIGHWAY. I ATTEMPTED TO REPLICATE CONDITIONS TO GET THE GAUGE TO GO BACK TO NORMAL, THIS DID NOT ALWAYS WORK.OCCASIONALLY IT WOULD WAVE AROUND WHILE DRIVING. THE CAR BEGAN TO READ CODE FOR FUEL SYSTEM ISSUES. HAD THIS TESTED, FUEL SYSTEM WAS FINE; YET PROBLEM CONSISTED. WITH A HALF FULL TANK, THE CAR WOULD REPEATEDLY READ EMPTY, NOT ALLOW ANY ADDITIONAL GAS TO BE PUT INTO THE TANK (WOULD CUT OFF AT PUMP AS IF TANK WERE FULL), AND SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING IN DIFFERENT ROAD CONDITIONS AS IF THERE WERE NO GAS IN THE CAR. RIGHT NOW THE GAS GAUGE CONTINUES TO READ EMPTY WHEN THERE IS GAS IN THE TANK, I HAVE TROUBLE FILLING THE TANK AS IT CUTS OFF THE PUMP REPEATEDLY NOT ALLOWING NEW GAS TO BE PUT IN, THE CAR CUTS OFF OFTEN WHILE DRIVING.

Mileage: 165,000

CAR BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD, ABRUPT KNOCKING NOISE FROM RIGHT SIDE, PASSENGER FRONT OF VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THREE SEPARATE REPAIR SHOPS FOR EVALUATION AND AT ALL THREE REPAIRS SHOPS WERE TOLD THAT OUR ENGINE CRADLE WAS SO BADLY ROTTED AND RUSTED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. IT WAS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CAN BOTH DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY MOMENT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE TO CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT ASSISTING CURRENT OWNERS WITH REPAIR.

I WAS ON FREEWAY DOING 60_70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING AND GAS PEDAL FELT STIFF LIKE WHEN CAR IS OFF.

I GOT OFF FREEWAY SOMEHOW AND TURNED CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A ONE TIME THING . A FEW MILES LATER IT DID SAME THING AND I WAS STALLED OUT IN MIDDLE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC . CARS BRAKED AND SWERVED OUT OF MY WAY TO AVOID REAR ENDING US . MY CHILDREN WERE SCARED CAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING OUT OF THE BLUE. I NOW HAVE NO DESIRE TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR WITH ANY OF MY FAMILY IN IT INCASE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN.

HE TOLD ME THAT THEY FIXED MY CAR SO I CAN PASS EMISSIONS ($900) AND BASICALLY TOLD ME TO DRIVE IT FOR A FEW MONTHS AND GET RID OF IT. I ASKED HIM HOW MUCH IT WOULD BE TO FIX IT AND HE TOLD ME, IT WOULD BE VERY EXPENSIVE. I DID MY RESEARCH AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. THERE IS A RECALL FOR 04-05 PACIFICAS AND AFTER LOOKING AT PICTURES OF OTHER SUBFRAMES FOR 04-05 MODELS, THEY LOOK JUST LIKE MINE (RUSTED W/HOLES). 06 PACIFICAS SHOULD ALSO BE IN THE RECALL. I DID NOT CALL CHRYSLER BECAUSE I FELT I WOULD GET THE SAME RESPONSE AS OTHERS. SO NOW I HAVE TO PRAY EVERY TIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE THAT THE SUBFRAME DOESN'T BREAK.

MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS CAR BECAUSE THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD REPLACED THE EGR VALVE, O2 CENSORS, THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS, IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, AND A TUNE UP AND MY CAR STILL RUNS THE SAME, LIKE CRAP. THE COMPUTER IS NOT DIAGNOSING THE CAR PROPERLY AND NEITHER ARE THE MECHANICS. *TR

MY CAR FAILED ON US AS WE WERE ON OUR TRIP TOWARDS BROWNSVILLE TEXAS. THE ELECTRICAL IN MY CAR STARTED FLICKERING AND THE MOTOR KEPT ACCELERATING ITSELF.. THEN THE GAS INDICATOR WENT FROM SHOWING HALF TANK FULL TO 10 MILES TO EMPTY.. WE WERE IN THE DESERTED PART OF THE CHECKPOINT RANCH SO WE HAD ABOUT 30 MILES UNTIL A GAS STATION WE THOUGHT WE COULDN'T POSSIBLY JUST RUN OUT OF GAS, BUT AS WE CONTINUED 5 MINUTES LATER OUR CAR ELECTRICAL JUST SOUNDED A SPARK AND OUR CAR STARTING SHUTTING OFF, HARD STEERING TO PULL ON SIDE OF ROAD.. BUT THANK GOD WE HAD NO VEHICLES BEHIND US SO THAT PREVENTED AN ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING.. WE CALLED FAMILY MEMBER TO GO HELP US HAUL OUR CAR TO A NEAREST GAS STATION OR MECHANIC.. SOMETHING I NEVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE WITH MY CHILDREN 3 AND 1 IN MY CAR AND THE HOT SUMMER.. I HAVE SEARCHED FOR MY CAR IF IT FALLS IN THE RECALL CATEGORY BUT IT SHOWS NOTHING.. YET IT SHOWED TO HAVE SIMILAR DEFECTS AS THE ONES BEING RECALLED. *TR

CAR HAS ROTTEN SUB FRAME THAT CRADLES ENGINE SUSPENSION! IN LOOKING AT CHRYSLER COMPLAINTS THIS APPEARS TO BE PREVALENT IN ALL THE SUB FRAMES. MY MECHANIC HAS WELDED IN METAL IN PLACE OF ROT. THIS SUB FRAME IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUSPENSION OF THE FRONT END AND CRADLES ENGINE MOUNTS. THERE IS NO WAY A CAR DESIGN SHOULD ALLOW FOR FAILURE OF SUCH A CRITICAL JOB AFTER 89000 MILES AND 8 YEARS. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND OR REMOVED FROM THE ROAD BEFORE THERE ARE UNNECESSARY DEATHS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THROUGH A VERY DANGEROUS CURVE (S-CURVE), IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. AFTER SAFELY PULLING OVER (DIFFICULTLY) AND STOPPING I LET IT SIT WHILE CALLING MY HUSBAND. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP NO PROBLEM AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY STAY RUNNING FOR 5-7 MINUTES, THEN WHILE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY STAY RUNNING FOR 3-5 SECONDS AND NOW SOMETIMES WON'T EVEN START AT ALL. AFTER FINALLY TOWING TO A DEALERSHIP BELIEVING IT WAS THE SKIM MODULE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT IS THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE THAT IS BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FIND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE SAME VEHICLE AND YEAR FOR THESE SAME EXACT TYPE ISSUES, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD NOW BY 2 DEALERSHIPS AND THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CORPORATION THAT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE CHECKED BY THE VIN # IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR

THEN HE TOLD ME THAT PART OF THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTING AND CRACKING TO THE POINT THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COULD FALL OUT. I FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR 2004 AND 2005 PACIFICAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT WOULD NOT COVER IT FOR ANY OTHER YEARS. THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAD A PROBLEM COUPLED WITH THE NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T COVER THIS FAILURE ON ALL MODEL YEARS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHRYSLER THAT I WILL EVER BUY. *TR

I HAD RESET THE TRIP AT THE TIME OF FILL UP AND I HAD TRACKED THE HIGHWAY MILEAGE USING A LITTLE LESS THAN 1/2 TANK THEN REFILLED IT THEN TOOK HOW MANY MILES I HAD GONE DIVIDED IT BY HOW MANY GALLONS OF GAS IT TOOK TO FILL IT BACK UP. I WAS GETTING 21 MILES PER GALLON. WHEN THE GAS GAUGE REACHED 1/2 TANK, IT DROPPED STRAIGHT TO EMPTY. I HAD ONLY GONE ROUGHLY 200 MILES AND FIGURED AT 21 MILES PER GALLON I SHOULD EASILY GET 350 TO 400 MILES BEFORE NEEDING GAS SO I CARRIED ON. AFTER I HAD TRAVELED 220 MILES ON A FULL TANK, (20 GALLONS) THE MOTOR JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED FOR HELP. THEY BROUGHT 2 GALLONS OF GAS AND PUT IT IN AND IT FIRED RIGHT UP. I DROVE 2 MILES BACK TO THE GAS STATION AND FILLED IT BACK UP AND IT ONLY TOOK 8 GALLONS TO FILL IT BACK UP. 10 IF YOU INCLUDE THE 2 WE HAD JUST PUT IN ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD.

I HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED IN 2012; THE NEXT MONTH THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. TEN MONTHS LATER, THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS INSIGNIFICANT, THAT THE BRAKES ARE FINE. IN THE FALL OF 2013, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP BECAUSE IT TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES. I SPENT OVER $800.00 HAVING A BUNCH OF CODES CLEARED WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER THINGS. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF FOR A FEW DAYS BUT CAME BACK ON. THERE WAS AN ERROR THAT READ GAS CAP. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. IN MARCH 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CALIBERS BUT LATER WAS TOLD THAT I DIDN'T. I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TO CHECK AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKES. I HAD THOSE REPLACED. ON 4/7/2014, I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING GARAGE AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO UNSTICK IT. TODAY, APRIL 13, 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FRONTEND. I LOVE MY CAR BUT IT JUST DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. *JS

HE WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO GEAR FOR ME SO I COULD DRIVE HOME, BUT IT IS BROKEN AND WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK (WITHOUT TRYING HIS TEMPORARY "FIX"). I CAME HOME AND WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH THE RECALL (BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER EVER GETTING A RECALL LETTER) AND I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. BASED ON WHAT THIS DRIVER TOLD ME, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CERTAIN CHRYSLER CARS (INCLUDING MINE) AND SHOULD BE A MANUFACTURER'S RECALL. *TR

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. FIRST ISSUE WAS THE CV BOOTS THAT HAD COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED. THIS OCCURRED 62,123 MILES. NEXT ISSUE THAT IS STILL OCCURRING TODAY AND DEEPLY CONCERNS ME IS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS FROM TIME TO TIME. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSES THAT TO HAPPEN BUT IT SCARES THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUT OF ME ON A WEEKLY BASIS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PANEL READ GASCAP. WELL WE BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. SINCE THEN WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN, MORE MONEY OUT OF OUR POCKET SO UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT HAD THE REPAIR DONE SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT. NEXT AND BIGGEST ISSUE OFF ALL IS THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN OUR STREET I HEARD A NOISE THAT CONCERNED ME. WHEN I GOT HOME THERE WAS A TAPPING UNDER THE HOOD, THE TAPPING HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS SINCE THEN. THE ORIGINAL MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 85,625 MILES. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A TAPPING LIFTER. WELL THIS IS A VERY VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. SO EASIEST THING FOR US TO DO IS TO TRADE IN OUR CAR....NOT THE CASE. OUR CAR NOW HAS NO TRADE-IN VALUE BECAUSE OF THE LIFTER ISSUE. I AM BESIDE MYSELF AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE ALL ISSUES THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ADDRESS UNDER WARRANTY. THE MAINTENANCE ON OUR VEHICLE IS DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS TO AVOID ISSUES LIKE THIS.

CAUSE: A SMALL PINK PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT HAS A SPRING ATTACHED TO IT, WHICH IS A GEAR LOCKING MECHANISM, TENDS TO BREAK AT ABOUT 40-60 THOUSAND MILES OR SOONER. THERE ARE NO CHRYSLER RECALLS FOR THIS ITEM. THE PIECE SEEMS TO COST ABOUT $2.00 FOR CHRYSLER TO MAKE HOWEVER, ONE WILL PAY $300-$400 OR MORE FOR THE DEALER TO FIX. TAKES MINUTES TO REPLACE IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ONE CAN FIND THE PART ONLINE AND REPLACE WITH METAL SO THAT IT WILL NOT BREAK AGAIN FOR ABOUT $50. CHRYSLER COMPLAINT LINE STATES THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX UNLESS NHTSB FILES A RECALL COMPLAINT. THEN I MAY GET REIMBURSED FOR MY COST.

ON APRIL 13, 2011, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ABRUPTLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE STALL. ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WAS LOST, ALONG WITH ENGINE STALLING. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AGAIN WHEN IT THEN SUDDENLY STARTED TO DRIVE ROUGH FOR APPROXIMATELY A COUPLE OF SECONDS, AS IF IT AGAIN WANTED TO STALL, BUT DIDN'T. AFTER THIS, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMAL. TOOK VEHICLE TO PEPBOYS ON THE SAME DAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED A 420 AND A 700 FAULT CODE. ON THURSDAY APRIL 14, 2011 TOOK VEHICLE TO ALLIANCE CHRYSLER DEALER IN FT. WORTH, TX. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND MENTIONED THAT MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN THE PCM/FUEL PUMP RECALL ISSUED AGAINST 2006 PACIFICAS. I ALSO MENTIONED THAT THIS RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE WHICH THEY CONFIRMED. HOWEVER, I RAISED CONCERNS ON WHETHER THE RECALL APPLICABILITY NEEDED TO BE EXPANDED TO COVER OTHER PACIFICAS. THE DEALER HAS YET TO FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM BESIDES TELLING ME THAT THEY CONFIRMED A 420 AND 700 FAULT CODE WHICH THEY STATED WOULD REQUIRE ME TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTING SOLENOID. I QUESTIONED WHETHER THE SUDDEN STALL OF THE VEHICLE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN A MISLEADING FAULT CODE. DEALER TECHNICIAN MENTIONED THAT THE STALL COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY A FAULTY TRANSMISSION SOLENOID. I MENTIONED THAT MY VEHICLE HAD SHOWN NO INDICATION OF A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM WITH THE GEAR SHIFT. BESIDES, IF A FAULTY TRANSMISSION SHIFT SOLENOID IS CAPABLE OF CAUSING A VEHICLE STALL, THEN THIS VEHICLE HAS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW SINCE A STALL WHILE DRIVING COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR A CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. DEALER MENTIONED THAT MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE FAILURE AND WOULD CONTINUE TO INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM AND GET BACK TO ME. AS OF APRIL 20, 2011, DEALER HAS BEEN UNABLE TO EXPLAINED WHY THE VEHICLE STALLED. I SUGGESTED THEY PERFORM THE 2006 PCM/FUEL PUMP RECALL FIX. *TR

DRIVING MY CAR, NO NOTICEABLE PROBLEMS. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND I SAW A LOT OF FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS EXTREMELY CONCERNED, CHECKED ALL MY FLUIDS WHICH WERE OK. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. I THEN STARTED NOTICING THE CAR RIDING "ROUGH" AND IDLING ROUGH ALONG WITH A 'BANGING" WHEN STARTING OR STOPPING AT REDLIGHTS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS NOT TOLD ANYTHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES (THERE FOR UNRELATED ITEM) AND WAS INFORMED I HAVE A BAD MOTOR MOUNT. HE ASKED IF I NOTICED 3 SPECIFIC ITEMS.. UH.. YAH... ALL THE THINGS I TOLD THE DEALER! WAITING FOR HIM TO CHECK OVER THE ENTIRE CAR RIGHT NOW TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE IS WRONG. (PROBLEM WITH THE HEAT AND I THINK WITH MY SUSPENSION). ALSO, THE HEAT WILL NOT STOP BLOWING ON THE WINDSHIELD (DEFROST) BARELY GIVES OFF HEAT TO FEET ETC. GOT SO HOT IT MELTED THE PLASTIC ON THE DASHBOARD WHERE THE DEFROST EMITS FROM...DEALER "CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM" BUT YET ALL I DO IS TURN ON THE CAR, SIT THERE 5 MINUTES AND TRY TO TURN THE HEAT TO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN DEFROST AND IT'S BLATANTLY OBVIOUS AS YOU CAN'T BREATHE FROM THE AMOUNT OF HOT AIR STILL BLOWING IN YOUR FACE OFF THE WINDSHIELD. CURRENTLY HAVE LOCAL MECHANIC LOOKING AT IT. PREVIOUS LOCAL MECHANIC FOUND ISSUE BUT WOULDN'T TEAR THE DASHBOARD APART TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO FIX IT. RECOMMENDED DEALER AS I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. DEALER CHARGED $88 DOLLARS TO LOOK AT CAR FOR ALL ABOVE ISSUES AND SAID NOTHING IS WRONG ... RATHER "CAN NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM". BULL! *TR

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?

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

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

UPON HEARING TICKING NOISE, WE TOOK OUR 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA INTO THE DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM CAUSED BY A BROKEN RETAINING PIN ON THE ROCKER ARM SHAFT. WHEN THE PIN BREAKS, THE SHAFT CAN SPIN THAT MAY BLOCK OIL PASSAGE THE ROCKER ARMS (WHICH CAUSES THE TICKING NOISE). THE ROCKER ARM SHAFTS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. NOW, WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE PEDESTAL KIT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR THANK YOU, NICOLE SCHILT
