2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Electrical System Problems

The car has a lot of dangerous problems. For one I had my truck diagnosed and code came back as gas cap. Then it was electric problems after the replacement of the gas cap. Check engine light was still on. So I went for another diagnostic now is coming up power train. Went to 3 to 6 transmission shops and all told me different reasons solenoid, pcm, Tcm, or maybe it’s just shot all together is what the last shop told me. That’s a $3,000 repair and that’s ridiculous after I had all those pieces replaced. My car stills doesn’t shift gears as I’m driving I can’t really go over 40 or 50 mph because of high rpm’s. The car doesn’t shift gears and I’m hearing a loud whining noise as I drive. I was on the high way and could get off fast enough because of high rpm’s and the car not shifting and also automatically switches from drive to auto-stick on it’s on. Pls Help Me

AFTER PUTTING IN GAS IN THE CAR IT WILL DIE AS IF IT IS NOT GETTING GAS AND WHEN FILLING UP I HAVE TO PUMP SLOW BECAUSE IT ACTS LIKE IT IS NOT TAKING THE GAS. ITS DIED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT ANY WARNING. IN TRAFFIC GOINF THROUGH A LIGHT IT SHUT OFF AS IF IT HAD NO GAS. THE CAR THEN WILL NOT TURN ON THE KEY TURNS OVER BUT SPUTTERS. ONCE I PUMP ON THE GAS AFTER 3 OR MORE ATTEMPTS IT COME ON. WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP AND AUTOZONE CODE GAVE P0461 FUEL LEVEL SENSOR A AS THE PROBLEM. THIS IS DANGEROUS AS THE CAR JUST SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING AND UNABLE TO START IN TRAFFIC OR JUST SHUTTING DOWN ON THE HIGHWAY. THE OIL LIGHT COMES ON AS WELL. THERES A NOISE LIKE A TICKING SOUND I CAN HEAR BY THE GAS TANK WHEN I SHUT OFF THE CAR. AS SOON AS I LEFT THE GAS STATION TODAY I HAD IT IN DRIVE ABOUT TO TURN ON THE STREET WITH TRAFFIC COMING AND IT SHUT OFF AND WOULS NOT TURN ON FOR ABOUT 10 MINUTES. I WAS LUCKY I DID NOT GET HIT.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AT A DEALER SHIP IN FEBRUARY 2017. I HAVE JUST HAD THE VEHICLE FOR 5 MONTHS. THE CAR HAD EVERYTHING RUNNING AND WHEN I SAY EVERYTHING RUNNING; I MEAN A/C WAS WORKING JUST FINE AS WELL AS THE HEATER AND ALL WINDOWS ROLLED UP AND DOWN. I HAD EVERYTHING UPDATED ON THIS VEHICLE. NOW 5 MONTHS LATER, I HAVE NEIGHBORS ON 7/25/2017 AT AROUND 2PM THAT WITNESSED MY CAR CATCHING ON FIRE. HOW? I DON'T KNOW AND I AM CONFUSED AND WORRIED BECAUSE I HAD JUST PULLED UP TO MY HOME WITH MY FIANCE. OUR CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE ON 7/25/17 I HAD TO CALL THE FIRE FIGHTERS TO COME OUT AND PUT THE FIRE OUT. THIS WAS THE MOST SCARIEST THING I HAVE EVER EXPERIENCED. I AM OVERWHELMED. THE FIRE FIGHTERS PUT THE FIRE OUT AND NOW I AM WITH NO VEHICLE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 3 THAT WORKS A DOUBLE SHIFT JUST TO MAKE A WAY IN LIFE. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN THIS EXPERIENCE AND FEAR FOR MY LIFE FROM HERE ON OUT. I AM SCARED TO DRIVE OR GET IN ANY CAR BECAUSE MIND YOU MY CAR HAD BEEN DRIVING PERFECTLY FINE. I AM DISGUSTED AT THE FACT THAT THERE ARE CRUEL PEOPLE OUT HERE WITH LICENSE DEALERSHIPS THAT ARE ABLE TO SELL VEHICLES WITH VEHICLES THAT CAN COST SOMEONE'S LIFE. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AND I AM REQUESTING AN EXPLANATION TO WHY THIS HAPPENED AND I WOULD LIKE SOME KIND OF REIMBURSEMENT FOR MY VEHICLE. ME AND MY CHILDREN DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO THROW AWAY I PAID FOR THIS CAR CASH. IF YOU NEED PROOF OF MY CAR I CAN SEND PICTURES AND REPORT FROM FIRE FIGHTERS. I CAN SEND YOU PROOF OF ME OWNING THE VEHICLE. I LOOK FORWARD TO SPEAKING WITH YOU SOON YOU MAY REACH ME AT [XXX] MY NAME IS [XXX] YOU MAY ALSO CALL ME VIA TELEPHONE AT [XXX]. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME. I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT DAY! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

MY DAUGHTER BROUGHT ME THIS CAR FOR MY BIRTHDAY 2007. I HAVE BEEN COMPLAINING SINCE 2007 ABOUT THE IGNITION. I WAS TOLD IT WAS THE KEY. I PURCHASE A NEW KEY, WELL THE KEY IS NOT THE PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND THE CAR WOULD JUST SHOUT OFF. I KEEP REPLACING BATTERIES AFTER BATTERIES. I FINALLY FOUND OUT IT IS THE IGNITION, THE WAY I FOUND OUT IS A CERTAIN WAY I HAD TO TURN THE KEY FOR THE CAR TO START. I REALLY LEARN TO LOVE MY CAR BUT I HAVE SO MANY ISSUES I DON'T KNOW WHETHER I WOULD ADVISE ANYMORE TO PURCHASE ONE. I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES UNTIL I BECAME VERY DISSATISFIED WITH THE COMPANY. I WOULD APPRECIATE IF YOU TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PROBLEM. THANKS THE CAR WOULD JUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE STREET. UNEXPLAINABLE.

HAVE OWNED A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS NOW - BOUGHT IT USED AND ENJOY MOST FEATURES OF THIS CAR HAVING WAITED FOR A FEW YEARS TO PURCHASE ONE AFTER HAVING RECURRING (AND COSTLY) REPAIR ISSUES WITH MY PREVIOUS CHRYSLER (CIRRUS.) HOWEVER, FOR THE PAST YEAR, I'VE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT STALLING ISSUES WITH MY CAR - WHILE OPERATING/DRIVING AND I AM NOW TERRIFIED OF THE WHAT "IFS" SINCE I THOUGHT WE'D RESOLVED THE ISSUE JUST OVER A MONTH AGO WHEN REPLACING MY EGR VALVE. THIS WAS A HUGE EXPENSE PARTICULARLY SINCE I'VE BEEN UNDEREMPLOYED FOR A WHILE NOW, BUT THEN AGAIN TODAY WHILE DRIVING WITH MY YOUNG DAUGHTER THE ISSUE HAPPENED AGAIN!! I TOO HAVE HAD MY SHARE OF BEING INCONVENIENCED BY TAKING TO MULTIPLE MECHANICS AND REPAIR SHOPS SAYING THEY NEED TO "MIMICK" THE ISSUE IN ORDER TO FIND THE PROBLEM. SINCE THIS ISSUE OCCURS INTERMITTENTLY, HOW IS THAT EXACTLY SUPPOSE TO HAPPEN??? CHRYSLER CORPORATE REALLY NEEDS TO STEP UP AND ADDRESS THIS ISSUE ASAP SINCE THIS APPEARS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE AND POSSIBLE DEFECT ON THE PRODUCTS THEMSELVES USED WHEN MANUFACTURING THIS CAR AND/OR A HUGE DEFECT OF THIS PARTICULAR MAKE AND MODEL OF VEHICLE, IN GENERAL! CHRYSLER - PLEASE HEAR US BEFORE YOU ALL ARE FACED WITH AN EVEN LARGER PENALTY THAN THE ONES USED TO RECENTLY BAIL YOU OUT - PLEASE DON'T MAKE A FURTHER MOCKERY OF THE PROCESS BY IGNORING THE VOICE OF YOUR CONSUMER ON SUCH A MAJOR HEALTH AND SAFETY CONCERN. TO ECHO THE WORDS OF ANOTHER COMPLAINT I CAME ACROSS IN MY RESEARCH OF THIS SPECIFIC ISSUE... THE PRICE TO REPLACE A DEFECT IS MUCH LESS THAN THAT OF A HUMAN LIFE!!

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.

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?

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 10-35 MPH, THE OIL AND ESP LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE, THEN THE ENGINE WILL SIMPLY CUT OFF / STALL. WE HAVE TO PUT ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHER WHILE IN TRAFFIC, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND RESTART. NO ENGINE LIGHT. WE BROUGHT THE PACIFICA IN TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES. THEY TRIED UPDATING THE SOFTWARE ON THE ECM WHICH DID NOT HELP. THEN, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BAD AND THE TORQUE OF THE ENGINE WAS PULLING ON THE FRONT WIRING HARNESS(ES), CAUSING THE STALLING ISSUE. WE HAD ALL 3 (FRONT, REAR, UPPER) ENGINE/MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE STILL HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS THE CAR AGAIN AND SAID THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT STILL LOOKS LIKE IT IS BAD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS REPLACED 4 DAYS AGO. BASED ON WHAT I'VE READ IN THE NHTSA DATABASE AND THE DODGE DEALERSHIP TELLING ME THAT MOTOR MOUNTS GO OUT ON A LOT OF PACIFICAS, THIS IS HAPPENING TO A LOT OF 2007 PACIFICA OWNERS. CHRYSLER SHOULD ABSOLUTELY RECALL THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND PROVIDE A MORE RELIABLE REPLACEMENT MOTOR MOUNT WITH A ROBUST DESIGN AT NO CHARGE TO ALL PACIFICA OWNERS. MY WIFE HAS REPORTED THAT SHE HAS ALMOST BEEN REAR ENDED SEVERAL TIMES AS A RESULT OF SUDDENLY STALLING WHILE DRIVING. TO HAVE THIS VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALL OUT WHILE MY WIFE IS TAKING MY 3 KIDS TO SCHOOL OR OTHER ACTIVITIES COULD CAUSE A CRASH AND IS POTENTIALLY LIFE THREATENING. I JUST WANT THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED. THE PACIFICA IS A WELL DESIGNED CAR AND WE LOVE THE INTERIOR BUT WE NEED RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. *TR

THEY SAID I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR EVERYTHING AND IF THAT DIDN'T FIX IT I WOULD HAVE TO SPEND MORE MONEY UNTIL THEY FOUND THE ACTUAL FIX.AND THE BEST PART IS WHEN THE CAR WAS UNDER WARRANTY THEY HAD TO REPROGRAM THE PCM. POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM). THIS CAR HAS ALWAYS BEEN KEPT IN TIP TOP SHAPE WITH ITS REGULAR MAINTENANCE, OIL CHANGES AND ETC... DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AT THIS POINT BECAUSE UNDER THE ADVICE OF MY MECHANIC, HE SAYS THIS CAR IS WAY TO NEW TO BE GIVING SO MANY PROBLEMS. ALL I KNOW IS THAT CHRYSLER WILL BE HEARING FROM MY ATTORNEY, BECAUSE FOR WHAT I KNOW THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME CHRYSLER HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PCM,TCM WHICH IS THE CARS COMPUTER. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP!!!! I CAN NOT DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE, I HAVE A 2 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND I REFUSE TO PUT HER IN A CAR THAT IS GOING CRAZY! *TT

THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AT LOW SPEEDS. WE HAVE TAKEN TO MECHANIC AND THEY DO NOT FIND ANY SERVICE ALERTS, AND WEREN'T ABLE TO DUPLICATE ON A TEST DRIVE. IT IS STARTING TO PICK UP IN FREQUENCY TO WHERE IT IS DOING IT EVERY OTHER DAY NOW. I ALSO CALLED THE SERVICE GROUP AT THE CHRSYLER DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM, AND THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY DO WHAT I HAD ALREADY DONE WITH THE OTHER MECHANIC SHOP. I WENT TO THE CHRYSLER FORUM TO POST AND SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS, AND SEE NUMEROUS POSTINGS OF THIS ISSUE OVER THE YEARS. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, AS WHEN THE CAR STALLS, IT LOCKS UP AND I LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART.
