A few weeks ago we took our car to a mechanic to have the brakes worked on as a part of routine maintenance. When we picked it up, he noted that when he had it up on the lift, he saw that the engine cradle was very badly rusted. He said that we shouldn't drive it anymore because of the risks involved. I tried to crawl under the car when we got home (there isn't a ton of clearance) but I saw what he was talking about. At that point we looked online and found hundreds and hundreds of similar experiences and complaints. We were left dumbfounded at the risks this introduces...thinking about what would happen if this mechanic hadn't noticed the issue and we'd been driving down the interstate with our kids when the thing decided to give way. And the fact that the manufacturer knows of this issue and has done nothing is beyond disgusting. Fortunately we found out from the mechanic, not from the engine falling out. Even still, this means that we're left with a worthless car. While our car is abandoned in the driveway hoping for Chrysler to right their wrong, we still see lots of similar vehicles on the road. I'm guessing that their owners don't know that they're driving death traps either. We had a 2008 Tacoma with similar frame rust issues and Toyota recalled it almost a decade after it was manufactured, and replaced the entire frame. Chrysler should have to do the same to repair their shoddy and negligent design, or at least compensate us for the complete loss of value so that we can have some money to put towards its replacement. I also think that this issue needs to be publicly noted for all similar model years. We'd purchased this from a Chrysler dealership, and had checked the Carfax and Consumer Reports before purchasing this vehicle, and none of them noted these issues even though the vehicle was a few years old at the time. Vehicle has been repaired.*JB

I BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR INSPECTION. I ALSO WANTED THEM TO CHECK THE MUFFLER. I WAS CONTACTED BY THE GARAGE, THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO INSPECT THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME UNDER THE ENGINE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY. THEY SAID EVEN IF THEY COULD REPLACE THE MUFFLER THERE WOULD BE NOTHING TO ATTACH IT TO. THAT'S HOW DETERIORATED IT IS. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THERE IS ANY RECOURSE I HAVE ? I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THIS DEFECT. THANK YOU, LARRY LA BELLA

I TOOK MY CAR IN TODAY TO HAVE SHOCKS PUT ON AND WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS SO SEVERELY RUSTED THE RACK AND PINION WAS ABOUT TO DROP OUT OF THE CAR ALONG WITH THE MOTOR.

ENGINE CRADLE ROTTING CAUSING INABILITY TO BE INSPECTED BY PERSONAL MECHANIC

Jan 28, 2020

I ALWAYS GOT MY PACIFICA CHECKED AND THE OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR BASIS AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP. THE LAST TIME I GOT AN OIL CHANGE, THEY ASKED ME TO COME OUT TO LOOK AT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE. THEY SHOWED ME WHERE MY "ENGINE CRADLE" WAS SO RUSTED, THE ENGINE WAS READY TO FALL OUT. I WAS MORTIFIED, BECAUSE I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE EVERY DAY. CHRYSLER QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $4000. I DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THEY DETERMINED THE CAR AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WENT HOME AND LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. CHRYSLER KNEW OF THIS ENGINE CRADLE RUST PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE OF CHRYSLER, AND ALL I GOT WAS THE RUN AROUND. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS, MY ENGINE COULD HAVE FALLEN OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN AND DON'T HAVE $4000 FOR A NEW ENGINE CRADLE. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO RECALL ALL THE CARS WITH THIS RUSTED CRADLE. VERY DANDEROUS, AND CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING TO COMPENSATE THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZZARD THAT IS LIFE THREATENING. MY VEHICLE IS VERY WELL KEPT, AND LOOKS LIKE NEW. I WAS THE ONLY DRIVER.

Sep 20, 2019

I HAVE FAILED MOTOR MOUNTS AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD MAKE A REPORT AS IT IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

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

Bought this car 3 months ago from Ford dealership, took it to mechanic shop today for oil change and was told car is "unsafe to drive" from frame being so rusted

Sep 19, 2022

Bought car from a private seller and wasn't informed of MASSIVE and UNSAFE DAMAGE TO ENGINE CRADLE. The engine cradle is nearly completely rotted out. Don't know if rust has eroded other parts until a mechanic can look extensively at the engine cradle. I have been trying salvage yards and 9 out of the 10 Pacifica's I have inquired about the engine cradle is rotted beyond repair. It has to be replaced. The fee for replacing and labor is going to be anywhere from $400 to $2500. and the vehicle has only 153÷k on it. This is a huge and reoccurring issue with the Chrysler Pacifica after I did research.

I AM HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. THE FUEL GAUGE WILL READ FULL AND WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE GETS TO HALF A TANK THE GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY. ALSO WHILE FILLING THE TANK THE NOZZLE FROM THE GAS PUMPS WILL ALWAYS CUT OFF, IT WILL PUMP A FEW DOLLARS AND THEN STOP AND YOU HAVE TO PUMP THE FUEL IN VERY SLOW. I HAVE CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP IN THE TANK THREE TIMES AND THE GAS TANK TWICE. NOTHING WORKS THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM NOW FOR ABOUT TWO YEARS. I HAVE BEEN STRANDED ON THE ROAD DUE TO THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPING TO EMPTY AND IT IS VERY SCARY.

MY GAS PEDAL STICKS. WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT THE PEDAL WILL NOT MOVE UNLESS I PUSH DOWN HARD ON IT. TO AVOID HITTING CARS BACKING OUT OR PARKING LOTS YOU HAVE TO USE FORCE ON THE PEDAL TO MOVE THE CAR AND IT JERKS FORWARD FAST WITH NO CONTROL OTHER THAN TO HOLD YOUR FOOT OVER THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME SO YOU DO NOT ACCELERATE INTO A VEHICLE.

I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND PULLED ON THE STEERING WHEEL (THE AUTOMATIC STEERING WAS OUT) WITH A LOT OF FORCE TO PUT MY BACK RIGHT TIRE ON THE CURB TO STOP SLIDING DOWN THE HILL. THEN I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR. I PULLED INTO THE NEXT AVAILABLE PARKING LOT TO RECOVER AND TRY TO EVALUATE MY CAR FOR WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THE SECOND ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MPH, MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP. THANKFULLY I WAS IN A LOW TRAFFIC AREA AND THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE FOLLOWING AT A SAFE DISTANCE. I WAS ABLE TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WHERE I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED THE CAR OFF, AND RESTARTED THE CAR WITHOUT ISSUE.

PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN 2013, INQUIRED ABOUT DEFECTS AND RECALLS BUT WAS TOLD THERE WAS NONE. VEHICLE HAD 46,000 MILES ON IT AT TIME OF PURCHASE 104K PRESENTLY. GOOD RUNNING VEHICLE UP TO PAR ON MAINTENANCE, WHICH ALL GOES TO WASTE WITH A ROTTED SUBFRAME. RESEARCHED 100'S POSSIBLY 1000'S OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE WITH THE SAME ISSUE, WHERE WAS MENTIONED NOTHING WAS DONE ABOUT IT. CONTACTED CHRYSLER MYSELF TO PUT IN COMPLAINT AND AGENT WOULD NOT EVEN FORWARD IT TO THE NEXT LEVEL BECAUSE THE LACK OF RECALL OR EXTENDED WARRANTY. THE COST FOR A NEW FRAME FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER IS OVER 2K AND COST JUST AS MUCH TO REPLACE. BUT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER FOR WEEKS. (COULD THIS MEAN THERE ARE SO MANY PEOPLE IN LINE WAITING TO ORDER AND NEEDING THIS PARTICULAR PART?) CANNOT TRUST USED PARTS BECAUSE OF MANY CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS HAD TO SALVAGE THEIR VEHICLE FOR THE SAME REASON. MORE OF AN INVESTIGATION SHOULD BE DONE INTO THIS. IN THE MIDST OF A PANDEMIC WHO CAN AFFORD THESE OUTRAGEOUS, UNEXPECTED REPAIR COSTS OR EVEN A NEW VEHICLE. MY ONLY OPTION IS TO SALVAGE IT FOR WAY LESS THAT IT'S WORTH, AS I MENTIONED IT DRIVE GREAT! I CANNOT SELL IT TO ANYONE ELSE KNOWING THE SAFETY HAZARD IT HAS ON IT AND I CANNOT AFFORD A CAR PAYMENT. I AM FEARFUL OF MY ENGINE FALLING OUT OF THE BOTTOM IF I DRIVE IT. SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE, TOO MANY VEHICLES WITH THE SAME ISSUE. FORCE A RECALL ON CHRYSLER FOR THEIR ROTTED SUBFRAMES.

MY CAR WAS BUILT IN 2005 WHEN THE SUBFRAME RECALL WAS ISSUED, I CALLED THEM TO TRY AND GET SOME HELP, BASICALLY GET REIMBURSED FOR THE LABOR OF GETTING THE REPLACEMENT SUBFRAME INSTALLED. THE OLD SUBFRAME FINALLY BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING AT CITY SPEEDS AND I WAS LUCKY THAT THE SHOP I USED LET ME KNOW. WHEN I CONTACTED THEM, THE STATEMENT WAS THAT DUE TO THE AGE AND CURRENT MILEAGE OF THE CAR, WE CAN NOT HELP YOU. NOW IF I HAD OF BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP OR DRIVING AT THE SPEED LIMIT THIS WOULD HAVE CAUSE SOME SERIOUS DAMAGE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE TO ANYONE WHO HAS THIS VEHICLE AND HAS RUN OUT OF WARRANTY TO GET IT REPLACED. BELOW ARE PHOTOS OF THE OLD SUBFRAME AND THE DOOR STICKER

TOOK TO DEALERSHIP WHO SAID REAR SUSPENSION HAD COLLAPSED THE WEIGHT FROM THIS HAD SHREDDED BOTH NEW BACK TIRES DOWN TO STEEL BELT $1200 REPAIR BILL...ALSO UNDERCARRIAGE IS STARTING TO RUST OUT, HAVE SEEN COMPLAINTS OF THIS ON INTERNET..CHRYSLER WILL DO NOTHING. *TR

Dec 15, 2016

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA CRADLE IS RUSTING OUT AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT CHANGED MY OIL SAID IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THEM THAT THE 2004 AND 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAD RECALLS ON THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2006. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER UP TO REPORT THIS ISSUE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN # IS NOT ON THE RECALL AND CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. BUT AS I READ ON HERE CHRYSLER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE MY GRANDSON IN MY CAR A LOT OF THE TIME AND I HOPE AND PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO EITHER ONE OF US WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. *TR

STEERING

14 complaints

BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON, STEERING STARTED TO LOCK UP, THEN BATTERY LIGHT WHEN OFF. THIS HAPPENED WHEN DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL ON HIGHWAY SPEED LIMIT WAS 35 MPH, I GOT TO SCHOOL,TURNED INTO PARKING LOT,SCHOOL ENTRANCE, BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON LOST STEERING COMPLETELY. THANK GOODNESS NO CARS OR CHILDREN WERE IN THE PARKING LOT. I DID NOT HIT ANYTHING.THANKFULLY.

Nov 03, 2015

THE CAR SINCE ALMOST NEW HAS HAD AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES TURNING SLOWLY AND HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AT SPEEDS TO 40 MPH AND THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT IS TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED BY OTHER OWNERS. THANKS.

May 26, 2015

THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE TIE RODS SO THERE WAS COMPLETELY NO STEERING. I WAS TURNING FROM A MAIN ROAD TO A SIDE ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. I AM INCLUDING A REPAIR BILL FROM A CHRYSLER-JEEP DEALER AND I FEEL THIS INCIDENT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE TO COME APART. I THEREFORE WOULD APPRECIATE TO REFUND MY EXPENSES $1,279.90 PLUS $45 TOWING EXPENSE. UPDATED 3/31/14*CN

Mar 23, 2014

WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CIRCLE I YIELDED THEN SLOWLY PROCEEDED AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AREA. THE STEERING WENT. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY GET IT TO A MECHANIC COME TO FIND OUT THE CRADLE HAD RUSTED, BROKE AND FELL AFFECTING THE STEERING. HE INFORMED ME IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR ME TO BE DRIVING IT AND THAT I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY WITH MY 2 KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME. AFTER PROCESSING A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER, HAVING IT TOWED THERE (AT MY EXPENSE) AND HAVING THE REGIONAL MANAGER TAKE A LOOK THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DID SOME RESEARCH. THE 2004 & 2005 CRADLES ARE BEING COVERED BY CHRYSLER BUT NOT THE 2006 MODEL WHICH HAS THE EXACT SAME FRAME. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN, LUCKILY HAVE MANAGED TO PAY OFF THE CAR WITH NO PAYMENTS AND NOW STUCK PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR UNTIL I FIGHT THIS ISSUE FURTHER. (LIKE MANY WORKING PAY CHECK TO CHECK TO GET BY) I FIND IT IRONIC THAT THEIR VERY OWN SERVICE MANAGER WAS "SHOCKED" THAT THEY AREN'T OFFERING TO FIX IT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY 70MPH WHEN IT BROKE AND MY STEERING WAS COMPROMISED ENDING IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. SO I'M POSTING ON HERE WITH THE HOPES OF SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE HELPING ME WITH THIS PROCESS. I KNOW FROM SEARCHING THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE DEALING WITH THE SAME RUST ISSUE AND FEELING HELPLESS. I CAN'T AFFORD A CAR PAYMENT OR THE $3000 TO GET IT FIXED NOR SHOULD I !!! IT HAS $87,500 MILES ON IT AND MANY MORE YEARS ON IT TO DRIVE HAD THIS NOT OCCURRED. I ALSO DON'T WANT IT ON MY CONSCIOUS SHOULD SOMEONE DIE FROM THIS ISSUE IN THE FUTURE. SOMEONE PLEASE HELP. *TR

WHEN IT IS RAINING OUTSIDE OR I GO OVER A PUDDLE, MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP. I NOTICED LATELY THAT THE BATTERY LIGHT GOES ON AS WELL BUT THEN GOES OFF AFTER I REGAIN CONTROL OF THE STEERING WHEEL. I AM SOOOO SCARED TO DRIVE THIS CAR AND DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. I CANNOT REPLICATE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE OF THE FACT THAT IT HAS TO BE RAINING FOR IT TO HAPPEN AND AT THE SAME TIME ITS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE UNDER WET CONDITIONS! HELP!! *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK A GOOD SAMARITAN PULLED ME OVER AND ADVISED ME THE GAS WAS POURING OUT OF MY CAR, CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY PLUGGED LEAK AND I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED ME THERE WAS QUESTIONABLE DAMAGE TO THE TANK AND IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING WAS RUN OVER OR HIT BUT CORNER OF GAS TANK WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED, LOST 3/4 TANK OF GAS ON ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED OVER MY VEHICLE, I CALLED INSURANCE COMPANY TO REPORT INCIDENT. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE GAS TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE FUEL NECK FILLER VALVE AND BOTH FUEL PUMPS. I HAD ALL THE SUGGESTED WORK DONE AND TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING MY CAR BACK I WOULD NOTICE THE TANK GO FROM 1/2 TANK TO EMPTY QUICKLY, NO LEAKING GAS SO I WOULD TRY TO PUT IN GAS AND ONLY ABLE TO PUT IN 2-3 GALLONS AT A TIME, IT THEN SHOOTS FROM EMPTY TO HALF TANK BACK DOWN, BACK UP AND DOWN. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AGAIN AND THEY DETERMINED INSTEAD OF THE USED GAS TANK A BRAND NEW ONE WAS NECESSARY. GOT MY CAR BACK ON 12/30 IMMEDIATELY WENT TO PUT GAS IN SINCE THEY HAD TO DRAIN TANK AND ONCE AGAIN THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED. I CANNOT PUT MORE THAN 2-3 GALLONS IN GAUGE FLUCTUATES BETWEEN 1/2 TANK TO EMPTY, RAN OUT OF GAS ON HIGHWAY CAR STALLED IN LEFT LANE LUCKILY I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER GET IT TOWED WHERE THEY TOLD ME IT HAD GAS IN IT, THEY PUT IN 2 GALLONS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND IT STARTED RIGHT UP. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND AM SCARED TO DRIVE AROUND THREE KIDS IN CAR IF IT IS GOING TO STALL. THERE SEEMS TO BE A PROBLEM WITH FUEL SYSTEM. CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ASSIGNED ME A CASE MANAGER AND CASE NUMBER AND PROMISED TO WORK WITH DEALERSHIP TO GET CAR FIXED. I HAVE ALREADY BEEN WITHOUT MY CAR 4 TIMES AND A TOTAL OF 5 WEEK SINCE I BOUGHT CAR ON 9/07/16. I WOULD LOVE A SOLUTION AS I LOVE THE CAR. *TR

BUT THE NOTICE DID NOT GO OUT UNTIL LATE PART NOV 2006. A DECENT COMPANY WOULD HAVE ENDED THE RECALL AS DEC 2006.

ON THAT SAME RECALL BULLETIN MY VIN WAS INCLUDED , BUT AS I CONTINUE TO READ THE RECALL BULLETIN , IT STATED THAT ALL VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED WITHIN THIS VIN SERIES.

ON THE EVENING OF MONDAY, OCTOBER 11, 2010, WE DROPPED OUR CAR OFF AT A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. THE PURPOSE FOR THIS DROP OFF WAS TO DETERMINE WHY THE ABS LIGHT WAS ON, AND WOULD NOT GO OFF. THE NEXT MORNING WE RECEIVED A CALL FROM A SERVICE TECHNICIAN EXPLAINING THAT OUR COMPUTER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED, AND THAT THEY HAD DISCOVERED AN ADDITIONAL PROBLEM WITH THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS. THE TECHNICIAN WENT ON TO EXPLAIN THAT THE MAIN WIRING HARNESS HAD COMPLETELY MELTED, AND HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND WHY 'THE CAR DID NOT CATCH ON FIRE." AFTER AN "INVESTIGATION," CHRYSLER'S LEGAL DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE ISSUE WAS NOT A MANUFACTURING DEFECT, AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY REASON FOR THE FIRE, BUT ONLY OFFERED THAT IT EXTINGUISHED ITSELF. WE CONTACTED OUR INSURANCE COMPANY, AND THEY RULED IT A FIRE, AND REPAIRED THE WIRING HARNESS. WE WERE RESPONSIBLE FOR REPAIRING THE ABS LIGHT MALFUNCTION. *TR

I HAVE OWNED THIS 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FWD TOURING MODEL SINCE BRAND NEW. WE LIVE IN MICHIGAN SO OF COURSE THERE ARE WINTER ISSUES ASSOCIATED WITH CARS IN GENERAL. HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION GARAGE KEPT ALL OF ITS LIFE UNLESS DRIVING, NO SURFACE RUST,ETC ETC. BASICALLY A GREAT CAR. I WENT TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME BY THE WAY THERE IS A BIG RUT HOLE IN THE SUB FRAME AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE THAT LOOKED AT. HE ALSO STATED IT LOOKS STRANGE BECAUSE THE REST OF THE CAR IS IN SUCH GREAT SHAPE. I HAD NEW STRUTS AND TIE ROD INSTALLED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO SO I TOOK IT IN THERE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT NEXT. I WAS THEN TOLD THIS IS AMAZING, BUT WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE ON THESE CHRYSLER PACIFICAS! (RED FLAG). THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH THE DEALER BECAUSE THERE IS PROBABLY A RECALL ON IT. I THEN CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME HE KNOWS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AND TOOK MY VIN NUMBER OVER THE PHONE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES HE TOLD ME THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS CASE AND UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT COVER MY VIN. THEN HE SUGGESTED I CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN AND SEE WHERE IT GETS ME. (NICE). AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM THE STORY AND HOW IT BASICALLY RENDERS MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY FOR A 6 WEEK PERIOD IN 2004 AND I DID NOT QUALIFY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET NOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DRIVE AROUND WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THIS THING IS A TIME BOMB AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WARN ALL CURRENT OWNERS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED!

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING WITH UNDER 87,000 MILES. WHEN I WENT TO HAVE THE STATE INSPECTION PERFORMED I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE ENGINE CRADLE. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND NEEDS OVER $3,600 OF REPAIR WORK DONE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND CAN NOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF REPAIR COST. I FIND IT CRAZY THAT A CAR UNDER 10 YEARS OLD SHOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF RUST DAMAGE. THE VISIBLE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS IN PERFECT SHAPE, BUT THE UNDERSIDE IS TOTALLY CORRODED! WHEN I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE, I WAS AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY DAUGHTER, AS ONE GOOD POT HOLE COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FALL OUT AND KILL BOTH OF US OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD AROUND US. I WILL PAYING FOR YEARS ON A CAR I CANT EVEN DRIVE NOR IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE. I FIND IT EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO STEP UP AND DO RIGHT BY ITS CUSTOMERS. IT WILL ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THIS CAR. *TR

LIKE OTHER EARLY MODEL CHRYSLER PACIFICAS NOTED ON THE NHTSA SITE- MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP INFORMED ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE ENGINE CRADLE/ SUBFRAME BEING RUSTED/ROTTED OUT SO BADLY YOU COULD SEE THROUGH IT. THEY SAID THAT IF A LARGE ENOUGH BUMP WAS ROLLED OVER, THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT AND A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR AS THE VEHICLE WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY LOSE CONTROL. I AM NOW AFRAID TO ALLOW MY WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN TO DRIVE IN IT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FOR ROUGHLY $10,000 LESS THAN A YEAR PRIOR TO LEARNING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE FROM A CHRYSLER USED AND NEW CAR DEALER-BRYDEN MOTORS IN BELOIT, WI. I ALSO PURCHASED AN $2000 EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH OF COURSE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS NOT COVERED IN SUCH A PLAN. I BELIEVE THE DAMAGE WAS THERE PRIOR TO PURCHASE AND THE DEALER EITHER FAILED TO INFORM ME, OR DIDN'T PERFORM A WELL CARED FOR INSPECTION PRIOR TO THE SALE. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER-THEY SAID IT WAS TOO FAR OUT FROM THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THEY DID TAKE PICTURES AND SEND TO THE CHRYSLER "IMAGING DEPARTMENT" WHERE THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT CLAIM I ASKED FOR THEM TO PLACE FOR ME WAS IMMEDIATELY DENIED FOR COVERAGE. I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL MEDIA IF NECESSARY. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE PACIFICA MODEL AND DUE TO THE EXPENSE INVOLVED TO FIX (WAS TOLD BETWEEN $2500-$5000) ABSOLUTELY RUINS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE FROM WHAT I THOUGH WAS A REPUTABLE DEALER AND A REPUTABLE BRAND SUCH AS CHRYSLER. THIS IS MY 4RD CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 19 YEARS, AND IF THE MATTER IS NOT RESOLVED, IT WILL ULTIMATELY BE MY LAST. *TR

IT'S THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

Apr 10, 2012

DRIVERS SIDE HEADLAMP WORKED INTERMITTANTLY AND THEN LOST POWER. THERE IS NO POWER LEADING TO THE LOW BEAM HEADLAMP ASSY. 2005 MODELS HAD A RECALL FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT CHRYSLER TELLS ME THAT MY 2006 SHOWS NO RECALLS PER MY VIN. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS THAT MY HEADLIGHTS CAN FAIL WHILE DRIVING AND CAUSE A CRASH. ALSO REPLACING BULBS WILL NOT HELP THIS SITUATION BECAUSE THE PROBLEM IS IN THE INTEGRATED POWER MODULE (FUSE BOX). SO YOU CANNOT EVEN DRIVE YOUR CAR HOME IF THIS PROBLEM HAPPENS TO YOU ON THE ROAD. VERY DANGEROUS AND A HORRIBLE DESIGN BY CHRYSLER. *TR

JUST TOOK MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR ANNUAL NYS INSPECTION AS WAS TOLD IT FAILED DUE TO SEVERE ROTTING OF THE MAIN ENGINE CRADLE AND IT WAS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN. THIS CAME AS A TOTAL SHOCK AS THE CAR HAS SHOWN NO OTHER RUSTING OF ANY BODY PARTS AND HAS BEEN A MECHANICALLY SOUND VEHICLE UNTIL THIS POINT. THE MECHANIC SHOWED ME UNDERNEATH THE CAR AND THE OTHER UNDER CARRIAGE COMPONENTS ARE IN ACCEPTABLE SHAPE, ONLY THE CRADLE IS RUSTED THROUGH. I DROVE IT TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY CHRYSLER AND THAT I SHOULD CALL CHRYSLER AND REPORT THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER ESTIMATE FOR REPAIR WAS $4400.00! I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY FROM DEALERSHIP AND AFTER SOME REVIEW I WAS TOLD THERE WAS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE FOR ME!! I NOW HAVE A JUNK VEHICLE WITH NO RESALE POSSIBILITY AND I CANT AFFORD A $4400 REPAIR NOR CAN I ALLOW MY WIFE OR MYSELF TO DRIVE IT WITHOUT THE REPAIR BEING DONE AS IT IS UNSAFE. PLEASE HELP ME GET CHRYSLER TO STEP UP AND FIX THE CRADLE AS I HAVE SEEN MASSIVE AMOUNTS OF SIMILAR COMMENTS ONLINE ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND PEOPLE ARE BEING PUT AT GREAT RISK! CHRYSLER HAS REPAIRED THIS ISSUE AT THEIR COST FOR CERTAIN 2004 AND 2005 PACIFICAS....I MAINTAIN THEY ARE RESPONSIBLE AS WELL TO REPAIR MY 2006 UNDER RECALL AS WELL!! THEY ARE FULLY AWARE THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTS! *TR

I WAS PERFORMING A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB ON MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE ON MY VEHICLE IS RUSTED OUT. I DON'T MEAN SURFACE RUST, THERE ARE ACTUAL HOLES IN THE ENGINE CRADLE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FIND IT TOTALLY RIDICULOUS FOR CHRYSLER NOT TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS MY NO MEANS NORMAL, I OWN A 1965 THUNDERBIRD WITH NOT A BIT OF ROT ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. WHAT THE HELL IS CHRYSLER AND/OR THE NHTSA WAITING FOR TO RECALLED AND REPAIR THESE FAULTY VEHICLES , SOMEONE TO DIE FIRST ? YOUR AGENCY WILL HAVE SOMEONE'S BLOOD ON YOU HANDS ALSO IF SOMEONE DIES IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THIS DEFECT.I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT CHRYSLER IS PAYING YOU GUYS OFF OR SOMETHING. ALL THIS BRINGS TO MIND THE FIASCO OF THE CHRYSLER 2.7L ENGINE THAT FAILED IN THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THAT ENGINE. NO RECALL WAS EVER FORCED UPON CHRYSLER FOR THAT DEBACLE AND I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THE SAME THING WILL APPLY HERE ALSO. PEOPLE SPEND GOOD MONEY FOR THESE FLAWED VEHICLES THEN WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER BOTH BASICALLY SAY THE HELL WITH THE CONSUMER. THERE IS NO WAY THE NHTSA CAN BELIEVE THAT AN ENGINE CRADLE ROTTING OUT IN 8-9 YEAR AND IN A LOT OF CASES LESS TIME THAN THAT IS ACCEPTABLE. I THOUGHT THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION WAS HERE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND SEE THAT THESE TYPE OF THINGS DON'T HAPPEN.PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW AND WHY CHRYSLER IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. OHHH, I KNOW, NO ONE HAS DIED YET !!! *TR

WE BOUGHT OUR 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WITH 110,000 MILES I THINK. THE INSPECTION STICKER WAS NEW AND NOW A YEAR LATER OUR ENTIRE ENGINE CRADLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND WONT TAKE A STICKER WHATSOEVER. THERE'S NO WAY THIS KIND OF RUST IS NORMAL AND WHEN I WENT ONLINE I SAW THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND A NEW CRADLE IS 2,500 WITHOUT INSTALLATION THIS IS CHRYSLERS FAULT WE ALWAYS WASHED THE CAR DURING WINTER MONTHS AT THE CARWASH. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAD THE ROOM GREAT SAFETY FEATURES AND NOW I FIND OUT ITS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND WE GOTTA EAT THIS COST. IM GOING TO OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER BECAUSE THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND CHRYSLER ONLY HELPED WITH COST ON SO MANY CARS AND THE SAME ENGINE CRADLE FITS 04,05 AND 06 PACIFICAS SO ALL THESE CARS SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MATERIAL THEY USED. ANY HELP ON HOW OR WHO TO CONTACT I KNOW WERE NOT ALONE I THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

Sep 13, 2014

I TOOK MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR NEW TIRES AND A NEW YORK STATE INSPECTION. THE MECHANIC HAD THE CAR ON THE LIFT AND TOLD ME THE ENGINE CRADLE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTED/ROTTED OUT AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE IS 8 YEARS OLD AND HAS ONLY APPROXIMATELY 55,000 MILES. THE RIGHT AND LEFT SECTIONS OF THE ENGINE CRADLE SUB FRAME WHERE THERE IS WELDING ARE THE ONLY SECTIONS OF THE FRAME THAT ARE RUSTED/ROTTED OUT TO THE POINT WHERE YOU COULD STICK A FINGER THROUGH THE ROTTED OUT SECTION (CAN PROVIDE PICTURES IF NEEDED). I CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S NATIONAL CUSTOMER SUPPORT AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE NUMBER AND TOLD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO A LOCATE DEALERSHIP FOR DIGITAL IMAGING THAT WOULD HELP CHRYSLER DETERMINE IF IT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT OR ALTERNATIVELY OWNER CAUSED. I DID AS INSTRUCTED AND WAS TOLD A FEW DAYS LATER THAT THE FRAME ROT WAS NOT A FACTORY DEFECT BUT RATHER OWNER CAUSED. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP PROVIDED AN ESTIMATE OF REPAIR OF APPROXIMATELY $5,000. AFTER A BRIEF INTERNET SEARCH, I REALIZED THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT THE PACIFICA OWNERS LIKE MYSELF AND THE GENERAL PUBLIC HAVE NOT BEEN MADE AWARE OF. PER MY MECHANIC AND OTHER GOVERNMENT DEPARTMENTS THAT I HAVE DISCUSSED THIS ISSUE WITH, IF THE ENGINE CRADLE SUB FRAME WERE TO GIVE OUT WHILE THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN, A SERIOUS AND POTENTIALLY DEADLY ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR. NEEDLESS TO SAY, THE CAR WILL NOT BE DRIVEN BY MY FAMILY UNTIL REPAIRED AS I WON'T RISK THE POTENTIAL CONSEQUENCE. I'M FILING THIS COMPLAINT WITH THE HOPE THAT AT MINIMUM PACIFICA OWNERS ARE NOTIFIED OF THE POTENTIAL FOR FRAME ROT TO PROACTIVELY REDUCE THE CHANCE OF THE INEVITABLE ACCIDENT. ALSO, I AM DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER FOR NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS ISSUE AS OTHER CAR MANUFACTURERS SUCH AS TOYOTA, HYUNDAI AND FORD HAVE WHEN PRESENTED WITH SIMILAR SAFETY ISSUES. *TR

MY ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I DRIVE MY CAR EVERY DAY TO TAKE MY CHILDREN TO DAYCARE AND THEN TO WORK. WHILE DRIVING MY CAR, MY BRAKES WILL START GRINDING AND THEN THE BRAKES WILL FAIL. I HAVE LUCKILY NOT BEEN IN ANY ACCIDENTS, BUT HAVE RAN STOP SIGNS AND STOP LIGHTS DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO STOP. I HAVE COME INCHES FROM HITTING OTHER CARS. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME THAT I DRIVE THE CAR. IT WILL START TO HAPPEN WITHIN THE FIRST FOUR TO FIVE MILES AND I DRIVE ROUGHLY 20 MILES A DAY JUST TO WORK. I HAVE TAKEN MY CAR INTO LES SCHWAB AND THEY SAY MY BRAKES AND PADS ARE FINE. THEY FLUSHED THE BRAKES AND RE-BLED THEM TO SEE IF THAT WOULD DO ANYTHING, BUT IT HAS NOT. I HAVE SEARCHED ON LINE AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF OWNERS FOR THE 2006 PACIFICA STATING THE SAME PROBLEMS, AND ANY TIME THEY FIX A SENSOR WHICH IS WHAT THE READER CODE IS COMING UP, THE SAME THING HAPPENS AND SAYS IT'S THE SENSOR AGAIN. IT REALLY CONCERNS ME THAT THERE HAS NOT BEEN A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE YET. WHAT DOES IT TAKE? SOMEONE TO DIE BEFORE THIS VEHICLE IS RECALLED? EVERY DAY I HAVE TO WONDER IF MY CHILDREN AND I WILL BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE OF THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T MAKE A LOT OF MONEY, HAVE 3 CHILDREN TO SUPPORT AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BY ANOTHER CAR. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE TO GET TO WORK. I AM PLEADING TO PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, TAKE THIS PROBLEM SERIOUSLY AND TO SAVE THE LIVES OF THESE MANY OWNERS AND FAMILIES OF THE 2006 PACIFICA. WHAT IF YOU AND YOU'RE FAMILY OWNED THIS VEHICLE?

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.

I CONDUCTED AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL CHRYSLER AND DODGE PRODUCTS HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. 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. THE PINK PLASTIC PIECE CAN BREAK AT ANY TIME LEAVING THE DRIVER STRANDED ANYWHERE AT ANY TIME, E.G. THE DRIVE THRU., PARKING STRUCTURE AT NIGHT, ETC.. *TR

I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS INTERNAL DAMAGE AND THEY WANTED $1000 JUST TO DROP THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE THEY FIXED ANYTHING.THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 80000 MILES ON IT. WHEN IT ONLY HAD 36000 MILES THE ENGINE THREW A ROD AND I HAD TO SPEND $3000 FOR A NEW ENGINE. I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT PACIFICA'S BURN A QUART OF OIL ABOUT EVERY 1000 MILES.

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHEN REMAINING STILL, OR IF DRIVING IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF. TURNING LEFT AROUND A ROUND ABOUT IT WILL SHUT OFF. RECENTLY WHEN STOPPED IT WILL IDLE HIGH THEN SPUTTER AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF, SOMETIMES IT DOES. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR VEHICLES MADE UP TO THE DATE NOVEMBER 2004. MINE WAS MANUFACTURED MAY 2005, SHOULD THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVEN THOUGH MINE WAS MANUFACTURED ONE YEAR LATER AND STILL CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? JUST A NOTE, I HAVE YOUNG KIDS IN MY CAR. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE, IN RESEARCHING I NOTICES THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT RUSTING ENGINE MOUNTS OR BREAKING OF ENGINE MOUNTS. AS MAY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ, I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE AN ENGINE MOUNT THAT IS RUSTED AND WORN OUT. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL THE 900 AND SOMETHING COMPLAINTS IN FORUMS, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE FIXED. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT MY 2006 PACIFICA SHOULD BE IN THE STALLING RECALL NOTICE AND BE FIXED ALSO.

SAFETY HAZARD PRIMARY FUEL PUMP CRACK ON EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP NOZZLE. EXTERNAL HOSE CONNECTING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FUEL PUMPS ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE WAS ~3-5 CM TOO SHORT. HOSE WAS STRETCHED TO CONNECT FUEL PUMPS, EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE CONNECTOR NOZZLE TO CRACK (BREAK) AND LEAK FUEL.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT EMITS A STRONG NATURAL GAS SMELL. THE PROBLEM STARTED 3 DAYS AGO (2/20/10). I WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TODAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CONFIRMED THE SMELL OF NATURAL GAS, BUT COULD NOT OFFER A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THEY DROVE THE CAR AND UPON BRAKING AND ACCELERATION THE FUMES WERE EMITTED. THE CHRYSLER MECHANICS SAID THAT 'THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING MECHANICAL THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SMELL.' MY LUNGS HURT AND MY NERVES ARE REALLY GETTING BAD! JUST BY DRIVING AROUND TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN FIX IT! I DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND I'M STILL AFFECTED BY THE FUMES. WE JUST HAD A SNOW STORM AND I'M FREEZING IN MY CAR, TRYING TO BREATHE! I LIVE IN DETROIT, WE ARE THE HARDEST HIT BY THIS RECESSION AND I NEED A CAR TO KEEP MY JOB! I HAVE TO TRAVEL TO MY CUSTOMERS. I DON'T HAVE ANOTHER VEHICLE, NOR CAN I AFFORD ONE. PLEASE HELP. *TR

BOUGHT CAR 2018 FEB . NO MENTION OF WHOLE UNDER CARRIAGE RUSTED OUT - 2004-2008 CHRYSLER FORGOT TO SPRAY FOR RUST. WHEN WE GO WE BOUGHT IT LATER IN EVENING - WAS ASSURED THAT CAR HAD BEEN CHECKED OUT AND SOUND. WE HAVE DONE SOME REPAIRS ON OTHER THINGS - THERMOSTAT , RADIATOR , TIRES ABS SENSOR ISSUE BUT THERE WAS NO MENTION OF UNDERSIDE BEING RUSTED FROM FRONT TO BACK - TWO YEARS AND THE ENGINE IS GOING TO FALL OUT AND CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CAR WAS SUBMERGED IN WATER SOMEWHERE BEFORE WE RECEIVED. THIS IS THE SHORTER VERSION OF THIS SITUATION. ALIGNMENT IS NOW WAY OFF , PULLS TO ONE SIDE OUT OF NOWHERE. WEARING ON TIRES- JUST TOOK IT INTO HEARTLAND TIRE BY HOUSE AND TOLD DO NOT DRIVE AND THAT FIXING IT WOULD BE OVER 3500 OR MORE.

THE CROSS MEMBER THAT SUPPORTS THE DRIVE TRAIN IS RUSTED AT THE JOINTS WHERE IT MEETS THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THIS AFFECTS BOTH STEERING AND SHIFTING, AS THE MOTOR WILL ACTUALLY SHIFT ON INITIAL PULL OFF; AND BECAUSE THE STEERING IS ANCHORED ON THE SAME MEMBER, LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAN ALSO BE FELT. I NOTICED THE RUSTING ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I WENT TO DO MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AS THE CAR OWNER. ON 9/12/2017 I WAS RIDING HOME AND HEARD A METALLIC CLANK, AS IF SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OFF OF THE VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVING AT HOME, I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CROSS MEMBER IS RUSTING AND TWISTING UNDER THE LOAD OF THE ENGINE. I AM LEARY ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT IT IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.

ENGINE MOUNT/CRADLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH. THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE 100,000 MILES YET. THIS ISSUE PROBABLY STARTED YEARS AGO AND NO MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER ISN'T COVERING 2006 MODELS EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR WAS DANGEROUS, BUT THIS IS A VERY COSTLY FIX - MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH - CONSIDERING CHRYSLER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT COATING THE ENGINE CRADLE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. IT IS AFFECTING STEERING AND HANDLING OF CAR AS WELL.

I TOOK MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP BECAUSE I COULDN'T PASS THE IL EMISSIONS TEST. I WAS TOLD THAT MY SUBFRAME WAS VERY RUSTED AND HOLES WERE IN IT. 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. I STILL OWE ON THE VEHICLE AND CAN'T AFFORD ANOTHER. PLEASE DO SOMETHING! *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 WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON A TRIP TO OHIO FROM ILLINOIS BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I ONLY DRIVE IT IN TOWN BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. APPARENTLY THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, SOMEONE TO BE STRANDED IN EXTREME COLD/HEAT. IT'S UNRELIABLE AND A MAJOR THREAT TO SOMEONE'S SAFETY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

THE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND I COULD STICK MY HAND IN IT. AT ANY POINT IN TIME IT COULD HAVE COMPLETELY FELL OFF AND WRECKED MY VEHICLE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOW WE ARE GOING TO BE STUCK WITH THE REPAIR BILL. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE WITH AN AGENT NAMED BRITTNEY WHOSE ONLY RESPONSE WAS I AM SORRY THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. EVEN AFTER EXPLAINING ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THEY DO NOT CARE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO COVER ALL VEHICLES. I ONLY HAVE 75,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE CRADLE IS THE ONLY PART RUSTED. CHRYSLER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT JUST THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE 2004 OR 2005 RANGE.

THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON WITH THE DING SOUND TO ALERT YOU AND THEN IT WOULD FREEZE UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND LUCKILY IN BOTH INCIDENTS I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER AND OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I WOULD PUT THAT CAR IN TO PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAS TESTED THE CAR BUT CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. AND IN BOTH INCIDENTS I HAD MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT LETTER. ALSO ANOTHER ISSUES IS THE BACK TAILGATE WILL NOT STAY UP IN COLD WEATHER AND HAS COME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD MORE THAN ONCE. THAT IS VERY PAINFUL AND STARTLING TO HAVE HAPPEN TO YOU WHEN YOU ARE PUTTING GROCERIES IN YOUR CAR. MY CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLACE ANYTHING IN THE BACK BECAUSE I FEAR THAT THEY WILL BE CRUSHED AND THAT ALSO HAS BEEN LOOKED AT MY MECHANICS WHO CAN NOT FIND A PLAUSIBLE CAUSE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN EITHER. *TR

AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME WITHOUT THE AC AND STEREO ON. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP JUST FINE AND I LET IT IDLE FOR ABOUT 1-1.5 MINUTES TO LET THE IDLE STABILIZE. (IT WAS NOT REAL STABLE). I THEN PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO REVERSE AND BACKED UP MAYBE 2 FT AND THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN.(NOW I AM IN THE ROAD) I REPEATED MY SECOND ATTEMPT AND LET IT IDLE 2-3 MINUTES, PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND IT WAS SHAKY BUT STAYED RUNNING AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ABOUT A WEEK LATER MY WIFE TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAD HAPPEN TO HER 2-3 TIMES OVER A COUPLE DAYS TIME. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES AND TODAY I WAS HAVING TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL WHEN STOPPED OR IDLING TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING FOR A SHORT 20 MILE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AS WE CONSUMERS SEEM TO BE DOING MUCH MORE OF, AND THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED.

VA INSPECTION, BOTH EMISSION AND SAFETY, PASSED EVERY YEAR, LAST ONE BEING IN JULY 2019, WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. SINCE LATE JULY ABS SIGN CEASED TO APPEAR ANY MORE, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS APPEARING STEADILY. IN DIAGNOSTICS P0700, P0732 AND P0720 CODES WERE RETURNED. NOW A DAYS, WHEN I COME TO A STOP/RED LIGHT, ON FULL BRAKE, ENGINE MAKES A JERK, AND SPEEDOMETER READING JUMPS FROM 0 TO 20 MPH. ALSO, BREAK PEDAL EXPERIENCES A PUSH-BACK, CAUSING TENDENCY TO DRIVE FORWARD. OVER 30 MPH GAS PEDAL DEMANDS MORE COMPRESSION, AND ENGINE MOTION ROARING ALSO SURGES, NO RATTLING. WHAT KIND OF RISK I AM CARRYING IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS, COST FOR REMEDY AND IS IT WORTH TO INVEST IN FIXING THE PROBLEM(S)? *TR

TUESDAY, OCTOBER 25, 2016 THE ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED THROUGH AND THE ENGINE LOWERED AND THE CRADLE ITSELF WAS DRAGGING ALONG THE STREET. MY WIFE WAS LEAVING OUR TOWN OF OWOSSO, MICHIGAN TO GO TO DOCTOR APPOINTMENTS IN LANSING, MICHIGAN ABOUT 35 MILES AWAY. THE PACIFICA HAD 119,101 MILES ON IT AND WAS OTHERWISE IN EXCELLENT CONDITION. WE HAD PURCHASED THE CAR FROM A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ABOUT 15 MILES AWAY ABOUT SEVEN YEARS PRIOR WITH 42,000 MILES ON IT. IT HAD ALWAYS BEEN SERVICED AT THE DEALERSHIP UNTIL THE DEALERSHIP WAS SOLD IN FEBRUARY 2016. WITHOUT REPAIR THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE WAS JUST SCRAP METAL, REPAIR WAS AN ABSOLUTE TO SALVAGE ANY VALUE, THE REPAIR COST $3214.07. *TR

ENTERED THE FREEWAY AND AFTER REACHING SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH I HEARD A LOUD SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE A SMALL EXPLOSION. SOMEONE DRIVING IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME BEGAN FRANTICALLY POINTING AT THE ENGINE OF MY CAR. IMMEDIATELY I SAW SMOKE AND FLAMES COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR'S HOOD. I PULLED OFF THE EXIT THAT I WAS APPROACHING, PARKED THE CAR AT THE CURB, JUMPED OUT THE CAR, DIALED 911. FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND BY THIS TIME ENTIRE ENGINE AND HOOD WAS ON FIRE.THEY PUT THE FIRE OUT. CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL OR ANY OTHER GEAR, BUT WAS STILL TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED REPAIRS TO FUEL INJECTORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE ON FEBRUARY 2, 2016. DURING FEB. 2016 INCIDENT THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT GIVE POWER TO MAKE THE CAR ACCELERATE, CAR STARTED SMOKING AND GIVING OFF FUMES THAT SMELLED LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. CAR REPAIRS WERE MADE IN THAT INCIDENT. GOING TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED TO RESEARCH IF THERE IS A CONNECTION/RELATION BETWEEN FEBRUARY 2016 INCIDENT AND JUNE 2016 INCIDENT.

ON MARCH 20TH 2012 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE STRUT MOUNT BROKE, SLIGHTLY ALLOWING THE STRUT TO DAMAGE MY HOOD AND BREAK MY INNER TIE ROD END. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE VEHICLE CALLED AAA AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE. ON MARCH 23 I PURCHASED A NEW STRUT MOUNT AND ON THE 24TH REPLACED THE BROKEN ONE WITH THE NEW ONE. UNFORTUNATELY I DID THE WORK MYSELF AND DIDN'T NOTICE MY INNER TIE ROD BROKE. WHICH LED TO MY VEHICLE NEEDING TO BE CHECKED BY MY MECHANIC ABOUT 8 MONTHS LATER WHEN MY OUTER TIE ROD END GAVE WAY DAMAGING IN THE PROCESS THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND THE DRIVER SIDE AXLE. I HAD EVERYTHING FIXED AND RAN INTO NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL JULY 17TH 2013 WHEN MY FRONT END ALIGNMENT STARTED TO SLIP AND A NOTICEABLE KNOCKING NOISE STARTED COMING FROM MY FRONT END. I IMMEDIATELY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT KELLY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN LEHIGH VALLEY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET ME IN A WEEK LATER. IT TOOK THEM ROUGHLY A WEEK TO FIX MY CAR. BUT THEY REPLACED MY UPPER ENGINE MOUNT, FRONT LOWER ENGINE MOUNT, L/F INNER OUTER TIE ROD ENDS AND REMOVED A DAMAGED EXHAUST SHIELD. BUT THEY STILL COULDN'T' TELL ME WHY MY ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND WHAT THE KNOCKING NOISE WAS. TOWARDS THE END OF AUGUST MY PASSENGER SIDE STRUT MOUNT BROKE AND I HAD IT REPLACED RIGHT AWAY. THEN AGAIN IN NOVEMBER THIS TIME COMPLETELY RIPPING THROUGH THE HOOD. THEN AGAIN IN FEBRUARY, MARCH AND NOW TODAY 5/7/2014 I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE STRUT MOUNT IS ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING AGAIN. AFTER SPEAKING TO A COUPLE OF PACIFICA OWNERS IN MY AREA I HAVE COME TO FIND OUT THESE PROBLEMS ARE COMMON ALONG WITH ENGINE SHUT OFFS AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS BEING ON FOR NO REASON. ITS APPARENT THAT THE 3/8TH INCH THICK PLATE THAT THE STRUTS SIT ON ARE NOT ADEQUATE ENOUGH TO HANDLE THE WEIGHT OF THE VEHICLES ALONG WITH THE CONSTANT JERKING MOTION OFF THE CAR FROM THE STICKY GAS PEDDLE. *TR

UPON REGULAR MAINTENANCE, THE AUTO MECHANIC DISCOVERED MY 2006 PACIFICA ENGINE CRADLE FRAME IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT. HE ADVISED ME THE COST OF REPAIR IS SO HIGH THAT IT IS NOT WORTH TO REPAIR. HE FURTHER REQUIRED ME TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE A SUBFRAME RUSTED THOUGH THE WHOLE METAL FRAME SINCE THE CAR WAS ALWAYS KEPT IN MARYLAND, WE HARDLY HAVE ANY SNOW IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. FROM THE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS SUBFRAME PROBLEM AFFECTED WAS COMMON IN MANY PACIFICA ON THE ROAD. WE FELT FORTUNATE THAT THE ENGINE HAS NOT DROPPED ON THE GROUND AND LEAD TO A FATAL CRASH. WHY THERE IS NOT RECALL ON THESE PACIFICAS .

Sep 11, 2015

I WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER CONSUMER THAT THE FRONT END AND ENGINE CRADLE, IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ARE RUSTING. THIS RUST PROBLEM IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO ACTUAL FALL OUT OF VEHICLES. AFTER HEARING OF THIS, I HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS CHECK MY VEHICLE. AFTER BOTH INSPECTIONS I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND IS NOT GOING TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE FOR MUCH LONGER. THE ESTIMATED TIME FRAME I WAS GIVEN IS BETWEEN 6-12 MONTHS. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I DRIVE LOCAL ONLY AND HAVE IT REINSPECTED EVERY THREE MONTHS FOR MY SAFETY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S RECALL CENTER ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS ISSUED AT THIS TIME FOR MY VEHICLE AND THEY DO NOT EXPECT THERE TO BE ANY. I CALLED DIRECTLY TO THE CHRYSLER CO. TO HEAR THE SAME THING THAT THE RECALL CENTER TOLD ME AND THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF HELPING PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THE HIGH COST OF REPAIRS AND WILL SOON BE OUT OF A ROAD SAFE VEHICLE.

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. THAT IS 1/2 A TANK OF GAS. WHEN I GOT HOME I LOOKED UP RECALLS AND THERE IS A RECALL F44 ON MY VEHICLE THAT DESCRIBES THIS PROBLEM BUT WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE DATES OF THE RECALL.

STARTED IT UP, AND WENT DOWN THE ROAD AND AS SOON AS I ACCELERATED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IT STALLED AGAIN, PULLED OFF THE ROAD TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND SAT FOR A MOMENT, GENTLEMAN STOPPED TO HELP ME, AND SAID IT MIGHT BE OVERHEATING, TO TURN MY HEATER ON AND LEAVE IT RUNNING SINCE I STILL HAD SEVERAL MILES TO GO TO GET HOME AND EVERYONE WAS GONE AT THE HOUSE. SO I TURNED IT BACK ON AND HEATED IT UP AND AWAY I WENT, GOT ABOUT A MILE AND IT STALLED AGAIN, SO I WENT ON THE SHOULDER AND COASTED FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MILE AND STARTED IT UP AND COASTED IT AGAIN, 'TIL I GOT TO OUR SMALL TOWN AND STARTED IT UP, WENT TO TAKE A CORNER, AND IT STALLED ON THE CORNER, SO I COASTED A BIT AGAIN, AND STARTED UP, AND WENT DOWN ABOUT A MILE, PUT INTO NEUTRAL (SO NOT TO USE GAS AND ACCELERATE) AROUND THE CORNER AND WENT DOWN ABOUT ANOTHER MILE, PUT INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN, TOOK THE CORNER, BACK INTO DRIVE AND DOWN THE ROAD TO THE HOUSE, TOOK ANOTHER TURN IN NEUTRAL, AND COASTED INTO THE DRIVE WAY.

WE HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN 2008. THE CAR STALLS WHEN TURNING LIKE THE 2004-2005 MODELS THAT HAD A RECALL F44. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AT 800 992 1997AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR DURING THE INITIAL RECALL. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TOLD US TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT IS COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN WE LEARNED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS CORRODING ANOTHER RECALL X26. THE DEALER TOLD US IT WOULD COST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR. ADDITIONALLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE NEED TWO NEW FUEL PUMPS AND THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE F44 RECALL BECAUSE OUR 2006 CAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE 2004 - 2005 MODEL YEAR RECALL TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMPS. WE PAID THE DEALER THE COST OF THE SERVICE CHARGE $103 FOR THE INFORMATION AND WERE TOLD WE MIGHT CONSIDER BUYING A NEW CAR. I AM SURPRISED/FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING ANY ACCOUNTABILITY FOR BOTH VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUES AND IN ESSENCE MADE $103 PROFIT OFF OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO CREATE A SAFE CAR. *TR

I went on some errands before going out if town. I noticed I might need a wheel alignment soon and I parked the car in my garage to go out of town. When I returned to go have it checked out, I noticed my front driver side tire was flat and a closer inspection, it had a tear. Then I noticed my other front tire was flat as well. I had two people tell me my subframe was badly rusted. I found out this was a known problem with Chrysler Pacifica but no recalls. This could have been a horrible accident for my daughter and I. We had been on the highway! By the grace of GOD we made it home, but the car is not driveable. Then came COVID and here I am, still without a car. Chrysler said they don't do recalls. This should not happen. Unfortunately, I don't know how long this was going on, no one mentioned anything at oil changes or when I got 3 new tires, etc. I don't have photos and just lost and frustrated this happened.

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

THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER. I WAS GIVEN A CLAIM #[XXX] AND WHEN I SPOKE TO CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THAT OUR VIN # WAS NOT COVERED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY THEMSELVES HAD ENDED THE RECALLED VEHICLES 2 WEEKS BEFORE OURS WAS PRODUCED. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AS OUR VEHICLE SUFFERED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS THEY ALL DID 2 WEEKS EARLIER!!!

PURCHASED CAR USED WITH LESS THAN 85K MILES. WHEN I WENT TO GET IT STATE INSPECTED 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED OUT. REPAIR ESTIMATES RANGE FROM $3300 TO OVER $4000. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 100K MILES. NO HELP FROM THE MANUFACTURER. MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME SITUATION. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. CAR IS WORTH AS MUCH AS THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE MADE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. BAD PRODUCT. EVEN PARTIAL HELP WITH THE REPAIRS WOULD HELP. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN "AMERICAN MADE".

THERE WAS A WHITE SUBSTANCE THAT EMITTED INTO THE INTERIOR OF THE VEHICLE, WHICH AFFECTED THE FOUR OCCUPANTS IN THE VEHICLE. THE FORCE OF THE AIR BAG DEPLOYMENT HINDERED THE VISION OF THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGER. THE DRIVER, FRONT PASSENGER, AND TWO REAR PASSENGERS WERE UNINJURED.

A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I NOTICED MY REAR TIRE LEANING OUTWARD. TOOK IT TOO THE SHOP A FEW TIMES WONDERING WHAT WAS THE CAUSE. IT WAS DETERMINED FROM A DEALERSHIP IT WAS THE STRUTS. I WAS TOLD THE PACIFICA WAS KNOWN FOR IT. SO I HAD THE STRUTS REPLACED. IT HELPED BUT THE TIRE WAS STILL LEANING, IT WASN'T PERFECT LIKE THE REST. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER REASON BECAUSE EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD UNDERNEATH AND SUSPENSION. I LOOKED SEVERAL TIMES, MYSELF. NOT SEEING ANY MAJOR RUST OR ANYTHING UNSAFE. THEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 150 MILE'S FROM HOME, AT 70 MPH, A HARD BANG AND THE REAR END LIFTED UP AND DROPPED DOWN. CAR UNCONTROLLABLE. FINALLY ABLE TO STOP AND REALIZE THE SUBFRAME DROPPED RIGHT OUT OF THE CAR LEAVING MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON THE GROUND. IT HAD RUSTED FROM THE TOP OF THE SUBFRAME DOWN. LOOKED ON LINE AND SEEN IT WAS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. CALLED CHRYSLER WAS TOLD MY PROBLEM. HENCE MY FIRST AMERICAN MADE CAR AND MY LAST. POS!!!

MY VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN THE SHOP, NOT EVEN 30 MINUTES PASSED AND I WAS CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MECHANIC, THAT IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING MY MOTOR MOUNT HE NOTICED THAT MY CRADLE WAS ROTTED OUT AND VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THIS WAS A VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT ON MY VEHICLE, (STEERING, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND ECT.) ARE BEING HELD UP BY THE CRADLE, AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE CAN FALL OUT AT ANYTIME! I AM IN FEAR FOR MY FAMILY AND I, TO KNOW THAT WE TRAVEL AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREE WAY. WE LIVE IN A CITY WHERE THERE ARE MANY POT HOLES AND CRATERS IN THE STREETS WE DRIVE ON, AND TO KNOW THAT WE CAN BE IN DANGER IS INSANE. HE QUOTED ME AROUND $3,000 TO REPAIR AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO COVER THIS ISSUE. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING DONE BY THE CHRYSLER CORP. HOPEFULLY THIS SPEAKS FOR MANY OWNERS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE.

WE HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN 2008 WITH 26K MILES. IN 2011 WE STARTED EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. SIMULTANEOUSLY, WE CAME UP WITH CODES P0700, P0420 AND P0456 AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT , THE CATALYST CONVERTER REPLACED AND NEW FUEL PUMP DUE TO THE EVAP LEAK. IN A MATTER OF MONTHS, WE SPENT $5,900 ON REPAIRS AND IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO PASS INSPECTION. WE WERE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER REPEATEDLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE, SO WE WERE FORCED TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT MANY PACIFICAS HAD MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT WE WERE EXPERIENCING AND THAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUES.WE HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER SEATS, BLUETOOTH , SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY PREMATURELY SEVERAL TIMES. NOW WE NEED AN ABS SENSOR, AND THE CAR LEAKS IN THROUGH THE FRONT WINDOW SEALS ON BOTH SIDES WHEN IT RAINS. WE HAVE JUST FOUND OUT WHEN WE HAD THE CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THAT OUR ENGINE CRADLE(SUB FRAME) IS RUSTED AND IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE AND WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $2,500 TO REPLACE! WE JUST MADE OUR LAST PAYMENT ON THIS CAR AS WE FOUND THIS INFORMATION OUT. WE HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT MANY PACIFICAS HAVE THIS RUSTING PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER DID ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FOR 2004 & 2005 MODELS BUT NOT AFTER. WE ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND WANT TO BE SURE THAT THE NTSA IS AWARE OF THIS. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR AND THERE MAY BE MANY UNSUSPECTING PACIFICA OWNERS AND THEIR FAMILIES OUT THERE WHO ARE AT RISK OF INJURY OR POSSIBLY LOSS OF LIFE. WE FEEL THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO WARN ALL OWNERS AND IMPLORE THEM TO HAVE THEM BRING THEIR PACIFICAS TO THE DEALERSHIP FREE OF CHARGE TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND REPAIRED FOR THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE.

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..

CAN NOT GET A MECHANIC TO FIX IT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE RECALL AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. PROBLEM #2 IS THE MOUNTS THAT HOLD THE MOTOR ARE CORRODED AND RUSTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS ANOTHER DEFECT AND THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHERE THE MOTOR JUST FALLS OUT.

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.

TRAVELING DURING THUNDERSTORM APPROXIMATELY 3,5 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE; THE COMPUTER APPEARED TO LOCK WHEN VEHICLE SLIPPED ON PAVEMENT AS AWD ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND POWER THEN SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD.

WHEN ACCELERATES OR DECELERATES THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO PEERLESS TIRE CO. AFTER MECHANIC POINTED OUT THE WRONG SIZE AND MODEL OF TIRE ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. AFTER ACCEPTING FAULT WANTED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO [XXX] PAINT AND BODY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. WHEN THE ESTIMATE WAS BEING DONE AND VEHICLE WAS ON LIFT...[XXX] AND MECHANIC POINTED OUT THE WHOLE MOTOR CARRIAGE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND CORRODED. THEY HAD NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT.

HAD TO GO AHEAD WITH INSURANCE CLAIM AND WAIT FOR ADJUSTORS TO DETERMINE FAULT OF ACCIDENT.THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS TIPPING FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING.

THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN MOTOR BEARING WENT BAD AND YOU CANT REPLACE JUST THE MOTOR, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH MOTORS, BOTH FANS AND THE SHROUD ( RIDICULOUS ). MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SAYS FUEL CAP ON DASH BUT I REPLACED THE CAP AND NOW AS I'M LOOKING ON THIS SITE I KNOW ITS PROBABLY THE GAS TANK LINES CRACKED. IVE ALSO GOT THE STICKY GAS PEDAL, TRANSMISSION BANGS INTO 2ND RANDOMLY. MY CONCLUSION AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE RECALLS. I MEAN JESUS WERE TALKING ABOUT FIRE HAZARDS AND A STICKING ACCELERATOR POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AT SUCH LOW MILES. NEVER AGAIN CHRYSLER. *TR

ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP COMPLETELY WHEN BRAKING. I WOULD LET OFF BRAKES AND REAPPLY & IT STILL DID NOT STOP PROMPTLY. ABS LIGHT CAME ON & ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER REPAIR CENTER IN DELRAY BEACH FLORIDA. THEY SAID MY NVL PUMP & ABS SENSOR NEEDED REPLACED. THEY ALSO SAID IF I DO NOT REPLACE THE NVL PUMP MY CAR WILL BEGIN TO STALL. THE CAR BEGAN STALLING ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS LATER. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 4-6 TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN THE CAR WAS AT IDOL. I HAD THE PUMP REPLACED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC A FEW WEEKS LATER. THE CAR KEPT STALLING AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED. THEN THE CAR STARTED COMPLETELY LOCK UP & TURN OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I HAVE NO POWER, NO STEERING...NOTHING. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET! I TOOK IT BACK IN TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR AN INSPECTION & DIAGNOSTIC. ALL THREE MECHANICS SAY NOW I HAVE O2 SENSORS & MOUNTS THAT ARE BAD. THEY ALL SAY THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE.THEY ALL 3 SAY THE MOUNTS & O2 SENSORS DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR STALLS & LOCKS UP/TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY LAST MECHANIC RAN A RECALL SEARCH FOR MY CAR & FOUND A RECALL FOR MY MAKE & MODEL THAT COMPLETELY EXPLAINS MY PROBLEM. HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY THEY SAID MY VIN # DOES NOT QUALIFY?!?!? I CALLED CHRYSLER HOME OFFICE TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ERROR AS TO WHY MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL & THEY HAVEN'T CALLED BACK.

1 complaint

WHEN I HAD MY CAR IN TO FIX A FRONT END PROBLEM LAST YEAR I WAS TOLD TWO OF THE THREE MOTOR MOUNTS NEED TO BE REPLACED. NOW WHEN HAVING A TIE ROD REPLACED I AM TOLD SUBFRAME BRACKETS ARE ROTTED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. A CAR THAT IS FIVE YEARS OLD SHOULD NOT BE ROTTING FROM NORMAL DRIVING. ENGINE MOUNTS ON A CAR SHOULD NOT GO AFTER FOUR YEARS.

1 complaint

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

CAR HAS STALLED (ENGINE CUTS OUT COMPLETELY) WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT LEAST 4 TIME. MOST RECENT WAS WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY IT JUST STOPPED, NEARLY CAUSING FATAL ACCIDENT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF CAR CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK WITH NO MEANS OF GETTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. YOU'RE A SITTING DUCK FOR A CRASH. FORTUNATELY, SHE GOT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR IS AT STEVENS CREEK CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (TOWED THERE TODAY). I AM ALSO IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION REGARDING THIS FLAW AND REPARATIONS THAT ARE DUE ME FROM THIS LEMON. THE DEALERSHIPS NUMBER IS 408 248-1800. THEY ARE AWARE I AM PURSUING MY OPTIONS WITH THIS DANGEROUS CAR AND I REALLY DON'T WANT IT BACK EVEN IF THEY TELL ME THEY'VE FIXED IT. I DON'T TRUST THIS PROBLEM AS IT'S RAMPANT AND CARS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. IT'S A BLESSING MY DAUGHTER WASN'T KILLED FROM WHAT THIS CAR DID.

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA GAS PEDAL STICKS, WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP POSITION. IT HAPPENS A LEAST 3 TIMES A DAY.

CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE PROACTIVE BEFORE THIS GAS PEDAL STICKING CAUSES A MAJOR ORDEAL FOR CHRYSLER AND CONSUMERS. ALSO, THE LIFTER NOISE COMPLAINTS IS ALSO A COMMON PROBLEM AND NHTSA NEEDS TO RESEARCH THIS DEFECT MORE CLOSELY. I JUST HAD THIS REPAIRED. *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

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). ABS LIGHT ON - FAILURE TO STOP THE VEHICLE. I OWN A CHRY-PACIFICA 2006, ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, JUST BEFORE THE LIGHT CAME ON, (TRANSITION BETWEEN ABS STOPPED WORKING AND TURNED TO TRADITIONAL BRAKES) I WAS MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE CAR INSTEAD OF STOPPING KEPT GOING AND I JUST MISSED HITTING THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE FAILURE COULD HAVE RESULTED IN CATASTROPHIC ACCIDENT. I TOOK THE CAR TO GET THIS REPAIRED AND WAS INFORMED THAT THERE IS A BULLETIN PROVIDING INSTRUCTION ABOUT REPLACEMENT OF SENSORS FOR PACIFICA, ALSO IT SUGGESTS IT COULD BE COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BASED ON WARRANTY PROVISIONS. MILEAGE: AROUND 60,000 THE QUESTION I HAVE IS IF CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE WHY CAN'T THEY EXTEND WARRANTY ON SUCH PARTS THAT ARE RELATED TO SAFETY? ALSO, IT REQUIRES THE OWNER TO REPLACE ALL FOUR SENSORS - WHY? IS THERE ANYTHING THAT CAN BEDONE TO HELP THE CUSTOMER WITH THIS ISSUE? [XXX] *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING AND WHEN I COME TO A STOP IT BEGINS TO VIBRATE AND I REARENDED THE PEOPLE INFRONT OF ME. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR UNIT. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEMS HAVE EVER BEEN DOCUMENTED...THEY NEED TO START CHECKING THIS SITE AND SEE THAT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ARE THE SAME. *CW

REAR (BACKUP) SENSOR INTERMITTENTLY INOPERATIVE (LED TO NON-INJURY CRASH); DEFAULT FACTORY SETTINGS ERROR. LEFT HOME YESTERDAY EVENING, BACKUP SENSOR WAS WORKING (ALERTED DRIVER TO TRUCK IN DRIVE AND TREE NEAR DRIVEWAY). DROVE TO DESTINATION (<2 M.) AND PARKED VEHICLE ON STREET. LEFT DESTINATION ABOUT 3 HOURS LATER, BOUND FOR ANOTHER RESIDENCE TO PICK UP OUR DAUGHTER (.5 M). IT WAS A VERY DARK AND RAINY NIGHT, NO STREET LIGHTS. DROVE INTO RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY, THEN BACKED OUT OF DRIVEWAY. UPON BACKING ONTO STREET, REAR BUMPER OF PACIFICA HIT FRONT BUMPER OF SMALL, DARK BLUE, LINCOLN SEDAN PARKED ON STREET. THE BACKUP SENSOR DID NOT WORK AT ALL. THERE WERE NO INJURIES, AND ONLY MINOR DAMAGE (ALTHOUGH NEEDLESS) TO THE BUMPERS. HOWEVER, THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS EQUIPMENT FAILURE. WE CHECKED THE CONTROL MENUS. *FACTORY SETTINGS* WAS *OFF*, AND, WITHIN THESE SETTINGS, *PARK ASSIST SYSTEM* WAS *OFF*. WE (MY HUSBAND OR I) HAD NOT CHANGED THE SETTINGS, AND, AS MENTIONED, THE SENSOR HAD WORKED EARLIER THAT EVENING. THE SAME IGNITION KEY WAS USED FOR ALL DRIVING THAT EVENING. WE CHECKED THE SETTINGS BECAUSE OF A SIMILAR INCIDENT TWO WEEKS EARLIER (SEE BELOW). TWO WEEKS AGO, AFTER A SHORT DRIVE FROM HOME (<3 M.), WE NOTICED THE BACKUP SENSOR WAS NOT WORKING WHEN WE WERE BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE, ALTHOUGH IT HAD BEEN WORKING EARLIER IN THE DAY. AS IN THE LATER INCIDENT, THE *FACTORY SETTINGS* SETTING WAS *OFF*, AND, WITHIN THESE SETTINGS, *PARK ASSIST SYSTEM* WAS *OFF*. WE (MY HUSBAND OR I) HAD NOT CHANGED THE SETTINGS. WE WERE BEFUDDLED AS TO THE REASON THIS HAPPENED. WE SET THE *FACTORY SETTINGS* BACK TO *ON*, AND CONFIRMED THAT THIS RESET THE *PARK ASSIST SYSTEM* TO *ON*. THE REAR SENSOR THEN SEEMED TO BE WORKING OKAY, UNTIL THE RECURRENCE OF THE PROBLEM LAST NIGHT. I WILL TALK TO THE DEALER ABOUT THIS PROBLEM TOMORROW (CLOSED TODAY), SO I HAVE NO INFO ON MFG ACTIONS TO CORRECT THIS FAILURE. *NM

INCIDENT #1: 3 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE, I NOTICED THERE WAS SOMETHING WRONG WITH MY BRAKES. I TOOK IT IN AND WAS TOLD THAT MY ROTORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED (THE VEHICLE HAD 30 MILES ON IT WHEN I BOUGHT IT). I WAS TOLD ALL THE ROTORS WERE WARPED. INCIDENT #2: APPROXIMATELY 4 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING, MY LEFT HEADLIGHT WENT OUT. NOT A MAJOR PROBLEM, BUT STILL AN INCONVENIENCE...ESPECIALLY WHEN CAR IS BRAND NEW. INCIDENT #3: I WAS MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN OUT OF THE PARKING LOT WHEN VEHICLE STALLED ON ME. MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKED UP AND I GLIDED ACROSS 2 LANES OF THE ROAD (AMAZINGLY WITHOUT HURTING MYSELF OR OTHERS). NO WARNING AT ALL. VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP JUST FIND...BUT VERY SCARY. TOOK IT INTO THE SERVICE AND WAS TOLD THAT MY COMPUTER NEEDED TO BE "FLASHED" INCIDENT #4: ABS LIGHT CAME ON OUT OF NOWHERE AND I FELT A "FLUTTERING" OF THE BRAKE PEDAL WHEN PRESSING THE BRAKE. I WAS TOLD THE SENSORS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY WERE. INCIDENT #5: RECEIVED MY VEHICLE BACK FROM REPAIR ON INCIDENT #4 ON TUESDAY, VEHICLE IS BACK IN THE SHOP TODAY (2 DAYS LATER). FLUTTERING FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL AGAIN. UNSURE WHAT THE OUTCOME IS...STILL IN SERVICE. FORTUNATELY, NONE OF THESE INCIDENTS HAVE CAUSED ME, MY FAMILY, OR OTHERS ANY INJURY OR HARM BUT EACH OF THESE INCIDENTS (BESIDES THE HEADLIGHT) COULD HAVE RESULTED IN SERIOUS INJURIES OR RESULTED IN DEATHS. *NM
