My Chrysler Pacifica 2007 4.0L Shifter Check Engine Light Was On. I Took It To Get Diagnosed It Came Back Ass Gas Cap My Inboard Computer Even Read Gas-cap. So I Replaced It And The Check Engine Light Was Gone. I Say A Week Later My I Was Parked An Tried To Put The Car In Drive I Wouldn't Shift Shifter Broken Only To Find Out It Was A Piece Inside The Shifter. So I Replaced That And After Replacement Of That Now I’m Having Transmission And Electric Problems. The Car Shifts Rough And As I’m Driving The Car Doesn’t Shifts Gears Now Also Will Shift Into Auto-stick On It’s On. I’ll Put My Car Into Drive An As I’m Proceeding To Drive Say At 20mph My Rpm’s A Stay At x2000 I’ll Continue To Speed Up To 30,40 mph And My Rpm’s Will Be The Same As If My Transmission Isn’t Shifting Gears Also Hear A Whining Noise As I Drive. Replaced Transmission Inner And Outer sensors Still Having The Same Problem. Now He’s Saying My Transmission Is Shot All Together. I Put In Total $800. In repairs after the purchase of this car and its my only car RN. It’s basically idling up and not switching gears I’ve been to 3 to 5 transmission shops and auto body shops.

MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA 4.0 HAS ALWAYS RAN PRETTY GREAT, RIDES SMOOTH. THIS PARTICULAR DAY IT JERKED AND REVED TO 3000 RPMS WHEN I PUT MY VEHICLE INTO REVERSE, I THEN SWITCHED MY GEAR INTO DRIVE AND THE TRUCK JERKED AGAIN THEN STARTED SMOKING ON THE DRIVERS SIDE OF THE ENGINE. BY THE TIME I COULD PARK THE ENGINE CAUGHT FIRE AND SPREAD QUICKLY. I GRABBED WHAT THINGS I COULD BEFORE THE FIRE DEPARTMENT GOT THERE. THEY HAD TO PRY MY HOOD OPEN BECAUSE IT MELTED THE LATCH TO OPEN IT AND THEY CONTINUOUSLY SOAKED THE WHOLE ENGINE FOR ABOUT 5-7 MINUTES. FIRE SEEMED TO ORIGINATE AROUND THE BATTERY COMPARTMENT AREA.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING WITHOUT WARNING OF ANY KIND. IT'S HAPPENED 5 TIMES IN THE LAST MONTH, IT IS USUALLY "CHILLY" OUT (40F OR LOWER) BUT WE JUST GOT THE VEHICLE A MONTH AGO SO HASN'T BEEN WARM YET. 2 OF THE TIMES WERE WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AND 3 JUST LEAVING OUR DRIVEWAY.

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR SIMPLY TURNED OFF (ENGINE STOPS JUST LIKE YOU TURNED THE KEY TO OFF). TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD, WHERE CAR WAS RESTARTED. THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO A PROBLEM IN MAY 2012 WHEN THE CAR WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TURNED ITSELF OFF. STORED CODE AT THE TIME WAS C121C. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE IN MAY 2012. *TR

THE DEALER REPLACED THE EGR SENSOR, THE ETC SENSOR, THE ECM SENSOR AND THE WIRING HARNESS BUT THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING.

HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A CLUNK FROM THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL FOR A FEW WEEKS. HAD MIDAS LOOK AT IT LAST WEEK WHILE REPLACING FRONT BRAKES, BUT THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. THIS WEEK, WAS GETTING OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. MENTIONED THE NOISE AGAIN, AND THIS TIME WAS TOLD THE NOISE WAS DUE TO ENGINE MOUNT FAILURE OF THE LEFT AND RIGHT ENGINE MOUNTS. I IN TURN CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR WITH THE LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS WELL AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND WAS TOLD THAT NEITHER ONE OF THESE WOULD COVER THE REPLACEMENT. THEN, CHRYSLER PROCEEDED TO QUOTE ME A REPLACEMENT COST THAT WAS $300 OVER MY MIDAS QUOTE. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN, "DOESN'T THIS SEEM TO BE A PREMATURE FAILURE, SINCE I ONLY HAVE 67,000 MILES?" TO WHICH HE REPLIED, "YES IT DOES." HE ALSO SAID THE REASON THIS PART IS NOT COVERED IS BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED A "CONSUMABLE" PART. REALLY? CAN I BUY THAT WITH MY OIL? BUT, BASED ON ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ABOUT THIS ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES, ENGINE MOUNTS ARE AS CONSUMABLE AS BRAKE PADS WHERE CHRYSLER IS CONCERNED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN THAT I WOULD NOT BE TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS REPAIR. I CAME HOME AND DECIDED TO GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM TO SEE IF IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, AND OH MY! CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND REFUND THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS SINCE NONE OF THEIR WARRANTIES SEEM TO! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PRODUCT. THIS WAS A $36,000 CAR! *TR

FAILED MOTOR MOUNTS. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAD FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. AND THEY STATED THAT NO RECALLS HAD BEEN ISSUED. MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS WAS 59,000. AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF THE BASIC WARRANTY, AND MOUNTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD I HAVE NO COVERAGE FOR REPAIR OF THIS KNOWN DEFECT. MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT I PAY FOR THE REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP, AT THE WILDLY INFLATED DEALER PRICING, AND THEN THEY WOULD SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO REGARDING A POSSIBLE PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT AFTER THE FACT. I MAY HAVE BEEN DUMB ENOUGH TO BUY A CHRYSLER, BUT I'M NOT THAT DUMB. AN ESTIMATE FROM A PRIVATE GARAGE WAS 50% LESS. A REVIEW OF THIS SITE AND THE BROADER INTERNET SHOWS THIS TO BE A KNOWN AND COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHICLES. HOW MANY OF THESE FAILURES NEED TO BE REPORTED BEFORE A RECALL IS ISSUED? *KB

MY 2007 AWD CHRYSLER PACIFICA SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 55MPH ON A RURAL STATE HIGHWAY. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS NO POER STEERING, ETC. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE DEALER THE TIPM(CONTROL MODULE) FAILED. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR FAR FROM HOME. ORDUS CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT WHEN THE TIMP GOES BAD THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AND NOT TURN BACK UNLESS TAKEN TO A DEALER.

I HAVE A CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT AS I'VE DRIVEN IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR ROAD. IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AS I WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I'VE HAD IT IN AND OUT OF THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS AND I'VE BEEN GIVEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS AS TO WHAT'S WRONG. NONE OF THEM HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. FINALLY, TODAY I FOUND A MECHANIC THAT SAID IT WAS THE TIPM! UNFORTUNATELY FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN CHRYSLERS. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR THAT I'M GOING TO BE HURT WHILE DRIVING IT. I WAS ALMOST HIT WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND HAD KIDS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND IT'S DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS PUTTING THE CONSUMER AT SUCH A RISK. *TR

THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TOTALLY INTEGRATED POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 132,135.

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

"TAKATA RECALL" THE VEHICLE WILL ONLY TAKE A LITTLE FUEL AT A TIME, IT WILL ONLY TAKE ABOUT 5-6 GALLONS PER FUELING STOPS AND IT WIL NO LONGER ACCEPT ANY FUEL, THERE IS A STRONG FUEL ODOR AFTER FUELING INSIDE OF THE VEHICLE, PLUS THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS EMPTY RIGHT AFTER PUTTING FUEL IN THE TANK, LET ME ADD THAT THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES WITHIN THE LAST 11 YEARS OF OWNING THE VEHICLE. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AS A "PROGRAM VEHICLE" IN 2007 AND IT HAS BEEN A GOOD VEHICLE, I AM JUST GLAD WE PURCHASED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY.WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE WHEN IT HAD 29,000 MILES ON IT, IT NOW HAS 202,000 PLUS MILES ON IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE TOOK AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME TO START. AS THE FAILURE PROGRESSED, THE VEHICLE SHOOK ABNORMALLY AND THE VEHICLE STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED BY A DEALER. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP THREE TIMES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.
Jan 31, 2018
THE GAS GAUGE DROPS TO ABSOLUTE ZERO AND THE LOW FUEL WARNING COMES ON EVEN THOUGH THERE IS PLENTY OF GAS IN THE TANK. THIS CAUSES A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH THE CODE U1403. THERE ARE MANY OWNERS OF 2004-2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS THAT HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. THE GENERAL CONSENSUS ON FORUMS SPECIFIC TO THIS COMMON PROBLEM IS THERE IS A GAS PRESSURE PROBLEM THAT CAUSES THE GAUGE TO NOT READ CORRECTLY. PEOPLE WHO HAVE TAKEN THEIR CAR TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR REPORT THAT THE DEALERS USUALLY SAY THE SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE BOTH FUEL PUMPS. CUSTOMERS, HOWEVER, REPORT THAT THIS IS EXPENSIVE AND USUALLY DOES NOT FIX THE PROBLEM (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON). MOST OWNERS SAY THE PROBLEM STEMS FROM THE POORLY DESIGNED SADDLE TANK AND BELIEVE THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE GAS PRESSURE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WERE NO HELP AT ALL. TWO SEPARATE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPS TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER. THERE HAVE BEEN HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF 2004-2007 PACIFICA OWNERS (I ALSO FOUND MANY JEEP FORUMS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM) AND SURELY CHRYSLER HAS A RECORD OF THESE PROBLEMS AND HOW TO FIX THEM. HAVING EACH OWNER TAKE THEIR CAR TO THEIR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WITH NO COMMON DOCUMENTED FIX MEANS EACH OWNER IS RELYING ON TECHS THAT MAY OR MAY NOT BE AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THE PROPER WAY TO FIX IT. TRIAL AND ERROR EACH TIME IS EXTREMELY WASTEFUL AND EXPENSIVE FOR THOUSANDS OF OWNERS. A RECALL WOULD AT LEAST ENSURE THAT EACH SERVICE CENTER HAS THE CORRECT INSTRUCTIONS ON WHAT IS EXACTLY WRONG AND PRECISELY HOW TO FIX IT.

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR IT RUNS GREAT UNTIL I GET BELOW HALF A TANK. WHEN I HIT A HALF A TANK IT DROPS TO EMPTY AND STALLS AND DIES. I HAVE LOOKED IT UP AND HAD THE CAR DIANOSED. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE SENDING UNIT IS BAD.
Nov 16, 2015
MUCH DIFFICULTY IN FILLING THE FUEL TANK, THE PUMP HANDLE WOULD CONTINUOUSLY SHUT OFF, AS THOUGH THE TANK WAS FULL, WE HAD TO REPEATEDLY OPERATE THE HANDLE OFF AND ON FOR SEVERAL MINUTES. THE FUEL GAUGE WOULD NEVER SHOW THE TANK AS FULL. IT WOULD ALSO, DURING NORMAL OPERATION, REACH HALF EMPTY, THEN PLUNGE TO EMPTY, SOMETIMES ILLUMINATING THE EMPTY LIGHT!! WE WERE TOLD BY OUR CHRYSLER SERVICE MANAGER, ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS, THAT OUR CAR WAS REPAIRED, IT WAS NOT REPAIRED !!!! $1500 ON A NEW FUEL TANK, AND HUNDREDS ON RENTAL CARS LATER, OUR CAR IS STILL NOT FIXED!!! NEVER AGAIN!!!!

The engine cradle has rotted and engine started to fall out. It took months to find a replacement, now I am told the bolts needed are discontinued and no one at Chrysler or Mopar can tell me what size bolts & nuts are needed to put it together. The control arm came but not bolts or nuts. The engine carriage came, but no nuts & bolts. So, over $1k in parts, looks like it will need to go to the crushers for a loss of $2500 (with cost of purchase). FYI one guy one ebay is selling 1 bolt for $105.00 plus shipping.

MY 07 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING WILL ACCELERATE ON 25 OR MORE MILES IT NOT GO MORE THEN 70 MILES PER HOUR ON FREEWAY WHEN IT HITS 70 A TICKING NOISE STARTES MY MAL FUNCTION LIGHT IS ON. HAVE AN APPOINTMENT WITH DEALERSHIP TOMORROW. JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY HAVEN'T RECALL THEM FOR THIS ISSUE
Feb 21, 2020
ENGINE CRADLE HAS ROTTED THROUGH AND CRACKED. AFTER SEARCHING THE INTERNET, THIS IS VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PACIFICAS (MODEL YEARS 2004-2008). CONTACTED CHRYSLER, AND THEY ADVISED THAT THERE ARE NO RECALLS AND WILL NOT ASSIST FURTHER.
Dec 10, 2018
WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR MID DRIVING THE CAR STALLS AND TURNS OFF. TURNS BACK ON BUT STILL SHAKES TO TURN OFF. AT RED LIGHT CAR WILL STALL AND MUST BE KEPT IN NEUTRAL SO IT WONT SHUT OFF. THEN WHEN PUT INTO DRIVE CAR IS ABOUT TO STALL AGAIN AND THEN JUMPS WHEN GAS IS PRESSED TO MOVE. THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING FOR THE PAST 3 MONTHS ON AND OFF.
Aug 12, 2018
I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE GEARS, WHEN I PUT IT IN PARK IT WILL NOT COME OUT OF PARK. I UNDERSTAND THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, HOWEVER MY MAKE AND MODEL IS NOT AFFECTED BY IT AND AM DISTURBED TO THINK THAT I AM NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL.

GRINDING NOISE FROM POWER STEERING WHEN DRVING
May 14, 2017
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE STEERING WHEEL VEERED TO THE RIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES FOR THE FAILURE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE BUSHING, THE CRADLE, AND THE MOTOR MOUNTS; HOWEVER, THE REMEDY FAILED TO REPAIR THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 67,000.
Jul 14, 2015
MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS A POWER STEERING PROBLEM. POWERSTEERING GOES OUT WHILE DRIVING EVERY ONCE AND A WHILE. NOW IT HAS BEEN HAPPENING DAILY. THERE SEEMS TO BE A LEAK AND ON ONE OCCASION SMELL OF BURNING FROM THE ENGINE. I HAVE SEEN THAT THIS HAS BEEN A ISSUE WITH 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS AND I HAVE CHILDREN IN THE VEHICLE. IT IS DANGEROUS AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED! ALSO CAR SHUTS OF WHILE DRIVING WHICH IS ALSO VERY DANGEROUS!!! *TR
Jan 05, 2014
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE TIRE RODS WERE BEGINNING TO SEPARATE FROM THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE, BUT DENIED ANY ASSISTANCE WITH REPAIRS TO THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 68,366.
Feb 21, 2012
WHEN TURNING THE STEERING, MOSTLY TO THE RIGHT, AT LOW SPEEDS THERE IS A RUBBING, VIBRATION COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE WHICH IS QUITE LOUD AND CAN BE FELT AS A SHUDDER THROUGH THE STEERING WHEEL. I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THIS PROBLEM DUE TO THE FACT THAT IT IS AN INTERMITTENT ISSUE. I NO LONGER HAVE WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE BUT FEEL THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE CARE OF ANY ISSUE THAT IS REPORTED DURING THE WARRANTY PERIOD BUT NOT FIXED DURING THAT TIME. I FEAR THAT EVENTUALLY A STEERING FAILURE WILL OCCUR WHICH MAY HAVE MAJOR CONSEQUENCES. *TR

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO RESUME DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN IT CUT OFF. I HAD TO PULL OVER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IF A CAR HAD BEEN DRIVING BEHIND ME FAST, I COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIT IN THE BACK WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIC OR EVEN FATAL. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS TAKEN TO DIAGNOSED THE MAJOR PROBLEM AS THE 2 FUEL PUMPS NEEDED REPLACING; IN ADDITION TO OTHER ITEMS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 126,000 MILES. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PACIFICA (2006 AND 2008 MODELS AS WELL). CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT THAT THEIR FUEL PUMPS ARE FAULTY AND REPLACE THEM BEFORE A FATALITY HAPPENS AND, IN ADDITION TO REPLACING THE PUMPS, THEY ARE FACED WITH LAWSUITS. *TR
Jun 09, 2014
THE FUEL GAUGE IS NOT SHOWING CORRECTLY. IT READS THAT THE FUEL TANK IS HALF FULL THEN IT SUDDENLY DROPS TO EMPTY. THE MILES TO EMPTY GAUGE IS NOT CALCULATING CORRECTLY EITHER. YOU CAN NOT TELL HOW FAR YOU REALLY CAN GO BEFORE THE CAR WILL RUN OUT OF GAS. WHEN I ATTEMPT TO FILL THE FUEL TANK, IT WILL NOT LET THE FUEL FLOW INTO THE FUEL TANK. IT STOPS AS IF IT IS FULL, BUT IT IS NOT. *TR
Mar 04, 2014
THE FUEL PUMPS IN THE GAS TANKS STOP WORKING. THEY WONT PUMP FUEL FROM ONE TANK TO THE OTHER. MY GAS GAGE SHOES FULL THEN WHEN IT GET A LITTLE BELOW HALF IM OUT OF GAS BECAUSE THE PUMPS ARE NOT PUMPING GAS FROM ONE SIDE TO THE OTHER SIDE. I HAD NEW PUMPS PUT IN 2,000 MILES AGO AND THE WENT OUT ALREADY. CHRYSLER NEED TO RECALL THIS PROBLEM. I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT IS HAVING THIS PROBLEM. WE AS CHRYSLER OWNERS CANT AFFORD TO PAY FOR THIS ALL THE TIME. I KNOW FOR A FACT THERE IS A CHRYSLER DEALER THAT SAID HE HAS THEM COMING IN LIKE A REVOLVING DOOR. I CANT TRUST THE CAR TO GO ON LONG TRIPS. I LOVE THE CAR OTHER THAN THIS PROBLEM. THANK YOU FOR READING THIS. I HOPE SOMETHING GET DONE. I CALLED THE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER BUT GOT NOWHERE WITH THEM. *TR
Feb 27, 2014
AFTER MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FUEL GAUGE GETS BELOW 1/2 TANK, THE GAUGE STARTS DROPPING AT AN ALARMING RATE. IF I DRIVE 1 MILE IT REACTS INDICATING AS MUCH AS A 10 MILE DROP. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT THE GAS GAUGE JUMPS AROUND BETWEEN 2 AND 3 MILES DIFFERENCES. I DO NOT GET A FULL 20 GALLON DRIVE FROM MY VEHICLE. I CAN FILL UP THE CAR BUT ONCE THE GAUGE INDICATES IT'S EMPTY THE CAR WILL NOT START. I LOGGED IT AS ONLY SHOWING 320 MILES AND GOING EMPTY, WHEN FULL THE GAUGE INDICATES 400 MILES. THIS READING IS CHANGING NOW ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED ON MY 07' CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS IN 2009. THERE WAS AN AWFUL ALMOST SLAMMING TYPE NOISE AND THE VEHICLE "JUMPED" WHEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME AND THEY SAID THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE CRACKED AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THEM, BUT COULDN'T GUARANTEE HOW LONG THEY WOULD LAST. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS "AN ISSUE" ON THE PACIFICA MODEL AS IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM OFTEN. SINCE THE FIRST TIME THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE FOUND TO BE CRACKED IN 2009, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS 2 MORE TIME AND NOW THEY ARE BROKE AGAIN; TOTALING 4 TIMES IN 7 YEARS!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE! I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER QUITE A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST 4 YEARS AND GOT NOWHERE! THEY COULD NOT CARE LESS THAT THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR THEIR "DESIGN FLAW"! IF I HAD KNOWN THAT I WOULD HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM KEEP REPEATING, I 100% WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE! AND IF I HAD KNOWN THAT CHRYSLER WOULD GIVE ME AN AROUSING "OH WELL, TOO BAD FOR YOU", I 110% WOULD NOT HAVE BOUGHT FROM THIS COMPANY! HOW SAD THAT EVEN AFTER ALL THE MONEY THEY HAVE MADE OFF PEOPLE BUYING THEIR PRODUCTS THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING TO HELP! INEXCUSABLY DISGUSTING!! *TR

AFTER TURNING OFF THE ENGINE AND FUELING UP, I STARTED THE CAR AND PUT IT IN DRIVE AND IT IMMEDIATELY SHUT THE ENGINE OFF. I TRIED A SECOND TIME, SAME RESULT. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE IN REVERSE TO A PARKING SPOT, AND CONTINUED TRYING TO DRIVE FORWARD, THE ENGINE WOULD SHUT DOWN EACH TIME. I NOTICED THE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS ON. NOT KNOWING WHAT IT MEANT, EVENTUALLY CALLED A TOW SERVICE FOR HELP. FORTUNATELY, HOME WAS ONLY 45 MINUTES AWAY.

ALSO, WHEN TURNING WHILE DRIVING, MANY TIMES THERE IS A NOISE COMING FROM STEERING - FEELS LIKE A SHORT GRIND RESONATING INTO THE STEERING WHEEL.

FIRST WEEK IN JUNE I SENT MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO ATHENS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN BOGART GA. THE STEERING WAS LOCKING UP ON MY WIFE. I FIGURED IT WAS MAYBE THE POWER STEERING. THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE AGAIN BROKEN AND THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT ONE FOR THE THIRD TIME. I READ IN SOCIAL CAR CHAT ROOMS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE FAILING IN JUST ABOUT ALL THESE TYPE CARS, AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE COSTS. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT NO ONE WILL BUY OR AT LEAST I WOULDN'T BECAUSE IT CAN'T HOLD ITS OWN ENGINE. I KNOW THIS IS A CONSUMER CONCERN JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE STEERING LOCKING UP WITH MY FAMILY ON BOARD. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAK UNLESS THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW THAT THEY ARE DUMPING ON US CONSUMERS. I MEAN IF THEY TOLD ME THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE GOING TO BE A MAINTENANCE ISSUE I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, AND NOW MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO TO FIND SOME KIND OF HELP WITH THIS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. WHERE ELSE CAN I COMPLAIN AND STEER OTHERS TO.

JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM DODGE DEALERSHIP. ONE FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS A COUPLE AT LOW SPEED <15 AND A COUPLE AT HIGHER SPEED >40 THE VEHICLE STALLS OR TURNS OFF. YOU LOSE POWER STEERING (HARD TO CONTROL) AND BRAKING(HARD TO PRESS PEDAL). NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS TO SHOW FAILURE ANYWHERE. VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND MAY NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR WEEKS. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING THERE IS NO SURE FINDINGS TO THE CAUSE AND MAYBE A TSB OUT THERE BY NOW SHOWS THE PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE QUALITY OR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY SHOULD THE WIFE BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A RATE OF SPEED AND IT CUT OUT ON HER AND SHE PANIC OR BE IN RUSH TRAFFIC. IT NOT ONLY ENDANGERS HER BUT ANY VEHICLE AROUND HER. BEFORE I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY LOTS OF MONEY I DON'T HAVE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE AND WHY IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND NOT RESOLVED. IF YOU PUT IN GOOGLE 2007 PACIFICA AWD STALLING WHILE DRIVING YOU GET MORE THAN ENOUGH RESPONSES AND IT LED ME TO HERE EVEN.

I AM SURE THAT YOU ARE SWAMPED WITH TOYOTA ISSUES, BUT WE CHRYSLER OWNERS ARE GETTING UPSET AT THE PERFORMANCE ALSO. BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS, TORQUE CONVERTERS, ROUGH IDLES, STALLING, BUMPING GEARS, ETC.

Engine Sub Frame-AKA Engine Cradle is rotting out. Vehicle was inspected on July 6, 2023 at Jim Rielh's Chrysler -Jeep Dealership located at 32899 Van Dyke, Warren Michigan 48093. The report came back as " FOUND FRONT ENGINE CRADLE / FRAME ROTTED / RUSTED OUT." This vehicle has been well maintained and has been Safety Inspected by the same dealership in 2021 & 2022 and never advised there was a problem with the Engine Cradle. Now in 2021, three engine mounts were replaced to correct clunking noises when accelerating, but again there was never an advisement of a potential Engine Cradle Rot. The vehicle had 127, 640 miles on it when it was inspected by the dealer. The results were reported to Chrysler Customer Care via email and by phone but no response as of today.

I am requesting that NHTSA issue a recall for the known defect and serious safety hazard for the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. These vehicles need to be recalled effective immediately and removed from our highways. The engine cradle rot poses a a risk for accidents and the manufacturer is privy to these problems and had legal action taken against them for a similar notification of different years. The 2007 models should be recalled as well. Please issue the recall and do the right thing. Who knows, you may save someone’s life who is unaware of the dangerous equipment they are driving. Not to mention the manufacturer needs to either to buy back the vehicles, pay for the costly repairs and or compensate the owners who are unable to drive their vehicle or are forced to purchase another vehicle because Chrysler and those in authority have failed and refused to act with integrity and take action to make the recall. There are countless consumers who complain of the same problems of cradle rot, but nothing has been done. Please note the following:l, which lists the court case and consumer complaints: https://www.casemine.com/judgement/us/59145d2dadd7b049341f482e https://www.carproblemzoo.com/chrysler/pacifica/frame-rust-problems.php Please provide a follow up with what action you are going to take since Chrysler refuses to issue a recall and a representative stated, the recall would need to come from NHTSA and will not do the right thing. Thank you.

After fueling, especially if the take is full. The engine will die several times in the first 5 or more miles driven. Of course, this also means no power steering. You may be turning at an intersection, on a freeway or just traveling on a surface street. Still, you are without power and no power steering putting the car and occupants in danger. Usually, putting the car in neutral and starting gets you going again, at least until the next event. We have had as many a 5 such events on a 4.5 mile drive home form the gas station. This has now progressed. The last fill up, the nozzle cut of several times and restart over and over to finally fill the take. We knew it could take more fuel, Ultimately it took on 15 Gallons. This time, even after the second day and about 20 miles on the car it will still die at random, especially at idle, say at a stop light. Also with this phenomenon, when the gas gouge gets to just below a half of a tank reading, it may suddenly drop to (E) empty. This is not a good feeling, even though we know it is a bogus reading. The gauge may or may not read correctly at about a half tank the next time the car is started, after an overnight rest. We suspect this may relate to the saddle bag fuel tank system. Currently the check engine light is on, solid, not flashing. However, this problem after a fill up has occurred when there was no check engine light active. Our mechanic is aware of the problems and we are scheduling a visit again and will make sure he is aware of all of these issues. Safety issue, yeah, like suddenly rear-ended or t boned with loss of power and almost impossible steering without power steering. Thankfully, the emergency flashers work fine.

PURCHASED THE PACIFICA TOURING AWD IN SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER, 2013. IT WAS IN FABULOUS CONDITION. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST OF EIGHT OCCURRENCES WHEREIN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING DIDN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY, LIKELY BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING. FIVE OF THESE EIGHT OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WITHIN ONE MILE OF MY RESIDENCE. ADDITIONALLY, IT OCCURRED ONCE IN A PARKING LOT, ONCE IN AN INTERSECTION, AND ONCE AS I WAS GETTING ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. A FEW OF THE OCCURRENCES ALMOST RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS. I WAS AT THE MERCY OF THE OTHER DRIVERS IN THOSE CASES. I HAVE SIX GRANDCHILDREN. I'M HESITANT TO TAKE THEM ON TRIPS BECAUSE I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MY PACIFICA'S SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. MY VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT SEEMS EERILY SIMILAR TO NUMEROUS OTHER OWNER'S 2007 PACIFICA SAFETY COMPLAINTS. I PRAY CHRYSLER WILL INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE ENGINE FAILURE BEFORE A PRECIOUS LIFE IS LOST. CHRYSLER, PLEASE IDENTIFY THE CAUSE AND NOTIFY THE OWNERS OF THE FIX SOONEST. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO CONTINUE NEGLECTING THESE SAFETY CLAIMS. I'M CERTAIN $$$ IS CAUSING YOUR HESITATION TO INVESTIGATE; HOWEVER, IT WILL SEEM LIKE PENNIES COMPARED WITH THE COST YOU WILL UNDOUBTEDLY PAY DUE TO NEGLIGENCE IN THE EVENT OF INJURY OR FATALITY. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR HEARING MY CONCERN, DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, IDENTIFYING THE SOLUTION, AND QUICKLY IMPLEMENTING YOUR PLAN TO REPAIR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. SAFETY HAS A PRICE, BUT HUMAN LIFE IS PRICELESS.

LATEST EXAMPLE 12/7/15 - NEARLY AT A STOP ON SLIGHT DECLINE, READY TO MERGE WITH STREET TRAFFIC FROM PARKING LOT. SUDDENLY LOST POWER AND BRAKE STOPPED RESPONDING AND LOCKED UP. STEERING LOCKED UP. WAS SLOWLY ROLLING INTO ONCOMING TRAFFIC.
Dec 09, 2015
WHEN DRIVING, OUR 07 PACIFICA WILL RANDOMLY LOSE POWER AND THERE WILL BE NO BRAKES AND NO STEERING. I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE ENGINE WHILE THE CAR IS STILL IN MOTION. THIS HAS OCCURRED ON THE FREEWAY AND ALSO AROUND TOWN. IT IS MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN I AM APPROACHING A CORNER OR STOP LIGHT/ STOP SIGN AND SLOWING DOWN TO TURN OR TO STOP. ON THE FREEWAY, I WAS NOT SLOWING DOWN OR PREPARING TO STOP WHEN IT HAPPENED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND ETC LIGHT (ELECTRONIC THROTTLE CONTROL LIGHT) COME ON WHEN IT HAPPENS. WE HAVE TAKEN OUR CAR TO NON-CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS/AUTO SHOPS OVER THE SUMMER BECAUSE IT'S LESS EXPENSIVE TO SCAN. THE CAR WAS IN THE SHOP THREE TIMES THIS SUMMER, AND THE PROBLEM WAS NOT CORRECTED. THIS IS A FRIGHTENING OCCURRENCE AND WE MAY HAVE TO TAKE IT IN TO OUR CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ANYWAY. *TR
Aug 24, 2014
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? I'D HATE TO SEE MY WIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THE SAFETY SYSTEMS ON THE VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME--SUCH AS HAPPENED WITH THE GM PRODUCTS. UPDATED 3/3/2015 *JS

THIS LETTER IS TO FILE A COMPLAINT REGARDING CHRYSLER GROUP LLC FOR REPAIRS MADE TO A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS FRONT ENGINE CRADLE WITHIN A 10-YEAR OR 150,000 PERIOD SIMILAR TO THE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE OF A PREVIOUS RECALL TO CHRYSLER PACIFICA MODEL YEARS 2004-2005. I EXPERIENCED AN ENGINE CRADLE SAFETY CONCERN AND THIS MATTER WAS SIMILAR TO THAT INCLUDED IN THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA MODEL YEARS 2004-2005 RECALL. THE PERFORATION OF CORROSION ON THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS A SAFETY HAZARD AND AS A RESULT WOULD NOT PASS THE VIRGINIA SAFETY INSPECTION REQUIREMENTS, THUS REQUIRING REPAIR. THREE ATTEMPTS WERE MADE TO FIND A USED PART, BUT ALL PARTS RECEIVED HAD CORROSION IN THE SAME PLACE. THE REPAIR WAS MADE WITH CHRYSLER OEM PARTS. SINCE THIS SAFETY ISSUE WAS A SIMILAR THE PREVIOUS CHRYSLER RECALL, AND TO CORRECT A SAFETY HAZARD, I REQUEST REIMBURSEMENT FOR THE REPAIR.

SERVICE ADVISER SAID THE STRUTS ON THOSE VEHICLES WERE "A PIECE OF SCRAP , BUT YOU DIDN'T HEAR THAT FROM ME". INFORMED THAT THEY HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEM WITH THOSE. WHY IS THERE NO RECALL?

SECOND TIME THIS HAPPENED IN TWO MONTHS. DRIVING IN DRY, PLEASANT WEATHER CONDITIONS ON RESIDENTIAL ROAD LESS THAN 30 MPH. CAR STALLED--LOST POWER STEERING, BRAKES, ETC. OIL LIGHT DEFINITELY WAS ON. COASTED TO SIDE OF THE ROAD AND TURNED CAR OFF THEN ON. CAR STARTED RIGHT BACK UP. OIL LIGHT WAS OFF NOW. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, WHO SAID NO COMPUTER CODE WAS GENERATED, ALTHOUGH THERE WAS AN ABS CODE (WHICH APPEARED TO BE TOTALLY UNRELATED). ELECTRONIC THROTTLE BODY APPEARED CLEAN, BUT TOOK IT APART AND CHECKED IT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS CONDITION SIMILAR TO OTHER STALLING PROBLEMS I HAVE READ ABOUT ON 2004-06 PACIFICAS, AND THAT HAD LED TO A RECALL ON OLDER MODELS. CALLED CHRYSLER RECALL, BUT THEY HAVE NO RECORD ON THIS PROBLEM. WHY WON'T CHRYSLER DO ANYTHING ON THIS ONE? *TR

I PURCHASED A BRAND NEW 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN APRIL 2007. I'VE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE MOUNTS THREE TIMES ALREADY (JANUARY 2008, AUGUST 2009 AND SEPTEMBER 2010). MOST RECENTLY, I AM EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND OIL PRESSURE BUT THE DEALER DOES NOT SEEM TO THING THERE IS A PROBLEM. I'M TIRED OF THE RUN AROUND THAT I'M GETTING. LAST MONTH, (AROUND THE FIRST WEEK IN AUGUST 2010) I BROUGHT THE CAR TO DEALER BECAUSE IT WOULD NOT START. I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE IT WAS ACTING ODD, CHECK THE BRAKES, CHECK THE ENGINE MOUNTS SINCE I KNEW THESE WERE PROBLEMATIC IN THE PAST. ALSO, ASKED THEM PERFORM AN OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD THE CAR NEEDED A NEW BATTERY, SOME BRAKE WORK AND THE TENSIONER NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AN OIL CHANGE WAS DONE. I WAS TOLD THE ENGINE MOUNTS WERE INSPECTED AND THEY WERE FINE AND THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WELL, LITTLE OVER A MONTH LATER AROUND SEPT. 22 2010, THE TRANSMISSION FELT LIKE IT WAS DRAGGING, ENGINE WAS EXTREMELY HOT, RPM'S SEEMED TO BE OUT OF WACK AND THE OIL FUEL WAS REALLY LOW. THE CAR WAS INSPECTED AND I WAS TOLD THE RUBBER AROUND THE ENGINE MOUNTS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND WAS MAKING THE ENGINE PULL AWAY FROM THE TRANSMISSION WHICH WAS CAUSING THE PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD IT WAS NORMAL TO BURN / LOOSE THAT AMOUNT OF OIL. I WAS CHARGED ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE AND I TOOK THE CAR HOME. WELL TODAY, SEPT. 28TH, I GET IN THE CAR AND THE LOW OIL LIGHT GOES ON AND THE TRANSMISSION STILL SEEMS / FEELS WEIRD. WHAT IS GOING ON WITH CHRYSLER? NOW I HAVE TO BRING THE CAR BACK IN AND MOST LIKELY THEY WILL TRY TO CHARGE ME ANOTHER DEDUCTIBLE TO FIX THE OIL PROBLEM, TRANSMISSION AND/OR ANOTHER ENGINE MOUNT. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER KNOWS THESE ARE PROBLEMS BUT DOES NOT DO ANYTHING TO HELP THE CONSUMER. THEY SHOULD RECALL THE CAR FOR THE ENGINE MOUNT PROBLEM. HEAVEN FORBID IF I HAVE MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THE ENGINE MOUNTS CRACK AT THE SAME TIME. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE. *TR

OUR 2007 PACIFICA CONTINUES TO HAVE PROBLEMS. ONE CHRYSLER DEALER STATED IT WAS SAFE TO DRIVE AND GOOD TO GO. 2 DAYS LATER STUDS ON TIRE BROKE OFF. OTHER SIDE STUDS WERE LOOSE AND HAD TO BE TIGHTENED. WE TOOK VEHICLE TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALER WHO INSPECTED VEHICLE AND HAD A LIST OF THINGS WRONG INCLUDING ,REAR AND FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS BEING BROKE. POWER STEERING FLUID LEAKING, TRANSMISSION LINES LEAKING, REAR BRAKE PADS AND FRONT ROTORS NEED REPLACING AND WHEEL ALIGNMENT RIGHT CAMBER OFF IN FRONT AND REAR ALIGNMENT OFF AND RIGHT TOE IS OFF. THE FIRST DEALER STATED THEY DID A FRONT AND REAR WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND LESS THAN3 WEEKS LATER THE ALIGNMENT IS THAT FAR OFF. SOMETHING RADICALLY WRONG WITH THIS VEHICLE, AND/OR FIRST CHRYSLER DEALER. ALL OF THIS AFTER GOING THROUGH 3 PLUS SETS OF SHOCKS AND 2 TIE ROD ENDS AND NOW ANOTHER WHEEL ALIGNMENT! VERY UNSAFE, VEHICLE WITH STILL UNDIAGNOSED REASON FOR ALL THIS. CHRYSLER INSISTS THE VEHICLE CAN BE REPAIRED. WE DO NOT TRUST THAT STATEMENT ANY LONGER. IT IS OUR BELIEF THAT THIS CAR IS DEFECTIVE. WE BELIEVE SOMETHING IN THE SUSPENSION OR DESIGN IS CAUSING ALL OF THESE PARTS TO CONTINUE BREAKING, AND CONTINUOUS ALIGNMENT,TIRE, BRAKE PROBLEMS. NOW MOTOR MOUNTS AND POWER STEERING, AND TRANSMISSION LEAKS. WE DID NOT GET ANY VALUE FROM THIS CAR PURCHASE. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DEFECTIVE CAR WE ARE STUCK WITH. WE COULD HAVE BEEN INJURED TWICE ALREADY BY TIRES ALMOST FALLING OF CAR. NOW WE NEED TO WORRY ABOUT FIRES FROM LEAKING LINES AND ALSO WORRY ABOUT BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. HELP US PLEASE! THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE TAKEN OFF THE ROAD AND WE NEED TO BE REIMBURSED. IN THE MEANTIME WE CANNOT SAFELY DRIVE CAR ANY DISTANCES AS WE WAIT FOR AN ANSWER FROM CHRYSLER CORP. ON WHAT THEY CAN DO FOR US. *TR

FROM THE TIME THE CAR WAS NEW WHEN THE ABS OR TRACTION CONTROL WAS ENGAGED THE CAR MADE A CLICKING NOISE. AS NEVER HAVING A CAR WITH THIS FEATURE I THOUGHT WAS NORMAL. IN MARCH OF 2010 MY BRAKES FAILED ON MY 07 PACIFICA. UPON TAKING THE CAR TO THE DEALER I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS CONTAMINATED FLUID IN THE BRAKE SYSTEM AND THE ENTIRE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED. NEW CALIPERS, ABS MODULE, LINES, HOSES MASTER CYLINDER ECT. THE BILL WAS $2500 WHICH I HAD TO PAY BECAUSE THEY ARE CLAIMING CONTAMINATED FLUID. I HAD BEEN THE ONLY PERSON TO SERVICE THE BRAKES ON THAT CAR AND DID NOT ADD FLUID WHEN REPLACING THE FRONT PADS. WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED THE CAR WOULD COME TO A STOP AND START ROLLING AGAIN. I AVOIDED CRASHING BY STANDING ON THE PEDAL AS HARD AS I COULD. AFTER REPLACING THE ENTIRE BRAKE SYSTEM THE CLICKING HAS STOPPED. I HAVE DRIVEN CHRYSLER/ DODGE CARS FOR 12 YEARS... THIS ONE MAY BE MY LAST. *TR

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!!

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

SHORTLY AFTER STARTING AND DRIVING THE CAR, WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES, THE CAR COMPLETELY STOPS RUNNING WITH NO WARNING LIGHTS. JUST DIES WHILE DRIVING AS IF THE IGNITION WAS JUST TURNED OFF. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES CAUSING A SIGNIFICANT SAFETY HAZARD AS THE POWER BRAKES AND STEERING IMMEDIATELY STOP WORKING. THE CAR IS UNDER AN EXTENDED MANUFACTURER'S BUMPER-TO-BUMPER WARRANTY SO THE REPAIR SHOULD BE COVERED AS IT IS A CLEAR DEFECT. APPARENTLY, BECAUSE THE CAR JUST STOPPED, NO CODES WERE RECORDED AS TO THE NATURE OF THE PROBLEM. HENCE, THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO IDENTIFY A PROBLEM. THE DEALER RECOMMENDED THAT THE COST OF A SUSPECTED REPAIR BE MADE BY THE OWNER BECAUSE THEY COULD NOT DEFINITELY DEFINE THE PROBLEM AS NECESSARY TO BE REIMBURSED UNDER THE WARRANTY. RECOMMENDED REPAIR WAS DONE AT OWNER'S COST YET THE SAME THING HAPPENED AGAIN. AN EARLIER MODEL OF THIS CAR HAD A RECALL TO REPAIR A SIMILAR IF NOT IDENTICAL PROBLEM.

WE GOT IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE AND THE FIXED IT - COST $1100. 3 WEEKS LATER WHILE GETTING ONTO A FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, I PRESSED THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, HEARD A BANG LIKE SOMETHING BLEW UP IN THE ENGINE, CAR WAS SMOKING IN THE EXHAUST AND THE IMMEDIATELY DIED. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE WE WERE LATER INFORMED A ROD HAD COME LOOSE AND PUT A GASH IN THE ENGINE AND OIL PAN. CALLED IT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND ONLY FIXED AT ENORMOUS COST. CAR DEAD AT 82,625 MILES. 5 YEARS OLD. IF THIS "ROD" WOULD HAVE BROKE LOOSE ANY OTHER TIME OR WHILE DRIVING FASTER IN MIDDLE LANE, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, SINCE IT WAS RUSH HOUR.

THE ENGINE WAS RACING AT 6000 RPMS, WHILE DRIVING AT 50 MPH, THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND A BANGING NOISE COULD BE HEARD UPON TURNING THE STEERING WHEEL. THE DEALER STATED THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HOWEVER, WHEN THE CONSUMER DROVE THE VEHICLE FOR 20 MILES, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER, AND AFTER AN INSPECTION, THE DEALER STATED THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE RELAY WAS FAULTY. THE CONSUMER WAS ASSURED THE ISSUES WERE FIXED. HOWEVER, ON HER WAY HOME, THE MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED AGAIN, THE ENGINE WAS RACING AND THE ENTIRE VEHICLE JOLTED EVERY TIME SHE SHIFTED INTO, DRIVE, PARK OR REVERSE. THE POWER DOOR LOCKS FAILED AND THE CONSUMER WAS LOCKED INSIDE THE VEHICLE FOR SEVERAL MINUTES.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 PACIFICA IN 2009 WITH ABOUT 30,000 MILES FROM CHRYSLER, ELK GROVE, CALIFORNIA. UPON REACHING ABOUT 57,000 MILES, WHEN ACCELERATING, I WOULD HEAR LOUD METAL BANGING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I WOULD ALSO FEEL A HARD JOLT WHEN ACCELERATING. AFTER VISITING CHRYSLER, ELK GROVE SERVICE CENTER, I WAS TOLD THAT 3 OF MY PACIFICA ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS FAILED AND NEEDED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT AT ABOUT $1000.00 DOLLARS. I ASKED IF THIS PROBLEM WOULD OCCUR AGAIN AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD HAVE NO FURTHER PROBLEMS WITH THE ENGINE MOUNTS BY CHRYSLER, ELK GROVE. I PAID FOR REPLACEMENT. AT APPROXIMATELY 105,000 MILES, I BEGAN TO HERE LOUD METAL POUNDING AFTER ACCELERATING FROM THE ENGINE AREA. I COULD HEAR METAL KNOCKING WHEN I SLOWLY DROVE OVER BUMPS IN THE STREET. I COULD ALSO FEEL MY CAR GIVE A HARD JOLT WHEN ACCELERATING. AFTER VISITING THE CHRYSLER, ELK GROVE SERVICE CENTER, I WAS TOLD 3 OF THE ENGINE MOUNTS FAILED AND NEEDED IMMEDIATE REPLACEMENT FOR $1083.00 DOLLARS. I TOLD THE SERVICE PERSON THAT I HAD THE SAME SERVICE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THERE WOULD BE NO ADDITIONAL PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER SERVICE REPLIED THE ENGINE MOUNTS ON THE CHRYSLER FAIL DUE TO WEAR AND TEAR. MY CONCERNS ARE I DONT FEEL SAFE KNOWING THAT MY ENGINE IS NOT PROPERLY SECURED TO THE FRAME OF MY VEHICLE. CHRYSLER SERVICE ALSO TOLD ME DRIVING WITH FAILED MOUNTS WILL LEAD TO OTHER PROBLEMS. THERE IS NO WARNING WHEN THESE ENGINE MOUNTS WILL FAIL. THE SERVICE MANUAL DOES NOT MENTION THESE PARTS SHOULD BE INSPECTED FOR WEAR AND TEAR AT CERTAIN INTERVALS OR MILES. PLEASE HELP WITH FAILED MOTOR MOUNTS.

PURCHASED A USED 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA (6-SPEED AUTO) FROM CHRYSLER DEALER WITH AROUND 40K MILES. IMMEDIATELY NOTICED THAT THE TRANSMISSION SHIFT POINTS WERE NOT WHAT THEY SHOULD BE. THERE WERE VERY NOTICEABLE BANGS WHEN THE CAR SHIFTED GEAR. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REFLASH SHIFT POINTS. THE WORK WAS COMPLETED AND CAR APPEARED TO SHIFT MORE NORMALLY BUT STILL FELT SOME GOOD BUMPS WHEN SHIFTING. TOOK CAR TO DEALER FOR SECOND SERVICE TRIP AND THEY STATED THAT MOTOR MOUNTS NEEDED REPLACED. I SEARCHED THE INTERNET AND FOUND AN UNENDING LIST OF IDENTICAL PROBLEMS. THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE FAILED FROM 2004 TILL THE PRESENT. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. *TR

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

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the driver’s side headlight failed to operate as needed. The local dealer was contacted and provided an estimate for the repair. Due to the cost of the repair, the manufacturer was notified of the failure however, offered no assistance since there was no recall on the vehicle. The contact eventually took the vehicle to an independent mechanic who was unable to repair the headlight and referred him to the NHTSA for assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 122,000.

Several Times while driving and often when turning at a slow speed the Pacifica stalls. This is a common problem with no help from Chrysler. No codes come up and several mechanics and dealers have tried to fix the problem to no avail and at a lot of expense. In checking this problem out on the internet, many, many people have complained about this problem because it is highly dangerous and puts peoples lives at risk! Why doesn't Chrysler investigate and find the reason and provide a fix or why won't the NHTSA look into this problem. It also is known to happen to 2005 and 2006 Pacificas.

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.

I'VE READ DAYS WORTH OF INFORMATION ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB AND THIS IS THE MOST COMMON ISSUE BUT NOONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. I KNOW I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER AND I WILL WARN OTHERS NOT TO ALSO. NOT ONLY THAT BUT MY SEATBELTS DO NOT WORK ANYMORE, TWO OF THEM ANYWAY. MY KIDS HAVE TO SIT IN THE FAR BACK TO BUCKLE UP. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED. I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMPS REPLACED, THE VAPOR CANISTER AND VAPOR FILTER REPLACED, GAS CAP, ECT. NOTHING REPAIRS THE ISSUE.

WE WERE TOLD THAT THE SUV HAS NOT DUPLICATED THE PROBLEM WHILE IN THE DEALERSHIP WHILE BEING REPAIRED AND THEY HAVE SAID THAT THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN OVER 100 MILES BY THEM WITHOUT SHUTTING OFF. IF THIS IS TRUE, WHY DID IT SHUT OFF WHILE MY FAMILY WAS DRIVING IT 2 DAYS AFTER WE PICKED IT UP. THEY ARE NOT TELLING THE TRUTH. WE DO NOT WANT TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A 4TH TIME FOR THIS PROBLEM UNTIL WE FIND OUT WHAT CAN BE DONE.

POWER STEERING FAILS COMPLETELY FOR ABOUT 30 SECONDS OR MORE. THIS OCCURS WHEN THE VEHICLE TRAVELS THROUGH ANY WATER ON THE ROAD THAT MAY SPLASH INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT.

THE POWER ASSISTED STEERING WILL STOP COMPLETELY NOT ALLOWING THE DRIVER TO MANEUVER THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE POWER STEERING IS RESTORED. THIS PROBLEM WILL CAUSE THE DRIVER NOT TO BE ABLE TO CHANGE THE DIRECTION OF THE VEHICLE IN ANY DIRECTION TO COMPLETE A TURN OR AVOID A COLLISION! IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AND CAN OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING. WE ARE LOOKING INTO THE PROBLEM. IT MAYBE THAT A SPLASH GUARD WAS LEFT OFF AND NOT REPLACE DURING A PREVIOUS SERVICE. THIS HAS NOT BEEN CONFIRMED TO BE THE FIX.

I HAVE HAD REGULAR SERVICE TO THE VEHICLE AND IT HAS BEEN USED PRIMARILY FOR WORK AND ERRANDS. HOWEVER, THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE HAD TO BE REPLACED 3 TIMES AND THIS LATEST ISSUE HAS COMPOUNDED THE PROBLEM. *TR

ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR THE VEH WAS DRIVING VERY SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT RESUME NORMAL UNTIL REACHING 50MPH, THEN THE NEXT WEEK WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35MPH THE VEH BEGAN SHAKING VERY BAD FORCING ME TO DROP SPEED TO ABOUT 15MPH. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A REAR DRIVE SHAFT AND ENGINE MOUNTS AND FROM WHAT I HEAR THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHS. DRIVE SHAFT IS WELL OVER $1000.00 NOT TO MENTION LABOR, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

WE OWNED A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA CAR FOR 3 MONTHS, 46000 MILES APPROX, WHEN PURCHASED. AFTER THE FIRST 3 MONTHS OF OWNERSHIP, THE REAR TIRES WENT COMPLETELY BALD , WIRES POKING OUT, THE CAR WAS BOTTOMING OUT ON EVERY BUMP. THE SPRINGS WERE WEAK WE WERE TOLD. THE SHOCKS WERE BROKEN, THE TIRES WERE COMPLETELY OUT OF LINE AND THE DEALER DID FIX AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE. 2 NEW TIRES REPLACED , WHEEL ALIGNMENT, TWO NEW SHOCKS, AND SUPPOSEDLY SPRINGS FIXED. AT APPROX. 8 MONTHS LATER THE VEHICLE WAS AGAIN BOTTOMING OUT. ONCE AGAIN WE WERE TOLD SHOCKS BROKEN. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND REPLACED SHOCKS, DEALER DID WHEEL ALIGNMENT AND A TIE ROD END WAS REPLACED. IN APPROXIMATELY 10 MONTHS WE AGAIN NOTICED THE CAR WAS MAKING NOISE AND BOTTOMING OUT. ONCE AGAIN SHOCKS WERE BROKEN AND THE OTHER TIE ROD END NEEDED REPLACING. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE WAS NOTIFIED FROM THE FIRST INCIDENT AND SUBSEQUENTLY AT EACH ADDITIONAL OCCURENCE. THE DEALER PAID AT THE FIRST OCCURENCE, CHRYSLER PROVIDED SHOCKS AT SECOND OCCURENCE, ON THE LAST OCCURENCE CHRYSLER REQUIRED AN INSPECTION BY A CHRYSLER DEALER. ANOTHER TIE ROD WAS REPLACED. WE WERE TOLD BY DEALER CAR WAS GOOD TO GO. WE TOOK TRIP TO PICK UP FAMILY AT AIRPORT AND HAD TO BE TOWED. UPON REINSPECTION 2 DAYS LATER, WE WERE TOLD 2 STUDS HAD COMPLETELY BROKEN OFF LEFT REAR TIRE, AND TIRE COULD HAVE COME OFF ON FREEWAY AT SPEEDS OF 65 MPH. THEY ALSO DISCOVERED TWO LUGS ON RIGHT REAR TIRE WERE LOOSE. THIS WAS THE SECOND INCIDENT WHERE OUR SAFETY WAS AT RISK. 4 SETS OF SHOCKS 2 TIRES 2 TIE ROD ENDS AND 3 WHEEL ALIGNMENTS LATER.

I DID NOT HAVE THE PUMPS CHANGED. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF LOSS OF POWER ASSIST STEERING IS LOST AND POWER ASSIST BRAKES MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO NAVIGATE TO A STOP TO RESTART IT. *TR

I TURNED THE CAR OFF AND BACK ON AND THE CAR DROVE NORMALLY FOR ABOUT A MILE, AND THEN BEHAVED THE SAME WAY. I WENT TO THE DEALER FOR AN INSPECTION A MONTH AFTER PURCHASING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE PERFORM SERVICE INDICATOR WAS DISPLAYED, THE ONLY SUGGESTION WAS TO FIX MOTOR MOUNTS.

WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE ROAD IN TOWN, GOING BETWEEN 40-50 MPH, MY CAR SHIMMIED. I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO A MECHANIC, AND HE FOUND THAT ALL 4 MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. THEY WERE REPLACED AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THEY WERE BROKEN AGAIN. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WAS CAUSING THE MOTOR MOUNTS TO BREAK. HE HAS REPLACED MY MOTOR MOUNTS A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. MY PACIFICA STILL SHIMMIES AND SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 40-50 MPH. WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS, IT WILL STOP, BUT SOMETIMES SHIMMIES WHEN I TOUCH THE GAS AGAIN. PASSED 50 MPH, THE CAR DOES NOT SHIMMY AND SHAKE. *TR

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.

WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT I CAN HEAR A RUBBING TYPE NOISE. I TOOK IT INTO THE TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS COMPLAINING OF THE NOISE, BUT THE DEALERS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TURN I HEAR A RUBBING NOISE AND NOW WHEN I REVERSE THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING/RUBBING NOISE SIMILAR TO THE NOISE THAT I GET WHEN TURNING. THE NOISE GENERALLY OCCURS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AFTER I HAVE STARTED MY CAR AND REVERSE IT. IF MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE IT WILL DO THE NOISE THEN TOO! I'M UNSURE WHAT IS CAUSING THE NOISE AND SINCE THE DEALERS CAN'T DUPLICATE IT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING EITHER. I'M QUITE CONCERNED AS TO WHAT CAN BE CAUSING THESE NOISES AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE LINKED! I NOTICED ANOTHER PACIFICA OWNER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID SO NOW I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST MY CAR.

I PURCHASED A '07 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FEBRUARY. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACED. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT SHUTTERING AND ACTING AS THOUGH IT DOESN'T SHIFT BETWEEN 30-35 MPH. I'VE HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED ON IT AS WELL. AFTER THAT I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE TIE RODS REPLACED, AND THE STRUTS. SINCE I'VE NOTICED THAT ALMOST EVERYONE IS HAVING THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND MOTOR MOUNT PROBLEMS AS WELL AS OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. SINCE I'VE HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER REMOVED WHILE IT WAS STILL IN SHOP I GET MY CAR BACK AND WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL IT VEERS COMPLETELY TO THE LEFT. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CLEAN THEIR HANDS AND SAYING IT'S A DEFECT WITH THE CAR; THEY HAVE TO CONTACT CHRYSLER. HELLO-IT DIDN'T DO THIS BEFORE I TOOK IT IN AND NOW IT IS SINCE THEY'VE 'FIXED' IT. IT'S ACTUALLY UNBELIEVABLE SINCE SO MANY CAR MANUFACTURERS ARE FAILING YOU'D THINK THEY'D RECALL THIS PROBLEM, FIX IT AND KEEP WHAT REPUTATION THEY HAVE LEFT. *TR

I WAS TOLD AGAIN BY A SERVICE WRITER IT WAS NORMAL UNTIL IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2008 AND IT IS NOW MARCH IT HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP FOR REPAIRS 4 TIMES FOR THE TRANSMISSION AND TWICE FOR THE BRAKES AND A TOTAL OF 15 DAYS AND RUNNING.

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