2005 Chrysler Pacifica Complaint Log

FUEL TANK VALVE DEFECTIVE, ALLOWING FUEL INTO CHARCOAL CHAMBER, ALSO ISSUES WITH OTHER VALVES RELATED TO THE GAS TANK. FUEL MODULE PCM AND TANK REPLACEMENT WERE REQUIRED. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH A STICKY ACCELERATOR PEDAL. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER DURING THE SUMMER 2008 AND WE WERE TOLD THE THROTTLE CABLE IN THE ACCELERATOR HAD CARBON BUILD UP AND HAD TO BE CLEANED. THE DEALER CLEANED IT AND IT WAS FINE UNTIL WE HAD TO TAKE IT BACK ON 12/21/09. AGAIN THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE CABLE. THE FIRST REPAIR WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. THE SECOND TIME COST US $125. I BELIEVE OUR PACIFICA HAS THE SAME PROBLEM AS THE TOYOTAS'. I'M SURE WE'LL HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN. *TR

I WAS EXITING OFF THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP. AS I ACCELERATED OUT OF THE STOP A GUSH OF HOT RADIATOR FLUID CAME SHOOTING OUT OF AN AREA RIGHT ABOVE THE GAS PEDDLE AND BURNED MY RIGHT ANKLE. I SUSTAINED SECOND DEGREE BURNS AND WAS TREATED AT MY LOCAL DOCTOR'S OFFICE. *TR

MY WIFE AND I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WHICH WE ARE HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE GAS PEDAL STICKING. WHILE ACCELERATING THE PEDAL STICKS AND JERKS YOU FORWARD UNTIL YOU HAVE SMOOTH ACCELERATION WHILE PUSHING THE GAS PEDAL. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN TO THE DEALERS ABOUT THIS AND THEY SAY EVERYTHING IS FINE BUT HAVE NOTICED THE PROBLEM THEMSELVES. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS ALOT OF THE SAME PROBLEMS AFTER BROWSING THE INTERNET THAT OTHERS ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS IS GOING TO GET SOMEONE KILLED IF THIS ISN'T LOOKED INTO. THANK YOU. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. IT EVENTUALLY WENT OFF BUT THEN THE BRAKES FAILED. THE PEDAL WENT ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR BEFORE THE CAR CAME GRINDING TO A HALT. THE ABS LIGHT NOW GOES ON AND OFF AND THE BRAKE PEDAL GOES ALL THE WAY TO THE FLOOR AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM AND SPEAKING TO A MECHANIC, I FOUND THAT THE SENSORS HAD FAILED. IT IS A FREQUENT OCCURRENCE AMONG OTHER 2005-2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS I'VE COME INTO CONTACT WITH ACROSS THE INTERNET. *TR

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS AN ABS WARNING LIGHT THAT COMES ON AND OFF, I WENT TO MIDAS AND THEY TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL RELATED TO THIS, I WENT TO DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID ONLY A TECHNICAL ADVISORY WAS ISSUED SAYING TO CHANGE ALL THE BRAKE SENSORS IF ONE FAILS--THIS WOULD COST ME ABOUT $500--WHICH I DON'T HAVE. THE DEALERSHIP SAID I WOULD STILL HAVE BRAKES BUT THE ABS SYSTEM WOULD NOT WORK SO I WOULD BE MORE LIKELY TO SKID. THIS DOESN'T SOUND SAFE TO ME--I WENT ON LINE AND FOUND MULTIPLE SITES STATING THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PACIFICAS--SO WHY WON'T CHRYSLER PAY TO HAVE IT FIXED, AND IF THEY DON'T VOLUNTEER WHY DOESN'T SOMEONE IN OUR GOVERNMENT MAKE THEM? HELP! I HAUL KIDS AROUND ALL DAY IN MY PACIFICA AND I WANT THEM ( AND ME) TO BE SAFE. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS AT 50,000 MILES. ABS SENSORS HAD TO BE REPLACED AND RECALL FOR FUEL MODULE...BUT MOST UPSETTING THE CAR STALLS AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHILE MAKING TURNS..IE: PULLING INTO PARKING SPACES,ETC.. I HAVE BROUGHT IT TO DEALERSHIP AND LIKE MANY OTHERS WITHOUT ENGINE LIGHT ON THEY CANNOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM, THEREFORE WE ARE SENT ON OUR WAY WITH NO FIX!! I HAVE 4 CHILDREN AND I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THIS CAR!! WHY WONT CHRYSLER STAND BEHIND THESE VEHICLES!!!*TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT STOPPED FUNCTIONING. THE BULB HAD BEEN REPLACED FIVE TIMES. ALSO, WHILE DRIVING, THE VEHICLE JERKED FORWARD AND THE TRANSMISSION WOULD SLIP INTO GEARS. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 54,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 86,584.

I HAVE HAD MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR LESS THAN A WEEK WHEN MY FUEL GAUGE WENT FROM 1/2 OF A TANK TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING. THEN IT WENT BACK UP TO 1/2 OF A TANK A MINUTE LATER. WHEN I WENT DOWN A HILL THE VEHICLE STALLED AND HAD TO BE PUT IN PARK AND RESTARTED. I HAVE TWO SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS SCARED ME. I LOOKED UP MY VIN NUMBER BUT FOUND NO RECALL, HOWEVER I FOUND THIS SIMILAR PROBLEM IN OTHER 05 PACIFICAS AND I FOUND THAT THEY HAD BEEN RECALLED. I HAVE MY CAR BACK AT THE DEALERSHIP GETTING FIXED BUT AM DESPERATE TO FIND OUT IF THIS RECALL COULD BE MY PROBLEM. *TR

CAR STALLS AND READS THAT THE TANK IS EMPTY EVEN WHEN THERE IS GAS IN THE VEHICLE. IT OCCURS REGULARLY. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET. I WAS TOLD EGR SYSTEM, THEN THROTTLE BODY, AND NOW I SUPPOSEDLY NEED A $1000 FUEL PUMP JOB. VERY IRRITATED. *TR

ENGINE SEIZED WITH NO WARNING. ALL MAINTENANCE WAS MAINTAINED BUT SOMEHOW THE ENGINE WAS STARVED FOR OIL. ENGINE ONLY HAS 52,000 MI. CHRYSLER WON'T OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE AND WERE HORRIBLE TO DEAL WITH. NEW ENGINE WILL COST $8,000 USED $5,000. I'VE ONLY HAD THE CAR FOR 2 YRS. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. RIGHT HEADLIGHT WILL QUIT WITH NO WARNING, THEN WILL COME BACK ON ITS OWN ACCORD. DEALER CHECKED FOR PREVIOUS REPORTS OF PROBLEM AND FOUND NONE. MECHANIC SAID THE HARNESS COMES LOOSE AND MUST BE RESEATED. NO EASY TASK SINCE IT IS UNDER THE BREATHER TUBE AND DIFFICULT TO GET TO. ALSO, LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL WILL QUIT WORKING THEN COME BACK ON. WIRING HARNESS SEEMS TO BE INTACT SO OTHER OPTION WOULD BE BULBS (2). HOWEVER, IF THEY ARE BAD, WHY DOES THE SIGNAL RESTORE ITSELF? DEALER HAD NO ANSWER FOR THAT MYSTERY EITHER. PROBLEM STARTED MID-SUMMER 2008 AND HAS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY EVER SINCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 45 MPH, THE CONTACT'S VEHICLE WAS PASSED BY AN 18-WHEELER TRACTOR TRAILER AND HER SUN ROOF SUDDENLY EXPLODED WITH A LOUD BANG. SHE WAS ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER AND THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT ASSIST WITH THE REPAIR COSTS. THE CONTACT HAD TO WAIT UNTIL JUNE 16, 2008 FOR THE PARTS TO ARRIVE FOR THE REPAIR, AND THE DEALER REPLACED THE SUN ROOF AT THE COST OF $343.74. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 30,607 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 30,652. UPDATED 07/15/08. *LJ UPDATED 007/15/08

OUR DAUGHTER WAS OPERATING OUR 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON I75 IN FLORIDA WHEN THE A NEW RIGHT REAR (1501 MILES) GOODYEAR INTEGRITY TIRE BLEW OUT CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO SPIN AND SKID 300 FEET BEFORE HITTING GUARDRAILS WITH BOTH THE FRONT AND REAR OF THE CAR. AN EYE WITNESS CONFIRMED THE BLOWOUT WHICH RESULTED IN COMPLETE TREAD AND SIDEWALL SEPARATION TO THE ATTENDING FLORIDA HIGHWAY PATROL OFFICER. OUR DAUGHTER AND FOUR YEAR OLD GRANDSON WERE TRANSPORTED BY AMBULANCE TO THE PASCO REGIONAL HOSPITAL TO DETERMINE THE EXTENT OF THEIR INJURIES. THE FOUR YEAR OLD WAS NOT INJURED, HOWEVER OUR DAUGHTER SUFFERED NECK AND BACK TRAUMA AND IS CURRENTLY UNDERGOING PHYSICAL THERAPY THREE TIMES PER WEEK. ALL FOUR GOODYEAR TIRES WERE PURCHASED NEW IN LATE MARCH 2008 FROM AN AUTHORIZED GOODYEAR DEALER IN TAMPA FLORIDA. *TR

I BEGAN HAVING A PROBLEM ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WITH MY ABS LIGHT COMING ON. IT WOULD COME ON AND TURN OFF RANDOMLY. RECENTLY THE LIGHT CAME ON PERMANENTLY AND MY BRAKES BEGAN GRINDING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THE ABS SENSOR IS BAD. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS CRACKED AND MUST BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, AND HAS 47000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE DEALER THAT WE PURCHASED IT FROM ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY RECALL INFORMATION REGARDING EITHER PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT BOTH PROBLEMS ARE DANGEROUS, SINCE THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY IN MY SITUATION. IF CRACKED MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT TAKEN CARE OF, THEY COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE COMPONENTS. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THESE PROBLEMS AT THEIR COST. I'VE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT EVEN AFTER THEY'VE "FIXED" THE PROBLEM, THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK BOTH OF THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. *TR

WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES SUDDENLY, THE CAR WOBBLES VIOLENTLY AND ALMOST UNCONTROLLABLY. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 3 TIMES SINCE I HAVE HAD THE CAR. THE DEALER SAYS THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE BRAKES, BUT DID NOTHING TO LOCATE THE PROBLEM. *TR

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

MOTOR MOUNTS CRACKED 23,000 MILES,CV JOINTS BAD,AIR COMPRESSOR BAD,BELTS SQUEAL AND CHIRPING,ENGINE STALLS ON TAKE OFF, ENGINE SHUT OFF ON HIGHWAY WHILE DRIVING DANGEROUS,BRAKES FAILED, ABS SENSORS BAD FRONT RIGHT AND LEFT. TRANSMISSION FAILURE. HEADLIGHTS GO OUT WHEN SIGNAL LIGHT IS ON. *TR

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

MY MICHELIN ENERGY PLUS LX4 TIRES HAVE BEEN LOSING AIR PRESSURE AT AN EXTREME RATE. WE MUST PUT AIR IN THEM AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. TOOK THE CAR (2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA) TO THE ONLY LOCAL MICHELIN DEALER. WHEN WE EXPLAINED THE PROBLEM, WITHOUT EVEN LOOKING AT THE TIRE, TECHNICIAN SAID HE ALREADY KNEW THE PROBLEM- THAT IT IS VERY COMMON. MICHELIN TIRES REACT WITH ALUMINUM RIMS (WHICH MY PACIFICA HAS) AND CAUSE OXIDATION. HE SAID IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU LIVE- THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM. TO FIX THE PROBLEM, THEM PUT A NEW SEALANT BETWEEN THE TIRES AND THE RIMS- COST OF APPROX. $80. HE COULD NOT TELL ME IF AND/OR WHEN THIS WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SEEMS TO NEVER HAVE HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM. MY PACIFICA WAS TAKEN INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION 1 1/2 WEEKS AFTER THE TIRES WERE "RE-SEALED" BY THE MICHELIN DEALER. AT THAT TIME, THE TIRE PRESSURE WAS CHECKED AND SET TO CORRECT PRESSURE (NOT SURE IF THEY WERE LOW AT THE TIME) AS STATED ON MY RECEIPT. 1 WEEK LATER, ALL TIRES ARE DOWN AT LEAST 8 PSI- 2 ARE DOWN 12 PSI. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS A STALLING PROBLEM. AT SLOW SPEEDS IT STALLS OUT ON ME AND ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN TRAFFIC SLOWS DOWN. *TR

I OWN A 2005 PACIFICA THAT SUDDENLY BEGAN DISPLAYING THE ABS DASH TROUBLE LIGHT TWO YEARS AGO. SUBSEQUENTLY THE BRAKES PULSE AND GRIND AS LONG AS THE LIGHT STAYS LIGHT. AT TIMES IT FEELS AS THOUGH THE VEHICLE IS APPROACHING TOTAL BRAKE FAILURE. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AND REPLACED THE FRONT RIGHT BRAKE SENSOR. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATING CONDITION WITH NO BRAKE PROBLEMS. A MONTH LATER THE SAME BRAKE ISSUES REAPPEARED. I RETURNED TO THE DEALER WHO THE REPLACED THE SAME SENSOR AND ANOTHER (FRONT LEFT) SENSOR. THE VEHICLE RETURNED TO NORMAL OPERATING CONDITIONS FOR APPROXIMATELY THREE MORE MONTHS. NOW THE LIGHT HAS COME ON AGAIN. IN REVIEWING THE INTERNET WHILE SEARCHING FOR "2005 PACIFICA ABS BRAKE PROBLEMS", I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT CHRYSLER HAS DESIGNED IN A REVENUE STREAM FOR A POORLY DESIGNED ABS BRAKE SYSTEM. THERE ARE MANY INTERNET COMPLAINTS REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE. WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN ISSUED? ARE YOU PROTECTING WHAT REMAINS OF CHRYSLER'S ASSETS? FAIR IS FAIR. THE ABS LIGHT REMAINS LIT ON MY VEHICLE AND THE DEALER WANTS TO BOLT ON THE SAME REPLACEMENTS. WHY IS A SAFETY ISSUE REGARDING THE BRAKING SYSTEM OF A VEHICLE NOT HIGH ON THE PRIORITY LIST? *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BECAME STUCK CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO ACCELERATE WITHOUT MANUAL FORCE. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE LOW FUEL AND CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS BUT THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 32,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 10 MPH, AN ABNORMAL NOISE EMITTED FROM THE ENGINE. THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE BOLTS ON THE ENGINE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 107,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO START THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT IT WOULD NOT START PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE FAILED. THEY FURTHER STATED THAT THE COST OF THE REPAIR WOULD BE $881. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER TO SEE IF HER VIN IS INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)). THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 97,000.

I BROUGHT MY 2005 PACIFICA IN FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT (ANCIRA). THEY CLEARED THE MEMORY AND GAVE IT BACK, IT IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK ON WHEN I PICKED IT UP SO I LEFT IT. THEY DID SOME THINGS TO THE ENGINE TO FIX IT. THE ENGINE BEGAN BURNING OIL AFTER ANCIRA DEALERSHIP SERVICED IT FOR ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT IT TO BOERNE CHRYSLER SUPERSTORE BECAUSE I DID NOT APPRECIATE HOW I WAS TREATED AT THE ANCIRA DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT THE BOERNE CHRYSLER SUPERSTORE BUT NOW LEAKS OIL. I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE IT HAS DONE NOTHING BUT CAUSE US PROBLEMS. I AM SURPRISED I WAS NOT STRANDED FOR IT BURNING OIL. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND THE THOUGHT OF IT POSSIBLY LEAVING US STRANDED IS FRUSTRATING. WE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE WITH THE EXPECTATION OF NOT HAVING THESE SERIOUS ENGINE ISSUES. THE LEAST CHRYSLER COULD DO IS REIMBURSE US THE $100 COPAY BECAUSE IT IS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY NOW EVEN THOUGH THE ENGINE PROBLEMS WERE OCCURRING UNDER THE BEGINNING FULL COVERAGE WARRANTY. WE HAVE PURCHASED TWO DODGE TRUCKS AND THIS VEHICLE AND ALL OF THEM HAVE HAD TO BE SERVICED BEFORE 40,000 MILES. WE HAVE LOST FAITH IN CHRYSLER/DODGE AND WILL NO LONGER CONSIDER PURCHASING ONE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN MICHIGAN IN 2006 AND IMPORTED INTO CANADA. THE VEHICLE HAS 31,000 MILES ON IT AND THE ENGINE IS BURNING OIL RAPIDLY. I NOTICED A NOISE COMING FROM THE ENGINE AND FOUND THE OIL LEVEL TO VIRTUALLY NOT APPEAR ON THE DIPSTICK. THE CHECK OIL LIGHT NEVER CAME ON. THIS COULD HAVE LED TO THE FAILURE OF MY MOTOR WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAVE ALSO HAD A CYLINDER MISFIRE AND SPARK PLUGS REPLACED DUE TO THIS. *TR

TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE SUNROOF GLASS WAS PARTIALLY SEPARATED FROM THE MOUNTING FRAME. THE GLASS WAS VERTICAL IN THE AIR STREAM UNTIL THE CAR WAS MOVED TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE GLASS WAS FULLY REMOVED AND TAKEN TO A GLASS REPAIR SHOP TO REATTACH TO THE MOUNTING FRAME. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHENEVER THE FUEL TANK REACHES THE HALF FULL MARK, IT IMMEDIATELY DROPS TO EMPTY. THE FAILURE CAUSES THE VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WITHIN A MILE OF BEING DRIVEN. THE CONTACT DID NOT NOTICE ANY DIFFERENCES IN THE VEHICLE PRIOR TO THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN DIAGNOSED BY THE DEALER. TWO YEARS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED FOR THE PCM MODULE, WHICH HAS BEEN CHANGED THREE TIMES SINCE THE CONTACT HAS OWNED THE VEHICLE. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 53,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY 105, VEHICLE RAN OVER SOME ROAD DEBRIS (PIECE OF METAL) THAT SUBSEQUENTLY PUNCTURED FUEL TANK. FUEL TANK WAS TEMPORARILY PATCHED TO STOP LEAK. FUEL TANK IS MADE OF HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE PLASTIC AND IS UNSHIELDED IN THE FORWARD AREA OF THE TANK, EXACTLY WHERE IT WAS STRUCK BY THE ROAD DEBRIS. *TR

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS A DEFECTIVE HEADLIGHT HARNESS BUT IS NOT COVERED UNDER THE RECALL BECAUSE OF THE VIN #. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BUT THEY SAID OH WELL, TAKE TO DEALERSHIP AND PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. I ONLY GET 7VOLTS OF POWER TO THE LEFT HEADLIGHT AND THE RIGHT I HAVE 10.5VOLTS- BARELY ENOUGH TO LIGHT THE RIGHT HEADLIGHT. EVEN THOUGH MY VIN # IS NOT ON THE LIST TO BE RECALLED, IT APPEARS CHRYSLER DID NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM IN THE LATER VIN # PACIFICA'S. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FESS UP THAT THIS IS AN ENGINEERING SNAPFU THAT IS DANGEROUS TO US SINCE THE HEADLIGHT WILL ONLY FAIL, AND THAT IS AT NIGHT WHEN SAFETY IS A BIG ISSUE. *TR

HEADLIGHT BULBS KEEP BURNING OUT. AT LEAST 6 TIMES SINCE 2007. THE FIRST TIME BOTH LAMPS WERE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH ONLY ONE HAD GONE OUT, THE REST OF THE TIMES THEY WERE REPLACE INDIVIDUALLY AND EVERY TIME SYLVANIA BULBS WERE USED. I FEEL THIS CONSTITUTES A SAFETY PROBLEM AND NOT NORMAL MAINTENANCE. ALSO THE DRIVERS DOOR LOCK MECHANISM BROKE IN DEC. 2009 WHERE THE DOOR WOULD NOT LATCH CLOSE AND HAD TO BE TIED SHUT THE TAKE IT FOR REPAIR. I FEEL THIS IS ALSO A SERIOUS SAFETY FAILURE. *TR

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING FWD THAT WAS PURCHASED ON JUNE 28,2008. SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB 3 TIMES. I HAVE PLACED A CALL TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND ALSO CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR ON ANY RECALLS THAT THEY HAVE. I HOWEVER, DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT HAS NEEDED A HEADLIGHT REPLACED THOSE MANY TIMES IN ONE YEAR. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE STALLED, BUT DID NOT SHUT OFF. THE TRANSMISSION TOOK TWO SECONDS TO OPERATE, BUT WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO REVERSE. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FAILURE WAS CAUSED BY A TRANSMISSION LINE LEAK. THE DEALER CUT AND REPLACED THE LINE. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 47,200 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 47,322.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE WENT FROM HALF A TANK TO EMPTY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCEPT FUEL. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE INOPERABLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE FUEL PUMP AND WIRING HARNESS CAUSED THE FAILURES. THE FUEL PUMP, HEADLIGHT BULB, AND THE WIRING HARNESS WERE REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURES CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 05V066000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING: HEADLIGHTS) AND NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V432000 (POWERTRAIN: AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE (TCM, PCM)). THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 68,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 69,000. UPDATED 03/14/08. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL GAUGE WAS NOT READING PROPERLY

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE WINDOWS AND MIRRORS ARE TOO SMALL AND OBSTRUCT VISIBILITY. WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY, SHE STRUCK ANOTHER VEHICLE. SHE HAS STRUCK THREE VEHICLES AND BELIEVES THAT THE LACK OF VISIBILITY IS THE CAUSE. THE SPEED, POWERTRAIN, AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,599 UPDATED 03-05-08 *BF. UPDATED 03/05/08 *TR

HAD BRAKES SERVICED 11/2/07. ABS LIGHT CAME ON THE VERY SAME DAY. TECH SAID IT WAS JUST A SENSOR FAILURE, BUT CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE. ON DEC. 22, LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN AND WENT OFF. ON DEC. 23, LIGHT CAME ON AND WENT OFF. ON DEC. 24, LIGHT CAME ON AND I EXPERIENCED A GRINDING WHEN I DEPRESSED THE BRAKES. SENT IT TO DEALER BUT THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. PICKED IT UP ON DEC. 26. PICKED IT UP AND HAD TO PUT IT BACK IN DEC. 27 FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. THEY SENT TO LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER WHO SAYS I NEED A NEW ABS MODULE. I'VE DONE RESEARCH THAT TELLS ME THAT PURCHASING A NEW ABS MODULE WILL NOT FIX THIS PROBLEM. *CN

I WAS DRIVING ME CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND NOTICED A SMELL OF FUMES AND WHEN I STOPPED FOR A LIGHT AND PROCEEDED THE CAR MADE A RUMBLING NOISE AS IF I WAS GOING OVER GRATING WHICH I WASN'T. THEN I NOTICED S,OKE COMIN OUT OF THE HOOD. I AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS OVERHEATING BUT MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS NOT ON HOT. I WENT TO A GAS STATION AND THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A LITTLE OIL SPILLED AND THAT WAS IT. IT HAD STOPPED. I WENT TO MY DESTINATION, TURNED CAR OFF AND CAME BACK 5 MINUTED LATER AND CAR STARTED UP FINE. PROCEEDED BACK ON HIGHWAY AND AGAIN SMELLED FUMES. SUDDENLY CAR JUST CEASES ON HIGHWAY. THANK GOD I HAD MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND I WAS IN THE RIGTH LANE GOING VERY SLOW. I PULLED OVER AT WHICH TIME SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT OF THE HOOD AND FIRE WAS COMING OUT FROM UNDER THE CAR. I CALLED 911 AND CAR BURST INTO FLAMES! AUGUST OF 2007 I BROUGHT MY CAR TO DEALER BECAUSE I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND THEY FIXED IT. THANK GOD I WASN'T IN THE LEFT LANE OR THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A SEVERE ACCIDENT AND MY DAUGHTER AND I MIGHT NOT HAVE GOTTEN OUT IN TIME.

FRONT LOWER BUMPER ON 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FELL OFF WHILE TRAVELING ON FLORIDA TURNPIKE. HEARD LOUD THUD WHILE DRIVING, RUNNING OVER SOMETHING ROUGH. ROAD AHEAD WAS CLEAR, IN REAR VIEW MIRROR SAW DARK STRIP BEING RUN OVER BY NUMEROUS CARS. WONDERED HOW I MISSED SEEING SOMETHING SO BIG. THIRTY MILES LATER WE STOPPED. LOOKED AT THE FRONT OF THE CAR, AND REALIZED IT WAS OUR LOWER BUMPER. THANK GOD WE WERE NOT KILLED, NOR WAS ANYONE BEHIND US. CHRYSLER SERVICE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED, LOOKED AT CAR. SAID, SORRY, WE CAN DO NOTHING, THE PART IS MISSING. SEARCHED INTERNET, FOUND 5 OTHER CASES OF FRONT LOWER BUMPERS FALLING OFF PACIFICA'S WHILE DRIVING. CAR ONLY HAS 26,934 MILES ON IT. NOW CHRYSLER WANTS $ 811.- TO FIX THE PROBLEM? AS I SAID, THANK GOD NOBODY WAS KILLED. NOTHING DONE TO FIX OR REPLACE PART. AFRAID TO PUT IT BACK ON THE VEHICLE UNLESS IT HAPPENS AGAIN WITH DIRE CONSEQUENCES. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE VEHICLE COASTED TO A STOP AND FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO A PARKING LOT. THE FOLLOWING DAY, GASOLINE WAS ADDED AND THE VEHICLE WAS RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE FAILED SIX TIMES AND WAS THEN TAKEN TO THE DEALER. THE DEALER STATED THAT BOTH FUEL PUMPS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VIN AND ENGINE SIZE WERE UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 67,350 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000.

HEADLIGHTS AND DASH LIGHTS ALTERNATE ERRATICALLY FROM BRIGHT TO DIM AT LOWER ENGINE SPEEDS. SOMETIMES ALMOST OFF THEN VERY BRIGHT. HAVE HAD IT SEVERAL TIMES TO DEALER AND ONLY REPLACED HEADLIGHT SWITCH AFTER I WAS INFORMED WAS NORMAL OPERATION ON THE FIRST TWO VISITS. VERY ANNOYING AT STOP LIGHTS AT NIGHT. SOME TIMES THINK WILL GO OUT ALL TOGETHER. *TR

CLUNCKING NOISE WHEN BACKING UP AND TURNING. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A TSB TO REPLACE THE TRANSFER UNIT IN THE AWD VEHICLES. A LARGE NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS HAVE THIS ISSUE, AND AFTER THE WARRANTY EXPIRES, THE CONSUMER HAS TO PAY FOR THE EXPENSIVE REPAIR. *TR

WITHIN ABOUT 3 MONTHS OF PURCHASING MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA MY ABS LIGHT STARTED COMING ON. NOW IT COMES ON AND STAYS ON. AFTER INQUIRING ABOUT THE PROBLEM FROM SEVERAL SHOPS I HAVE BEEN TOLD IT IS A VERY COSTLY FIX RANGING FROM 1000-2000 DOLLARS. I AM AFRAID THAT THIS PROBLEM COULD RESULT IN BRAKE FAILURE AT SOME POINT AND CAUSE A WRECK. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS PART AND FIX THE MANY WHO ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT IT. *TR

VEHICLE FUEL INDICATORS VERY ERRATIC, SHOWS FULL TANK THEN QUICKLY DROPS TO EMPTY SHOWING NO MILES TO EMPTY AND CAR STALLS OUT. DEALERSHIP REPLACED FUEL PUMPS AND PROBLEM PERSISTS. KEEP GAS TANK ABOVE 1/2 TO AVOID STALLING. DEALER DOES NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO. REFERRING THEM TO SAFETY RECALL F44 ? FUEL PUMP MODULE AND/OR REPROGRAM PCM (DOES NOT APPLY TO THIS VIN ALLEGEDLY). WAITING ON RESPONSE. *TR

DRIVING CAR THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON, FIRST OCCURRENCE DEALER REPLACE THE FRONT ABS SENSORS UNDER THE WARRANTY. JUST 400 MILES ABOVE THE 36000 MILES THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. THIS TIME IT WAS THE REAR ABS SENSORS AND I HAD TO PAY FOR THEM MYSELF (OUT OF WARRANTY). THERE IS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN FROM THE MANUFACTURER ON THIS PART RECOMMENDING DEALERS TO REPLACE ALL 4 SENSORS FOR CUSTOMERS. THIS PART IS OF POOR QUALITY AND THE MANUFACTURER KNOWS IT. LIVES ARE PUT AT RISKS AT CUSTOMERS EXPENSE. THIS PART SHOULD BE RECALL FOR ALL VEHICLES AFFECTED. *JB

TODAY I TOOK MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA INTO THE SHOP FOR NEW TIRES, I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT DO AN ALIGNMENT BECAUSE THE TIE RODS LOOKED BAD AND TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER, I DID. I THEN FOUND OUT FROM MY LOCAL DEALER THAT UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS ALL THEY SEE IS CHRYSLER PACIFICAS...MY CAR HAS LESS THAN 45K MILES AND I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THE ENTIRE FRONT END SUSPENSION IS WORTHLESS AND RIGHT NOW I HAVE BAD GEAR BOXES, A BROKEN ENGINE MOUNT, AND CAN COUNT ON HAVING FRONT AXEL PROBLEMS AS WELL. THE DEALER ALSO HAD A 2004 BROUGHT IN TODAY AND THAT CAR AND MINE WERE RAISED UP AND THE REPAIR MEN SHOWED ME AND EVERYONE ELSE AROUND THE IDENTICAL PROBLEMS ON BOTH CARS. *TR

FAULTY ABS AND TRACTION CONTROL SENSOR ON 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. BOTH LIGHTS ARE ON. CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY SAY THEY HAVE NOT HEARD ANY COMPLAINTS! I AM THE SECOND OWNER, BUT THE FIRST SENSOR WAS REPLACED AT 18,000. THIS SEEMS TO BE WIDESPREAD, AND I AM SURPRISED CHRYSLER IS NOT RECALLING THIS, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS IS ALSO A SAFETY ISSUE. I DID A QUICK SEARCH FOR "ABS SENSOR TRACTION CONTROL CHRYSLER PACIFICA" AND FOUND QUITE A FEW EXCERPTS FROM WEBSITES. I HAVE THEM IN AN EXCEL FILE--I WOULD LIKE TO SEND THEM TO YOU. LET ME KNOW AN E-MAIL ADDRESS. *JB UPDATED 09/18/07 *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, HE DECELERATED AND SPARKS WERE PRESENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE BRAKES. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE BRAKE PAD FELL OFF. THE BRAKES AND ROTORS WERE REPAIRED ON THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 40,000. UPDATED 01/11/08. *LJ

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, THE CONTACT HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE AND THE VEHICLE VEERED TO THE LEFT. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE FRONT DRIVER SIDE AXLE FAILED. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE PART WAS ON BACK ORDER. AS OF AUGUST 31, 2007, THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 73,200.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON JUNE 24, 2005: 10 STALLING EPISODES TO DATE. 1ST & 2ND STALLING EVENTS OCCURRED WITHIN 6 WEEKS OF PURCHASE; BOTH INVOLVING SLOW-SPEED LEFT-HAND TURNS. CAR COMPLETELY STALLED - NO ABILITY TO STEER. ONCE IN PARK, PAC ABLE TO START. TOOK CAR BACK TO DEALER WHERE, AFTER 1 DAY'S WORTH OF INVESTIGATION, TECHNICIANS SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE PROBLEM & SINCE NO DIAGNOSTIC CODES APPEARED, THERE WAS NOTHING TO FIX. I GOOGLED "CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLS" & FOUND 100S OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS FOR BOTH 2004 & 2005 MODELS. I PRINTED EXAMPLES & HEADED TO DEALER. AFTER CONFRONTING TECHNICIANS WITH THE COMPLAINTS THEY ADMITTED THEY HAD SEEN SEVERAL OTHER PACS FOR THE SAME STALLING PROBLEM. IN FACT, TECHNICIANS HAD REPLACED IAC MOTOR ON OTHER PACS THEY HAD SERVICED FOR STALLING PROBLEM - SAME REMEDY SUGGESTED IN GOOGLED COMPLAINTS BUT NOT OFFERED TO ME. DEALERSHIP REPLACED IAC MOTOR FOR FREE. DUE TO GENERAL CONCERN ABOUT APPARENT DANGEROUS NATURE OF ALL PACS & OUTRAGE OVER DECEPTIVE SERVICE AT DEALER, I COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER CORP. GOT A FEEBLE CORPORATE RESPONSE ABOUT "MY DISSATISFACTION WITH MY SERVICE NEEDS." CHRYSLER NEVER EVEN MENTIONED STALLING PROBLEM. IAC FIX SEEMED TO WORK UNTIL 1.5 MONTHS AGO WHEN PAC STALLED AGAIN. I DECIDED IT WAS TIME TO RESPOND TO THE RECALL INVOLVING THE PCM REPROGRAMMING & HEADED BACK TO DEALER. 3 WEEKS AFTER PCM FIX, CAR IS STALLING EVERY TIME I SLOW DOWN, WHETHER TURNING OR NOT. PAC IS CURRENTLY AT DEALER. TECHNICIANS REFUSE TO DEAL WITH THIS AS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM WITH PAC MODEL - OBVIOUSLY GIVEN NO DIRECTION FROM CHRYSLER CORP TO DO SO. DEALER SAYS WE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING FOR ANYTHING THEY DO TO FIX PROBLEM - TOTALLY ABSURD SINCE NOTHING THEY HAVE DONE TO DATE HAS FIXED PROBLEM. BOTTOM LINE: PAC MODELS ARE EXPERIENCING SYSTEMATIC ENGINE FAILURES=TOTALLY UNSAFE CARS. HOPE NHTSA INVESTIGATES PROBLEM & FORCES CHRYSLER TO OFFER CUSTOMERS REAL SOLUTIONS TO POTENTIALLY FATAL FLAW. *TR
