2006 Chrysler Pacifica Electrical System Problems

Key fob program

ENTERED FREEWAY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND LOST POWER. STARTING EXITING FREEWAY THEN CAR EXCELERATING ON ITS OWN. ENGINE WAS REVING AND HUMMING SO MUCH I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRUAL AND HIT THE BRAKES AS I EXIT THE FREEWAY TO SAFELY PARKED. CALLED TOW TRUCK FOR SERVICE.

AS IT WOULD SEEM IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT HAS FAILED AND LEAKS OIL ON AND INTO THE HARNESS PLUG. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND CAN PRESENT BOTH A COSTLY FIX AND A FIRE HAZARD. WHILE DRIVING THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE'S OIL PRESSURE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE SHOP OT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED AND WAS LEAKING OIL INTO AND ON THE HARNESS PLUG. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR TOMORROW. *TR

WHILE GETTING CAR SERVICE MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SUBFRAME IS ALL ROTTEN NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR . HE SAID THE MOTOR MAY FALL OUT..

I STARTED THE CAR AND COULD NOT SHIFT, MOVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, RUN RADIO, PUT THE FRONT WINDOWS DOWN....LIGHTS WORK, TRUNK LID RAISED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 20 MPH. ALSO, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND LURCHED FORWARD. WHILE BRAKING ON WET PAVEMENT, THE ABS MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE. ALSO, A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS AND THE FUEL CAP INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOM AHL CHRYSLER (672 KINGS AVE, LANMOR, OH) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST.

I CAN'T COMPLETELY FILL MY FUEL TANK. AT 1/2 TANK IT BOTTOMS OUT TO EMPTY. THE FUEL GAUGE IS COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE.WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE FUEL IS LOW IT WILL STALL AND SPUTTER. 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 FIRST ISSUE OCCURRED IN MAY WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA UPHILL AT ABOUT 35 MPH. ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE HILL MY CAR STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY AND LOCKED UP. 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.
