2007 Chrysler Pacifica Engine Problems

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.

MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BAD ON THE CHRYSLER THERE IS 1,000 OF REPORTS ONLINE FOR THIS ISSUE PARTS ARE ON BACK ORDER ALL OVER AND IT IS A VERY KNOWN ISSUE AND A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN IT OCCURS ONCE VEHICLE IS STARTED SHIFTS MOVES AT ALL THE ENGINE WILL LIFT OR JUMP UP TOWARDS THE HOOD OF THE CAR CAUSING THINGS TO BEND AND TWIST WHILE MOVING THAT SHOULD NOT

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.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING AT UNKNOWN SPEEDS, THE RPMS DECREASED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ADDITIONALLY, THE PASSENGER SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT WAS FLICKERING. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO KEY CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (2020 N DETROIT ST, XENIA, OH 45385) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE EXHAUST GAS RE-CIRCULATION VALVE AND THE COMPUTER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,540.

THE MOTOR MOUNTS CONTINUE TO FAIL. KEEP NEEDING REPLACED.

STALLS WHILE DRIVING, LOSING STEERING, BRAKING, LIGHTS. TOO MANY CLOSE CALLS WHILE DRIVING. HAVE REPLACED, EGR VALVE ALONG WITH COUPLE OF OTHER SENSORS AND CONTINUE TO HAVE ISSUE WITH IT GROWING IN SEVERITY AND OCCURRENCES. *TR

THE CAR WILL STALL UNDER 40 MPH, ALMOST GOT T-BONED

MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING NO CODES

I HAVE HAD THIS 2007 PACIFICA SINCE 2009, BOUGHT IT WITH 12,000 MILES ON IT. IT NOW HAS 109,000 MILES. IN THE PAST YEAR THE CAR HAS STALLED INTERMITTENTLY WHEN SLOWING DOWN AT STOPS, TOOK IT IN, NO PROBLEM FOUND. IT HAS ALSO HAD LIGHT SMOKE COMING FROM UNDER THE HOOD INTERMITTENTLY SINCE I BOUGHT IT, HAD IT LOOKED AT SEVERAL TIMES, NO PROBLEM FOUND. THIS WEEK I WAS DRIVING THE CAR AT @30ISH MPH WHEN IT STALLED ON A BUSY ROAD, BUT WAS LUCKILY ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ROAD WITH NO POWER STEERING SAFELY. IT HAS BEEN AT THE DEALERS FOR 3 DAYS AND NO PROBLEM FOUND AT THIS POINT. I HAVE CHILDREN AND NO LONGER FEEL SAFE DRIVING THEM IN THIS VEHICLE. IF THER IS "NO PROBLEM" TO FIX, THAT IS A MAJOR PROBLEM, BECAUSE A CAR STALLING WAITING TO BE HIT AND SOMEONE INJURED, IS A PROBLEM!!! I HAVE CALLED CORPORATE AND AWAITING TO SPEAK WITH A CASE MANAGER ABOUT THIS ISSUE, BUT FROM WHAT I HAVE READ ONLINE, IF THE DEALERSHIP CANNOT MIMIC THE ISSUE, THEN CORPORATE WILL LIKELY SAY THERE IS NO PROBLEM. I CANNOT JUST WAIT TO SEE IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN, AND NEXT TIME ON THE HIGHWAY AS I HAVE READ IN OTHER CASES, WHEN SOMEONE COULD BE HURT! ALSO CONCERNED WITH THE "NO PROBLEM" WHEN IT SMOKES UNDER THE HOOD, AS I HAVE READ A COUPLE OF INCIDENTS WHERE THE CAR CAUGHT FIRE. HAVE A RENTAL CAR NOW...HOPE CORPORATE DOESN'T BLOW ME OFF!

DRIVE AT ABOUT 60 MPH WHREN MY CAR JUST SHOUT DOWN . HAD NO STERTING OR BREAKS . LUCKY THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME IT HAS HAPPED AND I KNEW TIO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND TURN THE KEY ,DROP IT IN DRAVE AND A AWY YOU GO . THE OTHER TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED TO MANY TO COUNT I WAS SLOWING DOWN TO CORNER VERY SCARY WHEN YOU CANT STOP OR TURN YOUR WHEEL . NO WARNING LIGHTS OR SIGNS .

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER ONE ATTEMPT. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS DESIGNED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

ENGINE RUSTS AND CRADLES LIKE IF IT'S GOING TO FALL OUT THE CAR. WHEN DRIVEN ENGINE SHAKES AND MOVES BACK AND FORTH MAKING A POUNDING SOUND. FEELS VERY UNSAFE.

WITHIN MINUTES OF PULLING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING SIMPLY SHUT DOWN. UNFORTUNATELY, IT WAS A SHOCK TO ME WHEN I LOST ACCELERATION AND POWER STEERING IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING AND IT TOOK ME A FEW SECONDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT HAD HAPPENED. I PULLED OVER WITH SOME DIFFICULTY AND PUT THE CAR INTO PARK. I WAS ABLE TO RE-START THE VEHICLE AND RETURNED HOME. SINCE THAT DATE, MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE AS IT WAS OUR TEENAGER'S PRIMARY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. I SHUDDER TO THINK WHAT COULD HAVE HAPPENED TO HER AS SHE IS A NEW DRIVER AND MY OWN REACTION TO THE INCIDENT WAS INAPPROPRIATE. I SHOULD HAVE PUT THE CAR INTO NEUTRAL AND RE-STARTED IT, BUT THANK GOD I DID LIVE AND LEARN. SINCE THAT INCIDENT MY HUSBAND HAS EXPERIENCED THE SAME LOSS OF POWER ON THREE ADDITIONAL OCCASIONS. I AM IN CONSTANT FEAR THAT THE CAR WILL SHUT DOWN WHILE PULLING OUT INTO TRAFFIC. IT HAS ALREADY HAPPENED ONCE. THANKFULLY OTHER DRIVERS WERE AWARE AND WERE ABLE TO SLOW DOWN IN TIME FOR MY HUSBAND TO RE-COVER. AS I HAVE READ MANY OTHER INCIDENT REPORTS CONCERNING MY VEHICLE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE, I AM HOPEFUL THAT CHRYSLER WILL ADDRESS THE PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE ENDS UP INJURED OR DEAD.

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
