ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)
I HAVE A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH A SAFETY PROBLEM. WARNING LIGHTS ON THE IP INDICATE A FAILURE, ILLUMINATING ?ESP/BAS? [ELECTRONIC STABILITY PROGRAM/BRAKE ASSIST SYSTEM]. I HAVE HAD THREE DEALERS RUN THE DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND OTHER TESTS TELL ME THERE IS A ?CLOCKSPRING? FAILURE IN THE STEERING ANGLE SENSOR, WHICH NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER WILL NOT PROVIDE REPAIR REPLACEMENT PARTS TO THE DEALER SO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM CAN BE CORRECTED. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS PRODUCT FAILURE SINCE I COULD LOSE CONTROL OF THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA UNDER EXTREME BRAKING OR IN CASE OF A SKID ON A SLIPPERY ROAD SURFACE. SINCE CHRYSLER IS NOT WILLING TO CORRECT THIS SAFETY DEFECT, THEY MUST BE COMPELLED TO RECALL THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR THE SAFETY OF THE DRIVERS AND PASSENGERS. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES
THIS IS NOT THE FIRST TIME THAT MY CAR HAS STALLED OUT WHILE GOING UNDER 40 MPH, ALSO WHEN MAKING A TURN IT WILL STALL AND I HAVE NO BRAKES OR POWER STEERING! IT IS VERY SCARY. I ALMOST GOT HIT BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE!! I HAVE RESEARCHED IT AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S STALLING UNDER THE SAME CONDITIONS AS MINE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL OR SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. ESPECIALLY SINCE IT IS MY FAMILY CAR AND I HAVE TWO DAUGHTERS UNDER THE AGE OF 3. I DO NOT WANT OR NEED A FATALITY WRECK TO OCCUR BEFORE THEY DO SOMETHING! I AM EXTREMELY SCARED TO DRIVE NOW AND IT IS OUR ONLY VEHICLE! *TR

SERVICE BRAKES, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
ON SEPTEMBER 15TH I WAS TAKING MY SON TO SCHOOL WHEN ALL OF MY IDIOT LIGHTS CAME ON AND STAYED ON. ONCE I GOT BACK HOME AND TURNED THE CAR OFF I NOTICED THAT SOMETHING WAS STILL RUNNING. AFTER OPENING THE HOOD I REALIZED IT WAS MY ABS SYSTEM THAT WANT SHUTTING OFF. I WAS ABLE TO DISCONNECT THE SENSOR BUT HAVE BEEN TOO FEARFUL TO DRIVE IT SINCE THEN. MY FATHER RAN A CODE CHECKER AND NOTHING WAS SHOWING UP EXCEPT THE FUEL CAP (WHICH WAS REPLACED BUT STILL SHOWING THAT WARNING LIGHT). HE DROVE THE CAR AND NOTICED THAT THE SPEEDOMETER WASN'T WORKING. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, STEERING
AS I WAS COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT AT A MINIMUM SPEED ABOUT TO MAKE A RIGHT TURN THE CAR SUDDENLY CUT OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED AND I WAS UNABLE TO MAKE TURN, THEN AS SUDDENLY AS IT SHUT OFF IT CAME BACK ON IN MID TURN. THIS HAS OCCURRED TO ME SEVERAL TIMES APPROX A YEAR AFTER BUYING THIS VEH IN 2010 AND ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS BUT ALWAYS AS I WOULD COMMIT TO MAKING A RIGHT TURN WOULD THE STEERING WHEEL LOCK UP ON ME AND THE CAR SHUT DOWN. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM
I PURCHASED A VEHICLE END OF MAY 2014. VEHICLE HAS SINCE STARTED CUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING. I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS REFERRED TO ONE OF THERE DEALERS IN OAKVILLE CONNECTICUT. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR A WEEK AND WAS UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM. I TOOK IT HOME AND THE NEXT DAY THE CAR SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, I CALLED THE DEALER AGAIN AND WAS TOLD TO BRING IT BACK AND ITS BEEN THERE SINCE SEPTEMBER 2, 2014 AND THEY STILL HAVE NOT FOUND PROBLEM. ITS VERY FRUSTRATING THAT I HAVE PURCHASED A VEHICLE FOR SAFE DRIVING AND I FEAR FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND GETTING HURT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM, ENGINE, EXTERIOR LIGHTING
WE WERE DRIVING. I ASKED MY HUSBAND TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD. AS SOON AS HE PULLED THE WIPER STEM, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE CAR RESTARTED, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS WOULDN'T COME BACK ON. WE PULLED OVER AGAIN AND OPENED THE HOOD. THE CAR WOULD RESTART, BUT NOW THE DASH CLUSTER WAS OUT ALONG WITH THE HEADLIGHTS. WE TURNED THE ENGINE OFF AND WEIRDLY, THE HEADLIGHTS CAME ON. THEY WERE FLASHING ON AND OFF, OVER AND OVER. WITHIN THE NEXT TEN MINUTES THE CAR WOULD START BUT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. FROM THERE THE ARMREST CONTROLS STOPPED FUNCTIONING, AND EVENTUALLY THE CAR JUST CHATTERED WHEN THE KEY WAS TURNED. THEN IT WOULDN'T EVEN DO THAT. IT COMPLETELY DIED. FOUR WEEKS AND $1600 LATER, WE HAVE A NEW TIPM L. THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WAS FRIED. *TR

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

POWER TRAIN
WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR OUT OF MY GARAGE, I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF "PARK". I LATER LEARNED THAT A PART IN THE SHIFT LINKAGE ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN. IN FACT, THIS BROKEN PART, A LOCKOUT OVER-RIDE, HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER A RECALL OF ALL OTHER CHRYSLER AND DODGE PRODUCTS WHICH HAVE THIS PART INSTALLED. BUT FOR THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WHICH HAS THE IDENTICAL PART, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR AROUND, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE "PARK" POSITION OF THE SHIFT LEVER. IF I INADVERTENTLY PLACED THE SHIFT LEVER INTO "PARK", SAY AT A RAILROAD CROSSING, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR! THIS A DANGEROUS AND SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEM, AND I WANT NHTSA TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO RECALL MY CAR AND ALL OTHER PACIFICA'S WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND REPLACE THIS LOCKOUT OVERRIDE. *TR

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL, STEERING, POWER TRAIN
I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA-FROM THE BEGINNING A POPPING AND CLICKING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSIONS/RESULTS FROM DEALERSHIP MOTOR MOUNTS WENT BAD REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS MY CAR IS JUST GO DEAD WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAYS/STREETS ETC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR OR SEE THE ISSUE. I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING WRONG AND THIS IS SCARY DRIVING THIS CAR. *JS

STEERING, SERVICE BRAKES, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
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

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
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

ENGINE
WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IT WILL STALL. THIS OFTEN OCCURS AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 40MPH. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY DID NOT SEEM FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD VERY VELLUM RESULT IN A FATALITY SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING. THE CAR WILL LOOSE STEERING FUNCTION AFTER THE STALL AND I WILL NEED TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC TO RESTART THE CAR. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT RECALLED THIS OR ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS FAIRLY COMMON. *TR
