ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:STARTER ASSEMBLY:SOLENOID
YOUR CHOICE FOR THE TYPE OF CAR DID NOT LIST THE PACIFICA. I CHECKED LHS WHICH IS WWRONG. THE CAR THAT IS GIVING US A PROBLEM IS A CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2004. THREE MONTHS AGO THE PACIIFICA HAD A STALLING PROBLEM, IT WOULD STALL WHEN WE WOULD SLOW DOWN FOR A RED LIGHT . AFTER TWO TRIES IT WAS FIXED A WEEK AGO SO WHO KNOWS WHETHER IT HAS BEEN FIXED. A SOLENOID-LINEAR IACV WAS REPLACED. WE ALSO HAVE A STARTING PROBLEM. WHEN YOU TURN THE KEY ABSOLUTELY NOTHING HAPPENS, NO LIGHTS, THE ENGINE DOESN'T TURN OVER. IF YOU WAIT 15 MINUTES OR MORE THE CAR WILL START UP. THE INCIDENTS ARE INCREASING FROM ONCE A WEEK TO EVERY DAY. THE BATTERY HAS BEEN CHECKED AND IT IS OKAY. *AK

WHEELS:RIM
ALL 4 TIRES HAVE BEEN LOOSING AIR FOR ABOUT 2 MONTHS, I FIGURED I NEEDED NEW TIRES SO I TOOK THE CAR TO A MECHANIC AND I WAS TOLD THEY COULD NOT REPLACE THE TIRES BECAUSE ALL 4 WHEELS HAVE CORROSION AROUND THE VALVE STEMS, AND THIS WOULD JUST CONTINUE TO HAPPEN WITH NEW TIRES, MY 2 REAR TIRES DO NOT NEED TO BE REPLACE IT IS THE CORROSION WHICH IS CAUSING THEM TO LOOSE AIR. I WAS TOLD THEY HAVE BEEN HEARING AND SEEING A LOT OF THESE PROBLEMS WITH THE 2000 CHRYSLLER LHS WHEELS. *NM

STEERING
I TOWED MY 2000 CHRYSLER LHS ON A TWO-WHEEL TOW DOLLY BEHIND MY RV FROM PAPILLION, NE TO FORT BENNING, GA. SINCE THERE WERE NO PULL-THROUGH SITES AVAILABLE WHEN I ARRIVED AT THE CAMPGROUND AT FT. BENNING, I HAD TO REMOVE THE CAR FROM THE DOLLY SO I COULD BACK THE RV IN. ONCE OFF THE DOLLY, I FOUND THAT I COULDN'T DRIVE FORWARD. BOTH FRONT TIRES WERE FACING IN DIFFERENT DIRECTIONS. NEXT MORNING CAR WAS TRANSPORTED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER IN COLUMBUS, GA WHO REPAIRED THE STEERING. TURNS OUT THAT THE INNER TIE RODS SEPARATED FROM THE RACK-N-PINION ASSEMBLY. THE POWER STEERING RACK HAD BEEN REPLACED BY BAXTER CHRYSLER OF OMAHA, NE ON AUG 24, 2004. DEALER REP IN GA INDICATED THAT IF I HAD BEEN DRIVING WHEN THE PARTS SEPARATED, THE CAR WOULD HAVE ROLLED AND I AND MY WIFE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. FOR APPROXIMATELY 9 - 12 MONTHS PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT IN GA, I HAD COMPLAINED TO BAXTER OF NOISES IN THE STEERING WHEN MAKING SLOW SPEED TURNS AND STEERING WHEEL VIBRATION AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. BAXTER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IMPROPER REPAIRS BACK IN AUG 04 MAY HAVE CAUSED SEPARATION OF PARTS. *NM
