ENGINE
MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS WHILE TURNING LEFT AND ALWAYS UNDER THE SPEED OF 45 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS WHO HAVE FIXED DIFFERENT THINGS THEY FEEL IS CAUSING THE STALLING AND NOTHING IS WORKING. I HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVE IT THEY CANT DIAGNOSE IT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE CARS BEHIND ME HAVE NO WARNING THE CAR IS SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND THEY WOULD "HELP" ME FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. SO I DID AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND GAVE ME NEW SPARK PLUGS. CHRYSLER WAS GOING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND I FOUGHT THEM ON IT AND THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND I PAID LABOR AND THE CAR IS STILL STALLING. I HAVE READ ONLINE HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THEIR PACIFICA STALLING AND DOING THE SAME THING MINE IS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2005/2006 VEHICLES FOR THE SAME THING BUT NOT FOR THE 07 MODEL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER CAN IGNORE THIS PROBLEM WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. I AM IN FEAR OF MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR I CAN GUARANTEE I WILL GET HIT EVENTUALLY AND I WANT IT ON RECORD THAT I TRIED EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITH NO LUCK. *TR

FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE
2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I CAN ONLY PUT LESS THAN 2 GALLONS OF GASOLINE IN MAY CAR AT A TIME. GAS SPLASHES OUT WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN AS IF IT IS FULL. FUEL GAUGE NOT READING ACCURATE AS IT DROPS DOWN TO "E" AFTER IT REACHES 1/2 TANK. ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED TO REPLACE MY RIGHT SIDE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL GAUGE SENDER. AFTER REPLACING BOTH PARTS THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS UNABLE TO GET A DEFINITE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM, SO I PAID THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. *TR

STEERING, ENGINE
FIRST WEEK IN JUNE I SENT MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO ATHENS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN BOGART GA. THE STEERING WAS LOCKING UP ON MY WIFE. I FIGURED IT WAS MAYBE THE POWER STEERING. THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE AGAIN BROKEN AND THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT ONE FOR THE THIRD TIME. I READ IN SOCIAL CAR CHAT ROOMS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE FAILING IN JUST ABOUT ALL THESE TYPE CARS, AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE COSTS. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT NO ONE WILL BUY OR AT LEAST I WOULDN'T BECAUSE IT CAN'T HOLD ITS OWN ENGINE. I KNOW THIS IS A CONSUMER CONCERN JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE STEERING LOCKING UP WITH MY FAMILY ON BOARD. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAK UNLESS THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW THAT THEY ARE DUMPING ON US CONSUMERS. I MEAN IF THEY TOLD ME THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE GOING TO BE A MAINTENANCE ISSUE I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, AND NOW MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO TO FIND SOME KIND OF HELP WITH THIS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. WHERE ELSE CAN I COMPLAIN AND STEER OTHERS TO.

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRED POPPED AND THE CAR JERKED AND THAN FELT LIKE IT WAS DRAGGING ALONG AND KEPT MAKING A POPPING NOISE UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE GARAGE. TRANSFER CASE HAD BLOWN. TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER IT WENT AGAIN, THIS TIME I WAS GOING 55MPH AND NEARLY WENT OFF THE ROAD. TRANSFER CASE WAS AGAIN REPLACED. I ASKED THE GARAGE WHY THEY THOUGHT IT KEPT DOING THIS AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW..MY TIRES ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE. ICHANCES OF IT GOING AGAIN ARE VERY LIKELY. VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE, I'VE HAD THE CARBURETOR REPLACED, THE RIGHT BEARING REPLACED, THE TRANSFER CASE TWICE AND I'VE ONLY OWNED IT 3 YEARS. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER ANYTHING AGAIN. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER, A SMALL PLASTIC PART WITHIN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY OF CERTAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES OF THE CHRYSLER MARQUEE HAS A HOOK TO WHICH A SPRING IS ATTACHED. WHEN THE HOOK BREAKS, THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE MOVED BECAUSE THE SHIFTER LEVER WILL BECOME LOCKED IN THE "PARK" POSITION. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION, IN AN AGREEMENT WITH NHTSA (AS I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE) VOLUNTARILY RECALLED SEVERAL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS WHICH SHARED THIS PART, UNDER THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39". THOSE VEHICLES, CHRYSLER 300, DODGE MAGNUM AND CHARGER (2005-2007), PROBABLY MANY THOUSANDS, WERE ALL REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS. YOU MUST BE AWARE THAT THIS IDENTICAL PART, INTERCHANGEABLE WITH THE ABOVE-MENTIONED VEHICLES, IS INSTALLED IN CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES. BUT THE "VOLUNTARY" RECALL EXCLUDED ANY PACIFICA VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PACIFICA VEHICLES, INCLUDING MY OWN, FOR WHICH THIS PART HAS BROKEN. A SHORT INVESTIGATION ON THE WEB WILL DOCUMENT MY ASSERTION. THIS PROBLEM CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME, AND, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES COULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY-RELATED ISSUE. I CANNOT CURRENTLY PLACE MY VEHICLE INTO THE "PARK" POSITION FOR FEAR THAT I WILL BE REQUIRED TO TOW OR DISASSEMBLE THE CAR TO MOVE IT. THIS IS AN INTOLERABLE SITUATION, AND I DEMAND YOUR EFFORT TO ADD CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES TO THIS RECALL. *TR

AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES, WHILE A COMPUTER-RELATED RECALL REPAIR WAS BEING PERFORMED, I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT MOTOR MOUNTS WERE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM & TO KEEP A WATCH ON IT. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ODD COMMENT AT THE TIME, AS THE CAR WAS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD (AND, OF COURSE, OUT OF WARRANTY). FAST FORWARD TO APPROXIMATELY 70,000-75,000 MILES, AND WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE WHEN I AM SLOWING TO A STOP, AND THEN RE-ACCELERATE (FOR INSTANCE, THE LIGHT CHANGED GREEN RIGHT AS I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP, SO I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE & THEN ACCELERATE INSTEAD) - THE CAR WON'T MOVE RIGHT AWAY, AND THEN IT SUDDENLY "CLUNKS" INTO GEAR & LURCHES FORWARD. THE FORCE IS SO STRONG THAT I HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED SOMEONE ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING THE ISSUE - HAVE BEEN TOLD IT ISN'T COVERED AS MY CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I THOUGHT CHRYSLER WOULD CERTAINLY ISSUE A RECALL, DUE TO THE SHEER VOLUME OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE REGARDING THIS SAME ISSUE - BUT SO FAR THEY HAVE NOT. I FINALLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TO BE REPAIRED - I WAS TOLD FOUR MOUNTS ARE BAD! I DRIVE ALMOST ALL FREEWAY MILES IN SUBURBAN AREA - NO GRAVEL ROADS, ETC. - THIS SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING. I AM STILL HOPING FOR A RECALL AS THIS IS DANGEROUS AND I FEEL WHOEVER SUPPLIED THESE BAD PARTS SHOULD HAVE TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PREMATURE FAILURE. *TR

STEERING, ENGINE
JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM DODGE DEALERSHIP. ONE FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS A COUPLE AT LOW SPEED <15 AND A COUPLE AT HIGHER SPEED >40 THE VEHICLE STALLS OR TURNS OFF. YOU LOSE POWER STEERING (HARD TO CONTROL) AND BRAKING(HARD TO PRESS PEDAL). NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS TO SHOW FAILURE ANYWHERE. VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND MAY NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR WEEKS. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING THERE IS NO SURE FINDINGS TO THE CAUSE AND MAYBE A TSB OUT THERE BY NOW SHOWS THE PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE QUALITY OR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY SHOULD THE WIFE BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A RATE OF SPEED AND IT CUT OUT ON HER AND SHE PANIC OR BE IN RUSH TRAFFIC. IT NOT ONLY ENDANGERS HER BUT ANY VEHICLE AROUND HER. BEFORE I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY LOTS OF MONEY I DON'T HAVE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE AND WHY IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND NOT RESOLVED. IF YOU PUT IN GOOGLE 2007 PACIFICA AWD STALLING WHILE DRIVING YOU GET MORE THAN ENOUGH RESPONSES AND IT LED ME TO HERE EVEN. I WOULD WHOLE HEARTEDLY APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL INFORMATION AND ACTIONS I CAN DO TO GET THIS FIXED AND RESOLVED FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

MULTIPLE OCCURRENCES OF CAR BURNING OIL? UNSURE WHERE ITS GOING. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AT FIRST OCCURRENCE, NO INDICATOR OF ANY OIL ISSUES. TOOK TO MECHANIC AND STATED THE OIL STICK WAS COMPLETELY DRY. NO INDICATIONS OF ANY HOLES/LEAKS OR OTHER ISSUES. NEXT OCCURRENCE WITHOUT WARNING SERVICE LIGHT CAME ON AND INSPECTED IMMEDIATELY AFTER LIGHT CAME ON TO FIND AGAIN NO OIL REMAINING. SERVICE MECHANICS UNSURE OF WHERE THE OIL IS GOING AS THERE STILL APPEARS TO BE NO LEAKS OR SIGNS OF IT GOING ANYWHERE. ON AVERAGE NEED TO PUT IN OIL IN EVERY 100-200 MILES TO AVOID COMPLETE LOSS OF ALL OIL. THE FARTHER DOWN IT GETS, IT SEEMS TO DISAPPEAR MORE RAPIDLY. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON WHEN THE CAR IS COMPLETELY DRY OF OIL POSING POTENTIAL ENGINE LOCK UP ISSUES OR CRACKING OF ENGINE BLOCK WITHOUT NOTICE. THERE IS NO OIL LIGHT, THE LIGHT IMMEDIATELY GOES TO SERVICE ENGINE SOON LIGHT, AND AFTER NUMEROUS OCCURRENCES INDICATES A COMPLETELY DRY DIPSTICK. *TR

ENGINE, FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM, POWER TRAIN
WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. AROUND 60,000 MILES THE CAR DIED SEVERAL TIMES WHICH WAS FIXED. THEN 2/11/2013 THE CAR HAD A PROBLEM WITH I BELIEVE WAS THE FUEL LINE. CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE AND SMOKING LIKE CRAZY WHEN PRESSED GAS, SMELLED LIKE GAS.. WE GOT IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE AND THE FIXED IT - COST $1100. 3 WEEKS LATER WHILE GETTING ONTO A FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, I PRESSED THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, HEARD A BANG LIKE SOMETHING BLEW UP IN THE ENGINE, CAR WAS SMOKING IN THE EXHAUST AND THE IMMEDIATELY DIED. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE WE WERE LATER INFORMED A ROD HAD COME LOOSE AND PUT A GASH IN THE ENGINE AND OIL PAN. CALLED IT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND ONLY FIXED AT ENORMOUS COST. CAR DEAD AT 82,625 MILES. 5 YEARS OLD. IF THIS "ROD" WOULD HAVE BROKE LOOSE ANY OTHER TIME OR WHILE DRIVING FASTER IN MIDDLE LANE, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, SINCE IT WAS RUSH HOUR. I HAD 2 YOUNG KIDS WITH ME AT THE TIME. CHRYSLER IS PUTTING LIVES AT RISK WITH FAULTY PRODUCTS. PURCHASED BRAND NEW, MAINTAINED AND DID ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE THROUGH DEALER. HAD TO PURCHASE NEW CAR, NOT A CHRYSLER. *TR
