NHTSA Complaint #10159007 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 13000 MILES STALLED MAKING A LEFT TURN AT A VERY LOW SPEED. THERE WAS NO WARNING THE VEHICLE WAS ABOUT TO STALL. I WAS TURNING LEFT IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, DRIVING AROUND 10 MILES PER HOUR OR LESS, WHEN I LET OFF THE BRAKE TO MAKE A LEFT TURN, THE STEERING WHILE TIGHTENED UP AND MY DASH LIGHTS CAME ON (THE MIL MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT DID NOT COME ON). I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. ARRIVED AT MY DESTINATION FEW MINUTES LATER. AN HOUR LATER WHEN MY FAMILY AND I WERE LEAVING TO GO TO ANOTHER STORE, THE SAME SCENARIO; I WAS TURNING LEFT TO ENTER THE PARKING AREA WHEN THE STEERING WHILE TIGHTENED UP AND MY DASH LIGHTS CAME ON. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURNED OFF THE ENGINE, AND RESTARTED AND DID NOT STALL THE REMAINDER OF THE TRIP. IT WAS 90 DEGREES OUTSIDE AND SUNNY, AND I HAD MORE THAN 3/4 OF A TANK OF GAS. VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED 9/05. THIS IS THE SAME PROBLEM THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE REPORTED WITH 2004, 2005 AND 2006 MODEL YEAR PACIFICAS. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY SERIOUS ISSUE THAT CONCERNS US, OBVIOUSLY FOR SAFETY REASONS. PLEASE HELP. *JB
