NHTSA Complaint #10162856 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

1. THE VEHICLE STALLS AND/OR TURNS OFF WHEN MAKING A LEFT TURN. IT ALSO STALLS AND/OR TURNS OFF AT STOP LIGHTS WHEN THE GAS PEDAL IS PRESSED TO . THE FUEL TANK IS AT HALF FULL DURING ALL EVENTS AND ACTUALLY DROPS TO ZERO FOR MINUTE THEN RETURNS TO HALF FULL. 2. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT IN TRAFFIC, AT INTERSECTIONS, SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE VEHICLE QUIT. I AM ONLY ABLE TO FILL THE TANK HALF OF THE TIME OTHERWISE IT ONLY LET ME FILL TO 3/4 FULL. DUE TO THE MPG RATING THIS MEANS FREQUENT TRIPS TO THE GAS STATION. 3. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP 3 TIMES. THEY WERE "UNABLE TO REPRODUCE" THE PROBLEM THE FIRST TWO TIMES. THEY DETERMINED THAT IT WAS A FUEL MODULE PROBLEM AFTER THE THIRD TIME BECAUSE THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WITH THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN WAS THERE. A REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN ORDERED BUT HAS BEEN, OF COURSE, ON BACKORDER FOR 3 WEEKS. STILL NO FIX. CARS STOPPING IN TRAFFIC IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. PLEASE DO A QUICK SEARCH ON THE INTERNET AND YOU WILL FIND MANY INSTANCES OF THE PROBLEM. IT'S NOT ISOLATED AND SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED AS A RECALL. THANK YOU. *NM
