NHTSA Complaint #10165276 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLED FOR THE 4TH TIME SINCE LEASE PURCHASE (AUGUST 2006). I DROVE ~25 MILES TO WORK AND THE CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO MY WORK PARKING LOT. THE ONLY WARNING LIGHT THAT CAME ON WAS THE OIL LIGHT. AFTER A MINUTE OF SITTING, THE CAR WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE DEALERSHIP STATED NO FAULT REGISTERED ON THE CAR'S COMPUTER, AND TRIED TO RECREATE THE STALL BUT WERE UNABLE TO. NO REPAIR WAS MADE. ON 20 AUG 2006 THE SAME INCIDENT OCCURRED: CAR STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN INTO WORK PARKING LOT. SAME DEALERSHIP HAD LOOKED AT CAR AND MADE THE FOLLOWING REPAIRS: REPLACED IDLE AIR CONTROL AND REPROGRAMMED PCM. ON TWO PREVIOUS OCCASIONS (DON'T HAVE THE PAPERWORK, BUT WILL REQUEST RECEIPT COPY) THE CAR HAD STALLED AFTER DRIVING HOME FROM WORK AND PICKING UP CHILD FROM DAYCARE, WHEN MAKING AN ATTEMPT TO EXIT SUBDIVISION (A LEFT TURN, WHICH SHOULD HAVE BEEN FOLLOWED BY A RIGHT TURN, BUT THE CAR STALLED BEFORE THE RIGHT TURN). I TOOK THE CAR TO A DIFFERENT DEALERSHIP AT THE TIME, BUT THEY FOUND NO FAULT ON THE COMPUTER AND ONLY ATTEMPTED TO RECREATE THE STALL. UNABLE TO DO SO, NO REPAIR WAS MADE.
