NHTSA Complaint #10183207 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2005 PACIFICA AWD. IN NOV 06, THE VEHICLE STALLED COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND BOTH TIMES, WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. DURING THE SAME TIME, WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE WARNOCK EAST HANOVER (NJ) DEALER (SAME PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) TO FIX IT. THEY FIXED THE STALLING RECALL ISSUE AND OTHER MINOR ISSUES AND SAID THAT IT'S DRIVABLE NOW AND ASSURED ME THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY, IT STALLED AGAIN AND NEARLY AVERTED AN ACCIDENT. IT'S REALLY SCARY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 6000 MILES ON IT AS IT HAS BEEN PRIMARILY USED TO DROP MY DAUGHTER IN SCHOOL. NOW, MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AS SHE IS SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. I DON'T BLAME HER AS IT HAS STALLED THREE TIMES SO FAR AND WE CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN WITH SUCH A HUMONGOUS SAFETY ISSUE! RIGHT NOW, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IS SITTING AT THE MERCY OF THE DEALERSHIP AS I TYPE THIS...*NM
