NHTSA Complaint #10274699 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING EDITION AWD WITH APPROXIMATELY 48,000 MILES. THIS PAST WEEK, MY VEHICLE STARTED STALLING AT STOPS. AFTER MY SPOUSE TOOK IT TO A CAR REPAIR FACILITY, THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES. SHE STATED SHE HAD 1/2 TANK OF FUEL SHOWING. I HAD TO RENT A TRAILER TO PICK THE VEHICLE UP AND DROP IT OFF AT THE DEALER. WHEN I STARTED THE VEHICLE THE FUEL GAUGE WENT FROM 1/2 TO EMPTY. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALER AND THEY PERFORMED THE REPAIRS FOR THE STALLING PROBLEM. WHEN I PICKED UP THE CAR, THE SERVICE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME THEY HAD TO PUT $10 DOLLARS OF FUEL IN IT CAUSE IT WAS SHOWING EMPTY AND THAT THE TANK LOW FUEL LIGHT WAS ON. ACCORDING TO THE TRIP INDICATION OF FUEL MILEAGE, IT SAID I HAD 18 MILES UNTIL EMPTY. I STARTED THE CAR AND THE FUEL GAUGE WENT TO 1/2 TANK! OKAY PROBLEM HERE!! I HAD THE TECHNICIAN PUT IT BACK ON DIAGNOSTIC AND SHOWED NO CODES AND FUEL QUANTITY WAS AT 18 MILES LEFT ACCORDING TO THE COMPUTER. I WENT STRAIGHT TO THE GAS STATION AND ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE TANK, IT ONLY TOOK 6.73 GALLONS AND WOULD NOT TAKE ANY MORE. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT WAS THE TANK SENDING UNITS (2EA) THAT WOULD HAVE TO BE REPLACED. LOOKING AT OTHER COMPLAINTS, WE ALL HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND YEAR. *TR
