NHTSA Complaint #10436505 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

THIS LAST FRIDAY, THE 11/18/11, WAS THE LAST INCIDENT WHERE IT FINALLY STALLS COMPLETELY AND I HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC. FOR OVER A MONTH NOW, THE GAS GAUGE HAS DROPPED TO ZERO (WHEN I KNOW I HAVE GAS IN THERE) SO I HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THAT ON THE SIDE, THE ELECTRICAL TRIP MILEAGE GAUGE SAYS GAS CAP, CHECKED IT, KIND OF JITTERY, WHERE IT WOULD JERK AND NOT ACCELERATE ON THE ROAD, UNTIL THIS LAST FRIDAY WHEN I TURNED A CORNER, AND IT JUST STALLED. STARTED IT UP, AND WENT DOWN THE ROAD AND AS SOON AS I ACCELERATED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IT STALLED AGAIN, PULLED OFF THE ROAD TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND SAT FOR A MOMENT, GENTLEMAN STOPPED TO HELP ME, AND SAID IT MIGHT BE OVERHEATING, TO TURN MY HEATER ON AND LEAVE IT RUNNING SINCE I STILL HAD SEVERAL MILES TO GO TO GET HOME AND EVERYONE WAS GONE AT THE HOUSE. SO I TURNED IT BACK ON AND HEATED IT UP AND AWAY I WENT, GOT ABOUT A MILE AND IT STALLED AGAIN, SO I WENT ON THE SHOULDER AND COASTED FOR ABOUT ANOTHER MILE AND STARTED IT UP AND COASTED IT AGAIN, 'TIL I GOT TO OUR SMALL TOWN AND STARTED IT UP, WENT TO TAKE A CORNER, AND IT STALLED ON THE CORNER, SO I COASTED A BIT AGAIN, AND STARTED UP, AND WENT DOWN ABOUT A MILE, PUT INTO NEUTRAL (SO NOT TO USE GAS AND ACCELERATE) AROUND THE CORNER AND WENT DOWN ABOUT ANOTHER MILE, PUT INTO NEUTRAL AGAIN, TOOK THE CORNER, BACK INTO DRIVE AND DOWN THE ROAD TO THE HOUSE, TOOK ANOTHER TURN IN NEUTRAL, AND COASTED INTO THE DRIVE WAY. I'VE NOTICED THAT THERE IS A RECALL WITH 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR THE FUEL PUMP AND CONTROL MODULE WITH POWER TRAIN. ACCORDING TO WWW.MOTORTREND.COM RECALL ID#57629 POWERTRAIN:AT:CONTROL MODULE (TCM,PCM). IT IS SITTING AND WANT IT FIXED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE BEFORE ME DRIVING WITH THE KIDS IN THE CAR AND I CAN'T MAKE IT OUT IN AN INTERSECTION BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER AND THEIR PARTS/RECALL. OTHERWISE, I'LL LOOK INTO LEGAL ACTION. *TR
