NHTSA Complaint #10445527 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP COMPLETELY WHEN BRAKING. I WOULD LET OFF BRAKES AND REAPPLY & IT STILL DID NOT STOP PROMPTLY. ABS LIGHT CAME ON & ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER REPAIR CENTER IN DELRAY BEACH FLORIDA. THEY SAID MY NVL PUMP & ABS SENSOR NEEDED REPLACED. THEY ALSO SAID IF I DO NOT REPLACE THE NVL PUMP MY CAR WILL BEGIN TO STALL. THE CAR BEGAN STALLING ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS LATER. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 4-6 TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN THE CAR WAS AT IDOL. I HAD THE PUMP REPLACED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC A FEW WEEKS LATER. THE CAR KEPT STALLING AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED. THEN THE CAR STARTED COMPLETELY LOCK UP & TURN OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I HAVE NO POWER, NO STEERING...NOTHING. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET! I TOOK IT BACK IN TO 3 DIFFERENT MECHANICS FOR AN INSPECTION & DIAGNOSTIC. ALL THREE MECHANICS SAY NOW I HAVE O2 SENSORS & MOUNTS THAT ARE BAD. THEY ALL SAY THAT EVERYTHING ELSE IS FINE.THEY ALL 3 SAY THE MOUNTS & O2 SENSORS DOESN'T EXPLAIN WHY THE CAR STALLS & LOCKS UP/TURNS OFF WHILE DRIVING. MY LAST MECHANIC RAN A RECALL SEARCH FOR MY CAR & FOUND A RECALL FOR MY MAKE & MODEL THAT COMPLETELY EXPLAINS MY PROBLEM. HOWEVER WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER BACK IN THE MIDDLE OF JANUARY THEY SAID MY VIN # DOES NOT QUALIFY?!?!? I CALLED CHRYSLER HOME OFFICE TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOME KIND OF ERROR AS TO WHY MY CAR IS NOT ELIGIBLE FOR THE RECALL & THEY HAVEN'T CALLED BACK. HOW CAN CHRYSLER NOT HONOR THIS DEFECT IN MY CAR WHEN IT HONORS IT IN OTHERS. IT IS DANGEROUS. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE AROUND. I NEED MY CAR TO BE SAFE. I HAVE RESEARCHED THAT MANY OTHER PEOPLE WITH MY CAR HAVE THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. CHRYSLER OBVIOUSLY IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT WILL NOT DEAL WITH IT. THIS SHOULD BE ILLEGAL! PLEASE CAN SOMEONE HELP ME? *TR
