Consumer Description

ON JAN 16, 2012 CAR MISSFIRED ON AN INCLINE SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN 12 MILES, THEN STALLED UPON TURNING RIGHT. DURING THE RETURN TRIP, MISSFIRED SEVERAL TIMES IN AN INCLINE. STALLED BACKING OUT OF A DRIVE WAY. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE CAR TO MECHANIC AND THE LIGHT REGISTER THE CAM SHAFT. REPLACED IT. DURING ANOTHER INCIDENT TWO DAYS LATER ON JAN. 29, 2012. THE CAR AGAIN MISS FIRED ON AN INCLINE THEN PROMPTLY STALLED - NOT ON THE TURN - DURING THE INCLINE. HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES FOR THE CAR TO START AGAIN. THE MISS FIRING HAS BEEN OCCURING FOR AT LEAST TWO MONTHS INTERMITTANTLY. I GOT IT CHECKED WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CAN SHAFT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST STALL OCCURED ON JAN 16, 2012. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AFTER THE STALL TODAY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE, IT SEEMS THAT THIS IS NOT JUST MY CAR, BUT MANY PACIFICA'S HAVE THIS PROBLEM. I'LL BE NOTIFYING CHRYSLER DEALER TOMORROW. I'M AM VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE IN THIS CAR. *TT
