NHTSA Complaint #10615581 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THROUGH A VERY DANGEROUS CURVE (S-CURVE), IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. AFTER SAFELY PULLING OVER (DIFFICULTLY) AND STOPPING I LET IT SIT WHILE CALLING MY HUSBAND. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP NO PROBLEM AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY STAY RUNNING FOR 5-7 MINUTES, THEN WHILE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY STAY RUNNING FOR 3-5 SECONDS AND NOW SOMETIMES WON'T EVEN START AT ALL. AFTER FINALLY TOWING TO A DEALERSHIP BELIEVING IT WAS THE SKIM MODULE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT IS THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE THAT IS BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FIND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE SAME VEHICLE AND YEAR FOR THESE SAME EXACT TYPE ISSUES, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD NOW BY 2 DEALERSHIPS AND THE DAIMLER CHRYSLER CORPORATION THAT MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE CHECKED BY THE VIN # IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL. *TR
