NHTSA Complaint #10722805 — 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

PURCHASED THE PACIFICA TOURING AWD IN SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER, 2013. IT WAS IN FABULOUS CONDITION. A COUPLE OF MONTHS LATER, I EXPERIENCED MY FIRST OF EIGHT OCCURRENCES WHEREIN THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. ONCE THE ENGINE SHUT OFF, POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING DIDN'T FUNCTION PROPERLY, LIKELY BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS NO LONGER RUNNING. FIVE OF THESE EIGHT OCCURRENCES HAVE BEEN WITHIN ONE MILE OF MY RESIDENCE. ADDITIONALLY, IT OCCURRED ONCE IN A PARKING LOT, ONCE IN AN INTERSECTION, AND ONCE AS I WAS GETTING ONTO AN INTERSTATE HIGHWAY. A FEW OF THE OCCURRENCES ALMOST RESULTED IN ACCIDENTS. I WAS AT THE MERCY OF THE OTHER DRIVERS IN THOSE CASES. I HAVE SIX GRANDCHILDREN. I'M HESITANT TO TAKE THEM ON TRIPS BECAUSE I HAVE NO CONFIDENCE IN MY PACIFICA'S SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. MY VEHICLE SAFETY COMPLAINT SEEMS EERILY SIMILAR TO NUMEROUS OTHER OWNER'S 2007 PACIFICA SAFETY COMPLAINTS. I PRAY CHRYSLER WILL INVESTIGATE THIS ISSUE TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE ENGINE FAILURE BEFORE A PRECIOUS LIFE IS LOST. CHRYSLER, PLEASE IDENTIFY THE CAUSE AND NOTIFY THE OWNERS OF THE FIX SOONEST. IT MAKES NO SENSE TO CONTINUE NEGLECTING THESE SAFETY CLAIMS. I'M CERTAIN $$$ IS CAUSING YOUR HESITATION TO INVESTIGATE; HOWEVER, IT WILL SEEM LIKE PENNIES COMPARED WITH THE COST YOU WILL UNDOUBTEDLY PAY DUE TO NEGLIGENCE IN THE EVENT OF INJURY OR FATALITY. THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR HEARING MY CONCERN, DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM, IDENTIFYING THE SOLUTION, AND QUICKLY IMPLEMENTING YOUR PLAN TO REPAIR THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. SAFETY HAS A PRICE, BUT HUMAN LIFE IS PRICELESS.
