2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AWD Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

CAR WILL TURN OFF UNEXPECTEDLY WITH NO ERROR CODE/CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD! IT DOES NOT HAPPEN ON A NORMAL BASIS BUT IT HAS HAPPENED ABOUT 10 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE IN MARCH 2014. *TR

WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE ROAD IN TOWN, GOING BETWEEN 40-50 MPH, MY CAR SHIMMIED. I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO A MECHANIC, AND HE FOUND THAT ALL 4 MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. THEY WERE REPLACED AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THEY WERE BROKEN AGAIN. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WAS CAUSING THE MOTOR MOUNTS TO BREAK. HE HAS REPLACED MY MOTOR MOUNTS A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. MY PACIFICA STILL SHIMMIES AND SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 40-50 MPH. WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS, IT WILL STOP, BUT SOMETIMES SHIMMIES WHEN I TOUCH THE GAS AGAIN. PASSED 50 MPH, THE CAR DOES NOT SHIMMY AND SHAKE. *TR

WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS THE CAR SIMPLY TURNED OFF (ENGINE STOPS JUST LIKE YOU TURNED THE KEY TO OFF). TOTAL LOSS OF POWER STEERING AND POWER BRAKING. COASTED TO SIDE OF ROAD, WHERE CAR WAS RESTARTED. THIS PROBLEM IS SIMILAR TO A PROBLEM IN MAY 2012 WHEN THE CAR WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS TURNED ITSELF OFF. STORED CODE AT THE TIME WAS C121C. DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE CAUSE IN MAY 2012. *TR

HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A CLUNK FROM THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL FOR A FEW WEEKS. HAD MIDAS LOOK AT IT LAST WEEK WHILE REPLACING FRONT BRAKES, BUT THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. THIS WEEK, WAS GETTING OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. MENTIONED THE NOISE AGAIN, AND THIS TIME WAS TOLD THE NOISE WAS DUE TO ENGINE MOUNT FAILURE OF THE LEFT AND RIGHT ENGINE MOUNTS. I IN TURN CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR WITH THE LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS WELL AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND WAS TOLD THAT NEITHER ONE OF THESE WOULD COVER THE REPLACEMENT. THEN, CHRYSLER PROCEEDED TO QUOTE ME A REPLACEMENT COST THAT WAS $300 OVER MY MIDAS QUOTE. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN, "DOESN'T THIS SEEM TO BE A PREMATURE FAILURE, SINCE I ONLY HAVE 67,000 MILES?" TO WHICH HE REPLIED, "YES IT DOES." HE ALSO SAID THE REASON THIS PART...

MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2007 AWD WITH A 4.0 ENGINE USES EXCESSIVE OIL. I DID NOT KNOW THIS. DUE TO THE CAR USING OIL-NO LEAKING, I NEARLY BLEW MY ENGINE. MY OIL LIGHT CAME ON TOO LATE WITH ONLY ABOUT 1 QT OF OIL REMAINING. SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR A YEAR OLD AND IT IS PAST 36000 MILES, I AM STUCK WITH REPAIRS DUE TO A FAULTY ENGINE. THE CAR IS AT THE MECHANIC WHO SAID IT HAS METAL IN THE OIL FROM THE ORDEAL AND MAY NEED THE WHOLE ENGINE REPLACED OR REBUILT. THIS MAY COST 1/2 WHAT THE CAR IS WORTH AND I STILL OWE PAYMENTS FOR 4 MORE YEARS. I HAVE CHECKED ONLINE FORUMS AND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE AWD MODELS, ESPECIALLY BUILT IN CANADA LIKE MINE. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THESE REPAIRS. THIS IS $40K VEHICLE. AT THE VERY LEAST...

ON APRIL 15TH 2008 AT APPROXIMATELY 8:45AM I WAS DRIVING OUR BRAND NEW CHRYSLER PACIFICA LIMITED ADDITION. I PULLED INTO THE PARKING OF 2155 SUITE B ELECTRIC RD, ROANOKE, VA 24018. AS I GOT OUT OF THE CAR WITH MY 2YR OLD DAUGHTER THE CAR CAUGHT ON FIRE UNDERNEATH THE HOOD. IT CAUSED $5,000 OF DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING AS WELL AS DAMAGED THE CAR COMPLETELY(WE HAVE MANY PICTURES). THE FIRE DEPARTMENT ARRIVED AT THE SCENE WITHIN TWO MINUTES AND WAS ABLE TO PREVENT FURTHER DAMAGE TO THE BUILDING. OUR INSURANCE PRECEDED WITH AN INVESTIGATION AND FOUND THAT THE FIRE STARTED AROUND THE STEERING FLUID OR THE ANTI-FREEZE. THEIR FINDINGS CONCLUDED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BURNED TO THE GROUND THAT IT WAS THE STEERING FLUID. CHRYSLER HAD THEIR OWN FORENSICS COME OUT AND ALL THEY DID WAS TAKE PICTURES AND REPORT BACK TO THEIR HEADQUARTERS. WITHIN A WEEK AND A...
