ON DECEMBER 5, 2013 I STARTED UP MY CAR AND BEFORE I COULD PULL OFF MY GAS HANDLE STARTED GOING UP AND DOWN REALLY FAST, THE GAS PUMP SYMBOL WAS BLINKING ON AND OFF AND IT WAS CHIMING AS WELL. I HAD A HALF A TANK OF GAS. I SAT THERE AND COUNTED A TOTAL OF 3-4 TIMES OF THIS HANDLE GOING UP AND DOWN. IT ALSO DID IT ON DECEMBER 4, 2013 WHEN I STARTED UP CAR, I HAD WELL OVER A HALF A TANK OF GAS. I HAVE A ONE YEAR WARRANTY SO I GOOGLED THIS AND READ STORIES OF ALOT OF PEOPLE HAVING THIS ISSUE AND SAW A LINK TO THIS SITE TO FILE A COMPLAINT. I AM WONDERING IS IT THE SENDING UNIT, MODULE OR TANKS..WELL THAT IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING. I...

I HAVE RECENTLY MADE A COMPLAINT TO CHRYSLER ABOUT A 2004 PACIFICA THAT I BOUGHT ABOUT 4MOS AGO. I KNOW THAT MY CAR MAY BE OUT OF "DEALER WARRANTIES", BUT WHEN THERE ARE THINGS GOING ON WITH YOUR VEHICLE THAT'S UNDER RECALL, SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE ABOUT BEFORE SOMEONE IS INJURED OR EVEN KILLED. MY GAS PEDAL STICKS, MY CAR HAS STALLED OFF ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE TURNING IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION, AND MY FUEL SYSTEM WAS NOT HOLDING OR DISTRIBUTING FUEL PROPERLY AND MY MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKEN! I CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR MY CAR MONTHLY, AND PAY FOR REPAIRS THAT ARE ALMOST GOING ON WITH ALL 2004 PACIFICAS'. I PARK MY CAR ONLY TO USE ONE VEHICLE THAT 2 ADULTS AND A17 AND18YR HAVE TO TRAVEL WITH WHEN 3 OF THE 4 OF THESE PERSONS WORK. LIFE IS HARD AND ITS NOT FAIR THAT THE...

AT ANY GIVEN TIME WHEN PRESSING ON THE ACCELERATOR, THE ACCELERATOR LOCKS UP AND DOES NOT DEPRESS. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS IT RELEASES AND LURCHES FORWARD. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR AT LEAST 6 MONTHS NOW. IT HAPPENS ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES PER WEEK. NO REPAIRS DONE TO DATE. VEHICLE SHOULD BE RECALLED FOR THIS DEFECT. *TR

THE EVENTS LEASING UP TO THE DEFECT WERE ERRATIC GAS GAUGE READINGS, FROM 1/2 TANK TO EMPTY IMMEDIATELY, THEN SOMETIMES BACK TO HALF. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING.BEING TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT NEEDS PARTS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GAS GAUGE READINGS IE: THROTTLE BODY CLEANING, MAP SENSOR, FUEL FILLER TUBE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER THE PARTS THAT IM BEING TOLD ARE NEEDED ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER UPON READING ALL OF THE DISCUSSION BOARDS AND LOOKING AT FORMER RECALLS THE PARTS THAT ARE BEING RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ARE UNDER MY WARRANTY. *TR

IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE, A FIRE COULD HAVE RESULTED. HE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL REPAIR SHOP AND THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT BECAUSE THE COMPONENT WAS MANUFACTURED OUT OF INSUFFICIENT MATERIALS, IT EASILY FAILED. THE FUEL TANK WAS REPLACED. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 53,000.

WE HAVE A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA MANUFACTURED ON 10/31/03. IN NOVEMBER 2006 @ 49K MILES, WE BEGAN TO ENCOUNTER PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL LEVEL INDICATOR. EVEN THOUGH THE TANK WAS FULL IT WILL DROP TO EMPTY AND INDICATE LOW FUEL. IT THEN IT WILL BOUNCE BACK TO HALF FULL OR FULL. THEN DROP AGAIN TO LOW FUEL. IT MAY DO THIS 10 TIMES DURING A SHORT CROSS TOWN TRIP. WE TOOK IN BACK TO DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS A BAD FUEL CONTROL MODULE AND THAT CHRYSLER HAD JUST ISSUED A RECALL (F44) FOR THIS VERY REASON, BUT THAT MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE WHY IT WAS NOT COVERED, BUT THEY SAID SINCE MY VIN NUMBER WAS NOT INCLUDED THAT MY REPAIR WOULD NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE RECALL. I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A COMPLAINT THAT THE CHRYSLER RECALL...

I HAVE A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AWD, CURRENTLY HAS 50,000 MILES. WE HAVE HAD PROBLEMS SINCE WE DROVE IT OFF THE LOT. TIME AFTER TIME WE WERE TOLD THERE WERE NO CODES SIGNIFYING ANY PROBLEMS, AND THEY COULD NEVER DUPLICATE THE NOISES WE WERE EXPERIENCING. CLIMATE CONTROL SCREEN WENT OUT, THIS WAS REPLACED. MESSAGE DISPLAY WENT OUT, UNABLE TO SEE SAFETY WARNINGS, COMPASS, MENU DISPLAY STALLING WHEN TURNING AT SLOW SPEEDS POPPING AND CLUNKING NOISES WHEN TURNING SLOWLY LOAD CLANGING NOISE WHEN SHIFTING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, SOUNDS LIKE WE RAN OVER A LARGE METAL OBJECT.

I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS, THEY CAN NEVER DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM NOISES TO DIAGNOSE OR FIX. *NM

I HAVE TALKED TO THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE GAS MILEAGE THAT MY VEHICLE IS GETTING. IT IS SUPPOSED TO GET 17 IN TOWN AND 24 HIGHWAY. I AM ONLY GETTING 12.8 IN TOWN AND 13 ON THE HIGHWAY. THEY TELL ME TO WAIT UNTIL IT GETS TO 5,000 MILES AND IT WILL GET BETTER. WELL, I'M AT 4,660 AND IT IS STILL BAD!! DEFINITELY NOT THE MILEAGE POSTED ON THE DEALERSHIP PAPERS IN THE WINDOW OF MY CAR WHEN I PURCHASED IT 5 MONTHS AGE. THEY WOULDN'T EVEN WRITE IT UP FOR THE TECH'S TO LOOK AT WHILE IT WAS THERE FOR BATTERY PROBLEMS. I'M TAKING IT IN AGAIN. *JB
