2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Electrical System Problems

My engine in my car just shut down in the middle of driving. I was told it was a recall and was fixed yrs ago but it has happened 3 times since. Twice after getting gas and one time driving in the school parking lot. Lost all control of power steering and time of engine trouble. Car started back up and engine light came on and went back of and back on. Also smelt burning wires but couldn’t find anything

the drivers seat adjusted ITSELF all the way in the reclining position and will not move back. It is a safety hazard ..difficult to drive....we have not had it looked at yet...we just purchased the car a few weeks ago from a car dealer.

MY VEHICLES SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON FOR A FEW MONTHS. I GOT THE VEHICLE SERVICED TWICE AND EACH TIME THE LIGHT WOULD NOT GO OFF. A NIGHT OR TWO AGO I WAS TRYING TO BACK MY VEHICLE AND IT WOULDN'T BACK I WAS ON A LEVELED SURFACE IN MY AUNT'S FRONT YARD. INSTEAD WHEN I WOULD PUT IT IN REVERSE IT WOULD CUT OFF EACH TIME. SO THANKFULLY I HAD ENOUGH ROOM IN FRONT OF ME TO PULL FORWARD. I THOUGHT THIS WAS THE ONLY PROBLEM BUT AS OF THIS MORNING I WAS DRIVING AND MY CAR CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD I WAS DRIVING ON LEVEL CONCRETE TURNING TO MAKE A LEFT TURN. I THANK GOD THAT THERE WASN'T A CARECOMING UP BEHIND ME. SO NOW I'M DEALING WITH A CAR THAT CAN'T BACK OR DRIVE WITHOUT CUTTING OFF.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WITHIN LESS THAN 30 DAYS OF THE CONTACT OWNING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE JERKED AND THE TRANSMISSION SLOWLY SHIFTED IN AND OUT OF GEAR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SENSORS COULD BE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM AND THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ALSO TAKEN TO BERGSTROM USED CAR SUPER CENTER OF APPLETON (2925 N VICTORY LN, APPLETON, WI 54913, (920) 749-3232) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FRAME HAD EXTENSIVE RUST, HOLES, AND CORROSION THAT COULD AFFECT THE MOTOR, RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY WHILE THE SPEEDOMETER REVVED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AN UNKNOWN CODE WAS DISPLAYED ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE LOCAL DEALER WAS NOT CONTACTED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 113,000.

BODY CONTROL MODULE FAILURE, LOST HEADLIGHTS , WIPERS, COULD NOT CLOSE WINDOWS, AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON. IF DRIVING AT NIGHT WHEN MODULE FAILS YOU LOSE ALL HEADLIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHTS. WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME OF FAILURE.

THE CAR UNDER IT IS KNOCKING AND HITTING AGAINST THE CAR ITSELF WHEN YOU GO OVER A BUMP IN THE ROAD, THE BREAKS SLIP UNLESS THE ABS LIGHT IS ON AND THE POWER STEERING COMPARTMENT IS CONSTANTLY EMPTY WHICH CAUSES THE STEERING TO WHINE UNTIL YOU FILL IT BACK UP.

I BOUGHT THIS CAR IN 2011 ALL I HAVE HAD WITH THIS CAR IS PROBLEMS AFTER PROBLEMS. FIRST I WAS DRIVING AND THE CAR STOPPED RUNNING IT WAS SOMETHING ELECTRICAL THEN NOW MY SUB FRAME IS NO GOOD IT IS ROTTED OUT RUST ALL OVER THE SUB FRAME AND I HAVE TWO LITTLE GIRLS IN MY CAR ALL THE TIME AND TO TOP IT OFF I'M STILL PAYING ON THIS CAR TO THE BANK WHAT DO I DO NOT. I NEED SOMEONES HELP THIS IS TO MUCH MONEY FOR ONE PERSON TO PAY WHEN THIS WAS NOT MY DOING IT WAS THE CAR MAKERS DOING.

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA I PURCHASED FROM ORIGINAL OWNER WITH ONLY 63000 MILES. CAR WHILE DRIVING, CAR JUST ACCELERATES TO HIGH SPEED ON ITS OWN FOR NO REASON. HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID DEATH OR INJURY. TODAY WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON & WE ENDED UP STRANDED DUE TO WEIRD ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHERE WE CAN'T EVEN GET CAR OUT OF PARK. PASSENGER HEADLAMP HAS GONE OUT SEVERAL TIMES, NOW DRIVE FOG LAMP OUT. THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THIS CAR. IT'S TRULY HORRIFYING HOW POORLY ENGINEERED AND DANGEROUS THESE CARS ARE & I'M FORCED TO DRIVE THIS WAGON WITH MY FAMILY AS WE CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. WOULD LIKE TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC WITH THEIR DANGEROUS CARS. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO DIE BEFORE ALL THESE PACIFICA'S ARE RECALLED AND REPURCHASED...

GAS GAUGE FLUCTUATES TO EMPTY WITH LIGHT AND CHIME ANNOUNCING NO GAS, BUT THERE IS A THREE QUARTER TANK FULL OF GAS. THE ENGINE TURNS OFF AND STEERING LOCKS WITHOUT POWER. USED CAR PURCHASED YESTERDAY AND WE WERE STRANDED UNTIL WE FILLED THE TANK WITH THREE GALLONS THE CAR WAS IN MOTION THE FIRST TIME IT STALLED. THE SECOND TIME IT WAS IDLING AT A STOP LIGHT. THE THIRD TIME WAS IN A PARKING LOT. I TURNED THE ENGINE OFF THAN BACK ON IT RESUMED . WE WERE HEADING IN A STRAIGHT DIRECTIONS.

WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR I CAN HEAR MY ENGINE HITTING THE WALLS OF MY CAR. IT IS LOOSE AND ALSO THE BREAKS ABS LIGHT IS ON THROUGHOUT MY DRIVE. IF IT IS NOT ON THAN THE BREAKS SLIDE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROGRESSING FAILURE WITH THE VEHICLE IDLING HIGH AND MAKING AN ABNORMAL NOISE. IN ADDITION, THE RPMS RACED ABNORMALLY WITHOUT WARNING WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT ANY RATE OF SPEED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHO KEPT THE VEHICLE LONGER THAN TWO WEEKS. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO PROVIDE A SPECIFIC DIAGNOSIS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT IT MAY BE THE COMPUTER, A SENSOR(S), OR THE PCM. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 135,000.

MY VEHICLE BEGAN STALLING WHILE BEING DRIVEN ON THE STREET AND HIGHWAYS, WHEN TURNING AND WHILE STOPPED FOR LIGHT CHANGES. HAD TO HAVE BATTERY "JUMPED" OR CHARGED SEVERAL TIMES. BATTERY HAD TO BE REPLACED TWICE BECAUSE OF DISCHARGED FROM ALTERNATOR. HAD ALTERNATOR REPLACED. BATTERY CONTINUED TO DRAINED. VEHICLE RAN FOR ONE DAY AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN WHILE IN MOTION. AFTER JUMP STARTING THE BATTERY, VEHICLE RAN FOR A COUPLE OF MINUTES. WAS TOLD BY SERVICE MECHANICS, BATTERY OR ALTERNATOR PROBLEMS EVEN AFTER HAVING THOSE PARTS REPLACED. FINALLY HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP THAT SPECIALIZED IN CHRYSLERS AND WAS SHOCK WHEN HE STATED IT WAS THE PCM (POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE) WHICH I BELIEVED AND RESEARCHED WAS PART A RECALL FOR 2005 PACIFICAS IN 2006. TOLD BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THE FUEL PUMP WAS FIXED WHICH IS NOT THE PROBLEM OF THIS VEHICLE. THE PCM IS THE PROBLEM, AND THE DEALERSHIP...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH AND ATTEMPTING TO TURN RIGHT, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND THE STEERING WHILE SEIZED. THE FAILURE RECURRED NUMEROUS TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 162,940.

THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT ON MOVING MY SEATS FAILED YEARS AGO. I'VE HAD ELECTRICAL LIGHTS/ GLITCHES IN THE DASH SHOWING PROBLEMS WITH THE AIRBAG. THIS PAST WEEKEND, I TOOK MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR REPAIRS TO THE ALTERNATOR AND WAS INFORMED THE CRADLE/FRAME SUSPENSION ON MY VEHICLE IS RUSTED THROUGH. THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THIS FRAMING SHOULD NOT RUST THROUGH IF IT WAS COATED PROPERLY AND IF IT CONTINUES TO RUST THROUGH, THE ENGINE BLOCK WILL DROP OUT. I WAS QUOTED OVER $2,000 TO PURCHASE A USED PART AND TO COMPLETE THE REPAIRS.

I OWN A 2005 PACIFICA LIMITED, I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2009 FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR FOR SERVICING (OIL CHANGE, REPAIRS, ECT). NOT ONCE WAS I INFORMED (DURING THE PURCHASE OR ANY TIME DURING SERVICING THE PACIFICA) ABOUT THE ROTTING SUBFRAME. I HAVE ALL OF MY RECORDS SHOWING THE INSPECTION UNDERNEATH WITH NO MENTION OF THE ROTTING/RUSTED SUBFRAME. THIS CAR BELONGS TO MY WIFE AND SHE DRIVES OUR TWO KIDS IN THIS CAR (NOT ANYMORE). AFTER REVIEWING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I AM VERY UPSET AND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION. I HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND THE WHOLE TIME IT COULD HAVE BEEN FROM THE ROTTING/RUSTED SUBFRAME (THAT WAS NEVER MENTIONED). I HAVE PUT SOOOO MUCH MONEY INTO THE REPAIRS OF THIS CAR AND I FEEL LIKE MOST COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED,...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL SUDDENLY MALFUNCTIONED AND BECAME STUCK CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO EXPERIENCE UNINTENDED ACCELERATION. IN ADDITION, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED THE SPEED AS 70 MPH. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 103,000.

PURCHASED THE CAR AUG, 2014. PREVIOUS OWNER ALSO HAD SAME ISSUES. HAS BEEN IN SHOP SEVERAL TIMES, UNABLE TO PINPOINT CAUSE/REMEDY SITUATION. SEAT CONTROLS DO NOT WORK, REMOTE KEYFOBS DO NOT WORK, INTERIOR LIGHTS, HEAD LAMPS, NO ELECTRICAL FUNCTION PRESENT UNLESS KEY IS IN IGNITION, IN THE "ON" POSITION. WHEN SHUTTING OFF THE CAR, ALL LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHT UP AND THE ONLY WAY TO SHUT THEM OFF IS TO PUSH ON AND THEN OFF THE HAZARD LIGHTS. THIS WILL CAUSE ALL ELECTRICAL TO GO OUT, INCLUDING THE HEAD LAMPS AND ALL INTERIOR LIGHTS. IF YOU DO NOT TURN THEM OFF BY USING THE HAZARD LIGHTS, IT WILL KILL THE BATTERY. WE HAVE REPLACED THE FUSES IN FOR THE SEATS SEVERAL TIMES. THEY WORK FOR A BIT AND THEN BLOW OUT AGAIN. THE MECHANICS HAVE GONE AS FAR AS TO REPLACE THE WIRING ASSEMBLY AND STILL NO REMEDY. I...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INOPERABLE. THE RADIO REMAINED ACTIVE, BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT START. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AUTO ZONE WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE SWITCH MALFUNCTIONED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 193,600.

WHILE DRIVING HOME, LATE EVENING, I REACHED TO TURN ON WINDSHIELD WASHER AND WHEN I DID THAT, THE HEADLIGHTS WENT OUT, RADIO AND A/C WENT DEAD, TAILLIGHTS WENT OUT. THE ONLY ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS STILL WORKING WERE DASHLIGHTS, DOORLOCKS, TURN SIGNALS, AND SECURITY SYSTEM. ENGINE AND POWER STEERING STILL WORKED. FORTUNATELY, THERE WAS NOT MUCH TRAFFIC, OR IT COULD HAVE BEEN A DANGEROUS SITUATION. I MANAGED TO PULL INTO A PARKING LOT AND PARKED TO ASSESS THINGS, BUT FOUND I COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK BECAUSE OF INTERLOCK. CAR WAS TOWED TO MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE FAILURE - REPLACED THE BOX, BUT IT STILL HAS THE SAME SYMPTOMS. SO FAR, 12 DAYS IN THE SHOP, WITH NO SOLUTION IN SIGHT. I THINK SUCH A GENERAL SYSTEM FAILURE DOES PRESENT A SAFETY ISSUE. *TR

THERE WAS A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER MADE FOR 2004-2005 PACIFICAS DEALING WITH THE ENGINE CRADLE. THEY ERODED AND RUSTED THROUGH. THOUSANDS UPON THOUSAND OF CARS WERE RECALLED. THEY THAN REVOKED IT FOR A 2 MONTH RECALL SPAN. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN DEADLY AND FATAL AND HAS AFFECTED THOUSANDS OF FAMILIES. CHRYSLER REFUSES TO FIX THE WARRANTY THAT WAS ORGANICALLY WROTE AND SENT OUT. THEY REFUSE TO FIX OR ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE PROBLEM EXIST AND IS DEADLY FOR THESE PEOPLE WHO DRIVE THE PACIFICA AS THEIR " FAMILY TRANSPORTATION". IN THE PAST MONTH MY 2005 PACIFICA HAS STALLED OUT, DIED, HAD ALL ROADERS, BREAKS AND CONTROL ARMS REPLACED. ALL NEW TIRES AND NOW I FIND OUT MY ENGINE CRADLE HAS RUSTED OUT TO WHERE'S ITS NOT DRIVABLE. NOW THE RADIO STOPPED WORKING, THE AIR WONT TURN ON IF BLINKERS ARE ALL, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL BODY HAS CRAPPED OUT AND CHRYSLER REFUSES...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THE GAUGES ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL FAILED TO OPERATE INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE.

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO ENGINE AND HEADLIGHT PROBLEMS. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE VEHICLE STALLED TWICE, WITHIN THE LAST 3 YEARS. BOTH TIMES, HE WAS MAKING A HARD TURN, WHEN THE ENGINE STOPPED. HE WA ABLE TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE AND RE-STARTED IT, WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A MECHANIC, WHO FOUND NOTHING WRONG, OTHER THAN THROTTLE BODY BUILD-UP, WHICH HE CLEANED. ALSO, THE HEADLIGHT WOULD INTERMITTENTLY GO OUT. THE BULB DID NOT SEEM TO FIT SECURELY IN THE HARNESS, WHICH CAUSED A SHORT AND EVENTUALLY THE BULB BLEW OUT. THE PROBLEM SEEMED TO BE MORE PROMINENT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. THE DRIVER'S SIDE BULB WAS LESS THAN AN IDEAL FIT, BUT THERE WERE NO PROBLEMS WITH IT GOING OUT. THE BULB WAS REPLACED NUMEROUS TIMES, ALONG WITH THE WIRING HARNESS. *JB

I WAS DRIVING ALONG RETURNING FROM THE MARKET AND I WAS APPROACHING A REDLIGHT. I APPLIED THE BRAKES AND ALL THE LIGHTS BEGIN TO FLICKER AND THE CAR STALLED. I STARTED THE CAR BACK UP AND THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS OR CLUSTER INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS BLACK. THE HEADLIGHTS STILL WORK, BUT NO BRAKE LIGHTS. BEFORE THAT MY DRIVER SEAT POWER WENT OUT AND MY HEADLIGHT BULBS KEEP BLOWING. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO. IM A SINGLE MOM, FULL TIME WORKER, FULL TIME STUDENT ON A VERY TIGHT BUDGET, IM TOO SCARED TO CHECK IF MY ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED. I DON'T NEED ANYMORE BAD NEWS ABOUT THIS CAR. I CHANGED THE FUSE FOR THE CLUSTER PANEL AND IT WORKS FINE FOR AWHILE (*COUPLE OF HOURS) AND THEN ITS BACK TO BLACK WHEN I APPLY THE BRAKES. WHAT IS GOING ON? CHRYSLER NEEDS TO SETUP AND FIX OUR CARS BECAUSE THEY...

OUR REGULAR MECHANIC HAS DETERMINED THAT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY CAR IS RUSTED AND ROTTED TO THE POINT WHERE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE . CAR WAS BROUGHT IN DUE TO ELECTRICAL FAILURE AS MENTIONED ABOVE . I HAVE NEVER RECEIVED RECALL NOTICES . I SPOKE WITH A CHRYSLER REP TODAY AND THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO BECAUSE ITS NOT WITH IN THE RECALL TIME FRAME . *TR

WHEN I START MY CAR FROM A PARKED POSITION, I PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE AND IT STALLS OUT . IT THROWS THE CAR IN NEUTRAL . I ALSO ENDED UP IN A DITCH . I HAD TO LEAVE THE CAR AT MY JOB. UNABLE TO DRIVE IT HOME FROM WORK. MY MECHANIC WILL COME AND TOW MY CAR TO HIS SHOP. *TR

SINCE I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE THE FRONT LOW BEAM LIGHTS HAVE WENT OUT NUMEROUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. I HAVE HAD THEM REPLACED ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS AND THE PROBLEM PERSISTS. RECENTLY I HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY BATTERY AND WAS TOLD BY PEPBOYS AUTO SHOP THAT SOMETHING IS DRAINING THE BATTERY AND ITS POSSIBILITY IS THE EXTERIOR LIGHTING/HEADLAMPS. EVEN THOUGH I CONTINUE TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMPS THEY KEEP GOING OUT AND MY BATTERY IS BEING DRAINED. AFTER 2 BATTERIES IN 3 YEARS I HAD THE ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND IT WAS IN GOOD CONDITION. I WAS TOLD TO LOOK UP A RECALL LIST WHERE I FOUND EXTERIOR LIGHTING 05V066000 AND I CALLED. I ALSO HAVE HAD A FUEL PUMP PROBLEM THAT SEEMS TO EXIST AND NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WAY. AFTER GETTING IT FIXED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TWICE MY VEHICLE WILL NOT PASS SMOG BECAUSE OF ANOTHER LEAK....

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE IT WAS ADVISED TO THE CONTACT THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT AND COMPUTER SYSTEM NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE PROBLEM PERSISTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000. *TR

A WEEK AGO I SMELLED AN AWFUL BURNING SMELL COMING FROM MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I TOOK IT TO THE MECHANIC FOR INVESTIGATION AND REPAIRS NEEDED. THE CAR NEEDED AN ALTERNATOR, WATER PUMP AND SERPENTINE BELT. WHILE THEY WERE FIXING THIS PROBLEM I TOLD THEM TO INVESTIGATE THE RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONTEND. THEY FOUND THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTING AWAY. THE GARAGE SUGGESTED THAT I CONTACT CHRYSLER AS THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PACIFICAS BUT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I DID MY RESEARCH AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE EXTENDED WARRANTIES BEING OFFERED FOR THIS ISSUE. I CALLED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY AND THEY TOLD ME BECAUSE I WAS THE SECOND OWNER OF THE VEHICLE AND THEY DIDN'T KNOW HOW THE VEHICLE WAS TREATED AND BECAUSE OF THE MILEAGE, THEY WOULD NOT ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY. KEEP IN MIND I AM A STUDENT AND NOW HAVE A...

MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR! I WILL START WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT DIDN'T ALMOST KILL MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. THE ABS LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND THE DEALER HAD NO RESOLUTION. THE CAR WOULD STALL WHILE TURNING. I REPLACED THE BATTERY FIVE TIMES IN FOUR YEARS. WHILE IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE DRIVERS SEAT RECLINED BY ITSELF, WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTROLS AND STARTED SMOKING! THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM! LASTLY, WHILE DRIVING MY SONS TO SCHOOL, THE CAR WAS HANDLING POORLY AND BECAUSE IT WAS DARK AND RAINING, INITIALLY I BELIEVED THAT IT WAS WET ROAD CONDITIONS. TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR, I WAS TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE AND MY SPEED WAS APPROX. 30 MPH. UPON APPROACHING THE TOP OF A SMALL HILL, THE STEERING BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY, AT THIS TIME I BELIEVED THAT THE CAR HAD A FLAT TIRE AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE PARKED, THE VEHICLE COULD NOT BE REMOVED FROM PARK. EVENTUALLY THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO REMOVE THE GEAR FROM PARK. IN ADDITION, THE POWER WINDOWS, HVAC UNIT, WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND THE HEADLIGHTS WERE NOT FUNCTIONING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

I CURRENTLY HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING FWD THAT WAS PURCHASED IN 2007. SINCE THE TIME OF PURCHASE I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE MY DRIVER'S SIDE HEADLIGHT BULB 3 TIMES. I HAVE PLACED A CALL TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE CAR FROM AND ALSO CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER SERVICE. THEY TELL ME THAT MY VIN NUMBER DOES NOT APPEAR ON ANY RECALLS THAT THEY HAVE. I HOWEVER, DO NOT UNDERSTAND AND HAVE NEVER HAD A VEHICLE THAT HAS NEEDED A HEADLIGHT REPLACED THOSE MANY TIMES IN ONE YEAR. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, AND ALL OF A SUDDEN THE CAR TURNS OF. I HAD MY NIECE IN THE CAR. THE STEERING WHEEL WOULDN'T MOVE. I COULD'VE CRASHED AND CAUSED A MAJOR FATAL ACCIDENT. SHORTLY AFTER THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE ENGINE. LUCKILY I HAD WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP COULDN'T FIGURE OUT WHY THE CAR WOULD TURN OFF. THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 3 TIMES. AND STILL DOES. NOW IM HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE MOTOR. I'VE DOESN'T OVER 8000 DOLLARS FIXING THIS CAR OUT OF MY POCKET. THE CAR IS ALMOST PAID OFF. I NEED HELP. I FEEL LIKE CHRYSLER HAS STOLEN MONEY FROM ME SINCE I PURCHASED THIS CAR. NOT FAIR. NOT RIGHT. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. A SIMILAR COMPLAINT WAS FILED UNDER ODI ID 10362111. JUST AS IN OTHER COMPLAINTS, THERE WILL BE PERIODIC FLICKERING OF THE ELECTRICAL COMPONENTS (LIGHTS, RADIO, AC). MY ABS LIGHT AND BRAKE LIGHTS AND ALARM COME ON. THE ELECTRICAL ARCHING CAN BE HEARD THROUGH THE SPEAKERS A SERIES OF POPS. ON SOME OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE WILL NOT START RIGHT BACK UP ONCE IT HAS BEEN STOPPED. I ORIGINALLY NOTICED THE PROBLEM ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO BUT DISMISSED IT AS A SYMPTOM OF SOME OTHER ISSUE. IT WASN'T UNTIL THE PROBLEM PERSISTED THAT I REALIZED IT WAS UNRELATED TO THE OTHER PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACTS OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ABS INDICATOR WOULD ILLUMINATE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL INTERMITTENTLY AND THE VEHICLE WOULD HESITATE TO STOP WHEN THE BRAKES WERE APPLIED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THAT THE ANTI LOCK BRAKE MODULE CAUSED THE FAILURE TO OCCUR. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE DEALER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT CONTACTED REGARDING THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 55,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE CONSUMER STATED THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE BRAKES WENT DOWN TO THE FLOOR WHEN APPLIED. THE CONSUMER STATED THE BRAKE MUST BE PUMPED PRIOR TO STOPPING. THE BRAKES WOULD SOMETIMES CATCH WHEN APPLIED AND LOCK UP. THE BRAKE PADS AND SENSORS WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL UPON ACCELERATION AND THERE WAS A SLIGHT KICK COMING FROM THE FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE....

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. . THE ORIGINAL COMPLAINT CAN BE FOUND UNDER ODI ID NUMBER 10362111. THAT COMPLAINT DESCRIBED THE PERIODIC FLICKERING OF ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT THAT WAS ON (LIGHTS, RADIO, HVAC) AND THE INTERMITTENT ABS AND BRAKE ALARMS THAT MAY FOLLOW. . ON ONE OCCASION SINCE FILING THAT COMPLAINT, ALL OF THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT TURNED OFF. WHILE DRIVING IN THE DARK, THE FLICKERING OF THE LIGHTS STARTED RESULTING IN THE ALARMS ALREADY MENTIONED. THEN ALL EQUIPMENT TURNED OFF - HEADLIGHTS, DASH LIGHTS,CLOCK, RADIO, AND THE HEATING SYSTEM. I WAS ABLE TO STOP THE VEHICLE, PLACE IT IN PARK, AND IT RESTARTED. ALL OF THE SYSTEMS THEN WORKED SATISFACTORILY FOR THE REMAINDER OF THE 30-MINUTE TRIP. . ON OCCASION, WHEN THE ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT STARTS TO FLICKER, YOU CAN HEAR WHAT SOUNDS TO BE ELECTRICAL ARCHING. IT IS DIFFICULT TO HEAR WHERE THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE IS. TO THE PASSENGER IT...

2005 PACIFICA STALLS WHEN SLOWING DOWN OR MAKING SLOW TURNS. *TR

INTERMITTENT BRAKE AND ABS WARNING LIGHTS AND THE ALARM CHIME. THE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND OFF VERY QUICKLY, SOMETIMES TOO QUICK TO NOTICE. THE ALARMS ARE ALWAYS PRECEDED BY THE FLICKERING OF ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT THAT MAY BE ON AT THE TIME. IF THE HEADLIGHTS ARE ON, THEY WILL FLICKER AS IF GOING OFF. IF THE RADIO IS ON, THE SOUND WILL GO OFF UNTIL VOLTAGE IS RESTORED. HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER SEVERAL TIMES. THEY ARE UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. NO CODES ARE DISPLAYED FOR THEIR COMPUTER. THEY REPLACED THE BATTERY BUT THAT DID NOT HELP. THE ACTUAL BRAKES SEEM TO BE UNAFFECTED. HOWEVER, WITH THE FLUCTUATION OF VOLTAGE AND THE DIMMING OF HEADLIGHTS WHEN THIS HAPPENS, IT FEELS AS IF THE CAR MAY TURN OFF. EVENT HAPPENS ANY TIME - DAY OR NIGHT. SOMETIMES THE CAR CAN BE DRIVEN AND THIS DOES NOT...

I PURCHASED MY CAR IN 2008 AND THE DEALER (SHEEHY FORD) WON'T EVEN TAKE IT BACK. THE ENGINE LIGHT STAYS ON AND IT WON'T PASS INSPECTION. I HAD TO REPLACE THE OBD CONNECTOR AND IT STILL WOULDN'T PASS INSPECTION. TOOK IT BACK TO THE INSPECTION STATION AND IT FAILED BECAUSE OF THE OXYGEN SENSOR, REPLACED THAT AND TOOK IT BACK FOR THE 3RD TIME AND IT FAILED AGAIN BECAUSE THE MACHINE READ: MONITORS NOT READY. I'M STARTING TO THINK THAT THE POWER TRAIN AND THE ENGINE ARE FAULTY ON MY VEHICLE. SHEEHY KNEW THEY SOLD ME A LEMON, I'VE TRIED TO HAVE THEM RESOLVE THIS ISSUE NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOTHING. I WANT THEM TO EITHER FIX THE PROBLEM OR GIVE ME ANOTHER CAR. I REPORTED THEM TO THE BBB AS WELL AND THEY NEVER RESPONDED TO BBB ON MY COMPLAINT. THAT LOOKS SO SUSPECT IN MY EYES. *TR

I HAVE HAD SO MANY THINGS GO WRONG WITH MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2005. SUV. ON FRIDAY APRIL 16 2010 THE CAR STALL COMING OFF THE EXIT RAMP OF ROUTE 80 IN PATERSON ,DURING RUSH HOUR. ON MONDAY APRIL IT WAS DEAD AND REQUIRED THE BATTERY TO BE CHARGE. THE BATTERY HAD BEEN CHARGE ON SUNDAY APRIL18. THE CAR HAD TO EVENTUALLY BE TOWED TUESDAY APRIL 20, 2010. THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN CHRYSLER'S DEALERSHIP TWICE IN MARCH. MARCH 3RD FOR A OIL CHANGE THAT ENDED UP COSTING 392.80. MARCH 24 IT WAS TOWED IN BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T TURN OVER. YOU COULDN'T EVEN JUMP START IT. THEY REPLACE IGNITION SWITCH AND CYLINDER. AGAIN THEY REPLACE THE CRANKSHAFT SEAL .{ THIS WAS SUPPOSE TO BE FIX ON MARCH 3 2010 I PAID FOR IT. WHICH BRINGS ME TO THE PRESENT THE CAR IS STILL AT THE DEALERSHIP, THIS IS THE FOURTH DAY,...

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ENGINE WILL RANDOMLY STALL WHILE TURNING. *NJ THE DEALERSHIP HAD NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND THEY WERE UNABLE TO DUPLICATE IT. *JB

05 CHRYS-PAC ON 11-15-09 DRIVING ON INTERSTATE 87N TURNED ON AC TO CLEAR WINDOWS EVERYTHING IN THE CAR WENT DEAD, ENGINE, ELECT PWR EVERYTHING, NO PWR STEERING, NOPWR BRAKES, JUST MADE IT TO ROAD SIDE WITH OUT GETTING HIT. AFTER A SHORT TIME THE CAR STARTED AGAIN AND WAS DRIVEN HOME. *TR

WE HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS BEEN ACTING UP. THE HEADLAMPS AND INTERIOR LAMPS WILL FLICKER LIKE THERE IS A SHORT, AND THEN THE ABS AND BRAKE LIGHTS WILL COME ON AND CHIME. THE RADIO WILL ALSO HAVE A POP NOISE AND TURN OFF. THE VEHICLE HAS LOST POWER TWICE NOW WHILE COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND IN OUR DRIVEWAY. NOW THE DOOR LOCK ACTUATOR IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WITH READING ALL THE COMPLAINTS THIS VEHICLE HAS ON THE SAME ITEMS, I WOULD THINK A MAJOR RECALL WOULD NEED TO BE MADE BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT, IF SOMEONE HASN'T ALL READY. *TR

FAILURE TO START, A MECHANICAL PART BROKE IN THE STEERING COLUMN. THEY TOLD ME THEY HAVE HAD SO MANY OF THESE PARTS BRAKE THAT IT WOULD BE UNTIL JULY UNTIL THEY CAN GET THE PART. IF THIS IS A FACT I FEEL IT SHOULD BE A RECALLED ITEM AND NOT MY PROBLEM. I AM WITH OUT A CAR FOR TWO MONTHS. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA BATTERY DIES SOMEHOW AND LEAVES ME STRANDED. THIS HAPPENS EVERY COUPLE WEEKS. THERE IS SOMETHING DRAINING THE BATTERY THAT CAUSES IT NOT TO START. AND NO I AM NOT LEAVING A LIGHT ON OR DOOR OPEN. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. RIGHT HEADLIGHT WILL QUIT WITH NO WARNING, THEN WILL COME BACK ON ITS OWN ACCORD. DEALER CHECKED FOR PREVIOUS REPORTS OF PROBLEM AND FOUND NONE. MECHANIC SAID THE HARNESS COMES LOOSE AND MUST BE RESEATED. NO EASY TASK SINCE IT IS UNDER THE BREATHER TUBE AND DIFFICULT TO GET TO. ALSO, LEFT REAR TURN SIGNAL WILL QUIT WORKING THEN COME BACK ON. WIRING HARNESS SEEMS TO BE INTACT SO OTHER OPTION WOULD BE BULBS (2). HOWEVER, IF THEY ARE BAD, WHY DOES THE SIGNAL RESTORE ITSELF? DEALER HAD NO ANSWER FOR THAT MYSTERY EITHER. PROBLEM STARTED MID-SUMMER 2008 AND HAS CONTINUED INTERMITTENTLY EVER SINCE. *TR

(1) NONE (2) STALLING, CONSTANT, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS/CONDITIONS. (3) INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND DEALER COULD NOT FIX, AS IT DOES NOT SEND AND ERROR CODE.

OUR 2005 PACIFICA TOURING AWD WAS PURCHASED NEW IN 2005, WE HAD A PROBLEM WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL AT ABOUT 4000 MILES. WHEN DRIVING OUT OF TOWN THE CRUISE CONTROL SHUT OFF, THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL STILL HAD THE CRUISE LIGHT ON , BUT THE SET LIGHT WENT OFF. WE COULD NOT USE THE CRUISE CONTROL UNTIL WE PULLED OVER AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN AROUND 16000 MILES. BOTH TIMES THE DEALER SAID THEY COULD NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. AROUND 17, 500 MILES THE RADIO WOULD NOT DELAY AND STAYED ON AFTER THE IGNITION WAS TURNED TO OFF. *AK ABOUT TWO WEEKS LATER THE MAP LIGHTS WOULD NOT WORK WHEN THE ENGINE WAS RUNNING. IT WAS BROUGHT TO THE DEALER AND WE WERE TOLD THAT THE BODY CONTROL MODULE (BCM) WAS BAD AND IT WOULD BE REPLACED. THE PART WAS ORDERED AND INSTALLED. IN JANUARY...

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT WITNESSED SMOKE RISING FROM BENEATH THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE AS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THE FIRE WAS EXTERNAL.

SINCE 2006, I'VE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE OF ABS LIGHT TURNING ON AND OFF. AT THE TIME THIS OCCURS, THE BRAKES ALSO LOCK UP AND MAKE NOISES WHEN PRESSED. EACH TIME, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLS ME ITS A SENSOR AND WHEN REPLACED, IT STOPS DOING IT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME A "SENSOR" NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SAY THERE ARE MULTIPLE SENSORS, AND EACH TIME IT APPEARS TO BE A DIFFERENT ONE. *JB
