WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP ONCE I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO START AGAIN THE CAR WOULD MAKE A BUCKING MOVEMENT AND THEN PROCEED TO MOVE ON AS NORMAL. WELL ONE DAY CAR STARTED TO OVER HEAT AS OIL GAUGE RAISED, SO PULLED THE CAR OVER AND LET IT COOL DOWN. WENT TO LOCAL GAS STATION TO PICK UP COOLANT AND POURED IT IN AND THEN STARTED CAR TO SEE THAT IT WAS ALL GUSHING OUT THE FRONT END. COULD NOT DRIVE IT SO HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE FOR REPAIR. COME TO FIND OUT THAT A FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNT HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE MOTOR TO SHIFT SLIGHTLY EVERY TIME I PRESSED THE GAS WITH THIS MOTOR SHIFTING IT WENT OVER ENOUGH TO LOOSEN AND UNDO THE RADIATOR HOSE WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO OVERHEAT. THE FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNTS WERE REPLACED, BUT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 10 MPH WHEN HE SMELLED A BURNING ODOR FROM THE ENGINE.

ENGINE MOUNTS ARE BAD - ONE IS MISSING. THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH MANY PACIFICA OWNERS. ABS LIGHT CAME ON - THIS IS HOW IT WAS DIAGNOSED. WE HAVE ONLY DONE URBAN/HIGHWAY DRIVING WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT WAS DRIVING 60 MPH AS THE VEHICLE EXHIBITED AN UNUSUAL VIOLENT VIBRATION IN THE FRONT END. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED AND SHE PULLED OFF THE ROADWAY AND SHUT OFF THE ENGINE.

THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE ENGINE WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

ENGINE FAILED WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. ENGINE WAS PROPERLY MAINTAINED. OIL CHANGES EVERY 3-5000 MILES AND HAD A BEARING BREAK AND ENGINE TOTALED BEFORE 80,000 MILES. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED WHEN BRAKING OR WHEN COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE FUEL LEVEL GAUGE WOULD READ INACCURATE FUEL LEVELS. THE DEALER ADVISED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER RECALL AND WOULD NOT PROVIDE ANY FURTHER ASSISTANCE. THE VEHICLE WAS NEITHER DIAGNOSED NOR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 102900.

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 WENT TO A LOCAL SERVICE/REPAIR FACILITY AND WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. UPON SOME RESEARCH ON-LINE, I NOTICED THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, SHE HEARD A TICKING SOUND. THE TICKING SOUND SEEMED TO BECOME LOUDER WHEN THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING WHERE SHE WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE WAS DEFECTIVE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 46,000.

I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN IN A PARKING GARAGE, WHILE BRAKING AND HAVING THE AC ON, AND MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLED. I WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL AND RESTART IT, BUT NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING LESS THAN 5 MPH AND MAKING RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND DRIVE NORMALLY WITHOUT STALLING. THE FAILURE PREVIOUSLY OCCURRED AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH AND HAS BEGUN STALLING AT LEAST ONCE A DAY. THE DEALER CONFIRMED THAT THERE WERE NO RELATED RECALLS AND NO WARRANTY AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 75 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V432000. THE MANUFACTURER COULD NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE LESS THAN 65,000. UPDATED 09/23/09. *LJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE GAS NEEDLE WENT FROM THE HALF WAY MARK STRAIGHT DOWN TO EMPTY. UPDATED 09/23/09.*JB

HIGH LEVEL OF FAILURE OF MOTOR MOUNTS IN CHRYSLER PACIFICA. UNABLE TO GET REPLACEMENT PARTS DUE TO 1000'S BEING ON BACK ORDER. STARTED TRYING TO LOCATE AND PURCHASE MOTOR MOUNTS IN 11/08. PAID FOR THE REPLACEMENT MOTOR MOUNTS AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN 1/09 AND AS OF 6/09/09 MOTOR MOUNTS ARE STILL UNAVAILABLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT THE SAFETY RAMIFICATIONS ARE, OTHER THAN IF THE MOUNTS WERE TO FAIL COMPLETELY WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY 65 MILES PER HOURS IN TRAFFIC... WHILE I FIRST BECAME AWARE OF THE MOTOR MOUNT ISSUE AROUND 11/08, THE MOTOR MOUNTS APPARENTLY WERE DAMAGED BEFORE THEN. *TR

ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, THE MOTOR MOUNTS SEEM TO BE SUBSTANDARD AND REQUIRE REPLACEMENT AT A HIGHER INTERVAL THAN NORMAL. WHILE THIS MAY NOT SEEM LIKE A HUGE ISSUE INITIALLY, A FAILED MOTOR MOUNT IS A REASON TO REJECT A VEHICLE INSPECTION IN THE STATE OF VA. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR USED 2 YEARS AGO, I NEEDED TO REPLACE A FAILED MOTOR MOUNT, NOW, 2 YEARS LATER AND WITH THE CAR HAVING LESS THAN 65,000 MILES I AM HAVING TO REPLACE A MOTOR MOUNT AGAIN. THE REAL ISSUE NOW SEEMS TO BE THAT CHRYSLER AS A WHOLE IS OUT OF STOCK AS THERE IS A NATIONAL BACKORDER IN EFFECT AT THE MOMENT. THE FACT THAT THIS PART IS ON A NATIONAL BACKORDER MAKES ME FEEL AS IF THEY ARE BEING REPLACED BY MANY OTHER PACIFICA OWNERS. RESEARCH ONLINE HAS SHOWN THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS FAIL ON THE PACIFICA...

I WAS EXITING OFF THE FREEWAY AND CAME TO A STOP. AS I ACCELERATED OUT OF THE STOP A GUSH OF HOT RADIATOR FLUID CAME SHOOTING OUT OF AN AREA RIGHT ABOVE THE GAS PEDDLE AND BURNED MY RIGHT ANKLE. I SUSTAINED SECOND DEGREE BURNS AND WAS TREATED AT MY LOCAL DOCTOR'S OFFICE. *TR

I BEGAN HAVING A PROBLEM ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WITH MY ABS LIGHT COMING ON. IT WOULD COME ON AND TURN OFF RANDOMLY. RECENTLY THE LIGHT CAME ON PERMANENTLY AND MY BRAKES BEGAN GRINDING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THE ABS SENSOR IS BAD. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS CRACKED AND MUST BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, AND HAS 47000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE DEALER THAT WE PURCHASED IT FROM ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY RECALL INFORMATION REGARDING EITHER PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT BOTH PROBLEMS ARE DANGEROUS, SINCE THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY IN MY SITUATION. IF CRACKED MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT TAKEN CARE OF, THEY COULD...

I BROUGHT MY 2005 PACIFICA IN FOR THE ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON TO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I BOUGHT IT (ANCIRA). THEY CLEARED THE MEMORY AND GAVE IT BACK, IT IMMEDIATELY CAME BACK ON WHEN I PICKED IT UP SO I LEFT IT. THEY DID SOME THINGS TO THE ENGINE TO FIX IT. THE ENGINE BEGAN BURNING OIL AFTER ANCIRA DEALERSHIP SERVICED IT FOR ENGINE LIGHT PROBLEMS. I BROUGHT IT TO BOERNE CHRYSLER SUPERSTORE BECAUSE I DID NOT APPRECIATE HOW I WAS TREATED AT THE ANCIRA DEALERSHIP. THE ENGINE WAS REPLACED AT THE BOERNE CHRYSLER SUPERSTORE BUT NOW LEAKS OIL. I WOULD LIKE CHRYSLER TO BUY THIS VEHICLE BACK BECAUSE IT HAS DONE NOTHING BUT CAUSE US PROBLEMS. I AM SURPRISED I WAS NOT STRANDED FOR IT BURNING OIL. I HAVE 2 SMALL CHILDREN AND THE THOUGHT OF IT POSSIBLY LEAVING US STRANDED IS FRUSTRATING. WE PURCHASED A NEW VEHICLE WITH...

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA NOTICED LOUD ENGINE TAPPING AFTER A COUPLE THOUSAND MILES AFTER PURCHASE. CHECKED OIL AND IT WAS ABOUT 2.5 QUARTS LOW. I HAD THE OIL CHANGED, ALL WAS FINE.. DROVE ANOTHER 2000 MILES,CHECKED OIL AND 2 QUARTS LOW AGAIN. HAD A DEALERSHIP LOOK INTO IT AND THEY SAID THEY FOUND NO LEAKS. WAS TOLD 2 QUARTS IN 2000 MILES IS NOT NORMAL. THEY SAID IT WOULD COST ME $2000 TO TEAR INTO THE ENGINE AND FIND THE PROBLEM. I GUESS I SHOULD TOP OFF THE OIL AND TRADE IT IN. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE ACCELERATING TO 5 MPH FROM THE IDLE POSITION, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT BEGAN TO HESITATE. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME SLOWLY AND BROUGHT TO A DEALER THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR TWO WEEKS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES, BUT NO REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,525 ,AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,435. *AK

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2005 PACIFICA AWD. IN NOV 06, THE VEHICLE STALLED COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND BOTH TIMES, WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. DURING THE SAME TIME, WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE WARNOCK EAST HANOVER (NJ) DEALER (SAME PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) TO FIX IT. THEY FIXED THE STALLING RECALL ISSUE AND OTHER MINOR ISSUES AND SAID THAT IT'S DRIVABLE NOW AND ASSURED ME THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY, IT STALLED AGAIN AND NEARLY AVERTED AN ACCIDENT. IT'S REALLY SCARY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 6000 MILES ON IT AS IT HAS BEEN PRIMARILY USED TO DROP MY DAUGHTER IN SCHOOL. NOW, MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AS...

CAR STALL OUT WHILE TURNING. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH ON NORMAL ROAD CONDITIONS, THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE DOOR OPENED. THE DOOR WAS LOCKED BUT THE DOOR LIGHT THAT SIGNALED THE DOOR WAS OPEN WAS ILLUMINATED. THIS WAS THE FIRST INCIDENT WITH THE VEHICLE, WHICH ALSO HAVE HAD AN ENGINE THAT STALLED. THE ENGINE FAILURE LIGHT ALERTED THE CONTACT FOR THE ENGINE PROBLEM. THE ABS LIGHT ALSO ALERTED THE CONTACT FOR THE BRAKES FAILURE; THE SENSORS WERE REPLACED. THE DEALERSHIP HAD HONORED THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE CONTACT WAS VERY UPSET BECAUSE OF THE SIX TIMES THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TAKEN TO THE DEALERSHIP.

MULTIPLE TIMES MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS STALLED FOR NO REASON. I CAN BE DRIVING AND THE CAR JUST STALLS. I HAVE TO PUT CAR BACK INTO PARK AND TURN KEY OFF, THEN I CAN RESTART THE ENGINE. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALER TWICE, AND STILL THERE SEEMS TO BE "NOTHING" WRONG WITH THE CAR. *JB

'05 PACIFICA TOURING 3.5L STALLS WHEN IN A SLOW SPEED DECELERATING LEFT HAND TURN. VEHICLE STARTS AGAIN IMMEDIATELY.*JB

I OWN A CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2005. I HAVE HAD IT FOR ALMOST A YEAR AND IT HAS STALLED ON ME 4 TIMES. THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, WHEN IT SHUT OFF. THE WHEEL LOCKED, RADIO TURNED OFF EVERYTHING. I HAD TO QUICKLY RESTART THE CAR TO AVOID BEING HIT BY TRAFFIC BEHIND ME. THE SECOND TIME I WAS IN A RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD AND IT SHUT WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT. I DIDN'T KNOW IT SHUT OFF UNTIL I HIT THE GAS. THE THIRD AND FORTH TIME IT HAS SHUT OFF AS WELL WHILE DRIVING IN RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOODS THIS HAPPENING THIS WEEK. ALL OF THESE TIMES I HAVE HAD CHILDREN IN THE CAR. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO CHRYSLER AND I WAS TOLD THAT BECAUSE THERE IS NO RECALL THERE IS NOTHING THAT COULD BE DONE TO THE VEHICLE. I WAS ADVISED TO TAKE IT IN TO...

STALL WHILE VEHICLE MOVING. IT HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE MAKING LEFT HAND TURNS BETWEEN APRIL 06 AND JULY 06. WE HAD TSB FIX 1803905 IN AUG. 06. NO PROBLEMS UNTIL OCTOBER 17, 2006 WHEN IT STALLED AGAIN WHILE DRIVING AT SLOW SPEED IN A STRAIGHT LINE. NOW EVERY TIME I DRIVE IN STRAIGHT LINE OR TURN IN FRONT OF CARS I AM VERY AWARE THAT MY CAR MAY NOT BE RUNNING. IT IS A VERY INSECURE FEELING. \ THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME WITH THIS MATTER. *NM

ENGINES STALLS ON RARE OCCASIONS. GENERALLY THIS HAPPENS WHEN DRIVING WITHIN A PARKING LOT. IT HAS HAPPENED WHEN STOPPING FOR A TRAFFIC LIGHT. *JB

1) I WAS DRIVING ON INTERSTATE AND EXITED. SHORTLY AFTERWARDS WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY MY CAR STALLED AND I LOST ALL CONTROL, FORTUNATELY, DID NOT HAVE AN ACCIDENT. 2) CAR STALLED WHEN DRIVING SLOWLY, SHORTLY AFTER DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. LOST ALL CONTROL OF VEHICLE. 3) RESTARTED CAR AND EVERYTHING SEEMED OKAY. NOW THIS HAS HAPPENED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SO I AM TAKING IT TO THE DEALER TOMORROW TO SEE IF THEY CAN IDENTIFY SOURCE OF PROBLEM AS THIS COULD BE VERY SERIOUS IF IT CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE SLOWING TO A STOP, THE ENGINE SEIZED AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE ENGINE ONLY STALLED WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL. AFTERWARDS, THE ENGINE WAS EASILY RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS INSPECTED BY A DEALER WHO WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM.

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FWD 3.6L 24 V. VEHICLE'S GAS GAUGE READS ABOUT 1/4 TO 1/3 OF A TANK FULL, THEN SUDDENLY DROPS TO EMPTY. WITH IN A FEW MILES OF DRIVING THE VEHICLE AFTER THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE STALLS OUT. THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO ALMOST STALLED OUT THREE OTHER TIMES AND HAS STALLED OUT 5 TIMES NOW. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN SERVICED TWICE ONCE THE BCM WAS RESET AND THE SECOND TIME THE LEVELING UNITS AND SENDING UNITS IN THE GAS TANK WERE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD THIS OCCURRENCE AGAIN AND THE DEALERSHIP HAS INFORMED ME THEY WILL CONTACT ME AGAIN THIS COMING MONDAY TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE, EVEN THOUGH THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS FIXED AND THIS PROBLEM WOULD NOT OCCUR AGAIN. I HAVE ONLY OWNED THE VEHICLE FOR 5 WEEKS, AND IT HAS STALLED OUT 5 TIMES AND THE GAS GAUGE HAS...

CAR STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. HAD JUST TAKEN A TURN TO RIGHT. WEATHER WAS HOT AND HUMID. CAR IS 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. TOOK TO DEALER NEXT DAY, NO ERROR CODES OR OTHER PROBLEM REPORTED. *JB

PURCHASED AN 2005 PACIFICA JUNE 10TH. WAS BACK IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 3 DAYS AFTER PURCHASE WITH CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON. SERVICE SUPPOSEDLY REPAIRED PROBLEM BUT AFTER 1 WEEK NOTICED VEHICLE MISFIRING AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BACK ON. TOOK IT BACK SERVICE REPLACED A PART (NOT SURE WHAT) AND RESET LIGHT. AS OF TODAY THIS MAKES MY 4TH TRIP TO SERVICE DEPARTMENT WITH SAME PROBLEM. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE MECHANIC SAID TODAY IT FAILED THE EMISSIONS TEST AND HE CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHY. I LEFT IT THERE AND TOOK A RENTAL, BUT NOW IT KIND OF FEELS LIKE I HAVE BOUGHT A PROBLEM. (CHECK ENGINE LIGHT). *NM

LAST SEPT MY WIFE AND I PURCHASED A SLIGHTLY USED 05 PACIFICA. ONE WEEK LATER MY WIFE EXPERIENCED THE FIRST STALL WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT. I CONTACTED THE DEALER AND FOUND THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF SIMILAR COMPLAINTS AND CHRYSLER WOULD HAVE A SOLUTION BY DEC 05. WE HAVE SINCE HAD AROUND 7 STALLING ISSUES WITH THIS MODEL, USUALLY TURNING AT LOW SPEED OR BACKING UP. AFTER SEVERAL CALLS TO CHRYSLER AND THE DEALERSHIP, WE STILL HAVE NO ANSWERS. THE DEALER IS TRYING TO WASH THEIR HANDS OF THE PROBLEM AND CONTINUES TO DIRECT ME TO THE MANUFACTURER. CHRYSLER WILL NOT ADMIT TO KNOWING THE PROBLEM EXISTS. I HAVE A PREGNANT WIFE AND A FIVE YEAR OLD RIDING IN THIS VEHICLE AND I'M CONCERNED THAT THIS STALLING PROBLEM WILL OCCUR WHILE DRIVING IN TRAFFIC AND COULD POTENTIALLY BE HARMFUL TO MY FAMILY. *NM

DRIVING A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, I HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH THE ENGINE STALLING WHILE DRIVING. WE HAVE OWNED THE VEHICLE SINCE JAN 06 AND TODAY WAS THE THIRD TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. I WAS MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN AT A STOP LIGHT DURING RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. I MADE THE TURN WHEN A BREAK IN TRAFFIC CAME UP. WHILE IN THE TURN THE ENGINE STALLS LEAVING THE CAR UNSAFE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION. CONTACTED THE CHRYLSER DEALERSHIP THEY ARE UNAWARE OF ANY KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE PACIFICA ENGINE STALLS. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHILE TURNING LEFT AT VARIOUS SPEEDS ON FOUR SEPARATE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. UPON INSPECTION THE DEALERSHIP WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT ALERTED.

TYPICAL DRIVING PATTERN/HABITS, YET WHEN RUNNING THE 2005 PACIFICA AWD MODEL TOURING EDITION ON THE FREEWAY, WITHIN 2 MILES AT 65 MPH, THE ENGINE/TRANSMISSION WOULD "SHUDDER", THEN THE ENGINE WOULD PARTIALLY INCREASE RPM'S BY 200+ AND DECREASE BY 200+ RPM, THEN ACT AS IF THE FUEL WAS CUT OFF. I SELECTED THE 3 AND 4 GEARS WITH THE SHIFTER TO SEE IF IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION, BUT NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN THOSE TWO GEARS AS TO THE AMPLIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM. THE "SHUDDERING" WAS THE SAME INTENSITY. I HAD TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING. AFTER PULLING OFF OF THE FREEWAY AND DRIVING BACK TO MY HOME, THE ENGINE STALLED/STOPPED AT AN INTERSECTION DOING THE SAME 200+/ 200- RPM BUSINESS. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE IN FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM, WHERE THE TECHNICIANS COULD NOT FIGURE OUT THE SITUATION. IN DISCUSSIONS WITH CHRYSLER(AFTER 1.5...

CAR STALLS AT LOW SPEED TURNS TO THE LEFT. ON THE BRAKE, OFF THE GAS PEDAL. DOES NOT SPUTTER JUST SHUTS OF IN TURN WITH NO WARNING. IN THE SHOP 5 TIMES UNABLE TO REPAIR IT. HAPPENED OVER 20 TIMES SINCE CAR WAS NEW. CLOSE CALLS OF HITTING OBJECTS. *NM

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE TURNING INTO PARKING SPOT AT LOW SPEED. POWER STEERING WAS LOST AT THAT TIME MAKING IT DIFFICULT TO MANEUVER VEHICLE. WHEN VEHICLE WAS PLACED INTO PARK, I WAS ABLE RESTART THE VEHICLE AND SAFELY PARK. *NM

1) DRIVING THE FIRST TIME, AND SITTING IN PARK THE SECOND TIME 2) CHRYSLER 2005 PACIFICA STALLED OUT FOR NO REASON, BUT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR. LUCKILY THE FIRST TIME I WAS DRIVING IN A PARKING LOT AND NOT ON THE ROAD 3) LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAS NO IDEA WHAT THE PROBLEM IS AND CANNOT REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. *JB

SHUT DOWN ENGINE WHILE DRIVING. *NM

ENTERING A BUSY PARKING LOT, AFTER MAKING A SHARP LEFT HAND TURN, THE SUV STALLED AND DIED. THIS WAS NOT THE FIRST TIME, IT HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO MY WIFE TWICE BEFORE. *NM

DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WITHOUT WARNING, AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLS. THE VEHICLE IS PULLED OVER AND RESTARTS. THE DEALERSHIP HAS SEEN THE VEHICLE TWICE FOR THIS, BUT IS UNABLE TO DETERMINE A PROBLEM.

CAR STALLED ON 3 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. ALL THREE TIMES OCCURRED WHILE MAKING A SLOW LEFT HAND TURN. WHEN THIS OCCURRED, THE POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES FAILED. WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER PUTTING IT IN NEUTRAL. *NM

VEHICLE STALLED WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN. WAS UNABLE TO MAKE LEFT TURN DUE TO POWER STEERING SHUTTING OFF AS WELL AS ENGINE, ENDED UP STALLING IN MIDDLE OF INTERSECTION. *NM

FREQUENT LOW SPEED STALLING OF ENGINE. *NM

ON 19 OCTOBER 2005, I HAD JUST COMPLETED A LEFT HAND TURN AND CAME TO A SOMEWHAT ABRUPT STOP AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, I HIT THE GAS BUT THE CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. I NOTICED THAT I LOST MY POWER STEERING FOR THE STEERING WHEEL FELT HEAVY. THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE ON BUT I DID NOT NOTICE ANY WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD. THE CD PLAYER WAS STILL PLAYING NOR DID IT PAUSE WHEN THIS OCCURRED. UNCERTAIN AS TO WHETHER THE CAR WAS OFF OR NOT, I TURNED THE KEY TO THE "OFF" POSITION AND RESTARTED THE ENGINE. THE VEHICLE OPERATED PROPERLY AFTER THE INCIDENT. HOWEVER, I BECAME CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT HIGHER SPEEDS FEARING THAT IT WOULD HAPPEN AGAIN. *JB

ENGINE STALL WHILE PERFORMING TURNS. MY WIFE HAS BEEN CLOSE TO BE INVOLVE IN AN ACCIDENT IN THE LAST COUPLE TIMES. THE DEALER SAYS THEY CAN NOT DO NOTHING UNTIL CHRYSLER INVESTIGATES THE PROBLEM. MAYBE CHRYSLER IS WAITING UNTIL SOMEONE GETS INVOLVE IN AN ACCIDENT TO RESOLVE THE ISSUE. *NM

STALLS DURING HARD TURNS LIKE INTO A PARKING SPACE. *JB
