CAR LOSES POWER AND CUTS OFF DUE TO PCM AND FUEL SYSTEM

THE 2005 CHRYSTLER PACIFICA WAS TRAVELING 35 MPH IN THE WINTER ON A PAVED ROAD WHEN IT JUST DIED NO WARNING. I HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE FOR FURTHER TESTING.THE CAR TRIES STARTING BUT NEVER TURNS OVER ACT LIKE NO FUEL. I THEN HOOKED IT UP TO MY FOXWELL NT630 ELITE OBD2 SCANNER IT DETECTED CODES P0340, P2066, P0700, & P0461 CODE P0340 CAM SHAFT POSITION SENSOR A CIRCUIT BANK 1 OR SINGLE SENSOR (PART REPLACED).

I DROVE OUT FROM CAR WASH I WAS GOING ABOUT 35MPH THEN I TURNED RIGHT ON TO THE FREEWAY SOON AS I REACHED 50MPH MY VEHICLE MADE A WEIRD NOISE AND SHUT OFF AS IM ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON WHATSOEVER ALTHOUGH I GOT A "GAS CAP" MESSAGE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREE WAY(NO ACCIDENT, THANKFULLY) THE BREAKS WERE HARD TO PUSH DOWN I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LET IT ROLL THROUGH TRAFFIC I GOT TO A SAFE PLACE I PUT IT IN PARK WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO TRY STARTING IT, IT WOULD NOT START. SMOKE CAME OUT FROM BACK PASSENGER REAR TIRE. LET MY CAR SIT OVER NIGHT TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT MORNING, AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED IT INTO SHOP THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM I HAD LEFT MY...

TAKATA RECALL THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND BANGS WHEN STOPPED, ALSO WHILE STOPPED THE CAR REGISTERS 20MPH. WHEN DRIVING SPEED REACHES 60MPH THE CAR HAS POWER SURGES AND SHUTTERS, THE CAR MAKES A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHILE DRIVING LIKE IT IS STUCK IN HIGH GEAR. THE CAR HAS A HIGH RPM SPEED OF 4-6RPMS WHILE DRIVING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES.

I JUST CAME OUT FROM CAR WASH I TURNED RIGHT ON TO THE FREEWAY SOON AS I REACHED 50MPH MY VEHICLE MADE A WEIRD NOISE AND SHUT OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I HAD TO PULL OFF FREE WAY(NO ACCIDENT, THANKFULLY) GO TO A SAFE PLACE PUT IT IN PARK TRY STARTING IT IT WOULDN'T START. SMOKE CAME OUT FROM BACK PASSENGER REAR TIRE. LET MY CAR SIT OVER NIGHT TRIED TO START IT NEXT MORNING, WOULDN'T START. TOWED IT INTO SHOP THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BUT LATER THEY TOLD ME I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. I ONLY GOT TO DRIVE IT 2X BEFORE IT STALLED. I REALLY LIKE IT AND WISH I CAN GET IT FIXED

CAR WAS STATIONARY IN RESIDENTIAL DRIVEWAY. TRANSMISION WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE SIMPLE RELEASE MECHANISM DID NOT HELP. TOOK CONSOL APART. AS DESCRIBED ON YOUTUBE VIDEOS, COULD SEE THAT THE PINK PLASTIC PART WAS BROKEN SO SPRING DID NOT OPERATE. FOUND OPENING SO I COULD ROTATE THE PINK PART WITH FINGER AND GET OUT OF PARK. THIS PROBLEM SOUNDS EXACTLY LIKE PROBLEMS COVERED BY RECALL K39, BUT MY MODEL IS APPARENTLY NOT COVERED. WHY IS IT NOT COVERED? SHOULD CHRYSLER COVER THE REPAIR?

WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (DRIVING 45 MI/HR), IT STOPPED MOVING ACCELERATING (SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS ACTUALLY SLOWING DOWN) EVEN WHEN I WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. AND THEN THE CAR STALLED.......IT WAS A GOOD THING I WAS ON THE VERY RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE. THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND/OR THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) SOFTWARE MAY ALLOW THE ENGINE TO STALL UNDER CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. DEALERS WILL NEED TO REPROGRAM/REPLACE THE PCM/TCM AND/OR REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN. IN MOST CASES, ASIDE FROM STALLING AND ENGINE REVVING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN, THERE'S A LOT OF HARD JERKING WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN SINCE WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE OR DELAY IN MOVING FORWARD AND IF I LET GO OF...

FRONT SUB-FRAME HAS RUSTED THROUGH RENDERING THE VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS THE EXACT SAME FAILURE AS MANY OTHER REPORTS YOU HAVE RECEIVED ON THIS VINTAGE, MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. FCA HAS REFUSED TO OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE TOWARD THE REPAIR AND MY LOCAL MECHANIC REPORTED THAT NEW REPLACEMENT SUB-FRAMES ARE NOT EVEN AVAILABLE - LEAVING CONSUMERS WITH THE CHOICE OF RECYCLING THE VEHICLE AT A SALVAGE YARD, REPAIRING IT WITH WHAT IS OBVIOUSLY FLAWED OEM COMPONENTS, OR KEEP IT AS LAWN DECORATION. I HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE OFF THE ROAD AND AM THANKFUL THE PROBLEM WAS DISCOVERED PRIOR TO MY WIFE OR SON EXPERIENCING A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE WHILE DRIVING. IT IS ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE SOMEONE LOOSES A LIFE BECAUSE OF THIS DEFECT. BE PROACTIVE AND FORCE FCA TO REPAIR THESE FAILURES - REGARDLESS OF MILEAGE - OR THIS ORGANIZATION IS PART OF THE PROBLEM.

VEHICLE ENGINE CRADLE SUB-FRAME IS ROTTING THROUGH AND NEARLY SEPARATING ONE PORTION FROM ANOTHER. THIS WILL AT SOME POINT IN TIME FAIL IN A CATASTROPHIC MANNER. THIS DEFECT SEEMS TO BE WELL DOCUMENTED ON NUMEROUS WEB SITES AND FIAT CHRYSLER GROUP IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND MAKES LIKE THE PROBLEM IS WITH ONLY A VERY LIMITED NUMBER OF VEHICLES WHICH IS CLEARLY NOT THE CASE. THEY HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY OF NOTE FOR THIS VERY PROBLEM, BUT IS LIMITING IT TO A VERY FEW CARS MANUFACTURED BETWEEN A VERY LIMITED TIMEFRAME FROM LATE 2004 TO EARLY 2005, ALL OTHERS ARE EXCLUDED IN SPITE OF THE FACT THAT NUMEROUS PACIFICA'S ARE NOTED AS HAVING THIS PROBLEM.THIS REPAIR IS AN APPROX. $3000 REPAIR THAT CHRYSLER IS IGNORING THE SAFETY OF THE OWNERS AND FAMILIES OF THESE CARS AND THOSE DRIVING AROUND THEM. *TR

AS I SAT AT A STOP LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN, THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED UP TO 20 MPH AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD STATED ON SINCE THAN. I HAD THE CODE SCANNED AND IT CAME BACK AS CODES P0700 AND P0740. I SEARCHED FOR THE MEANING OF THOSE CODES AND THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID IT WAS THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY VIN SPECIFIC VEHICLE. I OF COURSE ASKED HOW IT WAS NOT RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE WHEN EVERYTHING I HAVE READ SAYS IT WAS FOR ALL 2005-2006 PACIFICA'S. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENING WITH OTHER PACIFICA OWNERS AS WELL. I WOULD...

I HAVE JUST PERFORMED ROUTINE (10/03/20014) MAINTENANCE ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE MECHANIC CALLED TO INFORM ME OF SIGNIFICANT CORROSION PROBLEM WITH THE CROSS MEMBER (CRADLE) THAT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, FRONT SUSPENSION AND STEERING. HIS VISUAL INSPECTION, AS WELL AS MINE, SHOWED MORE THEN 75% OF THE PASSENGER SIDE CRADLE RUSTED AWAY. AN OPEN CASE # 25736224 HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED BY CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SUPPORT. MY PACIFICA WAS PRODUCED SEPTEMBER 30, 2004 WHICH IS OUTSIDE OF THE ASSEMBLY DATES ESTABLISHED BY CHRYSLER FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. FAILURE OF THE CROSS MEMBER (CRADLE) WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF STEERING, ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FAILURE, AND SEVERED BRAKE LINES. BECAUSE THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE IT SHOULD BE REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER CORPORATION. *TR

THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED MULTIPLE TIMES DURING A LEFT TURN. APPARENTLY MANY OF THE 05 PACIFICAS WERE RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT THE CHRYSLER SERVICE SAID MY VEHICLE WAS NOT UNDER THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE UNDER THE RECALL. 06V432000. SINCE MY VIN DOES NOT PULL UP THE RECALL THEY WILL NOT COVER FIXING THE VEHICLE, EVEN THOUGH SO MANY OTHER CARS WERE RECALLED IN THE SAME YEAR FOR THIS DANGEROUS ISSUE. *TR

THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED ABOUT THE FAILURE AND REFUSED TO PROVIDE ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN REPAIRED UNDER AN UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER RECALL. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

THE SUB FRAME UNDER THE DRIVE TRAIN HAS RUSTED OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT HAS LITTLE OR NO STRUCTURAL STRENGTH, THIS HAS ESSENTIALLY RENDERED THE CAR INOPERATIVE AND UNSAFE TO OPERATE. THE CAR HAS BARELY 100,000 MILES. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 PACIFICA. THE CAR WAS IN FOR BODY WORK, WHEN A MECHANIC NOTICED SEVERE RUSTING ON THE FRAME. HE STATED THAT THE ENGINE, COULD FALL THROUGH THE BODY FRAME! I DID A GOOGLE SEARCH AND FOUND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THERE IS A STORY FROM A TV STATION IN FLORIDA COVERING THIS STORY. HTTP://WWW.NBCMIAMI.COM/INVESTIGATIONS/SOME-CHRYSLER-PACIFICA-OWNERS-SAY-THEY'VE-HAD-DANGEROUS-CORROSION-PROBLEMS-WITH-THE-POPULAR-MINIVAN-243624441.HTML. THIS IS A ENGINEERING FAILURE ACCORDING TO MY MECHANIC, WHO STATED THEY DID NOT INCLUDED ENOUGH DRAIN PLUGS. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES THIS CAR AND I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY IT IS PAST THE WARRANTY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AN ENGINE SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO FALL OUT OF ITS MOUNTINGS!!!!!! *TR

BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY, 2009, THE CAR STOP ON THE FREEWAY, PUSH ON THE GAS WOULD NOT GO, PEDAL STUCK, THE COOLANT SYSTEMS DO NOT WORK CAR WILL RUN HOT,CALLED CHRYSLER, THEY WERE NO HELP IS THERE ANY THING CAN BE DONE, YOU BUY A CAR AND IT IS A PIECE OF JUNK, ALL CHRYSLER DO IS PASS THE BUCK AS WELL GET STUCK WITH JUNK. *TR

I TOOK MY NEWLY PURCHASED 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO MY MECHANIC TO GET THE BRAKES SERVICED, AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND THE ENGINE WAS IN DANGER OF FALLING OUT! MY MECHANIC WAS EXTREMELY CONCERNED (HE IS A FRIEND AND AN HONEST MECHANIC WHO RUNS A VERY REPUTABLE REPAIR AND BODY SHOP IN OTTAWA, KS). I CALLED CHRYSLER BEFORE I PURCHASED THE CAR TO SEE IF THEIR WERE ANY RECALLS ON IT, AND WAS TOLD THEIR WAS NOT. THE CAR IS OTHERWISE IN PERFECT CONDITION, NO DAMAGE AND VERY LITTLE WEAR INSIDE AND OUT. IT WAS CLEAR TO MY MECHANIC THAT THIS WAS DUE TO SOME DEFECT IN THE VEHICLE, AND SHOULD NOT HAPPEN ON A 10 YEAR OLD CAR THAT IS IN AS GOOD OF CONDITION AS MIND IS WITH ONLY 110000 MILES ON IT. TO HAVE A NEW ENGINE CRADLE PUT IT,...

I WAS DRIVING AND GETTING READY TO TURN AT A LIGHT AND AS SOON AS I STARTED TO TURN MY CAR TURNED OFF. ALSO WHEN I BRAKE SOMEWHAT FAST IT MAKES A BIG CLUNKING SOUND. ALSO EVER SINCE I'VE HAD THE CAR IT SEEMS TO SHIFT PRETTY HARD. I AM MOSTLY CONCERNED WITH IS TURNING OFF ON ME WHILE I AM DRIVING THOUGH. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD INTERMITTENTLY JERK FORWARD FOLLOWED BY A KNOCKING NOISE FROM THE FRONT AND BOTTOM OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT HAD NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. BOTH DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

NHTSA PLEASE NOTICE HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE SUBMITTED THIS PROBLEM. OVER 50 JUST SINCE THIS JANUARY. SUBFRAME CORROSION TO THE POINT THE MECHANIC DIDN'T EVEN THINK IT SHOULD BE DRIVEN HOME. ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, FRONT WHEELS COULD ALL FALL AT ANY MOMENT. WHY HASN'T ANYONE DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS? I SEE OVER 50 PEOPLE HAVE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS VERY PROBLEM SINCE ONLY THIS JANUARY. LUCKILY WE NOTICED IT, HATE TO THINK OF ALL THE OTHER PACIFICA DRIVERS OUT THERE THAT HAVE NO IDEA THE DANGER THEY ARE IN. WHAT WILL IT TAKE? ONE DEATH? TWO DEATHS? HOW MANY PEOPLE, CHRYSLER? THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MAJOR PROBLEM AND NEEDS TO BE FIXED AT NO COST TO THE CONSUMER. WHO HAS $2500 TO REPAIR THEIR CAR? NOT US. WILL BE CONTACTING CHRYSLER TO NO AVAIL I'M SURE BUT WORTH A TRY. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO EXTENSIVE ENGINE CRADLE RUST. THIS VEHICLE'S BODY AND UNDERCARRIAGE IS IMMACULATE EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE CRADLE "K FRAME". I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE UNWILLING FIX THE PROBLEM BECAUSE IT IS 20K MILES OVER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY EVEN THOUGH THERE IS NO OTHER RUST ISSUES ON THE VEHICLE. AFTER DOING RESEARCH, I HAVE DISCOVERED THAT I AM NOT ALONE IN THIS BATTLE! I AM WITHIN 8 MONTHS OF THE PREVIOUS RECALLED VEHICLES FROM CHRYSLER FOR THIS SAME ISSUE AND I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD EXTEND THEIR RECALL AS THIS IS A POTENTIAL DANGEROUS ISSUE THAT IS GROWING WITH THIS SPECIFIC MODEL VEHICLE. *TR

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN 2007 AND IT HAD 25,000 MILES ON IT. WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 39,000 MILES ON IT I STARTED HAVING ISSUES WITH THE TRANSMISSION. WHILE DRIVING, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE CAR WOULD GET STUCK IN GEAR (STUCK BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS). AFTER I SHUT THE CAR OFF AND RESTARTED IT, I COULD DRIVE IT BY USING THE TIPTRONIC SHIFTING SYSTEM (MANUALLY SHIFTING GEARS). THE PROBLEM IS A SENSOR ON THE TRANSMISSION THAT COSTS OVER $2000 BETWEEN PARTS AND LABOR. AT 72,000 MILES I HAD TO REPLACE THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE FRONT END COMPONENTS I.E CONTROL ARMS,TIE RODS,ETC. AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER ABOUT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WHICH HAS A GOV'T MANDATED WARRANTY OF 80,000 MILE WARRANTY, THEY DID GIVE ME THE MONEY I SPENT ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER PART ONLY). WELL, THE CHRYSLER NOW HAS 104,000 MILES ON IT AND...

I INITIALLY TOOK MY CAR IN BECAUSE I HEAR A NOISE IN THE WHEEL WELL. AFTER AN ADDITIONAL DAY OF HOLDING THE VEHICLE, I WAS TOLD THAT MY CRADLE THAT BASICALLY HOUSED THE MAJOR ENGINE COMPONENTS WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACE. I WAS PROVIDED A TOTAL OF OVER $2300 FOR THE PARTS ALONE. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PART, I FOUND MANY INCIDENTS REPORTED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY CHRYSLER. I AS WELL WAS TOLD THAT I HAD EXTENDED POWER TRAIN WARRANTY WHEN I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED IN JUNE OF 2013. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY DEFECT; AS THIS CAR (AND OTHERS) ARE NOT STRUCTURALLY SOUND. I DRIVE MY 7 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER AND 10 YEAR OLD SON IN THE VEHICLE EVERYDAY. I ALSO MAKE A 68 MILE HIGHWAY COMMUTE ROUND TRIP TO AND FROM WORK IN THE VEHICLE. THIS SHOULD BE SOMETHING THAT IS RECALLED AND...
