I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE SPUTTERING WHILE DRIVING ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS. I HAD A TUNE- UP DONE WHICH WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS UNTIL IT STARTED UP AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO JERK FRONT AND BACK AND THE ENGINE WOULD ALTERNATE BETWEEN REVING UP AND SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE OUT.

I JUST WANT TO VOICE MY FEELINGS ON THIS COMPANY (CHRYSLER) CONCERNING THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2005 AWD WHY WASN'T THIS CAR RECALLED AS A WHOLE. IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A RELIABLE FAMILY CAR BEING THAT I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 5. I RESEARCHED THIS CAR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE THE RIGHT FIT. I HAVE HAD TO BUY 3 BATTERIES FOR THIS CAR WHICH TO ME SEEMS TO BE A LOT. THE CAR BURNED OIL CONSTANTLY AND NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHERE THE OIL WAS GOING, I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNT CHANGED I HAD TO REPLACE THE EGR VALVE FAILED MY EMISSIONS BECAUSE OF IT RIGHT AFTER MEANING SECONDS AFTER IT WAS CHANGED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHILE AT THE SHOP SHOWING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE CHANGED! NOT ONLY...

MY GAS PEDAL STICKS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR OR AFTER I STOP THE CAR AT A LIGHT OR SIGN. WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, I HAVE TO PUSH HARD ON THE PEDAL,WHICH MAKES THE CAR LURCH FORWARD. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, IT GETS STUCK AND I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TECH KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, SAID THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY THAT GETS OLD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR 200 BUCKS. IF THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE MAJORITY OF THE PACIFICAS, WHY DO THE CONSUMERS NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THIS IS A STRICT LIABILITY NEGLIGENCE, NOT MY FAULT. *TR

ALL THE TIME THE ENGINE WAS RACING ABOUT AS FAST AS MY HEART AND MIND. SCARED AND PRAYING NOT TO INJURE ANYONE, I TRIED AGAIN AND AGAIN, AND THE PEDAL CAUGHT IT SELF AND BEGAN TO REACT NORMALLY FOR A ABOUT 30 SECONDS WITH IT STUCK AGAIN AND THE CAR'S ENGINE BEGAN A SOUND OF RUSHING AND THE CAR BEGAN TO COAST.

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLING WHEN TURNING. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. THIS MONTH ALONE, (DECEMBER 2011) THE CAR HAS STALLED 5 TIMES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT I WILL CRASH WHEN IT STALLS. THERE ARE SO MANY CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS THAT ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALONG WITH THE STALLING ISSUE, THE GAS PEDAL STICKS AND NEEDS TO BE PUSHED RATHER HARD. A THIRD PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS YEAR IS THE HEADLAMPS "BURNING OUT". I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT LEFT HEADLAMP THREE THIS YEAR. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEADLAMPS. I AM GREATLY DISTRESSED BY THESE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY THE STALLING.

GAS PEDAL STICKS WHEN ACCELERATING AND DOESN'T RELEASE WHEN FOOT IS REMOVED CAUSING UNWANTED ACCELERATION. PRESSING ON BRAKE DOES NOT HELP. ONLY WAY TO GET PEDAL TO UNSTICK IS TO HIT IT FORCEABLY WITH YOUR FOOT SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL RELEASE. FLOOR MAT HAS BEEN REMOVED AND IT DIDN'T HELP SITUATION. GAS PEDAL STICKING AND CAUSING UNWANTED ACCELERATION STARTED HAPPENING EVERY ONCE AND AWHILE HERE AND THERE BUT HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND IS NOW HAPPENING EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY AND MY CHILDRENS SAFETY AS IT HAS ALREADY CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT WHEN I REAR ENDED ANOTHER DRIVER BECAUSE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL, BUT AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE. *TR

THE GAS PEDAL ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING MODEL STICKS UPON ACCELERATION FROM IDLE OR COLD START. IT ALSO HAS A TENDENCY TO BE HARD TO PUSH AFTER DECELERATION TO ACCELERATION. THIS OCCURS EVERY TIME GOING FROM IDLE TO ACCELERATION AND APPROXIMATELY 50% OF THE TIME WHILE RUNNING. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHYRSLER PACIFICA. THE GAS PEDAL IS STICKING. IT STICKS HARD ENOUGH THAT YOU HAVE TO FORCEFULLY PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE DOWN. THIS CAUSES UNWANTED RAPID ACCELERATION! THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. THE PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STUCK FOUR TIMES. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED IN REVERSE. UNSURE, IF MY FAMILY CAR IS SAFE, FOR MY FAMILY. *TR

STICKING GAS PEDAL ON 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFIC. *TR

I JUST TOOK MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFIC IN DUE TO THE GAS PEDAL STICKING. THE GAS PEDAL WOULD STICK AND I WOULD HAVE TO PRESS ON IT HARD IN ORDER FOR IT TO WORK.

I PAID FOR THE REPAIR (APPROX $190) BECAUSE MY WARRANTY DIDN'T COVER THE PROBLEM. I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT AT 42,000 THIS WOULD HAPPEN. *TR

ACCELERATOR STUCK OPEN WHEN BRAKING TRAVELING ~ 10MPH. THIS HAPPENED 3 DIFFERENT TIMES WITHIN 9 MONTHS SPAN. I HAD TO PUT THE GEAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURN OFF THE ENGINE.

STICKY ACCELERATOR PEDAL 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. NO EASY WAY TO ACCELERATE OUT OF FULL STOP. *TR

THIS IS AN OLD STORY. 2005 CHRYSLER PASIFICA. I ADJUSTED (MOVE FORWARD) ACCEL AND BRAKE PEDAL POSITION BY ELECTRIC POSITION ADJUSTMENT SYSTEM. THEN I WENT TO A HIGHWAY (I94, MI), MY CAR DID NOT SPEED AT ALL. VERY SLOW. SO, I COULD NOT FOLLOW THE FLOW OF OTHER VEHICLE, I WAS ALMOST BE CRASHED. I IMMEDIATELY QUIT FROM THE HIGHWAY AND CHECKED THE PEDALS. THE REASON OF THE ISSUE WAS POOR STROKE OF THE PEDALS. IN CASE OF PACIFICA, WHEN WE MOVE THE PEDALS FORWARD MORE THAN MIDDLE POSITION, MOVING RANGE OF THE ACCEL PEDAL WAS REDUCED LESS THAN HALF BECAUSE THE PEDAL HIT ON THE FLOOR. ALSO, THIS PROBLEM CAUSES AUTO CRUISE SYSTEM PROBLEM. BECAUSE THE PEDAL CAN NOT MOVE MORE THAN HALF OF ITS RANGE, THE SYSTEM CAN NOT PULL THE PEDAL CORRECTLY. THEN THE VACUUM HOSE DROPS OUT FROM THE LINE. MY VEHICLE SUDDENLY SLOW DOWN WHEN...

DEFECTIVE STICKING GAS PEDAL ON CHRYSLER PACIFICA. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW IN 2006. THE ACCELERATOR ON THE VEHICLE STICKS FORCING ME TO APPLY A GREAT DEAL OF PRESSURE TO MAKE IT GO. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THIS IS THE RESULT OF THE ACCUMULATION OF GUNK IN THE THROTTLE AND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE PACIFICA. I BELIEVE THIS POSES A SAFETY ISSUE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY ALONG WITH OTHER MOTORISTS. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURERS DEFECT SINCE IT IS SO COMMON PLACE IN THE PACIFICAS. I WOULD LIKE TO ASK YOUR AGENCY'S HELP IN MAKING CHRYSLER ACCOUNTABLE TO FIX THIS DEFECT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED. *TR

I HAVE HAD SEVERAL INCIDENTS OF THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKING. I HAVE TAKEN IT INTO THE DEALER WITH NO RESULTS. I HAVE E-MAILED CHRYSLER AND THEY TELL ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALER.

THIS IS THE SECOND TIME IN APPROXIMATELY TWO YEARS THAT I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE SAME FRONT SPEED SENSOR ON MY 2005 PACIFICA REPLACED. ON SEPTEMBER 13, 2007, THE FRONT SENSOR WAS REPLACED. IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THIS TIME AT 33,000 MILES. WE WERE TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT IT WAS "DEFECTIVE." YET, THERE WAS NO RECALL ISSUED FOR THE VEHICLES AFFECTED BY THIS. FAST FORWARD TWO YEARS, MY CAR HAS OVER 50K MILES, IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY, AND THE SAME SENSOR HAS GONE OFF. NOW, IT IS A 316.00 JOB. THE PART ONLY COSTS 48.99 THROUGH PEP BOYS, SO THE DEALERSHIP (JONES JUNCTION IN BEL AIR, MD) IS ROBBING ME FOR 268.00 IN LABOR ON A SERVICE THAT TAKES ALL OF 15 MINUTES TO TAKE THE WHEEL ON AND OFF. PLEASE INVESTIGATE THIS TRAVESTY OF JUSTICE. I HAVE BEEN ON THE INTERNET AND IT SEEMS THIS...

I WAS MAKING A 800 MILE TRIP IN MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND NOTICED THAT THE THROTTLE WAS STARTING TO STICK WHEN MY CRUISE CONTROL WAS DISENGAGED. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT WAS TO STOMP ON THE GAS PEDAL. I PULLED OVER TO SEE IF THERE WAS SOMETHING STUCK AROUND THE PEDAL OR EVEN THE THROTTLE CABLE BUT COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING. THE THROTTLE ONLY STUCK WHEN THE TAC WAS AT AROUND 2700 TO 3000 RPMS. WHEN I MADE IT TO MY DESTINATION I GOT ON THE INTERNET TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING POSTED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM. TO MY SURPRISE THERE WERE QUITE A FEW AND SOME OF THEM WITHIN THE SAME MILEAGE AND OR CONDITIONS. MOST OF THEM TOOK THERE CAR TO THE DEALER WHO EITHER CHARGED THEM FOR A NEW THROTTLE BODY OR PEDAL ASSEMBLY OR EVEN THE THROTTLE CABLE. I JUST WENT OUT AND LOOKED AT...
