2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Electrical System Problems

Key fob program

ENTERED FREEWAY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND LOST POWER. STARTING EXITING FREEWAY THEN CAR EXCELERATING ON ITS OWN. ENGINE WAS REVING AND HUMMING SO MUCH I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRUAL AND HIT THE BRAKES AS I EXIT THE FREEWAY TO SAFELY PARKED. CALLED TOW TRUCK FOR SERVICE.

AS IT WOULD SEEM IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT HAS FAILED AND LEAKS OIL ON AND INTO THE HARNESS PLUG. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND CAN PRESENT BOTH A COSTLY FIX AND A FIRE HAZARD. WHILE DRIVING THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE'S OIL PRESSURE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE SHOP OT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED AND WAS LEAKING OIL INTO AND ON THE HARNESS PLUG. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR TOMORROW. *TR

GAS CAP LIGHT ALWAYS REMAIN ON. MY RPM GAUGE IS JUMPING AN ALL OF MY INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ON. THESE THINGS HAPPEN UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A ROUGH IDLE AND I HAVE TO PUSH A PINK BUTTON TO SHIFT HERS. THE GEARS WILL NOT SHIFT. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR VEHICLES OF MY BRAND BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WHEN I HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED WITH THE BRAKE PEDAL DEPRESSED, THE SPEEDOMETER DISPLAYED 20 MPH. ALSO, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND LURCHED FORWARD. WHILE BRAKING ON WET PAVEMENT, THE ABS MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE. ALSO, A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS AND THE FUEL CAP INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOM AHL CHRYSLER (672 KINGS AVE, LANMOR, OH) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE GAUGES ON THE VEHICLE MOVED UP AND DOWN INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALSO OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY BY DISPLAYING INACCURATE READINGS. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN). THE MANUFACTURER AND GINN CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (5190 US-278, COVINGTON, GA 30014, 770-679-2202) WERE NOTIFIED AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 134,000. *DT THE CONSUMER STATED THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL SENDER UNIT FAILED. *TP

WHILE GETTING CAR SERVICE MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THE SUBFRAME IS ALL ROTTEN NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR . HE SAID THE MOTOR MAY FALL OUT..

I STARTED THE CAR AND COULD NOT SHIFT, MOVE THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS, RUN RADIO, PUT THE FRONT WINDOWS DOWN....LIGHTS WORK, TRUNK LID RAISED.

I CAN'T COMPLETELY FILL MY FUEL TANK. AT 1/2 TANK IT BOTTOMS OUT TO EMPTY. THE FUEL GAUGE IS COMPLETELY UNRELIABLE.WHEN MAKING A LEFT HAND TURN WHEN THE FUEL IS LOW IT WILL STALL AND SPUTTER. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH THAT THE DEALER I BOUGHT IT FROM CHANGED THE FUEL PUMP RIGHT AFTER I BOUGHT IT BECAUSE I RAN OUT OF FUEL ON A TRIP TO OHIO FROM ILLINOIS BUT IT DIDN'T FIX THE ISSUE. I ONLY DRIVE IT IN TOWN BECAUSE I'M AFRAID OF RUNNING OUT OF FUEL. APPARENTLY THIS IS VERY COMMON WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I FEEL THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. THIS ISSUE COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT, SOMEONE TO BE STRANDED IN EXTREME COLD/HEAT. IT'S UNRELIABLE AND A MAJOR THREAT TO SOMEONE'S SAFETY. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING IN A STORM, THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND POWER WINDOWS FAILED, AND THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURE WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN A RECALL. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 122,000. UPDATED 06/21/17*LJ

I WAS ON FREEWAY DOING 60_70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING AND GAS PEDAL FELT STIFF LIKE WHEN CAR IS OFF. I HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY IN CAR AND I COULD OF WRECKED IF I DIDN'T NOTICE IN TIME TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT SOME HOW BEFORE WE GOT REAR ENDED. I GOT OFF FREEWAY SOMEHOW AND TURNED CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A ONE TIME THING . A FEW MILES LATER IT DID SAME THING AND I WAS STALLED OUT IN MIDDLE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC . CARS BRAKED AND SWERVED OUT OF MY WAY TO AVOID REAR ENDING US . MY CHILDREN WERE SCARED CAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING OUT OF THE BLUE. I NOW HAVE NO DESIRE TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR WITH ANY OF MY FAMILY...

WHILE DRIVING MY CAR I TURNED ON MY TURN SIGNAL TO TURN RIGHT ONTO THE HIGHWAY, AND UPON ACCELERATING MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT BEEPED AND TURNED ON, THEN AS I TURNED MY WHEEL AND TRIED TO ACCELERATE IT WOULDN'T AND THEN MY CAR DIED. I THEN HAD MY CAR TOWED TO MY HOUSE WHERE IT REMAINS UNTIL I HAVE IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. *TR

THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL FROM CHRYSLER. I WAS GIVEN A CLAIM #[XXX] AND WHEN I SPOKE TO CHRYSLER I WAS TOLD THAT OUR VIN # WAS NOT COVERED DUE TO THE FACT THAT THEY THEMSELVES HAD ENDED THE RECALLED VEHICLES 2 WEEKS BEFORE OURS WAS PRODUCED. THAT IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AS OUR VEHICLE SUFFERED THE EXACT SAME PROBLEMS AS THEY ALL DID 2 WEEKS EARLIER!!! INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

RECCALL F44 (FUEL PUMP MODULE). THIS RECALL WAS FOR REPAIR/REPLACE OF MODULE DUE TO FACT THAT PACIFICA CARS STALL WITH FAULTY UNIT. MY CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. I TOOK TO DEALER AS INSTRUCTED BY RECALL LETTER. THE DEALER SAID THEY MADE REPAIR. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL. DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE PART AGAIN. I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

FIRST BEGAN 11/2013 WHEN HEADED OUT AFTER PICKING UP MY DAUGHTER, SLOWED TO ENTER LEFT TURN LANE (ON MAJOR BUSY INTERSECTION AT NIGHT!) AND ENTIRE CAR SIMPLY DIED - FRIED THE BATTERY (IT WAS ONLY A YR OLD & THE SECOND TIME I HAD REPLACED IT SINCE I PURCHASED IT TWO YRS PRIOR FROM ORIGINAL OWNER) NEARLY WAS HIT BY SEVERAL CARS BEFORE TOW TRUCK ARRIVED (SO DEAD COULDN'T EVEN BE SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL!) AFTER MULTIPLE OPINIONS BY SEVERAL MECHANICS HAD TO FACE THE FACT THAT ISSUE W/RODS CAUSED METAL PIECES TO INFILTRATE OIL (ALL OIL CHANGES ON TIME, PREVIOUS BEFORE INCIDENT 6 WEEK PRIOR) CAUSING ALL ENGINE BEARS TO GO. LUCKILY, WAS ABLE TO WORK OUT A FAIRLY DECENT DEAL TO THE TUNE OF $1200, ONLY TO BE FACED W/MULTIPLE ADDITIONAL NEEDED REPAIRS THEREAFTER AND OVER A YEAR LATER, I'M STILL TRYING TO GET TO THE BOTTOM OF WHY...

THE FIRST ISSUE OCCURRED IN MAY WHILE DRIVING MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA UPHILL AT ABOUT 35 MPH. ABOUT HALFWAY UP THE HILL MY CAR STALLED UNEXPECTEDLY AND LOCKED UP. I SLAMMED ON THE BRAKES AND PULLED ON THE STEERING WHEEL (THE AUTOMATIC STEERING WAS OUT) WITH A LOT OF FORCE TO PUT MY BACK RIGHT TIRE ON THE CURB TO STOP SLIDING DOWN THE HILL. THEN I WAS ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, TURN THE CAR OFF, AND RESTART THE CAR. I PULLED INTO THE NEXT AVAILABLE PARKING LOT TO RECOVER AND TRY TO EVALUATE MY CAR FOR WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THE SECOND ISSUE OCCURRED WHILE DRIVING IN A RESIDENTIAL AREA, TRAVELING ABOUT 30 MPH, MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLED WITHOUT ANY NOTICE. EVERYTHING LOCKED UP. THANKFULLY I WAS IN A LOW TRAFFIC AREA AND THE CARS BEHIND ME WERE FOLLOWING AT A SAFE DISTANCE. I WAS...

HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED DUE TO MY IGNITION SWITCH. I AM GLAD THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING WHEN THIS HAPPENED! GETTING THIS CAR REPAIR WILL SET ME BACK IN MY BILLS AND I JUST GOT THIS CAR 2 YEARS AGO! *TR

AS I WAS DRIVING ALL OF A SUDDEN THE DASHBOARD AND HEADLIGHTS STARTED FLICKERING AND THE WARNING ICONS DINGED ON. THIS HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR AND THE MECHANIC CAN NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. *TR

MY CAR FAILED ON US AS WE WERE ON OUR TRIP TOWARDS BROWNSVILLE TEXAS. THE ELECTRICAL IN MY CAR STARTED FLICKERING AND THE MOTOR KEPT ACCELERATING ITSELF.. THEN THE GAS INDICATOR WENT FROM SHOWING HALF TANK FULL TO 10 MILES TO EMPTY.. WE WERE IN THE DESERTED PART OF THE CHECKPOINT RANCH SO WE HAD ABOUT 30 MILES UNTIL A GAS STATION WE THOUGHT WE COULDN'T POSSIBLY JUST RUN OUT OF GAS, BUT AS WE CONTINUED 5 MINUTES LATER OUR CAR ELECTRICAL JUST SOUNDED A SPARK AND OUR CAR STARTING SHUTTING OFF, HARD STEERING TO PULL ON SIDE OF ROAD.. BUT THANK GOD WE HAD NO VEHICLES BEHIND US SO THAT PREVENTED AN ACCIDENT FROM HAPPENING.. WE CALLED FAMILY MEMBER TO GO HELP US HAUL OUR CAR TO A NEAREST GAS STATION OR MECHANIC.. SOMETHING I NEVER WANT TO EXPERIENCE WITH MY CHILDREN 3 AND 1 IN MY CAR AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 25 MPH, A CHIME SOUNDED AS THE ABS AND THE BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND ALL OF THE WARNING AND EXTERIOR LIGHTS ILLUMINATED INTERMITTENTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 40,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH THE ABS LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY A CHIME THAT SOUNDED THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE. ADDITIONALLY, THERE WAS A BRIEF STALL FOLLOWED BY THE VEHICLE LOOSING ELECTRICAL POWER. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED FOUR TIMES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,903 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 75,139.

CAR WAS PARKED/ SPONTANIOUS FIRE/ INSIDE TOTALLED. *TR

SPORADICALLY THE ABS & BRAKE WARNING LIGHTS COME ON THE DASHBOARD LIGHTS COME ON AND THE RADIO CUTS OUT. THE MAIN ISSUE IS THAT WHEN ALL OF THIS HAPPENS THE HEADLIGHTS ALSO FLICKER AND GO OUT. WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DISTRACTING TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. ONCE I WAS DRIVING AT NIGHT AND MY HEADLIGHTS COMPLETELY WENT OUT FOR A FEW SECONDS. THE DEALER CAN'T FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND THERE IS NO SPECIFIC REASON THAT CAUSES IT TO HAPPEN. *TR

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, THEN THE GASCAP LIGHT CAME ON. WAS TIME FOR INSPECTION AND NATURALLY IT FAILED. IMMEDIATELY TOOK IT TO REPAIR SHOP, THEY CHECKED IT OVER AND JUST REPLACED THE GASCAP. ALL LIGHTS WERE OFF SO TOOK IT BACK FOR INSPECTION. IT PASSED AMAZINGLY. LATER THAT DAY, THE GASCAP LIGHT CAME BACK ON. DROVE A NUMBER OF MONTHS WITH LIGHT ON KNOWING IT WAS A NEW GASCAP AND IT NEEDED A SMOKE TEST TO FIND THE LEAK. HAD ALTERNATOR REPLACED AND ALSO A NEW RIGHT SIDE FUEL PUMP WITH THE FUEL HOSE FROM VENT ON PRIMARY TO FUEL PUMP VENT NIPPLE ON OTHER SIDE. THEY WERE AMAZED THAT I HADN'T SMELLED FUEL LEAKING. ALSO AMAZED THERE WAS NO FIRE. THIS IS A SERIOUS FAULT AND NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER AFTER READING ALL THE OTHER SAME PROBLEMS. PLEASE CHRYSLER, DO THE RIGHT THING!! *TR

WHILE IN REVERSE IN PARKING LOT, CAR STALLED CAUSING LOSS OF BRAKING POWER AND VEHICLE ROLLED INTO ANOTHER PARKED VEHICLE. SINCE INCIDENT, WHEN VEHICLE IS PLACED INTO REVERSE, VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLS. ALSO, MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE BROKEN AND THIS APPEARS TO BE A BIG ISSUE WITH THE PACIFICAS. *TR

OBTAINED CAR BRAND NEW IN 2006, YR LATER HAD TO REPLACE ENGINE, WAS SAID THEY GAVE US A NEW ONE, PRIOR TO THAT WE HAD SUNROOF ISSUE THAT STILL PERSIST TO THIS DAY 6YEARS LATER... ELECTRICAL OFF. ONE MINUTE YOU HAVE GAS AND NEXT MINUTE LITERALLY FUEL LIGHT IS ON..FAST FORWARD A TAD 2007 STALLING PROBLEMS,...FAST FORWARD EVEN MORE 30,000MILES LATER.... STALLING ALLLLLLLLOT,ESPECIALLY WHILE I'M DRIVING WITH MY KIDS. MAKING A U-TURN AND JUST SIMPLY PARKING INTO A SPACE NO GO.. GAS CAP LIGHT IS ON, CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON.... CURRENTLY VEHICLE IS AT DEALERSHIP WHICH WAS CHARGING US $2,632.00 TO FIX PROBLEMS, BESIDES OVERCHARGING RIDICULOUSLY, CHRYSLER OFFERED TO PAY MOST OF BILL AFTER DOING RESEARCH AND REALIZING WE WERE GETTING RIPPED OFF, A TWO DAY JOB IS NOW TURNED INTO 1WEEK, NO VEHICLE, NO LOANER.. 6YRS. LATER FAILED EMISSIONS TEST IS WHAT PROMPTED ME TO TAKE IT TO A...

DRIVING 65MPH, WAS ON A BRIDGE. INSIDE OF CAR WENT TOTALLY BLACK. HAD TO COAST IT TO RAILING OF BRIDGE AS THERE WAS NO SHOULDER. CAR COMPLETELY STOPPED ON ITS OWN. SAW SMOKE, WAITED FOR CLEARING IN PASSING TRAFFIC. FIRE ERUPTED ON DRIVER'S SIDE UNDER HOOD. LOCAL FIRE DEPARTMENT SAID IT WAS THE COMPUTER AND BATTERY. HAD I NOT JUMPED OUT I WOULD HAVE BEEN DEAD. FIRED MELTED HOOD TO GRILL AND HAD TO AXED OPEN TO COMPLETELY EXTINGUISH FIRE. THERE WAS NO PREVIOUS INDICATION OF ELECTRICAL SHORTAGE. *TR

I FIRST NOTICED MY HEADLIGHTS FLICKERING AND MY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON SO I TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY CLAIMED TO HAVE DONE MANY TESTS AND FOUND NOTHING WRONG, I THEN CONTINUED USING MY PACIFICA BUT ONLY TO HAVE THE PROBLEM NOT ONLY CONTINUE BUT ALSO TO GET WORSE MY BRAKE LIGHT AND ABS LIGHTS ON MY DASH STARTED TO FLICKER ON AND OFF AND THEN THERE WAS CHIME INDICATING THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND I ALSO HEARD A LOUD POPPING NOISE COMING THROUGH MY STEREO BUT THE WEIRD THING IS MY STEREO WAS OFF. I SINCE TOOK MY PACIFICA TO ANOTHER CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND LEFT IT WITH THEM AND AGAIN THEY CLAIM THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WHICH AGAIN COSTED ME MORE MONEY FOR NOTHING. I AGAIN TOOK MY PACIFICA AND USED IT WHEN THE PROBLEM CONTINUED WITHALL THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT THIS TIME MY...

THE CONTACT CHANGED THE BATTERY AND ALTERNATOR BUT NONE OF THE REPAIRS REMEDIED THE PROBLEM. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 69,000.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILURE. . WE ARE EXPERIENCING PERIODIC FLICKERING OF ANY ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT THAT WAS ON (DASHBOARD LIGHTS, DOME LIGHTS, HEADLIGHTS, RADIO, HVAC) AND THE INTERMITTENT ABS AND BRAKE ALARMS THAT MAY FOLLOW. WE ALSO HEAR A LOUD CLICK IN THE RADIO SPEAKERS. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER. THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE BECAUSE THEY CANT VERIFY THE PROBLEM AND IT DOESN'T LEAVE ANY COMPUTER CODES BEHIND. I KNOW WE'RE NOT THE ONLY ONES WITH THIS ISSUE. THERE ARE BLOGS ALL OVER THE WEBSITE ABOUT THIS CHRYSLER ISSUE. *TR

APPROXIMATELY AROUND OCTOBER 2010, MY BRAKE LIGHT STARTED TO BLINK ON AND OFF. SHORTLY AFTER THAT, THE ABS LIGHT STARTED TO DO THE SAME THING. WHEN THEY WOULD FLASH, THEY WOULD ALSO "DING" AND IT WOULD SHUT OFF THE RADIO UNTIL IT WAS FINISHED FLASHING AND DINGING. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO NUMEROUS SHOPS AND HAS SEVERAL DIAGNOSTICS DONE, AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD SO MANY THINGS. BY THE TIME I GO TO GET SOMETHING REPAIRED, I'M INFORMED THAT NOTHING IS WRONG WITH THE PARTS THAT I HAVE BEEN INFORMED TO REPLACE. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY ALTERNATOR OVER CHARGES, THE CHIP IN MY KEY IS MISSED UP, MY POWERTRAIN CONTRAIN MODULE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED, MY MOTOR MOUNTS ARE LOOSE (WHICH I'VE ALREADY REPLACED), MY BATTERY WAS BAD (WHICH HAS ALSO BEEN REPLACED), AND I ALSO NEED TO...

CAR HAS STALLED (ENGINE CUTS OUT COMPLETELY) WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT LEAST 4 TIME. MOST RECENT WAS WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY IT JUST STOPPED, NEARLY CAUSING FATAL ACCIDENT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF CAR CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK WITH NO MEANS OF GETTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. YOU'RE A SITTING DUCK FOR A CRASH. FORTUNATELY, SHE GOT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR IS AT STEVENS CREEK CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (TOWED THERE TODAY). I AM ALSO IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION REGARDING THIS FLAW AND REPARATIONS THAT ARE DUE ME FROM THIS LEMON. THE DEALERSHIPS NUMBER IS 408 248-1800. THEY ARE AWARE I AM PURSUING MY OPTIONS WITH THIS DANGEROUS CAR AND I REALLY DON'T WANT IT BACK EVEN IF THEY TELL ME THEY'VE FIXED IT. I DON'T TRUST THIS PROBLEM AS IT'S RAMPANT...

I WAS TURNING LEFT AT ABOUT 10 MILES PER HOUR AND THE ENGINE OF THE CAR TURNED OFF.

BURNS OIL, BRAKES FLUTTER , CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON NO ONE CAN FIGURE OUT WHY OR HOW TO TURN IT OFF I LIVE IN CALIFORNIA SO LIGHT ON GIVES ME AN AUTOMATIC FAIL ON MY SMOG TEST ALL OF THIS IS ONGOING AND HAS BEEN FOR OVER A YEAR. *TR

I DRIVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING. I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH THE ABS LIGHT COMING ON AND OFF. IT DOES NOT MAKE A DIFFERENCE THE SPEED I AM TRAVELING AND WHEN I COME TO A STOP IT BEGINS TO VIBRATE AND I REARENDED THE PEOPLE INFRONT OF ME. I HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WITH MY CAR STALLING FOR NO APPARENT REASON. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THERE IS NOT A RECALL ON THIS PARTICULAR UNIT. I HAVE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND ALSO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID NO PROBLEMS HAVE EVER BEEN DOCUMENTED...THEY NEED TO START CHECKING THIS SITE AND SEE THAT ALL OF THE PROBLEMS ARE THE SAME. *CW

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE DISPLAY ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WOULD SPORADICALLY FAIL. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WOULD STALL WITHOUT WARNING.

FAILS TO START. *JB

AFTER I HAVE BEEN DRIVING FINE FOR A WHILE, I WILL TURN (INTO A PARKING LOT ETC.) AND NEED TO TURN AGAIN AND THE CAR WILL DIE. *JB

TWICE, IN 6 DAYS, THE PACIFICA HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. THE FIRST TIME MY WIFE WAS DRIVING 25-30 MPH AND WAS TURNING ON THE RADIO, AND THE SECOND TIME I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH AND TURNING ON THE HEAT. BOTH TIMES THE ENGINE COMPLETED CUT OFF AND LEFT US WITH NO POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MY FAMILY. THE DEALER HAD THE CAR AND STATED THERE WAS NO FOUND PROBLEM. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED THE DEALER TOOK THE CAR AND AGAIN CLAIMS THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE CAR. THEY STILL HAVE THE CAR AND NO SOLUTION. *NM

VEHICLE STALLED IN TRAFFIC, WOULD NOT RE-START. VEHICLE WAS PUSHED INTO A PARKING LOT. VEHICLE STARTED 1 HOUR LATER AND DRIVEN HOME. VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO DEALER - DID NOT WANT TO TAKE A CHANCE STALLING IN TRAFFIC AGAIN. DEALER FOUND A FAULT CODE AND REPAIRED(?) SECURITY SYSTEM. *NM
