2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Fuel System Gasoline Problems

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle turned off independently but was able to be restarted. Additionally, the vehicle was difficult to start. The vehicle was taken to an independent shop, where the PCM was reprogrammed and an unknown fuel injector repair was performed; however, the failure recurred. The contact stated that while at a complete stop, the vehicle shut off independently but was able to be restarted. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The contact stated that upon taking the vehicle to the dealer for the recall repair of NHTSA Campaign Number: 06V432000 (Power Train), the dealer informed the contact that the equipment and parts to do the recall repair were not available after the vehicle had remained at the dealer for two days. The contact stated that several other dealers were contacted and provided the same...

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.

DRIVING HOME FROM WORK A GOOD SAMARITAN PULLED ME OVER AND ADVISED ME THE GAS WAS POURING OUT OF MY CAR, CALLED FIRE DEPARTMENT AND THEY PLUGGED LEAK AND I HAD IT TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. THEY ADVISED ME THERE WAS QUESTIONABLE DAMAGE TO THE TANK AND IT DIDN'T LOOK LIKE ANYTHING WAS RUN OVER OR HIT BUT CORNER OF GAS TANK WAS SEVERELY DAMAGED, LOST 3/4 TANK OF GAS ON ROAD. THE DEALERSHIP LOOKED OVER MY VEHICLE, I CALLED INSURANCE COMPANY TO REPORT INCIDENT. THEY DETERMINED THAT THE GAS TANK WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED AS WELL AS THE FUEL NECK FILLER VALVE AND BOTH FUEL PUMPS. I HAD ALL THE SUGGESTED WORK DONE AND TWO WEEKS AFTER HAVING MY CAR BACK I WOULD NOTICE THE TANK GO FROM 1/2 TANK TO EMPTY QUICKLY, NO LEAKING GAS SO I WOULD TRY TO PUT IN GAS AND ONLY ABLE TO PUT...

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

I FILLED UP THE TANK WITH GAS AND WAS ON A LONG ROAD TRIP. I HAD RESET THE TRIP AT THE TIME OF FILL UP AND I HAD TRACKED THE HIGHWAY MILEAGE USING A LITTLE LESS THAN 1/2 TANK THEN REFILLED IT THEN TOOK HOW MANY MILES I HAD GONE DIVIDED IT BY HOW MANY GALLONS OF GAS IT TOOK TO FILL IT BACK UP. I WAS GETTING 21 MILES PER GALLON. WHEN THE GAS GAUGE REACHED 1/2 TANK, IT DROPPED STRAIGHT TO EMPTY. I HAD ONLY GONE ROUGHLY 200 MILES AND FIGURED AT 21 MILES PER GALLON I SHOULD EASILY GET 350 TO 400 MILES BEFORE NEEDING GAS SO I CARRIED ON. AFTER I HAD TRAVELED 220 MILES ON A FULL TANK, (20 GALLONS) THE MOTOR JUST SHUT ITSELF OFF. I PULLED OVER AND CALLED FOR HELP. THEY BROUGHT 2 GALLONS OF GAS AND PUT IT IN AND IT...

WE HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN 2008. THE CAR STALLS WHEN TURNING LIKE THE 2004-2005 MODELS THAT HAD A RECALL F44. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AT 800 992 1997AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR DURING THE INITIAL RECALL. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TOLD US TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT IS COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN WE LEARNED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS CORRODING ANOTHER RECALL X26. THE DEALER TOLD US IT WOULD COST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR. ADDITIONALLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE NEED TWO NEW FUEL PUMPS AND THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE F44 RECALL BECAUSE OUR 2006 CAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE 2004 - 2005 MODEL YEAR RECALL TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMPS. WE PAID THE...

I HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED IN 2012; THE NEXT MONTH THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. TEN MONTHS LATER, THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS INSIGNIFICANT, THAT THE BRAKES ARE FINE. IN THE FALL OF 2013, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP BECAUSE IT TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES. I SPENT OVER $800.00 HAVING A BUNCH OF CODES CLEARED WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER THINGS. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF FOR A FEW DAYS BUT CAME BACK ON. THERE WAS AN ERROR THAT READ GAS CAP. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. IN MARCH 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CALIBERS BUT LATER WAS TOLD THAT I DIDN'T. I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TO CHECK AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED NEW...

TOTAL REPAIRS $2,718.74, STILL HAS SAME PROBLEM. PROBLEM WHEN VEHICLE STALLS, LOSS OF POWER UNEXPECTEDLY, LOSS OF CONTROL DUE TO SHUTDOWN CAUSES CONCERN, ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN, EXPENSES BEYOND EXPECTATIONS FOR GENERAL MAINTENANCE OF VEHICLE. NO HELP FROM CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. SAYS MILEAGE TOO HIGH, NO WARRANTY FOR DEFECT, BEYOND DEALERSHIP SCOPE OF CONCERN FOR CUSTOMER. *TR

I CALLED CHRYSLER, CONCERNING THE F44 RECALL. WOULD YOU BELIEVE MY CAR MISSED THE RECALL PERIOD BY FOUR DAYS. THE RECALL COVERED AUTOS BUILT UNTIL LATE NOV 2006 MY CAR WAS BUILT DEC 2006. BUT THE NOTICE DID NOT GO OUT UNTIL LATE PART NOV 2006. A DECENT COMPANY WOULD HAVE ENDED THE RECALL AS DEC 2006. I GUARANTEE SOME PART OF THE DEC 2006 AUTO WAS ALREADY IN ASSEMBLY, BEFORE THE NOV 2006 RECALL DATE, THIS IS SO WRONG. ON THAT SAME RECALL BULLETIN MY VIN WAS INCLUDED , BUT AS I CONTINUE TO READ THE RECALL BULLETIN , IT STATED THAT ALL VEHICLES ARE NOT COVERED WITHIN THIS VIN SERIES. CHRYSLER CORP IS A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY, I AM JUST ONE SMALL CONSUMER, AND I NEED YOUR HELP WITH THIS REPAIR. *JB

THROTTLE HAS BEEN STICKING FOR SEVEN YEARS. THE DEALER HAS SPRAYED THE THROTTLE BODY SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THE DEALER FIX IS ONLY TEMPORARY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL SPILLED OUT FROM THE FILLER NECK WHILE REFUELING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE FUEL TANK WAS EQUIPPED TO HOLD TWENTY GALLONS, BUT WOULD ONLY ACCEPT TEN GALLONS. AS A RESULT, THE VEHICLE RAN OUT OF FUEL AND STALLED SEVERAL TIMES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE ONLY WAY TO REMEDY THE FAILURE WAS TO REPLACE THE FUEL TANK. THE DEALER ALSO ADMITTED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT EQUIPPED WITH THE PROPER FUEL TANK. THE VIN WAS NOT UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 65,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 70,000.

IVE HAD THIS CAR FOR JUST OVER ONE YEAR. I HAVE REPLACED 2 MOTOR MOUNTS, 6 MONTHS APART. THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN MOTOR BEARING WENT BAD AND YOU CANT REPLACE JUST THE MOTOR, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH MOTORS, BOTH FANS AND THE SHROUD ( RIDICULOUS ). MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SAYS FUEL CAP ON DASH BUT I REPLACED THE CAP AND NOW AS I'M LOOKING ON THIS SITE I KNOW ITS PROBABLY THE GAS TANK LINES CRACKED. IVE ALSO GOT THE STICKY GAS PEDAL, TRANSMISSION BANGS INTO 2ND RANDOMLY. MY CONCLUSION AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE RECALLS. I MEAN JESUS WERE TALKING ABOUT FIRE HAZARDS AND A STICKING ACCELERATOR POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AT SUCH LOW MILES. NEVER AGAIN CHRYSLER. *TR

ABOUT 5 MONTHS AGO MY CAR WOULD NOT STOP COMPLETELY WHEN BRAKING. I WOULD LET OFF BRAKES AND REAPPLY & IT STILL DID NOT STOP PROMPTLY. ABS LIGHT CAME ON & ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER REPAIR CENTER IN DELRAY BEACH FLORIDA. THEY SAID MY NVL PUMP & ABS SENSOR NEEDED REPLACED. THEY ALSO SAID IF I DO NOT REPLACE THE NVL PUMP MY CAR WILL BEGIN TO STALL. THE CAR BEGAN STALLING ABOUT 3-4 WEEKS LATER. IT HAPPENED ABOUT 4-6 TIMES AT LOW SPEEDS OR WHEN THE CAR WAS AT IDOL. I HAD THE PUMP REPLACED BY ANOTHER MECHANIC A FEW WEEKS LATER. THE CAR KEPT STALLING AFTER THE PART WAS REPLACED. THEN THE CAR STARTED COMPLETELY LOCK UP & TURN OFF RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING. I HAVE NO POWER, NO STEERING...NOTHING. I CAN'T BELIEVE I HAVEN'T BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT YET! I...

THIS LAST FRIDAY, THE 11/18/11, WAS THE LAST INCIDENT WHERE IT FINALLY STALLS COMPLETELY AND I HAVE TO MOVE OUT OF TRAFFIC. FOR OVER A MONTH NOW, THE GAS GAUGE HAS DROPPED TO ZERO (WHEN I KNOW I HAVE GAS IN THERE) SO I HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH THAT ON THE SIDE, THE ELECTRICAL TRIP MILEAGE GAUGE SAYS GAS CAP, CHECKED IT, KIND OF JITTERY, WHERE IT WOULD JERK AND NOT ACCELERATE ON THE ROAD, UNTIL THIS LAST FRIDAY WHEN I TURNED A CORNER, AND IT JUST STALLED. STARTED IT UP, AND WENT DOWN THE ROAD AND AS SOON AS I ACCELERATED IN ONCOMING TRAFFIC, IT STALLED AGAIN, PULLED OFF THE ROAD TOWARDS ONCOMING TRAFFIC AND SAT FOR A MOMENT, GENTLEMAN STOPPED TO HELP ME, AND SAID IT MIGHT BE OVERHEATING, TO TURN MY HEATER ON AND LEAVE IT RUNNING SINCE I STILL HAD SEVERAL MILES TO GO TO...

ON APRIL 13, 2011, WHILE DRIVING VEHICLE AT APPROXIMATELY 10 MPH AND WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN, VEHICLE SUDDENLY STOPPED ABRUPTLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE STALL. ALL ELECTRICAL POWER WAS LOST, ALONG WITH ENGINE STALLING. RESTARTED VEHICLE AND PROCEEDED TO DRIVE AGAIN WHEN IT THEN SUDDENLY STARTED TO DRIVE ROUGH FOR APPROXIMATELY A COUPLE OF SECONDS, AS IF IT AGAIN WANTED TO STALL, BUT DIDN'T. AFTER THIS, THE VEHICLE DROVE NORMAL. TOOK VEHICLE TO PEPBOYS ON THE SAME DAY AND THEY DIAGNOSED A 420 AND A 700 FAULT CODE. ON THURSDAY APRIL 14, 2011 TOOK VEHICLE TO ALLIANCE CHRYSLER DEALER IN FT.

THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON FOR THE EVAP SYSTEM. HAD IT CHECKED OUT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY FOUND A BROKEN HOSE FITTING IN THE TOP OF THE FUEL TANK IN THE FUEL PUMP CONTROL MODULE. *TR

GAS PEDAL STICKS/JAMS. HAVE TO STOMP ON GAS PEDAL TO UNSTICK WHICH CAUSES THE CAR TO SPEED FORWARD OR BACKWARD. *TR

THROTTLE STICKS OR WILL NOT MOVE FOR FIRST 1/4" OF TRAVEL. WHEN THE PEDAL FINALLY BECOMES UNSTUCK, THIS CAUSES RAPID ACCELERATION IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. *TR

ONGOING ISSUE WITH GAS PEDAL STICKS INTERMITTENTLY AT IDLE. HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL VERY HARD TO UNSTICK CAUSING VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD OR BACKWARD RAPIDLY. *TR

ONGOING ISSUE WITH GAS PEDAL STICKS INTERMITTENTLY AT IDLE SINCE NOVEMBER 2009. HAVE TO PRESS GAS PEDAL VERY HARD TO UNSTICK CAUSING VEHICLE TO JUMP FORWARD OR BACKWARD RAPIDLY. *TR

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT EMITS A STRONG NATURAL GAS SMELL. THE PROBLEM STARTED 3 DAYS AGO (2/20/10). I WENT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TODAY TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THEY CONFIRMED THE SMELL OF NATURAL GAS, BUT COULD NOT OFFER A SOLUTION TO THE PROBLEM. THEY DROVE THE CAR AND UPON BRAKING AND ACCELERATION THE FUMES WERE EMITTED. THE CHRYSLER MECHANICS SAID THAT 'THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING MECHANICAL THAT WOULD CAUSE THE SMELL.' MY LUNGS HURT AND MY NERVES ARE REALLY GETTING BAD! JUST BY DRIVING AROUND TRYING TO FIND SOMEONE WHO CAN FIX IT! I DRIVE WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN AND I'M STILL AFFECTED BY THE FUMES. WE JUST HAD A SNOW STORM AND I'M FREEZING IN MY CAR, TRYING TO BREATHE! I LIVE IN DETROIT, WE ARE THE HARDEST HIT BY THIS RECESSION AND I NEED A CAR TO KEEP MY JOB! I HAVE TO...

ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, HAD VEHICLE CHECKED AND IT TURNED OUT TO BE AN EVAP LEAK. BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP FIRST, THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, MECHANIC PULLED THE GAS TANK AND FOUND THE FUEL PUMP LINE HAD CRACKED, EVIDENTLY THE GAS TANK IS PLASTIC AND SUNK IN AT THE TOP CAUSING THE PLASTIC LINE ON THE PUMP TO CRACK. THIS IS POTENTIALLY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION WE HAD TO ADD SOME EXTRA LINE TO FUEL LINE JUST TO PUT THE TANK BACK UP AND KEEP FROM BRAKING THE NEW FUEL PUMP. *TR

NO INJURY, DEATH OR COLLISION. 2006 PACIFICA ENGINE STALLED WHEN MAKING A DOWNHILL LEFT. JUST PURCHASED 2 WEEKS AGO WITH 13,000 MI. *NM
