2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Power Train Problems

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY, THROUGH A VERY DANGEROUS CURVE (S-CURVE), IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC, MY VEHICLE JUST SHUT OFF. AFTER SAFELY PULLING OVER (DIFFICULTLY) AND STOPPING I LET IT SIT WHILE CALLING MY HUSBAND. THEN THE VEHICLE STARTED BACK UP NO PROBLEM AFTER ABOUT 5 MINUTES, FROM THAT POINT FORWARD THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY STAY RUNNING FOR 5-7 MINUTES, THEN WHILE TRYING TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY STAY RUNNING FOR 3-5 SECONDS AND NOW SOMETIMES WON'T EVEN START AT ALL. AFTER FINALLY TOWING TO A DEALERSHIP BELIEVING IT WAS THE SKIM MODULE WE WERE TOLD THAT IT IS THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE THAT IS BAD AND WOULD NEED TO BE REPLACED. IN RESEARCHING THIS PROBLEM I FIND THAT THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL ON THE SAME VEHICLE AND YEAR FOR THESE SAME EXACT TYPE ISSUES, BUT HAVE BEEN TOLD NOW BY 2...

I TOOK MY 2006 PACIFICA IN TO A DEALER ON 7/18/2014 TO HAVE A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END INSPECTED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TIE ROD BUSHINGS HAD FAILED FOR A SECOND TIME IN ABOUT A YEAR. THEN HE TOLD ME THAT PART OF THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTING AND CRACKING TO THE POINT THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COULD FALL OUT. I FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR 2004 AND 2005 PACIFICAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT WOULD NOT COVER IT FOR ANY OTHER YEARS. THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAD A PROBLEM COUPLED WITH THE NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T COVER THIS FAILURE ON ALL MODEL YEARS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHRYSLER THAT I WILL EVER BUY. *TR

WENT IN FOR REGULAR YEARLY INSPECTION TO FIND OUT THAT MY MOTOR MOUNT WAS ALMOST DETATCHED FROM MY VEHICLE .THE POWERTRAIN WAS RUSTED .SO I HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNT THE POWERTRAIN STILL NEEDS REPLACED.IN THE 6 YEARS THAT I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE I HAVE NEVER BEEN NOTIFYED OF A POWERTRAIN RECALL.AT THIS POINT I'M VERY UPSET TO FIND OUT THAT THIS WAS NEVER BROUGHT TO MY ATTENTION.HOWEVER THIS COULD HAVE PUT MY FAMILY AT RISK .I HOPE AND PRAY THAT THIS CAN BE REPLACED AS IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN SINCE THE RECAL.L PLEASE NOTIFY YOUR CUSTOMER BEFORE SOMETHING TRAGIC OCCURS. *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...

I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFIC. WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH THE ABS LIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY A CHIME NOISE THAT SOUNDED THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE.THEN A TICKING NOISE PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE LOOSING ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY!

CAN NOT GET A MECHANIC TO FIX IT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE RECALL AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. PROBLEM #2 IS THE MOUNTS THAT HOLD THE MOTOR ARE CORRODED AND RUSTED. I WAS TOLD...

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...

I WAS IN THE BANK DRIVE THRU WITH MY CAR IN PARK. I WENT TO PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE AND IT WOULDN'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I CALLED AAA AND WHEN THE TOW TRUCK MAN ARRIVED AND I TOLD HIM WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS, HE TOLD ME HE KNEW EXACTLY WHAT HAD HAPPENED...THE RED CLIP INSIDE THE GEARSHIFT BOX HAD BROKEN. HE SAID IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME TO PACIFICAS AND 3000S AND IT'S A FACTORY RECALL ISSUE. HE WAS ABLE TO GET IT INTO GEAR FOR ME SO I COULD DRIVE HOME, BUT IT IS BROKEN AND WON'T SHIFT OUT OF PARK (WITHOUT TRYING HIS TEMPORARY "FIX"). I CAME HOME AND WENT ONLINE TO SEARCH THE RECALL (BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER EVER GETTING A RECALL LETTER) AND I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING. BASED ON WHAT THIS DRIVER TOLD ME, THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH CERTAIN CHRYSLER CARS (INCLUDING...

I HAD MY CAR IN PARK, WAITING IN LINE AT A DRIVE THRU. WHEN I TRIED TO PUT IT IN DRIVE, IT WOULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. I CALLED AAA AND THE TOW TRUCK OPERATOR CAME. UPON HEARING THE ISSUE, HE IMMEDIATELY TOLD ME HE KNEW WHAT IT WAS BECAUSE "HE DEALS WITH THIS ALL THE TIME WITH 3000'S AND PACIFICAS...AND IT'S A RECALL ISSUE). HE LIFTED THE TRIM AROUND THE GEAR BOX AND SHOWED ME THAT THE "RED CLIP" HAD BROKEN. I HAVE NOT SEEN A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE, BUT I NEED TO KNOW IF CHRYSLER IS HONORING THIS DEFECT, WHICH I'VE BEEN TOLD IS A HUGE PROBLEM WITH DIFFERENT CHRYSLER VEHICLES. *TR

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. FIRST ISSUE WAS THE CV BOOTS THAT HAD COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED. THIS OCCURRED 62,123 MILES. NEXT ISSUE THAT IS STILL OCCURRING TODAY AND DEEPLY CONCERNS ME IS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS FROM TIME TO TIME. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSES THAT TO HAPPEN BUT IT SCARES THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUT OF ME ON A WEEKLY BASIS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PANEL READ GASCAP. WELL WE BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. SINCE THEN WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN, MORE MONEY OUT OF OUR POCKET SO UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT HAD THE REPAIR DONE SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT. NEXT AND BIGGEST ISSUE OFF ALL IS THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN OUR STREET I...

VEHICLE GEAR SHIFT STUCK IN PARK EVEN THOUGH BRAKE IS DEPRESSED. TRIED ROCKING THE VEHICLE BACK AND FORTH TO SEE IF IT WAS STUCK IN GEAR, NO CHANGE. I CONDUCTED AN INTERNET SEARCH FOR THIS PROBLEM AND FOUND THAT SEVERAL CHRYSLER AND DODGE PRODUCTS HAVE THIS EXACT SAME PROBLEM. CAUSE: A SMALL PINK PIECE OF PLASTIC THAT HAS A SPRING ATTACHED TO IT, WHICH IS A GEAR LOCKING MECHANISM, TENDS TO BREAK AT ABOUT 40-60 THOUSAND MILES OR SOONER. THERE ARE NO CHRYSLER RECALLS FOR THIS ITEM. THE PIECE SEEMS TO COST ABOUT $2.00 FOR CHRYSLER TO MAKE HOWEVER, ONE WILL PAY $300-$400 OR MORE FOR THE DEALER TO FIX. TAKES MINUTES TO REPLACE IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE DOING. ONE CAN FIND THE PART ONLINE AND REPLACE WITH METAL SO THAT IT WILL NOT BREAK AGAIN FOR ABOUT $50. CHRYSLER COMPLAINT LINE STATES THAT THEY WILL NOT FIX...

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...

WHILE DRIVING MY PACIFICA AT 60 MPH THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JERKED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE ENGINE WAS REVVING HIGH SO I SLOWED DOWN AND IT WAS TACKING AT 6000 RPM WHILE ONLY GOING 40 MPH. I STOPPED AND TURNED THE ENGINE OFF. WHEN I RESTARTED IT SHIFTED NORMALLY. A FEW DAYS LATER IT DID IT AGAIN. THEN IT DID IT TWICE IN ONE DAY. I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE WAS INTERNAL DAMAGE AND THEY WANTED $1000 JUST TO DROP THE TRANSMISSION BEFORE THEY FIXED ANYTHING.THIS OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE HAD 80000 MILES ON IT. WHEN IT ONLY HAD 36000 MILES THE ENGINE THREW A ROD AND I HAD TO SPEND $3000 FOR A NEW ENGINE. I'VE SINCE LEARNED THAT PACIFICA'S BURN A QUART OF OIL ABOUT EVERY 1000 MILES. I WOULD HAVE CHECKED THE OIL MORE OFTEN HAD I KNOWN THIS....

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. WORTH, TX. I EXPLAINED WHAT HAD HAPPENED AND MENTIONED THAT MY VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME SYMPTOMS DESCRIBED IN THE PCM/FUEL PUMP RECALL ISSUED AGAINST 2006 PACIFICAS. I ALSO MENTIONED THAT THIS RECALL DID NOT COVER MY VEHICLE WHICH THEY CONFIRMED. HOWEVER, I RAISED CONCERNS ON WHETHER THE RECALL...

ALL MOTOR MOUNTS ON OUR CHRYSLER PACIFICA BROKEN AFTER ONLY 60000 MILES!!! THIS CONDITION COULD CAUSE AN UNKNOWING MOTORIST AN ACCIDENT. VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. ALSO SAME VEHICLE HAD BROKEN GEAR SHIFT STRANDING MY FAMILY FOR HOURS AND COULD NOT BE REPAIRED WITHOUT CHANGING THE UNIT. POORLY DESIGNED AND A CONSTANT DRAIN ON OUR FINANCES. GOVERNMENT OWNED??? *TR

DRIVING MY CAR, NO NOTICEABLE PROBLEMS. I PULLED INTO MY DRIVEWAY AND I SAW A LOT OF FLUID ON THE DRIVEWAY. I WAS EXTREMELY CONCERNED, CHECKED ALL MY FLUIDS WHICH WERE OK. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND A PROBLEM. I THEN STARTED NOTICING THE CAR RIDING "ROUGH" AND IDLING ROUGH ALONG WITH A 'BANGING" WHEN STARTING OR STOPPING AT REDLIGHTS. TOOK THE CAR TO THE LOCAL MECHANIC WHO WAS NOT TOLD ANYTHING ABOUT THESE ISSUES (THERE FOR UNRELATED ITEM) AND WAS INFORMED I HAVE A BAD MOTOR MOUNT. HE ASKED IF I NOTICED 3 SPECIFIC ITEMS.. UH.. YAH... ALL THE THINGS I TOLD THE DEALER! WAITING FOR HIM TO CHECK OVER THE ENTIRE CAR RIGHT NOW TO SEE IF ANYTHING ELSE IS WRONG. (PROBLEM WITH THE HEAT AND I THINK WITH MY SUSPENSION). ALSO, THE HEAT WILL NOT STOP BLOWING ON THE WINDSHIELD (DEFROST) BARELY...

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. EVERYDAY IT STALLS ON MY WIFE AND KIDS. IT SOUNDS LIKE THE RECALL THEY THEY HAVE ON THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND POWER TRAIN MODULE. I CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION ON THE ISSUE AND THEY SAID THAT THE VEHICLE 'S VIN NUMBER WAS NOT ONTHE RECALL LIST. I TOLD THEM HOW CAN THEY CONTROL WHICH VEHICLE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND POWER TRAIN MODULE IS BAD. I TOLD THEM IS GOING TO CAUSE A DEADLY CRASH ONE DAY. ALL THEY DO IS GIVE ME THE RUN AROUND.WHAT CAN I DO? THANKS FOR QUICK RESPONSE. *TR

ONE ROCKER ARM (LIFTER) WENT OUT IN JULY 09. WE REPLACED THE FAULTY ROCKER ARM. JUST TWO WEEKS AGO, ALL ROCKER ARMS WENT OUT, INCLUDING THE ONE THAT WAS RECENTLY REPLACED. THIS HAS CAUSED MY 06 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO NOT TURN OVER AND NOT START. BOTH THE BATTERY AND STARTER HAVE BEEN TESTED AND ARE FINE. ALL ROCKER ARMS ARE NOW BEING REPLACED AT A COST OF OVER $1000 WITH ONLY 43K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. WHEN WE ASKED THE DEALERSHIP WHY THE BRAND NEW ROCKER ARM (LIFTER) HAD FAILED, THEY SAID IT WAS BECAUSE THE ENTIRE MECHANISM WITH THE ROCKER ARMS HAS A FAULTY DESIGN. *TR

AT 40,000 MILES CAR STARTED MAKING TICKING NOISE. TOOK IT TO MY PERSONAL MECHANIC AND HE DETERMINED THE LIFTERS NEEDED CHANGING. REPLACED THE LIFTERS THEN AGAIN AT 60,000 MILES THE CAR HAD THE SAME PROBLEM. THIS TIME I HAD A CERTIFIED MECHANIC FROM WORK CALL A FRIEND AT THE DODGE DEALERSHIP AND HE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT CHRYSLER WAS HAVING A PROBLEM WITH THE LIFTERS AND THAT THERE WAS A REPAIR KIT AVAILABLE THROUGH CHRYSLER. I HAVE HAD THE CAR BACK FOR 2 WEEKS NOW WITH NO PROBLEMS SO FAR. THE MECHANIC VISUALLY CONFIRMED THAT THE RETAINING PINS OF THE SHAFT WERE INDEED SHEARED, THUS BLOCKING THE OIL GALLEY AND THE FLOW OF OIL TO THE LIFTERS. MY OPINION IS WHY WOULD CHRYSLER COME OUT WITH THIS REPAIR KIT IF THERE WAS NO WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM. *TR

UPON HEARING TICKING NOISE, WE TOOK OUR 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA INTO THE DEALER. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM CAUSED BY A BROKEN RETAINING PIN ON THE ROCKER ARM SHAFT. WHEN THE PIN BREAKS, THE SHAFT CAN SPIN THAT MAY BLOCK OIL PASSAGE THE ROCKER ARMS (WHICH CAUSES THE TICKING NOISE). THE ROCKER ARM SHAFTS WERE REPLACED BY THE DEALER. NOW, WE ARE HAVING PROBLEMS INVOLVING THE PEDESTAL KIT. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS PROBLEM. I BELIEVE IT SHOULD BE RECALLED. *TR THANK YOU, NICOLE SCHILT
