2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Engine Problems

I BOUGHT THIS CAR ALMOST NEW (IT WAS NEVER TITLED - CHRYSLER HAS USED IT AS A CORPORATE CAR), WITH 15,000 MILES ON IT. I HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE MOUNTS FOUR TIMES (THE FIRST TWO TIMES UNDER WARRANTY). ON THE LATEST INSTANCE, THE MOUNTS HAD BEEN ON THE CAR FOR ABOUT 15 MONTHS AND 28,000 MILES. THEY FAILED AND DAMAGED THE RIGHT FRONT AXLE, WHICH ALSO HAD TO BE REPLACED, FOR A TOTAL COST OF ABOUT $2,500. *TR

WHILE DRIVING, THE ENGINE JUST STOPPED/STALLED. STEERING, BRAKE AND GAS PEDALS STOPPED FUNCTIONING. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL THE CAR FULLY STOPPED. SCARY AND FEELS SO HELPLESS IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD! *TR

THE FIRST TIME I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED ON MY 07' CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS IN 2009. THERE WAS AN AWFUL ALMOST SLAMMING TYPE NOISE AND THE VEHICLE "JUMPED" WHEN ACCELERATING. I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALERSHIP, IT WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY AT THAT TIME AND THEY SAID THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE CRACKED AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THEM, BUT COULDN'T GUARANTEE HOW LONG THEY WOULD LAST. THE MECHANIC SAID THAT IT WAS "AN ISSUE" ON THE PACIFICA MODEL AS IT WAS A DESIGN FLAW AND HE HAD SEEN THIS PROBLEM OFTEN. SINCE THE FIRST TIME THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE FOUND TO BE CRACKED IN 2009, I HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS 2 MORE TIME AND NOW THEY ARE BROKE AGAIN; TOTALING 4 TIMES IN 7 YEARS!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND UNACCEPTABLE! I HAVE CALLED CHRYSLER QUITE A FEW TIMES IN THE LAST 4 YEARS...

THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS MOSTLY IT HAPPENS WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT THEY JUST SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE 2 FUEL PUMPS FOR $900 BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT HAVE THE PUMPS CHANGED. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF LOSS OF POWER ASSIST STEERING IS LOST AND POWER ASSIST BRAKES MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO NAVIGATE TO A STOP TO RESTART IT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE SURGED WITH HESITATION IN A JERKING MOTION. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON THREE SEPARATE OCCASIONS WHERE THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNT WAS REPLACED EACH TIME. THE FAILURE RECURRED AND THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED FOR THE MOST RECENT FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 31,201.

MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS WHILE TURNING LEFT AND ALWAYS UNDER THE SPEED OF 45 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS WHO HAVE FIXED DIFFERENT THINGS THEY FEEL IS CAUSING THE STALLING AND NOTHING IS WORKING. I HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVE IT THEY CANT DIAGNOSE IT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE CARS BEHIND ME HAVE NO WARNING THE CAR IS SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND THEY WOULD "HELP" ME FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. SO I DID AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND GAVE ME NEW SPARK PLUGS. CHRYSLER WAS GOING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND I FOUGHT THEM ON IT AND THEY AGREED TO PAY...

FIRST WEEK IN JUNE I SENT MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO ATHENS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN BOGART GA. THE STEERING WAS LOCKING UP ON MY WIFE. I FIGURED IT WAS MAYBE THE POWER STEERING. THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE AGAIN BROKEN AND THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT ONE FOR THE THIRD TIME. I READ IN SOCIAL CAR CHAT ROOMS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE FAILING IN JUST ABOUT ALL THESE TYPE CARS, AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE COSTS. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT NO ONE WILL BUY OR AT LEAST I WOULDN'T BECAUSE IT CAN'T HOLD ITS OWN ENGINE. I KNOW THIS IS A CONSUMER CONCERN JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE STEERING LOCKING UP WITH MY FAMILY ON BOARD. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAK UNLESS THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IN MY OPINION THIS IS...

AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES, WHILE A COMPUTER-RELATED RECALL REPAIR WAS BEING PERFORMED, I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT MOTOR MOUNTS WERE A POTENTIAL PROBLEM & TO KEEP A WATCH ON IT. I THOUGHT THIS WAS AN ODD COMMENT AT THE TIME, AS THE CAR WAS BARELY 3 YEARS OLD (AND, OF COURSE, OUT OF WARRANTY). FAST FORWARD TO APPROXIMATELY 70,000-75,000 MILES, AND WE STARTED HAVING ISSUES. THEY ARE PARTICULARLY NOTICEABLE WHEN I AM SLOWING TO A STOP, AND THEN RE-ACCELERATE (FOR INSTANCE, THE LIGHT CHANGED GREEN RIGHT AS I WAS SLOWING TO A STOP, SO I WOULD TAKE MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE & THEN ACCELERATE INSTEAD) - THE CAR WON'T MOVE RIGHT AWAY, AND THEN IT SUDDENLY "CLUNKS" INTO GEAR & LURCHES FORWARD. THE FORCE IS SO STRONG THAT I HAVE ALMOST REAR-ENDED SOMEONE ON SEVERAL DIFFERENT OCCASIONS. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER REGARDING THE ISSUE - HAVE...

MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA BEGAN STALLING ON 8/17/2011. WE HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RE-START, NO MATTER WHAT THE TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. WE LOSE ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES WHEN THIS HAPPENS. AFTER ABOUT 3 STALLING INCIDENTS IN A SHORT TIME. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY HAD THE CAR FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS AND COULDN'T FIND THE CAUSE. THEY SENT ME HOME AND SAID TO KEEP A DIARY OF PROBLEMS. I KEPT TRACK FOR A YEAR. IN THAT TIME THE CAR HAD STALLED 24 TIMES. THE TIME OF DAY AND CONDITIONS WERE ALL NOTED.

WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF 10-35 MPH, THE OIL AND ESP LIGHTS WOULD ILLUMINATE, THEN THE ENGINE WILL SIMPLY CUT OFF / STALL. WE HAVE TO PUT ON THE EMERGENCY FLASHER WHILE IN TRAFFIC, PUT THE VEHICLE IN NEUTRAL OR PARK AND RESTART. NO ENGINE LIGHT. WE BROUGHT THE PACIFICA IN TO THE DODGE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES AND THEY COULD NOT FIND ANY CODES. THEY TRIED UPDATING THE SOFTWARE ON THE ECM WHICH DID NOT HELP. THEN, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BAD AND THE TORQUE OF THE ENGINE WAS PULLING ON THE FRONT WIRING HARNESS(ES), CAUSING THE STALLING ISSUE. WE HAD ALL 3 (FRONT, REAR, UPPER) ENGINE/MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED AND THE ISSUE STILL HAPPENS EVERY TIME WE TRY TO DRIVE THE CAR. THE DEALERSHIP HAS THE CAR AGAIN AND SAID THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNT STILL LOOKS LIKE IT IS BAD EVEN THOUGH IT WAS REPLACED 4 DAYS...
