2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Fuelpropulsion System Problems

This is a complaint regarding an inadequate recall remedy for Recall Z75 (NHTSA 24V-538). The manufacturer's software update rendered my 2017 Pacifica Hybrid inoperable due to DTC P0C77. While the battery was ultimately replaced under warranty, the manufacturer is refusing to reimburse $1,948.74 in rental expenses despite a prior verbal commitment to do so. This constitutes a failure to provide a 'free and effective remedy' as required by federal law for safety recalls.

We bought this vehicle from a local dealer in March (9months ago) in the time we’ve had it… it’s been in the shop for about 6 of them. 1- About 3 weeks after the purchase it shut off while I was driving on the highway. We then took it to the dealership in Jasper, Ga bc the error code said the pcm needed to be reset. They couldn’t get it to reset so they embarked on a diagnostic that took 3 months to discover the fuel pump was “too small”. The dealership repair guy assured us this was a solve to the issue, they’re tech put 200 miles on it an had no issues. 2- The day we got it back the check engine light came on and while going around a curve to the right, the wheel locked up on me and almost drove me into a mailbox. We...

Due to faulty plastic fuel neck hose . When pumping gas the gas tank piece broke off .which now I have hard time putting gas in , I can never get it filled up with gas because it keeps stopping as if it’s full , which in this case it’s not . And I have to hold the piece to get fuel in . This can be dangerous it could cause over fill gas to flow over or even on one’s skin or instance catch on fire . This part needs to be stronger as in metal not plastic fuel neck. Also without warning no lamp lights showed up .

The fuel cap snapped off. While trying to avoid a $1000 plus garage bill I was researching on how we could possibly fix this at home. While doing the research I’ve found hundreds if not thousands of people on Chrysler forums stating they’ve had the same issue and almost all breaks are identical. I/we that have these issues and them being so common including identical breakage find that it should be Chryslers problem to fix as they clearly used faulty products that now cause major emissions issues and fueling issues. Gas spills out everywhere as the pumps register the tank as full so it either stops the pump or it spews gas out not allowing the gas to go into the tank. I’d like this to be looked into as a bigger recall since it’s very obviously a huge issue in many Pacificas across the nation.

The vehicle had a recall a few years ago to install updates on the PCM computer for a stalling issue but it was never corrected. The vehicle still stalls on turns and on the highway and inside the Chrysler Dealership but the dealer was not able to identify the issue. It seems that the computer tries to correct the issue but it does not work. This is very dangerous when the vehicle stalls on the highway and the car does not start. Eventually it does start after the vehicle stops but my family and I are risking our lives when we drive the vehicle. In addition when going up a steep roadway, the vehicle is not able to drive up the hill easily and I have to pull over, the vehicle computer seems to make adjustments which take 30-60 seconds and then the vehicle is able to drive up the...

After the latest 73B recall, the engine light sporadically turn on. In one occasion, while cruising at low speed ~25mph in the electric mode, the vehicle switched to gas engine mode even there was 16 electric miles on the battery. This issue was not there prior to the recall. Need investigation on the software reliability and the underlying battery issue

Unknown, engine light came on flashing while driving. Car has been repaired by the dealership a few weeks ago and replaced the fuel pump.

We bought the van on 03/31/2022. On 08/31/2023 we went to get into the van, while it was parked outside of our home, and I tried to start it up but it wouldn't start. I had my mechanic look at it and he said it would need a new engine. I"m so glad that it happened in front of my house or else I would have been stranded somewhere with my kids- which would have been very dangerous. There were no symptoms or indicators of the problem before it happened. It happened out of nowhere. Our warranty on the vehicle expired 5 months prior to it breaking down so we haven't taken it to the dealer. We can't afford it. Before it broke down it went to every single service appointment and was up to date on every oil change/ service it needed.

Coolant leakage, engine misfire. Check engine light. only 72,000 miles

Recall fail Recall done in 2019 for EGR and car is continuing to fail again years later. While driving car stalls and shuts off

Blown head gasket 2017 chrysler pacifica 82000 miles. Spark plugs replaced. All are black with heavy carbon buildup. Check engine light went on as did the engine stop start warning. Code read cylinder 5 misfire. Many people have had the same issue. Check out following thread. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

While driving my vehicle, it suddenly stalled and told me to put it in park. I was driving approximately 25 miles per hour. I had to pull over and put it in park. It then allowed me to restart. There were no warning lamps and happened spontaneously. I have not had the issue reproduced but this wad part of a recall for this vehicle in 2018 that seems to have returned.

The van began to run rough in the mornings when I first started up. I initially thought a tire was flat. But all tires were fine. It did this several mornings but then would begin driving smoothly as normal about 2-3 minutes after the drive started. A little less than two weeks later the check engine light came on for the first time. It ran roughly but lasted a little longer; maybe 5 minutes. The check engine light would go off. It did this a couple of times. The third time, the check engine light came on and started blinking. Then maybe 20 minutes into the drive the van began to overheat. I turned on the heat and the gauge went down to normal right away and drove as usual. The check engine light stopped blinking but stayed on. No problems for the rest of the hour-long drive. The next...

Car was serviced for a gas leak at a Chrysler Dealership the previous day. The next morning, I was driving at a low speed (<20 mph) when an error message appeared "Car must be in P (park) to place in drive." I switched to P and tried to restart the engine. It turned over several times but never restarted. A police officer had to manually disengage the transmission and emergency brake to put the car in neutral and roll it to a turn lane (rather than in heavy traffic). The car was towed to a dealership and is still being diagnosed. We had no driving issues prior to the car stalling this morning, even with the previous gas leak mentioned above.

Engine light stays on and Carmax and Chrysler Dealership keep telling me nothing is wrong. Noone can fix it. I never know is my car is safe. Will it blow up. I want my money back or want them to fix it.

Top portion of fuel filler neck broke off vehicle during normal refueling process. Top of capless system fractured from filler neck and came off with gas pump nozzle as it was removed from vehicle. Capless fuel system no longer has a seal mechanism to contain fuel vapors. Fuel vapors will potentially leak from vehicle during normal driving as well as parked conditions. This leakage will worsen as weather begins to warm up. Potential to trigger OBDII malfunction when vehicle runs diagnostics for leakage.

While driving our minivan it stalls or it seems like the gas isn’t getting to the engine. It has happened when I’ve been accelerating from a side road across a very busy road on more thank e occasion. We thought it was the gas we were using. Now we’ve been advised it is due to a “crank shaft sensor”. (?) We may not be eligible to get it fixed because we got our 2017 Pacifica in Oct 2016, drove it approx. 15,000 miles/ year so we may not be able to get it fixed for free.

Unknown. Vehicle jerks when shifting gears

I have had engine problems for over a year now. My car has had constant issues with rough idling and also jerking while driving. The jerking has been fixed for now but the rough idling has became worse to the point where the car feels as if it will stall out. My car has been at the dealership for repair since 12.22.22 and is still there today 1.11.23 - I was told by another repair shop (while getting brakes and an oil change ) that my car had 3 holes in the crankshaft and that was a problem because there should only be 2 holes. The dealership has replaced an EGR and now is talking about something on the engine to replace (but not the whole engine) and they have still not looked at the crankshaft to see if there are the incorrect number of holes. This is my primary...

Transmission slips while driving

The vehicle stalled on the road in the middle of an intersection and then again in a turn lane a few hours later in the same day. The car was in drive, rumbled near the front of the vehicle, lurched forward, and then the engine cut out and would not restart. Trying to start the car again made a REVVVVVV-putta-putta-putta noise and there was not any control of the ignition on my end. It revved up and then hovered around 1/2 of 1 RPM on the dash then it would cut out and ask me to put it in park and start again. Hitting the engine start button did nothing and the dash electronics seemed to cut in and out. Each time I went to restart the car, it went from being in drive to stalling to needing 5+ minutes before it could be driven again, this happened without warning....

Driving down the road and suddenly engine shut off without warning, lost power immediately, RPMs went to zero, dash said "Shift to Park." Tried to pull over, didn't get completely out of the way because no power from engine so car had to swerve around us. Shifted to park, tried to restart, didn't work until third time to restart car so that I could drive home. Ridiculously unsafe for the car engine to just shut off without warning in middle of road. Looks like this is the same recall Chrysler tried to fix years ago. Someone is going to die from this defect. Thank God I was on a local road and not the highway when this happened. This car model should be taken off the road immediately.

While traveling on a dry highway, with good tires/new tires, and decelerating from 45 mph and approaching a red light, and a moderate, but firm pressure on the brake to bring the van to a full stop, the speed decreased to 15 mph, with the tachometer stable at 800 rpm and then to 10 mph, with both hands on the wheel, left foot on the dead pedal, and right foot on the middle of the brake pedal. As the speedometer made the transition at 10 MPH, the tachometer surged to 1500 RPM and then to 3000 in under 3 seconds, which cause me to initiate an emergency action drill of stabbing the brake pedal hard three times and rotating the transmission control to the lowest gear. The transmission refused to shift lower, and the control of the vehicle turned on oa wrestling match and the tachometer surged from 1500 RPM,...

VEHICLE MOTOR OR TRANSMISSION LURCHES AND STALLS, WON'T STAY IN GEAR, STOPS FOR NO REASON IN TRAFFIC, SLAMS INTO GEAR. BUT WON'T ACCELERATE. ARRIGO CHRYLSER DEALERSHIP IN FORT PIERCE FLORIDA STATED THEY REPAIRED ISSUE WITH COMPUTER RESET OR REPROGRAMMING BUT DID NOT RESOLVE. CONTINUES TO STALL AND LURCH AND LOSE POWER.

we smelled gas on the passenger side and noticed there wasn't a ton of power being given to the engine. Once we got to our destination the gas smell was stronger. We arrived back at our house and the gas smell was really bad at this point and noticed there was gas coming over the headlights. We popped the hood and there was gas everywhere. We got very lucky and the van did not catch on fire. The fuel supply tube (68210442AA) was shooting gas out from a hole in it and it would land a good 20-ft outside the vehicle. This could have killed myself and my family. We went to find the part and come to find out chrysler "redesigned" the part but there is no recall on this part yet.

THIS VEHICLE IS A HANDICAP CONVERSION VAN MODIFIED BY REVABILITY / VMI IN THE MODIFICATION - REVABILITY HAS REPLACED THE FACTORY FUEL TANK WITH ONE OF THEIR OWN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. IN DOING SO - THEY USE THE CHRYSLER FACTORY COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE FUEL PUMP, FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT, EMISSIONS CONNECTIONS, ETC. HOWEVER - THE FUEL GAUGE HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VAN AND IT GIVES MISLEADING INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUEL LEVEL. IT REGISTERS ONLY 3/4 FULL ON THE DASH WHEN IN FACT THE TANK IS FULL. IF YOU TRY TO ADD ANY MORE FUEL (AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VAN) - IT AFFECTS THE EMISSIONS CONTROLS SEVERELY AND MAKES THE VAN UN-DRIVABLE; IN FACT THE ENGINE WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY IN TRAFFIC WHICH IS A SEVERE HAZARD. FURTHER - THE LOW TANK LEVEL IS UNPREDICTABLE SO YOU ARE NEVER SURE WHEN TO...

FUEL PUMP NOZZLES DON'T WORK WITH PACIFICA AND AUTO SHUT OFF EVERY SECOND. THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH DESIGN WHERE NOZZLE SENSES FUEL AND SHUTS OFF. THIS IS NOT ONLY SUPER ANNOYING BUT A SAFETY HAZARD. SINCE THE FUEL PUMP AUTO SHUTS OFF EVERY TWO SECONDS, I HAVE TO KEEP PRESSING IT AND DON'T KNOW WHEN IT IS FALSE AND WHEN IT IS REALLY A FULL TANK. THIS RESULTS IN OVERFLOW (TOP OFF EFFECT) WHICH IS HAZARDOUS!!! THIS IS NOT ISOLATED.... 4 OUT OF 5 PUMPS DO THIS! PLEASE HELP AS I KNOW OTHERS HAVE SAME ISSUE FROM THE ONLINE FORUMS. I CAN PROVIDE VIDEO OF THIS.

FUEL LEAK.. WITH GASOLINE ODOR AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WITH CANNER CODE P0456, WHEN I START UP THE CAR.

MY 2017 PACIFICA HAS HAD MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS, SUNROOF, SLIDING DOORS, NAVIGATION, ELECTRONIC SCREEN, AND REAR HATCH WHICH HAVE BEEN REPAIRED EXCEPT FOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW & SUNROOF. BUT THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT REPEATEDLY AND THEY SAY THEY CAN NEVER RECREATE IS THAT THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE OFTEN TIMES UNTIL AFTER THE CAR GLIDES INTO THE INTERSECTION, AND WHEN IT DOES IT LURCHES FORWARD. I DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY BECAUSE I KNOW I AM AT RISK OF GETTING HIT IF THE ENGINE DOESN'T KICK IN THE NEXT TIME I TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

DRIVING VEHICLE AND IT JUST TURNS OFF. I AM 80 AND IT TURNED OFF IN TRAFFIC CIRCLE. IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE AND IS EXACTLY DESCRIBED IN JUNE RECALL. VEHICLE HAS NO OPEN RECALLS AND HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN LAST WEEK.

VEHICLE IS SLAMMING INTO GEAR GENERALLY IN 2ND OR 3RD GEAR.. WE HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATE AS WELL AS THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES HOWEVER WE ARE TOLD THEY CANNOT REPLICATE. THE PROBLEM CONTINUES TO WORSEN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OLATHE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 15500 W 117TH ST, OLATHE, KS 66062, (913) 780-3700) TO BE DIAGNOSED, WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,508. PIIR = Y.

SCREEN SAID 'SHIFT TO PARK TO DRIVE....' HAD TO DO SHIFT AND PRESS THE START BUTTON TWICE TO GET THE CONTROL BACK OF THE VEHICLE. THIS TIME WIFE AND 2 CHILDREN WITH ME. OF COURSE PPL STARTED HONKING AND YELLING CUZ IT'S NYC. ALSO MOST OF THE TIME WHILE FUELING, THE FUEL PUMP STOPS. REALLY SCARED TO DRIVE THIS VAN ANYMORE.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN ACCELERATION FROM STOP AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN , THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND BACK INTO GEAR. THIS CAUSED A VIOLENT MOTION IN THE CAR.AT TIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE PROPERLY AND IT SLIPS CAUSING A DELAY IN TAKING OFF. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ALL UPGRADES OR REPROGRAMS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND YET THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.

THE VEHICLE ELECTRONICS MALFUNCTIONED WITH THE WINDOWS ROLLING DOWN ON THERE OWN. FOLLOWING THAT THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN AT AROUND 40 MPH LOCKING UP THE STEERING, LOSS OF POWER STEERING, ENGINE TURNED OFF AND WOULD NOT RESTART. THIS OCCURRED ON THE HIGHWAY AND THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS OCCURRED. THE KEY FOB WILL NOT WORK AND THE CAR WILL NOT START AGAIN. I CAN'T EVEN LOCK THE VEHICLE. LUCKILY WE HAD STARTED TO SLOW DOWN AND DID NOT HAVE TO TURN OR THIS WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITH MY KIDS IN THE VEHICLE. I WILL NOT BE PUTTING MY FAMILY IN THIS VAN AGAIN.

THE VEHICLE'S STOP/START SYSTEM SHUT DOWN THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY WHILE THE CAR WAS IN THE PROCESS OF MAKING A LEFT TURN AND COULD HAVE CAUSED AN ACCIDENT. IT WAS FIXED, THEN A FEW MONTHS LATER IT WAS UNDER A SEPARATE RECALL. RECENTLY THE SYSTEM MALFUNCTIONED AGAIN AND AGAIN DOES NOT WORK.

LOSS OF POWER WHILE DRIVING AT A HIGH SPEED, 60-70 MPH. THIS PROBLEM WAS SAID TO BE ADDRESSED IN A JANUARY 2018. ON NOVEMBER 9,2018 WHILE ON I75 NORTH BOUND LANE IN TOLEDO, OHIO, BY EXIT 200, IN THE LEFT HAND LANE AT ABOUT 1:00 PM, THE PACIFICA LOST ALL .POWER. WHEN I WENT TO SHUT THE ENGINE OFF A WARNING CAME ON SAYING "CAR MUST BE IN PARK TO STOP. I THEN PUT THE SHIFT NOB TO DRIVE, THE CAR THEN TRIED TO BACKUP. I THEN PUT THE INDICATOR BACK TO PARK AND THIS TIME THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. I THEN RESTARTED THE CAR. EVERYTHING SEEMED NORMAL. WITH ROAD RANGERS ASSISTANCE, I THEN WENT TO THE NEAREST CHRYSLER DEALER. THEY THEN CHECKED EVERYTHING OUT WITH THEIR COMPUTER. IT SHOWED PREVIOUS GLITCHES, BUT EVERYTHING WAS WORKING AS NORMAL. I THEN PROCEEDED ON MY JOURNEY. I CALLED CHRYSLER CAR AND DOCUMENTED...

DRIVING AT 70 MPH, MY PACIFICA JUST SHUT OFF. HAD NO CONTROL, HAD NOTHING. MANAGED TO PULL OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WHEN CALLED INTO THE BEAVER COUNTY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP I WAS TOLD, "WE JUST SELL THEM, WE DON'T MAKE THEM." HIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN ONE ISSUE AFTER ANOTHER. THE SLIDING DOORS NOT CLOSING, THE DVD PLAYER NOT WORKING, THE RADIO NOT WORKING, THE SLIDING DOOR ON DRIVER'S SIDE STILL NOT WORKING AND THEY HAD TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE GAS TANK BECAUSE I COULDN'T EVEN PUT GAS IN THE TANK IT WOULD SHUT OFF AND WOULDN'T LET GAS GET INTO THE TANK. NOW THIS. WE WERE SCARED FOR OUR LIVES AND THEN TOLD, "WE JUST SELL THEM WE DON'T BUILD THEM." THIS IS NOT A SAFE VEHICLE. ...*BF *TR *TT CONSUMER STATED PROBLEM WAS SOLVED. UPDATED 12/19/18*JB

CAR WAS IN MOTION, IN TRAFFIC, USING CRUISE CONTROL ON A TWO LANE HIGHWAY. AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO ACCELERATE AND PASS THE SLOWER CAR AHEAD. WHEN ACCELERATING TO OVERRIDE THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CAR DECELERATED AND FELT AS THOUGH THE BRAKES WERE BEING ENGAGED. FORTUNATELY ONCOMING TRAFFIC DID NOT APPROACH BEFORE THE CAR WAS ABLE TO LIMP BACK THE LANE. MULLANE MOTORS SERVICED THE VEHICLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. TWO DAYS LATER THE CAR AGAIN DECELERATED WHEN APPLYING GAS TO PROCEED, A WARNING FLASH APPEARED THAT SAID ELECTRONIC THROTTLE NEEDS TO BE SERVICED. ALL THIS HAPPENED A FEW MOTHS AFTER WE HAD OUR CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THE RECALL REGARDING THE CRUISE CONTROL AND TWO DAYS AFTER SERVICING TO FIX THE DECELERATION HAPPENING AS GAS PEDAL IS DEPRESSED.

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND WHEN A SERVICE TECH CHECKS IT, IT IS SAYING THAT THE PRESSURE IS OFF IN REGARDS TO THE GAS TANK CAP. THEY RESET IT AND IT COMES BACK ON 2 WEEKS LATER. THEY TOLD ME NEVER TO TURN THE CAR ON WHILE FUELING, WHICH I HAVE NEVER DONE. I BELIEVE THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART OR SOFTWARE AND THEY NEED A FIX FOR IT.

THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AS IF THE "KEY" HAD BEEN TURNED OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE MOVING, ON THE HIGHWAY ACCOMPANIED BY THE MESSAGE "SHIFT TO PARK" MY WIFE SHIFTED TO PARK THEN RESTARTED IT, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO REPEAT THIS MULTIPLE TIMES UNTIL SHE WAS ABLE TO MAKE IT TO AN EXIT RAMP AND PARK IN A SAFE AREA. THIS IS THE SECOND TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE SPAN OF ABOUT 8 MONTHS. IT HAS BEEN TO 2 DEALERS, BOTH TIMES WE WHERE TOLD THAT NO CODES WHERE STORED INTERNALLY THEREFOR THEY DIDNT KNOW WHAT TO REPAIR. OUR VAN HAS BEEN MODIFIED FOR A WHEELCHAIR FOR OUR DISABLED TEENAGER BECAUSE OF THIS WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO KEEP DRIVING IT IN THIS CONDITION. NOT TO MENTION HOW UNDEPENDABLE IT FEELS.

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ON A 5 LANE HIGHWAY GOING APPROX 50 MPH WHEN THE CAR SHUT OFF. THE GAS PEDAL STOPPED WORKING AND THE CAR BEGAN TO DECELERATE. ON THE CONSOLE IT TOLD ME TO THEN PUT THE CAR IN P TO START THE CAR. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART THE CAR HOWEVER IT HAPPENED AGAIN WITHIN 10 MINUTES OF DRIVING. IT HAS PROCEEDED TO HAPPEN 10-20 TIMES AND CARS IS NOW IN THE SHOP. THIS IS A VERY DANGEROUS THING TO HAVE HAPPEN WHEN YOU ARE DRIVING.

UNABLE TO GAS UP THE VEHICLE PUMP KEEPS CUTTING OFF. VEHICLE WILL NOT TAKE THE FUEL EVERY TIME I TRY TO GAS UP

DRIVING, PULLING OUT OF DRIVEWAY AND VEHICLE SHUT OFF, WOULD NOT SHIFT OR RESTART

AS OF TODAY, MY NEW VAN HAS BEEN IN SERVICE 13 OF THE 15 DAYS I HAVE OWNED IT. NOT EVEN 12 HOURS AFTER BRINGING MY NEW VAN HOME, I NOTICED SOME LAGGING/SLIGHT JERK AFTER BRAKING GOING AROUND 20 MPH. THE NEXT DAY, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD (THANK GOODNESS) AFTER TURNING RIGHT AFTER A STOP SIGN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A DING AND BLINKING AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I COASTED INTO MY FRIENDS DRIVEWAY TO PUT IN PARK AND THE VAN BEGAN TO SHAKE. THIS WENT ON A FEW MIN AND BECAUSE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, I LEFT THE DRIVEWAY AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY FOR 10 MIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TWO MORE TIMES AFTER THAT. AFTER FOUR DAYS IN SERVICE, THEY FINALLY CONCLUDED IT WAS THE O2 SENSORS AND REPLACED ALL OF THOSE. AFTER IT WAS FIXED, MY HUSBAND...

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE CHANGED TO PARK BEFORE IT COULD BE STARTED. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED WOULD HAPPEN ON A FULL TANK OF GAS AND CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL WAS RAN DOWN.
