2005 Chrysler Pacifica Complaint Log

I PURCHASED MY 05 PACIFICA IN JUNE OF 05. I WAS NOT IN ANY MAJOR ACCIDENTS BUT WHEN I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO THE DEALER FOR THE INSPECTION I WAS TOLD THE FRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED AND THEY RED FLAGGED MY VIN#. I TOOK FOR A 2ND OPINION AND WAS TOLD THE INFORMATION THE DEALER PUT ON THE ESTIMATE WAS SOMEWHAT ACCURATE...I DID CONTACT MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND HAD ALL OF THE REPAIRS, PAID MY DEDUCTIBLE BUT AM WONDERING HOW MANY OF THIS VEHICLE HAD THIS PROBLEM? ALSO SHOULDN'T THIS HAVE BEEN COVERED UNDER WARRANTY...I WAS TOLD NO BY THE DEALER?

JUST TWO WEEKS BEFORE THE ABS SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON (AT 38000 MILES), WE HAD THE CAR SERVICED FOR FAULTY POWER SEAT CONTROL. THE SEAT STARTED TO ADJUST ON ITS OWN, THE MESSAGE STATED THAT THERE WAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MEMORY SELECTION. HOWEVER, WE HAD NOT PROGRAMMED SEATING POSITIONS. IN FACT, WE DIDN'T HAVE THE KEYPAD! THE ABS SENSOR CAME ON SUDDENLY. I WAS DRIVING AT A LOW SPEED OF AROUND 30 MPH. I HEARD A ROLLING NOISE AND FELT THE ROLLING OR SCRUBBING UNDERFOOT. TWO WEEKS AFTER THAT I BEGAN TO HEAR THE SOUND WITHOUT ENGAGING THE BRAKES. WE'VE HAD PROBLEMS FROM THE BEGINNING. THE SERVICEMEN COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM WHEN WE PRESENTED IT LESS THAN A MONTH AFTER PURCHASE. THEN, ANOTHER AROSE. THEN, ANOTHER. UNFORTUNATELY, THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE IS FAR LESS THAN WHAT'S OWED (DEPRECIATION), AND I FEEL "CAUGHT BETWEEN A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE." WILL SOMEONE MAKE GOOD ON THIS?

AFTER DRIVING FOR COUPLE OF HOURS ON FREEWAYS AND BRIDGES, TURNED INTO RESIDENTIAL STREET AND HEARD LOUD CRUNCHING NOISES. CAR WOULD NOT MOVE. ON GROUND AROUND AND UNDER CAR WERE GREASY BALL BEARINGS AND PIECES OF METAL. HAD CAR TOWED TO PLACE OF PURCHASE AND FOUND OUT THE LEFT FRONT AXLE BROKE. CAR ONLY 2 YEARS OLD AND NOTHING CAUSED THIS EXCEPT FAILURE OF CAR PART. WHEN I FOUND OUT I COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED IF THE LORD HAD NOT SPARED ME AND HAD IT HAPPEN WHILE MOVING SLOWLY, NEARLY HAD HEART FAILURE. THE CAR WAS REPAIRED UNDER WARRANTY, BUT THE CHRYSLER PLACE WOULDN'T REALLY TALK TO ME ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED. *JB

VERY LOUD POPPING/CLUNK SOUND FROM FRONT HALF OF VEHICLE. CAR IN REVERSE BACKING OUT OF GARAGE, WHEELS TURNED TO STRAIGHTEN OUT AND THEN SHIFTING INTO DRIVE, CAR MAKES A LOUD POP WHEN MAKING FIRST TURN. BROUGHT TO DEALER, REPLACED AXLES, STILL POPPING. RETURNED TO REPAIR, COULDN'T FIND PROBLEM. BROUGHT IN AGAIN AND REPLACED AXLES AGAIN SAYING THEY WERE SURE IT WAS A BAD BATCH PREVIOUSLY. STILL POPPING LOUD. CAR HAS TO BE COLD, CAN'T DUPLICATE FOR DEALER. I FEAR SOMETHING IS BREAKING AND WILL CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT WAS INVOLVED IN TWO CRASHES. IN THE FIRST CRASH, THE CONTACT STRUCK A DEER AND THE AIR BAGS FAILED TO DEPLOY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR REPAIR, BUT THE MORE IT WAS REPAIRED, THE MORE FAILURES WERE FOUND. IN THE SECOND CRASH, THE VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY ACCELERATED UPHILL AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED AND SPUN OUT. THE VEHICLE FLIPPED OVER REPEATEDLY AND LANDED UPSIDE DOWN, NEARLY KILLING THE CONTACT. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. AFTER THE CRASHES, SHE RECEIVED A SAFETY RECALL NOTICE FOR THE FUEL PUMP MODULE OR PROGRAM PCM. THE SPEED, RECALL NUMBER, AND MILEAGES WERE UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AFTER REFUELING THE FUEL TANK THE FUEL PUMP FAILED EACH TIME. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ABS AND CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR KEPT ILLUMINATING, AND THE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL CAP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 176,000. UPDATED 05/10/17*LJ *CN

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 70 MPH AT SUNSET, THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE HEADLIGHTS. THE PASSENGER SIDE HEADLIGHT BEGAN TO BLINK AND THEN FAILED A WEEK LATER. THE FOLLOWING WEEK, THE DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT BEGAN BLINKING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS EXCLUDED FROM RECALL NUMBER 05V066000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING:HEADLIGHTS). THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,300.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 40 MPH IN WET CONDITIONS, THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW FAILED. THE WINDOW DROPPED DOWN INTO THE DOOR AND THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RAISE THE WINDOW. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A REPAIR SHOP AND THEY REPAIRED THE WINDOW. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT BE OF ANY ASSISTANCE. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 38,300.

THE 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS BURNING OIL AT 1 QUART PER 1000 MILES. THE DEALERSHIP TOOK THE ENGINE APART AND REPLACED THE VALVE SEALS. THIS HELPED AND SLOWED THE OIL CONSUMPTION,, BUT DID NOT FIX IT. NOW THE CAR WAS STILL BURNING 1 QUART 1000 MILES, WHICH CHRYSLER CLAIMED WAS PERFECTLY NORMAL , ACCORDING TO THEIR POLICY. THE MANAGER AT THE DEALERSHIP STATED THAT THIS WAS NOT A PROBLEM THAT PACIFICA'S HAD AND SEEMSED TO BE UNIQUE TO THIS CAR ,AND A FEW OTHERS. CHRYSLERWAS STILL REFUSING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. IF ALLOWED THE OIL TO BURN AT 1QUART. PER 1000 MILES, THEN AT 3000 MILES OIL CHANGE THE VEHICLE WILL BE 3 QUARTS LOW, LEAVING ONLY 2.5 QUARTS. OF OIL INTHE CAR. THIS WAS 2 QUARTS. BELOW THE MINIMUM LEVEL FOR SAFE DRIVING ACCORDING TO THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNER'S MANUAL. *AK

HEADLAMP FAILURE, CAUSING REPLACEMENT SEVERAL TIMES SINCE PURCHASE IN 7/05. SLUGGISH DRIVING/ACCELERATION, ACCELERATOR STICKING. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE BACKING OUT OF THE DRIVEWAY AT 10 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED. WHEN IN REVERSE, THE VEHICLE GOES FORWARD. THE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND THE HANDLING FAILS. THE DEALER STATED THAT A MINIMUM 4-HOUR DIAGNOSTIC IS NEEDED TO IDENTIFY THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 99,500.

(1) NONE (2) STALLING, CONSTANT, TOTAL LOSS OF POWER, HAPPENS AT ALL SPEEDS/CONDITIONS. (3) INDEPENDENT REPAIR SHOP AND DEALER COULD NOT FIX, AS IT DOES NOT SEND AND ERROR CODE.

LOSS OF OIL AND CANNOT REPAIR. MOTOR WAS REBUILT AND CONTINUES TO LOSE OIL. VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN SHOP SINCE MAY 20,2007. MY VEHICLE IS STILL THERE AND NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT. *JB

THE ENGINE LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD LIT UP ONE DAY. SHORTLY THEREAFTER, I EXPERIENCED A VERY ROUGH IDLE. IT DID NOT STALL HOWEVER, BUT CONTINUED TO IDLE AND RUN VERY ROUGHLY. UPON EXAMINATION, THE DEALERS SERVICE DEPARTMENT DETERMINED THAT THE TSB #09-010-06 HAD DESCRIBED THE ISSUE AND IT'S RECOMMENDED FIX WAS APPLIED. THAT BEING TO REPLACE THE VALVE SPRING RETAINER LOCKS, COMBUSTION CLEAN, AND REPLACE AND TEST THE MAP SENSOR. THIS TSB FIX HAD THE ADVERSE EFFECT OF CAUSING THE ENGINE TO SURGE RATHER ABRUPTLY WHEN STARTING COLD, AND APPLYING LIGHT PRESSURE ON THE ACCELERATOR. IT'S MORE NOTICEABLE WHEN BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND HAVING THE WHEEL TURNED AT THE SAME TIME. IT SEEMS THAT HAVING THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED PRESENTS AN ADDITIONAL LOAD ON THE ENGINE THAT THE COMPUTER SENSES AS A NEED FOR ADDITIONAL ENGINE SPEED. THIS SURGING ALSO HAPPENS WHEN PULLING FORWARD INTO A PARKING SPACE WITH THE WHEELS SHARPLY TURNED AS WELL. THREE SUBSEQUENT VISITS TO THE DEALER YIELDED DIFFERENT ANSWERS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO FIX IT. ON ONE VISIT, THE SERVICE DIRECTOR, CALLED TO TELL ME THAT HE HAD BEEN IN CONTACT WITH CHRYSLER ENGINEERS IN MICHIGAN ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WOULD LIKE TO TRY A COUPLE OF THINGS. NAMELY TO CHECK THE FUEL PRESSURE, ADAPTIVE MEMORY, AND MAP SENSOR. AFTER A TEST DRIVE HE CONCEDED THAT THE PROBLEM REMAINED, BUT NOT TO THE DEGREE THAT I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT. HE OFFERED NO OTHER ALTERNATIVE FIXES, BUT SAID THAT HE WOULD REMAIN IN CONTACT WITH THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERING WEBSITE THAT ISSUES TSB'S ETC. I GUESS THAT IS SUPPOSED TO SATISFY ME AS HE STATES THAT HE HAS DONE EVERYTHING HE COULD. AS THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE TO ME, I FELT PROMPTED TO FILE A COMPLAINT ON THE WEBSITE AS I FEEL THAT THE SURGING PROBLEM IS A DEFINITE SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. MY NEXT STEP IS THE WRITE CHRYSLER DIRECTLY PER THEIR WARRANTY INFORMATION BOOKLET. *TR

CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AT APPROXIMATELY 40,000 MILES. THE CHECK LIGHT HAS COME ON THE VEHICLE INDICATING CYLINDER THREE MISFIRED. I HAVE TAKEN VEHICLE TO THE SHOP THE FIRST TIME AND HAD THE COIL REPLACED. THE SAME LIGHT CAME ON WITH THE SAME WARNING. THIS TIME THE SPARK PLUGS WERE REPLACED, THE INJECTIONS CLEANED OUT, THE THROTTLE BODY CLEANED OUT. I JUST GOT IT BACK YESTERDAY AND I FEEL CONFIDENT THAT I WILL HAVE THE SAME THING OVER THE NEXT FEW DAYS. WHEN THIS HAPPENS, THE VEHICLE IDLES ROUGH AND THE CAR HAS NO POWER. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN MAINTAINED HIGHER THAN THE STANDARDS CALL FOR IN THE MANUAL. LOOKS LIKE CHRYSLER IS GOOD FOR ABOUT 40,000 MILES, THEN BE PREPARED TO SPEND SOME MONEY. I PLAN TO TRADE THE VEHICLE FOR A TOYOTA, THOUGH I HAD SUPPORTED AMERICAN MADE VEHICLES IN THE PAST, WITH A PRODUCT LIKE THIS, YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO. THE TOTAL COST THUS FAR HAS BEEN $600.00. IT APPEARS THAT CHRSYLER KNOWS THE PROBLEM EXISTS BECAUSE OF THE BULLETINS, YET THEY WILL NOT RECALL THE CAR ,AND DO WHAT IS RIGHT FOR THE CONSUMERS. PEOPLE CAN'T AFFORD TO PAY FOR A VEHICLE AND REPAIR IT AT THE SAME TIME WITH SO FEW MILES. THE PACIFICA IS A GREAT RIDING CAR ,AND I OTHERWISE THOROUGHLY ENJOYED IT. *AK

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. EVER SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED, THE AIR BAG SENSOR FAILS TO ACTIVATE WHEN AN OCCUPANT IS SEATED IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, REGARDLESS OF THEIR WEIGHT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE ARE TWO SENSORS IN THE SEAT THAT COULD NOT BE REPAIRED OR REPLACED BECAUSE THAT IS HOW THEY WERE DESIGNED BY THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 28,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 46,000. UPDATED 5/19/08 *CN THE CONSUMER ALSO COPLAINED ABOUT WIND NOISE. UPDATED

WE OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING EDITION. ABOUT 3 MONTHS AFTER WE BOUGHT IT (AND THE WARRANTY ENDED), WE NOTICED THAT THE ABS LIGHT WOULD COME ON. SOMETIMES IT WOULD STAY ON CONTINUOUSLY, SOMETIMES IT WOULD COME OFF AND ON. WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, AND YOU PRESS ON THE BRAKE, THE PEDAL BEGINS TO SHAKE A LITTLE, AND IT'S VERY HARD TO PUSH AND YOU HEAR A GRINDING NOISE. THE CAR DOES NOT STOP QUICKLY AT ALL, IT JUST SLOWS DOWN A TINY BIT. I'VE HAD MORE THAN 2 INSTANCES WHERE I PRESSED THE BRAKE RATHER FIRMLY AND IT DIDN'T SLOW DOWN ENOUGH AND I DIDN'T STOP UNTIL I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION. I HAD BOTH OF MY CHILDREN WITH ME AT THE TIME AS WELL!! WE TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER WHERE THEY TOLD US IT WOULD COST US ROUGHLY $80 AN HOUR FOR THEM TO FIGURE OUT WHAT WAS WRONG. WE JUST DON'T HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY RIGHT NOW. THE PROBLEM STILL HAPPENS FREQUENTLY, BUT THERE'S NOTHING WE CAN DO ABOUT IT. FROM THE RESEARCH I HAVE DONE ON THIS PROBLEM, IT IS A VERY LARGE PROBLEM WITH THE PACIFICAS. I'VE SEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ONLINE FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. PLEASE PUT A RECALL ON IT, SO THAT THOSE OF US WHO CAN'T AFFORD $80 AN HOUR CAN MAKE SURE OUR CHILDREN ARE SAFE ON THE ROADS. I'M AFRAID TO EVEN DRIVE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL FOR FEAR THAT THE BRAKES WILL COMPLETELY GO OUT. THANK YOU SO MUCH! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE ACCELERATING TO 5 MPH FROM THE IDLE POSITION, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT RESTARTED THE VEHICLE, BUT IT BEGAN TO HESITATE. THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE SHUTTING OFF. THE VEHICLE WAS DRIVEN HOME SLOWLY AND BROUGHT TO A DEALER THE FOLLOWING WEEK. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN AT THE DEALER FOR TWO WEEKS. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VEHICLE HAD MULTIPLE FAILURES, BUT NO REPAIRS HAD BEEN MADE. THE VEHICLE WAS STILL WAITING TO BE REPAIRED. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 26,525 ,AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 26,435. *AK

TL*- THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, AND STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING OUT OF A PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE SEIZED, CAUSING THE CONTACT TO LOSE CONTROL, AND RUNNING THE VEHICLE INTO A SMALL DITCH. THE CONTACT TOOK VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, AND THEY STATED THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT UNTIL THE INSURANCE COMPANY INVESTIGATED THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE CONTACT COULD NOT PROVIDE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE BOTH 18,000. *AK

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND WHILE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE THE AIR JAM DROPPED OFF OF THE VEHICLE AND I RAN OVER IT. AT THIS TIME I WAS GOING THE POSTED SPEED AND THERE WAS NO WEATHER CONDITIONS (HEAVY SNOW OR RAIN) WHICH COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE THE AIR JAM TO DROP. FORTUNATELY THERE WAS NO HARM DONE TO EITHER MYSELF, MY PASSENGERS OR THE OTHER VEHICLES NEARBY. A COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPUTY HAD FOUND THE PART ON THE HIGHWAY AND REMOVED IT IMMEDIATELY BECAUSE IT WAS TECHNICALLY IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE, THEN THE PART WAS DISPOSED. MY CONCERN IS OF THE AIR JAM/GUARD COMING OFF WITHOUT THE VEHICLE HAVING BEEN HIT OR AFFECTED BY ANY OTHER TRAUMA. THE DEALER/MANUFACTURER WOULD NOT COVER THIS UNDER THE VEHICLE WARANTY BECAUSE I WAS UNABLE TO PRODUCE THE PART WHICH WAS DISPOSED OF, WHICH - THEY CLAIM - MADE IT DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE IF IT WAS A DEFECT, OR NOT. THE DEALER ALSO MADE NO ATTEMPT TO INVESTIGATE THE INCIDENT, ASSUMING I WAS AT FAULT. I EVENTUALLY BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO A BODY SHOP WHERE THEY REPLACED A GREAT DEAL OF THE OF PARTS TO THE VEHICLE. THESE ARE AS FOLLOWS; ONE FRONT BUMPER COVER, ONE RET. BUMPER COVER, ONE LICENSE BRACKET, ONE FOG LAMP HARNESS, TWO FOG LAMPS, TWO FOG LAMP CLIPS, TWO INNER FENDERS. ALTHOUGH ALL OF THESE COMPONENTS WERE EVENTUALLY LOCATED, SOME PARTS WERE OBSOLETE WHICH REQUIRED REPLACEMENTS.

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN SHE PLACED FUEL IN THE VEHICLE, THE GAUGE SHOWED THAT THE TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WOULD ONLY TAKE A FEW GALLONS AND NOTHING MORE. SHE WOULD ATTEMPT TO FORCE MORE GAS INTO THE TANK, BUT IT WOULD SPILL OUT. THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON THE CONTACT DUE TO THE LACK OF GAS NOT INDICATED BY THE FUEL GAUGE. THE DEALER REPLACED THE LEVEL SENSORS THE FIRST TIME. THE SECOND TIME THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER, THEY REPLACED THE MODULAR FUEL PUMP AND THE PRIMARY PUMP. ON APRIL 20, 2007, THE DEALER REPAIRED THE HOSES ON THE FUEL LINE. ON MARCH 11, 2008, THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO FILL THE TANK, BUT IT ONLY TOOK SIX GALLONS. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE FUEL INDICATOR WENT TO EMPTY AND THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED BOTH FUEL PUMPS. THE DEALER INFORMED HER THAT SHE HAD NOT RUN OUT OF GAS. THE PURCHASE DATE WAS UNKNOWN. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 73,904 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,233.

BATTERY WOULD DIE AFTER HAVING DOOR OPEN FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME FOR LOADING/UNLOADING ITEMS. I HAD TO GET JUMP-STARTED 4 TIMES IN A 1-WEEK PERIOD. WHEN TAKEN TO "AUTOZONE" TO PURCHASE NEW BATTERY, THEY TOLD ME BATTERY WAS STILL GOOD THAT IT JUST NEEDED TO BE CHARGED. BUT WHEN IT CONTINUED DOING IT, I GOT ALTERNATOR CHECKED AND THEY STATED IT WAS BAD. NOW I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL SERVICE DEPT. CAN SEE ME FOR SERVICE. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT SHE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING FAILURES WITH THE FUEL TANK. WHENEVER SHE ATTEMPTS TO ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, IT WILL NOT TAKE MORE THAN FIVE GALLONS, AND THE DIAL NEVER INDICATES THAT IT IS MORE THEN 3/4 FULL. ALSO, THE DIAL WILL MOVE FROM HALF A TANK DOWN TO EMPTY WITHIN 60 MILES. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER MORE THAN SIX TIMES AND THEY REPLACED THE LEVEL KIT SENSOR, WHICH DID NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE. WITHIN WEEKS, THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP MODULE, WHICH ALSO DID NOT REPAIR THE FAILURE. A MONTH LATER THEY REPAIRED THE FULL TANK HOSES, BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. A YEAR LATER, THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS REPLACED ONCE AGAIN. AFTER ALL OF THESE REPAIRS, THE FAILURE HAS NOT YET BEEN PROPERLY CORRECTED. THE FAILURE IS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO STALL WHILE DRIVING 15 MPH. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 84,000.

WE HAVE VISITED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND DIFFERENT AUTO SHOPS SUCH AS PEP BOYS SEVERAL TIMES. THEY HAVE CHECKED THE TIRES FOR LEAKS. EACH PLACE WE VISITED WOULD TELL US THAT THE TIRES WERE FINE, THEY WOULD THEN FILL THEM UP AND WE WOULD GO ANOTHER DAY OR TWO AND THEN WOULD HAVE TO FILL THE TIRES UP AGAIN. FINALLY A TIRE STORE MANAGER AT WAL-MART FOUND THE PROBLEM: THE TIRES: MICHELIN PILOT HXMXM4 P235-55R19 ARE TOO SMALL FOR THE 19'' RIMS THAT THEY ARE MOUNTED ON. HE SHOWED US THAT THEY DO NOT COMPLETELY FILL THE RIM, AND THIS CAUSES THE TIRES TO LOOSE PRESSURE IF THE ROAD IS UNEVEN OR IF THERE ARE BUMPS IN THE ROAD. HE SHOWED US THE DIFFERENCE WITH TIRES ON OTHER CARS. HE EXPLAINED THAT THE SAME MODEL TIRES FROM FIRESTONE DO FILL UP THE RIM COMPLETELY AND SO NO AIR LEAKS WHEN YOU ENCOUNTER BUMPS IN THE ROAD OR UNEVEN ROADS. HE EXPLAINS THAT THIS PROBLEM WILL CONTINUE TO OCCUR UNLESS THE TIRES ARE CHANGED. FURTHERMORE HE EXPLAINED THAT THIS POSES A SERIOUS THREAT TO OUR SAFETY AS WE TRAVEL. I NEED THIS ISSUE TO BE RESOLVED TO MY SATISFACTION. THESE ARE SOME OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE TIRES ON THE MARKET AND THE CAR HAS 28,000 MILES ON IT. I EXPECT THE TIRES THAT COME WITH THE CAR TO LAST THE DURATION OF THEIR LIFE WITHOUT PROVIDING THESE TYPES OF PROBLEMS. I TRUST MY WIFE AND CHILDREN TO THE SAFETY OF THIS CAR AND AM DISTRAUGHT BY KNOWING THAT THE TIRES POSE THIS TYPE OF SAFETY THREAT. THESE TIRES NEED TO BE REPLACED AT THE EARLIEST POSSIBLE DATE. AS A CHRYSLER /MICHELIN CUSTOMER I DON''T AGREE THAT WE SHOULD PAY FOR SOMETHING THAT IS NOT OUR FAULT. PLEASE ADVISE WHICH DEALER WE CAN TAKE THE CAR TO GET THESE TIRES REPLACED AT NO COST AT YOUR EARLIEST CONVENIENCE. IN THE EVENT I AM NOT CONTACTED WITH 48 HOURS I WILL CONTACT DEPARTMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SAFETY AS WELL AS HIGHWAY SAFETY AND REQUEST A FULL INVESTIGATION. FURTHERMORE I AM PREPARED TO CONTACT ANY SAFETY GROUP TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT WITNESSED SMOKE RISING FROM BENEATH THE DASHBOARD AND THE VEHICLE CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT DIAGNOSED THE CAUSE AS AN ELECTRICAL FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER INSPECTED THE VEHICLE AND STATED THE FIRE WAS EXTERNAL. THE MANUFACTURER REFUSED TO PROVIDE THE CONTACT WITH A COPY OF THE INSPECTION REPORT. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGE WERE 47000. *AK

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT REGARDING MY 2005 PACIFICA AWD. IN NOV 06, THE VEHICLE STALLED COUPLE OF TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY AND BOTH TIMES, WE WERE VERY FORTUNATE TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. DURING THE SAME TIME, WE RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FROM CHRYSLER FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND PROMPTLY TOOK IT TO THE WARNOCK EAST HANOVER (NJ) DEALER (SAME PLACE WHERE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE) TO FIX IT. THEY FIXED THE STALLING RECALL ISSUE AND OTHER MINOR ISSUES AND SAID THAT IT'S DRIVABLE NOW AND ASSURED ME THAT IT WOULDN'T HAPPEN AGAIN. UNFORTUNATELY, WHILE I WAS DRIVING TODAY, IT STALLED AGAIN AND NEARLY AVERTED AN ACCIDENT. IT'S REALLY SCARY TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE ANY MORE. THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY 6000 MILES ON IT AS IT HAS BEEN PRIMARILY USED TO DROP MY DAUGHTER IN SCHOOL. NOW, MY WIFE DOES NOT WANT TO DRIVE IT AGAIN AS SHE IS SCARED TO DEATH TO DRIVE IT. I DON'T BLAME HER AS IT HAS STALLED THREE TIMES SO FAR AND WE CANNOT EVEN IMAGINE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE AGAIN WITH SUCH A HUMONGOUS SAFETY ISSUE! RIGHT NOW, THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER AND IS SITTING AT THE MERCY OF THE DEALERSHIP AS I TYPE THIS...*NM

CAR STALL OUT WHILE TURNING. *NM

ON FEBRUARY 9,2007 I WAS REAR ENDED AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED WHILE DRIVING MY CAR AT AROUND 45 MPH. THIS RESULTED IN MY KNEES SLAMING INTO THE DASH AREA AND THEN FALLING BACK VERY HARD IN MY SEAT, WHICH ENDED UP LAYING FLAT. *JB

SEVERAL PROBLEMS WITH REPLACING HEADLIGHTS ANNUALLY ABOUT THREE MONTHS APART SINCE OWNERSHIP 10/06, PROBLEM WITH ENGINE LIGHT REPEATEDLY COMING ON - WAS ADVISED BY CERTIFIED MECHANIC IT'S THE FUEL TANK, VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPLACE OR FIX. *TR

THE GLASS OF THE REAR WINDOW OF MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA SHATTERED AND EXPLODED OUT. I HAD PARKED THE CAR AT MY SCHOOL AND LOCKED IT. WHEN I CAME OUT AFTER CLASS I NOTICED THE WINDOW HAD TWO HOLES IN IT. I ORIGINALLY THOUGHT SOMEONE HAD HIT MY CAR, BUT WHEN I GOT CLOSER I SAW GLASS ON THE GROUND OUTSIDE MY CAR. A PERSON WALKING BY SAW THE WHOLE THING AND LEFT NOTE. HE WROTE THAT HE HEARD AND SAW MY WINDOW BREAK. HE SAID THERE WAS NOBODY NEAR THE CAR AT THE TIME. I BELIEVE THE GLASS IN THE PACIFICA IS DEFECTIVE. THE TEMPERATURE WAS AROUND 35 DEGREES. THERE WAS NO GLASS IN MY VEHICLE. IT WAS AS IF THE WINDOW JUST SHATTERED AND EXPLODED OUT. MY FEAR IS THAT THE REST OF MY WINDOWS WILL ALSO BE DEFECTIVE AND WILL SHATTER AND EXPLODE WHEN THE CAR IS OCCUPIED AND HURT SOMEONE. IF THIS PASSERBY HAD NOT WITNESSED THE SUA SPONTE SHATTERING I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT THAT SOMEONE JUST HIT MY CAR. I WONDER HOW MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE HAD THIS HAPPEN TO THEM WITHOUT WITNESSES AND JUST THOUGHT THEY HAD BEEN A VICTIM OF VANDALISM. *NM

CAR WOULD HESITATE WHEN STARTING, AND THEN JUST WOULD NOT START. WHEN SERVICE DEPT. TRIED, THEY SAID IT WORKED JUST FINE. BUT WHEN I GOT IT, IT DID THE SAME. IT WOULD HESITATE, THEN SHOOK A LOT, THEN JUST WOULD NOT START. NEEDED NEW STARTER.*JB

SINCE 2006, I'VE HAD TO TAKE MY CAR TO THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT BECAUSE OF ABS LIGHT TURNING ON AND OFF. AT THE TIME THIS OCCURS, THE BRAKES ALSO LOCK UP AND MAKE NOISES WHEN PRESSED. EACH TIME, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TELLS ME ITS A SENSOR AND WHEN REPLACED, IT STOPS DOING IT UNTIL THE NEXT TIME A "SENSOR" NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE SAY THERE ARE MULTIPLE SENSORS, AND EACH TIME IT APPEARS TO BE A DIFFERENT ONE. *JB

I PURCHASED A 2005 PACIFICA TOURING WITH AWD IN THE SUMMER OF 2006. THREE TIMES MY CAR HAS HAD DIFFICULTIES WHEN THERE WAS A DUSTING OF SNOW BLOWING OVER THE ROAD. THE 1ST INCIDENT WAS ON JAN. 24 2007, THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL AND FINALLY I WENT INTO A SPIN. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE OF A 2 LANE ROAD HEADING SOUTH. MY CAR SPUN IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT LANE, THROUGH THE DITCH, AND FINALLY ENDED UP IN THE TREES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DITCH. I SUFFERED ONLY MINOR INJURIES-NECK SPRAIN, BUT I TOOK OUT A HIGHWAY SIGN AND A TREE. DAMAGES TO MY CAR TOTALED OVER $11,000, I GOT IT BACK FROM THE BODY SHOP 1 MONTH AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE 2ND TIME I WAS BY MYSELF, THE 3RD TIME I HAD MY 1 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE BACK SEAT, BOTH TIMES I WASN'T DRIVING FAST, THE SECOND TIME IT KEPT SWAYING EVEN AFTER SLOWING DOWN TO 30 MPH. THIS HAS CAUSED ME A LOT OF CONCERN SO MY HUSBAND STARTED HAVING TO DRIVE ME TO WORK DURING THE WINTER MONTHS. NOW WE ARE PLANNING TO SELL THE PACIFICA BECAUSE OF THE POOR GAS MILEAGE. I DON'T FEEL COMFORTABLE SELLING THIS VEHICLE WITHOUT REASSURANCE THAT THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH IT. RECENTLY THE FRONT END HAS STARTED TO MAKE NOISE EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE ALSO. IT MAKES A LOW THUDDING SOUND THAT MAKES MY EARS FEEL LIKE THEY'RE GOING TO POP. MY HUSBAND TRIED PUTTING THE CAR IN NEUTRAL AND TURNING THE IGNITION OFF, BUT IT STILL KEPT MAKING THE NOISE. IT FIRST STARTED ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO AND I'VE HEARD IT THREE TIMES, WE'VE ALSO HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE BLINKERS FAILING TO TURN OFF.

BOUGHT 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN JULY 2006. SINCE THAT TIME I HAVE HAD NUMEROUS PROBLEMS WITH THE VEHICLE. WHEN THE GAS GAUGE IS AT APPROXIMATELY 1/3 TANK OF GAS IT SUDDENLY DROPS TO EMPTY AND BEGINS STALLING UPON TURNS. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY DID NOT KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM WAS AND ASKED ME TO BRING THE VEHICLE BACK WHEN IT WAS AT APPROXIMATELY 1/3 TANK SO THEY COULD DO TESTING. I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE ONE WHOLE DAY FOR THIS AND DID NOT HAVE TIME TO TAKE IT BACK AGAIN. NEXT, I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE THAT CLAIMED TO FIX THE STALLING PROBLEM. YESTERDAY I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN TO HAVE THE RECALL PERFORMED. AGAIN, I WAS WITHOUT MY VEHICLE ALL DAY. TODAY, AFTER THE RECALL, MY VEHICLE IS STILL HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. THE GAS GAUGE DROPPED SUDDENLY TO EMPTY AND BEGAN STALLING AT THIS POINT. THERE ARE OTHER PROBLEMS THAT MAY BE RELATED. AFTER THE CAR IS READING EMPTY AND I PROCEED TO PUT GASOLINE IN THE TANK IT WILL ONLY ALLOW 13 GALLONS TO BE PUMPED, THE OWNERS MANUAL CLAIMS THAT THE VEHICLE HAS A 23 GALLON TANK. HOWEVER, I HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO PUT MORE THAN 13 GALLONS OF GAS IN THE TANK. ALSO, EVERY NOW AND THEN WHEN I TRY TO PUT FUEL IN THE TANK, THE HOSE WILL CONTINUALLY SHUT OFF AS IF THE VEHICLE IS FULL. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS THE WHOLE TIME I AM FILLING UP AND I HAVE TO JUST KEEP ON CLICKING, CLICKING, CLICKING . . . TO GET THE GAS TO GO INTO THE VEHICLE. THESE PROBLEMS HAVE CAUSED OUR FAMILY MUCH DISTRESS AND THE STALLING IS A VERY REAL SAFETY ISSUE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP WITH THIS. SUSAN ASHCRAFT. *NM

RICK HENDRICK JEEP/CHRYSLER, NORTH CHARLESTON, SC DID NOT PERFORM THE NECESSARY JOB DUTIES TO REMEDY THE SAFETY RECALL OF THE FUEL PUMP ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE DEALER HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 4 DAYS, BUT THE RECALL WAS NOT PROPERLY CORRECTED WHICH CAUSED MAJOR DANGER TO MYSELF AND MY FAMILY! I FIRST BEGAN TO SMELL GAS ON TUESDAY EVENING AFTER I FILLED MY GAS TANK AND CONTINUED TO SMELL EXCESSIVE GAS ON WEDNESDAY SO I CALLED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT. I WAS TOLD TO BRING MY VEHICLE BACK TO BE CHECKED OUT, BUT THEY CLAIMED NOTHING WAS FOUND! SO I RETURNED HOME ON THEIR WORD. THE VERY NEXT DAY, THURSDAY, I PROCEEDED TO FILL MY GAS TANK AGAIN TO TAKE A ROAD TRIP OUT OF STATE THAT EVENING, BUT AS MY TANK WAS FILLING SO WAS THE GROUND OF THE GAS STATION...I WAS VERY UPSET AT THIS POINT!!!! I CALLED RICK HENDRICK'S SERVICE MANAGER WHO DIDN'T EXHIBIT ANY REMORSE FOR MY ENDANGERMENT! I WAS QUITE IRATE AT THIS POINT BECAUSE I FELT ENDANGERED AND WAS SUPPOSE TO BE ON MY WAY OUT OF TOWN, BUT COULD NOT LEAVE DUE TO RICK HENDRICK'S SERVICE DEPARTMENT LACK OF RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF ME AS A CUSTOMER SATIFACTORILY! I TOLD THE S.M. THAT I WANTED TO BE COMPENSATED FOR THE TWO GAS FILL-UPS THAT I HAD LOST DUE TO THEIR PROBLEM, BUT HE DID NOT COMPENSATE ME! MY VEHICLE AND MYSELF WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER, AND FINALLY THEY FOUND THAT THEY WERE AT FAULT...NOT MYSELF! THEY DID NOT PUT THE CORRECT SEAL ON MY VEHICLE, THEREFORE, THE GAS WAS LEAKING OUT! I WAS NOT TREATED SATISFACTORILY ONCE I ARRIVED AT THE DEALER. THIS WAS A TOTAL INCONVENIENCE TRAVELING 50 MILES EACH TIME FOR THEIR PROBLEM! I WANT COMPENSATION, AND A FORMAL APOLOGY FROM RICK HENDRICK! I ALSO CONTACTED THE GENERAL MANAGER WHO HAS NEVER CALLED ME BACK REGARDING THIS MATTER, THEREFORE, I WILL SEEK OTHER RECOURSES. I WILL DEFINITELY NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE TO PURCHASE A VEHICLE FROM THERE, AND I HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GIVE THEM MY BUSINESS ANY LONGER!
