2005 Chrysler Pacifica Fuel System Problems

GAS TANK JUMPS TO EMPTY WHEN IT REACHES HALF A TANK. FUEL NOT BEING TRANSMITTED PROPERLY AND CAUSES THE CAR TO STOP RUNNING

MY FUEL GAUGE IS NOT READING ANYTHING WHEN IT'S ON FULL I LOOKED OTHER RECALLS BACK IN THOSE TIMES AND THAT THE FUEL PUMP WHICH IS THE PRIMARY WASN'T READING THE SECONDARY FUEL PUMP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD SHUT OFF EACH TIME AFTER DISPENSING 2/10 OF A GALLON OF FUEL. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED FALSE READINGS THAT INDICATED THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO NO FUEL. ALSO, THE FUEL MILEAGE RANGE DISPLAYED FALSE INFORMATION, INDICATING THAT THE FUEL MILEAGE RANGE WAS 120 MILES BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO A LACK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED FILTERS AND VALVES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE CAR WILL JUST GO FROM HALF OF A TANK TO E. MY HUSBAND AND SON WERE STRANDED, BECAUSE WHEN THEY LEFT THE HOUSE IT WAS AT A HALF AND THEN DROPPED ALL THE WAY DOWN TO E, CAR STOPPED. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I AM VERY UPSET. WE HAVE TAKEN THE CAR BACK TO THE CAR LOT AT LEAST 5 TIMES, THE FUEL PUMP WAS REPLACED X 2, THEN THEY CHANGED THE FUEL SENSOR. THE CAR HAS NEVER STOPPED DROPPING DOWN TO E. THIS IS VERY FRUSTRATING, CHRYSLER SHOULD RECALL THESE CARS. PLZ HELP ME AND THOUSAND MORE THNX AND GOD BLESS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO INTAKE FUEL WHEN THE NOZZLE WAS INSERTED IN THE FUEL TANK. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INCORRECTLY READ HALF FULL, BUT IT WAS EMPTY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

CAR STALL WHEN MAKING SHARP LEFT HANDS TURNS. IT HAS DONE THIS TWO CONSECUTIVE DAYS IN A ROW. I SEARCHED THE VIN ON CHRYSLER AND THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS. THE FOUND THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ON 2005 PACIFICA'S BUT I AM UNABLE TO FIND OUT IF MINE WAS EVER CORRECTED. *TR

MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ON JULY 30 2014. AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL. I TOLD THEM MY VEHICLE IS STALLING AS IM GOING OVER 50MPH MY GAS TANK GOES FROM HALF FULL TO EMPTY AND THE E LIGHT TURNS ON. IF I DON'T RUSH TO THE GAS STATION MY CAR WILL DIE AS IF IT HAD NO FUEL LEFT. ( LEAVING ME STRANDED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. WITH MY CHILDREN ). WHEN I DO PUT GAS IN ITS VERY SLOW AND I HAVE TO HOLD THE BAR BACK ON THE GAS PUMP ITSELF OR MY CAR WILL TURN THE PUMP HANDLE OFF. MY RPM JUMPS UP AND DOWN AS IM ACCELERATING. IT FEELS LIKE MY ENGINE IS HESITATING. MY GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE TO TAP IT WITH MY FOOT TO UNSTICK IT. HOW IS THIS EVEN SAFE. TO RECALL SOME AND NOT OTHERS. I'M A STAY AT HOME MOTHER TO 3 BOYS UNDER THE AGE OF 5 YEARS OLD. I READ ONLINE THE HORROR STORIES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND YEAR MAKE MODEL EVERYTHING AND CHRYSLER IS NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM. PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE ME AND MY CHILDREN AND EVERYONE ELSE BEFORE A SERIOUS ACCIDENT IS TO HAPPEN. AS OF RIGHT NOW MY CAR IS STATE INSPECTED. BUT I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT ANYMORE I SO NOT WANT TO RISK THE SAFETY OF MY CHILDREN'S LIVES. *TR

CAR BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH CA GAGE AND FUEL. CAR WAS JUST FILLED AND ONLY ALLOWED 3 GALLONS IN BUT SAID FULL ON GAUGE. CAR WENT ABOUT 5 MILES BEFORE COMPLETELY SHUTTING OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN ROAD CAUSING JERK FORWARD FOR DRIVER. UPDATED 4/24/2015 *JS

MY VEHICLE ALL OF A SUDDEN STARTED TO REFLECT AN EMPTY TANK AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF DRIVING AFTER PUTTING ABOUT A HALF A TANK OR MORE OF FUEL IN THE TANK. I HAD ONE OF THE FUEL PUMPS REPLACED AND IT SEEMED TO HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM FOR A WEEK OR SO AND THEN IT WAS DOING THE SAME THING AGAIN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE FUEL GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY WHEN THERE WAS STILL FUEL IN THE CYLINDER. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL TANK FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. TE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 147,454.

BEFORE A LEAVE MY TOWN, I TRIED TO PUT SOME GAS ON MY TANK BUT CAR TOOK ONLY 15 DOLLARS WORTH OF GAS. I THEN ASSUMED THAT THE THANK WAS FULL AND THEN WENT ON MY TRIP. I DROVE FOR ABOUT FIFTEEN MINUTES AND MY GAUGE THAT WAS FULL DROPPED TO HALF TANK. IT WAS WEIRD BUT I KEPT ON DRIVING SINCE I HAD HALF TANK OF GAS. I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY WHEN AFTER TWENTY MINUTES, THE GAUGE DROPPED TO EMPTY AND SINCE THE GAS STATION WAS NOT NEARBY, I KEPT ON DRIVING TO FIND SOME GAS AND THE CAR JUST STOPPED BECAUSE IT WAS OUT OF GAS. WHEN I WENT TO THE MECHANICS, THEY SAID THAT ONE THE CAR HAS TWO TANKS AND THAT ONE WAS EMPTY AND ONE FULL. THEY ALSO SAID THAT THE PROBLEM IS COMMON TO PACIFICAS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THOSE CARS BEFORE SOMEBODY GETS HURT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE INDEPENDENTLY DECELERATE TO 30 MPH. THE CONTACT DEPRESSED THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL BUT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 5 MPH. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A LOCAL MECHANIC, WHO REPLACED THE FUEL PUMP FILTER AND FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR HOWEVER THE FAILURE WAS NOT CORRECTED. THE MANUFACTURER ADVISED THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 105,000.

WHEN PARKING OR LOW SPEED 2 TO 5 MPH THE GAS PEDAL STICK YOU HAVE TO HIT IT HARD IT HAPPEN TO THE WIFE TWO TIMES AND NOW SHE DOSE NOT LIKE DRIVING IT HAPPEN TO ME 3 OR 4 TIMES. THE 1ST TIME SHE SAID WHAT IS THE MATTER WITH YOU. HAS THIS HAPPEN TO OTHER PEOPLE [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I AM CONTINUOUSLY HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. IT CONSTANTLY RUNS OUT OF GAS EVEN THOUGH I MAY HAVE RECENTLY PUT GAS IN. THE GAUGE IS ALWAYS FLOATING BETWEEN EMPTY AND FULL, BUT WITHIN DRIVING FOR A FEW MINUTES IT WILL DROP DOWN ON "E" AND THE GAS LIGHT COMES ON. I'VE HAD THE FUEL LINE AND TANK CHECKED FOR BLOCKAGE, BUT THE CERTIFIED MECHANIC SAYS THAT THERE'S NOTHING BLOCKING EITHER. I MUST MAKE FREQUENT STOPS TO PUT GAS IN AGAIN, BUT AT NO TIME WILL IT ALLOW ME TO PUMP MORE THAN $10-$15 WORTH OF GAS (REGARDLESS OF THE GAS PRICES). KNOWING THAT I'VE JUST PUT GAS IN, I'LL CONTINUE TO DRIVE A WHILE, BUT THEN THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO SLOW DOWN BECAUSE IT HAS SHUT DOWN AND THE LOW FUEL LIGHT WILL EITHER COME ON OR BE ON. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS OR MAYBE A RECALL THAT EFFECTS MY VEHICLE AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT ELSE TO DO TO GET HELP ON THIS PROBLEM. *TR

DRIVING HOME ON HIGHWAY WITH THREE CHILDREN IN THE CAR. GAS GAUGE SUDDENLY DROPS FROM1/2 TANK TO EMPTY AND CAR STALLS IMMEDIATELY ON THE HIGHWAY. I AM TOWED TO A GAS STATION WHERE I TRY TO PUT GAS INTO THE TANK AND AM ONLY ABLE TO PUT A GALLON OR TWO IN AT A TIME AS IF THE TANK WERE FULL. PAST 6 MONTHS, THE GAS GAUGE IS INCONSISTENT, DROPS FROM 1/2 TO EMPTY AND AM UNABLE TO PUT MORE THAN A GALLON OR TWO IN AT A TIME. MECHANICS AS WELL AS MYSELF CONTACT CHRYSLER WHO CLAIM THAT THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE. I LOOK ON-LINE AND SEE THAT PACIFICA'S HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM. I ASK THAT YOU LOOK INTO HOW MY PACIFICA IS DIFFERENT FROM THE ONES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. IT IS THE SAME YEAR AS OTHERS THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED AND IS DOING THE EXACT SAME THING AS THOSE ON THE RECALL LIST. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHENEVER HE REFUELED THE VEHICLE, GASOLINE WOULD SPEW FROM THE FILLER NECK VALVE DESPITE THE AMOUNT OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE OR THE AMOUNT BEING ADDED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE PROBLEM RECURRED WHENEVER REFUELING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO WAS UNABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000.

MY GAS PEDAL STICKS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR OR AFTER I STOP THE CAR AT A LIGHT OR SIGN. WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, I HAVE TO PUSH HARD ON THE PEDAL,WHICH MAKES THE CAR LURCH FORWARD. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, IT GETS STUCK AND I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TECH KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, SAID THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY THAT GETS OLD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR 200 BUCKS. IF THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE MAJORITY OF THE PACIFICAS, WHY DO THE CONSUMERS NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THIS IS A STRICT LIABILITY NEGLIGENCE, NOT MY FAULT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT FUEL WOULD SPILL FROM OF THE FUEL TANK WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS BEING REFUELED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LEAK WAS COMING FROM UNDER THE TANK WHERE THE FUEL LINES WERE CLAMPED DOWN. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INSPECTED OR REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

1) WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL ABOUT 1/4" IT CATCHES OR STICKS. 2) YOU MUST FORCE THE PEDAL DOWN TO "UNSTICK" CAUSING A RAPID ACCELERATION OF THE VEHICLE 3) DEALER SAYS ITS A DEFECTIVE THROTTLE BODY, AND NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY OR RECALL. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHYRSLER PACIFICA. THE GAS PEDAL IS STICKING. IT STICKS HARD ENOUGH THAT YOU HAVE TO FORCEFULLY PUSH THE ACCELERATOR PEDDLE DOWN. THIS CAUSES UNWANTED RAPID ACCELERATION! THE PROBLEM IS GETTING WORSE IN THE PAST THREE WEEKS. THE PEDAL HAS GOTTEN STUCK FOUR TIMES. I WAS BACKING OUT OF A PARKING SPACE AND THE CAR ACCELERATED IN REVERSE. UNSURE, IF MY FAMILY CAR IS SAFE, FOR MY FAMILY.
