2007 Chrysler Pacifica Awd

TAKATA RECALL. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT ON FRIDAY AND MADE A NOISE, THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE BROUGHT TO TIRE PLACE AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAS CRACKS IN IT. WE HAD THE TRANSFER CASE GO BAD IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND REPLACED IT WITH A COST OF OVER $2,000.00. NOW THE TRANSFER CASE CRACKED AND CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT IT HAS A 3YR 100,000 WARRANTY ON IT AND WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER UNDER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE OFF 1/8" OF AN INCH WHICH MADE IT CRACK, NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HEARD THAT TIRES BEING LOW ON PRESSURE OR WORN CAUSE PIECES OF YOUR CAR TO CRACK!! THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.

ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR THE VEH WAS DRIVING VERY SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT RESUME NORMAL UNTIL REACHING 50MPH, THEN THE NEXT WEEK WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35MPH THE VEH BEGAN SHAKING VERY BAD FORCING ME TO DROP SPEED TO ABOUT 15MPH. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A REAR DRIVE SHAFT AND ENGINE MOUNTS AND FROM WHAT I HEAR THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHS. DRIVE SHAFT IS WELL OVER $1000.00 NOT TO MENTION LABOR, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO THE GAS STATION TO PUT GAS IN IT AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AS I WAS PULLING UP TO THE GAS STATION AND THERE WAS A CAR COMING TOWARDS ME AND THE CAR HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY. I HAD TO LITERALLY STOP MY CAR AND RUN TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR THAT WAS COMING TOWARDS ME IN ORDER TO PREVENT AND ACCIDENT OF THE CAR RUNNING INTO MY CAR. I KNOW IT HAD ENOUGH FUEL I KEEP MY TANK FULL AND JUST WANTED TO FILL IT ALL THE WAY UP SINCE I HAD EXTRA FUNDS THAT WEEK. EVER SINCE THE SHUT OFF THE CAR HAD BEEN SPUTTERING AND HAVING TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR AND IT HAS BEEN A DISAPPOINTMENT, ONE AFTER THE OTHER!!!!! THEN THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT END WHERE YOU HEAR A POPPING SOUND IF YOU SHOULD HAVE TO UNEXPECTEDLY HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES OR IF YOU GO OVER A SPEED BUMP. *TR

CURRENTLY MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING AWD HAS 31,008 MILES ON IT. I HAVE HAD THE FOLLOWING PROBLEMS SEPTEMBER 11, 2008 AT 2660 MILES, ROCKER ARM, VALVE REPLACED 4.0 LITER. CRACKED BLACK PLASTIC UPPER RADIATOR PANEL. OCTOBER 27, 2011 MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS TO DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE VEHICLE ACTING LIKE IT WANTED TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. JULY 14, 2012 MILES: 22,574 FRONT/REAR DIFFERENTIAL SHOWS A NEED FOR IMMEDIATE ATTENTION. FEBRUARY 12.2013, SHOWED REAR DIFFERENTIAL LEAKING. SEPTEMBER 27, 2013, MILES 29.120 SHOWS PROBLEM WITH REAR DIFFERENTIAL. JANUARY 1, 2014 MILES: 31,006 VEHICLE TOWED TO DEALERSHIP AND WAS DIAGNOSTIC FOR A DRIVE SHAFT ASSEMBLY NEEDED, PART#5157008AE. SECOND OPINION GIVEN BY MASTER ASE TECHNICIAN GIVE ON 01-14-2014, MILES: 31,008, STATES TRANSFER CASE/PTU IS CRACKED AND FLUID IS LEAKING. RECOMMENDATIONS: TRANSFER CASE/PTU AND REAR DRIVESHAFT ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED WITH A NEW AND IMPROVED TYPE UNIT BECAUSE RESEARCH SHOW THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THIS VEHICLE. *TR

I WAS DRIVING ALONG AND ALL OF A SUDDEN IT SOUNDED LIKE MY TIRED POPPED AND THE CAR JERKED AND THAN FELT LIKE IT WAS DRAGGING ALONG AND KEPT MAKING A POPPING NOISE UNTIL I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED TO THE GARAGE. TRANSFER CASE HAD BLOWN. TRANSFER CASE WAS REPLACED AND LESS THAN A YEAR LATER IT WENT AGAIN, THIS TIME I WAS GOING 55MPH AND NEARLY WENT OFF THE ROAD. TRANSFER CASE WAS AGAIN REPLACED. I ASKED THE GARAGE WHY THEY THOUGHT IT KEPT DOING THIS AND THEY SAID THEY DID NOT KNOW..MY TIRES ARE ALL THE SAME SIZE. ICHANCES OF IT GOING AGAIN ARE VERY LIKELY. VERY UNSATISFIED WITH THIS VEHICLE, I'VE HAD THE CARBURETOR REPLACED, THE RIGHT BEARING REPLACED, THE TRANSFER CASE TWICE AND I'VE ONLY OWNED IT 3 YEARS. I WILL NEVER BUY A CHRYSLER ANYTHING AGAIN. *TR

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE. AROUND 60,000 MILES THE CAR DIED SEVERAL TIMES WHICH WAS FIXED. THEN 2/11/2013 THE CAR HAD A PROBLEM WITH I BELIEVE WAS THE FUEL LINE. CAR WOULD ACT LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE AND SMOKING LIKE CRAZY WHEN PRESSED GAS, SMELLED LIKE GAS.. WE GOT IT TO THE DEALER SERVICE AND THE FIXED IT - COST $1100. 3 WEEKS LATER WHILE GETTING ONTO A FREEWAY IN TRAFFIC, I PRESSED THE GAS TO ACCELERATE, HEARD A BANG LIKE SOMETHING BLEW UP IN THE ENGINE, CAR WAS SMOKING IN THE EXHAUST AND THE IMMEDIATELY DIED. IT WAS TOWED TO THE DEALER WHERE WE WERE LATER INFORMED A ROD HAD COME LOOSE AND PUT A GASH IN THE ENGINE AND OIL PAN. CALLED IT A CATASTROPHIC FAILURE AND ONLY FIXED AT ENORMOUS COST. CAR DEAD AT 82,625 MILES. 5 YEARS OLD. IF THIS "ROD" WOULD HAVE BROKE LOOSE ANY OTHER TIME OR WHILE DRIVING FASTER IN MIDDLE LANE, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED, SINCE IT WAS RUSH HOUR. I HAD 2 YOUNG KIDS WITH ME AT THE TIME. CHRYSLER IS PUTTING LIVES AT RISK WITH FAULTY PRODUCTS. PURCHASED BRAND NEW, MAINTAINED AND DID ALL REQUIRED MAINTENANCE THROUGH DEALER. HAD TO PURCHASE NEW CAR, NOT A CHRYSLER. *TR
