2007 Chrysler Pacifica

THE CAR CONTINUES TO STALL AT LOW SPEEDS. WE HAVE TAKEN TO MECHANIC AND THEY DO NOT FIND ANY SERVICE ALERTS, AND WEREN'T ABLE TO DUPLICATE ON A TEST DRIVE. IT IS STARTING TO PICK UP IN FREQUENCY TO WHERE IT IS DOING IT EVERY OTHER DAY NOW. I ALSO CALLED THE SERVICE GROUP AT THE CHRSYLER DEALER I PURCHASED IT FROM, AND THEY SAID THEY CAN ONLY DO WHAT I HAD ALREADY DONE WITH THE OTHER MECHANIC SHOP. I WENT TO THE CHRYSLER FORUM TO POST AND SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAD EXPERIENCED THIS, AND SEE NUMEROUS POSTINGS OF THIS ISSUE OVER THE YEARS. I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY, AS WHEN THE CAR STALLS, IT LOCKS UP AND I LOSE CONTROL. I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND RESTART.

I PURCHASED MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON 06-05-07, WITHIN THREE DAYS I NOTICED THAT EVERYTIME I LOCKED THE CAR AND OPEN IT, THE DRIVER'S SEAT AND BOTH SIDE MIRRORS WOULD ADJUST THEMSELVES ON THEIR OWN. I TOOK THE CAR BACK AND THE DEALER ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM AND EVENTUAL DISCONNECTED THE COMPUTER THAT CONTROLLED THE SEAT ADJUSTMENT. NEEDLESS TO SAY THIS DID NOT WORK. ON JULY 13, 2007, WHILE AT WORK, I WAS DOING HOME VISITS. I WAS RUNNING BEHIND AND FORGOT TO READJUST THE MIRRORS WHEN I GOT IN THE CAR. WHILE BACKING UP I HIT A MAIL BOX CAUSING $1,000.00 DAMAGE TO THE CAR. I WENT BACK TO THE DEALER AND INFORMED THEM OF THE ACCIDENT, THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD HAVE TO CONTACT THE MANUFACTURER AS THEY DID NOT KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM.
