2007 Chrysler Pacifica

SHE JUST DOESN'T LIKE TO START ON OCCASION. THE DEALER DIAGNOSES WAS IT NEEDED A NEW STARTER, TOOK ALL OF THREE MINUTES. HAD A NEW STARTER PUT IN, SAME ISSUE. NEW RELAY AND NEW SHIFTER ASSEMBLY WITH NEW SWITCH INSTALLED. PARTS DEPARTMENT SAID THEY SELL A "LOT" OF THESE. STILL NO RESOLUTION. SHE DOES NOT LIKE TO START ABOUT 2% OF THE TIME AND DOES SO AFTER RUNNING THE SHIFTER UP AND DOWN A FEW TIMES. I AM WORRIED AS I HAVE ASTHMA AND NEED A WORKING CAR TO GET TO HOSPITAL IMMEDIATELY WHEN ATTACK OCCURS. SO FAR BEEN LUCKY WITH TIMING OF NO STARTS. PLEASE HELP!!! *TR

WHEN I TRIED TO DRIVE MY CAR OUT OF MY GARAGE, I COULD NOT MOVE THE SHIFT LEVER OUT OF "PARK". I LATER LEARNED THAT A PART IN THE SHIFT LINKAGE ASSEMBLY HAD BROKEN. IN FACT, THIS BROKEN PART, A LOCKOUT OVER-RIDE, HAS BEEN REPLACED UNDER A RECALL OF ALL OTHER CHRYSLER AND DODGE PRODUCTS WHICH HAVE THIS PART INSTALLED. BUT FOR THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WHICH HAS THE IDENTICAL PART, NO RECALL HAS BEEN ISSUED. I HAVE BEEN DRIVING MY CAR AROUND, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO USE THE "PARK" POSITION OF THE SHIFT LEVER. IF I INADVERTENTLY PLACED THE SHIFT LEVER INTO "PARK", SAY AT A RAILROAD CROSSING, I WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO MOVE THE CAR! THIS A DANGEROUS AND SAFETY-RELATED PROBLEM, AND I WANT NHTSA TO FORCE CHRYSLER TO RECALL MY CAR AND ALL OTHER PACIFICA'S WITH THIS PROBLEM, AND REPLACE THIS LOCKOUT OVERRIDE. *TR

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA-FROM THE BEGINNING A POPPING AND CLICKING NOISE FROM THE TRANSMISSIONS/RESULTS FROM DEALERSHIP MOTOR MOUNTS WENT BAD REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE YEARS. ANOTHER ISSUE IS MY CAR IS JUST GO DEAD WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAYS/STREETS ETC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR OR SEE THE ISSUE. I KNOW IT'S SOMETHING WRONG AND THIS IS SCARY DRIVING THIS CAR. *JS

THE VEHICLE DIES--ESPECIALLY WHEN COASTING TOWARD A STOP SIGN OR LIGHT, OR DOWN HILLS--USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, THOUGH SEVERAL TIMES AT SPEEDS OF 40 MPH. THE POWER BRAKES AND POWER STEERING CEASE. THE ONLY OPTION IS TO SHIFT INTO NEUTRAL AND RESTART THE CAR. GOING AROUND CORNERS AT SPEEDS HIGHER THAT 25 IS DIFFICULT, THIS CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVERAL TIMES FOR THE SAME THING; THEY CAN'T REALLY FIND ANYTHING WRONG BUT HAVE CHARGED ME OVER $2500 THIS YEAR ALONE. I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE THIS AS THIS HAS BEEN HAPPENING ON NEARLY A DAILY BASIS. AND TAKING IT TO THE DEALER SEEMS FUTILE. IS THIS PART OF THE RECALL? I'D HATE TO SEE MY WIFE OR SOMEONE ELSE INJURED OR KILLED BECAUSE THE SAFETY SYSTEMS ON THE VEHICLE STOPPED WORKING AT THE SAME TIME--SUCH AS HAPPENED WITH THE GM PRODUCTS. UPDATED 3/3/2015 *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE WOULD EITHER SHIFT UPWARD OR DOWNWARD INDEPENDENTLY WITHOUT ANY WARNING. THE VEHICLE OCCASIONALLY FAILED TO SHIFT INTO GEAR AND IT STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WERE 97,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER ENGAGING THE COAST BUTTON ON THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED TO 70 MPH IN SECONDS. THE CONTACT APPLIED THE BRAKES AND WAS ABLE TO DEACTIVATE THE CRUISE CONTROL. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 97,000.

I WAS STOPPED AT A RED LIGHT. WHEN I PUT MY FOOT ON THE ACCELERATOR TO RESUME DRIVING, THE CAR BEGAN TO SHAKE AND THEN IT CUT OFF. I HAD TO PULL OVER AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. IF A CAR HAD BEEN DRIVING BEHIND ME FAST, I COULD HAVE GOTTEN HIT IN THE BACK WHICH COULD HAVE BEEN TRAUMATIC OR EVEN FATAL. I HAD TO HAVE THE CAR TOWED. THE DEALERSHIP THAT IT WAS TAKEN TO DIAGNOSED THE MAJOR PROBLEM AS THE 2 FUEL PUMPS NEEDED REPLACING; IN ADDITION TO OTHER ITEMS. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 126,000 MILES. THERE ARE OTHER PEOPLE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE PACIFICA (2006 AND 2008 MODELS AS WELL). CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT THAT THEIR FUEL PUMPS ARE FAULTY AND REPLACE THEM BEFORE A FATALITY HAPPENS AND, IN ADDITION TO REPLACING THE PUMPS, THEY ARE FACED WITH LAWSUITS. *TR

WHILE DRIVING MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IT WILL STALL. THIS OFTEN OCCURS AT SPEEDS LESS THAN 40MPH. THIS IS A SAFETY CONCERN AND WHEN I CALLED THE DEALER THEY DID NOT SEEM FAMILIAR WITH THE PROBLEM. THIS COULD VERY VELLUM RESULT IN A FATALITY SINCE THERE IS NO WARNING. THE CAR WILL LOOSE STEERING FUNCTION AFTER THE STALL AND I WILL NEED TO ATTEMPT TO PULL OUT OF TRAFFIC TO RESTART THE CAR. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE THAT THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT RECALLED THIS OR ATTEMPTED TO CORRECT THIS PROBLEM, WHICH SEEMS FAIRLY COMMON. *TR
