ON THE SECOND OCCASION, THE DEALER DUPLICATED THE FAILURE AND REPLACED THE THROTTLE BODY. ON THE THIRD OCCASION, THE EMISSIONS INDICATOR ILLUMINATED AND AN ERRONEOUS EVAPORATION CODE APPEARED. THE COMPUTER WAS RESET AT THAT TIME. ON THE FOURTH VISIT TO THE DEALER, THREE LOOSE ELECTRICAL GROUNDS WERE FOUND AND TIGHTENED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE PREVIOUS OWNER ALSO EXPERIENCED THE FAILURES, BUT THE MANUFACTURER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 21,150 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 23,250.

MY NEW 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS AND NOTHING BUT TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS! I HAD A TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED AT LESS THAN 1000 MILES AND HAVE HAD IT IN TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION LOOKED AT TWICE IN THE PAST 6 MONTHS. THE FIRST TIME WAS TOLD NOTHING WAS WRONG- THE SECOND TIME THEY "FLASHED" SOMETHING BASED ON A SERVICE BULLETIN. THE TRANSMISSION HAS CONTINUALLY SHIFTED VERY HARD FROM GEAR TO GEAR. THIS MORNING, THE TRANSMISSION IS OUT COMPLETELY AND THE CAR WILL NOT SHIFT AT ALL. *TR

SEPTEMBER 8, 2008, MY WIFE WAS DRIVING OUR 2007 PACIFICA. POWER STEERING FAILED, SHE ATTEMPTED TO PARK THE CAR IN A PARKING SPACE IN FRONT OF A RETAIL STORE. SMOKE APPEARED FROM HOOD AREA, FLUID LEAKED OUT FROM UNDER FRONT END, FLAMES ERUPTED. FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS THERE IN SEVERAL MINUTES TO EXTINGUISH THE BLAZE, BUT NOT BEFORE DAMAGE WAS DONE TO THE BUILDING AND ANOTHER VEHICLE PARKED NEXT TO THE PACIFICA. FRONT END OF CAR COMPLETELY BURNED. CHRYSLER ORDERED AN INSPECTION CONDUCTED BY AN INDEPENDENT ADJUSTER. CLAIMS RESULTS ARE INCONCLUSIVE AND HAS ORDERED ANOTHER INSPECTION. OBVIOUSLY THIS IS NOT THE FIRST REPORT OF FIRE CAUSED BY POWER STEERING FLUID LEAK. WE HAVE WAITED PATIENTLY FOR OVER FIVE WEEKS. CHRYSLER SUGGEST WE SETTLE WITH OUR INSURANCE COMPANY. I AM NOT WILLING TO DO THAT WHEN IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DEFECT AND THE CAR IS IN WARRANTY. THE CAR ONLY HAD APPROXIMATELY 13,000 MILES. *TR

I PURCHASED A '07 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FEBRUARY. I'VE HAD NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR. I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNT REPLACED. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH IT SHUTTERING AND ACTING AS THOUGH IT DOESN'T SHIFT BETWEEN 30-35 MPH. I'VE HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER REPLACED ON IT AS WELL. AFTER THAT I'VE HAD TO HAVE THE TIE RODS REPLACED, AND THE STRUTS. SINCE I'VE NOTICED THAT ALMOST EVERYONE IS HAVING THE TORQUE CONVERTER AND MOTOR MOUNT PROBLEMS AS WELL AS OTHER CHRYSLER VEHICLES THIS SHOULD BE ADDRESSED. SINCE I'VE HAD THE TORQUE CONVERTER REMOVED WHILE IT WAS STILL IN SHOP I GET MY CAR BACK AND WHEN YOU LET GO OF THE STEERING WHEEL IT VEERS COMPLETELY TO THE LEFT. NOW THE DEALERSHIP IS TRYING TO CLEAN THEIR HANDS AND SAYING IT'S A DEFECT WITH THE CAR; THEY HAVE TO CONTACT CHRYSLER. HELLO-IT DIDN'T DO THIS BEFORE I TOOK IT IN AND NOW IT IS SINCE THEY'VE 'FIXED' IT. IT'S ACTUALLY UNBELIEVABLE SINCE SO MANY CAR MANUFACTURERS ARE FAILING YOU'D THINK THEY'D RECALL THIS PROBLEM, FIX IT AND KEEP WHAT REPUTATION THEY HAVE LEFT. *TR

MY CAR WON'T START AT LEAST 4 TIMES A WEEK. YOU WILL BE DRIVING AND IT ALMOST STALLS. THE GAS TANK FLUCTUATED AND DOES NOT READ THE RIGHT AMOUNT. ALSO WHEN IN REVERSE IT HAS TAKEN OFF ON IT'S OWN AT A VERY HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I HAVE HAD IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP 25 DAY AND 15 TIMES IN 9 MONTHS AND THEY HAVE REPLACED THE MAP SENSOR, THE PCM & BCM, THE FUEL INJECTORS, SEVERAL SENSORS AND FILTERS ALL TO NO AVAIL AND THIS WAS ALL JUST FOR THE NOT STARTING. WE SENT IN THE LEMON LAW PAPERWORK AND CHRYSLER REFUSED TO CALL US BACK VIA THE DEALERSHIP AND REFUSES TO TALK TO US WHEN WE CALL THE 800 NUMBER. LOOKING AT OTHER FORUMS THERE ARE SEVERAL PEOPLE WITH THIS SAME PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER ALSO IGNORES THEIR COMPLAINTS. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. IN JULY OF 2007, WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THE DEALER PERFORMED A DIAGNOSTIC AND FOUND NO FAILURES WITH THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CONTINUED TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED AT HER LAST VISIT THAT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS DEFECTIVE. IN OCTOBER OF 2007, THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AND LATER REPLACED AGAIN IN JULY OF 2008. IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING BOTH REPAIRS, THE VEHICLE CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE THE SAME FAILURE. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE MADE A CLICKING NOISE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO ANOTHER DEALER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE UPPER STRUT MOUNT AND BEARINGS WERE DEFECTIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE STILL PERSISTS. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 22,750 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 900. THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO HIGH GEAR IN A TIMELY MANNER OR SMOOTHLY UPON ACCELERATION. THE LOWER GEAR SHIFTING WAS VERY ROUGH. UPDATED 11/26/08. *JB
