2007 Chrysler Pacifica Awd

CAR KEPT SHUTTING DOWN REGARDLESS OF SPEED. CHRYSLER SENT SPECIALIST TO DEFLECT SHIP AND REPLACED FUEL PUMPS. VEHICLE CONTINUED TO SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING. ATTEMPTED TO DRIVE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, BUT CRASHED ON THE WAY. CAR SHUT DOWN ON A CURVE, STEERING FAILED, BRAKES LOCKED HE HIT A TREE. THIS ACCIDENT COULD'VE BEEN A FATALITY. CAR WAS TOTALED! CHRYSLER IS NOT ASSUMING ANY RESPONSIBILITY AND CLOSED THE CASE. I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER ONE!!!! *TR

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

THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES SINCE FEBRUARY 1, 2014 (A PERIOD OF ABOUT SEVEN WEEKS). EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO GUIDE THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IN SPITE OF THE LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO MAJOR PROBLEM EACH TIME. ALSO, THE ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY REVVED AS THE VEHICLE LOST FORWARD MOMENTUM ON ONE OCCASION (ON A DATE PRECEDING THE FIFTH SHUTOFF EVENT), BUT REGAINED NORMAL OPERATION WITHIN SECONDS. ON THAT OCCASION I TOOK THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS; THEY UPDATED A COMPUTER MODULE. THE SHUTOFF HAS OCCURRED TWICE SINCE THE DEALER FIXED THE COMPUTER COMPONENT. ALL EVENTS OCCURRED WITHIN TWO TO FIVE MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS (COLD START?). MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A FREQUENTLY REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 PACIFICA, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE PROBLEM IN MODEL YEARS 2004 - 2006. I PROVIDED A PRINTOUT OF MY RESEARCH TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR FIVE BUSINESS DAYS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM BY PHONE TO CHRYSLER, BUT THEIR COMPLAINT LINE DOES NOT OFFER SOLUTIONS (AND APPARENTLY DOES NOT PROVIDE FEEDBACK). *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

WHILE DRIVING ON A SIDE ROAD IN TOWN, GOING BETWEEN 40-50 MPH, MY CAR SHIMMIED. I HAD TAKEN MY CAR TO A MECHANIC, AND HE FOUND THAT ALL 4 MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. THEY WERE REPLACED AND WITHIN 3 MONTHS, THEY WERE BROKEN AGAIN. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WAS CAUSING THE MOTOR MOUNTS TO BREAK. HE HAS REPLACED MY MOTOR MOUNTS A TOTAL OF 4 TIMES IN LESS THAN A YEAR. MY PACIFICA STILL SHIMMIES AND SHAKES WHEN ACCELERATING BETWEEN 40-50 MPH. WHEN I RELEASE THE GAS, IT WILL STOP, BUT SOMETIMES SHIMMIES WHEN I TOUCH THE GAS AGAIN. PASSED 50 MPH, THE CAR DOES NOT SHIMMY AND SHAKE. *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

JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FROM DODGE DEALERSHIP. ONE FOUR DIFFERENT OCCASIONS A COUPLE AT LOW SPEED <15 AND A COUPLE AT HIGHER SPEED >40 THE VEHICLE STALLS OR TURNS OFF. YOU LOSE POWER STEERING (HARD TO CONTROL) AND BRAKING(HARD TO PRESS PEDAL). NO ENGINE LIGHTS OR WARNING LIGHTS TO SHOW FAILURE ANYWHERE. VEHICLE STARTS RIGHT BACK UP AND MAY NOT DO IT AGAIN FOR WEEKS. FROM WHAT I HAVE BEEN READING THERE IS NO SURE FINDINGS TO THE CAUSE AND MAYBE A TSB OUT THERE BY NOW SHOWS THE PROBLEM. I AM WORRIED ABOUT THE QUALITY OR SAFETY OF MY FAMILY SHOULD THE WIFE BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A RATE OF SPEED AND IT CUT OUT ON HER AND SHE PANIC OR BE IN RUSH TRAFFIC. IT NOT ONLY ENDANGERS HER BUT ANY VEHICLE AROUND HER. BEFORE I TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND PAY LOTS OF MONEY I DON'T HAVE I NEED TO KNOW WHAT MY OPTIONS ARE AND WHY IT APPEARS THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE AND NOT RESOLVED. IF YOU PUT IN GOOGLE 2007 PACIFICA AWD STALLING WHILE DRIVING YOU GET MORE THAN ENOUGH RESPONSES AND IT LED ME TO HERE EVEN. I WOULD WHOLE HEARTEDLY APPRECIATE ANY AND ALL INFORMATION AND ACTIONS I CAN DO TO GET THIS FIXED AND RESOLVED FOR MY FAMILY. *TR
