DT*: THE CONTACT STATED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS STARTED, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED AND DIED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE STARTED, AND WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, FLAMES WERE OBSERVED COMING FROM THE UNDERSIDE OF THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT. THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED, AND THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A SERVICE DEALER. THE DEALER WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS ALSO NOTIFIED. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED CONSTANTLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SERVICE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES, HOWEVER THE DEALER WAS STILL UNABLE TO DETERMINE ANY PROBLEMS. SINCE THAT TIME, WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE ENGINE SPUTTERED BRIEFLY ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. ON ONE OCCASION, THE VEHICLE SPUTTERED AND STALLED COMPLETELY. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY AND WAS DRIVEN TO A DIFFERENT SERVICE DEALER, WHO REPLACED PARTS OF THE FUEL SYSTEM AND THE OXYGEN SENSOR. THE PROBLEMS PERSISTED. THERE WAS A NHTSA RECALL #06V432000, WHICH PERTAINS TO THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL DUE TO THE VIN.

ANOTHER TIME, THE RIGHT AXLE CAME OFF AND THE CAR ROLLED DOWN A HILL AND NEARLY HIT A WOMAN. I COULD HAVE KILLED PEOPLE MANY TIMES WITH THE PACIFICA SINCE IT IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE. I FOUND OUT THAT MANY PEOPLE HAVE THESE EXACT SAME ISSUES.

THEY TOLD ME THEY COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THEY TOLD ME I COULD PICK UP THE CAR. I ASKED THEM TO DRIVE IT. THEY NOW FOUND THE PROBLEM AND CLAIM THE MOTOR MOUNT WAS BROKEN. THEY SAID IT HAPPENED BECAUSE OF A FENDER BENDER I WAS IN. THE FENDER BENDER OCCURRED TWO MONTHS AFTER PURCHASING THE CAR AND I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IT TWO YEARS SINCE THAT EVENT WITHOUT A PROBLEM. 4- MY HEADLINER KEEPS SAGGING WHERE THE HEADLINER MEETS THE MOONROOF.

WHILE I AM DRIVING AND IF MY AIR CONDITIONER IS ON THERE IS A DRAMATIC LOSS OF POWER TO THE ENGINE, IF I AM AT A STOP LIGHT AND HAVE TO CLIMB A HILL FROM A COMPLETE STOP I IN MOST CASES HAVE TO TURN THE POWER TO MY AIR OFF SO THE ENGINE WILL INCREASE ITS POWER AND I CAN CLIMB THE HILL. IF I DO NOT TURN THE AIR OFF THE RPMS RACE UP REALLY HIGH AND I AM ONLY GOING MAYBE 20 MILES PER HOUR AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL NOT SHIFT AND THE ENGINE IS ROARING. SO ONCE TO THE TOP OF THE HILL IT FINALLY SHIFTS BUT EXTREMELY HARD AS THOUGH SOMETHING UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE JUST BROKE.. ANOTHER THING THAT HAPPENS IS ALSO A PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND HOW HARD IT HITS WHEN IT SHIFTS, IT HAS ALWAYS SEEMED LIKE IT WAS NOT FLUID AND EASY AS IT SHOULD BE. ALMOST AS THOUGH IT IS DIFFICULT FOR IT, ESPECIALLY COMING DOWN FROM ABOUT 35 MILES PER HOUR AND LOWER DOWN INTO THE SECOND TO 1ST GEARS. IT WORRIES ME THAT A VEHICLE IN ITS PRICE RANGE AND CONSIDERING WHAT I PAID FOR IT THAT IT SHOULD BE MORE OF A JOY AND COMFORT FOR ME TO OWN AND DRIVE THAN IT IS. I AM AFRAID THAT ONE DAY THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS GOING TO COMPLETELY STOP SHIFTING SINCE IT IS SUCH A STRUGGLE FOR IT TO DO SO... WHAT ARE THE RULES FOR A CONSUMER THAT BELIEVES THEY HAVE A VEHICLE WITH DEFAULTS OR A LEMON? IS THERE ANYTHING A CONSUMER CAN DO ? *JB

ON FEBRUARY 27, 2006 RQ06-002 WAS OPENED IN RESPONSE TO 60 COMPLAINTS OF ENGINE STALL, MOSTLY DURING LEFT-HAND TURNS, IN MODEL YEAR (MY) 2004 TO 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES THAT WERE OUTSIDE THE SCOPE OF RECALL 04V-113.IN MARCH 2004, DAIMLERCHRYSLER INITIATED RECALL 04V-113 ON 34,561 MY 2004 PACIFICA VEHICLES TO CORRECT A CONDITION THAT COULD RESULT IN ENGINE STALL WHILE MAKING A LEFT-HAND TURN AFTER A COLD-START.DURING RQ06-002 IT WAS DETERMINED THAT RECALL 04V-113 DID CORRECT THE SPECIFIC CAUSE OF THE ENGINE STALLING CONDITION FOR THAT SPECIFIC POPULATION.HOWEVER, TWO OTHER CONDITIONS WERE IDENTIFIED THAT COULD ALSO CAUSE ENGINE STALLING DURING TURNING MANEUVERS:(1) AN ISSUE WITH MISBUILT FUEL PUMPS THAT PRIMARILY AFFECTED ABOUT 17,000 MY 2005 PACIFICA VEHICLES BUILT DURING AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 2004; AND (2) A SOFTWARE CONDITION AFFECTING VAPOR PURGE IN ABOUT 131,000 MY 2005-06 PACIFICA VEHICLES BUILT FROM JULY 2004 THROUGH NOVEMBER 2005.

ON FEBRUARY 22, 2006, ODI OPENED PE06-009 TO INVESTIGATE REPORTS THAT THE FUEL TANKS ON MODEL YEAR (MY) 2004 TO 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES MAY BE PUNCTURED BY CONTACT WITH ROAD DEBRIS.THE NUMBER OF REPORTS SUBMITTED BY CHRYSLER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THOSE SUBMITTED BY OTHER MANUFACTURERS WHO WERE REQUESTED TO SUBMIT DATA AS PART OF INVESTIGATION PE05-050 INTO MY 2003 TO 2006 NISSAN MURANO VEHICLES THAT MAY HAVE HAD INSUFFICIENT SHIELDING OF THE FUEL TANK TO PREVENT PUNCTURES AFTER CONTACT WITH ROAD DEBRIS.NISSAN ISSUED RECALL 06V-003 INVOLVING INCREASING THE SHIELDING OF THE FUEL TANKS TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF TANK PUNCTURES. CHRYSLER HAS NOTED THAT THEY HAD IN PLACE FROM JANUARY 2003 TO JUNE 2005 A PARTS RESTRICTION PROGRAM ON PACIFICA FUEL TANK REPLACEMENTS WHICH MAY HAVE MADE THE NUMBER OF REPORTS ARTIFICIALLY HIGH IN COMPARISON TO MANUFACTURERS WHICH DID NOT HAVE A SIMILAR PROGRAM IN EFFECT.CHRYSLER ALSO QUESTIONED WHETHER MANY OF THE FIELD REPORTS OF FUEL TANKS REPLACED DUE TO DAMAGE FROM UNKNOWN CAUSE WERE ACTUALLY PUNCTURED. THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS (EA06-010) TO GATHER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES.
