2007 Chrysler Pacifica

MY TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS STARTED WITH MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WHEN IT WAS SHIFTED FROM AUTOMATIC DRIVE TO AUTOMATIC STICK WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. I BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALER WHEN I DISCOVERED THE ENGINE LIGHT CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE AFTER THIS INCIDENT. THEY HAD DONE AN ENGINE AND A TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTIC TO FIND THAT THERE WERE ERROR CODES DISPLAYED FROM THE TRANSMISSION, RE-SET IT, AND ADVISED THAT I WILL NEED A NEW TRANSMISSION. *TR

I HAVE A 2007 PACIFICA, IT STARTED SHAKING BAD. TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THE MOTOR MOUNTS WHERE REPLACED. AT THE SAMETIME THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS ALSO REPLACED. BECAUSE THE TORQUE CONVERTER WOULD UNLOCK WHEN GIVEN A LITTLE WE TOOK THE CAR BACK THREE TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS WAS NORMAL???? BUT WE DON'T THINK SO. *TR

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

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

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

I PURCHASED A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN MAY 2007. STARTING IN JANUARY 2008 I STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THE CAR...SHUTTERING, IDLE PROBLEMS. IN MARCH 2008 I HAD TO HAVE A NEW TORQUE CONVERTER PUT IN THE CAR. NOW, AUGUST, 2008 AND 8000 MILES LATER I GOT IN THE CAR ONE MORNING AND IT WAS MAKING A HORRIFIC SQUEALING NOISE AND COME TO FIND OUT AGAIN I HAVE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND NEED ANOTHER TORQUE CONVERTER PLUS A TRANSMISSION PUMP. APPARENTLY THE PUMP IS ON BACKORDER AND I AM 1 OF 3 PEOPLE IN THE UNITED STATES ON A WAITING LIST WAITING FOR ONE. MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING IN THE SHOP FOR OVER 3 WEEKS NOW BECAUSE OF THE PROBLEM. THE CHRYSLER MECHANIC HAS NO IDEA WHEN THE PART MAY COME IN. THIS IS RIDICULOUS IN MY OPINION. AN ALMOST BRAND NEW CAR WITH THESE KIND OF PROBLEMS. THE CRAZIEST THING IS THAT AFTER OWNING THE CAR FOR 6 MONTHS LAST YEAR, I FIND OUT THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T EVEN PUT A TRANSMISSION DIPSTICK UNDER THE HOOD. YOU HAVE TO TAKE THE CAR TO A CHRYSLER DEALER TO HAVE IT WORKED ON OR CHECKED. THAT IS JUST WRONG. I DON'T KNOW IF THERE IS ANY TYPE OF LEMON LAW OR WHAT ON THIS BECAUSE I HAVE RESEARCHED AND FOUND OUT I AM ONE OF MANY WHO HAS HAD THESE TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS WITH THE 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. PLEASE ADVISE ME IF I HAVE ANY RIGHTS IN THIS MATTER. *TR

MY 2007 FWD PACIFICA HAS BEEN TO THE SERVICE CENTER 4 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT (APRIL 2008) - FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS VERY "CLUNKY" AND SHUDDERS IN & OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING. AT THE 3RD SHOP VISIT THE TORQUE CONVERTER WAS REPLACED & COMPUTER REFLASHED - PROBLEM CAME BACK IN ABOUT 300 MILES. LAST VISIT - REFLASH AGAIN - DEALER CALLED CHRYSLER & WAS TOLD THAT THEY (CHRYSLER) IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING AT THIS POINT IN TIME. THE CAR IS STILL SHIFTING HORRIBLE - MUCH WORSE IF I USE THE AC, SOMETIMES THE ENGINE FAN COMES ON & WON'T SHUT BACK OFF (UNTIL THE NEXT MORNING), AND NOW WHILE I AM AT RED LIGHTS, THE CAR FEELS LIKE IT IS ABOUT TO STALL & SHAKES VERY BAD (THE FIRST TIME THIS HAPPENED I ACTUALLY THOUGHT SOMEONE REAR-ENDED ME - THAT'S HOW BAD IT SHAKES!) I TALKED TO THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED IT ABOUT RETURNING IT - BUT THEY WILL NOT GIVE ME CLOSE TO WHAT I PAID FOR IT. *TR

2007 PACIFICA TRANSMISSION SHUDDERS WHEN LUGGING DOWN,MOST NOTICEABLE WHEN CAR IS IN 4TH GEAR AT 1800-2500 RPM. ALSO HAVE VERY HARSH SHIFT WHEN GOING INTO AND OUT OF 2ND GEAR. AFTER TWO COMPLAINTS AND TEST DRIVE WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL AND ALSO THAT THE TSP'S OUT DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE VIN. THE SERVICE MANAGER SENT MY COMPLAINTS TO CHRYSLER AND THEY DIRECTED LOCAL DEALER TO REPROGRAM TRANSMISSION AND REPLACE TORQUE CONVERTER. DUE TO NUMBER OF SAME COMPLAINTS CHRYSLER SHOULD TAKE INITIATIVE AND HAVE RECALL INSTEAD OF MAKING EACH INDIVIDUAL OWNER GO THROUGH THIS NONSENSE. *TR
