2007 Chrysler Pacifica

WHEN CORNERING AT LOW SPEEDS THERE IS A LOUD RUBBING NOISE (LIKE A TIRE RUBBING IN THE WHEEL WELL) COMING FROM THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. I CAN FEEL IT BOTH IN THE STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN I GOT NEW TIRES, I HAD THE MECHANIC CHECK THE WHEEL WELLS FOR RUB MARKS AND HE DID NOT FIND ANY. HE STATED THAT THE TIRES WERE NOT RUBBING ANYWHERE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHERE IT WAS FOUND THAT THAT THROTTLE BODY NEEDED TO BE CLEANED ALONG WITH THE REPLACEMENT OF THE SPARK PLUGS. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED SEVERAL TIMES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 78,000. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE.

MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I AM DRIVING. IT GENERALLY HAPPENS WHILE TURNING LEFT AND ALWAYS UNDER THE SPEED OF 45 MPH. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO SEVERAL DEALERSHIPS WHO HAVE FIXED DIFFERENT THINGS THEY FEEL IS CAUSING THE STALLING AND NOTHING IS WORKING. I HAVE PAID FOR THE REPAIRS AND THE DEALERSHIP SAYS UNLESS IT HAPPENS WHEN THEY HAVE IT THEY CANT DIAGNOSE IT. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT SEVERAL TIMES BECAUSE THE CARS BEHIND ME HAVE NO WARNING THE CAR IS SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER WHO TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER AND THEY WOULD "HELP" ME FIGURE OUT WHAT IS WRONG WITH THE CAR. SO I DID AND THEY CLEANED THE THROTTLE BODY AND GAVE ME NEW SPARK PLUGS. CHRYSLER WAS GOING TO MAKE ME PAY FOR THE REPAIRS AND I FOUGHT THEM ON IT AND THEY AGREED TO PAY FOR THE PARTS AND I PAID LABOR AND THE CAR IS STILL STALLING. I HAVE READ ONLINE HUNDREDS OF OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THEIR PACIFICA STALLING AND DOING THE SAME THING MINE IS. THERE IS A RECALL FOR THE 2005/2006 VEHICLES FOR THE SAME THING BUT NOT FOR THE 07 MODEL. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW CHRYSLER CAN IGNORE THIS PROBLEM WHEN SO MANY PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE AS THE VEHICLES THAT WERE RECALLED. I AM IN FEAR OF MY LIFE AND THE LIVES OF MY FAMILY WHILE DRIVING THIS CAR I CAN GUARANTEE I WILL GET HIT EVENTUALLY AND I WANT IT ON RECORD THAT I TRIED EVERYTHING I COULD TO GET THE PROBLEM RESOLVED WITH NO LUCK. *TR

2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I CAN ONLY PUT LESS THAN 2 GALLONS OF GASOLINE IN MAY CAR AT A TIME. GAS SPLASHES OUT WHEN TRYING TO PUT GAS IN AS IF IT IS FULL. FUEL GAUGE NOT READING ACCURATE AS IT DROPS DOWN TO "E" AFTER IT REACHES 1/2 TANK. ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. TOOK VEHICLE TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS INFORMED TO REPLACE MY RIGHT SIDE FUEL PUMP AND FUEL GAUGE SENDER. AFTER REPLACING BOTH PARTS THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. I ALSO TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST AND WAS UNABLE TO GET A DEFINITE ANSWER TO THE PROBLEM, SO I PAID THE DIAGNOSTIC FEE AND THE PROBLEM STILL EXIST. *TR

FIRST WEEK IN JUNE I SENT MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO ATHENS DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP IN BOGART GA. THE STEERING WAS LOCKING UP ON MY WIFE. I FIGURED IT WAS MAYBE THE POWER STEERING. THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE AGAIN BROKEN AND THEY REPLACED THE RIGHT ONE FOR THE THIRD TIME. I READ IN SOCIAL CAR CHAT ROOMS THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE FAILING IN JUST ABOUT ALL THESE TYPE CARS, AND THAT CHRYSLER WAS NOT GOING TO COVER THE COSTS. I NOW HAVE A CAR THAT NO ONE WILL BUY OR AT LEAST I WOULDN'T BECAUSE IT CAN'T HOLD ITS OWN ENGINE. I KNOW THIS IS A CONSUMER CONCERN JUST WANTED TO POINT THAT OUT. MY MAIN CONCERN IS THE STEERING LOCKING UP WITH MY FAMILY ON BOARD. MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT SUPPOSED TO BREAK UNLESS THERE IS A MAJOR ACCIDENT. IN MY OPINION THIS IS A MANUFACTURERS DESIGN FLAW THAT THEY ARE DUMPING ON US CONSUMERS. I MEAN IF THEY TOLD ME THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE GOING TO BE A MAINTENANCE ISSUE I WOULD HAVE NEVER BOUGHT THE CAR. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS, AND NOW MY CONCERN IS THE SAFETY OF MY FAMILY. PLEASE ADVISE ME ON WHAT I CAN DO TO FIND SOME KIND OF HELP WITH THIS. I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE. WHERE ELSE CAN I COMPLAIN AND STEER OTHERS TO.

THE ENGINE WILL STALL WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WITH NO WARNING, THIS HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES AT DIFFERENT SPEEDS ( 20 - 45 MPH) CAR IS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED IN NEUTRAL AFTER IT SLOWS TO LESS THAN 5MPH, NO ENGINE LIGHTS ON PRIOR OR POST STALLING. MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED AND NEW BATTERY, DEALER UNABLE TO REPLICATE AND NO CODES ON COMPUTER. *TR

THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER, A SMALL PLASTIC PART WITHIN THE SHIFTER ASSEMBLY OF CERTAIN AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION VEHICLES OF THE CHRYSLER MARQUEE HAS A HOOK TO WHICH A SPRING IS ATTACHED. WHEN THE HOOK BREAKS, THE VEHICLE CANNOT BE MOVED BECAUSE THE SHIFTER LEVER WILL BECOME LOCKED IN THE "PARK" POSITION. THE CHRYSLER CORPORATION, IN AN AGREEMENT WITH NHTSA (AS I HAVE BEEN MADE AWARE) VOLUNTARILY RECALLED SEVERAL CHRYSLER PRODUCTS WHICH SHARED THIS PART, UNDER THEIR "CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION K39". THOSE VEHICLES, CHRYSLER 300, DODGE MAGNUM AND CHARGER (2005-2007), PROBABLY MANY THOUSANDS, WERE ALL REPAIRED AT NO CHARGE TO OWNERS. YOU MUST BE AWARE THAT THIS IDENTICAL PART, INTERCHANGEABLE WITH THE ABOVE-MENTIONED VEHICLES, IS INSTALLED IN CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES. BUT THE "VOLUNTARY" RECALL EXCLUDED ANY PACIFICA VEHICLE. THERE ARE MANY HUNDREDS, IF NOT THOUSANDS OF PACIFICA VEHICLES, INCLUDING MY OWN, FOR WHICH THIS PART HAS BROKEN. A SHORT INVESTIGATION ON THE WEB WILL DOCUMENT MY ASSERTION. THIS PROBLEM CAN OCCUR AT ANY TIME, AND, UNDER CERTAIN CIRCUMSTANCES COULD BE CONSIDERED A SAFETY-RELATED ISSUE. I CANNOT CURRENTLY PLACE MY VEHICLE INTO THE "PARK" POSITION FOR FEAR THAT I WILL BE REQUIRED TO TOW OR DISASSEMBLE THE CAR TO MOVE IT. THIS IS AN INTOLERABLE SITUATION, AND I DEMAND YOUR EFFORT TO ADD CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES TO THIS RECALL. *TR
