I JUST PURCHASED MY 08 PACIFICA ON 2-10-16. TODAY AS I WAS DRIVING THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTED TO MALFUNCTION. FIRST IT STARTED WITH THE HEATER NOT WORKING TO THE CAR STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE HIGHWAY. I HAVE FIVE KIDS SO FOR ME TO BE STRANDED ON A BUSY HIGHWAY WITH CHILDREN IS VERY SCARY. 1 WK AGO WHEELS DIAGNOSED TO BENT ALLOYS AND O2 SENSOR IS JACKED UP TOO. RUST IS ALSO PRESENT IM JUST WORRIED ABOUT SAFETY.

MY PACIFICA STALLED AND LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING. I WAS SO SCARED. I HAVE KIDS AND THIS IS VERY UNSAFE. I WAS ABLE TO COAST TO A STOP SAFELY BUT IF THERE WAS A CAR IN FRONT OF ME I WOULD HAVE HIT IT...THIS IS A RECURRENT ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE. I SEE COMPLAINTS ALL THE TIME AND I AM NOW ADDED TO THE LIST. I'M SO WORRIED FOR ANYONE WHO OWNS THIS VEHICLE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED BECAUSE PEOPLE PAY THEIR HARD EARNED MONEY FOR A SAFE RELIABLE VEHICLE... IF SOMETHING HAPPENS TO ANYONE CHRYSLER WILL HAVE TO ANSWER FOR IT...

TEMPORARY LOSS OF POWER STEERING WHEN GOING THROUGH A PUDDLE OR ANY MASS OF WATER ON THE ROAD. DUE TO RAIN, WAS TAKING CHILDREN TO THE BUS STOP. GRAVEL DRIVEWAY HAD A FEW SMALL PUDDLES (NOT EVEN ANKLE DEEP). LOST POWER STEERING. THIS HAS HAPPENED PREVIOUSLY, BUT IT WAS A RATHER LARGE PUDDLE AT AN INTERSECTION - THAT TOOK UP THE ENTIRE TURN LANE.

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR ON STREETS THE CAR WILL JUST SHUT DOWN. NO STEERING POWER ,BRAKES IS SO HARD AND NO SYSTEM!!! IT ALWAYS SEEM TO HAPPEN AS I'M GOING AROUND A CORNER OR A CURB .TODAY 8/18/2015 REALLY UPSET ME, BECAUSE IT SHUT OFF AS I TURNED A CURB AND I ALMOST SLAMMED INTO A FIRE HYDRANT. STARTING THE CAR UP I HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL .20% OF THE TIME THE CAR WILL START IN DRIVE 80% IN NEUTRAL . WE HAVE TOOK IT TO DEALERSHIPS CHRYSLER AND DRIVETIME AND NO ANSWERS . WHAT'S SO SICK ABOUT IT IS THE CAR IS ALMOST PAYED OFF..I LOVE THE CAR,BUT I AM SURELY NOT READY TO LOOSE MY LIFE OR MY 4CHILDREN AND WIFE IN THIS CAR,BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO WHEN YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO BUY ANOTHER .WE COULD TRADE IT ,BUT I WOULD NEVER WANT TO HURT ANOTHER FAMILY!!!

I AM HAVING TROUBLE STARTING MY 08 PACIFIC. I GET A MESSAGE THAT SAYS "INVALID KEY & FOB" AND THEN CAR DIES WHEN TRYING TO START MY VEHICLE WITH THE ORIGINAL KEY. AS A TEMPORARY SOLUTION, I FOUND A SEQUENCE ONLINE (CHRYSLER'S FORUM) TO GET THE VEHICLE TO STARTED AND STAY RUNNING BUT THAT IS VERY ANNOYING. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER AND I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO DEAL WITH THIS ISSUE. AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, I LEARNED THAT THIS HAS BEEN A RECURRING ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLE FOR MULTIPLE YEAR GROUPS. UNTIL NOW, I WOULD HAVE EXPECTED CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE LONG AGO. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN FOR THIS TYPE OF FAMILY VEHICLE BECAUSE IN ORDER TO GET THE VEHICLE STARTED, DURING EXTREME HOT OR COLD TEMPERATURES, CHILDREN ARE IN THE CAR WHILE YOU HAVE TO ALL WAIT UNTIL THE SYSTEM RE-ASSOCIATES ITSELF WITH THE KEY AND THIS TAKE 3-5 MINUTES; THIS IS WITH THE ORIGINAL KEY I MAY ADD. THIS IS ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS AND AS A CONSUMER/ORIGINAL OWNER I SHOULD NOT BE LEFT TO FOOT THE BILL FOR ANY REPAIRS ON THIS MALFUNCTION THAT IS WIDE SPREAD. I HOPE THAT THIS IS TAKEN SERIOUS BECAUSE AS I ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE MEMBER, I SHOULD NOT HAVE TO ACCEPT BEING IGNORED.
