I HAD BEEN HAVING ISSUES WITH MY VEHICLE SPUTTERING WHILE DRIVING ON AND OFF FOR A FEW MONTHS. I HAD A TUNE- UP DONE WHICH WORKED FOR A FEW WEEKS UNTIL IT STARTED UP AGAIN. I WAS DRIVING MY CHILDREN TO SCHOOL WHEN THE CAR STARTED TO JERK FRONT AND BACK AND THE ENGINE WOULD ALTERNATE BETWEEN REVING UP AND SPUTTERING LIKE IT WAS GOING TO DIE OUT. I MANAGED TO DROP MY KIDS OF AT SCHOOL AND GET BACK HOME. MY HUSBAND TOOK THE CAR IN AND THEY SERVICE GUY SAID THAT IT WOULD COST AROUND $5000.00 TO REPAIR. HE STATED THAT THE ENGINE MOUNT WAS CRACKED AND THE FRAME WAS RUSTED WHICH HAD CAUSED DAMAGE TO SOME OF THE VEHICLE WIRING. WE TOOK IT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND THE SERVICE GUY AT THIS SHOP SAID THE SAME. HE TOLD US THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THAT THE ENGINE COULD ESSENTIALLY FALL RIGHT OUT WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT. NEEDLESS TO SAY I DECIDED NOT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE AGAIN. I USED THIS VEHICLE TO DRIVE MY CHILDREN EVERYWHERE. I AM EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED WITH THIS SITUATION BECAUSE I WAS NOT AWARE OF THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM WITH MY VEHICLE PRIOR TO THIS INCIDENT. I AM THANKFUL THAT NOTHING HAPPENED WHILE I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN; BUT I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER HOW MAY OTHER PEOPLE ARE OUT THERE DRIVING AROUND IN THIS VEHICLE NOT KNOWING WHAT COULD HAPPEN. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED CHRYLSER WHICH WAS A WASTE OF TIME. I WONDER HOW THEY CAN GET AWAY WITH THIS. NOT ONLY AM I OUT OF A CAR BUT I CANT GET MUCH ON A TRADE IN BECAUSE THE VEHICLE ISN'T SAFE TO DRIVE.

SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE LAST YEAR AND WAS TOLD THAT MY PACIFICA WAS BUILT/ ASSEMBLED IN DELAWER THEREFORE MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL .

AS I SAT AT A STOP LIGHT WAITING FOR IT TO TURN GREEN, THE SPEEDOMETER JUMPED UP TO 20 MPH AND THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD. I ALMOST REAR ENDED THE VEHICLE IN FRONT OF ME. THE VEHICLES CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND HAD STATED ON SINCE THAN. I HAD THE CODE SCANNED AND IT CAME BACK AS CODES P0700 AND P0740. I SEARCHED FOR THE MEANING OF THOSE CODES AND THEY PRETTY MUCH SAID IT WAS THE TCM (TRANSMISSION CONTROL MODULE) WHICH HAD BEEN RECALLED ON SEVERAL CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S. I CALLED THE LOCAL DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT WAS NOT A RECALL ON MY VIN SPECIFIC VEHICLE. I OF COURSE ASKED HOW IT WAS NOT RECALLED ON MY VEHICLE WHEN EVERYTHING I HAVE READ SAYS IT WAS FOR ALL 2005-2006 PACIFICA'S. THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER REPORTS OF THIS SAME INCIDENT HAPPENING WITH OTHER PACIFICA OWNERS AS WELL. I WOULD LIKE TO HAVE THE TCM ON MY VEHICLE RECALLED AND REPLACED JUST AS THOUSANDS OF OTHERS WERE. IF I HAD BEEN AND CLOSER TO ANY OF THE VEHICLES IN FRONT OF ME THE SEVERAL TIMES THIS HAS HAPPENED THEN I WOULD HAVE REAR ENDED SEVERAL PEOPLE BY NOW AND NONE OF THE ACCIDENTS WOULD HAVE BEEN MY FAULT. THESE INCIDENTS HAPPEN EVERY TIME I AM DRIVING IN TOWN. IT NEVER LUNES FORWARD AS FAR AS I AM AWARE, ON THE FREEWAY. PLEASE HELP ME FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE IT DOES CAUSE AN ACCIDENT.

I JUST WANT TO VOICE MY FEELINGS ON THIS COMPANY (CHRYSLER) CONCERNING THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2005 AWD WHY WASN'T THIS CAR RECALLED AS A WHOLE. IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A RELIABLE FAMILY CAR BEING THAT I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 5. I RESEARCHED THIS CAR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE THE RIGHT FIT. I HAVE HAD TO BUY 3 BATTERIES FOR THIS CAR WHICH TO ME SEEMS TO BE A LOT. THE CAR BURNED OIL CONSTANTLY AND NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHERE THE OIL WAS GOING, I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNT CHANGED I HAD TO REPLACE THE EGR VALVE FAILED MY EMISSIONS BECAUSE OF IT RIGHT AFTER MEANING SECONDS AFTER IT WAS CHANGED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHILE AT THE SHOP SHOWING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE CHANGED! NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE EGR VALVE BUT I ALSO HAD TO BUY A TWO YEAR WAIVER FOR MY EMISSIONS IN ORDER TO GET MY TABS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD A CATALYTIC CONVERTER. GOT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CHANGED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR SO BUT CAME RIGHT BACK ON. HAD TO GET THE RADIATOR REPAIRED AND NOW THERE IS 5 DIFFERENT CODES POPPING UP P0305, P0404, P0736, P179, AND P0720 IM SURE THESE CODES MEAN NOTHING TO YOU BUT I NEEDED TO ADDRESS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SO MANY COMPLAINTS WERE MADE AND THESE ARE FROM FAMILIES PEOPLE WHO SPEND A LITTLE MORE MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS NOT A MINI VAN TO END UP WITH SOME CRAP!!!!! NO ONE WANTS TO SPEND THEIR HARD ERNED MONEY ON CAR REPAIRS WHEN I HAVE TO MAKE LIFE DECSIONS ON FOOD ON THE TALBE OR FIX MY CAR WELL WE ARE EATING RICE. I AM ATTACHING LINKS FROM ONLINE COMPLAINTS.

MY GAS PEDAL STICKS WHILE DRIVING THE CAR OR AFTER I STOP THE CAR AT A LIGHT OR SIGN. WHEN AT A COMPLETE STOP, I HAVE TO PUSH HARD ON THE PEDAL,WHICH MAKES THE CAR LURCH FORWARD. WHEN I AM DRIVING ON THE EXPRESSWAY, IT GETS STUCK AND I AM NOT ABLE TO ACCELERATE, WHICH CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. I SEE THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP, THE TECH KNEW WHAT I WAS TALKING ABOUT, SAID THAT IT WAS A THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY THAT GETS OLD AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR 200 BUCKS. IF THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE MAJORITY OF THE PACIFICAS, WHY DO THE CONSUMERS NEED TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPLACED. THIS IS A STRICT LIABILITY NEGLIGENCE, NOT MY FAULT.

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLING WHEN TURNING. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. THIS MONTH ALONE, (DECEMBER 2011) THE CAR HAS STALLED 5 TIMES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT I WILL CRASH WHEN IT STALLS. THERE ARE SO MANY CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS THAT ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALONG WITH THE STALLING ISSUE, THE GAS PEDAL STICKS AND NEEDS TO BE PUSHED RATHER HARD. A THIRD PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS YEAR IS THE HEADLAMPS "BURNING OUT". I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT LEFT HEADLAMP THREE THIS YEAR. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEADLAMPS. I AM GREATLY DISTRESSED BY THESE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY THE STALLING. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE AROUND IN THIS CAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT CHRYSLER'S FAILURE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

GAS PEDAL STICKS WHEN ACCELERATING AND DOESN'T RELEASE WHEN FOOT IS REMOVED CAUSING UNWANTED ACCELERATION. PRESSING ON BRAKE DOES NOT HELP. ONLY WAY TO GET PEDAL TO UNSTICK IS TO HIT IT FORCEABLY WITH YOUR FOOT SOMETIMES SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE IT WILL RELEASE. FLOOR MAT HAS BEEN REMOVED AND IT DIDN'T HELP SITUATION. GAS PEDAL STICKING AND CAUSING UNWANTED ACCELERATION STARTED HAPPENING EVERY ONCE AND AWHILE HERE AND THERE BUT HAS INCREASED IN FREQUENCY AND IS NOW HAPPENING EVERYTIME I DRIVE THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED FOR MY AND MY CHILDRENS SAFETY AS IT HAS ALREADY CAUSED A MINOR ACCIDENT WHEN I REAR ENDED ANOTHER DRIVER BECAUSE THE CAR CONTINUED TO ACCELERATE AFTER I REMOVED MY FOOT FROM GAS PEDAL, BUT AFRAID IT WILL CAUSE A MORE SERIOUS ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE.
