2007 Chrysler Pacifica other reported problems

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

The car has a lot of dangerous problems. For one I had my truck diagnosed and code came back as gas cap. Then it was electric problems after the replacement of the gas cap. Check engine light was still on. So I went for another diagnostic now is coming up power train. Went to 3 to 6 transmission shops and all told me different reasons solenoid, pcm, Tcm, or maybe it’s just shot all together is what the last shop told me. That’s a $3,000 repair and that’s ridiculous after I had all those pieces replaced. My car stills doesn’t shift gears as I’m driving I can’t really go over 40 or 50 mph because of high rpm’s. The car doesn’t shift gears and I’m hearing a loud whining noise as I drive. I was on the high way and could get off fast enough because of high rpm’s and the car not shifting and also automatically switches from drive to auto-stick on it’s on. Pls Help Me

The engine cradle has rotted and engine started to fall out. It took months to find a replacement, now I am told the bolts needed are discontinued and no one at Chrysler or Mopar can tell me what size bolts & nuts are needed to put it together. The control arm came but not bolts or nuts. The engine carriage came, but no nuts & bolts. So, over $1k in parts, looks like it will need to go to the crushers for a loss of $2500 (with cost of purchase). FYI one guy one ebay is selling 1 bolt for $105.00 plus shipping.

THIS VEHICLE HAS HAD ONE MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE FUEL SYSTEM. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE GETS TO HALF WAY, THE GAUGE DROPS TO E AND DOES NOT WANT TO ACCEPT GAS. IT ACTS LIKE IT'S FULL AND YOU CAN BARELY PUT ANY GAS IN. WHEN THIS HAPPENS THE VEHICLE ACTS LIKE IT'S OUT OF GAS EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE AND SOMETIMES THE CAR WON'T EVEN START WHEN IT DROPS BELOW HALF WAY.ALSO, MY ODOMETER READS GASCAP LIKE THERE'S A LEAK BUT IT'S A BRAND NEW GAS CAP. I'VE READ DAYS WORTH OF INFORMATION ON THE WORLD WIDE WEB AND THIS IS THE MOST COMMON ISSUE BUT NOONE HAS DONE ANYTHING ABOUT IT. IT IS NOT FAIR TO THE CONSUMER. I KNOW I WILL NEVER BUY ANOTHER CHRYSLER AND I WILL WARN OTHERS NOT TO ALSO. NOT ONLY THAT BUT MY SEATBELTS DO NOT WORK ANYMORE, TWO OF THEM ANYWAY. MY KIDS HAVE TO SIT IN THE FAR BACK TO BUCKLE UP. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED. I'VE HAD THE FUEL PUMPS REPLACED, THE VAPOR CANISTER AND VAPOR FILTER REPLACED, GAS CAP, ECT. NOTHING REPAIRS THE ISSUE. I KNOW NOW WHY THE PREVIOUS OWNER GAVE IT UP, IF I DIDN'T HAVE TO PAY A DOWN PAYMENT, I WOULD HAVE ALREADY LET IT GO BACK.

WE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE USED, AND FROM DAY ONE WE NOTICED THE TRANSMISSION BANGED INTO GEAR. AFTER NUMEROUS TRIPS TO THE DEALER AND THEM UNABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM, I ASKED THEM TO CHECK THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THEY DISCOVERED A BROKEN MOUNT, THE REPAIR COST ME $440, THIS OCCURRED AT 46151 MI. NOW AT APPROX 74000 MI 2 MORE ENGINE MOUNTS HAVE FAILED THE BILL THIS TIME WILL BE $723. WE DO NOT DRIVE AGGRESSIVELY OR ABUSE THIS VEHICLE, AFTER AN ONLINE SEARCH THIS SEEMS TO BE A DEFECT IN THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA LINE OF CARS. WITH THE ENGINE SHIFTING IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT IT WILL BE ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE A FUEL LINE, BRAKE LINE OR OTHER VITAL LINE OR HOSE WILL BE COMPROMISED CAUSING A FIRE OR LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. I FEEL A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED AND THE DEFECTIVE PART REPLACED AND THOSE WHO ALREADY REPLACED THE DEFECTIVE PART REIMBURSED.

WHEN TURNING TO THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT I CAN HEAR A RUBBING TYPE NOISE. I TOOK IT INTO THE TWO DIFFERENT DEALERS ON TWO SEPARATE OCCASIONS COMPLAINING OF THE NOISE, BUT THE DEALERS COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. WHEN I TURN I HEAR A RUBBING NOISE AND NOW WHEN I REVERSE THERE IS A LOUD GRINDING/RUBBING NOISE SIMILAR TO THE NOISE THAT I GET WHEN TURNING. THE NOISE GENERALLY OCCURS FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AFTER I HAVE STARTED MY CAR AND REVERSE IT. IF MY CAR HAS BEEN SITTING FOR A WHILE IT WILL DO THE NOISE THEN TOO! I'M UNSURE WHAT IS CAUSING THE NOISE AND SINCE THE DEALERS CAN'T DUPLICATE IT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING EITHER. I'M QUITE CONCERNED AS TO WHAT CAN BE CAUSING THESE NOISES AND I DO BELIEVE THAT THEY ARE LINKED! I NOTICED ANOTHER PACIFICA OWNER HAD THE SAME PROBLEM AS I DID SO NOW I KNOW IT'S NOT JUST MY CAR.

PURCHASED THIS CAR USED IN FEBRUARY 2008. SHORTLY THEREAFTER I NOTICED A KNOCK IN THE FRONT WHEN TURNING WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS (IE, BACKING UP). ALSO FELT SLIGHT VIBRATION ON ACCELERATION. DEALER UNABLE TO FIND ANYTHING UNTIL JUNE 2009. MILES 38733. FRONT TIE ROD WAS BROKEN AND REPLACED BY DEALER. THIS DID NOT RESOLVE THE KNOCK OR THE VIBRATION ON ACCELERATION. KNOCK CONTINUED AND GOT WORSE. AT 61000, THE CAR WAS AGAIN BROUGHT IN FOR THE KNOCKING. AT FIRST LOOK, THE MECHANIC DID NOT SEE A PROBLEM. I EXPLAINED THAT AT EXTREME TURN OF WHEEL AT LOW SPEEDS, THERE IS A DISTINCT KNOCK IN FRONT. AFTER HIS FURTHER INSPECTION, I WAS ADVISED BY SERVICE CENTER THAT THE CAR HAS TWO (2) BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS AND THIS COULD BE THE SOURCE OF THE KNOCK AND VIBRATION. WAS TAKEN TO DODGE DEALER WHERE PURCHASED TO CONFIRM BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. PARTS WERE REPLACED UNDER EXTENDED WARRANTY. STILL DID NOT RESOLVE THE KNOCK.
