| I am continuously having problems with the fuel system. it constantly runs out of gas even though i may have recently put gas in. the gauge is always floating between empty and full, but within driving for a few minutes it will drop down on e and the gas light comes on. i've had the fuel line and tank checked for blockage, but the certified mechanic says that there's nothing blocking either. i must make frequent stops to put gas in again, but at no time will it allow me to pump more than $10-$15 worth of gas (regardless of the gas prices). knowing that i've just put gas in, i'll continue to drive a while, but then the car will begin to slow down because it has shut down and the low fuel light will either come on or be on. i was told that there was or maybe a recall that effects my vehicle and i don't know what else to do to get help on this problem. | |||

| There is a very strong fuel smell that is seeping into the passenger compartment of the car. it seems to appear around 40 to 50 mph and is very strong in the last week. at 125,000 mi the abs sensors turns on and off constantly. when you first press the brakes it does not grab the rotors and continues to not stop until the abs light comes on and the brakes perform normal. this is very scary because the car almost went thru several intersections without stopping. the fuel indicator drops to almost empty when it falls below half a tank for about 6 months. *tr | |||

| While turning into the bank parking lot at 10mph the car just stalled. i was unable to brake or steer out the way. when gas gauge reads empty i am unable to fill the tank with gas as it begins to spill back out. gas gauge reads 1/2 full when it is really empty? miles to empty sensor incorrect therefore i have no idea when i need gas. driver side exterior headlamp seems dimmer than the other lamp. after repairing the entire front end(suspension) still sounds like the front end is going to fall apart when driving on ohio roads. felt it was necessary to document as i do not feel safe in this car. *tr | |||

| Driving home on highway with three children in the car. gas gauge suddenly drops from1/2 tank to empty and car stalls immediately on the highway. i am towed to a gas station where i try to put gas into the tank and am only able to put a gallon or two in at a time as if the tank were full. past 6 months, the gas gauge is inconsistent, drops from 1/2 to empty and am unable to put more than a gallon or two in at a time. mechanics as well as myself contact chrysler who claim that they don't know what the problem could be. i look on-line and see that pacifica's have been recalled for this exact problem. i ask that you look into how my pacifica is different from the ones that have been recalled. it is the same year as others that have been recalled and is doing the exact same thing as those on the recall list. | |||
