| Engine light came on, then the gascap light came on. was time for inspection and naturally it failed. immediately took it to repair shop, they checked it over and just replaced the gascap. all lights were off so took it back for inspection. it passed amazingly. later that day, the gascap light came back on. drove a number of months with light on knowing it was a new gascap and it needed a smoke test to find the leak. had alternator replaced and also a new right side fuel pump with the fuel hose from vent on primary to fuel pump vent nipple on other side. they were amazed that i hadn't smelled fuel leaking. also amazed there was no fire. this is a serious fault and needs to be addressed by chrysler after reading all the other same problems. please chrysler, do the right thing!! *tr | |||

| Electrical system failure. . we are experiencing periodic flickering of any electrical equipment that was on (dashboard lights, dome lights, headlights, radio, hvac) and the intermittent abs and brake alarms that may follow. we also hear a loud click in the radio speakers. we have taken the car to our local chrysler dealer. they said they could not diagnose because they cant verify the problem and it doesnt leave any computer codes behind. i know we're not the only ones with this issue. there are blogs all over the website about this chrysler issue | |||

| Approximately around october 2010, my brake light started to blink on and off. shortly after that, the abs light started to do the same thing. when they would flash, they would also ding and it would shut off the radio until it was finished flashing and dinging. i have taken this car to numerous shops and has several diagnostics done, and no one can telll me wht the problem is. i have been told so many things. by the time i go to get something repaired, i'm informed that nothing is wrong with the parts that i have been informed to replace. i have been told that my alternator over charges, the chip in my key is missed up, my powertrain contrain module needs to be replaced, my motor mounts are loose (which i've already replaced), my battery was bad (which has also been replaced), and i also need to replace my engine wiring harness. this is over $5000 in repairs. the car is now starting to shut off when i'm at a stop light for too long. there has to be a way to find out what is wrong with this vehicle. it is costing me too much money to continue to pay the montlhly car not and diagnostic tests. i have contacted chrysler and they have been no help at all. i seriously think that there should be a recall for this issue. i cannot be the only persone suffering with this problem. this is an issue that happens everyday. because no one can properly diagnose this problem, it's really become excessive. it's an issue that i deal with on a daily basis. | |||

| Car has stalled (engine cuts out completely) without any warning and while being driven at least 4 time. most recent was while merging onto freeway it just stopped, nearly causing fatal accident to my daughter who was driving at the time. complete shut down of car causes the steering wheel to lock with no means of getting to side of road. you're a sitting duck for a crash. fortunately, she got the car in park and restarted it. the car is at stevens creek chrysler dealership (towed there today). i am also in touch with chrysler corporation regarding this flaw and reparations that are due me from this lemon. the dealerships number is 408 248-1800. they are aware i am pursuing my options with this dangerous car and i really don't want it back even if they tell me they've fixed it. i don't trust this problem as it's rampant and cars are being recalled for this reason. it's a blessing my daughter wasn't killed from what this car did. | |||

| I drive a 2006 chrysler pacifica touring. i have had issues with the abs light coming on and off. it does not make a difference the speed i am traveling and when i come to a stop it begins to vibrate and i rearended the people infront of me. i have also had issues with my car stalling for no apparent reason. it is hard to believe that there is not a recall on this particular unit. i have called the dealership and also chrysler and they said no problems have ever been documented...they need to start checking this site and see that all of the problems are the same. *cw | |||

| Twice, in 6 days, the pacifica has stalled while driving. the first time my wife was driving 25-30 mph and was turning on the radio, and the second time i was driving about 30 mph and turning on the heat. both times the engine completed cut off and left us with no power steering or brakes. it is a safety hazard for my family. the dealer had the car and stated there was no found problem. the second time it happened the dealer took the car and again claims there is nothing wrong with the car. they still have the car and no solution. *nm | |||

| Incident #1: 3 days after purchasing the vehicle, i noticed there was something wrong with my brakes. i took it in and was told that my rotors needed to be replaced (the vehicle had 30 miles on it when i bought it). i was told all the rotors were warped. incident #2: approximately 4 weeks after purchasing, my left headlight went out. not a major problem, but still an inconvenience...especially when car is brand new. incident #3: i was making a right hand turn out of the parking lot when vehicle stalled on me. my steering wheel locked up and i glided across 2 lanes of the road (amazingly without hurting myself or others). no warning at all. vehicle started back up just find...but very scary. took it into the service and was told that my computer needed to be flashed incident #4: abs light came on out of nowhere and i felt a fluttering of the brake pedal when pressing the brake. i was told the sensors needed to be replaced and they were. incident #5: received my vehicle back from repair on incident #4 on tuesday, vehicle is back in the shop today (2 days later). fluttering from the brake pedal again. unsure what the outcome is...still in service. fortunately, none of these incidents have caused me, my family, or others any injury or harm but each of these incidents (besides the headlight) could have resulted in serious injuries or resulted in deaths. *nm | |||

| My new chrysler pacifica has stalled twice while i was making a slow left hand turn. i only have 2000 miles on the vehicle. my gas tank was 3/4 full. i use regular gas. the dash board lights stayed on while this occurred. i hope this can be repaired since i no longer feel safe in this vehicle. i almost had a wreck during one of these occurrences. please help because after doing some research on the internet i understand this problem has occurred since the 2004 model year and chrysler doesn't seem to care. *nm | |||

| My wife was driving vehicle around town on a short trip (<10 mi). she had come to a complete stop to perform a michigan turn (turning left using separate turn-around drives located in the median). when she began to accelerate to perform the turn, the car lunged but did not move. her initial reaction was that the car was in neutral, but further review showed that the car had stalled (identified by the dummy lights lit up on the dash). she put the car in park, restarted it and proceeded. this is our first experience with the stalling problem with this vehicle. gas tank was greater than | |||
