| While driving at speeds of 10-35 mph, the oil and esp lights would illuminate, then the engine will simply cut off / stall. we have to put on the emergency flasher while in traffic, put the vehicle in neutral or park and restart. no engine light. we brought the pacifica in to the dodge dealership 5 times and they could not find any codes. they tried updating the software on the ecm which did not help. then, the dealership said the motor mounts were bad and the torque of the engine was pulling on the front wiring harness(es), causing the stalling issue. we had all 3 (front, rear, upper) engine/motor mounts replaced and the issue still happens every time we try to drive the car. the dealership has the car again and said the front motor mount still looks like it is bad even though it was replaced 4 days ago. based on what i've read in the nhtsa database and the dodge dealership telling me that motor mounts go out on a lot of pacificas, this is happening to a lot of 2007 pacifica owners. chrysler should absolutely recall the motor mounts on this vehicle and provide a more reliable replacement motor mount with a robust design at no charge to all pacifica owners. my wife has reported that she has almost been rear ended several times as a result of suddenly stalling while driving. to have this vehicle completely stall out while my wife is taking my 3 kids to school or other activities could cause a crash and is potentially life threatening. i just want this issue to be resolved. the pacifica is a well designed car and we love the interior but we need reliable transportation. *tr | |||

| The car continues to stall at low speeds. we have taken to mechanic and they do not find any service alerts, and weren't able to duplicate on a test drive. it is starting to pick up in frequency to where it is doing it every other day now. i also called the service group at the chrsyler dealer i purchased it from, and they said they can only do what i had already done with the other mechanic shop. i went to the chrysler forum to post and see if anyone else had experienced this, and see numerous postings of this issue over the years. i am very concerned with the safety of my family, as when the car stalls, it locks up and i lose control. i have to pull over and restart. | |||
