| We have had multiple issues with this vehicle. around 60,000 miles the car died several times which was fixed. then 2/11/2013 the car had a problem with i believe was the fuel line. car would act like it was going to die and smoking like crazy when pressed gas, smelled like gas.. we got it to the dealer service and the fixed it - cost $1100. 3 weeks later while getting onto a freeway in traffic, i pressed the gas to accelerate, heard a bang like something blew up in the engine, car was smoking in the exhaust and the immediately died. it was towed to the dealer where we were later informed a rod had come loose and put a gash in the engine and oil pan. called it a catastrophic failure and only fixed at enormous cost. car dead at 82,625 miles. 5 years old. if this rod would have broke loose any other time or while driving faster in middle lane, we could have been killed, since it was rush hour. i had 2 young kids with me at the time. chrysler is putting lives at risk with faulty products. purchased brand new, maintained and did all required maintenance through dealer. had to purchase new car, not a chrysler. | |||

| The shift stick/knob is stuck in park. the pink button will not unstuck it. a mechanic helped and the plastic mechanism that will hold the shift to park for safety broke. i now do not have this feature where i need to step on the brake to release the shift. the park shift can now be easily moved which is dangerous. | |||

| Vehicle purchased new 04/2007 has had the torque converter replaced twice and still has the same problem. the transmission shifts harshly, cause a rumbling / shuddering sensation at certain speed / load conditions. the transmission also intermittently remains in a lock up condition while stopping and will nearly stall the engine before the car is stopped using much harder than normal brake pressure. *tr | |||

| I have chrysler pacifica that has a bad transmission problem when shifting and sometimes the rear brakes will lock up. i took it to a dealership for repairs and was told to bring it in only when you get lights on the dash other than that it is normal. i'm currently waiting for a tuning valve to be replaced in the motor. i'm now experiencing problems now with the airbag light coming on and going off. i was told again by a service writer it was normal until it comes on and stays on. i bought the car in january 2008 and it is now march it has been in the shop for repairs 4 times for the transmission and twice for the brakes and a total of 15 days and running. i have called chrysler care several times and have sent them a letter and their response to me is keep taking it back for repairs the car has 34,000 on it now and still has factory warranty left on it. i'm afraid to drive it and have it sitting in the driveway because the dealer is waiting for the parts to come in to repair it. please if there is someone at chrysler listening call me... *tr | |||
