• 12/30/2017· STEERING,WHEELS,ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL (ESC)

  MY ENGINE LIGHT HAS BEEN ON SINCE I GOT THE CARE IN MAY OF 2012-, I HAVE ALWAYS HAD PROBLEMS WITH AIR GOING LOW ON THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT TIRE, AND RECENTLY MY STEERING HAS BECOME HARD TO MOVE EVEN THOUGH IT HAS POWER STEERING HAS FLUID IN IT. AT TIMES THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF WHEN I BACK OUT OR COME TO A STOP AT A LIGHT OR STOP SIGN.

• 12/29/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  BEGINNING IN JULY 2011 THE GAS GAUGE BECAME ERRATIC. IT WOULD SHOW 1/2 TANK AND 200MILES TO EMPTY. WITHIN 20 MILES IT WOULD SHOW LOW FUEL AND SHORTLY AFTER RUN OUT OF GAS. AROUND THE SAME TIME THE FUEL TANK WOULD TAKE A VERY LONG TIME TO FILL. THE NOZZLE KEEPS KICKING OFF AS IF THE TANK WERE FULL. THE ONLY WAY TO FUEL IT IS TO GENTLY SQUEEZE THE NOZZLE AND TRICKLE IT IN. THE FASTEST IT WILL TAKE FUEL IS SLOW ENOUGH THAT YOU CAN ACTUALLY COUNT THE PENNIES ON THE PUMP AS THEY GO UP. AFTER E-MAILING CHRYSLER NO LESS THAN 7 TIMES AND FINALLY DEMANDING TO SPEAK TO A SUPERVISOR I RECEIVED A PHONE CALL TODAY,12/29/2011. I HAD HIM ON THE PHONE FOR 40 MINUTES AND GOT NOWHERE. THE LAST E-MAIL THEY SENT ME SAID THE ANSWER WOULD REMAIN THE SAME, WHICH TELLS ME THERE WAS A PREDETERMINED ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM. I ASKED THE SUPERVISOR WHO CALLED ME FOR A PHONE NUMBER I COULD CALL TO SPEAK TO SOMEONE HIGHER THAN HIM AND WAS TOLD "WE DON'T DO THAT." I CANNOT SEE HOW A CAR THAT IS 5 YEARS OLD NEEDS A NEW FUEL PUMP AND A NEW FUEL TANK. HE SAID THIS IS THE FIRST CASE HE HAS SEEN ON THIS ISSUE BUT I HAVE FOUND NEARLY 100 CASES IDENTICAL TO MINE ON-LINE. I ALSO CALLED 7 DEALERS IN 5 STATES AND THEY HAVE ALL HEARD OF THIS PROBLEM AND KNEW JUST WHAT THE CAR NEEDS. PARTS AND LABOR COMES TO JUST OVER $1500.00. I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE ANY HELP OR ADVICE YOU COULD PROVIDE. THANK YOU. *KB

• 12/28/2013· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  AFTER MY 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FUEL GAUGE GETS BELOW 1/2 TANK, THE GAUGE STARTS DROPPING AT AN ALARMING RATE. IF I DRIVE 1 MILE IT REACTS INDICATING AS MUCH AS A 10 MILE DROP. WHILE SITTING AT A STOP LIGHT THE GAS GAUGE JUMPS AROUND BETWEEN 2 AND 3 MILES DIFFERENCES. I DO NOT GET A FULL 20 GALLON DRIVE FROM MY VEHICLE. I CAN FILL UP THE CAR BUT ONCE THE GAUGE INDICATES IT'S EMPTY THE CAR WILL NOT START. I LOGGED IT AS ONLY SHOWING 320 MILES AND GOING EMPTY, WHEN FULL THE GAUGE INDICATES 400 MILES. THIS READING IS CHANGING NOW ON A WEEKLY BASIS. I HAVE LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND OTHER PEOPLE ARE COMPLAINING ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. *TR

• 12/28/2011· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE

  A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE DTC CODE INDICATED A FAULT IN FUEL EVAP SYSTEM. A SMOKE TEST ON THE SYSTEM REVEALED THAT THE PLASTIC TUBE ON THE FUEL PUMP HAD SNAPPED OFF REQUIRING A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT. THE FUEL PUMPS ARE CONNECTED BY A HOSE WHICH SITS ON TOP OF THE FUEL TANK. THE CONNECTION POINT AT THE ON THE PRIMARY FUEL PUMP SNAPPED OFF. THE FUEL PUMP, AND TANK IS MOUNTED ABOVE THE EXHAUST SYSTEM, SO IT'S PROBABLY NOT AN IDEAL SITUATION TO HAVE DEFECTIVE PARTS LEAKING SMALL AMOUNTS OF GASOLINE ON TOP OFF HOT EXHAUST. ALSO,AFTER COMPLETING REPAIRS MY GAS MILEAGE IMPROVED BY 10%. I HAVE SAVED THE DEFECTIVE PART INCASE ITS NEEDS FOR FAILURE ANALYSIS. *TR

• 12/27/2013· FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE,ENGINE

  THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING AT LOW SPEEDS MOSTLY IT HAPPENS WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY PROBLEMS WITH IT THEY JUST SAID THEY COULD REPLACE THE 2 FUEL PUMPS FOR $900 BUT COULD NOT GUARANTEE THAT WOULD FIX THE PROBLEM. I DID NOT HAVE THE PUMPS CHANGED. WHEN THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF LOSS OF POWER ASSIST STEERING IS LOST AND POWER ASSIST BRAKES MAKING IT DANGEROUS TO NAVIGATE TO A STOP TO RESTART IT. *TR

  THIS VEHICLE TENDS TO STALL AT OR BELOW 35 MPH. HAVE BEEN TO INDEPENDENT MECHANICS AND CHRYSLER AND NO ONE CAN SEEM TO FIGURE OUT WHY IT STALLS. WHEN IT STALLS THERE IS A LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE CAR AND IS VERY DANGEROUS ESPECIALLY WHEN IN RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC. MY WIFE DRIVES THIS VEHICLE ALONG WITH MY 3 CHILDREN.

  SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE FROM THE DEALER IN OCTOBER 2008, I NOTICED THAT THE CAR SEEMED TO LURCH WHEN I STEPPED ON THE GAS FROM A FULL STOP. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, BUT THEY DID NOT THINK THERE WAS A PROBLEM. IN 2009, THEY WENT OUT OF BUSINESS AND I TOOK THE CAR TO BE INSPECTED BY ANOTHER DEALERSHIP. THEY FOUND THAT TWO ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BROKEN. LUCKILY IT WAS COVERED BY THE WARRANTY. AT MY LAST INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT MY OTHER TWO MOUNTS HAVE BROKEN. THIS I HAD TO PAY OUT OF MY OWN POCKET, AS THE WARRANTY EXPIRED. I AM WONDERING IF I AM GOING TO HAVE TO KEEP REPLACING THESE EVERY YEAR? ALSO, IS THIS A FIRE HAZARD? IS THIS A HAZARD IN A CAR ACCIDENT? I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS PROBLEM AND COME UP WITH A SOLUTION TO PERMANENTLY FIX THE ENGINE MOUNTS. *TR

SO THEY REPLACED THE FRONT, AND ORDERS A REAR. AFTER LEAVING THE THAT DAY MY ESP/BASS LIGHT CAME ON AND MY POWER LIGHT CAN MY CAR REAR TIRES WERE LOCKING. I CALLED THEM THE NEXT DAY AND TOOK IT IN 2 DAYS LATER DUE TO BEING BOOKED, AND THEY FIX THE REAR MOUND, BUT SAID NOTHING WAS WRONG WITH THE ESP/BASS LIGHT AND THE OTHER LIGHTS. MY TRANSMISSION IS STILL JERKING WHEN DRIVING. SO I TOOK IT TO THEIR OTHER DEALERSHIP, I TOLD HER MY ENGINE LIGHT CAM ON AND WILL NOT TURN OFF NOW. MY CAR SEEM TO WANT TO DIE. I GOT SCARED, AND STOPPED WAITED 30MINS THEN TURNED IT BACK ON, AND LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. SO NOW MY TRANSMISSIONS JERKS, THEY SAID THEY FIXED MY MOTOR MOUNDS AND THAT WOULD FIX IT, BUT DIDN'T. MY BRAKES ARE NOW KNOCKING, AND THEY SAID IT WILL DO THAT BECAUSE THE CAR NOTICES WATER ON ROAD SO THEY KNOCK. LOL THAT FULL OF IT. YESTERDAY THERE WAS NO RAIN, AND THEY WERE KNOCKING WHEN I WOULD BRAKE. VERY SCARY. MY CAR SOMETIMES FEEL LIKE IT'S GOING TO DIE WHEN I TAKE OFF. THEY SAID THERE'S NOTHING WRONG.

ONE OF THE TECH TOLD ME WHEN I WENT IN THE LAST TIME WHICH WAS 12-17-07 THE HAD A RECALL ON MOTOR MOUNDS DUE TO MY ENGINE BEING SO POWERFUL IT BRAKES THE ONES ON THERE DUE TO USING SAME 06 MODELS MOUNDS. SO I TOLD THEM WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN INFORMED OF THIS. THEY SAID WELL WHEN THEY BRAKE YOU JUST COME IN. JUST TO LET YOU KNOW, I HAVEN'T EVEN PAID MY FIRST CAR NOTE. I PICKED IT UP YESTERDAY, AND STILL IT JERKS AND WHEN I PUSH THE BRAKE IN THE SHIFTER IS KNOCKING NOW!! I TOLD THEM I GOING TO SEE ABOUT THE LEMON LAW, THEY SAID I DON'T HAVE ONE. WHERE DO I STAND.

  WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING OR CLUNKING NOISE . WE LIFTED THE HOOD, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND DEPRESSED THE PARKING BRAKE. WE THEN APPLIED ACCELERATOR AND THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE LIFTED FROM THE MOTOR MOUNT A GOOD 2 OR 3 INCHES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THIS ACTUALLY STARTED DOING THIS SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT IN JUNE OF 2014. IT HAD 97000 MILES AND NOW HAS 117000 MILES. I AM FEARFUL OF HAVING THE ENGINE COME COMPLETELY OFF THE FRAME. I AM TAKING IT TO MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NEXT WEEK. I CANNOT BELIEVE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT THIS MODEL HAS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I GUESS SINCE NO ONE HAS DIED YET OR BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED THE MANUFACTURER MUST FEEL FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL JUST WAIT TILL EVERYONE STOPS BUYING THEM. WELL, I AM SELLING MY CAR AFTER IT IS FIXED. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE SHIFTER REPLACED BECAUSE THAT WENT OUT ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND MY MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE IT. I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THAT AS WELL, AND YOU CAN BE SURE I AM KEEPING ALL OF MY RECEIPTS FOR REPAIRS THAT I SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE TO MAKE ON AN 8 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.

THERE WERE VERY NOTICEABLE BANGS WHEN THE CAR SHIFTED GEAR. RETURNED CAR TO DEALER WHO STATED THAT THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN TO REFLASH SHIFT POINTS.

  HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING A CLUNK FROM THE RIGHT WHEEL WELL FOR A FEW WEEKS. HAD MIDAS LOOK AT IT LAST WEEK WHILE REPLACING FRONT BRAKES, BUT THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE ANYTHING. THIS WEEK, WAS GETTING OIL CHANGE AND TRANSMISSION FLUSHED. MENTIONED THE NOISE AGAIN, AND THIS TIME WAS TOLD THE NOISE WAS DUE TO ENGINE MOUNT FAILURE OF THE LEFT AND RIGHT ENGINE MOUNTS. I IN TURN CALLED MY LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SINCE I PURCHASED MY CAR WITH THE LIFETIME POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AS WELL AS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY, AND WAS TOLD THAT NEITHER ONE OF THESE WOULD COVER THE REPLACEMENT. THEN, CHRYSLER PROCEEDED TO QUOTE ME A REPLACEMENT COST THAT WAS $300 OVER MY MIDAS QUOTE. I ASKED THE TECHNICIAN, "DOESN'T THIS SEEM TO BE A PREMATURE FAILURE, SINCE I ONLY HAVE 67,000 MILES?" TO WHICH HE REPLIED, "YES IT DOES." HE ALSO SAID THE REASON THIS PART IS NOT COVERED IS BECAUSE IT IS CONSIDERED A "CONSUMABLE" PART. REALLY? CAN I BUY THAT WITH MY OIL? BUT, BASED ON ALL OF THE COMPLAINTS I HAVE SEEN ABOUT THIS ON NUMEROUS WEBSITES, ENGINE MOUNTS ARE AS CONSUMABLE AS BRAKE PADS WHERE CHRYSLER IS CONCERNED. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I TOLD THE TECHNICIAN THAT I WOULD NOT BE TAKING MY CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR THIS REPAIR. I CAME HOME AND DECIDED TO GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM TO SEE IF IT WAS A COMMON OCCURRENCE, AND OH MY! CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THE ENGINE MOUNTS AND REFUND THEIR CUSTOMERS WHO HAVE HAD TO PAY FOR THESE REPAIRS SINCE NONE OF THEIR WARRANTIES SEEM TO! TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PRODUCT.

CHRYSLER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. AND THEY STATED THAT NO RECALLS HAD BEEN ISSUED. MILEAGE AT THE TIME OF DIAGNOSIS WAS 59,000. AS THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF THE BASIC WARRANTY, AND MOUNTS ARE NOT COVERED UNDER THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY, I WAS TOLD I HAVE NO COVERAGE FOR REPAIR OF THIS KNOWN DEFECT. MANUFACTURER SUGGESTED THAT I PAY FOR THE REPAIR AT THE DEALERSHIP, AT THE WILDLY INFLATED DEALER PRICING, AND THEN THEY WOULD SEE IF THERE WAS ANYTHING THEY COULD DO REGARDING A POSSIBLE PARTIAL REIMBURSEMENT AFTER THE FACT. I MAY HAVE BEEN DUMB ENOUGH TO BUY A CHRYSLER, BUT I'M NOT THAT DUMB. AN ESTIMATE FROM A PRIVATE GARAGE WAS 50% LESS.
