general problems of the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica - part 2

While idling, the car shut off and would not start again. Had the car towed to a dealer for repair. After 2 days of looking for the cause the dealer could not find any reason for the car to have shut off and not started again.

Parked car for three days on five different occasions and the power supply was dead when I tried to start the car. The dealer said I must remove a module under the hood anytime that I leave the car for more then two days. This process is not acceptable and causes problems for anyone who travels and leaves their car in a lot while flying. They state that they are aware of the problem but have no fix for it.

2004 Chrysler Pacifica - purchased river oaks Chrysler houston:1) I have had on-going minor problems with this vechicle since I purchased it. These problems have required for me to take the car in to the river oaks Chrysler service department on a regular basis during the past year (lemon?). 2) yesterday October 18, I experienced one of the worst problems with this car. I was leaving my neighborhood and was at a stop sign. I started to make a left turn when I heard a loud noise as if metal was breaking and cracking. The car started to shake violently. I had to grab onto the steering wheel very hard to control it. I had trouble steering it as the wheels did not seem to want to move. I was able to pull it to the side and get assistance (I feel fortunate that it did not happen on the hgway, as the consequences would probably not have been good). The car has 20,000 miles. I do not travel far as I am a stay home mom and most of my driving is doing errands and taking my kids to school. The car was towed to river oaks, Chrysler in houston where the car is sitting in their service department. The latest I heard was that the axle broke. My concern is that this is a 1 year old car and it had a major failure such as this one. So many things have gone wrong with this vechicle that I find it unreliable and unsafe and I hate for something like this to happen to someone else. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I purchased the car from carmax 08/03, with 500 miles on it. At the end of 09/04, with 2200 miles, I began to have problems with the fuel light. I took it in for service for the fuel light on 10/6, 10/11, 12/18, and 12/27/04. Each time service said it was due to a gas cap not being tightend, and or gas was being topped off. They didn't tell me they replaced a c34 fuel line clip on 12/18, and on 12/27 they replaced the egr system. I continued to have the same problems 1/11 and 1/17/05. On 1/17/05 they replaced a detector for general evap system failure/replace nvld pump. 1/25/05, service again for the headlamps not working, they found no problem. I was not told they did a recall on 10/06/04 on the auto transmission powertrain controle module. I found out, via the internet there was a recall on the headlamps, and they could go out anytime. I received another recall in the mail on the seat control module and drivers door handle, so I took the car in for both recalls 03/31/05. I got home that evening, and now I can't get into the car through the driver's side! this whole car is a lemon and should be recalled!.

The power windows, locks, mirrors, keyless remote entry and power seats all stopped working at the same time. The trunk also would not unlock to open. We have owned the car for three days.

Electrical/transmission.

Power seat control failure for dirver and front passenger seats. Also, seat heating system fails. Dashboard flashes with signs of memory failure. Car has been taken to the dealer for repair four times with no solution to the problems.

I have a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica awd, currently has 50,000 miles. We have had problems since we drove it off the lot. Time after time we were told there were no codes signifying any problems, and they could never duplicate the noises we were experiencing. Climate control screen went out, this was replaced. Message display went out, unable to see safety warnings, compass, menu display stalling when turning at slow speeds popping and clunking noises when turning slowly load clanging noise when shifting from park to reverse, sounds like we ran over a large metal object. Leaks on driver side when raining warped rotors at 35,000 miles fuel gauge needle will plunge from f to e when there is a least half tank of gas. I have taken the car in on numerous occasions, they can never duplicate the problem noises to diagnose or fix.

2004 Chrysler Pacifica has a problem with the motor mounts. Consumer states the mounts have been on back order since Dec. 2008. The consumer stated a noise was heard when gong over bumps in the road. The anti-lock wheel sensor was bad, the tire light illuminated, the lower control arms and front sway bar were replaced. The motor mounts were leaking oil. The instrument cluster was not working and the egr valve was replaced.
