10 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem

Failure Date: 07/20/2006

My Pacifica 2004 model engine just stalled when I turned into my company's parking lot. Then, I could no longer steer and lost control of my steering wheel. My friends at work drove right behind me and just passed by almost hitting me like a "sandwich. " then, I checked to see if there was enough fuel in the tank; I saw about 3/4 left on the fuel gauge. So, I re-started the engine and parked my car safely in the assigned lot. I noticed for the first time, the fuel gauge went from 3/4 level to the "full tank" level and stayed there the entire time. When I did re-start the engine, after 8 hours just to go home, I noticed the fuel gauge was still full. It was very funny and started to drop down to 3/4 again!! right after that, I took my foot off the gas pedal to let the engine warm up, as I always do, my engine could not hold its rpm to keep running and kept stalling again repeatedly. How did I go home that night? I re-started the engine and tried to hold on the gas pedal for about 50-65 seconds by watching the clock in my car, then I heard a clicking sound from inside of the engine compartment, e. G. Air-condition working, or idle timing, or something. But, I still kept my foot on the gas pedal until 100-110 seconds and took my foot of the gas pedal. The engine did not stall anymore, so, I luckily could drive home in the night. When I arrived at home, I stopped the engine and re-started again, many times. The engine was perfectly normal as I had been driving them for 2. 5 years, like nothing ever had happened. So, I did some investigating and visited several car websites. Some of them suggested I file a complaint to NHTSA for this problem because other Pacifica owners had similar problems. And, I just did because this problem is very detrimental serious and can easily cause serious damages to life and property of anyone inside the vehicles.

11 Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problem

2004 Chrysler Pacifica since 2007 my Pacifica has had this problem. The design of the motor and transmission mounts are of very poor quality, causing repeated failures. I've searched around and apparently its a very common problem. Its so common that dealers have had continuous back orders for this models motor mounts for two years now. I've replaced the mounts a few times only to have them fail again. A common symptom, which I have, is random shifting while driving, lurching of the car, clunking noised in the engine compartment, all while driving at speeds between 15 and 60 mph. They cause other failures from damaging electrical lines and connectors to causing transmission fluid leaks. If you do a search on Chrysler Pacifica motor mounts you'll find wave after wave after wave of complaints on web boards from what must be the vast majority of Pacifica owners. Apparently it also affects every model year for this vehicle, not just the 2004's. This is a widespread problem caused by poor design, and a potential safety hazard. I realize Chrysler is going through some tough times right now, but there should be an investigation.
