The contact owns a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving approximately 65 mph, the contact noticed the fuel gauge reading fluctuated whenever the vehicle was in operation. In addition, the engine stalled twice at different times. On one occasion, the engine failed to restart and the vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where the engine started. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer who stated the fuel tank and sensors would need to be replaced. Also both fuel pumps were faulty. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the defect. The approximate failure mileage was 74,000. Updated 03/14/lj the consumer stated the fuel gauge was bouncing up and down on a regular basis. Updated 03/19/12.

While driving the fuel gauge suddenly dropped from 1/2 tank to empty and the fuel alarm sounded. I was able to immediately stop and refuel while only being able to fill about 1/2 a tank full. This happened on three days will on vacation traveling. I called my home purchase dealer after the second event to discuss the problem and was advised to keep the fuel above 1/4 tank and bring to the shop on return from vacation. Upon inspection, I was advised that not one but both fuel pumps had 2 different error codes. I was aware of the fuel pump problem and recall and advised, only on asking, that the VIN number of my vehicle was not included in the recall list and I was 4,000 miles beyond warranty. The full repair was on me for $600+ dollars. It is obvious that from other postings of this problem that this is a manufacturer defect and my VIN number should have been covered. I could not get satisfaction from the dealer or chyrsler. After purchasing Chrysler for the last 3 new vehicle purchases I am not inclined for Chrysler to be selected for my next new vehicle purchase.

: the contact stated that the first experience with the vehicle stalling occurred while the vehicle was under warranty. The dealer replaced the fuel module and reprogrammed the engine, which corrected the problem for a while. The vehicle stalling also occurred while cruising. The engine light illuminated prior to the stallings. During one incident, the vehicle completely stalled on the highway traveling 65 mph. The engine would not restart nor would the transmission reengaged. The vehicle was taken to the dealers who determined that there was a TSB regarding the fuel gauge. Two modules were replaced in the fuel tank. The manufacturer informed the dealers that the modules replaced was for another vehicle type but was okay to use on the vehicle to which the part was installed. After the replacement part, the engine stalling continued while cruising and the fuel gauge would drop down to low fuel. The vehicle was taken back to the dealers who replaced fuel pump module however the problem persists.

While vacationing in north carolina my fuel gauge would read full then 2 hours later empty then would go to half tank then while on the highway with my 5 year old son I ran out of gas(according to the gauge) when I finally made it to a gas station my 24 gallon tank only wanted to take 7 gallons and the gauge said full. It is now scheduled to go in for a diagnostic test on the 21st of this month when speaking with the dealership in which the vehicle was bought they tried to tell me that there were no open recalls. I have since found out different while researching online.

When my Chrysler Pacifica gets to 1/2 tank of gas, the car starts to stall. Especially when slowing down or turning a curve. I've taken it to the dealership twice (each time I was told that they could not replicate the problem, but I was out of gas -- each time I had 1/2 tank of gas -- when I turned a curve, it showed empty). I was told on the second trip to the dealership to document my mileage, how many gallons of gas I put into the tank, etc. ). I filled up on Tuesday, September 13, 2005. Today, Sunday, September 18, 2005, I reached 1/2 tank of gas. I have traveled approximately 242 miles. My car is stalling again. Is there a fix for this problem.
