Wiring problems of the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica

This vehicle has suffered through a wide variety of problems as outlined from online complaint boards. Today has started sudden acceleration while stopped at traffic lights almost taking me into traffic your investigation on these are closed but I never had satisfaction speaking to Chrysler officials and was informed by my dealer a couple of years ago that the vehicle was made by the ;old; company and the new company does not honor problems. What is disturbing is that a close inspection by me has revealed that the wiring harness going to the control computer was routed under the drivers side flexible motor mount and the harness has been damaged by the mount compressing this harness right on top of a bolt on the frame causing fraying of several control wires . The poor design has indeed created most of the problems with the vehicle and could cause wrecks and perhaps even deaths. Chrysler has informed me they do not accept suggestions from the public but for the safety of the citizens still driving these vehicles,I see a lot on the road, please contact them as to this problem which while not covered under their warranty should be as this flaw only shows up with mileage. The wiring harness has not been priced by me yet but if past experience is the guide Chrysler parts are significantly higher than competitors,even if the last 'genuine' part had product of south korea right on the box. The problem is poor design.

I bought my 2004 crys. Pacifica 2 months ago from a carlot. I test drove it and it was driving really good. I paid for it and pulled off the lot and it started trying to stall on my everytime I pushed the gas it would do it then stop for about a min then start again. It would jerk as it was trying to stall I finally made it home and called the carlot and they said to take it to their car shop so on my way there I stopped at autozone and hooked it up to their computer to see what it was that was messing up. The computer "said" it was the crank sensor. So we took it to the shop and they changed the crank sensor and the motor light went off and it stopped doing it. They had it for a week and that next Friday when I got it back I drove it to pay a couple bills and it started it again it did it about 12 times untill it finally stalled and would start back up but stall right away untill it would not even start again. I left it in that spot and my husband come and picked me and my 3 kids up and the next day the shop said to bring it back to them and my husband went to pick it upp and take it to the shop and it started right up and drove home no problem but the check engine light was still on then drove it to the shop and it done it 2 more times. The shop had it for another week and changed the crank sensor agian and found out the motor mount was broke to and fixed that. I got the car back again and had it for 2 days and it started doing it again. Took it to another shop and the shop said that it could be all the wiring harness and said it would cost me 3,000!!!!!!!! to fix I can not afford that so here I am only 2 months from buying a 10,000 dollar car that I can not drive this is terrible and something needs to be done about this happening to the same kind of cars alllll the time I am a mother of 3 and going to school and working I need my car.

My car has completely shut off on me on 4 different occasions. The first time the dealership said it was a fuel line problem and cleaned the fuel line system. The second time the problem happened, leaving me stranded on the side of the road again, the dealership changed a sensor. The 3rd time, same scenario, the dealership told me that they 2nd occasion the "computer" gave them a fault, but the first time it didn't so they fixed what they "thought" the problem could be. On the 3rd occasion, they told me that when the 2nd event happened it gave them a fault that could have meant that one of two sensors had gone bad. They said that if the car was under warranty they would have just replaced both sensors. Since the car was out of warranty, they just replaced the one "that usually goes bad. " so on my 3rd trip to the dealership, they replaced the second sensor and of course I had to pay for the labor again. The parts themselves cost $20 each and if asked the first time if I wanted to replace both sensors like they would for a warranty repair, I would certainly had agreed. My 4th event happened 4 weeks ago. My car is still at dealership I type this. They say they have no idea what is wrong with the car, but that they can tear the car apart and check out the wiring and if that's the problem, it will cost $6000 to fix. Just to diagnosis the problem I have to pay a minimum of $240 which they tell me may not diagnosis the problem at all. I feel that this vehicle is a huge safety hazard. It only has 30,000 miles on it and has given me nothing but trouble since I purchased it as the second owner on February 28, 2007. The car just shuts off while driving each time leaving me stranded with my 2 young children where ever we are. Each time I have had to wait for a tow truck to arrive to take us to safety. I hope that others have this same complaint and that Chrysler will do something to make this right.

My 2004 Chrysler Pacifica had a fire in the rear side wall on the driver's side. The car was parked and unoccupied when this happened. I contacted Chrysler and an investigator was sent. The investigator told me the "hottest part" or starting point for the fire seems to be in or around the rear of the motor for the rear wiper blades which was inside the side wall of the car. I received a form letter from Chrysler stating the report was inconclusive and they have no liability. I do not agree with their report and have requested a copy of their investigator's report which they have refused to send. The is no way this fire and damaged caused by this fire was anything other than a defect or problem with either wiring or a motor inside the side wall of the car.

Vehicle has less then 4000 miles. Multiple electrical problems (first tow at 120miles). Defective engine wiring @ fuel injectors causing severe bucking and and stalling. Electrical problems with transmission control system causing vehicle to stay in 1st gear and show check engine light. Vehicle has been towed 4 times and spent over 20 days at the dealer. I have only owned it less then 4 months.
