When I drive my car I can hear my engine hitting the walls of my car. It is loose and also the breaks abs light is on throughout my drive. If it is not on than the breaks slide.

Abs and traction light comes on intermittently.

Abs light came onwhile traveling in florida. Car makes grinding sound. Light goes on after driving awhile. Does not brake properly if light comes on while coming to a stop. Replace all brakes and sensors and still no help. Chrysler knows they have a problem and it is going to take someone dying before this gets fixed. There have been thousands of complaints on this at much lower mileages than my car. Please do something. Either chryler knows what the fix is and does not care or at this point they really do not know what to do and will not take responsibility.

The abs light started to just flash on and off, even when not braking. Then abs started to malfunction causing problem with braking. While I was driving it in downtown nashville at about 25mph, braking down hill, I tapped on the brakes to slow down and I could feel the pedal rapidly pulsating and noticed the abs light turn on and the car was having difficulty stopping. Thought I would run the stop sign. In last seconds normal braking occurred. Abs light began coming on intermittently, took to shop following day. Had front and rear brake replaced. Light starting coming on again within a few days, when light comes on problem with brakes.

I was driving at lower speeds, approaching a stop sign; driving down a hilly road in downtown nashville, TN. My abs light suddenly came on as I pressed the brake it temporary made a grinding noise and brakes temporary failed then as suddenly as it happened the brakes stopped grinding and then stopped. This is a braking issue that came happen suddenly with no sign or warning before it happened!!!!!!!! the abs brake sensors or some mysterious other abs related issue that is stomping mechanics. I took my vehicle in the next day and had brakes replaced but the problem continues. My brakes work fine but at times I would get the abs light signal coming on then like a scrubbing noise seem to be coming from the front wheels well brakes causing difficulty in stopping. But not at all times. Sometimes this happens with no abs light coming on! and this usually happens at lower speeds 30 and under even at 15-20 mph when I am breaking for a red light or stop sign. I saw on sites where thousands of people hare having the same problem and were told by dealerships and mechanics that even after those are replaced the problem continues, no one seems to be able to find out what the real problem is and Chrysler won't even try to fix my vehicle was working fine the all of a sudden, the issue. I think this is a dangerous situation. I think there should be a recall on the abs wheel sensors and the module control or whatever the real problem is? only Chrysler knows butr they are not telling!!! I think if they won't address then the government should make them please include this int he current recall let's get these unsafe vehicles off the roadways!!! now is a good time to doit, with the recall of other like vechiles from Chrysler are already in recalln.

Tl-the contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while at a stop light, the brake pedal started to vibrate as the it was being depressed. The contact added more pressure and the abs warning light illuminated. The dealer diagnosed that brakes needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who replaced the master cylinder but failed to remedy the failure. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable. Pam.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving 55 mph, the vehicle shook with the illumination of the abs light. The vehicle was not repaired and the manufacturer was notified. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

I just got my abs light fixed and it came back on I looked online and seen alot of ppl are having this issue I just paid 300$.

My abs light keeps coming on intermittently. The brakes lock up without warning. Today I had to swerve onto the shoulder to avoid a collision. This has happened before but without incident. This is a serious safety hazard and should receive special attention immediately!.

I was driving down the highway and the abs light came on. Moments later I had to come to a sudden stop and had very little braking power. I had to swerve severely to avoid an accident. Since the the light comes on frequently and braking is severely effected. Nothing the mechanics do lasts long. I can't sell the car and I'm afraid to drive it outside of the neighborhood. Apparently everything the service code may indicate is extremely expensive. I can't believe this car hasn't been recalled yet. With so many cars having this problem there has to be a common fix.

There is a very strong fuel smell that is seeping into the passenger compartment of the car. It seems to appear around 40 to 50 mph and is very strong in the last week. At 125,000 mi the abs sensors turns on and off constantly. When you first press the brakes it does not grab the rotors and continues to not stop until the abs light comes on and the brakes perform normal. This is very scary because the car almost went thru several intersections without stopping. The fuel indicator drops to almost empty when it falls below half a tank for about 6 months.

Multiple issues with this car! I will start with the problems that didn't almost kill myself and my children. The abs light would stay on and the dealer had no resolution. The car would stall while turning. I replaced the battery five times in four years. While idling in the driveway the drivers seat reclined by itself, would not respond to the controls and started smoking! the dealer claims they could not diagnose the problem! lastly, while driving my sons to school, the car was handling poorly and because it was dark and raining, initially I believed that it was wet road conditions. To maintain control of the car, I was traveling in the slow lane and my speed was approx. 30 mph. Upon approaching the top of a small hill, the steering began to vibrate violently, at this time I believed that the car had a flat tire and that was what had caused the poor handling while driving. I immediately hit the button for my hazard lights and began to try to ease into the emergency lane and attempt to stop the car. It was instantly apparent that the car brakes and power steering were not working, which left me struggling at 30 mph and accelerating because of the I was now on the downward side of the hill, to try to maintain control of the car! I was able to keep the car from completely veering to the right and ultimately hit a 5 inch concrete curb that is a turn out for the corner gas station. Upon hitting the curb the car then sprang to the left back into the highway lane. Miraculously, no other vehicles were traveling in that lane at that moment! once, we were out of the car, I learned that the car did not have a flat tire but a part of the front end had broken and caused the passenger front tire to collapse into the wheel well. . . Unbelievable! I believe this to be a defect of the car, in addition to he multitude of other defects of this car!!.

Abs warning light keeps coming on intermittantly. I have had it worked on and reset but it keeps coming on. The mechanic says the diagnostic code doesn't make sense. It is becoming costly to keep having it checked. There should be a recall as there are many Pacifica's that have the same problem.

Two month after I bought my Pacifica my abs light came on and has continued to come on even after it was fixed. Apparently it is the sensor that keeps having issues. It reads a different speed than the other sensors. Also I keep having an issue with my engine light coming on randomly. I have taken the car in for evaluation 3 times and every time they tell me I need to turn the gas cap so many times to stop this from comming on. This actually does not solve the problem, as it is still continues to come on and turn off randomly. Again I assume a sensor, the automotive places are sure I just need to turn the cap,how many times will it need to be turned 20 cause 3, 4, 5 ,6 none of these stop the problem, super annoying Chrysler cannot just fix the problem, they made the car it cannot be that hard to fix.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica abs braking light comes on unexpectedly and brakes begin to fail. Dealers say it is the abs sensor but they continue to fail.

I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Abs light keeps coming on. Dealer has repaired it twice. Problem keeps re occurring. . .

I was just leaving out of the gas station, went to put on brakes and abs light came on at the same time I put on brakes and felt like a grinding against something. Took car to shop put new brakes on, but didn't resolve the problem. Took car back to the shop because the abs light came back on. Brakes sill having the same problem. I have had this problem checked out 3 times,and they cannot find and problem,but there is something going on with the brake pedal, in it or surrounding it. I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, and I think it might be concerning the Chrysler recall concerning the brake booster rod retaining clip. The brake failure occurs 2 to 3 time month. I thought putting on new brakes would solve the problem,but its coming from somewhere around the brake pedal not the brakes. Had it checked out again nothing was found wrong with brakes. Mechanic said nothing was found loose or missing.

The abs light keeps coming on and the last time the brakes got very spongy. I have been doing some research on this problem and have found that this is very common in this vehicle. To me that should be a safety re-call. The brakes I would think are a very important part if not the most important part of the vehicle. Does someone have to be killed before they are forced to do a re-call?.

Making a left hand turn, I lost braking power momentarily. After that, the abs light came on, but went off after the car was turned off. It comes on and off now intermittently and I on occasion lose braking ability. The abs light does not seem to come on in correspondence with the braking issue however. I am told that this is due to faulty abs sensors which Chrysler refuses to acknowledge.

The abs light comes on no matter what I do. Took to the dealership, they reset the abs but the problem came back a month later. Took it back to the dealer and was told that their engineers were aware of the problem and don't know how to fix it. How am I supposed to know if my brakes are in proper working condition if the Chrysler engineers can't figure it?.

The abs (anti brake system) light started to come on and stay on I brought the car to the garage for repair the light still comes on I have made some research on the internet concerning that problem and discover that a lot of owner having the same type of car as me (2005 & up Chrysler Pacifica) are having the same problem. Also one time when the abs light was on and stayed on while I was driving the abs system cause me to loose brakes for a few seconds when I was trying to brake, this is a serious safety failure and Chrysler should address that.

I purchased a used 2005 Chrysler Pacifica with 68000 miles on it. A week later the abs light came on. I was told it was the sensor but it was ok to drive. My brakes do not brake well and lock up on me. I got the pads replaced and rotors smoothed, but I am still having the sensor problem. While looking on websites, I noticed that many people have the same problem. What can be done to force Chrysler to recall this sensor?.

In October 2008 I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica and I have been having alot braking issues since. The abs light is constantly going on and off and the brake pedal felt bumpy and non-responsive at times. This is dangerous!!!! I have 8 week old twins. I went on the internet to find alot of people are having the same problems. I have yet to go to the dealer with this but after the holiday weekend I will but the abs systems in these cars should be recalled before people get hurt or lose their lives.

My abs light comes on and off I have replaced my wheels rotors and pads assuming that it was my brakes that did not solve the problem and seems like my brakes worked fine but @times I would get like a scrubbing noise seem to be coming from the front wheels well brakes are great. And was told to take my car to a Chrysler dealership because the machine they had would not diagnose the code,well after that I new I would be into spending some money when I came to the dealership,I think this can be a dangerous situation if ever it came to a stop and would nt be able to . I think there should be a recall on the abs wheel sensors and the module control will never purchase another Chrysler in this lifetime very un satisfied consumer this is a serious concern especially some one who has children they are @risk this problem needs to be rectified before as soon as possible someone could end up in a serious accident and I have seen enough of the same problems resulting in the purchase of the Chrysler Pacifica and problems such as this deters me away from purchasing american vehicles such as Chrysler.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the abs light illuminated a few months after the vehicle was purchased in October of 2008. In addition, the brakes were experiencing issues. The vehicle was taken back to the dealer and they stated that there was nothing wrong. The brakes continued to perform abnormally and produced a whistling sound. The brakes also pulsated and made a grinding noise as if they would lock up. The vehicle was taken to a repair shop and the mechanic stated that the pads were fine; however, the dealer installed cheap brake pads on the vehicle. The abs light illuminates intermittently and the contact must pump the brake pedal in order to stop the vehicle. The brakes were repaired and the noises stopped; however, the abs light still illuminates. The failure mileage was 49,000 and current mileage was 73,400.

At approximately 48,000 miles the abs light came on. It eventually went off but then the brakes failed. The pedal went all the way to the floor before the car came grinding to a halt. The abs light now goes on and off and the brake pedal goes all the way to the floor at least once a day. After researching the problem and speaking to a mechanic, I found that the sensors had failed. It is a frequent occurrence among other 2005-2006 Chrysler Pacifica owners I've come into contact with across the internet.

My 2005 Chrysler Pacifica has an abs warning light that comes on and off, I went to midas and they told me there was a recall related to this, I went to dealership and they said only a technical advisory was issued saying to change all the brake sensors if one fails--this would cost me about $500--which I don't have. The dealership said I would still have brakes but the abs system would not work so I would be more likely to skid. This doesn't sound safe to me--I went on line and found multiple sites stating this is a problem with Chrysler Pacificas--so why won't Chrysler pay to have it fixed, and if they don't volunteer why doesn't someone in our government make them? help! I haul kids around all day in my Pacifica and I want them ( and me) to be safe.

I own a 2005 Pacifica that suddenly began displaying the abs dash trouble light two years ago. Subsequently the brakes pulse and grind as long as the light stays light. At times it feels as though the vehicle is approaching total brake failure. I took the vehicle to the dealer who diagnosed the problem and replaced the front right brake sensor. The vehicle returned to normal operating condition with no brake problems. A month later the same brake issues reappeared. I returned to the dealer who the replaced the same sensor and another (front left) sensor. The vehicle returned to normal operating conditions for approximately three more months. Now the light has come on again. In reviewing the internet while searching for "2005 Pacifica abs brake problems", I have discovered that Chrysler has designed in a revenue stream for a poorly designed abs brake system. There are many internet complaints regarding this very issue. Why has a recall not been issued? are you protecting what remains of Chrysler's assets? fair is fair. The abs light remains lit on my vehicle and the dealer wants to bolt on the same replacements. Why is a safety issue regarding the braking system of a vehicle not high on the priority list?.

Within about 3 months of purchasing my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica my abs light started coming on. Now it comes on and stays on. After inquiring about the problem from several shops I have been told it is a very costly fix ranging from 1000-2000 dollars. I am afraid that this problem could result in brake failure at some point and cause a wreck. Chrysler needs to recall this part and fix the many who are complaining about it.

Driving car the abs light comes on, first occurrence dealer replace the front abs sensors under the warranty. Just 400 miles above the 36000 miles the abs light came on again. This time it was the rear abs sensors and I had to pay for them myself (out of warranty). There is a technical service bulletin from the manufacturer on this part recommending dealers to replace all 4 sensors for customers. This part is of poor quality and the manufacturer knows it. Lives are put at risks at customers expense. This part should be recall for all vehicles affected.

We own a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica touring edition. About 3 months after we bought it (and the warranty ended), we noticed that the abs light would come on. Sometimes it would stay on continuously, sometimes it would come off and on. When the light is on, and you press on the brake, the pedal begins to shake a little, and it's very hard to push and you hear a grinding noise. The car does not stop quickly at all, it just slows down a tiny bit. I've had more than 2 instances where I pressed the brake rather firmly and it didn't slow down enough and I didn't stop until I was in the middle of an intersection. I had both of my children with me at the time as well!! we took it to Chrysler where they told us it would cost us roughly $80 an hour for them to figure out what was wrong. We just don't have that kind of money right now. The problem still happens frequently, but there's nothing we can do about it. From the research I have done on this problem, it is a very large problem with the Pacificas. I've seen thousands of complaints online for this exact issue. Please put a recall on it, so that those of us who can't afford $80 an hour can make sure our children are safe on the roads. I'm afraid to even drive my kids to school for fear that the brakes will completely go out. Thank you so much!.
