Since I purchased this in 2008, I have replaced the axle, 2 wheel bearings a few months ago, a few years ago 1 abs sensor was replaced via warranty but they wouldn't replace the other - which went out 2 months later. They knew it was going to. I replaced the transmission 2 years, the fuel pump & catalytic converter last year, just replaced the oil pan gasket 2 months ago, the radiator 2 weeks ago due to coolant lead, and now the water pump is leaking coolant. This is just what I can think of off the top of my head. It has been one problem after the other with this vehicle and I have spent a fortune on it. I can't afford to replace it & my VIN doesn't show up on the recalls.
In the past two years I have had to replace the abs vehicle sensors on my Pacifica three times. . . Even the dealer service tech says this should be a recall.
Faulty abs and traction control sensor on 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Both lights are on. Called Chrysler, they say they have not heard any complaints! I am the second owner, but the first sensor was replaced at 18,000. This seems to be widespread, and I am surprised Chrysler is not recalling this, especially since this is also a safety issue. I did a quick search for "abs sensor traction control Chrysler Pacifica" and found quite a few excerpts from websites. I have them in an excel file--I would like to send them to you. Let me know an e-mail address. Updated 09/18/07.
Three of four abs wheel sensors have failed in last 6 months. Thousand of sensors are on backorder from Chrysler.
The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving on the road on October 4, 2005 went to hit the brakes and pushed the pedal as far as it would go, had no brakes. Had to swerve out of the way to get out of the middle of the street. Had to put on the emergency brake to stop the vehicle. The car was 6 months old. It was the second time this happened. 4 sensors on car, 2 out of 4 sensors tore. The contact took vehicle to the dealer, and the dealer did fix the vehicle which was still under warranty. No police reports. No crashes.
