general problems of the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica

My gas pedal sticks while driving the car or after I stop the car at a light or sign. When at a complete stop, I have to push hard on the pedal,which makes the car lurch forward. When I am driving on the expressway, it gets stuck and I am not able to accelerate, which can cause an accident. I see that I am not the only one with this problem. I took the car to the dealership, the tech knew what I was talking about, said that it was a throttle body assembly that gets old and needs to be replaced for 200 bucks. If this is happening on the majority of the Pacificas, why do the consumers need to pay to have it replaced. This is a strict liability negligence, not my fault.

1) when depressing the acclerator pedel about 1/4" it catches or sticks. 2) you must force the pedel down to "unstick" causing a rapid acceleration of the vehichle 3) dealer says its a defective throttle body, and not covered under warranty or recall.

I have a 2005 chyrsler Pacifica. The gas pedal is sticking. It sticks hard enough that you have to forcefully push the accelerator peddle down. This causes unwanted rapid acceleration! the problem is getting worse in the past three weeks. The pedal has gotten stuck four times. I was backing out of a parking space and the car accelerated in reverse. Unsure, if my family car is safe, for my family.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica throttle requires excessive force to depress causing the vehicle to lurch forward when the throttle finally moves. We reported the issue to our dealer approximately 18 months ago. They seemed to have prior knowledge of the issue and repaired it while the vehicle was in for repairs after striking a dog (unreleated to the defect). Now the issue has returned and when my wife called to schedule service to have the issue repaired again the dealership wouldn't schedule a time to repair the defect and actually acted as if they weren't aware of the issue and would need several hours to troubleshoot the issue prior to repairing it. I researched the issue online and evidently this is an issue with the throttle body assembly which typically takes an hour of labor time to treat the symptom which eventually returns. It also seems to be a common issue with the Pacifica. The issue with our vehicle is becomming serious and now that our local dealership in lugoff, SC seems to have no desire to help us I'm not sure where to take it for repair.

Defective sticking gas pedal on Chrysler Pacifica.

The car will stall at intermittent times when going at low speeds and low rpms. The stalling causes the steering wheel to freeze up. The car will start immediately after the stall. I have taken the car to an authorized Chrysler dealer, darcars, several times and they cannot diagnose the problem. It appears similar in nature to the safety recall f44 which was issued on later Chrysler Pacifica models in 2005-2006. The issue occurs almost daily and have not had any parts replaced because the Chrysler mechanic, darcars, cannot duplicate the issue. I have brought this stalling issue up with Chrysler and opened up a case, # 19090751, which they closed because they stated that my car was outside the safety recall f44 as well as that darcars could not replicate the problem. The stalling is intermittent, as stated previously, and I have sent the logs to darcars as to when it happens.

2005 awd Chrysler Pacifica, gas pedal binds requiring driver to overpressure the pedal to move forward. Once overpowered the car can lurch forward from the sudden over fuel condition.

Gas gauge drops from 1/2 to empty in seconds if you don't get to a gas station quickly the vehicle will shut off. There is no warning. Vehicle still has gas but will shut off. We have been stranded several times on the interstate. Very dangerous for a family. According to searches I have made lots of 2005 Pacificas have the same problem starting at around 45,000 miles. I haven't found any answers to the problem.

My wife and I own a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, which we are having a problem with the gas pedal sticking. While accelerating the pedal sticks and jerks you forward until you have smooth acceleration while pushing the gas pedal. I feel this is a safety problem. We have been to the dealers about this and they say everything is fine but have noticed the problem themselves. I have noticed that there is alot of the same problems after browsing the internet that others are having the same problem. This is going to get someone killed if this isn't looked into. Thank you.

Accelerator sticks in idle position. The problem is continuous once engine reaches operating temperature. Occasionally accelerator sticks requiring very heavy foot pressure to break loose causing the vehicle to lurch forward.

Car stalled while accelerating after idling at stop light.
