2005 Chrysler Pacifica the car shuts off when making a sharp turn. It shut off today 11/26/06 when pulling out into traffic almost causing use to be involved in a serious accident with my children in car. The first few times it happened I was driving and I thought maybe my leg hit the key as it is positioned poorly for tall drivers but ,the ignition would still be in the on position so. Tonight again it happened and my wife is 5'1 and comes no where's near the key. It turns off on its own. I am very concerned about the safety of my family while operating this vehicle.
'05 Chrysler Pacifica engine stalled when making a hard turn into a parking space. Restarted normally, no warning lights or diagnostics.
My wife and I leased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in April. The car stalls for no apparent reason. The first time this occurred was when my wife was driving with our 3 small children. The car stalled and all power was lost. It was raining that day. I drove the car 12/27/05 and the car stalled on me going down a very steep incline. It just so happens that it was raining that day too. I almost hit a utility poll as I lost my steering. I had to really pull on the wheel and pump the brakes to pull off the side of the road safely. I turned the ignition off and restarted the car. The car was brought back to the dealer of origin twice and we were told that they connected the cars computer to a diagnostic machine that informs the dealer if the car has a problem, but both times the dealer couldn't find a problem. At this point I'm very concerned about this issue as I experienced a situation that could have resulted in serious injury to me or any other motor vehicle operator that I could have collided with. I'm placing everyone on notice of this major problem in hopes that someone will do something to correct it before a family member,perhaps yours, doesn't come home one day because a Pacifica stalled and rammed the car in which your loved one was an occupant. The first time this occurred the car had 5000 miles registered and the second time it had approximately 10,000.
