I had gotten a catalyc converter approximately 2 years ago and now the Chrysler dealer say I need another one I thought they last longer than that, instead they say its wear and tear I do not think so I think there is a defect in the the emission.

While turning into the bank parking lot at 10mph the car just stalled. I was unable to brake or steer out the way. When gas gauge reads empty I am unable to fill the tank with gas as it begins to spill back out. Gas gauge reads 1/2 full when it is really empty? miles to empty sensor incorrect therefore I have no idea when I need gas. Driver side exterior headlamp seems dimmer than the other lamp. After repairing the entire front end(suspension) still sounds like the front end is going to fall apart when driving on ohio roads. Felt it was necessary to document as I do not feel safe in this car.

When shifting from park to drive or reverse the gas pedal is pressed and appears to "stick" . When pressed with more force the automobile "lurches" quickly either forward or backward depending on which gear has been selected. This is occurring on a daily basis. I will be making an appointment with the dealer. No injuries or damage have occurred as of yet, but the potential is there.

I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica with 3. 8 liter engine with broken motor mounts. These cannot be fixed/replaced because the parts are not available from the manufacturer or any parts supplier. When I ordered the parts in January 2009, there were already 3500 on backorder with no due in date. As of 4 may 2009, Chrysler can still not provide the parts nor a due in date.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica motor mounts need to be replaced and I am told the parts are on a national back order and I cannot get my car repaired. It has been six months and I am told that there is no way to get the part and no date in the future that the part will become available. I have contacted Chrysler and the can provide no information.

I recently(last week) had transmission service along with power transfer unit fluid change and awd service on my 05 Chrysler Pacifica (limited). It has 50+ k miles on it. Day after this service (done at Chrysler dealer), my truck stalled while taking turn to right at low speed. I had to stop completely and restart the engine. Never had problem after that so far.

Very loud popping/clunk sound from front half of vehicle. Car in reverse backing out of garage, wheels turned to straighten out and then shifting into drive, car makes a loud pop when making first turn. Brought to dealer, replaced axles, still popping. Returned to repair, couldn't find problem. Brought in again and replaced axles again saying they were sure it was a bad batch previously. Still popping loud. Car has to be cold, can't duplicate for dealer. I fear something is breaking and will cause an accident.

This is an old story. 2005 Chrysler pasifica. I adjusted (move forward) accel and brake pedal position by electric position adjustment system. Then I went to a highway (i94, mi), my car did not speed at all. Very slow. So, I could not follow the flow of other vehicle, I was almost be crashed. I immediately quit from the highway and checked the pedals. The reason of the issue was poor stroke of the pedals. In case of Pacifica, when we move the pedals forward more than middle position, moving range of the accel pedal was reduced less than half because the pedal hit on the floor. Also, this problem causes auto cruise system problem. Because the pedal can not move more than half of its range, the system can not pull the pedal correctly. Then the vacuum hose drops out from the line. My vehicle suddenly slow down when the problem occurred. I went to Chrysler service center and they reconnect the vacuum hose again. I am sure this is a design error and should be improved immediately. Maybe recall.

Vehicle stalled while turning into parking spot at low speed. Power steering was lost at that time making it difficult to maneuver vehicle. When vehicle was placed into park, I was able restart the vehicle and safely park.
