Tank Assembly problems of the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica

Before a leave my town, I tried to put some gas on my tank but car took only 15 dollars worth of gas. I then assumed that the thank was full and then went on my trip. I drove for about fifteen minutes and my gauge that was full dropped to half tank. It was weird but I kept on driving since I had half tank of gas. I was on the highway when after twenty minutes, the gauge dropped to empty and since the gas station was not nearby, I kept on driving to find some gas and the car just stopped because it was out of gas. When I went to the mechanics, they said that one the car has two tanks and that one was empty and one full. They also said that the problem is common to Pacificas. Chrysler needs to recall those cars before somebody gets hurt.

Gas gauge drops to empty from 1/2 to 3/4 tank instantly; occasionally returns to 1/2 full without notice. $10 gas takes gauge from empty to 1/2 full. Never know how much gas is in car. Then about a week after this started, at 75000 miles, the check engine light illuminated on dash. Took to have a diagnostic run, came up, "dealer specific code". Very similar to other complaints noted on this page.

Fuel tank valve defective, allowing fuel into charcoal chamber, also issues with other valves related to the gas tank. Fuel module pcm and tank replacement were required.

I have had my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica for less than a week when my fuel gauge went from 1/2 of a tank to empty while driving. Then it went back up to 1/2 of a tank a minute later. When I went down a hill the vehicle stalled and had to be put in park and restarted. I have two small children and this scared me. I looked up my VIN number but found no recall, however I found this similar problem in other 05 Pacificas and I found that they had been recalled. I have my car back at the dealership getting fixed but am desperate to find out if this recall could be my problem.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Whenever the fuel tank reaches the half full mark, it immediately drops to empty. The failure causes the vehicle to shut off within a mile of being driven. The contact did not notice any differences in the vehicle prior to the failure. The vehicle has not been diagnosed by the dealer. Two years prior to the failure, the vehicle was serviced for the pcm module, which has been changed three times since the contact has owned the vehicle. The current mileage was 53,000 and failure mileage was 48,000.

Several problems with replacing headlights annually about three months apart since ownership 10/06, problem with engine light repeatedly coming on - was advised by certified mechanic it's the fuel tank, very expensive to replace or fix.

(1) vehicle driven two months after purchased used from dealer with about 12,500 miles on it ; tank filled to capacity normally, no stalling incidents. (2) vehicle began hesitating while downhill on a driveway, tank near empty. Filled tank, but only took 9. 6 gallons. When driven to the top of the red empty range, car began to hesitate, or even stall at a stop light. Progressively from that point, less and less fuel can be pumped into the tank, and dealer determined that one half of the tank is full, the other at the filler neck is part full. Dealer believes a "valve" inside the tank is the problem -- part on order. Meanwhile, I can not fill the tank with more that 4. 5 gallons, and it reads 2/3 full at that point. Car continues to stall on downhill driveway when gauge reads at the top of the red empty range. When tank cap is removed, there is a rush of air either in or out of the tank.

1. The vehicle stalls and/or turns off when making a left turn. It also stalls and/or turns off at stop lights when the gas pedal is pressed to . The fuel tank is at half full during all events and actually drops to zero for minute then returns to half full. 2. I have almost been hit in traffic, at intersections, several times because the vehicle quit. I am only able to fill the tank half of the time otherwise it only let me fill to 3/4 full. Due to the mpg rating this means frequent trips to the gas station. 3. I have taken it to the dealership 3 times. They were "unable to reproduce" the problem the first two times. They determined that it was a fuel module problem after the third time because the problem occurred with the service technician was there. A replacement part has been ordered but has been, of course, on backorder for 3 weeks. Still no fix. Cars stopping in traffic is a serious safety issue. Please do a quick search on the internet and you will find many instances of the problem. It's not isolated and should be investigated as a recall. Thank you.

Vehicle stalls without warning when fuel level gauge is near half tank. The fuel level will go down to half and soon after it will drop unexpectedly to e and will stall out before you know what is happening. Car will restart and make it to a gas station. Upon filling the tank it will only take 9-11 gallons of gas. This car has a 23 gallon tank. The tank also has problems filling. It takes 5-10 min of frustration to get 10 gal in it. Rollover ball maybe?.

Vehicle has shut off many times when making a left turn, sometimes when going straight and now this week indicator says it is out of gas with few miles til empty displayed on dash- will tank up and only takes 10 gallons to top off- it was not empty then it will start again.

The contact bought a new 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. After 20 days of driving it was on a residential street where vehicle shut off. There was no current to the battery. The contact took the vehicle to the mechanic, and they told me they could not duplicate it. Then they called Chrysler, and they told him that the problem happened because the gas tank dropped below half full. Also, they said that they would be working on this problem in January or February 2006.
