general problems of the 2006 Chrysler Pacifica - part 1

Key fob program.

Entered freeway battery light came on and lost power. Starting exiting freeway then car excelerating on its own. Engine was reving and humming so much I thought the engine would catch on fire. Car would not slow down. I had to put it in neutrual and hit the brakes as I exit the freeway to safely parked. Called tow truck for service.

As it would seem is a very common problem, the oil pressure sending unit has failed and leaks oil on and into the harness plug. Upon researching this issue this seems to be a very common issue with this particular vehicle and can present both a costly fix and a fire hazard. While driving the oil pressure warning indicator light illuminated indicating an issue with the vehicle's oil pressure. Upon taking it to the shop ot was discovered that the oil pressure sending unit had failed and was leaking oil into and on the harness plug. The vehicle is scheduled for repair tomorrow.

While getting car service my mechanic told me the subframe is all rotten not to drive the car . He said the motor may fall out. .

I started the car and could not shift, move the windshield wipers, run radio, put the front windows down. . . . Lights work, trunk lid raised.

Also, the vehicle experienced unintended acceleration and lurched forward. While braking on wet pavement, the abs malfunctioned and caused the vehicle to slide. Also, a burning odor was present coming from the air vents and the fuel cap indicator remained illuminated. The vehicle was taken to tom ahl Chrysler (672 kings Ave, lanmor, OH) to be diagnosed, but the cause of the failures could not be determined. The manufacturer was notified and did not assist. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 155,000.

Tl- the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle stalled and shut off without warning. The contact also stated that the gauges on the vehicle would move up and down independently while the engine was ceased. The electrical system also would operate independently by giving inaccurate readings on the vehicle. Upon investigation, the contact associated NHTSA campaign number: 06v432000(power train) with the failure. The manufacturer and the dealer(ginn Chrysler Jeep Dodge 5190 us-278, covington, GA 30014 770-679-2202) where they both informed him that the vehicle was not under recall. The vehicle had not been repaired. The failure mileage was 134,000. Jo.

I can't completely fill my fuel tank. At 1/2 tank it bottoms out to empty. The fuel gauge is completely unreliable. When making a left hand turn when the fuel is low it will stall and sputter. I was lucky enough that the dealer I bought it from changed the fuel pump right after I bought it because I ran out of fuel on a trip to ohio from illinois but it didn't fix the issue. I only drive it in town because I'm afraid of running out of fuel. Apparently this is very common with this vehicle and I feel there should be a recall. This issue could cause an accident, someone to be stranded in extreme cold/heat. It's unreliable and a major threat to someone's safety. Chrysler should be ashamed.

The dealer diagnosed that the power module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacture was made aware of the failure and stated that the vehicle was not included in a recall. The failure mileage was 122,000.

I was on freeway doing 60_70 miles per hour when I noticed my car felt like it was not accelerating and gas pedal felt stiff like when car is off. I had my whole family in car and I could of wrecked if I didn't notice in time to put car in neutral and restarted it some how before we got rear ended. I got off freeway somehow and turned car on and off again a few times and it seemed like it was a one time thing . A few miles later it did same thing and I was stalled out in middle of on coming traffic . Cars braked and swerved out of my way to avoid rear ending us . My children were scared cause of this happening out of the blue. I now have no desire to even drive my car with any of my family in it incase this happens again. I contacted Chrysler but they claimed my VIN wasn't part of the f44 recalls but I know it is same issues. . . I will be taking car to Chrysler first thing in morning to leave them car to find out why my family almost got in accident due to this issue. So in total it stalled out on me 6 times twice on freeway the rest on city streets just to get home . . . . This is a serious issue that could of killed everyone in my vehicle if I didn't react fast enough to avoid that from happening. .

While driving my car I turned on my turn signal to turn right onto the highway, and upon accelerating my check engine light beeped and turned on, then as I turned my wheel and tried to accelerate it wouldn't and then my car died. I then had my car towed to my house where it remains until I have it towed to the dealership.

Gas cap light always remain on. My rpm gauge is jumping an all of my indicator lights are on. These things happen upon starting the vehicle. There is a rough idle and I have to push a pink button to shift hers. The gears will not shift. I see that there was a recall for vehicles of my brand but my VIN number is not on the recall list. When I had my vehicle checked, I was informed that there was a recall that will take care of the issues that I am having.

The drivers seat quit working and all controls on the stearing wheel quit working and could not shut turn signals off.

This vehicle had a recall from Chrysler. I was given a claim # 295-449-32 and when I spoke to Chrysler I was told that our VIN # was not covered due to the fact that they themselves had ended the recalled vehicles 2 weeks before ours was produced. That is absolutely ridiculous as our vehicle suffered the exact same problems as they all did 2 weeks earlier!!!.

As I was driving all of a sudden the dashboard and headlights started flickering and the warning icons dinged on. This has continued to occur and the mechanic can not determine the cause of the problem.

My car failed on us as we were on our trip towards brownsville texas. The electrical in my car started flickering and the motor kept accelerating itself. . Then the gas indicator went from showing half tank full to 10 miles to empty. . We were in the deserted part of the checkpoint ranch so we had about 30 miles until a gas station we thought we couldn't possibly just run out of gas, but as we continued 5 minutes later our car electrical just sounded a spark and our car starting shutting off, hard steering to pull on side of road. . But thank god we had no vehicles behind us so that prevented an accident from happening. . We called family member to go help us haul our car to a nearest gas station or mechanic. . Something I never want to experience with my children 3 and 1 in my car and the hot summer. . I have searched for my car if it falls in the recall category but it shows nothing. . Yet it showed to have similar defects as the ones being recalled.

The first issue occurred in may while driving my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica uphill at about 35 mph. About halfway up the hill my car stalled unexpectedly and locked up. I slammed on the brakes and pulled on the steering wheel (the automatic steering was out) with a lot of force to put my back right tire on the curb to stop sliding down the hill. Then I was able to put the car in park, turn the car off, and restart the car. I pulled into the next available parking lot to recover and try to evaluate my car for what the issue was. The second issue occurred while driving in a residential area, traveling about 30 mph, my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica stalled without any notice. Everything locked up. Thankfully I was in a low traffic area and the cars behind me were following at a safe distance. I was able to pull to the side of the road where I put the car in park, turned the car off, and restarted the car without issue. My concern now is that this issue will continue to happen and may cause an accident. When my car shuts off, there is no indication that it is going to happen.

The contact stated that while traveling 25 mph the abs lights, and brake lights illuminated, followed by a chime noise that sounded through out the vehicle. Prior to the vehicle loosing it electrical power, there was a brief stall. The manufacturer was notified. The battery was replaced. The vehicles failure recurred on 4 different occasions. The failure mileage was 74,903 and the current mileage 75,139.

Reccall f44 (fuel pump module). This recall was for repair/replace of module due to fact that Pacifica cars stall with faulty unit. My car has stalled numerous times. I took to dealer as instructed by recall letter. The dealer said they made repair. My vehicle continues to stall. Dealer would not replace part again. I am stuck with a vehicle I cannot drive because it is unsafe to drive.

First began 11/2013 when headed out after picking up my daughter, slowed to enter left turn lane (on major busy intersection at night!) and entire car simply died - fried the battery (it was only a yr old & the second time I had replaced it since I purchased it two yrs prior from original owner) nearly was hit by several cars before tow truck arrived (so dead couldn't even be shifted into neutral!) after multiple opinions by several mechanics had to face the fact that issue w/rods caused metal pieces to infiltrate oil (all oil changes on time, previous before incident 6 week prior) causing all engine bears to go. Luckily, was able to work out a fairly decent deal to the tune of $1200, only to be faced w/multiple additional needed repairs thereafter and over a year later, I'm still trying to get to the bottom of why engine totally stalls when coming to a complete stop if my a/c is on - check engine light has been on since I purchased it & still won't stay off despite multiple re-sets & computer checks, as is abs light (again, checked multiple times & since no issue I have left it as is) now battery light also comes on intermittently. All codes come back fine, and hoses & seals all fine. . . . As of two days ago, seems I'm now looking at engine cradle issue as well! nearly $3000 in (just counting these latest issues!) after replacing battery for a third time & tire replacement (all 4) twice within a year, in addition to breaks & rotors for 2nd time in 2 years . . . Seems to be a common problem w/these vehicles and yet my VIN # isn't included in the recall. . . Shame on you Chrysler. . . . I am a single mother, who has had all regular maintenance and upkeep & cannot afford to continue to throw $ into this issue, and am afraid every time my kids are in the car that the stalling issues will cause a horrible accident!.

Tl-the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while making a hard turn on an intersectionat approximately 5 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and the fuel pump gauge malfunctioned, showing an inaccurate reading. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was then taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the dual saddle gas tanks were not transferring gas between each other and the fuel pump was replaced. However, the failure recurred on several occasions. The contact was made aware of NHTSA campaign number: 06v432000 (power train) but the VIN was not included on the campaign. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 113,180. Kr.

Car was parked/ spontanious fire/ inside totalled.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving 25 mph, a chime sounded as the abs and the brake warning lights illuminated. In addition, the vehicle stalled and all of the warning and exterior lights illuminated intermittently. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 40,000.

While in reverse in parking lot, car stalled causing loss of braking power and vehicle rolled into another parked vehicle. Since incident, when vehicle is placed into reverse, vehicle immediately stalls. Also, motor mounts have broken and this appears to be a big issue with the Pacificas.

Obtained car brand new in 2006, yr later had to replace engine, was said they gave us a new one, prior to that we had sunroof issue that still persist to this day 6years later. . . Electrical off. One minute you have gas and next minute literally fuel light is on. . Fast forward a tad 2007 stalling problems,. . . Fast forward even more 30,000miles later. . . . Stalling allllllllot,especially while I'm driving with my kids. Making a u-turn and just simply parking into a space no go. . Gas cap light is on, check engine light on. . . . Currently vehicle is at dealership which was charging us $2,632. 00 to fix problems, besides overcharging ridiculously, Chrysler offered to pay most of bill after doing research and realizing we were getting ripped off, a two day job is now turned into 1week, no vehicle, no loaner. . 6yrs. Later failed emissions test is what prompted me to take it to a dealership. . . Now I cannot pass an emissions test nor register my vehicle @ end month>( today). Would like to trade, however they low balled me & said $4,000. They cannot get car to reset, and still could not find out why it is stalling. After letting dealership know I have an open case seems like they are singing a different tune. . . Still no car/ no fix. . .

Car has stalled (engine cuts out completely) without any warning and while being driven at least 4 time. Most recent was while merging onto freeway it just stopped, nearly causing fatal accident to my daughter who was driving at the time. Complete shut down of car causes the steering wheel to lock with no means of getting to side of road. You're a sitting duck for a crash. Fortunately, she got the car in park and restarted it. The car is at stevens creek Chrysler dealership (towed there today). I am also in touch with Chrysler corporation regarding this flaw and reparations that are due me from this lemon. The dealerships number is 408 248-1800. They are aware I am pursuing my options with this dangerous car and I really don't want it back even if they tell me they've fixed it. I don't trust this problem as it's rampant and cars are being recalled for this reason. It's a blessing my daughter wasn't killed from what this car did.

I was turning left at about 10 miles per hour and the engine of the car turned off.

Burns oil, brakes flutter , check engine light on no one can figure out why or how to turn it off I live in California so light on gives me an automatic fail on my smog test all of this is ongoing and has been for over a year.

The driver side & middle row power outlets do not work.

I drive a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica touring. I have had issues with the abs light coming on and off. It does not make a difference the speed I am traveling and when I come to a stop it begins to vibrate and I rearended the people infront of me. I have also had issues with my car stalling for no apparent reason. It is hard to believe that there is not a recall on this particular unit. I have called the dealership and also Chrysler and they said no problems have ever been documented. . . They need to start checking this site and see that all of the problems are the same.

Fails to start.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. While attempting to open the door, the contact receives an electrical shock from the vehicle. The power locks and doors fail to operate, but the vehicle is able to be driven. The dealer was notified. The electrical module on the passenger side door had been replaced three times. There are no recalls regarding this failure. The current mileage was 14,699 and failure mileage was 680.

After I have been driving fine for a while, I will turn (into a parking lot etc. ) and need to turn again and the car will die.
