Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2006 Chrysler Pacifica

Car engine sometimes shuts off when doing left hand turns, the engine looses complete power when this happens. I have to shift the car into park to turn it back on. There are evap codes on but the check engine does not turn on for these codes, smell of un-burnt fuel sometimes makes it in the cabin. Thankfully the stall has not happened with cars coming towards me. The gas cap warning on continuously even though I have purchased many new oem gas caps. This may be related NHTSA campaign number: 04v113000, 06v432000, NHTSA action number: ea06013, I informed Chrysler but they said my VIN is not in the current recalls and was referred to contact NHTSA. My Pacifica has also developed a ticking noise that has reduced the gas mileage and engine power which I believe this to be part of an internal recall which again Chrysler says my vehicle is not part of even though my VIN matches the specifications below: customer satisfaction notification f35 engine connecting rod bearing debris effective immediately, all repairs on involved vehicles are to be performed according to this notification.

I had taken my car in a week ago for an issue with the car making like a popping sound when I turn hard. Well after mechanic drove it and then put it on a rack to take a look underneath and do their inspection they told us we cannot drive vehicle as it is unsafe. The cradle was completely rusted and I could stick my hand in it. At any point in time it could have completely fell off and wrecked my vehicle. It could have been catastrophic. This is dangerous and Chrysler is aware of the issue but refuses to do anything about it. Now we are going to be stuck with the repair bill. I called Chrysler and spoke with an agent named brittney whose only response was I am sorry there is nothing we can do. Even after explaining any type of accident with my children in the car could have been catastrophic. They do not care. Something needs to be done to cover all vehicles. I only have 75,000 miles on the vehicle and the cradle is the only part rusted. Chrysler does not care about any of that just that the vehicle does not fall within the 2004 or 2005 range. Please help something needs to be done before someone loses their life over this issue.

Loud ticking noise and rattling in the engine. 4th time since buying the Pacifica I've had to take it in to get the same issue fixed. The noise sounds like the car is a truck. The issue is the valves, shafts and shaft head. I was also advised that if I were to continue to drive the Pacifica, the engine could blow. This is a defect when they made this car. I know for a fact it's not the dealer I take it to b/c I've been to one in GA, one in orlando, FL and now in miami, FL. I knew what it was before I took it in and every single time Chrysler looks at me like, "just another women complaining b/c she doesn't like the sound. " it's b/c I don't want my engine to blow in my face while driving. I am in tune with my Pacifica and know that sound well. They have had to change the valve shafts each time and even a shaft head. I've owned the car brand new 12/2006, no miles, have had it service regularly like warranty states yet the problem keeps coming back. It has 58,900 miles on it so it shouldn't have this issue almost every year. Last incident has been selected. Previous incidents, every year since 2007.
