Fuel Pump problems of the 2006 Chrysler Pacifica

2006 Chrysler Pacifica. Consumer requests reimbursement for a fuel pump replacement. The consumer stated prior to the replacement, she was not informed or notified of a recall, until a google search revealed the recall. Also, in February 2013, the catalytic converter was replaced at a cost of $800 and the brake system was replaced at a cost of $500. 00.

This last Friday, the 11/18/11, was the last incident where it finally stalls completely and I have to move out of traffic. For over a month now, the gas gauge has dropped to zero (when I know I have gas in there) so I have to keep up with that on the side, the electrical trip mileage gauge says gas cap, checked it, kind of jittery, where it would jerk and not accelerate on the road, until this last Friday when I turned a corner, and it just stalled. Started it up, and went down the road and as soon as I accelerated in oncoming traffic, it stalled again, pulled off the road towards oncoming traffic and sat for a moment, gentleman stopped to help me, and said it might be overheating, to turn my heater on and leave it running since I still had several miles to go to get home and everyone was gone at the house. So I turned it back on and heated it up and away I went, got about a mile and it stalled again, so I went on the shoulder and coasted for about another mile and started it up and coasted it again, 'til I got to our small town and started it up, went to take a corner, and it stalled on the corner, so I coasted a bit again, and started up, and went down about a mile, put into neutral (so not to use gas and accelerate) around the corner and went down about another mile, put into neutral again, took the corner, back into drive and down the road to the house, took another turn in neutral, and coasted into the drive way. I've noticed that there is a recall with 2006 Chrysler Pacifica for the fuel pump and control module with power train. . Read more...

We purchased our 2006 Pacifica, certified used, in may '07 with less than 21k miles. Within a few weeks the car started stalling - frequently. The first time it happened, I was exiting the freeway. As I approached the bottom of the ramp, my car stalled and the steering wheel locked. I ended up in the oncoming traffic lanes (it was early; there were no cars at the time). The subsequent stallings would occur anytime I was making a right or left turn or just coming to a stop (at about 3-7mph). The car has been in 7 times for repair (totaling more than 30 days, and has incurred over 300 miles of testing). We have had the idle undershoot reprogrammed, 2 fuel pumps replaced, pcm reprogrammed, a new pcm, once was told it was just "out of gas" - even though it said I had 30 miles to go and fuel light wasn?t on - they put a couple of gallons in my tank, enough to get me to a gas station (now I had 60 miles to go) and car stalled again after filling tank. It's now back with the dealer (6 days now), after having been towed in we couldn't even back out of the driveway without it stalling. It is currently being looked at with the help of Chrysler, but were told they cannot duplicate the problem (even though we were able to duplicate it with their mechanic in the car a few days ago). Frustrating and disturbing. This is a serious issue and just a matter of time before someone has an accident. How many cars can we continue to avoid hitting?.

When making a left turn, vehicle shuts off (stalls). Vehicle was completely warmed up and had been driven about 20 miles at the time of stall. This is the second time this vehicle has stalled in the past 2 months. First time vehicle was serviced at the location purchased and unable to identify the problem. This time another call was made to dealer and an appointment scheduled to have the vehicle looked at again, but with the "check engine" light not on, dealer is sure a diagnostic test will show nothing. Phone call to daimler Chrysler to discuss the issue produced no results. Csr indicated that daimler Chrysler is not aware of a stalling issue with these vehicles.
