1 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 04/14/2014

While I was driving down the road my car stalled and then cut off in the middle of the road. My car started back up right away but as I continue to drive home it continued to stall and shut off. Thank god there was not very many cars on the road because someone could have gotten seriously hurt. My car has been down since April 2014 and it is now September 2014. My husband and I have put so much money into this car because the mechanics can't figure out the problem. We have had replaced the egr valve, O2 censors, throttle position sensors, idle air control valve, and a tune up and my car still runs the same, like crap. The computer is not diagnosing the car properly and neither are the mechanics.

2 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 09/27/2012

We have had multiple issues with this vehicle since we purchased it. First issue was the cv boots that had completely disintegrated. This occured 62,123 miles. Next issue that is still occuring today and deeply concerns me is that the accelerator pedal sticks from time to time. Not sure what causes that to happen but it scares the living day lights out of me on a weekly basis. Shortly after that the check engine light came on and the panel read gascap. Well we bought a new gas cap and the issue was not resolved. Since then we were told it was the fuel pump that needed to be replaced. Again, more money out of our pocket so unfortunatly we have not had the repair done since we don't have the money to pay for it. Next and biggest issue off all is that while driving down our street I heard a noise that concerned me. When I got home there was a tapping under the hood, the tapping has been continuous since then. The original milage at that time was 85,625 miles. After multiple trips to several different mechanics it has been diagnosed as a tapping lifter. Well this is a very very expensive repair. So easiest thing for us to do is to trade in our car. . . . Not the case. Our car now has no trade-in value because of the lifter issue. I am beside myself and I firmly believe that these are all issues that Chrysler should address under warranty. The maintance on our vehicle is done on a regular basis to avoid issues like this. I feel quite cheated by Chrysler and wish I could request a refund for all of the repairs we have had to do while owning this vehicle.

3 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 06/02/2006

2006 Chrysler Pacifica with 13000 miles stalled making a left turn at a very low speed. There was no warning the vehicle was about to stall. I was turning left in a residential area, driving around 10 miles per hour or less, when I let off the brake to make a left turn, the steering while tightened up and my dash lights came on (the mil malfunction indicator light did not come on). I put the car in park, turned off the engine, and restarted the vehicle. Arrived at my destination few minutes later. An hour later when my family and I were leaving to go to another store, the same scenario; I was turning left to enter the parking area when the steering while tightened up and my dash lights came on. I put the car in park, turned off the engine, and restarted and did not stall the remainder of the trip. It was 90 degrees outside and sunny, and I had more than 3/4 of a tank of gas. Vehicle was manufactured 9/05. This is the same problem that many people have reported with 2004, 2005 and 2006 model year Pacificas. This is an extremely serious issue that concerns us, obviously for safety reasons. Please help.

4 Gas Recirculation Valve (egr Valve) problem

Failure Date: 02/03/2006

2006 Chrysler Pacifica with 1650 miles stalled making a left turn at a very low speed. There was no warning the vehicle was about to stall. I had just come off a major highway where I was traveling approximately 50-60 mph for about 10 miles. I exited the highway and slowed to about 3 mph, when I let off the brake to make a left turn, the steering while tightened up and my dash lights came on. I put the car in neutral, it started right up and did not stall the remainder of the trip. It was 60 degrees outside and sunny, and I had more than 3/4 of a tank of 89 octane gas. Vehicle was manufactured 9/05. This is the same problem that many people have reported with 2004 and 2005 model year Pacificas. This is an extremely serious safety issue that obviously Chrysler hasn't resolved.
