1 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 01/30/2021

Fuel pump nozzles don't work with Pacifica and auto shut off every second. There must be something wrong with design where nozzle senses fuel and shuts off. This is not only super annoying but a safety hazard. Since the fuel pump auto shuts off every two seconds, I have to keep pressing it and don't know when it is false and when it is really a full tank. This results in overflow (top off effect) which is hazardous!!! this is not isolated. . . . 4 out of 5 pumps do this! please help as I know others have same issue from the online forums. I can provide video of this.

2 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 11/20/2020

This vehicle is a handicap conversion van modified by revability / vmi in the modification - revability has replaced the factory fuel tank with one of their own design and construction. In doing so - they use the Chrysler factory components such as the fuel pump, fuel gauge sender unit, emissions connections, etc. However - the fuel gauge has never worked properly since I purchased the van and it gives misleading information about the fuel level. It registers only 3/4 full on the dash when in fact the tank is full. If you try to add any more fuel (as I found out when I first purchased the van) - it affects the emissions controls severely and makes the van un-drivable; in fact the engine will stall unexpectedly in traffic which is a severe hazard. Further - the low tank level is unpredictable so you are never sure when to refill, if the fuel gets too low then the engine can also stop in traffic. The company is well aware of this problem but cannot fix it. I have had it to the original selling dealership (jay hatfield mobility in lee's summit missouri) several times as revability said the repairs were covered under their manufactures warranty. The dealership has been unable to fix the problem and has since not renewed their contract with revability. So the problem still exists and the powertrain 'check engine' light comes on periodically - which jay hatfield mobility said they had nothing to do with and would not do any further repairs. My wife is handicapped and in daily rehab treatment - so I need this van every day and need it fixed properly - however the van conversion manufacturer has no instructions or information that they can supply for a correct repair. I believe that revability / vmi should be responsible for fixing this problem properly or replacing this van as it is / can be a safety hazard to operate without a properly functioning fuel gauge.

3 Other Fuel System Pump problem

Failure Date: 06/15/2019

Leasing 2017 pacific touring l. Ever since it passed 8k miles, jerking movements after coming to a stop, like some body hit you from behind. Took it east hills Chrysler and Jeep dealer in long island, NY twice. The first time they updated the software they said. 2nd time they couldn't duplicate the problem. Ofcourse cuz this jerking movement happens. Sometimes. In June 2019 this is happening a lot everyday with the NY city traffic on the highway. May 2019, van stalled while stopped at red light. Screen said �shift to park to drive. . . . � had to do shift and press the start button twice to get the control back of the vehicle. This time wife and 2 children with me. Of course ppl started honking and yelling cuz it's nyc. Also most of the time while fueling, the fuel pump stops. Really scared to drive this van anymore.
