Check Engine Light On Problems of Chrysler Pacifica - part 2

On Jan 16, 2012 car missfired on an incline several times within 12 miles, then stalled upon turning right. During the return trip, missfired several times in an incline. Stalled backing out of a drive way. Engine light came on. Took the car to mechanic and the light register the cam shaft. Replaced it. During another incident two days later on Jan. 29, 2012. The car again miss fired on an incline then promptly stalled - not on the turn - during the incline. Had to wait several minutes for the car to start again. The miss firing has been occuring for at least two months intermittantly. I got it checked with the engine light came on, but the replacement of the can shaft didn't correct the problem. The first stall occured on Jan 16, 2012. The engine light is back on after the stall today. After researching this issue, it seems that this is not just my car, but many Pacifica's have this problem. I'll be notifying Chrysler dealer tomorrow. I'm am very concerned about this issue. I do not feel safe in this car.

1st time: driving straight around 20-45 mph when engine light came on & engine started acting up. Stopped shortly at a stop light & engine died. Had to wait several minutes before the engine would start & engine light stayed on until we got to auto mechanic's shop approx 2 miles away. Multiple times in the last 2 months: sometimes engine light comes on as we are stopping or decelerating or turning left after a stop light changes. Engine then acts up & subsequently dies shortly after that. After a few minutes we are able to start it & drive it home or to the dealer. Both the auto mechanic's & at the Chrysler dealer's diagnostic machines identified fault code "p0508 iac circuit low" & told us we had to change out the idle control motor (Chrysler part # 4593851-aa). We have had this part changed out & the throttle body cleaned twice now with no resolution of the problem. We also have noticed on occasion when we have our foot on the brake at a stop, the engine may arbitrarily race for a couple of seconds. Fortunately our foot is on the brake when this happens.

Starting in 2011 my Pacifica's electrical systems seem to be shutting down. First I lost the ability to open windows or use power locks on the passenger side. Next I lost the cruise control function. Now my check engine light appears intermittently. Most recently the air bag light and alarm comes on but only intermittently.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving at an unknown speed, the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. She could not turn off the light because she lost control of the instrument panel functions. While accelerating, the vehicle began to jump.

The contact has not yet received a price quote. She is in the process of notifying the manufacturer. The failure mileage was 44,000.

This has happened three times now (today being most recent). Chrysler Pacifica's engine completely shuts off when taking a left or cutting across traffic to left going at a slow speed. This is extremely dangerous and we have a toddler who we are concerned when we drive in the car. Dealer has run reports and checked car out twice and found nothing. No codes pull up despite the fact the engine light comes on and the system dash says "perform service. ".

2005 Chrysler Pacifica, started having problems at 50,000 miles. Abs sensors had to be replaced and recall for fuel module. . . But most upsetting the car stalls at low speeds or while making turns. . Pulling into parking spaces,etc. . I have brought it to dealership and like many others without engine light on they cannot duplicate problem, therefore we are sent on our way with no fix!! I have 4 children and I am terrified to drive this car!! why wont Chrysler stand behind these vehicles!!!.

The contact owns a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact noticed that the check engine light was illuminated. Subsequently, the contact's mechanic monitored the light for approximately one week. The mechanic was able to retrieve a service bulletin, and the code indicated that when a consumer placed 12 gallons of fuel or less in the vehicle, the check engine light would illuminate. The contact had to pay $70 to have the engine reset. He consulted Chrysler initially for reimbursement, but then for an explanation as to why the feature caused the light to illuminate. Chrysler responded that the vehicle was out of warranty and they denied his request for reimbursement. He informed the dealer that the vehicle did not malfunction because, as he was informed, the vehicle was supposed to perform in that manner. Therefore, the warranty was not an issue. The VIN, purchase date, and engine size were unknown. The current mileage was 64,500 and failure mileage was 64,000.

We were getting onto the freeway and the car lost power and the check engine light kept flashing. Then we regained power a minute or two later.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. While backing out of the driveway at 10 mph, the vehicle stalled. When in reverse, the vehicle goes forward.

The failure mileage was 50,000 and current mileage was 99,500.

Check engine light at approximately 40,000 miles. The check light has come on the vehicle indicating cylinder three misfired. I have taken vehicle to the shop the first time and had the coil replaced. The same light came on with the same warning. This time the spark plugs were replaced, the injections cleaned out, the throttle body cleaned out. I just got it back yesterday and I feel confident that I will have the same thing over the next few days. When this happens, the vehicle idles rough and the car has no power. This vehicle has been maintained higher than the standards call for in the manual. Looks like Chrysler is good for about 40,000 miles, then be prepared to spend some money. I plan to trade the vehicle for a Toyota, though I had supported american made vehicles in the past, with a product like this, you can't afford to. The total cost thus far has been $600. 00. It appears that chrsyler knows the problem exists because of the bulletins, yet they will not recall the car ,and do what is right for the consumers. People can't afford to pay for a vehicle and repair it at the same time with so few miles. The Pacifica is a great riding car ,and I otherwise thoroughly enjoyed it.

On several (10+) occasions in the last month, our car has lost power while driving from what appears to be a fuel starvation issue. On the last event we were nearly rear-ended by following cars due to the sporadic acceleration/deceleration. I have brought the Pacifica to the dealer twice to have the problem diagnosed and have been told twice that no problem can be found and the computer does not indicate a "fault code" for why the check engine light is on.

The contact also stated that the power steering assist would fail intermittently. The failure mileage was unknown and the current mileage was 104,000.

Purchased an 2005 Pacifica June 10th. Was back in the service department 3 days after purchase with check engine light on. Service supposedly repaired problem but after 1 week noticed vehicle misfiring and check engine light back on. Took it back service replaced a part (not sure what) and reset light. As of today this makes my 4th trip to service department with same problem. Check engine light. The mechanic said today it failed the emissions test and he can't figure out why. I left it there and took a rental, but now it kind of feels like I have bought a problem. (check engine light).

After having my Pacifica for 1. 5 years and experiencing 19 problems (54 days in the shop!); 2-3 of which are recurring (I. E. The engine light coming on), even the service department at my dealership stated that they would stand behind my efforts to get a vehicle replacement! we are completely happy with the dealership's service as they have stood behind this "lemon" better than the manufacturer appears to be able to. After talking with the Chrysler representative, mr. Craig kishner, I was informed that the "best" Chrysler could do was to refund my extended warranty price. I pushed back and my boyfriend also called to announce our dismay at the manner in which we are being treated after being tremendously patient for 1. 5 years to see if this "lemon" could be repaired to a reasonable level of usability. Mr kishner then came back with the answer that Chrysler would only "step up" for the previously laughable answer. We had hoped for a laudable answer. I find it difficult to believe that a manufacturer, with the questionable track record of Chrysler, would want to create more adverse publicity than they already have chalked up over the course of their existence. Nonetheless, we will pursue this through the courts and undoubtedly tell all of our friends and business colleauges of this horrific experience.

The contact stated vehicle stall with no warning while making a left turn. The vehicle was taken to the dealership, and they could not duplicate the problem. The vehicle was taken back to the dealership, and they installed the autopilot. When they checked the autopilot, they state it was not working. Upon further inspection, the dealership found there was a problem with the fuel pump. The part was ordered, but according to the manufacturer, the part was being redesigned ,and will not be available until the end of the year. The engine light came on, and the dealership suggested he ignore it. After filling the gas tank the gas gauge showed empty. The dealership stated this was part of the fuel pump problem. The gas gauge still is inoperable ,and he has to constantly put fuel in the vehicle. Updated 12/7/2005.

While driving at 70 mph engine check light came on, then the vehicle started to jerk and stall. Driver pulled off the road. Consumer has contacted the dealership on two separate occasions, but the problem still occurs.
