Other Fuel System Pump Problems of Chrysler Pacifica - part 1

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.

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.

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.

The 2005 chrystler Pacifica was traveling 35 mph in the winter on a paved road when it just died no warning. I had it towed to my house for further testing.

Two separate defect conditions that could result in engine stall while driving in model year (my) 2005-2006 Chrysler Pacifica vehicles (NHTSA recall no. 06v-432). My 2005 vehicles built in August and September of 2004 are being recalled to correct a defect in the secondary fuel pump modules, which may have an improper press fitting on the inlet that can become dislodged and shut-off fuel flow. All my 2005-2006 vehicles built between July 8, 2004 and November 11, 2005 are being recalled to correct a powertrain control module (pcm) software issue with the evaporative emissions system which can also cause stalling. For both conditions, engine stall incidents tend to occur during left turns. Nhtsa action number: rq06002.

While driving straight at highway speeds, engine started hesitating, quickly followed by engine shutdown and total loss of acceleration. Within several seconds engine restarted, followed by a rapid increase in rpms. Then engine shut down again. After pulling off road, I waited several minutes and restarted the car. It would run for 30 seconds or so and then shut down, this pattern repeating until I could find a safe spot to park the car and arrange for tow. Dealership replaced fuel rail pressure sensor, fuel supply tube, and fuel pump. Car is 6 months old.

Tl the contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. On several occasions, while driving various speeds, the vehicle stalled without warning. The contact stated that the fuel gauge also changed from a half tank to empty very quickly. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the fuel pump and power train control module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 06v432000 (power train). A local dealer was not contacted. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 162,000.

Tl the contact leases a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the vehicle stalled numerous times when attempting to accelerate from a stop. The contact took the vehicle to sterling heights Dodge Chrysler Jeep ram (40111 van dyke avenue, sterling heights, mi 48313, (586)-939-3900) where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump control module and fuel pump relay failed. The vehicle was not repaired; however, the dealer replaced the start and stop engine battery. The failure was not remedied. The dealer also test drove the vehicle and was unable to duplicate the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The failure mileage was 3,000.

When I was driving on the freeway (driving 45 mi/hr), it stopped moving accelerating (seems like the car is actually slowing down) even when I was stepping on the gas pedal. And then the car stalled. . . . . . . It was a good thing I was on the very right side of the lane. The fuel pump module and/or the powertrain control module (pcm) software may allow the engine to stall under certain operating conditions, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will need to reprogram/replace the pcm/tcm and/or replace the fuel pump module to correct this concern. In most cases, aside from stalling and engine revving up and down on its own, there's a lot of hard jerking when driving the vehicle. It seems like the engine has a mind of its own since when I accelerate, the car will not move or delay in moving forward and if I let go of the gas, the car moves forward. It's a safety concern.

When fueling gas pump automatically shuts off not letting gasoline into fuel pump. When half a tank of gasoline is left in car it automatically goes down to empty on fuel gauge. Egr valve problem, rpm too high when idled, feel like car slows down on own when driving on highway. Engine light on with p0507 code: idle air control system rpm higher than expected and p1861 fuel line disconnected.

Car is stalling while driving and fuel pump and system have had to be replaced twice! head lights and turning signals are have to be replaced often as well!.

I can't completely fill my fuel tank. At 1/2 tank it bottoms out to empty. The fuel gauge is completely unreliable. When making a left hand turn when the fuel is low it will stall and sputter. I was lucky enough that the dealer I bought it from changed the fuel pump right after I bought it because I ran out of fuel on a trip to ohio from illinois but it didn't fix the issue. I only drive it in town because I'm afraid of running out of fuel. Apparently this is very common with this vehicle and I feel there should be a recall. This issue could cause an accident, someone to be stranded in extreme cold/heat. It's unreliable and a major threat to someone's safety. Chrysler should be ashamed.

My fuel gauge is not reading anything when it's on full I looked other recalls back in those times and that the fuel pump which is the primary wasn't reading the secondary fuel pump.

The gas gauge drops to absolute zero and the low fuel warning comes on even though there is plenty of gas in the tank. This causes a check engine light with the code u1403. There are many owners of 2004-2007 Chrysler Pacificas that have this exact same problem. The general consensus on forums specific to this common problem is there is a gas pressure problem that causes the gauge to not read correctly. People who have taken their car to the dealer for repair report that the dealers usually say the solution is to replace both fuel pumps. Customers, however, report that this is expensive and usually does not fix the problem (check engine light stays on). Most owners say the problem stems from the poorly designed saddle tank and believe the problem is with the gas pressure. I contacted Chrysler and they were no help at all. Two separate customer service reps told me to take it to the dealer. There have been hundreds if not thousands of 2004-2007 Pacifica owners (I also found many Jeep forums with the same problem) and surely Chrysler has a record of these problems and how to fix them. Having each owner take their car to their local Chrysler dealer with no common documented fix means each owner is relying on techs that may or may not be aware of this problem and the proper way to fix it. Trial and error each time is extremely wasteful and expensive for thousands of owners. A recall would at least ensure that each service center has the correct instructions on what is exactly wrong and precisely how to fix it.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. While attempting to refuel the vehicle, the fuel pump would shut off each time after dispensing 2/10 of a gallon of fuel. In addition, while operating the vehicle, the fuel gauge displayed false readings that indicated the fuel tank was half full before the vehicle stalled due to no fuel. Also, the fuel mileage range displayed false information, indicating that the fuel mileage range was 120 miles before the vehicle stalled due to a lack of fuel. The vehicle was examined by an independent mechanic who replaced filters and valves, but the failure continued. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 120,000.

The contact owned a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving approximately 30 mph, the vehicle made a loud buzzing noise and shut down without warning. The vehicle was placed in neutral and pushed to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the contact's residence where an independent mechanic diagnosed that the fuel pump needed to be replaced. The failure was not remedied. The contact stated that the fuel pump was replaced in 2014. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 199,046.

Since I purchased this in 2008, I have replaced the axle, 2 wheel bearings a few months ago, a few years ago 1 abs sensor was replaced via warranty but they wouldn't replace the other - which went out 2 months later. They knew it was going to. I replaced the transmission 2 years, the fuel pump & catalytic converter last year, just replaced the oil pan gasket 2 months ago, the radiator 2 weeks ago due to coolant lead, and now the water pump is leaking coolant. This is just what I can think of off the top of my head. It has been one problem after the other with this vehicle and I have spent a fortune on it. I can't afford to replace it & my VIN doesn't show up on the recalls.

The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving approximately 35 mph, the low oil and abs warning indicators illuminated and the engine stalled. The vehicle was able to restart on the first attempt. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the power train control module and the fuel pump module failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. The VIN was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 06v432000 (power train). The manufacturer was informed of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000.

Driving home from work a good samaritan pulled me over and advised me the gas was pouring out of my car, called fire department and they plugged leak and I had it towed to dealership. They advised me there was questionable damage to the tank and it didn't look like anything was run over or hit but corner of gas tank was severely damaged, lost 3/4 tank of gas on road. The dealership looked over my vehicle, I called insurance company to report incident. They determined that the gas tank would need to be replaced as well as the fuel neck filler valve and both fuel pumps. I had all the suggested work done and two weeks after having my car back I would notice the tank go from 1/2 tank to empty quickly, no leaking gas so I would try to put in gas and only able to put in 2-3 gallons at a time, it then shoots from empty to half tank back down, back up and down. I took it to the dealership again and they determined instead of the used gas tank a brand new one was necessary. Got my car back on 12/30 immediately went to put gas in since they had to drain tank and once again the same problem happened. I cannot put more than 2-3 gallons in gauge fluctuates between 1/2 tank to empty, ran out of gas on highway car stalled in left lane luckily I was able to get over get it towed where they told me it had gas in it, they put in 2 gallons at the dealership and it started right up. This is a safety concern and am scared to drive around three kids in car if it is going to stall. There seems to be a problem with fuel system. Contacted Chrysler and they assigned me a case manager and case number and promised to work with dealership to get car fixed. I have already been without my car 4 times and a total of 5 week since I bought car on 9/07/16. I would love a solution as I love the car.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving various speeds, the vehicle shook and shuttered. The check engine warning indicator illuminated. The failure codes indicated that there were issues with the torque converter and the fuel pump delivery. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 130,000.

The car will just go from half of a tank to e. My husband and son were stranded, because when they left the house it was at a half and then dropped all the way down to e, car stopped. This is very dangerous and I am very upset. We have taken the car back to the car lot at least 5 times, the fuel pump was replaced x 2, then they changed the fuel sensor. The car has never stopped dropping down to e. This is very frustrating, Chrysler should recall these cars. Plz help me and thousand more thnx and god bless.

The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Pacifica. While operating the vehicle with the fuel tank half full, the fuel gauge indicator suddenly decreased to empty. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic who diagnosed that the fuel pump was faulty. The fuel pump was replaced, but the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The VIN was not available. The failure mileage was 76,000.

This vehicle has had one major issue with the fuel system. When the fuel gauge gets to half way, the gauge drops to e and does not want to accept gas. It acts like it's full and you can barely put any gas in. When this happens the vehicle acts like it's out of gas even when it's not causing me to run out of gas while driving down the interstate and sometimes the car won't even start when it drops below half way. Also, my odometer reads gascap like there's a leak but it's a brand new gas cap. I've read days worth of information on the world wide web and this is the most common issue but noone has done anything about it. It is not fair to the consumer. I know I will never buy another Chrysler and I will warn others not to also. Not only that but my seatbelts do not work anymore, two of them anyway. My kids have to sit in the far back to buckle up. I bought this vehicle used. I've had the fuel pumps replaced, the vapor canister and vapor filter replaced, gas cap, ect. Nothing repairs the issue. I know now why the previous owner gave it up, if I didn't have to pay a down payment, I would have already let it go back.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. While parked, the contact smelled fuel coming from the vehicle. The contact also stated that there was an odd smell coming from the vehicle that was not fuel related. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic where it was diagnosed that the frame was rusted out and needed to be replaced. The power steering was leaking and the contact was informed that the fuel pump may need to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failures. The failure mileage was approximately 200,000.

Tl the contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the key was difficult to turn in the ignition to start the vehicle. In addition, the fuel gauge was showing a low fuel amount after the vehicle had been filled with fuel. The vehicle was not diagnosed by a dealer. An independent mechanic inspected the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The manufacturer issued a safety recall campaign (f44 � fuel pump module and/or reprogram pcm). The vehicle was not included in NHTSA campaign number: 06v432000 (power train). The approximate failure mileage was 90,000.

About 3 weeks I let my cousin use car. She made it to indy twice from fort wayne, and once back home before I came to get car she stated she had set alarm off and then car wouldn't start. I had it towed and they couldn't find the problem completely but thought fuel pump. Car turns over perfect just won't fire. So fuel pump replace and about week and a half later it's starts to not start up on first ignite. Sometimes it takes me two-three tries then it starts. Also something weird 2 times while pumping gas and leaving car on, the car shuts off as soon as gas starts filling. Today for the 3rd time I started pumping gas and my car shut off but this time wouldn't start. It once again turns over but won't start. I had it towed again!!!! any suggestions? could 2006 cars need reset to on computer.

So once again this car is having issues with the fuel pump system. I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica (86616) and one day when driving my car just stalled out and would not start for quite some time. I took it to a Chrysler dealership here in baytown and was told that the plastic evap line may have broken due to a design flaw of the line being not only too short but also made of a harden plastic that is supposed to be rubber instead. I was luck enough to be by myself but if I had my god daughter in the car with me it would have been worst or I could have been seriously injured. Now Chrysler wants close to $800 to fix the issue when in fact this was a design flaw to begin with from the start. I am highly upset and also scared to drive any Chrysler car because of the piss poor design and want to know what and if Chrysler will even do anything to help me and my mom out.

A similar incident has occurred on my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica as stated below. "on certain passenger vehicles, the fuel pump module and the power train control module (pcm) software may allow the engine to stall under certain operating conditions. " the manufacture is stating that because of my vehicle's VIN# it wasn't part of this recall# f44. It is clear to me that the same conditions that have happen to the vehicles part of recall# f44 should pertain to any vehicle built prior to the dates associated with this recall Chrysler is recognizing for repairs. All Pacificas should be under the #f44 recall notice, not just a certain portion. I've had to replace the exact same items listed as a necessary repair to correct the problem. As like recall# f44, I to had to replace the fuel pump modules, for the left and right side. However, the difference is it was out of my own pocket for these repairs. All this happened to me too. . . . . And I agree with this person. . . . . So I am re-posting it. . . The fuel gauge started to mess up telling me it was empty and it was not. It would go all over the place form 3/4 to empty. This went on for two days then I was going down the road at 65mph and it sputtered and I pulled over and it was not running and would not start back up. The guy replaced both fuel pumps because of this now I have to pay for this out of my pocket. I was broke down far form my house and any Chrysler dealer, so I had no choose but have it done so I could get back on the road. From what I have read this has happened to many people. Your help would greatly be appreciated. . . . . . Siegle.

We have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica that we purchased used in 2008. The car stalls when turning like the 2004-2005 models that had a recall f44. We contacted Chrysler customer care at 800 992 1997and found out that the previous owner had taken the car in for repair during the initial recall. Chrysler customer care told us to take the car back to Chrysler because it is covered under the safety recall warranty for 10 years. When we took the car in we learned that the engine cradle is corroding another recall x26. The dealer told us it would cost a couple of thousand dollars to repair. Additionally, we were told that we need two new fuel pumps and that this is not covered by the f44 recall because our 2006 car is outside of the 2004 - 2005 model year recall to replace the fuel pumps. We paid the dealer the cost of the service charge $103 for the information and were told we might consider buying a new car. I am surprised/frustrated and angry that Chrysler is not taking any accountability for both very dangerous safety issues and in essence made $103 profit off of their negligence to create a safe car.

I was stopped at a red light. When I put my foot on the accelerator to resume driving, the car began to shake and then it cut off. I had to pull over as quickly as possible. If a car had been driving behind me fast, I could have gotten hit in the back which could have been traumatic or even fatal. I had to have the car towed. The dealership that it was taken to diagnosed the major problem as the 2 fuel pumps needed replacing; in addition to other items. The vehicle only has 126,000 miles. There are other people having the same problem with the Pacifica (2006 and 2008 models as well). Chrysler needs to admit that their fuel pumps are faulty and replace them before a fatality happens and, in addition to replacing the pumps, they are faced with lawsuits.

Vehicle was bought 1 year ago from used car dealership, no carfax available, had 120,000 miles,ran great for 4 months. Started having stalling problems, check light coming off/on, had diagnosed as possible fuel pump gage reading wrong, catalytic converter possible. Had check light reset, continued to have major stalling of engine at any speed. Replaced both primary and secondary fuel pump, catalytic converter, 02 sensor (rear). Total repairs $2,718. 74, still has same problem. Problem when vehicle stalls, loss of power unexpectedly, loss of control due to shutdown causes concern, accident waiting to happen, expenses beyond expectations for general maintenance of vehicle. No help from chysler dealership. Says mileage too high, no warranty for defect, beyond dealership scope of concern for customer.
