| Investigations Summary: | This investigation was opened on Feb. 27, 2006. It was closed on Jun. 22, 2006. on February 27, 2006 rq06-002 was opened in response to 60 complaints of engine stall, mostly during left-hand turns, in model year (my) 2004 to 2006 Chrysler pacifica vehicles that were outside the scope of recall 04v-113. In March 2004, daimlerchrysler initiated recall 04v-113 on 34,561 my 2004 pacifica vehicles to correct a condition that could result in engine stall while making a left-hand turn after a cold-start. During rq06-002 it was determined that recall 04v-113 did correct the specific cause of the engine stalling condition for that specific population. However, two other conditions were identified that could also cause engine stalling during turning maneuvers:(1) an issue with misbuilt fuel pumps that primarily affected about 17,000 my 2005 pacifica vehicles built during August and September 2004; and (2) a software condition affecting vapor purge in about 131,000 my 2005-06 pacifica vehicles built from July 2004 through November 2005. An engineering analysis, ea06-013, has been opened to further examine the scope, frequency and safety consequences associated with each of these conditions in the subject vehicles. |
