What owners say
Steering veered to the right. Steering was very shaky. Took car into mechanic and I need new tie rod on passenger side and bushing is completely gone. I was told I should no longer drive the car because rod may be cracked and I could lose all steering control ($850). Had similar problems on driver side two years ago and mechanic fixed ($1,000). Also a few years ago, my fiance lost complete control of car while driving. Computer shut down while driving. Dealership replaced computer chip (800k mile warranty) but now lights flicker in car. Please please inform customers of these problems before someone gets hurt.
I purchased the car in june 06, car was ok, barely drove it, when the summer arrived more driving. Car stared to shut off while driving the vehicle, numerous time, called tow truck, mechanic. Mechanic says car fuse blowing, major electrical issue. Could not find part to replace wiring chassis and harness. So I kept driving the car, sometimes when turning left car dies out, might restart but might not. Parked the car for a while to sell, cant get a buyer 4 an electrical issue. Drove again, same trouble almost always when turning left, engine control fuse 20amps, blows out, replace may restart may not. Had an electrical specialist look he says this was a recall, I checked looks like my car not in the VIN# sequence, chrysler says no way won't help.
Your choice for the type of car did not list the pacifica. I checked lhs which is wwrong. The car that is giving us a problem is a chrysler pacifica 2004. Three months ago the paciifica had a stalling problem, it would stall when we would slow down for a red light . After two tries it was fixed a week ago so who knows whether it has been fixed. A solenoid-linear iacv was replaced. We also have a starting problem. When you turn the key absolutely nothing happens, no lights, the engine doesn't turn over. If you wait 15 minutes or more the car will start up. The incidents are increasing from once a week to every day. The battery has been checked and it is okay.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 55 MPH the vehicle started to jerk, the engine and cruise control light illuminated and the vehicle stalled and was unable to restart. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the vehicle remained for a month. The dealer determined the problem was the computer module (or chip) and it needed to be replaced coupled with a fuel injection cleanse. Two miles later after leaving the dealer the vehicle presented the same problem and stalled. The vehicle was towed back to the dealer.
Dt*: the contact stated while driving 60mph, the engine stalled without warning. The vehicle would not restart and was towed to an independent repair shop for a diagnostic test. Although a failure code was not detected, the problem persisted. The vehicle is currently at the dealer awaiting further inspection.
Dt: the contact stated while driving the vehicle stalled. The vehicle started after sitting for approximately one to two minutes. The dealership inspected the vehicle multiple times, but they could diagnose the cause of the problem. The fuel system was cleaned , and the transmission was redone, but the problem persisted.
Today when I started to drive my 2000 lhs, it would not shift to the highest gear. The RPM's remained very high. The speedometer stays at zero. The overhead instrument panel does not work. The malfunction indicator light comes on and stays on. I proceeded to drive a short distance. When coming to a stop or when slowing around a corner, the oil light comes on and I lose power steering and the engine stalls. I cannot drive the car. I will contact the dealer (bermont motors, gilbertsville, pa) immediately. My 1994 lhs had total transmission failure and needed a whole new transmission. My car was bought in december 1999 and I only have 37,000 miles on it. Besides this, the molding around one door and around one headlamp is coming off. The black trim is discolored. I am quickly loosing my confidence & dependibility in chrysler products. I doubt if I will ever buy another chrysler car.
Transmission is popping from drive to lowest gear at 45 MPH and is causing the vehicle to stall. Consumer will take vehicle to dealer for inspection. *ak this has happened on several occasions. This times chrysler said it was the speed sensor and this last time the consumer it was told the solenoid. The car stalled on several occasions while on the highway doing speed in excess of 60 MPH.
The consumer stated the vehicle stalled without warning. The consumer tried to restart the vehicle but was unsuccessful. The consumer had the vehicle towed to the dealer. The mechanic informed the driver that the engine needed to be replaced please provide additional details.
