Filed Apr 19, 2019 · Electrical, Engine · 120,000 miles · FL

The car shuts off while driving. I turn the ignition off and it cranks back up. It does this almost every other day. No codes come on the warning lights do not come on the car just shuts off. I know this is an older car and I just bought it but this is a hazard can cause an accident and potentially kill someone. After looking online this seems to be a common problem with these cars even the new models and I can't understand stand why there hasn't been a recall to fix this issue.

My daughter gave me this car for my birthday in 2007 with a red bow on it. I was very surprise. After the first 6 months I began having problems. The problem I am having now is something that was repaired before. I had this issue about 3 years ago. While I am driving, the car just shut off, stalling in the middle of the traffic. The steering becomes very hard. Many times I was in fear of an accident many times. I am disappointed with this car.

I was driving approximately 30 MPH when my power steering stopped working and I noticed my engine had also stopped. I struggled to steer to the side of the road. I turned the key off (the engine was already off). I waited a minute and started the vehicle without a problem. I drove directly to my mechanic where he could not find a problem. This has happened 2 more times (for a total of 3 times). All when I was driving between 30 - 40 MPH. The first indication of a problem is when I loose power steering and notice the engine has cut-out.

I was slowing down to yield at a rotary and my car suddenly shut down causing the brakes and steering to not work almost causing a major accident. The same thing occurred several minutes later.

Car kept shutting down regardless of speed. Chrysler sent specialist to deflect ship and replaced fuel pumps. Vehicle continued to shut down while driving. Attempted to drive to an independent mechanic, but crashed on the way. Car shut down on a curve, steering failed, brakes locked he hit a tree. This accident could've been a fatality. Car was totaled! Chrysler is not assuming any responsibility and closed the case. I will never buy another one!!!!

Car will turn off unexpectedly with no error code/check engine light while driving down the road! It does not happen on a normal basis but it has happened about 10 times since I purchased this vehicle in march 2014.

About a week prior the veh was driving very sluggish and would not resume normal until reaching 50mph, then the next week while driving at about 35mph the veh began shaking very bad forcing me to drop speed to about 15mph. Took it to a mechanic and was told I needed a rear drive shaft and engine mounts and from what I hear this is a common problem with these vehs. Drive shaft is well over $1000.00 not to mention labor, something needs to be done.

The vehicle shuts off while driving. This has occurred six times since february 1, 2014 (a period of about seven weeks). Each time I have been lucky enough to guide the vehicle off to the side of the road, in spite of the loss of steering and braking. The vehicle restarted with no major problem each time. Also, the engine spontaneously revved as the vehicle lost forward momentum on one occasion (on a date preceding the fifth shutoff event), but regained normal operation within seconds. On that occasion I took the vehicle immediately to the dealer for analysis; they updated a computer module. The shutoff has occurred twice since the dealer fixed the computer component. All events occurred within two to five minutes of driving the car after it had been sitting for several hours (cold start?). My research shows that this is a frequently reported problem with the 2007 pacifica, and that the vehicle was recalled for the problem in model years 2004 - 2006. I provided a printout of my research to the dealer, and they have had the vehicle for five business days without being able to reproduce the problem. I reported the problem by phone to chrysler, but their complaint line does not offer solutions (and apparently does not provide feedback).
