2007 Chrysler Pacifica AWD: engine stalls while driving

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.

When slowing down or mid driving the car stalls and turns off. Turns back on but still shakes to turn off. At red light car will stall and must be kept in neutral so it wont shut off. Then when put into drive car is about to stall again and then jumps when gas is pressed to move. This has been happening for the past 3 months on and off.

I have a chrysler pacifica that as I've driven it has completely shut off while driving down the highway or road. It completely shut off as I was going through an intersection. I've had it in and out of the repair shop for the last 5 months and I've been given different answers as to what's wrong. None of them have solved the problem. Finally, today I found a mechanic that said it was the tipm! Unfortunately from what I've read this is a huge problem in chryslers. I'm terrified to drive my car for fear that I'm going to be hurt while driving it. I was almost hit when my car shut off in the middle of an intersection and had kids in my vehicle. This isn't right and it's downright dangerous putting the consumer at such a risk.

While driving on the highway at speeds over 40 MPH, the car stalls and restarts; it is an extremely frightening experience. It happens when accelerating. It has happened approximately 10 times. We have attempted to fix this 3 times with our mechanic. As no codes are triggered, it is a guess as to what to address. Based on my research, this is not an isolated incident with this car. I advise anyone not to buy this car and I hope that chrysler recalls this model to save a life. We have been very lucky.

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 purchased my car three months ago and started having trouble with it one month after purchase. My car stalls and loses power randomly. Has been in the shop for two months and the problem still isn't fixed.

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!!!!

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).

Just bought this vehicle from dodge dealership. One four different occasions a couple at low speed 40 the vehicle stalls or turns off. You lose power steering (hard to control) and braking(hard to press pedal). No engine lights or warning lights to show failure anywhere. Vehicle starts right back up and may not do it again for weeks. From what I have been reading there is no sure findings to the cause and maybe a tsb out there by now shows the problem. I am worried about the quality or safety of my family should the wife be driving the vehicle at a rate of speed and it cut out on her and she panic or be in rush traffic. It not only endangers her but any vehicle around her. Before I take it to the dealership and pay lots of money I don't have I need to know what my options are and why it appears this has been an issue and not resolved. If you put in google 2007 pacifica awd stalling while driving you get more than enough responses and it LED me to here even. I would whole heartedly appreciate any and all information and actions I can do to get this fixed and resolved for my family.

Engine stalls / shuts off at low speed - this has occurred 18 times since and seems to be getting progressively worse. Now it is occurring at higher speeds (50mph) when turning around bends. Loss of power steering contributes to the problem. The interior power remains on while a oil display light flashes. Once stopped the vehicle will restart and no further problem is detected. These types of stalling problems occur intermittently. The same sort of scenario happens every time the engine shuts off (stalls).
