On wednesday night (13 july 16), se michigan had severe thunderstorms and street flooding. I drove through this for at least 6 miles. The next morning as I was leaving for work, I got into the car, buckled my seat belt and put the car into reverse. There was a loud "crunching" noise but no movement. I put the car in park, got out to see if there was anything behind the car to make that noise but there wasn't. I got back in the car, buckled up, put the car's gear into reverse again. No movement, but an incredibly loud screechy, whiny noise could be heard 4 townhouses away. I barely tapped the accelerator and the car shot backwards out of the space, across the lot, up over a curb, through a flower bed, taking out a large, wooden sign and stopping only when the vehicle crashed into a tree. No air bags deployed at all. Police and emts were called to the scene. I was transferred by ambulance to a local hospital. I am not familiar with the vehicle's systems, but I would think this was a throttle issue. For the few seconds the car was moving in reverse, I was stomping on the brake pedal. The brakes were "stiff" and the pedal would only go half way to the floorboards. Witnesses stated the car shot out of the parking space "like a bullet" and/or "like a rocket" and that there was no way to stop the car at that speed.

2004 chrysler pacifica, original owner, 60306 miles. Car was being serviced and the subframe has almost completely rusted out, making the car undriveable. Contacted local dealer and was given chrysler cust service number. Car built in sept 2003, said dos not qualify for chrysler (apparently secret) extended warranty. Filed a complaint with chrysler, but they will not provide any reply to their "review" . We were fortunate that we were not seriously injured, or killed as a result of this quality issue..... And subsequent refusal to correct by chrysler. Anyway to investigate this consumer safety issue?

While leaving a on ramp to us route 15 s. I accelerated to wot(wide open throttle) in order to merge into traffic. Once I reached 60 MPH I pushed the set button on the cruise control as I left off of the accelerator pedal. The vehicle continued to accelerate instead of holding the 60 MPH speed. I slowed down by pushing on the brake pedal, but once I left off of the brake pedal the vehicle continued to accelerate. I tried the cancel button for the cruise control and also the on/off button, but nothing worked. My wife reached over and pulled the floor mat back to make sure it was not the mat and it continued. I placed the shifter in neutral and the RPM's were at 3500. I turned the ignition switch off and I coasted. I then restarted the vehicle and the rpms immediately went to 3500 and then dropped to 750. I am an ase certified master technician and this is the first time I have experienced this in a vehicle. I am glad I was driving and not my wife. Once I reached my destination I disconnected the cruise control cable at the throttle body. Since this vehicle is a cable operated throttle body my only conclusion is that either the throttle plate stuck, which it is currently moving smooth, or the cruise control is having issues. I am planning on taking it to work in the morning and trying to diagnose it. I have been repairing cars professionally since 1992. Starting in a ford dealership for 8 years, then being self employed with my own auto repair business until my current position in an independent repair facility (AC delco tss shop) for the past 11 years.

I purchased my 2004 chrysler pacifica in october of 2013. I was having some issues with my car making a clunking noise with acceleration and I took it up to the car shop. (may of 2014) I was told the motor mounts are rusted out and the engine cradle is rusted almost through. I was told there was a recall for the 2004 pacificas. I called chrysler and was told my car is out of the range for the recall by 6 months. I was not aware of this recall or would have taken care of it when I found out about it. The cost to repair is about 3,000.00 and the car is not safe to drive. I have found this is a major problem with many other pacifica owners and would like something done about this. I do not feel I should have to pay for this repair when it has been know by chrysler that this is a very unsafe defect in their product.
