2004 Chrysler Pacifica brakes complaints
Page 2 of 2: complaints 11 to 18 of 18, newest first, as owners wrote them.
2004 chrysler pacifica - at 31185 miles the vehicle had a cracked rotor. The rear passenger side rotor is close to disintegrating, though the vehicle was maintained per factory schedule every 3000 miles at a 5 star chrysler dealership. This could have easily resulted in a total brake failure, risking the life of my family. Chrysler does not provide any goodwill coverage for what is clearly a supplier issue. The rotor is cracked in several areas but it is far from being worn.
Dt*: the contact stated having problems with the brakes. While driving 15 MPH the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was towed to the dealership who replaced the front brakes. The brake sensors did not work properly when the incident occurred. Updated 9/11/2006 - the caliper bolts (self locking) fell out. The dealership indicated that this should never happen.
Brakes grinding and slight vibration, as if the disks are warped. The car has 21,000 miles and the front disks and pads were replaced shortly after I got the car. My mechanic said the pads are good, but the disks are defective; metal peeling off and 40% wear on them. Chrysler says this is normal wear and tear.
I have a 2004 chrysler pacifica awd, currently has 50,000 miles. We have had problems since we drove it off the lot. Time after time we were told there were no codes signifying any problems, and they could never duplicate the noises we were experiencing. Climate control screen went out, this was replaced. Message display went out, unable to see safety warnings, compass, menu display stalling when turning at slow speeds popping and clunking noises when turning slowly load clanging noise when shifting from park to reverse, sounds like we ran over a large metal object. Leaks on driver side when raining warped rotors at 35,000 miles fuel gauge needle will plunge from f to e when there is a least half tank of gas. I have taken the car in on numerous occasions, they can never duplicate the problem noises to diagnose or fix.
Brakes on chrysler are defective. This is known by chrysler at they warrant the car for 36k butthe brakes (rotors, pads, linings and drums) are only covered for 12k. It is obvcious chrysler knows they are no good thus the short warranty. If there were any good they should last for 50k or more. Vehicle only has 26k.
Dt: I was driving on freeway and slowed for other traffic when brake pressure applied and it then began shaking and stopped. Upon stopping it revved then geared down. Took to dealer, and they made some adjustments to the transmission, but said nothing was wrong. This happened again. Returned to dealer, who thought this was a computer problem, when tried to repair it they fried the computer system in car. The car still has this problem. Contact feels this car is not drivable due to this situation. Also, has a clanking sound. Has to been to dealer for this, and said it was brakes, and adjusted those brakes. Yet this car still has problems.
While the vehicle was parked on a level surface it began to roll backwards without warning. No collision reported. *ak
