Power liftgate begins failing in cool weather (approx 40 degrees f). Liftgate will fail to latch and will drain battery.
The chrysler pacifica 2004 is an extremely dangerous vehicle. The car stalled three times on me on the highway where I nearly got into an accident. Another time, the right axle came off and the car rolled down a hill and nearly hit a woman. I could have killed people many times with the pacifica since it is an extremely dangerous vehicle to drive. I found out that many people have these exact same issues. Please do something about it before it gets too late. Thank you.
Our 2004 chrysler pacifica has stalled multiple times and been taken to the dealership. They cannot reproduce the problem and therefore say they cannot do any repairs. The key turns and makes a sound and shuts off, sometimes after several attempts it will start and we have taken it directly to the dealership, they cannot get any computer readings.
I have a 2004 chrysler pacifica and I have been experiencing starting/stalling problems with it. The problems started within 9 months of my purchase date. Each time the dealership wasn't able to re-create. I had the battery replaced but I am still having the problem. It is now at the dealership after being towed because it wouldn't start and of course they can't duplicate the problem. I have logged a complaint on the carspace.com. I asked my service manager if he was aware of the starting/stalling problem with the pacifica and he told me no. Please help me.
On monday, 10/6/2003 my wife was driving her new 2004 pacifica while transporting our 4 year-old daughter to her pre-school class. As she was driving through the community development, she prepared to make a turn into a busy intersection when her car suddenly lost all power to the engine, steering and brakes. This intersection is frequented by fast moving tractor-trailers from the distribution center, as well as the brewery. Fortunately, none of these tractor-trailers were present when her car''s engine died and she came to a stop in the middle of the intersection. Had this occurred during a different moment, the outcome of the stall in the intersection would have been tragically different. My wife had the composure to successfully re-start the engine and proceed to a safe location where she called me on her cell phone.
1-my 2004 pacifica will not start at times. Sometimes 2 weeks can go by without incident, then the car will not start until I hold my foot on the gas. The dealer claims that unless it happens while at their shop, they cannot do anything. 2- the drivers side mirror will change position and make a sound like gears trying to engage but cannot. Again, the dealer could not find a problem although it happens each time I use it. 3- I complained about the transmission being sluggish from a parked position until it passes first gear. They told me they could not find a problem. They told me I could pick up the car. I asked them to drive it. They now found the problem and claim the motor mount was broken. They said it happened because of a fender bender I was in. The fender bender occurred two months after purchasing the car and I have been driving it two years since that event without a problem. 4- my headliner keeps sagging where the headliner meets the moonroof. They have fixed it now three times. They said the manual tells them to use sticky velcro tape. I keeps happening.

Car stalls for no apparent reason.
04 chrysler pacifica fails to start. Nothing happens or briefly start & die out. Starts after pumping the gas pedal. Dealers service dept can't duplicate starting problem therefore cannot fix.
2004 chrysler pacifica--repeated service issues including gas tank, gas cap/vapor lock, electrical.
Driving road speed, the 2004 pacifica with gauge reading "150 miles to empty" stalls and the gauge read "38 miles to empty". Cannot restart but upon adding 2.5 gal of gas, started again. Stalling occurred at least 5x within a week. Dealer installed solenoid 8059043 and body control module (bcm) but did not correct the problem.
2004 pacifica key would not turn in ignition. *ts the ignition cylinder had to be drilled out and replaced.
2004 chrysler pacifica: ignition switch failed to engage the starter on the first attempt to start. Second attempt would engage the starter. This scenario continued for one week. Eventually the ignition switch failed to engage the starter completely, which left me stranded. Ignition switch, and ignition switch housing had to be replaced due to a portion of the housing breaking off inside the switch. (defective part is available)
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.
Car does not start! When starting, a loud clicking noise happens, and engine will not start. Need a jump start often. Have brought it to dealer they cannot find anything wrong.
This car has had an on-going issue of stalling, lights turning off/going out, and automatic seat/mirror/radio position changes. 31 dec 05 at approximately 1515, after driving 4+/- miles, I turned into a driveway, backed into a turnaround, pulled forward and backed up to a garage. I put the car in park, set the parking brake, turned the key to off and removed the key. The engine was still running with the key out of the ignition. I placed the key back into the ignition, turned it to run, turned it to off. This time the engine quit, however, the dash remained lighted. I turned the key to start, but the starter would not engage. I turned the key to off and removed the key. All dash lights remained on. The car was towed to martin chevrolet, jeep, chrysler for repairs. This is the 8th trip for this issue. In all of the previous issues, since there was no code set in the computer, the dealer concluded there to be nothing wrong with the vehicle. In this instance, the dealer was able to "see" the defect, however, there still was no code in the computer.
On at least 3 occasions since purchasing a 2004 chrysler pacifica as a used vehicle in jan. 2005, my husband or I have inadvertently hit the ignition switch with our knee and turned off the engine while driving. One occasion while we driving on the highway at 65 MPH when my husband moved his foot from the accelerator after turning on cruise control. The other two incidents have been at low speeds in our neighborhood while moving foot from the accelerator to the brake pedal. Design defect that needs to be corrected.
Parked car for three days on five different occasions and the power supply was dead when I tried to start the car. The dealer said I must remove a module under the hood anytime that I leave the car for more then two days. This process is not acceptable and causes problems for anyone who travels and leaves their car in a lot while flying. They state that they are aware of the problem but have no fix for it.
2005 chrysler pacifica stalled when I was making a left hand turn. I put it in park and then started it back up. Dealership said that they would look at it on monday, which is 4 days away. I know that other people have had this same problem. I just hope that it can get fixed before someone gets hurt. I will let you know what the resolution is, although I know they are going to say that they couldn't duplicate the problem, and send me on my way.
Our 2004 chrysler pacifica sometimes will not start and when is does sometimes it dies when you are driving it down the road. The dealership and chrysler tells me unless the problem happens for the garage they can not fix it. Even if that means at some point in time it dies and we crash.
2004 chrysler pacifica developed problems with stalling, dead battery, rear window inoperative, faulty fuel gauge, dashboard lights flickering and security system inoperative.***no answer required***. *mr the seat belt was inoperative.
My 2004 chrysler pacifica has been in for service 6x and has currently been at the dealership for 3 weeks now. The most recent problem was electrical - the dash display that indicates speed, fuel gauge, etc. Went black while driving and all the interior lights illuminated. They have not determined the problem and chrysler wants me to pick up the vehicle although no repair was made. The car has been svc. For brakes, transmission, motor mount broken, fan assembly not completed during assembly, vehicle wouldn't start and battery was replaced. The vehicle is unsafe!
Transmission unit failure. Has been to the dealer 3 times that I can remember. Clicking popping noise in the transmission or axle. "fixed" 3 times 2) 3 electrical problems a) display for heating and AC went out. It was repaired b) display for message center went out. It was repaired c) the gas guage would "go empty" then "refill" all while driving. It was repaired 3) now I just found gear oil on my garage floor, the rear axle seals are leaking.I'll be calling the dealer tomorrow.
I purchased the car from carmax 08/03, with 500 miles on it. At the end of 09/04, with 2200 miles, I began to have problems with the fuel light. I took it in for service for the fuel light on 10/6, 10/11, 12/18, and 12/27/04. Each time service said it was due to a gas cap not being tightend, and or gas was being topped off. They didn't tell me they replaced a c34 fuel line clip on 12/18, and on 12/27 they replaced the egr system. I continued to have the same problems 1/11 and 1/17/05. On 1/17/05 they replaced a detector for general evap system failure/replace nvld pump. 1/25/05, service again for the headlamps not working, they found no problem. I was not told they did a recall on 10/06/04 on the auto transmission powertrain controle module. I found out, via the internet there was a recall on the headlamps, and they could go out anytime. I received another recall in the mail on the seat control module and drivers door handle, so I took the car in for both recalls 03/31/05. I got home that evening, and now I can't get into the car through the driver's side! This whole car is a lemon and should be recalled!
While idling, the car shut off and would not start again. Had the car towed to a dealer for repair. After 2 days of looking for the cause the dealer could not find any reason for the car to have shut off and not started again.
2004 pacific (6 months old) and 9,000 miles would not start until jumped. Had to be jumped twice in 1 week to start car when we were away on vacation. Appears to be lose connection between alternator and battery. Dealer couldn't find a problem but said when it happens again have it towed and they'll fix it then.
2004 chrysler pacifica - purchased river oaks chrysler houston:1) I have had on-going minor problems with this vechicle since I purchased it. These problems have required for me to take the car in to the river oaks chrysler service department on a regular basis during the past year (lemon?). 2) yesterday october 18, I experienced one of the worst problems with this car. I was leaving my neighborhood and was at a stop sign. I started to make a left turn when I heard a loud noise as if metal was breaking and cracking. The car started to shake violently. I had to grab onto the steering wheel very hard to control it. I had trouble steering it as the wheels did not seem to want to move. I was able to pull it to the side and get assistance (I feel fortunate that it did not happen on the hgway, as the consequences would probably not have been good). The car has 20,000 miles. I do not travel far as I am a stay home mom and most of my driving is doing errands and taking my kids to school. The car was towed to river oaks, chrysler in houston where the car is sitting in their service department. The latest I heard was that the axle broke. My concern is that this is a 1 year old car and it had a major failure such as this one. So many things have gone wrong with this vechicle that I find it unreliable and unsafe and I hate for something like this to happen to someone else. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

I have talked to the dealership about the gas mileage that my vehicle is getting. It is supposed to get 17 in town and 24 highway. I am only getting 12.8 in town and 13 on the highway. They tell me to wait until it gets to 5,000 miles and it will get better. Well, I'm at 4,660 and it is still bad!! Definitely not the mileage posted on the dealership papers in the window of my car when I purchased it 5 months age. They wouldn't even write it up for the tech's to look at while it was there for battery problems. I'm taking it in again.
On 7 separate occasions vehicle failed to start. When this occurred vehicle was towed to the dealership, who replaced the battery/transmission, and main computer. Also, did a software upgrade. The failure recurred.
