Remote fob is integrated in key has a small hole for the key loop spring. When driving on a long trip, I adjusted positions on legs and bumped the keys that hang down. Due to small hole, the hanging keys don't fall out of way, but rather create a rigid link that creates the key to turn from "on" to "off" and locks steering wheel. Fortunately, when it happened, I noticed it right away and was on a straight road (but going 65 MPH with a locked steering wheel).
2004 Chrysler Pacifica electrical complaints
Page 5 of 5: complaints 101 to 109 of 109, newest first, as owners wrote them.
While driving 60 MPH electrical system failed. As a result, vehicle stalled, and consumer had to veer of the road. A recall was issued for the electrical system and was repaired, however the problem recurred.
My pacifica has had power memory seats repaired 5 times. My air compressor repaired x2. A "dampener" placed to try and minimize the noise from the A/C. The dash electronic module replaced x1. The wheel plastic covering just came off while driving. My tire pressure sensors have had to be reset x2. The exhaust made a rattling noise that had to be repaired. The right front bumper had to be tighten as excessive wind noise was heard by service dealer. It still makes an audible clicking, knocking type noise on acceleration that they claim to be unable to duplicate. It has a loud pop on sharp right turns. And the A/C still cycle abrubtly and loudly approx every 30-45 seconds. I have had the car since aug 2003 and chrysler refuses to accept responsiblity and allow me another vehicle without obtaining a lawyer. I clearly exceeds the minimum criteria for the lemon law. This vehicle has been a huge inconvenience to my family and I. Chrysler states there is nothing to be repaired on my vehicle and will not help me in any way. I love the vehicle when it is problem free wich is rare and I just want them to step up to the plate and stop giving me the run around. It has been repaired way to many times already.
Fuse for dashlights,guages,GPS system,A/C systms. And radio burns out while driving and when it happens at nite, it causes quite a frite, dealer has had it now three times in two months . This last time for 7 days and still has'nt a clue. I myself have replaced the burned fuses at least 10 times.
