Problems with vehicle's engine stalling.*mr the vehicle was taken to the dealer twice. Both times the vehicle put on the diagnostic machine but no codes were found. The consumer ultimately trade the vehicle in for another vehicle and suffered a huge financial loss. The consumer later read an article which indicated that the pacifica was being recall for a stall problem. The fix was to reprogram the PCM. The consumer feels that financial reimbursement should be offered to offset the loss he took on the trade in.
2004 Chrysler Pacifica engine complaints
Page 10 of 10: complaints 251 to 258 of 258, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Car has died while driving on three occasions. The first two were while driving 45 miles per hour and car stalled, all systems died. The third occasion the car stalled while driving 70 MPH on highway while attempting to pass a car. The vehicle is 6 months old and has under 8,000 miles. Dealer has said problem was "fixed" after downloading some new software but problem has continued. This could result in a terrible crash!
Fluid leak from engine compartment, popping/grinding noise from front end at low speeds. Dealer unable to locate leak or isolate grinding noise after 3 service attempts.
While driving at any speed and when turning corners vehicle stalled. Vehicle was taken to the dealer five times. Each time dealer examined the vehicle, but could not resolve the problem.
Intermittently while turning corners vehicle stalled. Vehicle had been to dealer six times, but problem recurred.
While drive the vehicle appears to shut off. I have no other way to describe what happens. It is literally as though the key were turned off (I.e. The engine stops, loss of power steer, loss of power assist breaking, loss of ABS, no instrument panel lights to even indicate there was problem). The only systems that remain active are the ones that would normally be on when the key were in the accessory position. The vehicle will immediately restart after being shifted to neutral. This has occurred numerous times with no consistency. (I.e. 70 MPH on an interstate, 15 MPH in a parking lot, 45 on a secondary road, 5 MPH backing out of the driveway).
The vehicle has stalled 2 (two) times while exiting the highway on to a secondary road. Both instances have occured at approximately the same time and location. One occurred on 12/10/03 other on 12/19.
While driving at 70 MPH engine check light came on, then the vehicle started to jerk and stall. Driver pulled off the road. Consumer has contacted the dealership on two separate occasions, but the problem still occurs.
