The vehicle does when in reverse and you step on the accelerator. Gas gauge reads empty even with fuel in it and fluctuates between empty and full. Vehicle stalls when going around a corner or coming to a stop.. Foul smell coming from the exhaust into the cab. All dash gauges go off. Check engine light is on. Received two different codes 1) o2 sensor bad & 2) p1861.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chrysler pacifica. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle decelerated independently and stalled without warning. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic on four occasions however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or retrieve a fault code. Additionally, while driving at 40 MPH, the vehicle decelerated without warning. The vehicle was towed to brookfield chrysler dodge jeep ram (1845 pipestone rd, benton harbor, mi 49022), to be diagnosed. The contact was informed that the oxygen sensor failed and needed to be replaced. The oxygen sensor was replaced seven times however, the failure persisted. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 149,000.
Engine stalls for no reason indicated by engine codes. Vehicle was coming to a stop. Was backing up once. Just idling and stalled. Sometimes when driving it feels as if nothing is happening when I attempt to accelerate. Has done this before the date submitted. Different dates.
Gas gauge needle drops to empty when it gets to the half tank mark. I have had the car stall as if out of fuel when it still has half a tank of gas. I am constantly having to add fuel to the tank and it is slow going, because the nozzle constantly shuts off from fuel bubbling out. If the car is parked on a sideways slope, the fuel needle will go back up to the accurate amount, but once on flat land goes back to empty. I can't remember the last time I was able to drive from full tank to low fuel light without refueling. Specs may show 14 gal. Tank, but in truth, only 7 or so gal. Is all that it operates on.
Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chrysler pacifica. While driving approximately 55 MPH in the rain, the instrument panel lighting and the ABS indicator began to flash.

The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. The failure mileage was 150,000.
Engine stalling during operation. Took to pierce auto center in sagle idaho problem was not rectified.
Engines stalls intermittently while driving then shutters and continues to run. Happens 3 to 4 times during say a 25 mile drive . I feel it is very unsafe . Also stalls at idle at stop sign but restarts immediately and runs as if nothing happened . I got online to see if others had similar problem and seen other similar problems where they said it was software related and had to go to dealership to be reprogrammed.
