? Battery leaking? I have red fluid dripping from under my front right side of the car (looking at it), under where the battery / battery caseing is. It was noticed, as we pulled out of the garage and found the red spots under the front where the car was parked. We popped the hood, the same looking red fluid is all over the battery, and looks to be arouund the casing of the battery as well. Not 100% sure, but is has ruined our holiday, as the car now sits until we can get this back to the dealership, yet again (5th time ) in 5 weeks to be repaired. I took photos of this to keep as a visual document as well, as we have had our car in the shop every week, at least 1 - 3 days since we got the car on 5/23/05.
2005 Chrysler Pacifica engine complaints
Page 16 of 16: complaints 431 to 434 of 434, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Vehicle had been in to chrysler dealer several times during may for the check engine light (emition controll issues) on the day of this incident I had just picked it up from the dealership. It had been repaired due to it leaking oil. The oil leak was due to the technician accidentally tightening the valve cover down on a wire during its last time in for repairs. I had driven about ten miles from the dealership when I pulled into a gas station to get a drink. When I exited the gas station maybe three minutes later I saw my car had flames coming out from under the hood. I was able to put it out using the gas stations portable fire extinguisher but there had been damage done as several parts under the hood had melted. No one was injured thankfully but if I had not stopped for a drink I would have never been able to put the fire out. Milage was 5646 the vehicle was not running while parked at the gas station. I was advised that the fire was due to a blower fan module short circiuting.
Dt consumer stated while driving, the vehicle will completely quit running. The local service dealership stated they had tried everything to fix the problem, but they can't find anything wrong with the vehicle. If the vehicle is placed into park it will restart.
1. 2005 chrysler pacifica rented by enterprise rental (odometer - 1,000 miles) 2. Drove the rental off location - 1 mile away smoke came from under the hood.*ak 3. Thermostat went up and chime activated. 4.was at our home office where our asc master certified mechanic looked under the hood. 5. The pressure hose coming from the radiator to the recyler bottle was not in tact. Not clamped. Secured with a metal clamp and fused the system to regain fluid. Went back to enterprise and noted that this could have caused engine failure bad the normal prudent person were to operate this vehicle. After furhter review they had another neew pacifica on thier lot. They- the manufacturer are using plastic clips on a hose that is under extreme heat and pressure. This should be watched as a tsb or if other occurance have already occurred.
