Purchased the car aug, 2014. Previous owner also had same issues. Has been in shop several times, unable to pinpoint cause/remedy situation. Seat controls do not work, remote keyfobs do not work, interior lights, head lamps, no electrical function present unless key is in ignition, in the "on" position. When shutting off the car, all lights on the dashboard light up and the only way to shut them off is to push on and then off the hazard lights. This will cause all electrical to go out, including the head lamps and all interior lights. If you do not turn them off by using the hazard lights, it will kill the battery. We have replaced the fuses in for the seats several times. They work for a bit and then blow out again. The mechanics have gone as far as to replace the wiring assembly and still no remedy. I don't know how there is not a recall on this vehicle.

Tl* the contact owns a 2005 chrysler pacifica. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle ran out of fuel although the fuel gauge indicated 1/2 tank of fuel was present. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic, who diagnosed that the fuel sending unit was faulty. The contact indicated that the failure caused the check engine light to illuminate and the driver side headlight to stop working. The light bulb was replaced, but the failure continued to occur. The failures were not repaired. The manufacturer was not notified. The failure mileage was 84,000.
The headlights intermittently would not work and then stopped working completely. I believe this is due to the wiring harness issue that was recall on many other 05 pacificas under 05v066000. My VIN does not pull up that it was affected in this recall, but I have this and another issue that I submitted a complaint for that should be covered under the recall. The chrysler company said even though it appears to be the same issue in the recall, since my VIN does not show to be apart of that recall, they will not do anything to help fix the costly issue. I do not know where else to go for help. I submitted a complaint through chrysler and they said they would not help unless there was a recall expansion that eventually included my VIN, but not to count on it. I told chrysler that just because this VIN was missed in the investigation that it was the right thing to do for them to fix it.. I was told they could not and would not help. Thank you..
