Year2006 make/modelchrysler pacifica mileageabout 99,000 driving for 13+ years; had been getting check engine and ABS signs on dashboard now and then for about 6 years; in humid days recurrences were more than in colds. Va inspection, both emission and safety, passed every year, last one being in july 2019, without any issue. Since late july ABS sign ceased to appear any more, and check engine light is appearing steadily. In diagnostics p0700, p0732 and p0720 codes were returned. Now a days, when I come to a stop/red light, on full brake, engine makes a jerk, and speedometer reading jumps from 0 to 20 MPH. Also, break pedal experiences a push-back, causing tendency to drive forward. Over 30 MPH gas pedal demands more compression, and engine motion roaring also surges, no rattling. What kind of risk I am carrying in driving the vehicle, what are my options, cost for remedy and is it worth to invest in fixing the problem(s)?

Takata recall in the cars milage indicator I received a message reading gas cap along with a check engine light then I noticed my fuel range and gauge would read 200 miles to empty at 1/2 a tank of fuel to 23 miles to empty with the gauge being in the red, when I was driving to town... We just had both fuel pumps replaced because the upper fuel pump wouldn't pump the fuel over to the lower fuel tank this car only has 100,000 miles on it and we've already dropped $900.00 to have this problem fixed only to have another problem occur... When I decided to research, I found that this seems to be a common problem with this make, model, and year...can someone please look into this....

Car engine sometimes shuts off when doing left hand turns, the engine looses complete power when this happens. I have to shift the car into park to turn it back on. There are evap codes on but the check engine does not turn on for these codes, smell of un-burnt fuel sometimes makes it in the cabin. Thankfully the stall has not happened with cars coming towards me. The gas cap warning on continuously even though I have purchased many new oem gas caps. This may be related to: the federal safety agency campaign number: 04v113000, 06v432000, the federal safety agency action number: ea06013, I informed chrysler but they said my VIN is not in the current recalls and was referred to contact the federal safety agency. My pacifica has also developed a ticking noise that has reduced the gas mileage and engine power which I believe this to be part of an internal recall which again chrysler says my vehicle is not part of even though my VIN matches the specifications below: customer satisfaction notification f35 engine connecting rod bearing debris effective immediately, all repairs on involved vehicles are to be performed according to this notification.

On my 2006 chrysler pacifica the check engine light and the gas cap light are constantly coming on. I had the vehicle checked and was told everything was ok and the check engine light was reset and a new gas cap put on. About two days later the same thing happened and again the check engine light came on as did the check gas cap light. The check engine light was reset and I was told nothing is wrong. Now when I park the vehicle I can smell gasoline vapors. Again I had the vehicle checked and was told everything was ok. I purchased the vehicle in 2008, had approx. 45,000 miles on the car. As of this date, 03/28/2015 I have approx 75,000 miles on the car. What could the problem be.
