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.

I can't completely fill my fuel tank. At 1/2 tank it bottoms out to empty. The fuel gauge is completely unreliable.when making a left hand turn when the fuel is low it will stall and sputter. I was lucky enough that the dealer I bought it from changed the fuel pump right after I bought it because I ran out of fuel on a trip to ohio from illinois but it didn't fix the issue. I only drive it in town because I'm afraid of running out of fuel. Apparently this is very common with this vehicle and I feel there should be a recall. This issue could cause an accident, someone to be stranded in extreme cold/heat. It's unreliable and a major threat to someone's safety. Chrysler should be ashamed.

The car stalls while in motion on an incline, making a left or right turns up an incline, and making u-turns on flat surface. The engine would just die, then I would have to put it in park and it would restart. This happened in city streets in speeds under 25mph. This has happened over a dozen times, 3 times this month. Mechanic cannot fix the problem.
Car is stalling while driving and fuel pump and system have had to be replaced twice! Head lights and turning signals are have to be replaced often as well!
