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....

I am having a problem with the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge will read full and when the fuel gauge gets to half a tank the gauge drops to empty. Also while filling the tank the nozzle from the gas pumps will always cut off, it will pump a few dollars and then stop and you have to pump the fuel in very slow. I have changed the fuel pump in the tank three times and the gas tank twice. Nothing works this has been a problem now for about two years. I have been stranded on the road due to the fuel gauge dropping to empty and it is very scary.

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.

My 2006 chrysler pacifica seems to have some very common and related issues to an existing recall. My vehicle experiences all kind of issues related to a faulty fuel pump/tank design and possibly software issues also. My vehicle can be very hard to start. My vehicle can shut off without warning. (no other known issues) my vehicle tends to think the gas cap is bad. Displaying gascap in the odometer area. We experience power loss, stalls, poor fuel economy, fuel capor smell on occasion that could ignite, if for any reason the fuel system is slightly overfilled by even ten cents worth of fuel it can poor fuel onto the ground. This happens on top of the tank. Not at the filler hose. Check engin light code points to evaporative system. My vehicle was manufactured in august 2005. I believe the fuel pump module is bad as well as possibly software. If you do your own research you will find this car is know to have evap system and fuel system issues. Lots of them. One that comes to mind is a connector on the pump or model cracking and allowing fuel /air to escape. I am terrified my car might blow up with my children in it. I can't give exact dates because this happens all of the time. Evap codes return, fuel smells, poor engine performance power loss, if it does shut off while driving it becomes hard to steer. Etc etc

Driving home from work a good samaritan pulled me over and advised me the gas was pouring out of my car, called fire department and they plugged leak and I had it towed to dealership. They advised me there was questionable damage to the tank and it didn't look like anything was run over or hit but corner of gas tank was severely damaged, lost 3/4 tank of gas on road. The dealership looked over my vehicle, I called insurance company to report incident. They determined that the gas tank would need to be replaced as well as the fuel neck filler valve and both fuel pumps. I had all the suggested work done and two weeks after having my car back I would notice the tank go from 1/2 tank to empty quickly, no leaking gas so I would try to put in gas and only able to put in 2-3 gallons at a time, it then shoots from empty to half tank back down, back up and down. I took it to the dealership again and they determined instead of the used gas tank a brand new one was necessary. Got my car back on 12/30 immediately went to put gas in since they had to drain tank and once again the same problem happened. I cannot put more than 2-3 gallons in gauge fluctuates between 1/2 tank to empty, ran out of gas on highway car stalled in left lane luckily I was able to get over get it towed where they told me it had gas in it, they put in 2 gallons at the dealership and it started right up. This is a safety concern and am scared to drive around three kids in car if it is going to stall. There seems to be a problem with fuel system. Contacted chrysler and they assigned me a case manager and case number and promised to work with dealership to get car fixed. I have already been without my car 4 times and a total of 5 week since I bought car on 9/07/16. I would love a solution as I love the car.

Reccall f44 (fuel pump module). This recall was for repair/replace of module due to fact that pacifica cars stall with faulty unit. My car has stalled numerous times. I took to dealer as instructed by recall letter. The dealer said they made repair. My vehicle continues to stall. Dealer would not replace part again. I am stuck with a vehicle I cannot drive because it is unsafe to drive.
