I was at stopped at signal light in traffic at rush hour. When light turned green to go, I stepped on gas pedal and vehicle started to snorkel and stall. It started jerking and continued to stall then it took off for a bit and started to stall again, then continued to go. Cars were honking and I almost got rear ended and hit on the side!. Another few times before that it would rev up on its own while stopped at signal light lunging forward. Few times almost hit vehicle in front of me due to this issue! Recall most definitely needs to be enforced>>>>
My car seats move while I am driving automatically. With my seat belt on sometimes I cant touch the pedals. Also, my car is stalling and it eats oil nonstop. I have had it checked and nothing is shown as wrong. I see there was a recall for this model and it was done so why is this still happening. Seat issue is very dangerous, I have to drive and hold the button forward on the door to stop it from moving.
Check engine light came, determined it was a computer code said it was a minor vacuum leak, smoke check determined that leak is coming from top of gas tank. Mechanic told me it was common on the pacifica that hose attached to top of fuel pump causes intake line to break and only fix ix to replace fuel pump even though fuel pump itself is fine an approx repair cost of $800, parts and labor. My online research reveals that this has been an on going problem with pacifica's. Now my gas cap light is on and a second vacuum leak is showing. Chrysler needs to repair. I see on complaints I am not first to complain of this issue!
I was having problems with my "check engine" light kept coming on. I took it up to my mechanic several times & he couldn't find anything wrong. He finally performed a smoke test. Was unable to find any leaks. His computer said I had a small leak detected. He said my fuel pump module was the problem & it would probably cost around $1,000 to fix since he had to drop the gas tank. Couldn't get anywhere with chrysler. I've been driving now a year & a half plus now my gascap light is also on. I do have my mechanic check whenever I go get my oil change & he resets the check engine light, but it does come back on within a day. I've been on several websites & this is a chrysler problem that they need to fix. I don't want to end up where I stall out like what I've been reading.
My car failed on us as we were on our trip towards brownsville texas. The electrical in my car started flickering and the motor kept accelerating itself.. Then the gas indicator went from showing half tank full to 10 miles to empty.. We were in the deserted part of the checkpoint ranch so we had about 30 miles until a gas station we thought we couldn't possibly just run out of gas, but as we continued 5 minutes later our car electrical just sounded a spark and our car starting shutting off, hard steering to pull on side of road.. But thank god we had no vehicles behind us so that prevented an accident from happening.. We called family member to go help us haul our car to a nearest gas station or mechanic.. Something I never want to experience with my children 3 and 1 in my car and the hot summer.. I have searched for my car if it falls in the recall category but it shows nothing.. Yet it showed to have similar defects as the ones being recalled.
Motor mounts replaced, tie rods replaced, control arms replaced all done in the last month !! Why doesn't chrysler have a recall out on this issues since it's known for it! Oh did I mention the gas pedal gets stuck all the time! Other thing is my check engine light keeps coming on and off...it's been diagnosed as the fuel pump....really at this point I'm tired of putting money into the car.
I filled up the tank with gas and was on a long road trip. I had reset the trip at the time of fill up and I had tracked the highway mileage using a little less than 1/2 tank then refilled it then took how many miles I had gone divided it by how many gallons of gas it took to fill it back up. I was getting 21 miles per gallon. When the gas gauge reached 1/2 tank, it dropped straight to empty. I had only gone roughly 200 miles and figured at 21 miles per gallon I should easily get 350 to 400 miles before needing gas so I carried on. After I had traveled 220 miles on a full tank, (20 gallons) the motor just shut itself off. I pulled over and called for help. They brought 2 gallons of gas and put it in and it fired right up. I drove 2 miles back to the gas station and filled it back up and it only took 8 gallons to fill it back up. 10 if you include the 2 we had just put in on the side of the road. That is 1/2 a tank of gas. When I got home I looked up recalls and there is a recall f44 on my vehicle that describes this problem but when I called chrysler, they said my vehicle was not manufactured within the dates of the recall. If my vehicle is having the issue shouldn't they cover it?
We have a 2006 chrysler pacifica that we purchased used in 2008. The car stalls when turning like the 2004-2005 models that had a recall f44. We contacted chrysler customer care at 800 992 1997and found out that the previous owner had taken the car in for repair during the initial recall. Chrysler customer care told us to take the car back to chrysler because it is covered under the safety recall warranty for 10 years. When we took the car in we learned that the engine cradle is corroding another recall x26. The dealer told us it would cost a couple of thousand dollars to repair. Additionally, we were told that we need two new fuel pumps and that this is not covered by the f44 recall because our 2006 car is outside of the 2004 - 2005 model year recall to replace the fuel pumps. We paid the dealer the cost of the service charge $103 for the information and were told we might consider buying a new car. I am surprised/frustrated and angry that chrysler is not taking any accountability for both very dangerous safety issues and in essence made $103 profit off of their negligence to create a safe car.

I had the brakes repaired in 2012; the next month the ABS light came on and the sensor was replaced. Ten months later, the sensor light came on again. I was told it was insignificant, that the brakes are fine. In the fall of 2013, I had the car towed to a shop because it tried to accelerate while I was pressing the brakes. I spent over $800.00 having a bunch of codes cleared with the transmission and other things. The engine light was off for a few days but came back on. There was an error that read gas cap. I replaced the gas cap but the engine light remains on. In march 2014 the brake light came on, I was told that I needed to replace the calibers but later was told that I didn't. I had someone else to check and they said that I needed new front brakes. I had those replaced. On 4/7/2014, I was leaving the parking garage at the doctor's office and the gas pedal was stuck. Lucky for me it was on a downhill slope and I was able to stop at the stop sign and put the car in park and press the accelerator to unstick it. Today, april 13, 2014 the brake light is back on and there is a noise in the frontend. I love my car but it just does not feel safe to drive.
Vehicle was bought 1 year ago from used car dealership, no carfax available, had 120,000 miles,ran great for 4 months. Started having stalling problems, check light coming off/on, had diagnosed as possible fuel pump gage reading wrong, catalytic converter possible. Had check light reset, continued to have major stalling of engine at any speed. Replaced both primary and secondary fuel pump, catalytic converter, 02 sensor (rear). Total repairs $2,718.74, still has same problem. Problem when vehicle stalls, loss of power unexpectedly, loss of control due to shutdown causes concern, accident waiting to happen, expenses beyond expectations for general maintenance of vehicle. No help from chrysler dealership. Says mileage too high, no warranty for defect, beyond dealership scope of concern for customer.

Gas pedal sticks when accelerating from stop position. Gas tank gauge drops from 90 gals to 30 in a matter of seconds. Body paint is bubbling. Any recalls or warranties on these issues?
Gas gauge drops to empty when it reaches 1/2 tank. Have to "trickle" gas in during refill and will only hold 7-8 gallons. After gauge drops to empty vehicle runs out of gas even though it shows over 200 miles to empty at time the gauge drops.

I called chrysler, concerning the f44 recall. Would you believe my car missed the recall period by four days. The recall covered autos built until late nov 2006 my car was built dec 2006. But the notice did not go out until late part nov 2006. A decent company would have ended the recall as dec 2006. I guarantee some part of the dec 2006 auto was already in assembly, before the nov 2006 recall date, this is so wrong. On that same recall bulletin my VIN was included , but as I continue to read the recall bulletin , it stated that all vehicles are not covered within this VIN series. Chrysler corp is a billion dollar company, I am just one small consumer, and I need your help with this repair.
Throttle has been sticking for seven years. The dealer has sprayed the throttle body several times over the years to fix the problem. The dealer fix is only temporary.

Engine light came on, then the gascap light came on. Was time for inspection and naturally it failed. Immediately took it to repair shop, they checked it over and just replaced the gascap. All lights were off so took it back for inspection. It passed amazingly. Later that day, the gascap light came back on. Drove a number of months with light on knowing it was a new gascap and it needed a smoke test to find the leak. Had alternator replaced and also a new right side fuel pump with the fuel hose from vent on primary to fuel pump vent nipple on other side. They were amazed that I hadn't smelled fuel leaking. Also amazed there was no fire. This is a serious fault and needs to be addressed by chrysler after reading all the other same problems. Please chrysler, do the right thing!!
