Filed Feb 19, 2021 · Acceleration, Electrical · 71,515 miles · TX

After putting in gas in the car it will die as if it is not getting gas and when filling up I have to pump slow because it acts like it is not taking the gas. Its died on several occasions while driving without any warning. In traffic goinf through a light it shut off as if it had no gas. The car then will not turn on the key turns over but sputters. Once I pump on the gas after 3 or more attempts it come on. We have replaced the fuel pump and autozone code gave p0461 fuel level sensor a as the problem. This is dangerous as the car just shutting off while driving and unable to start in traffic or just shutting down on the highway. The oil light comes on as well. Theres a noise like a ticking sound I can hear by the gas tank when I shut off the car. As soon as I left the gas station today I had it in drive about to turn on the street with traffic coming and it shut off and wouls not turn on for about 10 minutes. I was lucky I did not get hit.

I purchased my 2007 pacifica in 2009 with about 30,000 miles from chrysler, elk grove, california. Upon reaching about 57,000 miles, when accelerating, I would hear loud metal banging from the engine area. I would also feel a hard jolt when accelerating. After visiting chrysler, elk grove service center, I was told that 3 of my pacifica engine motor mounts failed and needed immediate replacement at about $1000.00 dollars. I asked if this problem would occur again and was told I should have no further problems with the engine mounts by chrysler, elk grove. I paid for replacement. At approximately 105,000 miles, I began to here loud metal pounding after accelerating from the engine area. I could hear metal knocking when I slowly drove over bumps in the street. I could also feel my car give a hard jolt when accelerating. After visiting the chrysler, elk grove service center, I was told 3 of the engine mounts failed and needed immediate replacement for $1083.00 dollars. I told the service person that I had the same service repair and was told there would be no additional problems. Chrysler service replied the engine mounts on the chrysler fail due to wear and tear. My concerns are I dont feel safe knowing that my engine is not properly secured to the frame of my vehicle. Chrysler service also told me driving with failed mounts will lead to other problems. There is no warning when these engine mounts will fail. The service manual does not mention these parts should be inspected for wear and tear at certain intervals or miles. Please help with failed motor mounts.

Purchased this car used in february 2008. Shortly thereafter I noticed a knock in the front when turning wheel at low speeds (ie, backing up). Also felt slight vibration on acceleration. Dealer unable to find anything until june 2009. Miles 38733. Front tie rod was broken and replaced by dealer. This did not resolve the knock or the vibration on acceleration. Knock continued and got worse. At 61000, the car was again brought in for the knocking. At first look, the mechanic did not see a problem. I explained that at extreme turn of wheel at low speeds, there is a distinct knock in front. After his further inspection, I was advised by service center that the car has two (2) broken motor mounts and this could be the source of the knock and vibration. Was taken to dodge dealer where purchased to confirm broken motor mounts. Parts were replaced under extended warranty. Still did not resolve the knock.

I purchased 2007 pacifica in feb 07, within 2 months had been back to dealer twice for knocking while driving and vehicle feeling like it wanted to stall, also for extremely "rough ride" when traveling over the smallest of bumps in road. Dealer serviced vehicle twice, once replacing torque converter and once replacing motor mounts. The problems continue, although less than before.

I took my car in for transmission issues, ever time I would change my gears the SUV would jerk. I took it in, and they said I had a broken front and rear motor mound. So they replaced the front, and orders a rear. After leaving the that day my esp/bass light came on and my power light can my car rear tires were locking. I called them the next day and took it in 2 days later due to being booked, and they fix the rear mound, but said nothing was wrong with the esp/bass light and the other lights. My transmission is still jerking when driving. So I took it to their other dealership, I told her my engine light cam on and will not turn off now. My car seem to want to die. I got scared, and stopped waited 30mins then turned it back on, and lights were still on. So now my transmissions jerks, they said they fixed my motor mounds and that would fix it, but didn't. My brakes are now knocking, and they said it will do that because the car notices water on road so they knock. Lol that full of it. Yesterday there was no rain, and they were knocking when I would brake. Very scary. My car sometimes feel like it's going to die when I take off. They said there's nothing wrong. When I hit a bump, the front end sound like there's something loose . Feels like my engine is just sitting there. One of the tech told me when I went in the last time which was 12-17-07 the had a recall on motor mounds due to my engine being so powerful it brakes the ones on there due to using same 06 models mounds. So I told them why haven't I been informed of this. They said well when they brake you just come in. Just to let you know, I haven't even paid my first car note. I picked it up yesterday, and still it jerks and when I push the brake in the shifter is knocking now!! I told them I going to see about the lemon law, they said I don't have one. Where do I stand. I have three children and I feel this car is unsafe for us, they make me feel like I'm crazy when I tell them about what's going on.
