Page 2 of 5: complaints 11 to 40 of 109, newest first, as owners wrote them.
Random stalling w/ all functions stopping. Brakes, steering..ect. Took it to several licensed/certified mechanics and not 1 of them can tell me what is wrong. This has nearly caused 2 serious crashes so I no longer allow anyone to ride in the car with me. The stalling has happened on the highway going nearly 70mph, on a 2 lane highway through town with heavy traffic going approx. 35 MPH, its happened in my neighborhood street, on the way home from work on a country road (several times). The vehicle hasn't ever stalled while running and stationary. For me this has only happened while in motion
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler pacifica. While driving at unknown speeds, the rpms decreased and the vehicle stalled. Additionally, the passenger side low beam headlight was flickering. There were no warning indicators illuminated. The vehicle was taken to key chrysler jeep dodge (2020 n detroit st, xenia, oh 45385) where it was diagnosed that the exhaust gas re-circulation valve and the computer module needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted and did not assist. The failure mileage was 100,540.
While driving at low speed or accelerating from being previously idle, the oil pressure warning light and the traction control indicator will simultaneously light up. Upon doing so, the engine will lose all power and shut off. This requires the driver to put the car into neutral or park to start the vehicle again. This problem occurring while driving has the potential to cause an accident at no fault of the driver from this loss of control.
Engine rusts and cradles like if it's going to fall out the car. When driven engine shakes and moves back and forth making a pounding sound. Feels very unsafe.
Engine will shut off but will restart

I purchased my 2007 chrysler pacifica at a dealer ship in february 2017. I have just had the vehicle for 5 months. The car had everything running and when I say everything running; I mean A/C was working just fine as well as the heater and all windows rolled up and down. I had everything updated on this vehicle. Now 5 months later, I have neighbors on 7/25/2017 at around 2pm that witnessed my car catching on fire. How? I don't know and I am confused and worried because I had just pulled up to my home with my fiance. Our car caught on fire on 7/25/17 I had to call the fire fighters to come out and put the fire out. This was the most scariest thing I have ever experienced. I am overwhelmed. The fire fighters put the fire out and now I am with no vehicle. I am a single mother of 3 that works a double shift just to make a way in life. I am very disappointed in this experience and fear for my life from here on out. I am scared to drive or get in any car because mind you my car had been driving perfectly fine. I am disgusted at the fact that there are cruel people out here with license dealerships that are able to sell vehicles with vehicles that can cost someone's life. This is not acceptable and I am requesting an explanation to why this happened and I would like some kind of reimbursement for my vehicle. Me and my children don't have thousands of dollars to throw away I paid for this car cash. If you need proof of my car I can send pictures and report from fire fighters. I can send you proof of me owning the vehicle. I look forward to speaking with you soon you may reach me at [xxx] my name is [xxx] you may also call me via telephone at [xxx]. Thank you for your time. I hope you have a great day! Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u.s.c. 552(b)(6).
The motor mounts continue to fail. Keep needing replaced.
My car stops running shortly after driving within a few minutes with zero warning. When this happens the power steering and breaks stop functioning. I have been able to successfully been able to restart the car and continue to my destination. This creates a defiant safety hazard and has happened randomly on multiple occasions. The stalling started at the time when the check engine light and 'gascap' warning message came on - permanently. The mechanics have been unable to fine the problem and there are no computer code readings. Has there been a recall for this problem from chrysler?
Stalls while driving, losing steering, braking, lights. Too many close calls while driving. Have replaced, egr valve along with couple of other sensors and continue to have issue with it growing in severity and occurrences.
Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler pacifica. While driving approximately 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled without warning. After the vehicle was restarted, it only operated in reverse. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the front passenger side motor support mounts were fractured and affected other mounts. The vehicle was being repaired for the fourth time. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 84,000.
The oil cooler rusted out and liquid poured from it. Over heated terribly. Part is on national backorder and no one anywhere ha's this part. Driving, computer malfunction while driving 55mph threw my car into limp mode. Pulling out of gas station, driving maybe 4mph, ABS, traction and throttle body light came on and brakes froze. Had to throw my car into park to avoid hitting pole. Refuses to turn over. Hate this car nothing but problems!
The SUV shuts of while moving. While we are driving (in motion) the SUV will completely shut off and we have to restart it by placing it in neutral and turning the key. We have reported it to chrysler 3 times and we have spent $900 to fix the problem but it just happened again 2 days after we picked it up from the dealership. All repairs for this SUV were done by the dealership over the life of the SUV. We were told that the SUV has not duplicated the problem while in the dealership while being repaired and they have said that the vehicle was driven over 100 miles by them without shutting off. If this is true, why did it shut off while my family was driving it 2 days after we picked it up. They are not telling the truth. We do not want to take the car back to the dealership for a 4th time for this problem until we find out what can be done. The truck is in great shape besides this problem that is extremely dangerous and scary when it happens. This is a serious safety issue. There have been other incidents of this very problem with chryslers as well.

It was raining out and I was decreasing speed pulling into a turning lane, the car lost steering and brakes until I was able to get it off the road and turn it off and restart it.
Shortly after starting and driving the car, within a couple of minutes, the car completely stops running with no warning lights. Just dies while driving as if the ignition was just turned off. This has happened multiple times causing a significant safety hazard as the power brakes and steering immediately stop working. The car is under an extended manufacturer's bumper-to-bumper warranty so the repair should be covered as it is a clear defect. Apparently, because the car just stopped, no codes were recorded as to the nature of the problem. Hence, the dealer was unable to identify a problem. The dealer recommended that the cost of a suspected repair be made by the owner because they could not definitely define the problem as necessary to be reimbursed under the warranty. Recommended repair was done at owner's cost yet the same thing happened again. An earlier model of this car had a recall to repair a similar if not identical problem.

Have owned a 2007 chrysler pacifica for almost 3 years now - bought it used and enjoy most features of this car having waited for a few years to purchase one after having recurring (and costly) repair issues with my previous chrysler (cirrus.) however, for the past year, I've experienced intermittent stalling issues with my car - while operating/driving and I am now terrified of the what "ifs" since I thought we'd resolved the issue just over a month ago when replacing my egr valve. This was a huge expense particularly since I've been underemployed for a while now, but then again today while driving with my young daughter the issue happened again!! I too have had my share of being inconvenienced by taking to multiple mechanics and repair shops saying they need to "mimick" the issue in order to find the problem. Since this issue occurs intermittently, how is that exactly suppose to happen??? Chrysler corporate really needs to step up and address this issue asap since this appears to be a major issue and possible defect on the products themselves used when manufacturing this car and/or a huge defect of this particular make and model of vehicle, in general! Chrysler - please hear us before you all are faced with an even larger penalty than the ones used to recently bail you out - please don't make a further mockery of the process by ignoring the voice of your consumer on such a major health and safety concern. To echo the words of another complaint I came across in my research of this specific issue... The price to replace a defect is much less than that of a human life!!
I have had this 2007 pacifica since 2009, bought it with 12,000 miles on it. It now has 109,000 miles. In the past year the car has stalled intermittently when slowing down at stops, took it in, no problem found. It has also had light smoke coming from under the hood intermittently since I bought it, had it looked at several times, no problem found. This week I was driving the car at @30ish MPH when it stalled on a busy road, but was luckily able to turn off the road with no power steering safely. It has been at the dealers for 3 days and no problem found at this point. I have children and no longer feel safe driving them in this vehicle. If ther is "no problem" to fix, that is a major problem, because a car stalling waiting to be hit and someone injured, is a problem!!! I have called corporate and awaiting to speak with a case manager about this issue, but from what I have read online, if the dealership cannot mimic the issue, then corporate will likely say there is no problem. I cannot just wait to see if it happens again, and next time on the highway as I have read in other cases, when someone could be hurt! Also concerned with the "no problem" when it smokes under the hood, as I have read a couple of incidents where the car caught fire. Have a rental car now...hope corporate doesn't blow me off!
Within minutes of pulling out of my driveway my 2007 chrysler pacifica touring simply shut down. Unfortunately, it was a shock to me when I lost acceleration and power steering in the middle of driving and it took me a few seconds to figure out what had happened. I pulled over with some difficulty and put the car into park. I was able to re-start the vehicle and returned home. Since that date, my husband has been driving the vehicle as it was our teenager's primary means of transportation prior to the incident. I shudder to think what could have happened to her as she is a new driver and my own reaction to the incident was inappropriate. I should have put the car into neutral and re-started it, but thank god I did live and learn. Since that incident my husband has experienced the same loss of power on three additional occasions. I am in constant fear that the car will shut down while pulling out into traffic. It has already happened once. Thankfully other drivers were aware and were able to slow down in time for my husband to re-cover. As I have read many other incident reports concerning my vehicle having the same issue, I am hopeful that chrysler will address the problem before someone ends up injured or dead.
Drive at about 60 MPH whren my car just shout down . Had no sterting or breaks . Lucky this is not the first time it has happed and I knew tio put it in neutral and turn the key ,drop it in drave and a awy you go . The other times this has happened to many to count I was slowing down to corner very scary when you cant stop or turn your wheel . No warning lights or signs .
Purchased the pacifica touring awd in september/october, 2013. It was in fabulous condition. A couple of months later, I experienced my first of eight occurrences wherein the vehicle shut off without warning. Once the engine shut off, power brakes and power steering didn't function properly, likely because the engine was no longer running. Five of these eight occurrences have been within one mile of my residence. Additionally, it occurred once in a parking lot, once in an intersection, and once as I was getting onto an interstate highway. A few of the occurrences almost resulted in accidents. I was at the mercy of the other drivers in those cases. I have six grandchildren. I'm hesitant to take them on trips because I have no confidence in my pacifica's safety and reliability. My vehicle safety complaint seems eerily similar to numerous other owner's 2007 pacifica safety complaints. I pray chrysler will investigate this issue to determine what is causing the engine failure before a precious life is lost. Chrysler, please identify the cause and notify the owners of the fix soonest. It makes no sense to continue neglecting these safety claims. I'm certain $$$ is causing your hesitation to investigate; however, it will seem like pennies compared with the cost you will undoubtedly pay due to negligence in the event of injury or fatality. Thanks in advance for hearing my concern, diagnosing the problem, identifying the solution, and quickly implementing your plan to repair the affected vehicles. Safety has a price, but human life is priceless.
