She just doesn't like to start on occasion. The dealer diagnoses was it needed a new starter, took all of three minutes. Had a new starter put in, same issue. New relay and new shifter assembly with new switch installed. Parts department said they sell a "lot" of these. Still no resolution. She does not like to start about 2% of the time and does so after running the shifter up and down a few times. I am worried as I have asthma and need a working car to get to hospital immediately when attack occurs. So far been lucky with timing of no starts. Please help!!!

After my 2007 chrysler pacifica fuel gauge gets below 1/2 tank, the gauge starts dropping at an alarming rate. If I drive 1 mile it reacts indicating as much as a 10 mile drop. While sitting at a stop light the gas gauge jumps around between 2 and 3 miles differences. I do not get a full 20 gallon drive from my vehicle. I can fill up the car but once the gauge indicates it's empty the car will not start. I logged it as only showing 320 miles and going empty, when full the gauge indicates 400 miles. This reading is changing now on a weekly basis. I have looked on the internet and other people are complaining about the same problem with this car.

I purchased a brand new 2007 chrysler pacifica in april 2007. I've had problems with the engine mounts three times already (january 2008, august 2009 and september 2010). Most recently, I am experiencing problems with the transmission and oil pressure but the dealer does not seem to thing there is a problem. I'm tired of the run around that I'm getting. Last month, (around the first week in august 2010) I brought the car to dealer because it would not start. I asked them to check the transmission because it was acting odd, check the brakes, check the engine mounts since I knew these were problematic in the past. Also, asked them perform an oil change. I was told the car needed a new battery, some brake work and the tensioner needed to be replaced. An oil change was done. I was told the engine mounts were inspected and they were fine and there was no problem with the transmission. Well, little over a month later around sept. 22 2010, the transmission felt like it was dragging, engine was extremely hot, RPM's seemed to be out of wack and the oil fuel was really low. The car was inspected and I was told the rubber around the engine mounts had to be replaced and was making the engine pull away from the transmission which was causing the problem. I was told it was normal to burn / loose that amount of oil. I was charged another deductible and I took the car home. Well today, sept. 28th, I get in the car and the low oil light goes on and the transmission still seems / feels weird. What is going on with chrysler? Now I have to bring the car back in and most likely they will try to charge me another deductible to fix the oil problem, transmission and/or another engine mount. Apparently, chrysler knows these are problems but does not do anything to help the consumer. They should recall the car for the engine mount problem. Heaven forbid if I have my children in the car and the engine mounts crack at the same time. This is unacceptable.

My car won't start at least 4 times a week. You will be driving and it almost stalls. The gas tank fluctuated and does not read the right amount. Also when in reverse it has taken off on it's own at a very high rate of speed. I have had it into the dealership 25 day and 15 times in 9 months and they have replaced the map sensor, the PCM & bcm, the fuel injectors, several sensors and filters all to no avail and this was all just for the not starting. We sent in the lemon law paperwork and chrysler refused to call us back via the dealership and refuses to talk to us when we call the 800 number. Looking at other forums there are several people with this same problem and chrysler also ignores their complaints.

After the car was a month old a thumping started underneath upon starting. At times the thumping (shuddering) is severe and the engine does not start. After the transmission was reprogrammed (I doubt it was really done as there is no sticker underthe hood as required) the car, sometimes, lurches like a new driver with standard shift. The car, sometimes at around 32mph, surges or pulses. The climate control has not worked according to the instructions in the manual since day one. Now in coldweather, when it is directed to the floor, so much heat comes from the defroster that I get a headache and the floor is freezing. There is a clunking in the right front on nearly any road surface. I do not feel that it is a ball joint, but rather a strut. I scheduled an arbitration, but ncds did not botherto let me know if the arbitrator could make the meeting, so I did not attend. The meeting proceeded without me and the arbitrator and chrysler seem to feel that everything my car does is normal. I have been in the auto repair business for 40 years and have better things to do than make up problems.
