From one day to another, the engine light turned on, the oil light turned on, the esp bas light turned on, the car sign with the curved lines under it, and the awd sign and that's just to name a few. The car was also not reversing and the car was shifting really hard. Took it into the dealer, and they told my mechanic that it was the computer, but they weren't sure if that would even fix the problem because they are not sure if that is the problem. They said I would have to pay for everything and if that didn't fix it I would have to spend more money until they found the actual fix.and the best part is when the car was under warranty they had to reprogram the PCM. Power train:automatic transmission:control module (TCM, PCM). This car has always been kept in tip top shape with its regular maintenance, oil changes and etc... Do not know what to do at this point because under the advice of my mechanic, he says this car is way to new to be giving so many problems. All I know is that chrysler will be hearing from my attorney, because for what I know this is not the first time chrysler has had problems with their PCM,TCM which is the cars computer. Someone please help!!!! I can not drive this car anymore, I have a 2 year old daughter and I refuse to put her in a car that is going crazy!
My chrysler pacifica has several problems with transmission. Recently the transmission wont shift past 2nd. I don't know what to do or how much it cost.

The dealer was not informed since the vehicle was no longer under warranty, nor did the contact inform the manufacturer. The vehicle was taken to a private mechanic who performed a diagnostic test which confirmed that a relay switch was damaged due to water and without it the computer malfunctioned. The engine mount also failed causing the torque converter to deposit shards of metal into the rubber seal around the torque converter and as a result he needed to have the transmission rebuilt. The private mechanic was performing the repairs. The current and failure mileage was 86,000. Updated 3/28/11 *cn updated 04/29/11

Purchased a used 2007 chrysler pacifica (6-speed auto) from chrysler dealer with around 40k miles. Immediately noticed that the transmission shift points were not what they should be. There were very noticeable bangs when the car shifted gear. Returned car to dealer who stated that there was a service bulletin to reflash shift points. The work was completed and car appeared to shift more normally but still felt some good bumps when shifting. Took car to dealer for second service trip and they stated that motor mounts needed replaced. I searched the internet and found an unending list of identical problems. The motor mounts have failed from 2004 till the present. Something needs to be done about this.
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.
While driving my vehicle (2007 chrysler pacifica) begins to stall and shudder. The electronic throttle control light began flashing. The vehicle has had 3 incidents where the vehicle will not start at all, and I was stranded - all related to the etc.
I am sure that you are swamped with toyota issues, but we chrysler owners are getting upset at the performance also. Broken motor mounts, torque converters, rough idles, stalling, bumping gears, etc. My 2007 chrysler pacifica is the roughest transmission I have ever driven in my 38 plus years of driving, stalling on morning start-ups, banging noises in the front around turns, and the list goes on. Chrysler must do something on this discontinued pacifica model, the 4.0 litre touring. Like most owners of the chrysler piece, this is the last chrysler I will ever own, or perhaps maybe they, or no-one even cares. These numerous repeating complaints should be taken care of, or does it take deaths to get attention, and how many does it take? Is 54 enough, as I read in the USA today about how many gas and brake related deaths are being investigated because of toyota greed?
We own a 2007 pacifica, we love this car, but the transmission is so bad, we have taken it to the dealer 8 times to have the problem fixed. To no avail it is still not fixed, the problem with the transmission is a shifting issue it just does not shift all the time. The dealer has flashed the computer, rebuilt the transmission, and replaced the torque converter, still nothing works. Chrysler will not replace the transmission though, even though I think there is a defect somewhere in the transmission for nothing at all to fix the problem. Of course now it is out of warranty so now they will be happy to change the transmission yeah for 4200.00. I just wish there was something that could be done about this scam that chrysler fed me. It is to bad too, as I have owned chryslers for over 25 years and this is how they treat there loyal customers. Will not be buying anymore chryslers.
Engine light on for more than a week. Did not notice anything different while driving. Took vehicle in to have inspection 6/14/2009, and found error codes after diagnostic test was performed on the transmission. Was then quoted $8,000 to tear down and inspect, labor, and new transmission.
07 pacifica touring was brought in for transmission shuttering and was told that the torque converter was bad and was a recall, so it's covered under warranty, but 2 motor mounts are "hanging on by rubber" at 70,000 miles. Service claims the two are not related. Motor mounts are not covered under warranty.
