I Say A Week Later My I Was Parked An Tried To Put The Car In Drive I Wouldn't Shift Shifter Broken Only To Find Out It Was A Piece Inside The Shifter. So I Replaced That And After Replacement Of That Now I’m Having Transmission And Electric Problems. The Car Shifts Rough And As I’m Driving The Car Doesn’t Shifts Gears Now Also Will Shift Into Auto-stick On It’s On. I’ll Put My Car Into Drive An As I’m Proceeding To Drive Say At 20mph My Rpm’s A Stay At x2000 I’ll Continue To Speed Up To 30,40 mph And My Rpm’s Will Be The Same As If My Transmission Isn’t Shifting Gears Also Hear A Whining Noise As I Drive. Replaced Transmission Inner And Outer sensors Still Having The Same Problem. Now He’s Saying My Transmission Is Shot All Together. I Put In Total $800.

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 reverse clutch burnt out. The car was parked and wouldn't go in reverse. The car is in limp mode. The rpms are ranging high because it can't shift properly. The transmission is about to go out completely.

We were driving. I asked my husband to clean the windshield. As soon as he pulled the wiper stem, the headlights went out. The car restarted, but the headlights wouldn't come back on. We pulled over again and opened the hood. The car would restart, but now the dash cluster was out along with the headlights. We turned the engine off and weirdly, the headlights came on. They were flashing on and off, over and over. Within the next ten minutes the car would start but wouldn't shift out of park. From there the armrest controls stopped functioning, and eventually the car just chattered when the key was turned. Then it wouldn't even do that. It completely died. Four weeks and $1600 later, we have a new tipm l. The entire electrical system was fried.

Tl* the contact owns a 2007 chrysler pacifica. The contact stated that while trying to accelerate to highway speeds of 70 MPH, the vehicle began to drag and feel heavy. In addition, the gears would not shift correctly. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic for diagnosis where the contact was advised that the motor mounts collapsed, causing the transmission to fall and rest on the frame of the vehicle. The vehicle was repaired for the motor mounts. The contact stated that the motor mounts were repaired three times prior to the most recent failure. The manufacturer was contacted and offered no assistance. The failure and the current mileages were approximately 87,500. The VIN was unavailable.

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.

My new 2007 chrysler pacifica has and nothing but transmission problems! I had a torque converter replaced at less than 1000 miles and have had it in to have the transmission looked at twice in the past 6 months. The first time was told nothing was wrong- the second time they "flashed" something based on a service bulletin. The transmission has continually shifted very hard from gear to gear. This morning, the transmission is out completely and the car will not shift at all.

I purchased a '07 chrysler pacifica in february. I've had nothing but problems with the car. I had to have the motor mount replaced. I had problems with it shuttering and acting as though it doesn't shift between 30-35 MPH. I've had the torque converter replaced on it as well. After that I've had to have the tie rods replaced, and the struts. Since I've noticed that almost everyone is having the torque converter and motor mount problems as well as other chrysler vehicles this should be addressed. Since I've had the torque converter removed while it was still in shop I get my car back and when you let go of the steering wheel it veers completely to the left. Now the dealership is trying to clean their hands and saying it's a defect with the car; they have to contact chrysler. Hello-it didn't do this before I took it in and now it is since they've 'fixed' it. It's actually unbelievable since so many car manufacturers are failing you'd think they'd recall this problem, fix it and keep what reputation they have left.
