2007 Chrysler Pacifica AWD Owner Complaints

THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND IT CRANKS BACK UP. IT DOES THIS ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY. NO CODES COME ON THE WARNING LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. I KNOW THIS IS AN OLDER CAR AND I JUST BOUGHT IT BUT THIS IS A HAZARD CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS EVEN THE NEW MODELS AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND STAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

MY 2007 AWD CHRYSLER PACIFICA SHUT ITSELF OFF WHILE IT WAS BEING DRIVEN AT 55MPH ON A RURAL STATE HIGHWAY. THE ENTIRE VEHICLE SHUT OFF AND THERE WAS NO POER STEERING, ETC. IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE DEALER THE TIPM(CONTROL MODULE) FAILED. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR FAR FROM HOME. ORDUS CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT WHEN THE TIMP GOES BAD THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AND NOT TURN BACK UNLESS TAKEN TO A DEALER.

I HAVE A CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT AS I'VE DRIVEN IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR ROAD. IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AS I WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I'VE HAD IT IN AND OUT OF THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS AND I'VE BEEN GIVEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS AS TO WHAT'S WRONG. NONE OF THEM HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. FINALLY, TODAY I FOUND A MECHANIC THAT SAID IT WAS THE TIPM! UNFORTUNATELY FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN CHRYSLERS. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR THAT I'M GOING TO BE HURT WHILE DRIVING IT. I WAS ALMOST HIT WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND HAD KIDS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND IT'S DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS PUTTING THE CONSUMER AT SUCH A RISK. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT ON FRIDAY AND MADE A NOISE, THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE BROUGHT TO TIRE PLACE AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAS CRACKS IN IT. WE HAD THE TRANSFER CASE GO BAD IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND REPLACED IT WITH A COST OF OVER $2,000.00. NOW THE TRANSFER CASE CRACKED AND CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT IT HAS A 3YR 100,000 WARRANTY ON IT AND WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER UNDER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE OFF 1/8" OF AN INCH WHICH MADE IT CRACK, NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HEARD THAT TIRES BEING LOW ON PRESSURE OR WORN CAUSE PIECES OF YOUR CAR TO CRACK!! THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.

MY CAR WOULD BE HARD TO START AT TIMES, WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY, ABS, BRAKE, ENGINE, TRACTION LIGHTS ALL CAME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD DIE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF THE ABS MODULE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. I HAVE BROUGHT AT LEAST 2 BATTERIES, HAD BRAKES, DONE THINKING THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, NOW I FOUND OUT ITS THE TIPM MODULE.

WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AT SPEEDS OVER 40 MPH, THE CAR STALLS AND RESTARTS; IT IS AN EXTREMELY FRIGHTENING EXPERIENCE. IT HAPPENS WHEN ACCELERATING. IT HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 10 TIMES. WE HAVE ATTEMPTED TO FIX THIS 3 TIMES WITH OUR MECHANIC. AS NO CODES ARE TRIGGERED, IT IS A GUESS AS TO WHAT TO ADDRESS. BASED ON MY RESEARCH, THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT WITH THIS CAR. I ADVISE ANYONE NOT TO BUY THIS CAR AND I HOPE THAT CHRYSLER RECALLS THIS MODEL TO SAVE A LIFE. WE HAVE BEEN VERY LUCKY.

I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 30 MPH WHEN MY POWER STEERING STOPPED WORKING AND I NOTICED MY ENGINE HAD ALSO STOPPED. I STRUGGLED TO STEER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. I TURNED THE KEY OFF (THE ENGINE WAS ALREADY OFF). I WAITED A MINUTE AND STARTED THE VEHICLE WITHOUT A PROBLEM. I DROVE DIRECTLY TO MY MECHANIC WHERE HE COULD NOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS HAS HAPPENED 2 MORE TIMES (FOR A TOTAL OF 3 TIMES). ALL WHEN I WAS DRIVING BETWEEN 30 - 40 MPH. THE FIRST INDICATION OF A PROBLEM IS WHEN I LOOSE POWER STEERING AND NOTICE THE ENGINE HAS CUT-OUT. *TR

ABOUT A WEEK PRIOR THE VEH WAS DRIVING VERY SLUGGISH AND WOULD NOT RESUME NORMAL UNTIL REACHING 50MPH, THEN THE NEXT WEEK WHILE DRIVING AT ABOUT 35MPH THE VEH BEGAN SHAKING VERY BAD FORCING ME TO DROP SPEED TO ABOUT 15MPH. TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD I NEEDED A REAR DRIVE SHAFT AND ENGINE MOUNTS AND FROM WHAT I HEAR THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE VEHS. DRIVE SHAFT IS WELL OVER $1000.00 NOT TO MENTION LABOR, SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE. *TR

THE VEHICLE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. THIS HAS OCCURRED SIX TIMES SINCE FEBRUARY 1, 2014 (A PERIOD OF ABOUT SEVEN WEEKS). EACH TIME I HAVE BEEN LUCKY ENOUGH TO GUIDE THE VEHICLE OFF TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD, IN SPITE OF THE LOSS OF STEERING AND BRAKING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED WITH NO MAJOR PROBLEM EACH TIME. ALSO, THE ENGINE SPONTANEOUSLY REVVED AS THE VEHICLE LOST FORWARD MOMENTUM ON ONE OCCASION (ON A DATE PRECEDING THE FIFTH SHUTOFF EVENT), BUT REGAINED NORMAL OPERATION WITHIN SECONDS. ON THAT OCCASION I TOOK THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY TO THE DEALER FOR ANALYSIS; THEY UPDATED A COMPUTER MODULE. THE SHUTOFF HAS OCCURRED TWICE SINCE THE DEALER FIXED THE COMPUTER COMPONENT. ALL EVENTS OCCURRED WITHIN TWO TO FIVE MINUTES OF DRIVING THE CAR AFTER IT HAD BEEN SITTING FOR SEVERAL HOURS (COLD START?). MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT THIS IS A FREQUENTLY REPORTED PROBLEM WITH THE 2007 PACIFICA, AND THAT THE VEHICLE WAS RECALLED FOR THE PROBLEM IN MODEL YEARS 2004 - 2006. I PROVIDED A PRINTOUT OF MY RESEARCH TO THE DEALER, AND THEY HAVE HAD THE VEHICLE FOR FIVE BUSINESS DAYS WITHOUT BEING ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I REPORTED THE PROBLEM BY PHONE TO CHRYSLER, BUT THEIR COMPLAINT LINE DOES NOT OFFER SOLUTIONS (AND APPARENTLY DOES NOT PROVIDE FEEDBACK). *TR

I WAS DRIVING THE CAR TO THE GAS STATION TO PUT GAS IN IT AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AS I WAS PULLING UP TO THE GAS STATION AND THERE WAS A CAR COMING TOWARDS ME AND THE CAR HAD THE RIGHT OF WAY. I HAD TO LITERALLY STOP MY CAR AND RUN TO THE FRONT OF THE CAR THAT WAS COMING TOWARDS ME IN ORDER TO PREVENT AND ACCIDENT OF THE CAR RUNNING INTO MY CAR. I KNOW IT HAD ENOUGH FUEL I KEEP MY TANK FULL AND JUST WANTED TO FILL IT ALL THE WAY UP SINCE I HAD EXTRA FUNDS THAT WEEK. EVER SINCE THE SHUT OFF THE CAR HAD BEEN SPUTTERING AND HAVING TROUBLE SWITCHING GEARS. I JUST PURCHASED THIS CAR AND IT HAS BEEN A DISAPPOINTMENT, ONE AFTER THE OTHER!!!!! THEN THERE'S AN ISSUE WITH THE FRONT END WHERE YOU HEAR A POPPING SOUND IF YOU SHOULD HAVE TO UNEXPECTEDLY HAVE TO HIT THE BRAKES OR IF YOU GO OVER A SPEED BUMP. *TR
