BRAKING ISSUE; ABS LIGHT ON; INTERMITTENT BRAKE FAILURE; FRONT UPPER MOTOR MOUNT AS WELL AS MOTOR MOUNT BY RADIATOR; (FRONT LEFT CV AXLE RECENTLY REPAIRED) BRAKING PROBLEM PERSIST 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA JUST TODAY, HAVE A $706.00 REPAIR QUOTE: JUST PAID 207.18 2 DAYS AGO TO REPLACE LEFT FRONT CV AXEL !
SINCE I PURCHASED THIS IN 2008, I HAVE REPLACED THE AXLE, 2 WHEEL BEARINGS A FEW MONTHS AGO, A FEW YEARS AGO 1 ABS SENSOR WAS REPLACED VIA WARRANTY BUT THEY WOULDN'T REPLACE THE OTHER - WHICH WENT OUT 2 MONTHS LATER. THEY KNEW IT WAS GOING TO. I REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION 2 YEARS, THE FUEL PUMP & CATALYTIC CONVERTER LAST YEAR, JUST REPLACED THE OIL PAN GASKET 2 MONTHS AGO, THE RADIATOR 2 WEEKS AGO DUE TO COOLANT LEAD, AND NOW THE WATER PUMP IS LEAKING COOLANT. THIS IS JUST WHAT I CAN THINK OF OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD. IT HAS BEEN ONE PROBLEM AFTER THE OTHER WITH THIS VEHICLE AND I HAVE SPENT A FORTUNE ON IT. I CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT & MY VIN DOESN'T SHOW UP ON THE RECALLS. *TR
WHEN I DRIVE MY CAR I CAN HEAR MY ENGINE HITTING THE WALLS OF MY CAR. IT IS LOOSE AND ALSO THE BREAKS ABS LIGHT IS ON THROUGHOUT MY DRIVE. IF IT IS NOT ON THAN THE BREAKS SLIDE.
ABS LIGHT CAME ONWHILE TRAVELING IN FLORIDA. CAR MAKES GRINDING SOUND. LIGHT GOES ON AFTER DRIVING AWHILE. DOES NOT BRAKE PROPERLY IF LIGHT COMES ON WHILE COMING TO A STOP. REPLACE ALL BRAKES AND SENSORS AND STILL NO HELP. CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A PROBLEM AND IT IS GOING TO TAKE SOMEONE DYING BEFORE THIS GETS FIXED. THERE HAVE BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ON THIS AT MUCH LOWER MILEAGES THAN MY CAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING. EITHER CHRYLER KNOWS WHAT THE FIX IS AND DOES NOT CARE OR AT THIS POINT THEY REALLY DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO AND WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY.
I WAS DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS, APPROACHING A STOP SIGN; DRIVING DOWN A HILLY ROAD IN DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE, TN. MY ABS LIGHT SUDDENLY CAME ON AS I PRESSED THE BRAKE IT TEMPORARY MADE A GRINDING NOISE AND BRAKES TEMPORARY FAILED THEN AS SUDDENLY AS IT HAPPENED THE BRAKES STOPPED GRINDING AND THEN STOPPED. THIS IS A BRAKING ISSUE THAT CAME HAPPEN SUDDENLY WITH NO SIGN OR WARNING BEFORE IT HAPPENED!!!!!!!! THE ABS BRAKE SENSORS OR SOME MYSTERIOUS OTHER ABS RELATED ISSUE THAT IS STOMPING MECHANICS.I TOOK MY VEHICLE IN THE NEXT DAY AND HAD BRAKES REPLACED BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. MY BRAKES WORK FINE BUT AT TIMES I WOULD GET THE ABS LIGHT SIGNAL COMING ON THEN LIKE A SCRUBBING NOISE SEEM TO BE COMING FROM THE FRONT WHEELS WELL BRAKES CAUSING DIFFICULTY IN STOPPING. BUT NOT AT ALL TIMES. SOMETIMES THIS HAPPENS WITH NO ABS LIGHT COMING ON! AND THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AT LOWER SPEEDS 30 AND UNDER EVEN AT 15-20 MPH WHEN I AM BREAKING FOR A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN. I SAW ON SITES WHERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE HARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM AND WERE TOLD BY DEALERSHIPS AND MECHANICS THAT EVEN AFTER THOSE ARE REPLACED THE PROBLEM CONTINUES, NO ONE SEEMS TO BE ABLE TO FIND OUT WHAT THE REAL PROBLEM IS AND CHRYSLER WON'T EVEN TRY TO FIX MY VEHICLE WAS WORKING FINE THE ALL OF A SUDDEN, THE ISSUE. I THINK THIS IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION.I THINK THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL ON THE ABS WHEEL SENSORS AND THE MODULE CONTROL OR WHATEVER THE REAL PROBLEM IS? ONLY CHRYSLER KNOWS BUTR THEY ARE NOT TELLING!!! I THINK IF THEY WON'T ADDRESS THEN THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD MAKE THEM PLEASE INCLUDE THIS INT HE CURRENT RECALL LET'S GET THESE UNSAFE VEHICLES OFF THE ROADWAYS!!! NOW IS A GOOD TIME TO DOIT, WITH THE RECALL OF OTHER LIKE VECHILES FROM CHRYSLER ARE ALREADY IN RECALLN

ABS AND TRACTION LIGHT COMES ON INTERMITTENTLY. *TR
I HAVE HAD MY CAR FROM 2011 TILL CURRENT AND REPLACED THE FRONT AXLES/TIE RODS AT LEAST 3 TO 4 TIMES A YEAR. LAST INCIDENT IT BROKE WHILE PULLING OUT OF DRIVE WAY AND I LOST CONTROL AND ROLLED DOWN A HILL INTO 4 LANES OF TRAFFIC NARROWLY MISSING THE GAS PUMPS AT THE STATION ACROSS THE 4 LANE THANK GOODNESS NO ONE HIT ME WITH MY YOUNG CHILD IN THE CAR. WHEN I FIRST HAD TO TAKE IT TO A DEALER TO GET THEM CHANGED 2 OTHER CARS IN THIS SMALL TOWN I LIVE IN WERE THERE ALSO HAVING THERE'S REPLACED. THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL EVERY PERSON I TALK TO STATES THIS IS A PROBLEM THAT IS ARISING FROM A RUSTED CRADLE PROBLEM WHEN MANUFACTURING THE CAR. I WOULD LIKE MY CAR REPAIRED WHERE THIS WILL NO LONGER HAPPEN AND IT IS TOO EXPENSIVE FOR ME TO FIX. I HAVE DECIDED TO LOOK FURTHER INTO THIS ISSUE AND MAYBE COME TOGETHER WITH OTHER WITH THIS ISSUE. THERE SHOULD OF BEEN A RECALL BY NOW. I HAD MY OIL CHANGED AND WAS TOLD THAT MY BOOT IS BUSTED AND THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE DRIVERS SIDE YET AGAIN AND I DO NOT HAVE 119.00 TO PAY MY LOCAL DODGE FOR THIS YET AGAIN! *TR
MY WIFE WAS GOING 35MPH IN TOWN. COMING TO AN INTERSECTION SHE NEEDED TO TURN. NO BRAKES OR STEERING, BOTH STOPPED WORKING. LUCKILY NO ONE HIT HER AND SHE WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING THE TELEPHONE POLE. I HAVE SEEN A NUMBER OF PEOPLE ONLINE WITH SIMILAR ISSUES. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A STOP LIGHT, THE BRAKE PEDAL STARTED TO VIBRATE AS IT WAS BEING DEPRESSED. THE CONTACT ADDED MORE PRESSURE AND THE ABS WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT BRAKES NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED THE MASTER CYLINDER BUT FAILED TO REMEDY THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNAVAILABLE.
THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON NO MATTER WHAT I DO. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP, THEY RESET THE ABS BUT THE PROBLEM CAME BACK A MONTH LATER. TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEIR ENGINEERS WERE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AND DON'T KNOW HOW TO FIX IT. HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW IF MY BRAKES ARE IN PROPER WORKING CONDITION IF THE CHRYSLER ENGINEERS CAN'T FIGURE IT? *TR
THE ABS LIGHT STARTED TO JUST FLASH ON AND OFF, EVEN WHEN NOT BRAKING. THEN ABS STARTED TO MALFUNCTION CAUSING PROBLEM WITH BRAKING. WHILE I WAS DRIVING IT IN DOWNTOWN NASHVILLE AT ABOUT 25MPH, BRAKING DOWN HILL, I TAPPED ON THE BRAKES TO SLOW DOWN AND I COULD FEEL THE PEDAL RAPIDLY PULSATING AND NOTICED THE ABS LIGHT TURN ON AND THE CAR WAS HAVING DIFFICULTY STOPPING. THOUGHT I WOULD RUN THE STOP SIGN. IN LAST SECONDS NORMAL BRAKING OCCURRED. ABS LIGHT BEGAN COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY, TOOK TO SHOP FOLLOWING DAY. HAD FRONT AND REAR BRAKE REPLACED. LIGHT STARTING COMING ON AGAIN WITHIN A FEW DAYS, WHEN LIGHT COMES ON PROBLEM WITH BRAKES. *TR
WHILE HAVING MY BRAKES PADS AND ROTORS REPLACED, MY MECHANIC FOUND MY ENGINE CRADLE WAS BADLY CORRODED. THERE ARE GAPING HOLES IN THE FRAME AND HE SAID IT'S VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I HAD SEEN A REPORT ON TV ABOUT THE 2005 PACIFICA HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND I CALLED CHRYSLER. LIKE MANY, THEY TOLD ME MY CAR WAS MADE IN AUGUST 2004 AND THE WINDOW OF EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS FEB 23, 2004-MARCH 31, 2004. I HIGHLY DOUBT THE PROBLEM WAS CORRECTED. I LIVE IN CHICAGO AND WE DO USE SALT ON OUR ROADS, BUT I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY CAR. I AM VERY DISAPPOINTED IN CHRYSLER FOR NOT RECALLING THE DEFECTIVE ENGINE CRADLES! DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO DIE TO GET THESE CAR COMPANIES TO DO SOMETHING?? *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH, THE VEHICLE SHOOK WITH THE ILLUMINATION OF THE ABS LIGHT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED AND THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.... UPDATED 10-17-13 *BF WHEN BRAKING THE CAR STARTED SHAKING. STEERING WAS LOST, AND THE ABS LIGHT ILLUMINATED. UPON INSPECTION IT WAS FOUND THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE HAD RUSTED SO TO THE POINT THERE WERE BIG HOLES. THE ONLY THING HOLDING THE ENGINE CRADLE TOGETHER WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS.
I JUST GOT MY ABS LIGHT FIXED AND IT CAME BACK ON I LOOKED ONLINE AND SEEN ALOT OF PPL ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE I JUST PAID 300$. *TR
MY ABS LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. THE BRAKES LOCK UP WITHOUT WARNING. TODAY I HAD TO SWERVE ONTO THE SHOULDER TO AVOID A COLLISION. THIS HAS HAPPENED BEFORE BUT WITHOUT INCIDENT. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD AND SHOULD RECEIVE SPECIAL ATTENTION IMMEDIATELY! *TR
I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AND THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON. MOMENTS LATER I HAD TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP AND HAD VERY LITTLE BRAKING POWER. I HAD TO SWERVE SEVERELY TO AVOID AN ACCIDENT. SINCE THE LIGHT COMES ON FREQUENTLY AND BRAKING IS SEVERELY EFFECTED. NOTHING THE MECHANICS DO LASTS LONG. I CAN'T SELL THE CAR AND I'M AFRAID TO DRIVE IT OUTSIDE OF THE NEIGHBORHOOD. APPARENTLY EVERYTHING THE SERVICE CODE MAY INDICATE IS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS CAR HASN'T BEEN RECALLED YET. WITH SO MANY CARS HAVING THIS PROBLEM THERE HAS TO BE A COMMON FIX. *TR
TWO MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT MY PACIFICA MY ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND HAS CONTINUED TO COME ON EVEN AFTER IT WAS FIXED. APPARENTLY IT IS THE SENSOR THAT KEEPS HAVING ISSUES. IT READS A DIFFERENT SPEED THAN THE OTHER SENSORS. ALSO I KEEP HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON RANDOMLY. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR EVALUATION 3 TIMES AND EVERY TIME THEY TELL ME I NEED TO TURN THE GAS CAP SO MANY TIMES TO STOP THIS FROM COMING ON. THIS ACTUALLY DOES NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM, AS IT IS STILL CONTINUES TO COME ON AND TURN OFF RANDOMLY. AGAIN I ASSUME A SENSOR, THE AUTOMOTIVE PLACES ARE SURE I JUST NEED TO TURN THE CAP,HOW MANY TIMES WILL IT NEED TO BE TURNED 20 CAUSE 3, 4, 5 ,6 NONE OF THESE STOP THE PROBLEM, SUPER ANNOYING CHRYSLER CANNOT JUST FIX THE PROBLEM, THEY MADE THE CAR IT CANNOT BE THAT HARD TO FIX. *TR
THERE IS A VERY STRONG FUEL SMELL THAT IS SEEPING INTO THE PASSENGER COMPARTMENT OF THE CAR. IT SEEMS TO APPEAR AROUND 40 TO 50 MPH AND IS VERY STRONG IN THE LAST WEEK. AT 125,000 MI THE ABS SENSORS TURNS ON AND OFF CONSTANTLY. WHEN YOU FIRST PRESS THE BRAKES IT DOES NOT GRAB THE ROTORS AND CONTINUES TO NOT STOP UNTIL THE ABS LIGHT COMES ON AND THE BRAKES PERFORM NORMAL. THIS IS VERY SCARY BECAUSE THE CAR ALMOST WENT THRU SEVERAL INTERSECTIONS WITHOUT STOPPING. THE FUEL INDICATOR DROPS TO ALMOST EMPTY WHEN IT FALLS BELOW HALF A TANK FOR ABOUT 6 MONTHS. *TR
MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS CAR! I WILL START WITH THE PROBLEMS THAT DIDN'T ALMOST KILL MYSELF AND MY CHILDREN. THE ABS LIGHT WOULD STAY ON AND THE DEALER HAD NO RESOLUTION. THE CAR WOULD STALL WHILE TURNING. I REPLACED THE BATTERY FIVE TIMES IN FOUR YEARS. WHILE IDLING IN THE DRIVEWAY THE DRIVERS SEAT RECLINED BY ITSELF, WOULD NOT RESPOND TO THE CONTROLS AND STARTED SMOKING! THE DEALER CLAIMS THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM! LASTLY, WHILE DRIVING MY SONS TO SCHOOL, THE CAR WAS HANDLING POORLY AND BECAUSE IT WAS DARK AND RAINING, INITIALLY I BELIEVED THAT IT WAS WET ROAD CONDITIONS. TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR, I WAS TRAVELING IN THE SLOW LANE AND MY SPEED WAS APPROX. 30 MPH. UPON APPROACHING THE TOP OF A SMALL HILL, THE STEERING BEGAN TO VIBRATE VIOLENTLY, AT THIS TIME I BELIEVED THAT THE CAR HAD A FLAT TIRE AND THAT WAS WHAT HAD CAUSED THE POOR HANDLING WHILE DRIVING. I IMMEDIATELY HIT THE BUTTON FOR MY HAZARD LIGHTS AND BEGAN TO TRY TO EASE INTO THE EMERGENCY LANE AND ATTEMPT TO STOP THE CAR. IT WAS INSTANTLY APPARENT THAT THE CAR BRAKES AND POWER STEERING WERE NOT WORKING, WHICH LEFT ME STRUGGLING AT 30 MPH AND ACCELERATING BECAUSE OF THE I WAS NOW ON THE DOWNWARD SIDE OF THE HILL, TO TRY TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OF THE CAR! I WAS ABLE TO KEEP THE CAR FROM COMPLETELY VEERING TO THE RIGHT AND ULTIMATELY HIT A 5 INCH CONCRETE CURB THAT IS A TURN OUT FOR THE CORNER GAS STATION. UPON HITTING THE CURB THE CAR THEN SPRANG TO THE LEFT BACK INTO THE HIGHWAY LANE. MIRACULOUSLY, NO OTHER VEHICLES WERE TRAVELING IN THAT LANE AT THAT MOMENT! ONCE, WE WERE OUT OF THE CAR, I LEARNED THAT THE CAR DID NOT HAVE A FLAT TIRE BUT A PART OF THE FRONT END HAD BROKEN AND CAUSED THE PASSENGER FRONT TIRE TO COLLAPSE INTO THE WHEEL WELL...UNBELIEVABLE! I BELIEVE THIS TO BE A DEFECT OF THE CAR, IN ADDITION TO HE MULTITUDE OF OTHER DEFECTS OF THIS CAR!! *TR
ABS WARNING LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY. I HAVE HAD IT WORKED ON AND RESET BUT IT KEEPS COMING ON. THE MECHANIC SAYS THE DIAGNOSTIC CODE DOESN'T MAKE SENSE. IT IS BECOMING COSTLY TO KEEP HAVING IT CHECKED. THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL AS THERE ARE MANY PACIFICA'S THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING A STATE INSPECTION PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE SHE WAS NOTIFIED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO VERIFIED THE FAILURE AND STATED THAT IT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE WHO DID NOT OFFER ANY ASSISTANCE SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 76,000. ..UPDATED 05/10/13 *BF UPDATED 05/31/2013 *JS
I WAS PULLING INTO A LEFT HAND PARKING SPOT WHEN THE VEHICLE STALLED/COMPLETELY SHUT OFF. DASHBOARD LIGHTS WERE STILL ON. I WAS ABLE TO COAST BACKWARDS DOWN A SLOPE AND BACK INTO ANOTHER OPEN PARKING SPOT. I HAD NO POWER STEERING, AND BRAKES WERE VERY HARD TO DEPRESS. I LOOKED UP THE PROBLEM ON THE INTERNET AND LOOKED UP OPEN RECALLS. I FOUND A RECALL SIMILAR TO WHAT HAPPENED, BUT WHEN I CALLED BOTH DAIMLER-CHRYSLER AND A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND GAVE THE LAST 8 CHARACTERS OF MY VIN, THEY INFORMED ME THERE WERE NO OPEN RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. FROM WHAT I RESEARCHED, THIS MIGHT HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES AND I AM QUITE CONCERNED WITH MY SAFETY. *TR
I WAS TRAVELING WITH MY CHILDREN DOWN A STATE HIGHWAY WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY "MILES TO NEXT SERVICE" LIGHT WAS SAYING MY NEXT SERVICE WAS DUE IN 4555 MILES. HOW ODD, I THOUGHT, BUT DIDN'T HAVE TIME TO PONDER IT FURTHER AS I WAS GOING AROUND AT CURVE AT 45 MILES PER HOUR WITH CARS BOTH BEHIND ME AND ONCOMING, WHEN I REALIZED THAT MY STEERING HAD INEXPLICABLY GIVEN OUT. I ATTEMPTED TO BRAKE, ONLY TO REALIZE THAT MY BRAKES, TOO, HAD MALFUNCTIONED AND WEREN'T WORKING. I THREW ON MY FLASHERS AND DID EVERYTHING IN MY POWER TO GET THAT CAR SAFELY TO A HALT AT THE SIDE OF ROAD. IT WAS ONLY DUE TO MY EFFORTS THAT MY CHILDREN AND I WERE ABLE TO SAFELY EVACUATE THE VEHICLE BEFORE MORE DIRE CONSEQUENCES OCCURRED, BECAUSE THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS COMPLETELY DEAD. THANKFULLY, A KIND PASSERBY HELPED ME PUSH THE CAR OFF THE ROAD BEFORE SOMEONE HIT IT, AND I CALLED AAA FOR A TOW. I STILL DON'T KNOW WHAT CAUSED THIS POTENTIALLY LETHAL MALFUNCTION, BUT I HAD ADEQUATE FUEL IN THE CAR AND HAD THE OIL CHANGED LESS THAN TWO WEEKS PRIOR SO IT WASN'T SIMPLE OWNER NEGLECT. NO, IT WAS A CHRYSLER MALFUNCTION THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED MY CHILDREN AND I OUR LIVES TODAY. *TR
