YEAR2006 MAKE/MODELCHRYSLER PACIFICA MILEAGEABOUT 99,000 DRIVING FOR 13+ YEARS; HAD BEEN GETTING CHECK ENGINE AND ABS SIGNS ON DASHBOARD NOW AND THEN FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS; IN HUMID DAYS RECURRENCES WERE MORE THAN IN COLDS. VA INSPECTION, BOTH EMISSION AND SAFETY, PASSED EVERY YEAR, LAST ONE BEING IN JULY 2019, WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. SINCE LATE JULY ABS SIGN CEASED TO APPEAR ANY MORE, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS APPEARING STEADILY. IN DIAGNOSTICS P0700, P0732 AND P0720 CODES WERE RETURNED. NOW A DAYS, WHEN I COME TO A STOP/RED LIGHT, ON FULL BRAKE, ENGINE MAKES A JERK, AND SPEEDOMETER READING JUMPS FROM 0 TO 20 MPH. ALSO, BREAK PEDAL EXPERIENCES A PUSH-BACK, CAUSING TENDENCY TO DRIVE FORWARD. OVER 30 MPH GAS PEDAL DEMANDS MORE COMPRESSION, AND ENGINE MOTION ROARING ALSO SURGES, NO RATTLING. WHAT KIND OF RISK I AM CARRYING IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS, COST FOR REMEDY AND IS IT WORTH TO INVEST IN FIXING THE PROBLEM(S)? *TR

MY GAS PEDAL STICKS. WHEN I TURN ON MY CAR TO BACK OUT OF A PARKING SPOT THE PEDAL WILL NOT MOVE UNLESS I PUSH DOWN HARD ON IT. TO AVOID HITTING CARS BACKING OUT OR PARKING LOTS YOU HAVE TO USE FORCE ON THE PEDAL TO MOVE THE CAR AND IT JERKS FORWARD FAST WITH NO CONTROL OTHER THAN TO HOLD YOUR FOOT OVER THE BRAKE AT THE SAME TIME SO YOU DO NOT ACCELERATE INTO A VEHICLE.

THE GAS PEDAL STICKS ON THIS VEHICLE WHEN TRYING TO ACCELERATE. WHEN THE CAR DOES FINALLY START MOVING FORWARD IT "JERKS" FORWARD RAPIDLY. THIS HAS OCCURRED WHEN PULLING OUT OF PARK & ALSO WHEN TRYING TO PULL OUT INTO TRAFFIC. FROM RESEARCHING IT ON THE INTERNET IT SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE RELATED TO THE THROTTLE BODY.

I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFIC. WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH THE ABS LIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY A CHIME NOISE THAT SOUNDED THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE.THEN A TICKING NOISE PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE LOOSING ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY! THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR AWHILE, ONCE FOR MORE THAN 30 MIN THEN CAR CUTS BACK ON AND WORKS FINE UNTIL THE ABS LIGHTS, COME ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT FOLLOWED BY THE CHIMES AND THE TICKING THE CAR CUTS OFF AGAIN. CAN NOT GET A MECHANIC TO FIX IT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE RECALL AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. PROBLEM #2 IS THE MOUNTS THAT HOLD THE MOTOR ARE CORRODED AND RUSTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS ANOTHER DEFECT AND THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHERE THE MOTOR JUST FALLS OUT. TWO MOUNTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT I STILL HEAR THE KNOCKING AND A PULLING SENSATION SOMETIMES. FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN JANUARY THE PAST TWO MONTHS IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AT LEAST ONCE A DAY WHERE THE CAR JUST CUTS OFF. *JS

I HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED IN 2012; THE NEXT MONTH THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. TEN MONTHS LATER, THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS INSIGNIFICANT, THAT THE BRAKES ARE FINE. IN THE FALL OF 2013, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP BECAUSE IT TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES. I SPENT OVER $800.00 HAVING A BUNCH OF CODES CLEARED WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER THINGS. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF FOR A FEW DAYS BUT CAME BACK ON. THERE WAS AN ERROR THAT READ GAS CAP. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. IN MARCH 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CALIBERS BUT LATER WAS TOLD THAT I DIDN'T. I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TO CHECK AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKES. I HAD THOSE REPLACED. ON 4/7/2014, I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING GARAGE AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO UNSTICK IT. TODAY, APRIL 13, 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FRONTEND. I LOVE MY CAR BUT IT JUST DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. *JS

IVE HAD THIS CAR FOR JUST OVER ONE YEAR. I HAVE REPLACED 2 MOTOR MOUNTS, 6 MONTHS APART. THE ELECTRIC COOLING FAN MOTOR BEARING WENT BAD AND YOU CANT REPLACE JUST THE MOTOR, YOU HAVE TO REPLACE BOTH MOTORS, BOTH FANS AND THE SHROUD ( RIDICULOUS ). MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AND SAYS FUEL CAP ON DASH BUT I REPLACED THE CAP AND NOW AS I'M LOOKING ON THIS SITE I KNOW ITS PROBABLY THE GAS TANK LINES CRACKED. IVE ALSO GOT THE STICKY GAS PEDAL, TRANSMISSION BANGS INTO 2ND RANDOMLY. MY CONCLUSION AFTER READING ABOUT SO MANY PROBLEMS THAT MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE IS THAT THERE SHOULD BE RECALLS. I MEAN JESUS WERE TALKING ABOUT FIRE HAZARDS AND A STICKING ACCELERATOR POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AT SUCH LOW MILES. NEVER AGAIN CHRYSLER. *TR

ON MARCH 5, 2012 I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY $95.00 FOR A FULL DIAGNOSTIC TO SATISFY [XXX] ([XXX] CORPORATE OFFICE). THE SERVICE WAS RENDERED BY CAPITAL CHRYSLER 200 WATERFIELD RIDGE PLACE, GARNER NC 27529. THE SERVICE REP [XXX] AND SERVICE MANAGER [XXX] INFORMED ME THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER REPLACEMENT LOOKED USED DUE TO THE RUST ON IT AND WAS CAUSING OTHER MECHANICAL FAILURES IN MY VEHICLE BUT WOULD NOT CONFIRM THIS IN WRITING. I DO NOT HAVE AN EXTRA $1000.25 SITTING AROUND TO PAY FOR A PART THAT CHRYSLER IS WELL AWARE OF IT BEING DEFECTIVE OR USED. CHRYSLER SETTLED A LAWSUIT IN 2005-6 WITH THE U. S. ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY FOR THE DEFECTIVE CATALYTIC CONVERTER. IN CLOSING, AS A RESOLUTION TO THIS MATTER I WOULD LIKE ALL REPAIRS RELATED TO THIS MATTER REPLACED AT NO EXPENSE TO ME BY A CERTIFIED CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP OF MY CHOOSING. AFTER VIEWING THE INFORMATION ON THE FOLLOWING WEBSITES; HTTP://WWW.DAIMLERCHRYSLERVEHICLEPROBLEMS.COM, HTTP://WWW.EPA.GOV/COMPLIANCE/RESOURCES/CASES/CIVIL/CAA/DAIMLERCHRYSLER-FCSHT.HTML, AND HTTP://WWW.LEMONAIDCARS.COM/SECRETWARRANTIES.HTML I AM EVEN MORE EDUCATED AND CONVINCED THAT MY 02 OXYGEN SENSORS AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER WERE DEFECTIVE INITIALLY WHEN I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE AND THAT IT WAS REPLACED WITH A USED AND/OR DEFECTIVE BY [XXX] CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. LISTED BELOW ARE ADDITIONAL ISSUES I HAVE EXPERIENCED WITH MY CAR SINCE OWNING IT: 1.SECOND REPLACEMENT OF CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND 02 OXYGEN SENSORS 2.HEAD LIGHTS AND TAIL LIGHT GOING OUT FASTER THAN ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE OWNED. 3.HUMMING ENGINE NOISE, LESS ENGINE POWER THAN IT INITIALLY HAD, 4.FREQUENT REPLACEMENT OF THE BATTERY 3 TIMES IN5 YEARS. IS THAT NORMAL? 5.STICKY GAS PEDAL, IT IS VERY HARD TO PUSH DOWN AT TIMES INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
