Stalls when making left turn. Have taken to the Chrysler dealership. Unable to replicate the problem nor find a computer error code. Nothing has been done to fix the problem which persists.

My 2005 Chrysler Pacifica has stalled on me on two occasions. I was making a sharp left on both occasions. I took the vehicle into the dealer and they could not reproduce the stalling and commented that they have not information from Chrysler that there is a problem. You can type Pacifica and stalling and find numerous Pacifica owners with the exact same problem. Since Chrysler will not take responsibility, I am asking you to address this issue. This is very dangerous and potentially life threatening.

When making a left hand turn, my vehicle lost all power. The engine, power steering, and power brakes failed. This has happened several other times. I have taken the vehicle to my Chrysler dealer twice for this problem. Each time, they were unable to duplicate the problem. The second time my vehicle was at the dealer, they reprogrammed the engine controller. However, this has not solved the problem. I sent a certified letter to Chrysler and the NHTSA on 11/12/05. It was received by Chrysler on 11/15/05. Chrylser did not respond to my letter. Chrysler has never responded to my concerns. This defect has the possibility of causing a collision resulting in death or serious bodily injury.

2005 Pacifica touring was leased in July 2005. Since then, the upgraded infinity sound system has required repair twice and regularly makes a loud popping sound. The ABS warning light came on signaling a failure in the anti-lock brake system March 2006. I scheduled an appointment for March 30, 2006 to repair the ABS system and on my way to work, I needed to turn left, put my foot on the brake, and the car suddenly sped up instead of slowing down. A few weeks prior, we slowed down to make another left turn and the vehicle stalled and shut off completely. I had leased the Pacifica for 36 months, and last week when the ABS system failed and my car sped up while braking, I took it back to the dealership and demanded that they get me out of that vehicle. I was able to terminate my lease and purchase a Jeep vehicle (the dealership sells Jeep) because after I read dozens of consumer complaints, reviews from NHTSA and Consumer Affairs about the safety issues of this vehicle, I couldn't, in good faith, put myself or my child in that vehicle ever again. Not only would driving the Pacifica put our lives at risk, but that of others. I could not live with myself if I knowingly operated a hazardous vehicle and hurt someone as a result. Push for a replacement. You'll get one!

While driving at medium speeds the car stalls losing all electrical and engine components. While driving there is no warning of the stall, car drives fine and all of the sudden no power, no brakes, no engine. The car stalls when turning, a few times turning left while going through an intersection coming inches away from being hit by other vehicles while the wife and 2 kids are in the car. Other instances on exit ramps while turning coming inches away from the guardrail and being hit by cars following. Taken to the dealer 4 times, same response, no service codes, can't replicate problem. I was told from 2 dealers, don't bring the car back with this problem, we can't fix it or replicate it. This car is a hazard!

My wife and I leased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in April. The car stalls for no apparent reason. The first time this occurred was when my wife was driving with our 3 small children. The car stalled and all power was lost. It was raining that day. I drove the car 12/27/05 and the car stalled on me going down a very steep incline. It just so happens that it was raining that day too. I almost hit a utility poll as I lost my steering. I had to really pull on the wheel and pump the brakes to pull off the side of the road safely. I turned the ignition off and restarted the car. The car was brought back to the dealer of origin twice and we were told that they connected the cars computer to a diagnostic machine that informs the dealer if the car has a problem, but both times the dealer couldn't find a problem. At this point I'm very concerned about this issue as I experienced a situation that could have resulted in serious injury to me or any other motor vehicle operator that I could have collided with. I'm placing everyone on notice of this major problem in hopes that someone will do something to correct it before a family member, perhaps yours, doesn't come home one day because a Pacifica stalled and rammed the car in which your loved one was an occupant. The first time this occurred the car had 5000 miles registered and the second time it had approximately 10,000.

My 2005 crhysler Pacifica is having big safety hazard problems when I completely turn the steering wheel to the left at a certain speed the car shuts off. That has happened 6 times so far. When I take it to the dealer they say they can't find anything wrong. This is a deadly safety hazard.

Intermittently, all electrical in vehicle fails. Unable to start, no power, vehicle is dead. Then suddenly, vehicle is able to start and run normally. I believe that it may have something to do with remote start system.

I was making a left hand turn across 2 lanes of traffic when my engine stopped, power steering stopped, and the oil light came on. I immediately contacted the dealer. They were unable to duplicate the problem and told me to come back when the problem was more persistent. I have two children 2 and under and taking the chance that we will be in a collision when the engine and power steering fail is not an option.

When turning corners my 2005 Pacifica will occasionally stall causing the steering wheel to lock and all systems to fail. I have had the car towed to the dealership 3 times and they were unable to locate any problem. The 1st time, they didn't find a problem in the computer system. The 2nd time, they found a problem in the fuel pump. They replaced the fuel pump. The 3rd time, they told us they could not determine what the problem was nor could they replicate the stall. My wife drives this car to school everyday with my 2 kids. She narrowly avoided a serious accident when the car stalled this last time. I will be filing for the SC lemon law.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica stalls and also puts itself into neutral while driving or after stopping and starting again. I brought it to the dealer who said they could not find a problem. This afternoon on my way home from work on the highway it went into neutral again (not the shift itself but the engine revved up and then jumped or should I say banged back into the correct gear). Then later in the evening I had a problem starting it on my way to my daughters soccer game. It also acted like it wanted to stall the whole way there and the same thing happened when we went to leave the game 1 hour later. This is extremely dangerous not only for me but also for my 7 year old and 6 month old driving with me 90% of the time.

This is the 3rd incident in which while driving the car power has been lost to my 2005 paciifica. In all instances the dash would go out and the engine would not rev and the oil light would come on. This last time on 09/07/05 the engine lost power as well. A little tough to swallow when it is your wife and 3 year old in the car. Has been to the dealer for all three problems and no resolution as well as no registration of problems in the computer. My issue has not been resolved and I pursuing Ohio lemon law of serious injury or death could occur.

I am having occasional stalling problems when maneuvering my Chrysler Pacifica '05 at slow speeds. The car simply stalls, causing me to lose all power steering and braking abilities. I was nearly rear-ended on one occasion. With 2,500 miles on the car, it is now in the shop for the fourth time. The idle air control motor was replaced and that did not correct the problem. I am currently waiting for a new set of fuel pumps (recommended by Chrysler engineering), but after reading many forums on sites like www.ezboard.com and www.edmunds.com, I am less than hopeful of Chrysler finding a solution and will be pursing the lemon law if they can not remedy the problem this last time. I will not drive an unsafe vehicle and Chrysler is not acknowledging the problem at all, despite the many complaints I see online daily.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The caller was the father of the driver. Caller stated this vehicle was part of a fleet. The vehicle quit running during a left hand turn and it went into an electronic lock mode. Dealership looked at vehicle and they were unable to duplicate the problem. This vehicle stalled once. Other vehicles in fleet had the same problem. Quit at highway speed on the interstate. The company did not know that the father of the driver was filing a complaint. When trying to lock the car with the remote it would not lock. When starting the vehicle, the dash board was locked. After about 20-30 minutes the vehicle seemed to reset and worked normally. The vehicle was taken to the dealership and they could not duplicate the problem. The manufacturer suggested they reprogram the vehicle and this problem would not happen again.

I bought a 2005 Chrysler pacific on July 18, and drove it home from the dealer. The next day, with 17 miles on it I drove it to work, a distance of approximately 72 miles. Returning home on the highway, I slowed from 65 mph (using cruise control) to make a left turn onto the turnpike entrance. The car oil light came on and the car cut off or stalled. I had difficulty contollling it to a safe place as the highway I was exiting from (hwy 82 from tahlequah to 412) has no shoulder. Iimmediately tried to restart it but it wouldn't do anything, no clicks, noise, anything. I walked about 1/5 of a mile to a convenience store to call someone. After 15 minutes I returned to the vehicle and it started up. I called the dealer and they told me to bring it in. The next day (today) they called and said they "had found a loose wire near the starter" that must have caused the problem. This sounds completely wrong to me. Why would the car stall and cut off while driving? I have no confidence in the vehicle, but the dealer says they have never heard of the problem.

June 26, 2005, my husband and I purhased a new Chrysler 2005 Pacifica touring with 31 miles on it. June 28, 2005 the engine stalled after making a left hand turn across three lanes of traffice and then a quick right turn into the parking lot of my employer. I called and spoke with the salesman who advised that there is no reason for the vehicle to stall and that if it stalled again to call him and he would make arrangements to have the service department look at it. June 30, 2005 the engine stalled again after turning left across three lanes of traffice and making a quick right into my employer's parking lot. I again called the salesman and he made arrangements for the service department to look at it the next day, July 1, 2005. July 1, 2005 the service department advised that they could not find an error log entry, they could not recreate the problem, they had me drive the car in an attempt to recreate the problem and therefore there was nothing they could do other than to document the problem. My husband and I selected this vehicle for safety reasons -- it has a five star crash worthiness rating, however, now we are extremely concerned about our and our small children's safety. A new vehicle with an unpredictable stalling problem greatly increases the risk of a crash resulting in injuries and/or death of its occupants. This has us very worried!

Driving along rural road at 35 to 40 mph, 2005 Chrysler Pacifica stalled going around a bend. Car was maneuvered to side of road and restarted. Chrysler dealer claims they cannot fix the problem since the problem cannot be reproduced. 2004 Pacificas were recalled with same problem. Several complaints have been filed wtih NHTSA with 2005 Pacificas with the exact same problem. Chrysler Corp. Claims they have never heard of the problem with the 2005 model even though 2 complaints have filed with NHTSA and both complaintants stated that they had been to their Chrysler dealer for service.

Below, please find an excerpt of a copy of a letter send to the dealer and the CEO: "5/31/2005 - to: General manager, lake wylie Chrysler, 800 gold hill rd., fort mill, SC 29715 - re: Chrysler Pacifica "limited? 2005 with currently ~ 6500 miles - VIN # [xxx] dear madam or sir: I have had numerous problems with this car for which I had visited you service department of lake wylie Chrysler and find myself without assistance. The main concern is that the car stalled on me twice and once while my son was driving while I was in the passenger seat. There was no precursor that we can identify, that would have caused this to happen. All three times, it happened when driving slow (10 " 20 mph) in our neighborhood street. All three times at the same spot, which is a sharp left immediately followed by a sharp right. The engine stalled just at the mid point going into the right curve. Power loss for steering and brakes is life endangering, if it were to happen at higher speeds. Even in these circumstances, with our neighbors walking dogs, the loss of those systems may trigger a fatal accident! twice Chrysler checked for error codes and could find none. The first time the service representative said that I should never run the tank down below 1/4, something I think is non-persuasive. Especially after the third time, the tank was full. I do understand the Chrysler dealer?S problem, in that they only go by the reported (and here supposedly missing) error code. However, I am not dreaming and as an engineer myself and having studies physics (in germany), I know that you can only report what you look for. This problem may just evade those sensors. In any case, this problem is serious and needs attention!..."... something I do not get from the dealer. Information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
