I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in Michigan in 2006 and imported into Canada. The vehicle has 31,000 miles on it and the engine is burning oil rapidly. I noticed a noise coming from the engine and found the oil level to virtually not appear on the dipstick. The check oil light never came on. This could have led to the failure of my motor while I was driving. I have also had a cylinder misfire and spark plugs replaced due to this.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica stalled 6 times while turning left. I took the car to the dearship 5 times. Dealership says can not find anything wrong, but can find that the computer did reboot. Meaning that the car did stall, he said. I have three small children under the age of 6. I have a great fear for the safty of my family. This car is not safe to drive. Something must be done. I feel stuck. Please can some one help.

We purchased our 2005 Chrysler Pacifica on June 24, 2005: 10 stalling episodes to date. 1st & 2nd stalling events occurred within 6 weeks of purchase; both involving slow-speed left-hand turns. Car completely stalled - no ability to steer. Once in park, pac able to start. Took car back to dealer where, after 1 day's worth of investigation, technicians said they could not replicate problem & since no diagnostic codes appeared, there was nothing to fix. I googled "Chrysler Pacifica stalls" & found 100S of similar complaints for both 2004 & 2005 models. I printed examples & headed to dealer. After confronting technicians with the complaints they admitted they had seen several other pacs for the same stalling problem. In fact, technicians had replaced iac motor on other pacs they had serviced for stalling problem - same remedy suggested in googled complaints but not offered to me. Dealership replaced iac motor for free. Due to general concern about apparent dangerous nature of all pacs & outrage over deceptive service at dealer, I complained to Chrysler Corp. Got a feeble corporate response about "my dissatisfaction with my service needs." Chrysler never even mentioned stalling problem. Iac fix seemed to work until 1.5 months ago when pac stalled again. I decided it was time to respond to the recall involving the PCM reprogramming & headed back to dealer. 3 weeks after PCM fix, car is stalling every time I slow down, whether turning or not. Pac is currently at dealer. Technicians refuse to deal with this as a mechanical problem with pac model - obviously given no direction from Chrysler Corp to do so. Dealer says we are responsible for paying for anything they do to fix problem - totally absurd since nothing they have done to date has fixed problem. Bottom line: Pac models are experiencing systematic engine failures=totally unsafe cars. Hope NHTSA investigates problem & forces Chrysler to offer customers real solutions to potentially fatal flaw.

Check engine light at approximately 40,000 miles. The check light has come on the vehicle indicating cylinder three misfired. I have taken vehicle to the shop the first time and had the coil replaced. The same light came on with the same warning. This time the spark plugs were replaced, the injections cleaned out, the throttle body cleaned out. I just got it back yesterday and I feel confident that I will have the same thing over the next few days. When this happens, the vehicle idles rough and the car has no power. This vehicle has been maintained higher than the standards call for in the manual. Looks like Chrysler is good for about 40,000 miles, then be prepared to spend some money. I plan to trade the vehicle for a Toyota, though I had supported american made vehicles in the past, with a product like this, you can't afford to. The total cost thus far has been $600. It appears that chrsyler knows the problem exists because of the bulletins, yet they will not recall the car, and do what is right for the consumers. People can't afford to pay for a vehicle and repair it at the same time with so few miles. The Pacifica is a great riding car, and I otherwise thoroughly enjoyed it.

There is a significant popping and clicking sound when accelerating and stopping. Also happens when moving the gear shift. Car surges forward when popping sound happens. Took to dealer and they said I had to live with it as it is a problem with the car they can not fix. So need to now what to do. Also engine stalls. This has happened twice. The first time I was at a crawl in traffic, but at an incline onto a bridge. I had my foot on the brake and then put it on the gas petal to accelerate and the car died. Lights and dash board are lit but car is shut off. Car restarted with no problem. Second time, I was parking in a spot that was again at an incline. I put the car in reverse, took my foot off the brake and stepped on the gas petal to begin driving in reverse, car died. Both times I had approximately 3/4 of a tank of gas. Also the shop don't want to give you a rental or loner car while the repairs are done.

We have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. That keeps cutting off. The first time it happen I thought well maybe it was something I did. The second time was when I was turning onto a 2 lane road come home late. The car just turned completely off. No warning at all. Thankfully the car swerved and missed me and my kids. I then took it toallen samuel's alliance. I told them what was happening and also told them my left light keeps having a short in it. And at times cuts off. The dealer called me back and advised that the light had a defect to it and that for the engine failure it was due to my throttle needing to be cleaned. That was not covered under warranty and had to pay $300 to get that cleaned. I then was called back several hours later and was told that the throttle had been clean but it they test drove it and it seemed like something else was going on. They asked if I would let them keep it until the morning so that they can have there tech look at it again in the morning. I said okay although at this point it was going on the 4th day with out having a replacement vehicle. I was called the next day and was told it was the rear motor mount that need to be replaced. And that was covered however I need to pay my deductible. We went ahead and had them fix the problem. This was at the end of July. It is now September and my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica is in the shop again.because as I was driving it staled on me again... took it back to the shop and on my way there it staled again. All of sudden my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica stared making this loud noise when I would accelerated and or turn left........ when we got to the dealer they advise again that now another motor mount has broke... my car has been there a week. And I have not received a loaner car because the warranty company is saying that they will not replace it my 2005 Chrysler only has 39,926....and the dealership is saying that they will help us out with payment plans the repair is 1,100.

About a month and a half ago, my Chrysler Pacifica 2005 started to have a couple of probably related problems, one of which can be dangerous. The car will stall when turning left. If a car is coming up behind me, I could get rear ended. The other problem is that my fuel gauge will show a half tank one minute and almost empty the next. When I have filled up, it would only take 15 gallons, meaning that there are still 8 gallons left. I have an appointment in one week with my local dealer and hope that they can fix this, as it is potentially dangerous.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica stalled for the 4th time since lease purchase (August 2006). I drove ~25 miles to work and the car stalled while making a left turn into my work parking lot. The only warning light that came on was the oil light. After a minute of sitting, the car was able to be restarted. The dealership stated no fault registered on the car's computer, and tried to recreate the stall but were unable to. No repair was made. On 20 Aug 2006 the same incident occurred: Car stalled while making a left turn into work parking lot. Same dealership had looked at car and made the following repairs: Replaced idle air control and reprogrammed PCM. On two previous occasions (don't have the paperwork, but will request receipt copy) the car had stalled after driving home from work and picking up child from daycare, when making an attempt to exit subdivision (a left turn, which should have been followed by a right turn, but the car stalled before the right turn). I took the car to a different dealership at the time, but they found no fault on the computer and only attempted to recreate the stall. Unable to do so, no repair was made.

Really was happy with my Pacifica but now I am afraid to drive it! managed to get through the whole left turn and the car stalls. But now driving down a straight road the whole passenger side window collapsed into the door for not apparent reason. It was on the side my daughter was buckled into her car seat and needless to say scared her to death as rain was soaking her!

: the contact stated while driving at various speeds the vehicle stalled without warning. The dealer replaced the idler control motor but the problem persists. When the gas gauge reads a half tank, the needle would drop. The dealer replaced the sending unit, fuel level module.
