Entered freeway battery light came on and lost power. Starting exiting freeway then car excelerating on its own. Engine was reving and humming so much I thought the engine would catch on fire. Car would not slow down. I had to put it in neutrual and hit the brakes as I exit the freeway to safely parked. Called tow truck for service.
As it would seem is a very common problem, the oil pressure sending unit has failed and leaks oil on and into the harness plug. Upon researching this issue this seems to be a very common issue with this particular vehicle and can present both a costly fix and a fire hazard. While driving the oil pressure warning indicator light illuminated indicating an issue with the vehicle's oil pressure. Upon taking it to the shop ot was discovered that the oil pressure sending unit had failed and was leaking oil into and on the harness plug. The vehicle is scheduled for repair tomorrow.
Gas cap light always remain on. My RPM gauge is jumping an all of my indicator lights are on. These things happen upon starting the vehicle. There is a rough idle and I have to push a pink button to shift hers. The gears will not shift. I see that there was a recall for vehicles of my brand but my VIN number is not on the recall list. When I had my vehicle checked, I was informed that there was a recall that will take care of the issues that I am having

I can't completely fill my fuel tank. At 1/2 tank it bottoms out to empty. The fuel gauge is completely unreliable.when making a left hand turn when the fuel is low it will stall and sputter. I was lucky enough that the dealer I bought it from changed the fuel pump right after I bought it because I ran out of fuel on a trip to Ohio from Illinois but it didn't fix the issue. I only drive it in town because I'm afraid of running out of fuel. Apparently this is very common with this vehicle and I feel there should be a recall. This issue could cause an accident, someone to be stranded in extreme cold/heat. It's unreliable and a major threat to someone's safety. Chrysler should be ashamed.

I was on freeway doing 60_70 miles per hour when I noticed my car felt like it was not accelerating and gas pedal felt stiff like when car is off. I had my whole family in car and I could of wrecked if I didn't notice in time to put car in neutral and restarted it some how before we got rear ended. I got off freeway somehow and turned car on and off again a few times and it seemed like it was a one time thing. A few miles later it did same thing and I was stalled out in middle of on coming traffic. Cars braked and swerved out of my way to avoid rear ending us. My children were scared cause of this happening out of the blue. I now have no desire to even drive my car with any of my family in it incase this happens again. I contacted Chrysler but they claimed my VIN wasn't part of the F44 recalls but I know it is same issues...I will be taking car to Chrysler first thing in morning to leave them car to find out why my family almost got in accident due to this issue. So in total it stalled out on me 6 times twice on freeway the rest on city streets just to get home....this is a serious issue that could of killed everyone in my vehicle if I didn't react fast enough to avoid that from happening..
While driving my car I turned on my turn signal to turn right onto the highway, and upon accelerating my check engine light beeped and turned on, then as I turned my wheel and tried to accelerate it wouldn't and then my car died. I then had my car towed to my house where it remains until I have it towed to the dealership.
This vehicle had a recall from Chrysler. I was given a claim #[xxx] and when I spoke to Chrysler I was told that our VIN # was not covered due to the fact that they themselves had ended the recalled vehicles 2 weeks before ours was produced. That is absolutely ridiculous as our vehicle suffered the exact same problems as they all did 2 weeks earlier!!! information redacted pursuant to the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).
Reccall F44 (fuel pump module). This recall was for repair/replace of module due to fact that Pacifica cars stall with faulty unit. My car has stalled numerous times. I took to dealer as instructed by recall letter. The dealer said they made repair. My vehicle continues to stall. Dealer would not replace part again. I am stuck with a vehicle I cannot drive because it is unsafe to drive.

First began 11/2013 when headed out after picking up my daughter, slowed to enter left turn lane (on major busy intersection at night!) and entire car simply died - fried the battery (it was only a yr old & the second time I had replaced it since I purchased it two yrs prior from original owner) nearly was hit by several cars before tow truck arrived (so dead couldn't even be shifted into neutral!) after multiple opinions by several mechanics had to face the fact that issue w/rods caused metal pieces to infiltrate oil (all oil changes on time, previous before incident 6 week prior) causing all engine bears to go. Luckily, was able to work out a fairly decent deal to the tune of $1200, only to be faced w/multiple additional needed repairs thereafter and over a year later, I'm still trying to get to the bottom of why engine totally stalls when coming to a complete stop if my A/C is on - check engine light has been on since I purchased it & still won't stay off despite multiple re-sets & computer checks, as is ABS light (again, checked multiple times & since no issue I have left it as is) now battery light also comes on intermittently. All codes come back fine, and hoses & seals all fine.... as of two days ago, seems I'm now looking at engine cradle issue as well! nearly $3000 in (just counting these latest issues!) after replacing battery for a third time & tire replacement (all 4) twice within a year, in addition to breaks & rotors for 2nd time in 2 years...seems to be a common problem w/these vehicles and yet my VIN # isn't included in the recall...shame on you Chrysler....I am a single mother, who has had all regular maintenance and upkeep & cannot afford to continue to throw $ into this issue, and am afraid every time my kids are in the car that the stalling issues will cause a horrible accident!
