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
Takata recall in the cars milage indicator I received a message reading gas cap along with a check engine light then I noticed my fuel range and gauge would read 200 miles to empty at 1/2 a tank of fuel to 23 miles to empty with the gauge being in the red, when I was driving to town... we just had both fuel pumps replaced because the upper fuel pump wouldn't pump the fuel over to the lower fuel tank this car only has 100,000 miles on it and we've already dropped $900 to have this problem fixed only to have another problem occur... when I decided to research, I found that this seems to be a common problem with this make, model, and year...can someone please look into this....
I am having a problem with the fuel gauge. The fuel gauge will read full and when the fuel gauge gets to half a tank the gauge drops to empty. Also while filling the tank the nozzle from the gas pumps will always cut off, it will pump a few dollars and then stop and you have to pump the fuel in very slow. I have changed the fuel pump in the tank three times and the gas tank twice. Nothing works this has been a problem now for about two years. I have been stranded on the road due to the fuel gauge dropping to empty and it is very scary.
Secondary pump needs to be replaced: The check engine light was on. The vehicle has under 55,000 miles and failed emissions test with the following codes: P0457, P0455, P0456. An evap system smoke test was performed and found a leaking secondary unit. Needs secondary pump replaced.

The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the fuel tank gauge would not indicate the fuel level properly causing the vehicle to stall even though the fuel tank was full. The vape leak and engine warning lights illuminated. The dealer was not made aware of the failure. An independent mechanic diagnosed and repaired the valve, solenoid and a new fuel cap however the failure reoccurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 195,000.
Car engine sometimes shuts off when doing left hand turns, the engine looses complete power when this happens. I have to shift the car into park to turn it back on. There are evap codes on but the check engine does not turn on for these codes, smell of un-burnt fuel sometimes makes it in the cabin. Thankfully the stall has not happened with cars coming towards me. The gas cap warning on continuously even though I have purchased many new oem gas caps. This may be related to: NHTSA campaign number: 04V113000, 06V432000, NHTSA action number: EA06013, I informed Chrysler but they said my VIN is not in the current recalls and was referred to contact NHTSA. My Pacifica has also developed a ticking noise that has reduced the gas mileage and engine power which I believe this to be part of an internal recall which again Chrysler says my vehicle is not part of even though my VIN matches the specifications below: Customer satisfaction notification F35 engine connecting rod bearing debris effective immediately, all repairs on involved vehicles are to be performed according to this notification.

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.
The contact owns a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact noticed an abnormal fuel odor inside the vehicle. The odor was making the contact ill and it was very difficult to concentrate while driving. The contact stated that if the fuel tank went down to a half a tank, the fuel gauge automatically displayed empty. Also, the check engine indicator illuminated often. The vehicle was taken to a local mechanic and repaired, but the failure recurred. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was 181,000.

Car is stalling while driving and fuel pump and system have had to be replaced twice! head lights and turning signals are have to be replaced often as well!
Vehicle shuts off unexpectedly, gas gauge suddenly drops to empty, vehicle will suddenly register invalid key fob. Vehicle has suddenly stopped on city street 5 times in pass 3 mos. Researched year, make and model, found there is a recall. Called dealership, they state my VIN number is not included in recall. I feel car is unsafe to drive. Can't afford repair to PCM, nor tcm. Would cost over 1,000 dollars at dealership. Car not repaired as of 7-24-2017
My 2006 Chrysler Pacifica seems to have some very common and related issues to an existing recall. My vehicle experiences all kind of issues related to a faulty fuel pump/tank design and possibly software issues also. My vehicle can be very hard to start. My vehicle can shut off without warning. (no other known issues) my vehicle tends to think the gas cap is bad. Displaying gascap in the odometer area. We experience power loss, stalls, poor fuel economy, fuel capor smell on occasion that could ignite, if for any reason the fuel system is slightly overfilled by even ten cents worth of fuel it can poor fuel onto the ground. This happens on top of the tank. Not at the filler hose. Check engin light code points to evaporative system. My vehicle was manufactured in August 2005. I believe the fuel pump module is bad as well as possibly software. If you do your own research you will find this car is know to have evap system and fuel system issues. Lots of them. One that comes to mind is a connector on the pump or model cracking and allowing fuel /air to escape. I am terrified my car might blow up with my children in it. I can't give exact dates because this happens all of the time. Evap codes return, fuel smells, poor engine performance power loss, if it does shut off while driving it becomes hard to steer. Etc etc
Since I have owned the vehicle (2013) there have been problems with getting the car running again. First while in motion the vehicle would tremor (in the front) before shutting down, particularly if going above 25-30 mph. When the car was shut off by key ignition and turned back on it would start again. Codes for oxygen sensor would come up, had that fixed. Problem began again a few months later. Multiple times while driving on the highway/open road the sensors on the panel all lite up and the car shut down. I had the alternator replaced twice for this issue; thinking that was the problem. Prior to the second alternator rebuild/replacement the fuel gauge would fluctuate after reaching half a tank. Most of the time it would read empty when the tank was half full; or empty when the tank is full. I noticed the gauge would drop if a turn was made or the car hit a bump/pot hole in the city street/highway. I attempted to replicate conditions to get the gauge to go back to normal, this did not always work.occasionally it would wave around while driving. The car began to read code for fuel system issues. Had this tested, fuel system was fine; yet problem consisted. With a half full tank, the car would repeatedly read empty, not allow any additional gas to be put into the tank (would cut off at pump as if tank were full), and shut down while driving in different road conditions as if there were no gas in the car. Right now the gas gauge continues to read empty when there is gas in the tank, I have trouble filling the tank as it cuts off the pump repeatedly not allowing new gas to be put in, the car cuts off often while driving.
Takes forever for me to pump gas in to the vehicle it can say it's empty and I will put 15 dollars of gas in it and it will register full and when it gets to a half a tank it will drop to empty as soon as it hits that point. Please fix this recall

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.
