This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.

2006 Chrysler Pacifica. Consumer requests reimbursement for a fuel pump replacement. The consumer stated prior to the replacement, she was not informed or notified of a recall, until a google search revealed the recall. Also, in February 2013, the catalytic converter was replaced at a cost of $800 and the brake system was replaced at a cost of $500.
We purchased our 2006 Pacifica, certified used, in may '07 with less than 21K miles. Within a few weeks the car started stalling - frequently. The first time it happened, I was exiting the freeway. As I approached the bottom of the ramp, my car stalled and the steering wheel locked. I ended up in the oncoming traffic lanes (it was early; there were no cars at the time). The subsequent stallings would occur anytime I was making a right or left turn or just coming to a stop (at about 3-7mph). The car has been in 7 times for repair (totaling more than 30 days, and has incurred over 300 miles of testing). We have had the idle undershoot reprogrammed, 2 fuel pumps replaced, PCM reprogrammed, a new PCM, once was told it was just "out of gas" - even though it said I had 30 miles to go and fuel light wasn?T on - they put a couple of gallons in my tank, enough to get me to a gas station (now I had 60 miles to go) and car stalled again after filling tank. It's now back with the dealer (6 days now), after having been towed in we couldn't even back out of the driveway without it stalling. It is currently being looked at with the help of Chrysler, but were told they cannot duplicate the problem (even though we were able to duplicate it with their mechanic in the car a few days ago). Frustrating and disturbing. This is a serious issue and just a matter of time before someone has an accident. How many cars can we continue to avoid hitting?
When making a left turn, vehicle shuts off (stalls). Vehicle was completely warmed up and had been driven about 20 miles at the time of stall. This is the second time this vehicle has stalled in the past 2 months. First time vehicle was serviced at the location purchased and unable to identify the problem. This time another call was made to dealer and an appointment scheduled to have the vehicle looked at again, but with the "check engine" light not on, dealer is sure a diagnostic test will show nothing. Phone call to daimler Chrysler to discuss the issue produced no results. Csr indicated that daimler Chrysler is not aware of a stalling issue with these vehicles.
