| 2005 | ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE | I BEGAN HAVING A PROBLEM ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO WITH MY ABS LIGHT COMING ON. IT WOULD COME ON AND TURN OFF RANDOMLY. RECENTLY THE LIGHT CAME ON PERMANENTLY AND MY BRAKES BEGAN GRINDING. WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND WERE TOLD THAT THE ABS SENSOR IS BAD. NOT ONLY THAT, BUT THE MOTOR MOUNTS CRACKED AND MUST BE REPLACED. MY VEHICLE IS ONLY 3 YEARS OLD, AND HAS 47000 MILES ON IT. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH, I HAVE FOUND THAT BOTH OF THESE ISSUES ARE A COMMON PROBLEM ON THIS MAKE AND MODEL VEHICLE. THE DEALER THAT WE PURCHASED IT FROM ADMITTED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, BUT I WAS NOT ABLE TO FIND ANY RECALL INFORMATION REGARDING EITHER PROBLEM. I FEEL THAT BOTH PROBLEMS ARE DANGEROUS, SINCE THE BRAKES DID NOT WORK PROPERLY IN MY SITUATION. IF CRACKED MOTOR MOUNTS ARE NOT TAKEN CARE OF, THEY COULD POSSIBLY CAUSE ADDITIONAL DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE COMPONENTS. I THINK THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THESE PROBLEMS AT THEIR COST. I'VE SEEN MANY OTHER PEOPLE COMPLAINING THAT EVEN AFTER THEY'VE "FIXED" THE PROBLEM, THEY CONTINUE TO HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK BOTH OF THESE ITEMS SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR RECALL. *TR |
| 2006 | EXTERIOR LIGHTING | TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD NOT ACCELERATE PROPERLY WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER AND THEY REPLACED THE SENSORS. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS USING EXCESSIVE FUEL AT LOW MILEAGES AND SHE SMELLED A STRONG ODOR OF GASOLINE COMING FROM THE VEHICLE. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER AND THEY STATED THAT THE WIRES IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM WERE DAMAGED. THE REPAIR WOULD COST $3,000; HOWEVER, THE DEALER COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE PERTAINING TO THE FUEL SYSTEM. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. WEEKS LATER, THE DRIVER SIDE HEAD LAMP FAILED, REDUCING ALL VISIBILITY. SEVERAL MONTHS LATER, THE VEHICLE WOULD VIBRATE ABNORMALLY AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE DEALER. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED ANOTHER SENSOR. DAYS LATER, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WOULD BECOME STUCK IN A FIXATED POSITION, BUT THE DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. LASTLY, WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 5 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT ANY WARNING. SHE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER, BUT THEY COULD NOT DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. SHE IS IN THE PROCESS OF NOTIFYING THE MANUFACTURER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 200 AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 32,000. |
