The car has a lot of dangerous problems. For one I had my truck diagnosed and code came back as gas cap. Then it was electric problems after the replacement of the gas cap. Check engine light was still on. So I went for another diagnostic now is coming up power train. Went to 3 to 6 transmission shops and all told me different reasons solenoid, pcm, Tcm, or maybe it's just shot all together is what the last shop told me. That's a $3,000 repair and that's ridiculous after I had all those pieces replaced. My car stills doesn't shift gears as I'm driving I can't really go over 40 or 50 mph because of high rpm's. The car doesn't shift gears and I'm hearing a loud whining noise as I drive. I was on the high way and could get off fast enough because of high rpm's and the car not shifting and also automatically switches from drive to auto-stick on it's on. Pls Help Me
While driving on interstate rt 80 I experienced a loud noise and smoke and flames were coming from the engine. Pulled over and got myself and my granddaughter out of her car seat. The engine continued to burn until the fire dept come.
Have owned a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica for almost 3 years now - bought it used and enjoy most features of this car having waited for a few years to purchase one after having recurring (and costly) repair issues with my previous Chrysler (cirrus.) however, for the past year, I've experienced intermittent stalling issues with my car - while operating/driving and I am now terrified of the what "ifs" since I thought we'd resolved the issue just over a month ago when replacing my EGR valve. This was a huge expense particularly since I've been underemployed for a while now, but then again today while driving with my young daughter the issue happened again!! I too have had my share of being inconvenienced by taking to multiple mechanics and repair shops saying they need to "mimick" the issue in order to find the problem. …
I purchased my 2007 Chrysler Pacifica at a dealer ship in February 2017. I have just had the vehicle for 5 months. The car had everything running and when I say everything running; I mean A/C was working just fine as well as the heater and all windows rolled up and down. I had everything updated on this vehicle. Now 5 months later, I have neighbors on 7/25/2017 at around 2 pm that witnessed my car catching on fire. How? I don't know and I am confused and worried because I had just pulled up to my home with my fiance. Our car caught on fire on 7/25/17 I had to call the fire fighters to come out and put the fire out. This was the most scariest thing I have ever experienced. I am overwhelmed. The fire fighters put the fire out and now I am with no vehicle. I am a single mother of 3 that works a double shift just to make a way in life. …
After putting in gas in the car it will die as if it is not getting gas and when filling up I have to pump slow because it acts like it is not taking the gas. Its died on several occasions while driving without any warning. In traffic goinf through a light it shut off as if it had no gas. The car then will not turn on the key turns over but sputters. Once I pump on the gas after 3 or more attempts it come on. We have replaced the fuel pump and autozone code gave p0461 fuel level sensor a as the problem. This is dangerous as the car just shutting off while driving and unable to start in traffic or just shutting down on the highway. The oil light comes on as well. Theres a noise like a ticking sound I can hear by the gas tank when I shut off the car. …
My daughter brought me this car for my birthday 2007. I have been complaining since 2007 about the ignition. I was told it was the key. I purchase a new key, well the key is not the problem. I have been in the middle of the street and the car would just shout off. I keep replacing batteries after batteries. I finally found out it is the ignition, the way I found out is a certain way I had to turn the key for the car to start. I really learn to love my car but I have so many issues I don't know whether I would advise anymore to purchase one. I have had many issues until I became very dissatisfied with the company. I would appreciate if you take a look at this problem. Thanks the car would just cut off in the middle of the street. Unexplainable.
I have a Chrysler Pacifica that as I've driven it has completely shut off while driving down the highway or road. It completely shut off as I was going through an intersection. I've had it in and out of the repair shop for the last 5 months and I've been given different answers as to what's wrong. None of them have solved the problem. Finally, today I found a mechanic that said it was the TIPM! Unfortunately from what I've read this is a huge problem in chryslers. I'm terrified to drive my car for fear that I'm going to be hurt while driving it. I was almost hit when my car shut off in the middle of an intersection and had kids in my vehicle. This isn't right and it's downright dangerous putting the consumer at such a risk.

I drove 20 miles. Pulled into a parking place, and a fire erupted under my hood. The front end of the car became engulfed in flames, and the fire department had to put the fire out. They sprayed water inside the car's cabin to extinguish the fire in the dash and under the hood. Pone interview update (oct. 5, 2007): I was vacationing with my three children in florida when the car caught fire under the hood and totaled it. The "hot-spot" shown on the hood is half way down on the driver side. An aftermarket dvd player was installed in the passenger cabin but that should not be related to the fire under the hood. Chrysler paid me for the vehicle.
