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. rapid response transmittal rrt ...

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!

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.

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 ...

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

The engine light came on. the car would not accelerate over 25 mph. it kept feeling as if it was stalling when stopped at light and trying to accelerate. hard to go up inclines. after being parked for 4 hours we noticed the car was smoking. i called the fire department who discovered that the insulation and the engine was smoldering. it is now at excalibur being looked at. i was driving on a city street when this happened. when we discovered the car was smoking, it had been parked for four hours.

Entered the freeway and after reaching speed of approximately 55-60 mph i heard a loud sound that sounded like a small explosion. someone driving in the lane next to me began frantically pointing at the engine of my car. immediately i saw smoke and flames coming from underneath the car's hood. i pulled off the exit that i was approaching, parked the car at the curb, jumped out the car, dialed 911. fire department responded in a couple of minutes and by this time entire engine and hood was on fire.they put the fire out. car was not able to be placed in neutral or any other gear, but was still towed to the dealership that performed repairs to fuel injectors and other components of the engine on february 2, 2016. during feb. 2016 incident the gas pedal would not give power to make the car accelerate, car started smoking and giving off fumes that smelled like burning plastic. car repairs were made in that incident. going to have diagnostic performed to research if there is a connection/relation between february 2016 incident and june 2016 incident.
