While driving at low speed or accelerating from being previously idle, the oil pressure warning light and the traction control indicator will simultaneously light up. upon doing so, the engine will lose all power and shut off. this requires the driver to put the car into neutral or park to start the vehicle again. this problem occurring while driving has the potential to cause an accident at no fault of the driver from this loss of control.
Just bought vehicle and driving on the highway with small children when the car surged and abruptly stalled momentarily on a 60 mph hwy. would only drive in 1at and 2nd gear and had no way to exit off highway. almost caused a car pile up as the vehicle behind me had to stomp on brakes abruptly. mechanics are saying transmission. i haven't even had this for a week. it was extremely unsafe and i was terrified as i had 5 little lives in the vehicle at that time.

When depressing the accelerator, the car makes a grinding or clunking noise . we lifted the hood, put the car in drive and depressed the parking brake. we then applied accelerator and the front of the engine lifted from the motor mount a good 2 or 3 inches. this is extremely dangerous and this actually started doing this shortly after i purchased it in june of 2014. it had 97000 miles and now has 117000 miles. i am fearful of having the engine come completely off the frame. i am taking it to my independent mechanic next week. i cannot believe with all the complaints that this model has that it has not been recalled. i guess since no one has died yet or been seriously injured the manufacturer must feel fairly confident that they will just wait till everyone stops buying them. well, i am selling my car after it is fixed. i have already had to have the shifter replaced because that went out about 3 months ago and my mechanic had to replace it. i think i should be reimbursed for that as well, and you can be sure i am ...
Shortly after starting and driving the car, within a couple of minutes, the car completely stops running with no warning lights. just dies while driving as if the ignition was just turned off. this has happened multiple times causing a significant safety hazard as the power brakes and steering immediately stop working. the car is under an extended manufacturer's bumper-to-bumper warranty so the repair should be covered as it is a clear defect. apparently, because the car just stopped, no codes were recorded as to the nature of the problem. hence, the dealer was unable to identify a problem. the dealer recommended that the cost of a suspected repair be made by the owner because they could not definitely define the problem as necessary to be reimbursed under the warranty. recommended repair was done at owner's cost yet the same thing happened again. an earlier model of this car had a recall to repair a similar if not identical problem.
Upper housing shock underneath the hood rotted off the side wall. other side starting to rot off to
I had my 2007 pacifica in park position with the engine on. i put my foot on the brake to reverse the car out of parking space. the gear shift lever would not release and go into reverse. i had to have the car towed to the dealer to repair. cost me over $500 (part #4880276-ab shifter t21030407). being stuck in traffic is very dangerous.

The reverse clutch burnt out. the car was parked and wouldn't go in reverse. the car is in limp mode. the rpms are ranging high because it can't shift properly. the transmission is about to go out completely. *tr
