My family and i was at the airport when it just shuts off. will start fine but stalls when put in drive(.reverse works) i had to have my car towed from the airport. my mechanic cannot find the problem.
My 2007 chrysler pacifica 4.0 has always ran pretty great, rides smooth. this particular day it jerked and reved to 3000 rpms when i put my vehicle into reverse, i then switched my gear into drive and the truck jerked again then started smoking on the drivers side of the engine. by the time i could park the engine caught fire and spread quickly. i grabbed what things i could before the fire department got there. they had to pry my hood open because it melted the latch to open it and they continuously soaked the whole engine for about 5-7 minutes. fire seemed to originate around the battery compartment area.
Vehicle randomly shuts off while driving without warning of any kind. it's happened 5 times in the last month, it is usually "chilly" out (40f or lower) but we just got the vehicle a month ago so hasn't been warm yet. 2 of the times were while driving on a city street and 3 just leaving our driveway.
Random stalling w/ all functions stopping. brakes, steering..ect. took it to several licensed/certified mechanics and not 1 of them can tell me what is wrong. this has nearly caused 2 serious crashes so i no longer allow anyone to ride in the car with me. the stalling has happened on the highway going nearly 70mph, on a 2 lane highway through town with heavy traffic going approx. 35 mph, its happened in my neighborhood street, on the way home from work on a country road (several times). the vehicle hasn't ever stalled while running and stationary. for me this has only happened while in motion
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.
Engine will shut off but will restart
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 2pm 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. i am very disappointed in this experience and fear for my life from here on out. i am scared to drive or get in any car because mind you my car had ...

My car stops running shortly after driving within a few minutes with zero warning. when this happens the power steering and breaks stop functioning. i have been able to successfully been able to restart the car and continue to my destination. this creates a defiant safety hazard and has happened randomly on multiple occasions. the stalling started at the time when the check engine light and 'gascap' warning message came on - permanently. the mechanics have been unable to fine the problem and there are no computer code readings. has there been a recall for this problem from chrysler?
Stalls while driving, losing steering, braking, lights. too many close calls while driving. have replaced, egr valve along with couple of other sensors and continue to have issue with it growing in severity and occurrences. *tr

The suv shuts of while moving. while we are driving (in motion) the suv will completely shut off and we have to restart it by placing it in neutral and turning the key. we have reported it to chrysler 3 times and we have spent $900 to fix the problem but it just happened again 2 days after we picked it up from the dealership. all repairs for this suv were done by the dealership over the life of the suv. we were told that the suv has not duplicated the problem while in the dealership while being repaired and they have said that the vehicle was driven over 100 miles by them without shutting off. if this is true, why did it shut off while my family was driving it 2 days after we picked it up. they are not telling the truth. we do not want to take the car back to the dealership for a 4th time for this problem until we find out what can be done. the truck is in great shape besides this problem that is extremely dangerous and scary when it happens. this is ...
