2005 Chrysler Pacifica fuel/propulsion system problems

“My engine in my car just shut down in the middle of driving. I was told it was a recall and was fixed yrs ago but it has happened 3 times since. Twice after getting gas and one time driving in the school parking lot. Lost all control of power steering and time of engine trouble. Car started back up and engine light came on and went back of and back on. Also smelt burning wires but couldn’t find anything”

“I DROVE OUT FROM CAR WASH I WAS GOING ABOUT 35MPH THEN I TURNED RIGHT ON TO THE FREEWAY SOON AS I REACHED 50MPH MY VEHICLE MADE A WEIRD NOISE AND SHUT OFF AS IM ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON WHATSOEVER ALTHOUGH I GOT A "GAS CAP" MESSAGE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREE WAY(NO ACCIDENT, THANKFULLY) THE BREAKS WERE HARD TO PUSH DOWN I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LET IT ROLL THROUGH TRAFFIC I GOT TO A SAFE PLACE I PUT IT IN PARK WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO TRY STARTING IT, IT WOULD NOT START. SMOKE CAME OUT FROM BACK PASSENGER REAR TIRE. LET MY CAR SIT OVER NIGHT TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT MORNING, AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED IT INTO SHOP THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM I HAD LEFT MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK OTHER MECHANICS DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. LATER THEY TOLD ME I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. I ONLY GOT TO DRIVE IT 2X BEFORE IT STALLED. I REALLY LIKE IT AND WISH I CAN GET IT FIXED I DO BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE POWER TRAIN, FUEL PROPULSION, AND ENGINE. *TR”

“TAKATA RECALL THE CAR LURCHES FORWARD AND BANGS WHEN STOPPED, ALSO WHILE STOPPED THE CAR REGISTERS 20MPH. WHEN DRIVING SPEED REACHES 60MPH THE CAR HAS POWER SURGES AND SHUTTERS, THE CAR MAKES A LOUD WHINING NOISE WHILE DRIVING LIKE IT IS STUCK IN HIGH GEAR. THE CAR HAS A HIGH RPM SPEED OF 4-6RPMS WHILE DRIVING. THE SERVICE ENGINE LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES.”

“I JUST CAME OUT FROM CAR WASH I TURNED RIGHT ON TO THE FREEWAY SOON AS I REACHED 50MPH MY VEHICLE MADE A WEIRD NOISE AND SHUT OFF. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I HAD TO PULL OFF FREE WAY(NO ACCIDENT, THANKFULLY) GO TO A SAFE PLACE PUT IT IN PARK TRY STARTING IT IT WOULDN'T START. SMOKE CAME OUT FROM BACK PASSENGER REAR TIRE. LET MY CAR SIT OVER NIGHT TRIED TO START IT NEXT MORNING, WOULDN'T START. TOWED IT INTO SHOP THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM BUT LATER THEY TOLD ME I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. I ONLY GOT TO DRIVE IT 2X BEFORE IT STALLED. I REALLY LIKE IT AND WISH I CAN GET IT FIXED”

“WHEN I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY (DRIVING 45 MI/HR), IT STOPPED MOVING ACCELERATING (SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS ACTUALLY SLOWING DOWN) EVEN WHEN I WAS STEPPING ON THE GAS PEDAL. AND THEN THE CAR STALLED.......IT WAS A GOOD THING I WAS ON THE VERY RIGHT SIDE OF THE LANE. THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND/OR THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) SOFTWARE MAY ALLOW THE ENGINE TO STALL UNDER CERTAIN OPERATING CONDITIONS, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH. DEALERS WILL NEED TO REPROGRAM/REPLACE THE PCM/TCM AND/OR REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP MODULE TO CORRECT THIS CONCERN. IN MOST CASES, ASIDE FROM STALLING AND ENGINE REVVING UP AND DOWN ON ITS OWN, THERE'S A LOT OF HARD JERKING WHEN DRIVING THE VEHICLE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE ENGINE HAS A MIND OF ITS OWN SINCE WHEN I ACCELERATE, THE CAR WILL NOT MOVE OR DELAY IN MOVING FORWARD AND IF I LET GO OF THE GAS, THE CAR MOVES FORWARD. IT'S A SAFETY CONCERN.”
