2006 Chrysler Pacifica electrical system problems

“ENTERED FREEWAY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND LOST POWER. STARTING EXITING FREEWAY THEN CAR EXCELERATING ON ITS OWN. ENGINE WAS REVING AND HUMMING SO MUCH I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRUAL AND HIT THE BRAKES AS I EXIT THE FREEWAY TO SAFELY PARKED. CALLED TOW TRUCK FOR SERVICE.”

“AS IT WOULD SEEM IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT HAS FAILED AND LEAKS OIL ON AND INTO THE HARNESS PLUG. UPON RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE THIS SEEMS TO BE A VERY COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE AND CAN PRESENT BOTH A COSTLY FIX AND A FIRE HAZARD. WHILE DRIVING THE OIL PRESSURE WARNING INDICATOR LIGHT ILLUMINATED INDICATING AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE'S OIL PRESSURE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE SHOP OT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT HAD FAILED AND WAS LEAKING OIL INTO AND ON THE HARNESS PLUG. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED FOR REPAIR TOMORROW. *TR”

“GAS CAP LIGHT ALWAYS REMAIN ON. MY RPM GAUGE IS JUMPING AN ALL OF MY INDICATOR LIGHTS ARE ON. THESE THINGS HAPPEN UPON STARTING THE VEHICLE. THERE IS A ROUGH IDLE AND I HAVE TO PUSH A PINK BUTTON TO SHIFT HERS. THE GEARS WILL NOT SHIFT. I SEE THAT THERE WAS A RECALL FOR VEHICLES OF MY BRAND BUT MY VIN NUMBER IS NOT ON THE RECALL LIST. WHEN I HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED, I WAS INFORMED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL THAT WILL TAKE CARE OF THE ISSUES THAT I AM HAVING”

ALSO, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED UNINTENDED ACCELERATION AND LURCHED FORWARD. WHILE BRAKING ON WET PAVEMENT, THE ABS MALFUNCTIONED AND CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO SLIDE. ALSO, A BURNING ODOR WAS PRESENT COMING FROM THE AIR VENTS AND THE FUEL CAP INDICATOR REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO TOM AHL CHRYSLER (672 KINGS AVE, LANMOR, OH) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURES COULD NOT BE DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 155,000.”

“TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND SHUT OFF WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE GAUGES ON THE VEHICLE MOVED UP AND DOWN INDEPENDENTLY WHILE THE ENGINE SEIZED. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM ALSO OPERATED INDEPENDENTLY BY DISPLAYING INACCURATE READINGS. THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN).

“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.”
