| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: My pacifica 2004 model engine just stalled when i turned into my company's parking lot. then, i could no longer steer and lost control of my steering wheel. my friends at work drove right behind me and just passed by almost hitting me like a "sandwich." then, i checked to see if there was enough fuel in the tank; i saw about 3/4 left on the fuel gauge. so, i re-started the engine and parked my car safely in the assigned lot. i noticed for the first time, the fuel gauge went from 3/4 level to the "full tank" level and stayed there the entire time. when i did re-start the engine, after 8 hours just to go home, i noticed the fuel gauge was still full. it was very funny and started to drop down to 3/4 again!! right after that, i took my foot off the gas pedal to let the engine warm up, as i always do, my engine could not hold its rpm to keep running and kept stalling again repeatedly. how did i go home that night? i re-started the engine and tried to hold on the gas pedal for about 50-65 seconds by watching the clock in my car, then i heard a clicking sound from inside of the engine compartment, e.g. air-condition working, or idle timing, or something. but, i still kept my foot on the gas pedal until 100-110 seconds and took my foot of the gas pedal. the engine did not stall anymore, so, i luckily could drive home in the night. when i arrived at home, i stopped the engine and re-started again, many times. the engine was perfectly normal as i had been driving them for 2.5 years, like nothing ever had happened. so, i did some investigating and visited several car websites. some of them suggested i file a complaint to nhtsa for this problem because other pacifica owners had similar problems. and, i just did because this problem is very detrimental serious and can easily cause serious damages to life and property of anyone inside the vehicles. *jb |
