| Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: We purchased a used chrysler pacifica on 1/24/06 in savannah, ga w/approximately 20k miles on it. approximately 1 month later, it stalled while making a u-turn. took to the dealership and was told that it was perhaps a fluke because no message light came on to help determine the issue. it would occasionally feel like it was going to stall or rev itself but it went a few months with some abs wheel sensor issues but no stalling. since july 25th 2006 it has stalled or attempted to stall on numerous occasions. on thursday 8/10/06. it stalled 2 times and attempted to stall many more. the fuel gauge then dropped from @ 1/2 a tank to "e" and the message center said that the tank only had 32 miles to empty. i called the dealership and was told to bring it in asap. i fueled up and it only took 12 gallons to fill up. it was then dropped at the dealership. the dealership kept the car for 5 days and was unable to duplicate the failure. a few days later the same thing happened and the car went back again. the dealership told me to keep the car fueled above 1/2 tank and then bring it in on 8/21/06 with a 1/2 tank or less of fuel. i brought it in at a 1/2 on the mark. once more, the dealership was unable to duplicate the error. they believe they know what the issue is but can't fix it until they can get a computer read or or personally duplicate the error. i got the car back on wednesday 8/23/06 and again on the evening of fri, 8/25/06 the gas gauge plummeted to "e" with plenty of fuel in the tank and attempted to stall. today, 8/27/06 the car stalled twice, once in the middle of a right hand turn and once while making a left hand turn. if i gas up, i don't have a problem until there is less than a solid 1/2 tank of fuel in the car. i need this car and i am scared to death to drive it anywhere without more than a 1/2 tank. i asked to dealership to drain gas if need to be replicate the issue but they are apparently unable to do this. *jb |
