Was Vehicle Towed: - | Description of the Complaints: Bought 2005 chrysler pacifica in july 2006. since that time i have had numerous problems with the vehicle. when the gas gauge is at approximately 1/3 tank of gas it suddenly drops to empty and begins stalling upon turns. i took the vehicle back to the dealership and they did not know what the problem was and asked me to bring the vehicle back when it was at approximately 1/3 tank so they could do testing. i was without my vehicle one whole day for this and did not have time to take it back again. next, i received a recall notice that claimed to fix the stalling problem. yesterday i took my vehicle in to have the recall performed. again, i was without my vehicle all day. today, after the recall, my vehicle is still having the same problems. the gas gauge dropped suddenly to empty and began stalling at this point. there are other problems that may be related. after the car is reading empty and i proceed to put gasoline in the tank it will only allow 13 gallons to be pumped, the owners manual claims that the vehicle has a 23 gallon tank. however, i have never been able to put more than 13 gallons of gas in the tank. also, every now and then when i try to put fuel in the tank, the hose will continually shut off as if the vehicle is full. sometimes this happens the whole time i am filling up and i have to just keep on clicking, clicking, clicking . . . to get the gas to go into the vehicle. these problems have caused our family much distress and the stalling is a very real safety issue. thank you for your help with this. susan ashcraft. *nm |
