I got in the car started it as usual, shifted it in (D), pulled out of my church parking lot, got about 5 miles away from my church stopped at a red light. The light turned green I accelerated as usual. At this light is a slight incline about 15% ways up the incline it just stopped pulling. I pressed the gas heat the engine Rev but no power to the wheels. So I shifted it in auto stick mode and it wouldn-€™t change out of second gear I left it on the highway for about 3 days.I went back trying to reset the trans by turning the switch on and holding the gas pedal for 30sec as seen in Chryslers forum and YouTube yet still no power had the car towed back to Alabama when I go to church in Tennessee which was about 50 miles away or so. Get it home after paying a huge towing bill. Because my insurance only covered like 15miles. I got it home try to shift it in R, D, and The Autostick. however, it finally started going back to 1st gear. Unfortunately it still wouldn-€™t pull. I-€™ve looked up the problem and there is a recall for this, However when I call Chrysler it doesn-€™t cover my vehicle

Year2006 make/modelchrysler Pacifica mileageabout 99,000 driving for 13+ years; had been getting check engine and ABS signs on dashboard now and then for about 6 years; in humid days recurrences were more than in colds. Va inspection, both emission and safety, passed every year, last one being in July 2019, without any issue. Since late July ABS sign ceased to appear any more, and check engine light is appearing steadily. In diagnostics P0700, P0732 and P0720 codes were returned. Now a days, when I come to a stop/red light, on full brake, engine makes a jerk, and speedometer reading jumps from 0 to 20 mph. Also, break pedal experiences a push-back, causing tendency to drive forward. Over 30 mph gas pedal demands more compression, and engine motion roaring also surges, no rattling. What kind of risk I am carrying in driving the vehicle, what are my options, cost for remedy and is it worth to invest in fixing the problem(s)?

My vehicle has extensive cradle rot underneath the carriage which causes the car to shake and has the possibility to have the motor drop out of the car, I was having routine maintence completed on my car when I found this out. I called Chrysler and although hundreds of complaints have been filed no recall has been issued on this matter.
Car is stalling while driving and fuel pump and system have had to be replaced twice! head lights and turning signals are have to be replaced often as well!
Vehicle shuts off unexpectedly, gas gauge suddenly drops to empty, vehicle will suddenly register invalid key fob. Vehicle has suddenly stopped on city street 5 times in pass 3 mos. Researched year, make and model, found there is a recall. Called dealership, they state my VIN number is not included in recall. I feel car is unsafe to drive. Can't afford repair to PCM, nor tcm. Would cost over 1,000 dollars at dealership. Car not repaired as of 7-24-2017
My 2006 Chrysler Pacifica seems to have some very common and related issues to an existing recall. My vehicle experiences all kind of issues related to a faulty fuel pump/tank design and possibly software issues also. My vehicle can be very hard to start. My vehicle can shut off without warning. (no other known issues) my vehicle tends to think the gas cap is bad. Displaying gascap in the odometer area. We experience power loss, stalls, poor fuel economy, fuel capor smell on occasion that could ignite, if for any reason the fuel system is slightly overfilled by even ten cents worth of fuel it can poor fuel onto the ground. This happens on top of the tank. Not at the filler hose. Check engin light code points to evaporative system. My vehicle was manufactured in August 2005. I believe the fuel pump module is bad as well as possibly software. If you do your own research you will find this car is know to have evap system and fuel system issues. Lots of them. One that comes to mind is a connector on the pump or model cracking and allowing fuel /air to escape. I am terrified my car might blow up with my children in it. I can't give exact dates because this happens all of the time. Evap codes return, fuel smells, poor engine performance power loss, if it does shut off while driving it becomes hard to steer. Etc etc
Since I have owned the vehicle (2013) there have been problems with getting the car running again. First while in motion the vehicle would tremor (in the front) before shutting down, particularly if going above 25-30 mph. When the car was shut off by key ignition and turned back on it would start again. Codes for oxygen sensor would come up, had that fixed. Problem began again a few months later. Multiple times while driving on the highway/open road the sensors on the panel all lite up and the car shut down. I had the alternator replaced twice for this issue; thinking that was the problem. Prior to the second alternator rebuild/replacement the fuel gauge would fluctuate after reaching half a tank. Most of the time it would read empty when the tank was half full; or empty when the tank is full. I noticed the gauge would drop if a turn was made or the car hit a bump/pot hole in the city street/highway. I attempted to replicate conditions to get the gauge to go back to normal, this did not always work.occasionally it would wave around while driving. The car began to read code for fuel system issues. Had this tested, fuel system was fine; yet problem consisted. With a half full tank, the car would repeatedly read empty, not allow any additional gas to be put into the tank (would cut off at pump as if tank were full), and shut down while driving in different road conditions as if there were no gas in the car. Right now the gas gauge continues to read empty when there is gas in the tank, I have trouble filling the tank as it cuts off the pump repeatedly not allowing new gas to be put in, the car cuts off often while driving.
