The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving approximately 35 mph the temperature gauge increased dramatically. And then the vehicle began to overheat. She pulled over to the side of the road, and the vehicle was towed to an authorized dealer for diagnostic testing. The temperature gauge and head gasket were replaced. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer on three separate occasions for the replacement of the temperature gauges. The failure mileage was 34,000. The current mileages was 60,000.
The contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the vehicle loses power while driving between 15 to 60 mph. The failure has occurred seven times since the vehicle was purchased. Right after the failure, the low oil pressure indicator illuminated on the instrument panel. The driver experienced limited ability to steer and stop the vehicle during the failure. The vehicle is able to be immediately restarted after the failure. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for repair on four occasions. On the first occasion, the dealer stated that they could not duplicate the failure; however, they updated the software. On the second occasion, the dealer duplicated the failure and replaced the throttle body. On the third occasion, the emissions indicator illuminated and an erroneous evaporation code appeared. The computer was reset at that time. On the fourth visit to the dealer, three loose electrical grounds were found and tightened; however, the failure continued. The previous owner also experienced the failures, but the manufacturer was unable to determine the cause. The failure mileage was 21,150 and current mileage was 23,250.

2007 Chrysler Pacifica had loose motor mounts causing transmission problems. Service manager said vehicle could be driven until new motor mounts could be found to make repair. Riving vehicle out of town the motor mount snapped and the engine vibration caused the radiator hose to break and immediate total loss of engine coolant. Vehicle had to be towed to nearest Chrysler dealer and is now awaiting for this dealer to locate new motor mounts. Had I been in a remote location a emergency would have existed. Chrysler needs to recall this vehicle and inspect all motor mounts.
