The contact owns a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated when driving the vehicle at various speeds, the accelerator would intermittently become frozen and the contact was unable to engage the accelerator pedal. When the failure would occur, the contact would move the vehicle off the roadway, shut the vehicle off and restart the engine and depress the accelerator pedal with extreme force until it would engage. The manufacturer advised having the dealer diagnose and repair the vehicle at the contact's expense. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing or repairs. The failure mileage was approximately 50,000 and the current mileage was 115,336.

Pacifica 6-cyl

  • 78,000 miles
I have recently made a complaint to Chrysler about a 2004 Pacifica that I bought about 4mos ago. I know that my car may be out of "dealer warranties", but when there are things going on with your vehicle that's under recall, something should be done about before someone is injured or even killed. My gas pedal sticks, my car has stalled off on several occasions while turning in the middle of an intersection, and my fuel system was not holding or distributing fuel properly and my motor mounts are broken! I can't afford to pay for my car monthly, and pay for repairs that are almost going on with all 2004 Pacificas'. I park my car only to use one vehicle that 2 adults and A17 and18yr have to travel with when 3 of the 4 of these persons work. Life is hard and its not fair that the "big companies" continue to get away with it and the hard working person is falling deeper and deeper into a do it the best way you can situation. Problems with the fuel system have supposedly been fixed and they are included in a recall that doesn't include my VIN but my make and model and year! come on America!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

At any given time when pressing on the accelerator, the accelerator locks up and does not depress. After several attempts it releases and lurches forward. This has been going on for at least 6 months now. It happens about 4 or 5 times per week. No repairs done to date. Vehicle should be recalled for this defect.
