  • miles
The contact owns a 2008 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the vehicle experienced a sudden loss of power while driving 75 mph. The vehicle constantly stalled. In addition, the front driver and passenger side windows failed to go up and down. The contact had to maneuver the electric control panel on the driver side to get the windows to go up. The vehicle overheated several times without warning. The contact had to tow the vehicle more than once due to the failures. The vehicle was taken to repair shops where the motor and ignition housing were replaced. In addition, the vent controls did not function properly for the air conditioner. The contact continued to stall and overheat. The battery was replaced twice by a mechanic, but the failures recurred. The vehicle was towed to a mechanic who replaced the motor, radiator, cooling fan, and another battery. The contact traded in the vehicle. The manufacturer was notified. The failure mileage was not available.

Condensation outside on windshield - necessary to get off highway and stop because could not see - defrost system inadequate - happened 3/4 times in a couple week period. Air flow in auto - when back windows are down there is a tremendous noise (sounds like it will explode your ear drums - thought it was faulty real wheels but told by dealership it is an air-flow fault in the design of auto. Do not know what would happen if windows stay down but wonder if loss of control or airborne materials in auto could result.
