The first issue occurred in may while driving my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica uphill at about 35 mph. About halfway up the hill my car stalled unexpectedly and locked up. I slammed on the brakes and pulled on the steering wheel (the automatic steering was out) with a lot of force to put my back right tire on the curb to stop sliding down the hill. Then I was able to put the car in park, turn the car off, and restart the car. I pulled into the next available parking lot to recover and try to evaluate my car for what the issue was. The second issue occurred while driving in a residential area, traveling about 30 mph, my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica stalled without any notice. Everything locked up. Thankfully I was in a low traffic area and the cars behind me were following at a safe distance. I was able to pull to the side of the road where I put the car in park, turned the car off, and restarted the car without issue. My concern now is that this issue will continue to happen and may cause an accident. When my car shuts off, there is no indication that it is going to happen.

Had to have my vehicle towed due to my ignition switch. I am glad that I was not driving when this happened! getting this car repair will set me back in my bills and I just got this car 2 years ago!

As I was driving all of a sudden the dashboard and headlights started flickering and the warning icons dinged on. This has continued to occur and the mechanic can not determine the cause of the problem.

My car failed on us as we were on our trip towards brownsville Texas. The electrical in my car started flickering and the motor kept accelerating itself.. then the gas indicator went from showing half tank full to 10 miles to empty.. we were in the deserted part of the checkpoint ranch so we had about 30 miles until a gas station we thought we couldn't possibly just run out of gas, but as we continued 5 minutes later our car electrical just sounded a spark and our car starting shutting off, hard steering to pull on side of road.. but thank god we had no vehicles behind us so that prevented an accident from happening.. we called family member to go help us haul our car to a nearest gas station or mechanic.. something I never want to experience with my children 3 and 1 in my car and the hot summer.. I have searched for my car if it falls in the recall category but it shows nothing.. yet it showed to have similar defects as the ones being recalled.

Sporadically the ABS & brake warning lights come on the dashboard lights come on and the radio cuts out. The main issue is that when all of this happens the headlights also flicker and go out. When driving at night the headlights are very distracting to myself as well as other vehicles on the road. Once I was driving at night and my headlights completely went out for a few seconds. The dealer can't figure out what is causing the issue and there is no specific reason that causes it to happen.

Engine light came on, then the gascap light came on. Was time for inspection and naturally it failed. Immediately took it to repair shop, they checked it over and just replaced the gascap. All lights were off so took it back for inspection. It passed amazingly. Later that day, the gascap light came back on. Drove a number of months with light on knowing it was a new gascap and it needed a smoke test to find the leak. Had alternator replaced and also a new right side fuel pump with the fuel hose from vent on primary to fuel pump vent nipple on other side. They were amazed that I hadn't smelled fuel leaking. Also amazed there was no fire. This is a serious fault and needs to be addressed by Chrysler after reading all the other same problems. Please Chrysler, do the right thing!!

While in reverse in parking lot, car stalled causing loss of braking power and vehicle rolled into another parked vehicle. Since incident, when vehicle is placed into reverse, vehicle immediately stalls. Also, motor mounts have broken and this appears to be a big issue with the Pacificas.

Obtained car brand new in 2006, yr later had to replace engine, was said they gave us a new one, prior to that we had sunroof issue that still persist to this day 6years later... electrical off. One minute you have gas and next minute literally fuel light is on..fast forward a tad 2007 stalling problems, ...fast forward even more 30,000miles later.... stalling allllllllot, especially while I'm driving with my kids. Making a U-turn and just simply parking into a space no go.. gas cap light is on, check engine light on.... currently vehicle is at dealership which was charging us $2,632 to fix problems, besides overcharging ridiculously, Chrysler offered to pay most of bill after doing research and realizing we were getting ripped off, a two day job is now turned into 1week, no vehicle, no loaner.. 6yrs. Later failed emissions test is what prompted me to take it to a dealership...now I cannot pass an emissions test nor register my vehicle @ end month>( today). Would like to trade, however they low balled me & said $4,000.they cannot get car to reset, and still could not find out why it is stalling. After letting dealership know I have an open case seems like they are singing a different tune...still no car/ no fix...

Driving 65mph, was on a bridge. Inside of car went totally black. Had to coast it to railing of bridge as there was no shoulder. Car completely stopped on its own. Saw smoke, waited for clearing in passing traffic. Fire erupted on driver's side under hood. Local fire department said it was the computer and battery. Had I not jumped out I would have been dead. Fired melted hood to grill and had to axed open to completely extinguish fire. There was no previous indication of electrical shortage.

I first noticed my headlights flickering and my battery light came on so I took it to the Chrysler dealership and they claimed to have done many tests and found nothing wrong, I then continued using my Pacifica but only to have the problem not only continue but also to get worse my brake light and ABS lights on my dash started to flicker on and off and then there was chime indicating that there was a problem and I also heard a loud popping noise coming through my stereo but the weird thing is my stereo was off. I since took my Pacifica to another Chrysler dealership and left it with them and again they claim that there is nothing wrong which again costed me more money for nothing. I again took my Pacifica and used it when the problem continued withall the same problems but this time my fuel gauge dropped to empty and my dte distance until empty dropped to zero and my truck shut off as I was merging onto the highway and I nearly got involved into an accident with several vehicles. I am not only concerned about this issue but also for my safety and others on the road. I have agin contacted the dealer and this time I provided a video of the lights and dash lights which included the noise coming through my stereo that I recorder with my iphone they again made an appointment with me to bring my Pacifica back in and they made it clear that I would have to pay for their time once agian until they can find the problem and at which time they said the warranty company would cover the costs. My concern is from what I have been reading in these complaint posts is that they will find nothing and I will walk away with empty pockets...updated 04/18/13

Electrical system failure.. we are experiencing periodic flickering of any electrical equipment that was on (dashboard lights, dome lights, headlights, radio, HVAC) and the intermittent ABS and brake alarms that may follow. We also hear a loud click in the radio speakers. We have taken the car to our local Chrysler dealer. They said they could not diagnose because they cant verify the problem and it doesn't leave any computer codes behind. I know we're not the only ones with this issue. There are blogs all over the website about this Chrysler issue.

Approximately around October 2010, my brake light started to blink on and off. Shortly after that, the ABS light started to do the same thing. When they would flash, they would also "ding" and it would shut off the radio until it was finished flashing and dinging. I have taken this car to numerous shops and has several diagnostics done, and no one can tell me what the problem is. I have been told so many things. By the time I go to get something repaired, I'm informed that nothing is wrong with the parts that I have been informed to replace. I have been told that my alternator over charges, the chip in my key is missed up, my powertrain contrain module needs to be replaced, my motor mounts are loose (which I've already replaced), my battery was bad (which has also been replaced), and I also need to replace my engine wiring harness. This is over $5000 in repairs. The car is now starting to shut off when I'm at a stop light for too long. There has to be a way to find out what is wrong with this vehicle. It is costing me too much money to continue to pay the monthly car not and diagnostic tests. I have contacted Chrysler and they have been no help at all. I seriously think that there should be a recall for this issue. I cannot be the only person suffering with this problem. This is an issue that happens everyday. Because no one can properly diagnose this problem, it's really become excessive. It's an issue that I deal with on a daily basis.

Car has stalled (engine cuts out completely) without any warning and while being driven at least 4 time. Most recent was while merging onto freeway it just stopped, nearly causing fatal accident to my daughter who was driving at the time. Complete shut down of car causes the steering wheel to lock with no means of getting to side of road. You're a sitting duck for a crash. Fortunately, she got the car in park and restarted it. The car is at stevens creek Chrysler dealership (towed there today). I am also in touch with Chrysler corporation regarding this flaw and reparations that are due me from this lemon. The dealerships number is 408 248-1800. They are aware I am pursuing my options with this dangerous car and I really don't want it back even if they tell me they've fixed it. I don't trust this problem as it's rampant and cars are being recalled for this reason. It's a blessing my daughter wasn't killed from what this car did.
