Driving at 70 mph, my Pacifica just shut off. Had no control, had nothing. Managed to pull over to the side of the road. When called into the beaver county Chrysler dealership I was told, "we just sell them, we don't make them." His vehicle has been one issue after another. The sliding doors not closing, the dvd player not working, the radio not working, the sliding door on driver's side still not working and they had to completely replace the gas tank because I couldn't even put gas in the tank it would shut off and wouldn't let gas get into the tank. Now this. We were scared for our lives and then told, "we just sell them we don't build them." This is not a safe vehicle.... consumer stated problem was solved. Updated 12/19/18

Pacifica 6-cyl

Since 11/2017, have had ongoing issue with sensation of a very hard shift occurring when accelerating especially if I have been driving in heavy traffic for some time. This has been on both highways and on local streets. Sensation is so hard, it feels like vehicle has been rear ended. This has occurred both before and after recall work was done. Have requested evaluation twice at dealer and each time nothing able to be found as cause. The event does not occur all of the time so service techs most likely did not experience it. Starting the week of 4/30, van has started to be slow in acceleration when pulling away from red lights, intersections and merging onto highways. Feel van is becoming increasingly unsafe to drive. Also had check engine light come on and found to be fuel pressure sensor. When first replaced at dealer, fuel pressure sensor worked for a few days and then van would not start and approx. 1/4 tank of gas lost on parking lot surface. Required towing and when checked O-ring had crimped and burst on new sensor.
