2017 Chrysler Pacifica 4dr Minivan, ext.

| 7000 mi | The shift (knob) module failed. It began with the vehicle not shifting out of park. Ignition was on, foot on brake, the knob turned, but the indicator stayed on "P" and just blinked. Took it to the dealership, they said we don't know, good luck. A couple of days later it left my wife and kids stranded in a parking lot after dark- the knob was locked and wouldn't turn at all. After 7 or 8 ignition cycles it finally worked. Took it to the dealership, they replaced the shifter knob module, and haven't had any more issues since then. |

| 149000 mi US $2500 |
noise occurred at highway speed, followed by a smell of smoke and loss of pulling power. Complete drive train replaced except the rear end and transmission. After the shop tried to repair the problem 3 times, they said they could not find anything wrong but the symptoms would reappear after driving at highway speeds. Repair not successful. My local Chrysler dealer stated they did not carry repair manuals for a car that is 13 years old. That comment did not set well with me because the vehicle other wise works beautifully. I have heard comments from salvage yards that the car IS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. As if to say, it is not worth fixing. I would like to hear from a Chrysler tech that this is true. Any help would be appreciated. |
