2005 Chrysler Pacifica Latches, locks and linkages Problems

“Headlight bulbs keep burning out. At least 6 times since 2007. The first time both lamps were replaced even though only one had gone out, the rest of the times they were replace individually and every time sylvania bulbs were used. I feel this constitutes a safety problem and not normal maintenance. Also the drivers door lock mechanism broke in dec. 2009 where the door would not latch close and had to be tied shut the take it for repair. I feel this is also a serious safety failure.”

“We have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica that has been acting up. The headlamps and interior lamps will flicker like there is a short, and then the ABS and brake lights will come on and chime. The radio will also have a pop noise and turn off. The vehicle has lost power twice now while coming to a stop at a traffic light and in our driveway. Now the door lock actuator is not working properly. With reading all the complaints this vehicle has on the same items, I would think a major recall would need to be made before someone gets seriously hurt, if someone hasn't all ready.”

“2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Rear hatch would not unlock with remote. It was at that time I realized the remote is the only way to open the rear hatch there is no manual handle inside and no key outside. I also have a 2005 dodge neon that cost about a third of the Pacifica that has a electric trunk that you can open with a remote, a key and there is a release handle.”
