“I have a 2005 chyrsler Pacifica. The gas pedal is sticking. It sticks hard enough that you have to forcefully push the accelerator peddle down. This causes unwanted rapid acceleration! The problem is getting worse in the past three weeks. The pedal has gotten stuck four times. I was backing out of a parking space and the car accelerated in reverse. Unsure, if my family car is safe, for my family.”
NHTSA complaint #10378545, filed 2011-01, 70,000 miles“Accelerator stuck open when braking traveling ~ 10mph. This happened 3 different times within 9 months span. I had to put the gear in neutral and turn off the engine. Chrysler dealer in lithia, or examined my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica and was unable to reproduce the problem and did nothing to correct it.”
NHTSA complaint #10331971, filed 2010-05, 75,000 miles“I had been having issues with my vehicle sputtering while driving on and off for a few months. I had a tune- up done which worked for a few weeks until it started up again. I was driving my children to school when the car started to jerk front and back and the engine would alternate between reving up and sputtering like it was going to die out. I managed to drop my kids of at school and get back home. My husband took the car in and they service guy said that it would cost around $5000.00 to repair. …”
NHTSA complaint #10747579, filed 2015-08, 130,000 miles“I just took my 2005 Chrysler pacific in due to the gas pedal sticking. The gas pedal would stick and I would have to press on it hard in order for it to work. This would happen almost everytime I started up my car. The service person stated that there was some type build up due to wear and tear on the vehicle. I only have 42,000 miles on my car. I paid for the repair (approx $190) because my warranty didn't cover the problem. I can't believe that at 42,000 this would happen.”
NHTSA complaint #10332749, filed 2010-05, 43,427 miles“My 2005 Pacifica has a gas pedal that sticks. Sometimes you must push it super hard causing a jerking of the car. Also, the ABS light comes on after 3 or 4 min. I will feel a hard brake pedal [like their not working] before this happens.”
