Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“My ABS light comes on constantly whether I'm pressing the gas or applying the brakes. When I'm driving in town and try to stop, the brakes get real spongy. They start shaking and grinding and I'm not able to stop. I've had to use the emergency brake to avoid accidents. It happens almost daily. The car has under 100,000 miles.”
NHTSA complaint #10851428, filed 2016-03, 83,000 miles“Traveling at 35 - 40 MPH and cars came to a stop and no matter how hard I pushed the brakes, the car would not stop. Steering wheel and under steering wheel airbags deployed, burning my shin. Upon starting the car at the body shop, the dashboard caught on fire due to the airbag modular. Fire destroyed my vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #10734215, filed 2015-07, 88,015 miles“I will hear a chime and look to see why and the ABS light will be on. Then when I hit the brakes sometimes they feel fine other times they feel spongy. I have read where this is a ongoing problem with pacificas. There needs to be a recall and Chrysler needs to pay for the repairs.”
NHTSA complaint #10501357, filed 2013-03, 93,000 miles“2006 Chrysler Pacifica I had my tires rotated the ABS and traction control light came on I looked this information up online and found out that this is happening all the time on the Pacifica and Chrysler will not take responsibility for this problem the charge just to look at the car is 85 dollars then the cost of repair.”
NHTSA complaint #10281858, filed 2009-08, 45,000 miles“Abs warning light has been on for over a year. It comes on within 3 minutes of driving, which disengages my anti-lock brakes. Mechanic advised I get my ABS sensors replaced, but it's both very expensive and was told that it will probably happen again in no time since this is a recurring issue with pacificas. This model must be recalled since the integrity of my braking system is compromised and puts myself and the safety of my family at risk.”
