2008 Chrysler Pacifica Fuel system Problems

“Fuel gauge shows inaccurate reading. I filled the tank halfway and after driving for 30 minutes or so the gauge drops to an 1/8 tank while driving. After I shut it off for a few minutes it will go back up sometimes higher sometimes lower. It's happening more frequently. I have small children and would hate for it to leave my wife and children stranded in the middle of nowhere.”

“Gas gauge reads 1/2 full and slowly declines till it hits about 1/3 full then drops to empty. If you don't get gas you will run out in minutes. I took it in and they replaced the sending unit and on the way home it did the same thing. Chrysler needs to help us on this one. I'm stuck with a city car that I need to use on long distances.”

“I have been having power shut down every day, around 5 times a day. I have taken the car to the dealer and other certified mechanics, and the scanner can not diagnose, or detect any code. In my last issue, the car turn off while I was driving it. It was scary, and it is happening very often. I have changed most parts, all sensor has been replaced (replaced by original parts), and it keeps turning off. I have been searching thought the internet, and this particular car has a lot of complaining, a lot of Chrysler Pacifica are having this same issue, while they feel frustrated. …”

“Gas gauge showed 1/3 full & it suddenly dropped to empty. Milesto empty went from 142 to 14, then 6. Upon starting the car the next morning, fuel gauge showed 1/3 full then dropped to empty again. Miles to empty showed 2. I drove 8 miles then added 14 gallons of gas to fill the 23 gallon tank. It has happened at least 5 times since then. One mechanic told me I had to bring it in when it was happening as it was a sensor issue. Another told me the car actually has two gas tanks & the fuel pump vacuum was probably not picking up the fuel from the second tank properly. …”

“Car will not take gas. Gas pump between tanks is not working properly to move the fuel from one side to the other, causing you to run out of gas frequently. It also is causing the mileage/computer/gas gauge to indicate you have a half tank and then immediately drop to e and run out. This seems to be an issue with the mercedes designed fuel tank and should be recalled and replaced with a standard design. When on e your car will not take gas. Initially I was told to idle at the pump for 2-5 minutes...now at 10 minutes, my car will not take gas and takes about 20-30 minutes to try to fill it. …”
