I PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE DUE TO REPORTS STATING HOW SAFE IT IS. FIRST PROBLEM WILL JUST STOP RUNNING. THERE WERE NO WARNINGS OR ANYTHING. IT HAS DONE THIS ON 8 TIMES THE FIRST BEING TWO MONTHS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE. THE DASH BOARD WILL JUST NOT TURN ON AND THE FOG LIGHT INDICATOR NO LONGER COMES ON. THE DEALERSHIP REPLACE SOMETHING FOR A RECALL DEALING WITH THE GAS TANK AND NOT MY GAS LIGHT CONTINUOUSLY FLASHES ON EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PLENTY OF GAS.

ON THE WAY HOME THE OTHER NIGHT, SOMETHING ON ROAD PUT A HOLE IN MY GAS TANK OF MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. GETTING IT REPLACED IS ABOUT A $750 JOB. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT WE HIT SO MUST HAVE NOT BEEN SOMETHING LARGE, AND WE DID NOT GO OVER ANY RAILROAD TRACKS EITHER. FROM RESEARCH ON THE INTERNET, I FEEL THIS FALLS UNDER THE CATEGORY THAT IS BEING INVESTIGATED RIGHT NOW FOR CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S WHERE ROAD DEBRIS IS PUTTING HOLES IN THE GAS TANK. NOT ONLY DO I HAVE TO REPLACE THE GAS TANK, I LOST OVER 21 GALLONS OF GAS TOO. *NM

THE DEALER REPLACED THE FUEL MODULE AND REPROGRAMMED THE ENGINE, WHICH CORRECTED THE PROBLEM FOR A WHILE. THE VEHICLE STALLING ALSO OCCURRED WHILE CRUISING. THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED PRIOR TO THE STALLINGS. DURING ONE INCIDENT, THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY STALLED ON THE HIGHWAY TRAVELING 65 MPH. THE ENGINE WOULD NOT RESTART NOR WOULD THE TRANSMISSION REENGAGED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALERS WHO DETERMINED THAT THER…
