THE CAR SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING. I TURN THE IGNITION OFF AND IT CRANKS BACK UP. IT DOES THIS ALMOST EVERY OTHER DAY. NO CODES COME ON THE WARNING LIGHTS DO NOT COME ON THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. I KNOW THIS IS AN OLDER CAR AND I JUST BOUGHT IT BUT THIS IS A HAZARD CAN CAUSE AN ACCIDENT AND POTENTIALLY KILL SOMEONE. AFTER LOOKING ONLINE THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS EVEN THE NEW MODELS AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND STAND WHY THERE HASN'T BEEN A RECALL TO FIX THIS ISSUE.

IT WAS DETERMINED BY THE DEALER THE TIPM(CONTROL MODULE) FAILED. LUCKILY WE WERE NOT DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR FAR FROM HOME. ORDUS CHRYSLER INFORMED ME THAT WHEN THE TIMP GOES BAD THE VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF AND NOT TURN BACK UNLESS TAKEN TO A DEALER.

I HAVE A CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT AS I'VE DRIVEN IT HAS COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY OR ROAD. IT COMPLETELY SHUT OFF AS I WAS GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. I'VE HAD IT IN AND OUT OF THE REPAIR SHOP FOR THE LAST 5 MONTHS AND I'VE BEEN GIVEN DIFFERENT ANSWERS AS TO WHAT'S WRONG. NONE OF THEM HAVE SOLVED THE PROBLEM. FINALLY, TODAY I FOUND A MECHANIC THAT SAID IT WAS THE TIPM! UNFORTUNATELY FROM WHAT I'VE READ THIS IS A HUGE PROBLEM IN CHRYSLERS. I'M TERRIFIED TO DRIVE MY CAR FOR FEAR THAT I'M GOING TO BE HURT WHILE DRIVING IT. I WAS ALMOST HIT WHEN MY CAR SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION AND HAD KIDS IN MY VEHICLE. THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND IT'S DOWNRIGHT DANGEROUS PUTTING THE CONSUMER AT SUCH A RISK. *TR

TAKATA RECALL. MY HUSBAND WAS DRIVING IT ON FRIDAY AND MADE A NOISE, THOUGHT IT WAS TIRE BROUGHT TO TIRE PLACE AND THEY STATED THAT THE TRANSFER CASE HAS CRACKS IN IT. WE HAD THE TRANSFER CASE GO BAD IN NOVEMBER 2015 AND REPLACED IT WITH A COST OF OVER $2,000.00. NOW THE TRANSFER CASE CRACKED AND CHRYSLER IS SAYING THAT IT HAS A 3YR 100,000 WARRANTY ON IT AND WE TOOK IT TO A DEALER UNDER THEIR INSTRUCTIONS, AND THE DEALER CALLED AND SAID THAT IT IS NOT COVERED BECAUSE THE TIRES ARE OFF 1/8" OF AN INCH WHICH MADE IT CRACK, NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I HEARD THAT TIRES BEING LOW ON PRESSURE OR WORN CAUSE PIECES OF YOUR CAR TO CRACK!! THIS NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED IMMEDIATELY.

MY CAR WOULD BE HARD TO START AT TIMES, WINDOWS WOULD NOT WORK PROPERLY, ABS, BRAKE, ENGINE, TRACTION LIGHTS ALL CAME ON, AND THE CAR WOULD DIE FOR NO APPARENT REASON. WHEN THE CAR WAS TURNED OFF THE ABS MODULE WOULD CONTINUE TO RUN. I HAVE BROUGHT AT LEAST 2 BATTERIES, HAD BRAKES, DONE THINKING THIS WAS THE PROBLEM, NOW I FOUND OUT ITS THE TIPM MODULE.
