Replying to: rhollis (May 30, 2008 12:07 pm) rhollis: Congradulations! Now you have to select what you want to replace it with. It is odd how some people get a vehicle that gives nothing but trouble, and one vehicle made just before and after your bad one was made, work perfectly. I guess there is no logical explimation is there. Let me know what you choose to replace it with. The Dodge Journey or the caravan or T&C might be a fit. Good hunting.   farout.

Replying to: farout (May 31, 2008 4:15 pm) Hi guys I have not been here in some time because I have been driving my other car and my wife the PAC yesterday y got the PAC and is driving worst than ever shuddering and the same intrusive down shift that my car has since new, I going to get some time this week to take it to the shop it has been 5 times one TC, one set of engine mounts several reflashing and comes back to bad. why Chrysler don't just change the full transmission and the computer from the new town and country, I have heard that works very well. as I have tell you before I really like the car but I want it drives as it looks.

Replying to: farout (May 31, 2008 4:15 pm) There used to be a joke about not buying a car made on a Friday or Monday. Mine was made on Monday - guess it is not a joke after all. I have had 5 or 6 Grand Caravans and 2 T&Cs, so that is the direction I am heading. I just need to get a decent price. Anyone who decides to arbitrate, should ask for an outside inspector. This is what clinched the deal for me, that and an inspector of my choosing who came up with the same findings. Chryslerdid not wish to believe me when I told them of theproblems with my car. I have been in the business for over 40 years so I think I have a slight idea what is going on with a vehicle. I persevered and went along with their requests for "another chance" until it became obvious that they had no clue what they were doing.

Replying to: faschulz (Jun 01, 2008 4:59 am) fashulz: I wonder when the last ref;ash was done? I had the ame experience as you, but had the newer March reflash doen and it did make a complete change. It was just a little better at first and within 1,000 miles it was smooth with no problems. I would call the Service manager and check to see if the March reflash was done. If it was tell your service manager you want the Zone Rep. to come and see what he thinks. Then either call or visit the General manager and tell him you ask that he follow up with a call to the Zone Rep also. Then call 1800 992 1997 and speak with the part that lest you talk with a rep.    This has worked several times for people on this and other forums. I know because I went through it with our 2005 Jeep Liberty diesel.   Let me know how it turns out.   farout

Replying to: quincyd (Jun 06, 2008 7:09 am) In my case, the service mgr contacted the zone rep for Chrysler. He told him all the problems I was having with my crappy pac, at the same time I called the Chrysler 800 number and complained, in a nice mannor. After a couple of months I was driving a 08 Aspen. My suggestion would be to tell your service mgr what you want done, just to prepare him and let him know he will be getting a call from Chrysler after you call the number. Good luck, I know it is frustrating, and it takes a little time. I was having a lot of problems with mine, it wasn't just the tc, Im not sure how it will work with a leased vehicle.

Replying to: quincyd (Jun 06, 2008 7:09 am) quincyyd: I have helped give the information to several who have got buy backs. Hotss I believe is one. Here are the steps. Have all your paper work that has been done and ready to show the Zone rep. First call your Service manager and tell him you want the Zone Rep called in on this PAC. Then call the Daelership manager or owner and ask him to follow up that the Zone Rep was called. Then call 800 992 1997 and tell then the complete situation. Tell them you have asked for the Zone Rep to get involved. Tell them you feel you want a buy back. MOST OF ALL BE POLITE, KIND, AND PATIENT. DO NOT DOWN GRADE THE DEALR OR ANY TEC. GIVE SOME KIND OF PRAISE FOR THEIR HELPING YOU.   We started our buy back on Feb. 16,07 on our Jeep Liberty diesel, we had the new replacement viechile (2007 Compass) on April 4, 07 and all the paper work was done by May 2, 07. It seems like a long time buy it moves pretty quickly. There is a charge for milage used, my case .05 cents a mile on 29,000 miles.    Make sure you have all the dates you Pac has been in the shop and the length of time you have been with out the PAC's use. Good luck let me know how it works for you.   farout
#444 of 742 Buy back by rhollis Jun 06, 2008 (12:04 pm)
Get all of your paperwork together and file for arbitration with: National Center for Dispute Settlement 22500 Metropolitan Parkway Suite 200 Clinton Township, MI 48035   If you do not like the result of arbitration, you need to take the car back to the dealer for another attempt at repairing it. If they do not, you can file again. It takes time, so be patient and persevere. According to my agreement, Chrysler is to give me a total refund with no write off for mileage.   Good Luck
#445 of 742 Transmission problem... by juleszee Jun 16, 2008 (6:15 pm)
I have a 2007 Pacifica, bought in Oct, brand new So far, we have had it in the shop 14 times and a total of 43 days. The major problem is when you are driving through a parking lot or up a hill It falls out of gear then stutters back into gear. This is just the topping of the cake. We have had a ton of problems so far and parts replaced. How do I get help with these problems, dealership says its normal and there is nothing wrong. They refuse to call the district area rep. and the 1-800 number is a total joke. Any help would be great!
