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

Transmission problem... by juleszee

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!

I feel your pain. I am going into the 7 month of litigation but an getting close to a resolution. regardless of what anyone says, contacting a Lemon Law Attorney right away is the best way to go as you keep fighting to have your car repaired. I would not wait for Chrysler to solve the problem as they hold the upper hand as long as you keep taking it back for repairs. Document everything including repair reciepts and talk to an attorney. Most Lemon Law attorneys will work on your behalf an dget paid when you settle. Begin the process now and put a little pressure on them. I would also take the vehicle to another dealership for repair as this documents your disatisfaction with the repairs you have already recieved. I have had a few tokens settlement offers and am staaying the course to have the car "bought back". I just want to start fresh with a vehicle I can depend upon. I am actually now in federal court with a class action suit for just these problems and they seem to be taking this one seriously. Good Luck and keep us posted.

Chrysler is supposed to be buying back my 2007 Pacifica. The problem now is that the selling dealer does not seem to have the proper paprwork. I have not driven my car for a month, but I am still paying for it and the insurance. If Chrysler had a half compentent atorney,I would not be writing this.

Ive contacted the dealers.. Every one we have went to says that its normal. We can't go back to where we bought it, they bought back our first van and we had to get the pacifica from them. so they sold us another lemon. The other 2 dealerships in town say there is nothing wrong with it. Along with all the other problems we have had. I just dont know what to do. There are no attorneys in our area that deal with the lemon law. Chrylser is a joke. The response we got was well take it to another shop.. everytime we asked a question. Im just so done with it.

Here is the information that you need.
 
National Center for Dispute Settlement
22500 Metropolitan Parkway
Suite 200
Clinton, MI 48035
 
Write to them telling them of your problems. They will tell you what you need to file for arbitration. If the arbitrator finds in Chryslers favor, take the car in again, let them try to fix it again, and refile. It took me three filings to get satisfaction.
 
I had two independent inspectors drive my car (one I chose and NCDS chose the other one) and they both came up with the same problems that I came up with. I have in the business for 40 years, so I have a slight idea of how a car is supposed to perform.

Had my car for a year and half brought it used with 20000 miles on it.always noticed the tranny shifted funny but paid no attention to it until I found this web site.When I brought my wifes car in for service (a dodge caliber)I asked about my car and the tsb. The service manager said their is none on my car and cant fit anything if a number doesnt exsist?I gave him 21-010-08 and reflash 68022304AE,said numbers dont show up on the computer?What do you have to do to get the ball rolling?Cars I used to own I would drive them to 200000 to 300000 miles before I got rid of them with no major problems.

It depends on whether your car has the 4.0 engine and the 6 speed transmission. Try calling Chrysler. The number should be in the back of the owner's manual. Make certain that you have all of your paper work before making the call.

I took my PAC again last week to try to fix the shudder and the intrusive down shift but the people from chrysler told me that this is normal in this car, almost like saying that is some of the features of the car I tried to go the nice way I will get a lemon lawyer .

Well this is even better, Last week I took the Pac to the shop on a wednesday. I called, friday, monday and tuesday. Come to find out, They never touched it, let it sit in the parking lot and it got pounded with hail. Then they didnt call to tell me my Pac was damaged. I didnt find out until I had to walk to the back parking lot to pick up my Pac and see the damage myself. Then they told me it they wernt going to do anything about it. I was MAD
So they still say that it drives and shifts normal and that its normal driving for a PAC i think im going to get ahold of that company and see about another buy back.. ugh.. 2 bad chrysler products in less than a year.
