What was the problem with my Chrysler Pacifica?
About a month and a half ago I had service performed at the Dodge dealership I bought my Pac from after I was feeling a lot of vibration when rpms hit about 1500 rpms. They ended up changing a Motor/tranny mount and insulator; they said it was torn in half.
When did the Chrysler Pacifica AWD come out?
We bought a 2005 Pacifica Touring AWD with 19k in April 2006 from a Chrysler dealer. About a month ago we noticed the car shuddering when going a steady speed 25 – 40 mph. It also does this under very mild acceleration in the same speed range.
Why does my Chrysler Pacifica shutter at lower speeds?
It shutters at the lower speeds of around 30mph and around 70mph. It is definitely even noticeable when the cruise control is on. The dealer initially told me that it’s a “computer” problem and “re-set” the computer. Just like you, when I drove it off the lot, the problem was still there. My Check Engine light and ESP lights also came on.
Why is my torque converter not working in my Pacifica?
The torque converter wasn’t bad, but they just replace them when they go into the trans. Apparently there were a couple “front bushings” in the front pump assembly that weren’t installed properly and caused excessive leaking and it’s inability to shift properly. The long and short of it is they need to disassemble the transmission.
