The 2004 Chrysler Pacifica has 4 recalls, the most serious being a fuel line that can separate and leak fuel near the engine, raising the risk of a vehicle fire.
The other significant concern involves the powertrain control module software, which can cause the engine to stall without warning, particularly during low-speed cornering with a cold engine in cold temperatures. Stalling in traffic raises the risk of a crash. These two issues account for all four recalls, as each defect was filed across multiple regulatory submissions.
