What owners wrote
Chrysler pacifica experienced a power steering fluid leak that due to the location of the leak ignited the engine compartment on fire. The vehicle was totaled and significant property damage was done. Three vehicle occupants were able to escape without bodily injury but were frightened by the incident. Chrylser has not contacted me with any resolution. They replaced the vehicle with another but have not clarified what remedy if any is necessary on all other pacificas.
My husband was driving the car 2 days after we purchased it. He was coming down a slight incline and trying to yield and turn at an intersection. The power steering went out and the brakes locked up so he could not stop or control the direction of the vehicle. It was very scary with young children in the back seats! No warning lights or sounds alerted him to the failure of the steering or brakes.
