What NHTSA investigated

On february 27, 2006 RQ06-002 was opened in response to 60 complaints of engine stall, mostly during left-hand turns, in model year (my) 2004 to 2006 chrysler pacifica vehicles that were outside the scope of recall 04V-113.IN march 2004, daimlerchrysler initiated recall 04V-113 on 34,561 my 2004 pacifica vehicles to correct a condition that could result in engine stall while making a left-hand turn after a cold-start.during RQ06-002 it was determined that recall 04V-113 did correct the specific cause of the engine stalling condition for that specific population.however, two other conditions were identified that could also cause engine stalling during turning MANEUVERS:(1) an issue with misbuilt fuel pumps that primarily affected about 17,000 my 2005 pacifica vehicles built during august and september 2004; and (2) a software condition affecting vapor purge in about 131,000 my 2005-06 pacifica vehicles built from july 2004 through november 2005. An engineering analysis, EA06-013, has been opened to further examine the scope, frequency and safety consequences associated with each of these conditions in the subject vehicles.
