NHTSA Complaint #11004116 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

LAST NIGHT, WHILE DRIVING APPROX 40MPH, OUR BRAND NEW 2017 PACIFICA LTD SHUT DOWN. THE ENGINE SUDDENLY, WITH NO WARNING, JUST STOPPED. THE DOT ABOVE THE 'D' (FOR DRIVE) STARTED FLASHING, AND A MESSAGE FLASHED: 'SHIFT TO P TO START.' WE CAME TO A STOP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. I PUT IT IN PARK AND THEN WAS ABLE TO TURN IT BACK ON. I HAD BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL, SO I NEVER TOUCHED THE STARTER BUTTON. THE KEY FOB WAS IN MY PURSE, WHICH WAS NOT MOVED. THANKFULLY WE WERE NOT ON A HIGHWAY, SO NOBODY RAN INTO US. I DROPPED IT OFF AT THE DEALERSHIP THIS MORNING, AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE ERROR. WE'VE HAD IT FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS, AND WE'VE DRIVEN IT 1500 MILES, MOSTLY HIGHWAY.....UPDATED 11/03/17 *BF UPDATED 11/09/2017*JS
