NHTSA Complaint #11047601 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

MY WIFE AND I WERE RETURNING FROM A TRIP TO AN APPOINTMENT AROUND 2:30 IN THE AFTERNOON. WE JUST EXITED OFF INTERSTATE 395 AND WERE MERGING INTO TRAFFIC HEADING EAST ON DUKE STREET. THE LIGHT CHANGED TO YELLOW AND REQUIRED US TO STOP MORE AGGRESSIVELY THAN I TYPICALLY WOULD. WE WERE TRAVELING IN A STRAIGHT LINE AND HAD TO DECELERATE FROM 20 MPH TO COMPLETE STOP WITHIN A MATTER OF APPROXIMATELY 10 FEET. ONCE OUR VAN CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP THE CAR SHUT OFF. I DIDN'T NOTICE ANY MESSAGE ON THE SCREEN, BUT WHEN I RELEASED THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE STARTED AGAIN. AFTERWARDS, I THOUGHT BACK TO THE PREVIOUS STOP AND THOUGHT I NOTICED SOME HESITATION IN ACCELERATION, BUT DIDN'T REALIZE IT UNTIL AFTERWARDS. THE CAR WAS ONLY PURCHASED A MONTH AND A HALF AGO AND WAS PURCHASED NEW. UNFORTUNATELY I DO NOT HAVE ANY PHOTO EVIDENCE OF THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND THE VEHICLE DID NOT PRESENT A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT. THE DEALER WE PURCHASED FROM STATED THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT WE WERE TALKING ABOUT, BUT OFFERED WE MAKE AN APPOINTMENT AND THEY WOULD CHECK THE VEHICLE.
