NHTSA Complaint #11140023 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

THE VAN WILL HESITATE WITH THE FOOT PUSHING THE GAS IN BETWEEN 10-20MPH AND ALL OF THE SUDDEN WILL JUMP FORWARD WITH A LOUD CLUNKING SOUND WHEN GOING TO THE NEXT GEAR. IT FEELS LIKE YOU GET REAR ENDED. THIS HAPPENS AT RANDOM. THE DEALER SAID THEY HAVE NEVER HEARD OF THIS ISSUE AND DID A SOFTWARE UPDATE AND SENT US ON OUR WAY. WITHIN A FEW HOURS AFTER LEAVING THE DEALER, THE VAN ISSUE OCCURRED AGAIN. I FOUND THE BELOW LINK FORUM FOR PACIFICA OWNERS AND IT SOUNDS LIKE A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS ISSUE. THIS SEEMED TO HAVE STARTED BACK IN JULY 2018 AFTER I HAD SEVERAL RECALL SOFTWARE UPDATES PUT IN PLACE. I WOULD JUST LIKE SOME HELP GETTING THIS RESOLVED AND MAKE OTHERS AWARE OF THE ISSUE FOR SAFETY REASONS. MY FEAR IS THAT MY WIFE WILL MAKE A TURN IN TRAFFIC AND THE VAN HESITATE AND HER GET T-BONED.
