NHTSA Complaint #11222630 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2017 PACIFICA THAT BEGAN ROUGHLY ONE YEAR INTO MY 39 MONTH LEASE (CURRENTLY 22 MONTHS IN). THE AUTO START/STOP INDICATOR AND A MESSAGE SAYING THE HOOD IS OPEN WHEN IT'S NOT REPEATEDLY SHOWS ON THE DASH WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN STATIONARY. THESE ISSUES WERE SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" TWICE NOW WITH A THIRD APPOINTMENT IN A FEW WEEKS (TAKES FOREVER TO GET IN TO THE DEALER AND I'M FED UP WITH HAVING TO RENT A VEHICLE WHILE THE DEALER "FIXES" THE PROBLEM). ALSO, THE CAR HAS STALLED AT LEAST 10 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR, MOST RECENTLY YESTERDAY, WHICH REQUIRES ME TO SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS TOO WAS SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" EACH TIME THE DEALER HAD IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THE CAR WAS SITTING IDLE AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN DURING EACH OF THESE OCCURRENCES. I WOULD HATE TO THINK OF WHAT COULD HAPPEN IF I WAS DRIVING AT ANY RATE OF SPEED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ADDITIONALLY, THE BATTERY INDICATOR HAS COME ON TWICE NOW IN THE PAST TWO DAYS, WHICH SUGGESTS THE BATTERY ISN'T CHARGING RIGHT. HOWEVER, I CHECKED THE BATTERY VIA THE VEHICLE INFORMATION SECTION ON THE DASH AND THE BATTERY IS RUNNING APPROPRIATELY. I WILL CONTINUE TO MONITOR THAT AS WELL AND HAVE THE DEALER CHECK IT AT THE APPOINTMENT IN A FEW WEEKS. WITH ALL OF THAT BEING SAID, THESE PROBLEMS SHOULD NOT BE OCCURRING IN A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN TWO YEARS OLD! THESE ARE SAFETY CONCERNS THAT HAVE THE POTENTIAL TO CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO THE DRIVER/PASSENGER OF THE PACIFICA AS WELL AS INNOCENT BYSTANDERS. IT IS NOTEWORTHY THAT I CURRENTLY HAVE 21K MILES ON THE VEHICLE. THESE ISSUES BEGAN AROUND THE 12K MILE MARK.
