NHTSA Complaint #11229026 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

FOR A YEAR NOW OUR TRANSMISSION SLIPS WHEN GOING INTO FIRST GEAR. THE VAN WILL COME TO A COMPLETE STOP AND THEN CONTINUE MOVING WHICH RESULTS IN A HARD JERK. IT WAS SO BAD ON A TRIP THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND WE COULD NOT GET THE VAN OUT OF FIRST GEAR. WE WERE EVEN TRYING TO DRIVE OVER THE OHIO RIVER AT THE TIME! WE TOOK THE VAN TO THE DEALERSHIP. THE DEALERSHIP RESET THE VAN BUT THE ISSUES STILL OCCURRED. WE WERE INFORMED BY THE DEALER THAT CHYRSLER WILL NOT FIX THE ISSUES UNTIL OUR CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AGAIN. WE CONTINUE TO HAVE THE JERKING ISSUES AND THE TRANSMISSION CONTINUES TO SLIP. NOW THE VAN WANTS TO EXCEL AT TIMES. WE ARE COMPLETELY FRUSTRATED WITH OUR VAN!! I AM THE PRIMARY DRIVER AND HAVE AN EXTREMELY BAD BACK! THE JERKING IS CAUSING ISSUES WITH MY BACK. WE WOULD NEVER RECOMMEND A CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I CAN'T BELIEVE CHRYSLER WILLING TO PUT US IN DANGER!!
