NHTSA Complaint #11282418 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

WE ARE ON OUR SECOND PACIFICA AFTER THE FIRST WAS BOUGHT BACK BY CHRYSLER DUE TO MAJOR ELECTRICAL ISSUES (VEHICLE WOULD NOT START OR FUNCTION CORRECTLY, DEALER COULDN'T FIX IT). NOW ON OUR SECOND PACIFICA WE HAVE HAD CONSTANT TRANSMISSION ISSUES...FIRST TRANSMISSION STARTED SLAMMING INTO GEAR (FEELS LIKE YOU ARE BEING REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE, THIS CAN BE AT SLOWER SPEEDS < 20 MPH WHILE GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING), THEY RESET COMPUTER, THAT DIDN'T FIX IT, SO THEN THEY REPLACED THE VALVE BODY IN THE TRANSMISSION (2 SEPERATE SHOP TRIPS). A COUPLE MONTHS LATER IT STARTED SLAMMING INTO GEAR AGAIN (SLOW SPEEDS < 20, TURNING AND GOING STRAIGHT), SO THEY REPLACED THE TRANSMISSION AFTER PUTTING US IN A RENTAL FOR ANOTHER MONTH, ABOUT 6 MONTHS LATER THIS TRANSMISSION HAD THE SAME EXACT ISSUE, SLAMMING INTO GEAR AT LOW SPEEDS (< 20, TURNING OR GOING STRAIGHT). SO WE ARE ON OUR 2ND PACIFICA AND THE 3RD TRANSMISSION NOW AND ARE STILL HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS WE INITIALLY HAD (SLAMMING INTO GEAR LIKE YOU ARE BEING REAR ENDED AT SLOW SPEEDS < 20 GOING STRAIGHT OR TURNING)! THERE ARE SERIOUS ISSUES WITH THIS TRANSMISSION THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RESOLVE! THIS IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE THE WAY IT IS, BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW THE SITUATION YOU WILL BE DRIVING IN WHEN IT HAPPENS.
