NHTSA Complaint #11404420 — 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

ALTHOUGH THE PROBLEM IS NOT THERE WITH EVERY ACCELERATION, THE VAN SEEMS TO BE TUGGING, THEN JUMPING/PUSHING FORWARD, AND THEN RESUMING ACCELERATION. THIS USUALLY HAPPENS AFTER BEING STOPPED AND ACCELERATING TO GO AT AROUND 20MPHS. I HAVE ALSO HAD THIS HAPPEN WHEN TURNING AND MERGING ON TO TRAFFIC AROUND TOWN WHICH HAS CAUSED ONCOMING CARS TO HAVE TO DECELERATE DUE TO MY ACCELERATION DELAY. I'VE HAD THE CAR CHECKED OUT BY THE DEALERSHIP AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM, YET I'M DRIVING AROUND TOWN WORRIED THAT I WILL GET IN A WRECK BECAUSE OF THE RANDOM FAILURE TO ACCELERATE SMOOTHLY. WHAT'S EVEN MORE CONCERNING IS THAT THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS LIKE MINE ONLINE, YET DEALERSHIPS ARE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE (ONE EXAMPLE: HTTPS://M.CARCOMPLAINTS.COM/CHRYSLER/PACIFICA/2017/DRIVETRAIN/POWER_TRAIN.SHTML). NOT SURE WHAT ELSE TO DO.
