NHTSA Complaint #11405985 — 2019 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

COUNTLESS EPISODES WHEN ON SLIPPERY CONDITIONS AND USING REGENERATIVE BRAKING, USUALLY GOING DOWN A HILL TRYING TO MAINTAIN SPEED WITH STEADY MODERATE BREAK PEDAL PRESSURE. WHEN I ENCOUNTER THESE SLIPPERY CONDITIONS THE REGENERATIVE BRAKES RAPIDLY DECREASE THEIR FORCE (OR ENTIRELY LOOSE BRAKING) FOR ABOUT 1 SECOND. IF I AM ON A LONGER STRETCH OF SLIPPERY CONDITIONS (PACKED SNOW, ICE) THEN THIS REPEATS AT ABOUT 1 SECOND INTERVALS. THIS HAS OCCURRED AT SPEEDS RANGING FROM 10-35 MPH. IF I PRESS HARDER THE ABS KICKS IN, BECAUSE THE OCCURS ON STEEP HILLS, INSTEAD OF MAINTAINING SPEED OR SLOWING DOWN, THE EFFECT OF GRAVITY LEADS TO AN ACCELERATION.
