Consumer Description
I bought a 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Pinnacle [XXX]. On [XXX] I was driving. I was on a busy six lane road when the engine stopped working. The dash display showed a message to the effect of "Stop safely, vehicle engine will shut off soon" [the engine had already shut off when I saw the display]. The battery and engine lights displayed. The vehicle would not start and was towed to my dealership. They could find nothing wrong with the vehicle. They replaced the battery thinking it was dead from the desert heat sitting on the dealer lot prior to sale. The car worked until [XXX]. My daughter was driving, again, on a six lane road, when the engine died. The dash again showed the "Stop safely, vehicle...." [again the engine had already shut off when she saw the display}. The engine and battery light were again illuminated. Email notifications were sent to me showing alerts: Powertrain Malfunction, Charging system, Brakes & Suspension Antilock Brake System. I had the car towed to my dealership. Again, the dealership replaced the battery but could find no cause. The car currently works. I have owned twenty autos in my life. I have NEVER had a vehicle stop working as I am driving it. This is an extremely dangerous situation; the risk of being rear ended by another driver at a high rate of speed is great. I have seen other posts from Pacifica drivers with the same issue. Putting any driver in an unsafe situation such as this needs correction; it is even more disturbing when it is a minivan designed for families with children. My dealership is as stumped as I am. Chrysler needs to address this immediately. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)
