2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Electrical System Problems

THE START/STOP ICON APPEARED ON THE DASH AND ALERTED THAT THE SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. IT WAS TAKEN INTO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THE AUXILIARY BATTERY WAS DEAD. AUXILIARY BATTERY WAS REPLACED BUT LIGHT DID NOT GO OFF. TAKEN BACK INTO DEALERSHIP AND WAS TOLD THAT IT TAKES TIME FOR IT TO CHARGE AND ALERT SHOULD GO OFF AFTER DRIVING. ALERT DID NOT GO OFF AND WAS TAKEN BACK TO DEALERSHIP WHERE THEY SAID THAT THE BATTERY SYSTEM IS NOT CHARGING. HAD TO RESCHEDULE ANOTHER DIAGNOSTIC APPOINTMENT FOR NEXT WEEK AS THEY DID NOT HAVE TIME TO FIX IT. NONE OF THIS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AS 2017 PACIFICA HAS 45,000 MILES. ALSO ALERTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT THE 'HARD STOP' JERKING THAT OCCURS AT SHIFT CHANGE AROUND 15-20 MPH INTERMITTENTLY. THEY SAID THAT THIS COULD NOT BE INVESTIGATED DUE TO THE AUXILIARY BATTERY NOT FUNCTIONING.

MY 2017 PACIFICA HAS HAD MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS, SUNROOF, SLIDING DOORS, NAVIGATION, ELECTRONIC SCREEN, AND REAR HATCH WHICH HAVE BEEN REPAIRED EXCEPT FOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW & SUNROOF. BUT THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT REPEATEDLY AND THEY SAY THEY CAN NEVER RECREATE IS THAT THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE OFTEN TIMES UNTIL AFTER THE CAR GLIDES INTO THE INTERSECTION, AND WHEN IT DOES IT LURCHES FORWARD. I DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY BECAUSE I KNOW I AM AT RISK OF GETTING HIT IF THE ENGINE DOESN'T KICK IN THE NEXT TIME I TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

SINCE PURCHASING OUR PACIFICA, WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES THAT SEEM TO NOT BE GETTING RESOLVED WITH CHRYSLER BESIDES CONTINUOUSLY IN THE SHOP. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW SO WE WOULD NOT HAVE THE HASSLE OF AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS LEFT US STRANDED WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE BACK HATCH CAME OPEN. AFTER PULLING OVER TO FIX THIS, AS I HAD KIDS IN THE CAR, THE VEHICLE KEPT OPENING. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND FIXED THE ISSUE.CHRYSLER WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH THROUGH THE FIRST ISSUE. THE CASE MANAGER SAID THAT I WAS EXAGGERATED OVER THE ISSUES.WE THEN HAD THE AUTOMATIC START/STOP GO OUT, THIS CAUSED OUR DISPLAY SCREEN TO FREEZE UP AS WELL TO WHERE WE COULD NOT USE OUR CONTROLS. AT THIS TIME WE AGAIN BEGIN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE BACK...

THE VEHICLE WILL STALL AND THEN HARD SHIFT FROM FIRST TO SECOND GEAR. WE INITIALLY NOTICED THE HARD SHIFTING WHEN WE BOUGHT THE VEHICLE BUT THOUGHT IT MIGHT BE THE AUTO STOP/START SYSTEM. WE DIDN'T THINK MUCH OF IT UNTIL IT STARTED SHIFTING HARDER WHEN WE WOULD STOP OR BE DRIVING. THIS, AT TIMES, CAUSED ISSUES WHEN TURNING OR ACCELERATING TO GO THROUGH AN INTERSECTION. THE VEHICLE STALLING CAUSES A SAFETY HAZARD AND PRESENTS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ACCIDENT TO OCCUR DUE TO THE DELAYED RESPONSE OF THE VEHICLE. THE CARS FOLLOWING BEHIND COULD POTENTIALLY REAR END THE VEHICLE. THE HARD-SHIFTING FEELS LIKE SOMEONE HIT YOU FROM BEHIND AND CAUSES BACK AND NECK PAIN FROM THE SUDDEN JERKING MOVEMENT. THIS VEHICLE HAS ALSO COMPLETELY STOPPED WHEN BEING DRIVEN CAUSING A SERIOUS SAFETY HAZARD. IT STARTED UP AGAIN IMMEDIATELY AFTER THAT INCIDENT ONLY TO NOT START AT ALL A FEW MONTHS...

WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, THE UCONNECT SYSTEM REPEATEDLY DISPLAYED REQUESTS FOR SETTING A TIME DURING WHICH THE SYSTEM WOULD UNDERGO AN OVER-THE-AIR SOFTWARE UPDATE. THIS DIALOG BOX COULD NOT BE EASILY DISMISSED OR CLEARED. I CHOSE AND SET A TIME FOR THE UPDATE; HOWEVER, THIS REQUEST DIALOG WAS REINSTANTIATED ANYTIME A BUTTON WAS PRESSED, THUS EFFECTIVELY RENDERING THE TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE (INCLUDING THE NAVIGATION) UNUSABLE. THE DIALOG HAD A DEFAULT TIME FOR THE SYSTEM TO UPDATE. THIS WAS SET TO THE CURRENT TIME PLUS ONE MINUTE. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO CLEAR THE DIALOG AND USE THE NAVIGATION, THIS DEFAULT TIME WAS INADVERTENTLY CHOSEN. ONE MINUTE LATER, WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON THE HIGHWAY, THE UCONNECT SYSTEM INITIATED A SOFTWARE UPDATE WHICH COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN THE TOUCHSCREEN INTERFACE AND DISPLAYED A WARNING WHICH SAID THAT THE VEHICLE SHOULD BE STOPPED AND IN PARK. AS THE CAR...

I PURCHASED A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN OCTOBER 2016 AND IT HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS EVER SINCE THEN. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIME FOR A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES 1. THE MAIN ISSUE WAS A HESITATION IN ACCELERATION (THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING) EACH TIME WE TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT, BUT WHEN WE GOT IT HOME THE PROBLEM ALWAYS CAME BACK. IT JUST CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, THE WARRANTY WE PURCHASED RAN OUT AND THE VEHICLE ENDED UP GETTING TOWED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR REPAIRS FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP (BECAUSE I LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE). THE FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT STALLS, STOPS, AND SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC. 2.THE PASSENGER (RIGHT-REAR) TURN SIGNAL AND REVERSE LIGHT (RIGHT) WIRING HAD TO BE...

A/C AND HEAT FAN WILL SPONTANEOUSLY INCREASE AND DECREASED POWER, DASH LIGHTS WILL PULSE BRIGHTNESS, DASH WILL FLASH "ELECTRICAL FAILURE" "PARKING BRAKE FAILURE", AND POWER STEERING STARTS TO FAIL. FEELS UNSAFE TO DRIVE

YESTERDAY MORNING MY BATTERY VOLTAGE WHILE DRIVING WAS FLUCTUATING TO LOW ERRATICALLY. WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE LEFT TURN THE BATTERY VOLTAGE IMMEDIATELY DROPPED DOWN DRASTICALLY TO POINT OR CUTOFF AND NEARLY CAUSED A COLLISION. IT THEN JUMPED BACK UP TO 14.4V AND HELD THAT CONSISTENTLY. A FEW HOURS LATER IT DROPPED DOWN WHILE DRIVING. THE DASHBOARD DIDN'T HAVE ANY LIGHTS LIT AND THE BATTERY STRENGTH WAS FINE OTHER THAN THE ERRATIC FLUCTUATIONS. I GOOGLED AND SAW THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ON MY VEHICLE TYPE AND YEAR. PHONE DEALERSHIP TO TELL THEM MY CAR WAS UNSAFE AND PERFORMED ERRATICALLY BECAUSE OF BATTERY ISSUE. DESPITE THE ARTICLE FROM MAY 2019 PERTAINING TO THIS SAME EXACT ISSUE, THEY SAID I DIDN'T HAVE A RECALL ON MY CAR. I DID RESEARCH AND IT SHOWED THE STALLING I'VE EXPERIENCED WAS DUE TO BATTERY CONNECTOR ISSUES. THIS MORNING I GOT INTO MY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE START AND STOP FEATURE WAS INOPERABLE AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE SHIFTED ROUGHLY AND ALL THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO STEW HANSEN DODGE RAM CHRYSLER JEEP (2103 HICKMAN RD, URBANDALE, IA 50323, (877) 841-4585 WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED SEVERAL TIMES; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND DID NOT ASSIST. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000. *BF *TP

STOPPED VEHICLE AND VAN AUTOMATICALLY WENT INTO PARK. OCCASIONALLY VEHICLE WILL NOT START WHEN BRAKE/BUTTON PRESSED. RADIO GOES ON BY ITSELF FREQUENTLY WHILE DRIVING. WHILE DRIVING, PARKING ASSIST WENT OFF BY ITSELF.

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH OUR 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE FIRST ISSUE IS WHEN WE ACCELERATE BETWEEN 10 AND 20 MPH OUR VEHICLE REVS UP AND JERKS REALLY BAD. LITERALLY FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN REAR ENDED. IT IS LIKE THE GEAR IS SLIPPING OR IT CAN'T FIND THE NEXT YEAR TO GO INTO. ANOTHER ISSUE WE ARE HAVING IS WITH THE DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR. I USUALLY HAVE TO TRY TO SHUT IT MULTIPLE TIMES FOR IT TO STAY SHUT. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS I HAVE HAD TO HIT THE BUTTON 3-4 TIMES FOR IT TO STOP POPPING BACK OPEN. THE LAST ISSUE IS OUR START/STOP FEATURE. IT HAS COMPLETELY STOPPED WORKING AND IT SHOWS A CODE ON THE DASH. THESE ARE ALL ISSUES WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR MONTHS.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE DOOR PUSH BUTTON FAILED TO OPEN THE DOOR FROM INSIDE THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER OR AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE WAS SERVICED PER AN UNKNOWN RECALL. AFTERWARDS, THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START, THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN, AND ALL THE WARNING INDICATORS TURNED ON AND OFF. THE FAILURE RECURRED TWICE. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY SERVICED PER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V348000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). ON ANOTHER OCCASION, WHILE DRIVING, THE STEERING WHEEL SEIZED AND A WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED, INDICATING TO PARK AND START ENGINE. THE ENGINE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LONE STAR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (8811 INTERSTATE 35 ACCESS RD, SAN ANTONIO, TX 78211, (210) 828-1515) WHERE MULTIPLE INSPECTIONS WERE COMPLETED. THE CONTACT WAS UNAWARE OF...

WHEN STARTING THE CAR THE ENGINE DOESN'T ALWAYS TURN OVER. WHEN THIS HAPPENS ALL THE SENSORS GO DOWN AND IT TELLS ME I AM NOT IN PARK. THE CAR WON'T TURN OFF OR ON AND MUST TRY IT MANY TIMES BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE WITH HAPPEN. IT SEEMS TO HAPPEN ON A COOLER MORNING

THE AUXILIARY BATTERY FAILED WHICH CAUSED MY START/STOP SYSTEM TO DISABLE WHICH IN TURN CAUSED MY ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL DISABLE ALSO. I HAVE HAD THE CAR JUST OVER A YEAR WITH 55,000 MILES ON IT.

AS I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY MY PASSENGER WINDOW SUDDENLY ROLLED DOWN THEN MY DASHBOARD LIGHTS FLICKED ON AND OFF MULTIPLE TIMES. THE BATTERY LIGHT AND NO TRACTION LIGHT BLINKED, TOO. AS I WENT TO PULL OVER TO STOP, THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUT OFF ONCE I BRAKED. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE DRIVING AT THAT TIME. I WAS GOING ROUGHLY 65 MPH WHEN THE INITIAL PROBLEM BEGAN.

ON SEPTEMBER 16, 2019 NEAR 10 AM MY 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS PARKED IN FAMILY GARAGE SINCE THE 13TH WITHOUT BEING DRIVEN. THE KEY FOB DIDN'T WORK AND NO POWER WAS AVAILABLE TO START OR ACCESSORIES. AN ATTEMPT WAS MADE TO JUMP IT WITH CABLES FROM MY WIFE'S CAR AND IT WOULD NOT START. TOW WAS REQUEST TO NEAR BY DODGE DEALER JACK PHELAN IN COUNTRYSIDE, ILL. EARLY AFTERNOON TWO DIFFERENT TOW TRUCK COMPANIES WERE SUMMONED AND THEY BOTH WERE UNSUCCESSFUL IN JUMPING IT.AFTER TWO DAYS THEY STATED THE BATTERIES WERE DEFECTIVE AND BOTH NEEDED REPLACEMENT. STILL UNDER WARRANTY OTHERWISE COST WAS GIVEN AS OVER $600.00.

VEHICLE WAS BEING DRIVEN AT APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH WHEN IT SPONTANEOUSLY BECAME EXTREMELY LOWER ON POWER AND LOST ALL POWER STEERING ALONG WITH NUMEROUS ERROR MESSAGES AND DASH LIGHTS BEING ILLUMINATED. THE VAN WAS ABLE TO BE DRIVEN INTO A PARKING LOT WHERE IT WAS RESTARTED AND DRIVEN THROUGH THE LOT. AFTER APPROXIMATELY 30 SECONDS THE VAN HAD THE EXACT SAME ISSUE BUT THIS TIME WAS NOT ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. MARTINS CHRYSLER OF UNTION GROVE WISCONSIN CAME AND PICKED UP THE VEHICLE. THE OWNER OF MARTINS SAID THE VEHICLE STARTED BUT THEN HE EXPERIENCED THE SAME ISSUE WE HAD. ASIDE FROM SOME START/STOP AND ELECTRICAL/CHARGING SYSTEM ERROR MESSAGES PREVIOUSLY THERE WAS NO WARNING AT THE TIME OF THIS INCIDENT. WE'VE HAD THE VAN IN BEFORE FOR THESE ERROR MESSAGES BUT THE DEALER NEVER FOUND THE CAUSE OF THE ISSUE.

AFTER SEVERAL STOPS FOR SHOPPING THE VAN WOULD CRANK OVER BUT NOT START, REPEATEDLY. AFTER 15 MINUTES OF TRYING AND A 5 MINUTE COOLDOWN THE VAN STARTED.

VEHICLE STALLING DUE TO DEAD BATTERY ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP. VEHICLE STALLED WHILE DRIVING. I WAS ABLE TO START IT AGAIN AFTER COMING TO A STOP, BUT IT TOOK 3 TIMES PUSHING THE START BUTTON BEFORE IT TURNED OVER. HAD THE VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP TO RUN DIAGNOSTIC AND THEY CONCLUDED THE BATTERY WAS DEAD AND NO OTHER MALFUNCTION WAS REPORTED.

BACK UP CAMERA HAS START TO MALFUNCTION. MORE TIMES THAN NOT WHEN YOU GO INTO REVERSE THE CAMERA EITHER COMES UP BLACK, BLACK WITH WARNING LINES, BLUE SCREEN, FUZZY PICTURES, GREAT PICTURES THEN YOU MOVE AND IT FREEZES. THIS IS BECOMING RIDICULOUS WITH A PRETTY MUCH BRAND NEW VEHICLE. NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AND FIXED PROPERLY.

WE TOOK A 7 HR TRIP IN OUR 2017 PACIFICA ON SAT BACK HOME FROM VACATION. THE NEXT DAY WE DROVE TO A LOCAL MOVIE THEATER. WE OBSERVED SEVERAL WARNING LIGHTS APPEAR FOR NO REASON. THE NEXT DAY THE VAN WOULD NOT START. BOTH BATTERIES ARE DEAD. WE USED A BATTERY CHARGE TO CHARGE MAIN BATTERY BUT IT WOULD ONLY CHARGE TO 11,6 AND WILL NOT START THE VAN. WE TRIED JUMPER CABLES. NOTHING WILL START THE VAN. WHEN ROADSIDE ASSISTANCE CAME TO TOW THE VAN TO THE SHOP THE MANUAL PARK RELEASE DID NOT WORK AND THE REAR TIRES WERE LOCKED. SOMETHING IS SERIOUSLY DRAINING THE BATTERY AS SOON AS YOU TAKE IT OFF THE BATTERY CHARGER. SOMETHING IN THE COMPUTER IS SUCKING ALL THE LIFE FROM THE BATTERY. VERY FRUSTRATING SINCE I JUST TOOK THE VAN INTO THE SHOP A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO GET THE FOURTH...

THE CAR SIMPLYWONT START. CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TURNED ON, SERVICE ABS, SERVICE ESC, PARKING BRAKE UNAVAILABLE, POWER STEERING UNAVAILABLE. THE POWER DOORS DONT WORK. SHIFTER IS LOCKEDAND THE AUTO PARK BRAKE WAS LOCKED. THE CAR WONT EVEN SHIFT TO NEUTRAL SO IT CAN BE TOWED.

WHEN PARKED, THE CAR WOULD NOT INITIALLY "PUSH TO START" AND WHEN IT DID START IT DISPLAYED ERRORS TO "SERVICE SHIFTER, " "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE, " "PARKING BREAK UNAVAILABLE." VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN GARAGE.

ENGINE STALLING WHEN IDLE OR DURING TAKE OFF BUT QUICKLY RESTARTS WHEN PUTTING IT IN PARK. AT TIMES IT GOES DIRECTLY TO PARK ON ITS OWN AFTER SHUTTING DOWN. RECENTLY THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHILE DRIVING AROUND 50 MPH. I COASTED TO THE STOP LIGHT PUT IT IN PARK AND IT RESTARTED. LOOSING POWER COMPLETELY AFTER STALLING BUT AFTER A FEW MINUTES OF WAITING IT RESTARTS. SHIFT SERVICE WARNING APPEARS BUT RESETS BEFORE TAKING IT TO DEALER. OFTEN SHIFT INDICATOR LIGHTS DON'T WORK BUT WILL AFTER THE CAR RESTARTS HOURS LATER. WINDOWS GO DOWN ON THEIR OWN WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THE VEHICLE JERKED. ON SOME OCCASIONS, THE VEHICLE WOULD SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC AND RESTART. IN ADDITION, THE "AUTO STOP" INDICATOR WAS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO FOX HILLS CHRYSLER JEEP (734-892-2220, LOCATED AT 111 ANN ARBOR RD, PLYMOUTH, MI 48170) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND REFERRED THE CONTACT TO NHTSA. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 21,500.

VAN WOULD NOT PICK UP SPEED IN HIGHWAY. PULLED OFF AT NEXT EXIT AND WHILE ATTEMPTING TO PULL OFF TO THE SIDE THE ENGINE STALLED AND SHUT OFF. THE SHUT OFF WAS ON A ROAD. HAD ONE FAILED START THE. WE WERE ABLE TO DRIVE OFF.

AT LEAST 6 TIMES IN THE PAST 8 MONTHS THE VEHICLE HAS FAILED TO START. IT BEHAVES AS IF BOTH BATTERIES ARE DEAD. AFTER USING A TRICKLE CHARGER I CAN GET THE CAR TO START. IT'S BEEN RETURNED TO THE DEALER NUMEROUS TIMES. EACH TIME THEY REPORT THAT THEY CHARGED THE BATTERIES AND EVERYTHING IS FINE AND CHRYSLER WILL NOT LET THEM REPLACE EITHER BATTERY SINCE "NO ERROR CODE IS REPORTED". SUPPOSEDLY THEY CHECKED THE CHARGING SYSTEM AS WELL AS LOOKED FOR A PARASITIC DRAW AND FOUND NOTHING. WE ARE AFRAID TO USE THE VEHICLE LEST WE GET STUCK FAR FROM HOME. IN DESPERATION I REPLACED THE MAIN BATTERY AT MY EXPENSE. IN ALL CASES THE PROBLEM OCCURRED WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED IN OUR DRIVE. SOME CASES OVERNIGHT AND OTHERS AFTER RETURNING FROM AN ERRAND RUN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AFTER REFUELING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS UNABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS, THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND UNKNOWN WARNING INDICATORS REMAINED ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OLATHE DODGE CHRYSLER JEEP RAM (LOCATED AT 15500 W 117TH ST, OLATHE, KS 66062, (913) 780-3700) TO BE DIAGNOSED, WHICH WAS STILL PENDING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 38,508. PIIR = Y.

I HAVE TAKEN THIS VEHICLE IN FOR REPAIRS MULTIPLE TIMES AND IT IS SCHEDULE FOR REPAIRS AGAIN THIS WEEK. THERE HAVE BEEN MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL ISSUES INCLUDING PROBLEMS WITH THE SLIDING DOORS, ANTI LOCK BRAKE SYSTEM HAD TO BE REPLACED, THE BATTERY SYSTEM IS GROUNDING OUT, ISSUES WITH THE RADIO SCREEN, AND NOW THE AUTO ON OFF SYSTEM IS NOT WORKING. IN ADDITION, I HAD TO TAKE THE VEHICLE IN FOR THE BALL JOINTS BOLTS COMING LOOSE THREE TIME AND THEY JUST USED LOCTITE TO MAKE THEM SAY ON . THEY NEVER REALIGNED THE VEHICLE AND NOW I HAVE TO REPLACE TIRES THAT ARE UNSAFE. CHRYSLER SHOULD OWN THIS AND I AM STILL CONVINCED THE BALL JOINTS COULD BE DAMAGED FROM THIS ISSUE AND THEY SHOULD REPLACE THEM. HOWEVER, THE BIGGEST ISSUE IS THE TRANSMISSION. IT WILL BE GOING IN FOR THE FIFTH TIME THIS WEEK FOR THE SAME ISSUE THAT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 70 MPH, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHUT OFF. AFTER PULLING OFF THE FREEWAY AND STOPPING THE VEHICLE, THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE ENGINE AND THE VEHICLE OPERATED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. LEE'S SUMMIT CHRYSLER (1051 SE OLDHAM PKWY, LEES SUMMIT, MO) AND THE MANUFACTURER WERE NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 45,000.

THE PARTS TO DO THE REPAIRS WERE UNAVAILABLE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE MANUFACTURER EXCEEDED A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF TIME FOR THE RECALL REPAIRS AS THE RECALL NOTICE WAS RECEIVED OVER A YEAR AGO. RAY BRANDT CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM FIAT (1660 WESTBANK EXPY, HARVEY, LA 70058, (504) 334-8908) WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE PARTS WERE NOT AVAILABLE. THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THE BATTERY FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED SEVERAL TIMES AND WAS UNABLE TO CONFIRM WHEN THE PARTS WERE TO BECOME AVAILABLE. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE CHECK ENGINE AND BRAKE WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. ALSO, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER ONCE THE CONTACT...

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM BEGAN ACTING ERRATIC. WHEN PARKED, THE CAR WOULD NOT INITIALLY "PUSH TO START" AND WHEN IT DID START IT DISPLAYED ERRORS TO "SERVICE SHIFTER," "SERVICE PARKING BRAKE," "PARKING BREAK UNAVAILABLE." ON THE DRIVE, WHILE IN MOTION, THE AIR CONDITIONING BEGAN TO INCREASE AND DECREASE IN POWER/SPEED WITHOUT DRIVER INPUT. THE VEHICLE THEN TURNED OFF ON THE HIGHWAY. AFTER RESTARTING AND MAKING IT HOME THE CAR HAD DIFFICULTY TURNING ON AGAIN. THE SLIDING DOORS AND LIFT GATE WERE ALSO SAID TO BE "UNAVAILABLE."

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS AN INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL SHORT. WHILE PULLING IN THE DRIVEWAY, THE BATTERY LOST POWER AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. ED PAYNE CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (2101 E EXPRESSWAY 83, WESLACO, TX 78599, (956) 272-1902) INDICATED THAT THE OEM BATTERY WAS NOT AVAILABLE AND THE PART HAD TO BE ORDERED, WHICH MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL JULY 18, 2019.

THE APPROXIAMTE FAILURE MIELAGE WAS 22,000.

WE HAVE HAD A FEW CONTINUING PROBLEMS SINCE THE ORIGINAL PURCHASE OF A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA BRAUNABILITY VAN. THE CAR HAS HAD ELECTRICAL ISSUES AND ON 3 OR 4 OCCASIONS HAS SUDDENLY SHUT OFF OR STOPPED WORKING. ONE TIME MAY HAVE BEEN RELATED TO A CAR ACCIDENT MY HUSBAND WAS IN. HE COLLIDED WITH ANOTHER CAR IN 2018, IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE ACCIDENT THE CAR WAS NOT RUNNING, BUT HE HADN'T TURNED IT OFF. IT STARTED BACK UP AGAIN BUT THIS HAPPENED 2 OR 3 TIMES THIS YEAR WITH DIFFERENT ELECTRICAL FEATURES NOT WORKING MAKING THE CAR INOPERABLE AT TIMES. IN ADDITION, THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM HAS CONTINUOUSLY BEEN DYSFUNCTIONAL. WE HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP A FEW TIMES FOR THIS PROBLEM. MOST RECENTLY IT WAS FIXED A COUPLE MONTHS AGO AND IT IS AGAIN NOT WORKING.

WHILE DRIVING MY 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ON 7/11/2017 THE MINIVAN COMPLETELY SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSECTION , I HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND START THE VEHICLE AGAIN , HARD SHIFTING IS BEEN A COMMON ISSUE ON A DAILY BASIS .

WHEN CLOSING THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDING DOOR, IT BOUNCES BACK OPEN ONE TO MULTIPLE TIMES BEFORE LATCHING SHUT 90% OF THE TIME. WE CONFIRM THERE IS NOTHING IN THE WAY OF IT CLOSING. WE HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP UNDER WARRANTY MULTIPLE TIMES AND THEY ALWAYS STATE IT CANNOT BE REPLICATED. ALSO, ON THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR IF SOMETHING GETS IN THE WAY IT WILL ONLY OPEN A SMALL PORTION VERSUS OPENING ALL THE WAY UP OR SHUTTING COMPLETELY. IF A CHILD PUTS THEIR FOOT UP, THE DOOR WILL STOP WITHOUT OPENING BACK UP. THERE IS NO ALERT/WARNING ON THE DASHBOARD AND YOU EASILY DRIVE AWAY WITH THE SLIDING DOOR PARTIALLY OPEN, VERY DANGEROUS. ANOTHER ITEM, IF YOU LEAVE A BACK DOOR OPEN, THE VAN WILL ALLOW YOU TO PUT IT IN GEAR WITHOUT MANUALLY TAKING OFF THE PARKING ASSIST OR AGAIN NOTIFYING YOU THERE IS AN OPEN...

FIRST, THE TWO BATTERIES IN THE VEHICLES ARE FAILING PREMATURELY. OURS JUST FAILED ABOUT A WEEK AFTER THE START/STOP SYSTEM LIGHT ACTIVATED ON DASH. OUR VAN WAS PARKED FOR 7 DAYS AT AN AIRPORT AND UPON RETURNING FROM VACATION THE BATTERIES WERE DEAD AND UNABLE TO BE RECHARGED. IRONICALLY, MY SISTER-IN LAW IN CALIFORNIA WHOM WE WERE VISITING, HAD THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM WITH THEIRS WHILE WE WERE THERE. AGAIN, A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THIS IS A REOCCURRING ISSUE ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY ACCORDING TO GOOGLE RESEARCH AND CARCOMPLAINTS.COM. SOME PEOPLE ARE HAVING THEIR VAN DIE OR STALL WHILE IN MOTION. SECOND, THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE PAINT BUBBLING UP AROUND THE HOOD EDGES. AGAIN, MY RESEARCH ON GOOGLE AND CARCOMPLAINTS.COM REVEALS MANY ARE SUFFERING THIS BUBBLING PAINT ISSUE. LAST, THE TRANSMISSION HAS AN EXTREMELY HARD SHIFT INTERMITTENTLY BETWEEN 10 TO 15 MPH. SO HARD IN...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE BEGAN TO HESITATE AND THE SECURITY SYSTEM WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE SEIZED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT HAD TO JUMP START THE VEHICLE, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. UPON INVESTIGATION, THE CONTACT ASSOCIATED THE FAILURE WITH NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 19V348000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND A NEW BATTERY WAS PURCHASED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER WERE NOT NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 50,000.

I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH MY 2017 PACIFICA THAT BEGAN ROUGHLY ONE YEAR INTO MY 39 MONTH LEASE (CURRENTLY 22 MONTHS IN). THE AUTO START/STOP INDICATOR AND A MESSAGE SAYING THE HOOD IS OPEN WHEN IT'S NOT REPEATEDLY SHOWS ON THE DASH WHEN DRIVING AND WHEN STATIONARY. THESE ISSUES WERE SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" TWICE NOW WITH A THIRD APPOINTMENT IN A FEW WEEKS (TAKES FOREVER TO GET IN TO THE DEALER AND I'M FED UP WITH HAVING TO RENT A VEHICLE WHILE THE DEALER "FIXES" THE PROBLEM). ALSO, THE CAR HAS STALLED AT LEAST 10 TIMES IN THE PAST YEAR, MOST RECENTLY YESTERDAY, WHICH REQUIRES ME TO SHIFT TO PARK AND RESTART THE VEHICLE. THIS TOO WAS SUPPOSEDLY "FIXED" EACH TIME THE DEALER HAD IT IN THE SERVICE DEPT. I WAS VERY LUCKY THAT THE CAR WAS SITTING IDLE AT A RED LIGHT OR STOP SIGN DURING EACH OF...

RADIO SCREEN WENT BLACK. NOTHING CONNECTED WITH SCREEN CAN BE USED (RADIO, BACKUP CAMERA, CLIMATE CONTROL, ETC.

OUR PACIFICA WAS STOPPED AT A STOPLIGHT. WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN, THE PARKING BRAKE ENGAGED AND A MESSAGE CAME UP THAT SAID TO SERVICE THE SHIFTER. WE WERE ABLE TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE AND RESTART IT, BUT WE WERE NOT ABLE TO GET THE PACIFICA TO SHIFT TO DRIVE OR TO GET THE PARKING BRAKE TO DISENGAGE. SHERIFF'S DEPUTIES WHO CAME AND REMAINED ON SCENE WITH US WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH CHRYSLER CARS WERE ALSO NOT ABLE TO GET OUR PACIFICA TO MOVE. THANKFULLY THIS INCIDENT HAPPENED IN A SITUATION THAT WAS NOT TERRIBLY BUSY. I AM CONCERNED THAT THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS IF IT HAD OCCURRED ON A BUSY ROAD. THE DOCUMENT FROM THE REPAIR CITES TSB 18-002-19. THE WORK THAT WAS DONE WAS TO REPLACE THE SHIFTER. OUR VAN ONLY HAD 41962 MILES ON IT AT THE TIME OF THE INCIDENT. IF THIS IS...

AUTO START/STOP WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED ON PANEL. NO REASON FOR THIS TO TURN ON AS CAR WAS IN MOTION AND OPTION HAD BEEN TURNED OFF.

---SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL--- WHILE MY WAS IN MOTION, I RECEIVED A MESSAGE SAYING, "SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL". DURING THIS TIME, I NOTICED MY VEHICLE'S AC LOWERED AND I COULD HEAR THE ENGINE SHIFT AND I FELT A JUMP. IT DID THIS 4 TIMES IN A 20 MINUTE DRIVE.

CURRENTLY HAVE 53,078 MILES ON THIS VAN. IT IS SERVICED REGULARLY BY THE SAME DEALERSHIP WE BOUGHT IT FROM. TODAY AS I WAS PICKING UP MY KIDS FROM SCHOOL( SPEED LIMIT IS 15 MPH) VAN SUDDENLY LOST POWER, IT MADE BEEPING NOISE, AND DASH SAID TO SHIFT TO PARK. I SHIFTED TO PARK AND SHUT IT DOWN THEN RESTARTED. IT IS DRIVING NORMAL AGAIN BUT I'M STILL TAKING IT INTO DEALERSHIP BECAUSE EVER SINCE IT HAD A SOFTWARE UPDATE LAST YEAR, I HAVE HAD ISSUES WITH TRANSMISSION SLIPPING AS I DRIVE ON HIGHWAY. IT SLOWS DOWN BY ITSELF AND JERKS VAN ROUGHLY AS IT AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTS TO NEXT GEAR. ALSO THE TRUNK STOPPED MAKING BEEPING SOUND WHEN IT OPENS.

VEHICLE "JERKS" WHEN AUTOMATICALLY SHIFTING. THIS HAPPENS AT SLOW SPEEDS, WHILE IN MOTION, ON CITY STREETS. HAS BEEN TAKEN TO DEALER, AND WAS TOLD NOTHING COULD BE DONE UNLESS THE "CHECK ENGINE" LIGHT WAS ON. PASSENGER SIDE SLIDING DOOR WILL RETRACT AS IF SOMETHING IS BLOCKING ITS TRACK WHEN THERE IS NOTHING THERE. PAINT IS BUBBLING ON THE HOOD

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED ON AN INCLINE, THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. AS THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO RELEASE THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE VEHICLE ROLLED BACKWARDS WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE CITY OF MCKINNEY (972-569-9650, LOCATED AT 700 S CENTRAL EXPY, MCKINNEY, TX 75070) WHERE NO FAILURES WERE FOUND WITH THE VEHICLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED. *TR *AS CONSUMER STATED ELIMINATING THE STANDARD SPARE TIRE TO REDUCE WEIGHT IN THE VEHICLE HAS CAUSED A SAFETY ISSUE AS MOST TIRE PROBLEMS CANNOT SIMPLY BE FIXED ON THE SIDE OF THE ROAD WITH A PATCH KIT.

AS I WAS EXITING THE PARKING GARAGE, THE TRUNK OPENED UP WHILE THE CAR WAS BEING DRIVEN. THERE WAS A LOUD NOISE FROM THE LIFTGATE AND THE REAR WINDSHIELD WAS SHATTERED, PLUS THE WIPER SYSTEM BROKE.

MY 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA LOST ALL DASHBOARD POWER YESTERDAY WHICH MEANT NO HEAT, ETC. I WAS GOING TO BRING IT IN TO THE DEALER THIS MORNING BUT THE POWER DOORS WEREN'T WORKING AND IT WOULDN'T START. A FEW MINUTES LATER EVERYTHING ELECTRICAL SHUT DOWN AND NOW IT'S COMPLETELY DEAD. SEEMS THERE ARE MANY CASES OF ISSUES WITH THIS MAKE MODEL YEAR. LUCKILY IT DIED WHEN STATIONARY.

I WAS IN A PARKING LOT AND I TURNED THE VAN ON WITH THE LIGHTS ON AUTO AND THE INTERIOR LIGHTS FLASHED ON THEN WENT DARK...NO SPEEDOMETER, NO GAS GUAGE, NO NAVIGATION, RADIO, OR PHONE CONNECTION. I TURNED THE CAR ON AND OFF TWICE BUT IT DIDN'T FIX IT. THEN I TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS OFF AND THE DASH CAME BACK. I TURNED THE HEADLIGHTS ON AND OFF TWICE MORE AND NOTHING CHANGED. WE JUST BOUGHT THIS CAR AND I AM CONCERNED IT'S A LEMON.
