2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Engine Problems

IN JANUARY 2018, TOOK THE VAN IN BECAUSE OF JERKING MOTION SHIFTING OUT OF GEARS. WOULD GO FROM FIRST GEAR, SKIP SECOND GEAR AND THEN JERK HARD INTO THIRD GEAR, ALMOST FEELING LIKE THE VAN WAS GOING TO STALL. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP STATED THAT CHRYSLER DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM BUT DOING AN ENGINE STALL RESET WITH THE COMPUTER SYSTEM IN THE CAR MAY FIX IT. THAT WORKED FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND THE JERKING MOTION STARTED TO HAPPEN AGAIN. MOST TIMES IT WAS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 15-20 MPH, BUT THEN IT STARTED TO HAPPEN AT SPEEDS LIKE AT 40MPH. THEN YESTERDAY, WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY, THERE WAS STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, AND AS I WAS TRYING TO ACCELERATE, THE CAR JERKED SO HARD TWICE, I THOUGHT I WAS REAR ENDED. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND THE CAR BEGAN TO ACCELERATE ON ITS OWN. I TRIED...

WHILE IDLING AT A LIGHT AND PRESSING PEDAL TO GO. MY 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FAILED. LIGHTS STARTED. FLASHING IN DUST CYCLING THROUGH CHECK ABS, CHECK TIRE PRESSURE, ETC... CAR WAS IN DRIVE AND WAS ROLLING BACKWARDS WITH BREAKS AND STEERING NOT WORKING. THIS RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT ROLLING INTO THE VECHICAL BEHIND US. THE NICE INDIVIDUAL THE WE CRASHED INTO WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE FAILURE ON HIS DASH CAM. WE HAVE BROUGHT IN THE VAN ON OTHER OCCASIONS TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT FOR TRANSMISSION WANTING TO LAUNCH FORWARD WHEN GOING FROM IDLE. THEY STILL CAN NOT FIGURE IT OUT AND TOLD USE NO RECORD IN SERVICE REPORTS WITH OTHER HAVING ANY PROBLEMS. AFTER A 10 SECOND SEARCH WE FOUND OTHERS HAVE HAD SIMILAR PROBLEMS WITH SAME MAKE AND MODEL. THESE. CAN BE FOUND ON CONSUMERS REPORTS. WITH. OUT A GUARANTEE THE BREAKS AND STEERING WILL NOT GO OUT...

ON 2-1-18 WE TOOK OUR 2017 PACIFICA TO NEAREST DEALER TO GET NHTSA RECALL ID NUMBER : 18V049 FIXED. THEY DID NOT HAVE A FIX FOR IT YET & COULD NOT LOAN US A CAR WHEN OUR FIX-AVAILABILITY DATE WAS NOT KNOWN--MAYBE EARLY APRIL OR EVEN OVER IN THE FALL. FCA EXPECTED US TO KEEP ON DRIVING IT; BUT MY WIFE AND I BOTH WERE AFRAID OF IT, AS OURS FAILED TO ACCELERATE WHEN LEAVING A RESTAURANT & PULLING ONTO A BUSY STREET. THE ACCELERATOR WAS DEPRESSED THE 3RD TIME BEFORE IT RESPONDED; AND WHEN IT DID, IT TOOK OFF REALLY FAST AND EVEN SCREECHED THE TIRES. WE WERE AFRAID TO DRIVE IT! ON 2-1-18 WE LEFT IT WITH DEALER & TOLD THEM TO CALL US WHEN FIXED. IN THE INTERIM, WE RENTED A DODGE VAN, CLOSEST TO PACIFICA AS THEY HAD & RETURNED IT ON SAME DAY, 2-21-18, AS...

OUR 2017 PACIFICA WAS REPAIRED IN THE FALL OF 2017 UNDER RECALL #T23 (EGR VALVE FUNCTION DEFECT). NOW, OUR VEHICLE IS EXPERIENCING THE STALLING PROBLEMS DESCRIBED IN THE MORE RECENT U01 RECALL. THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP REFUSES TO APPLY THE U01 FIX TO OUR CAR, STATING THAT THE EARLIER RECALL FIX SHOULD HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM. AT THIS TIME, THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCES INTERMITTENT STALLS AT LOW SPEED AND AT IDLE, AND HAS SLAMMED TO AN IMMEDIATE STOP IF THE ISSUE OCCURS WHEN MOVING. IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

ENGINE STALLED WHEN ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. LOST ALL CONTROL OF ELECTRICAL, AND THE CAR WOULD NOT SHIFT INTO PARK OR NEUTRAL. WINDOWS WOULD NOT CLOSE OR OPEN. NAVIGATION SCREEN WAS STILL ON. NO OTHER DASH WARNING LIGHTS WERE ILLUMINATED. ATTEMPTED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND ON, BUT NOTHING HAPPENED. AFTER 5 MINUTES OF ATTEMPTING TO RESTART THE CAR, IT RESTARTED. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR TO A SAFE LOCATION AND HAVE IT TOWED.

ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND PROMPTS TO PUT CAR INTO PARK TO RESTART WHILE DRIVING

SINCE 11/2017, HAVE HAD ONGOING ISSUE WITH SENSATION OF A VERY HARD SHIFT OCCURRING WHEN ACCELERATING ESPECIALLY IF I HAVE BEEN DRIVING IN HEAVY TRAFFIC FOR SOME TIME. THIS HAS BEEN ON BOTH HIGHWAYS AND ON LOCAL STREETS. SENSATION IS SO HARD, IT FEELS LIKE VEHICLE HAS BEEN REAR ENDED. THIS HAS OCCURRED BOTH BEFORE AND AFTER RECALL WORK WAS DONE. HAVE REQUESTED EVALUATION TWICE AT DEALER AND EACH TIME NOTHING ABLE TO BE FOUND AS CAUSE. THE EVENT DOES NOT OCCUR ALL OF THE TIME SO SERVICE TECHS MOST LIKELY DID NOT EXPERIENCE IT. STARTING THE WEEK OF 4/30, VAN HAS STARTED TO BE SLOW IN ACCELERATION WHEN PULLING AWAY FROM RED LIGHTS, INTERSECTIONS AND MERGING ONTO HIGHWAYS. FEEL VAN IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. ALSO HAD CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COME ON AND FOUND TO BE FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR. WHEN FIRST REPLACED AT DEALER, FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR WORKED...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE IDLING, THE VEHICLE SHOOK AND LOST POWER. THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED DURING THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO ISLAND CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1239 HYLAN BLVD, STATEN ISLAND, NY 10305) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT IT WAS MISFIRING. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED AND A CASE WAS OPENED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 10,000.

BOUGHT NEW, CURRENTLY HAS APPROX. 1200 MILES ON IT. VAN HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE SHOWING ERROR MESSAGES INCLUDING "STOP/START UNAVAILABLE, SERVICE STOP/START SYSTEM", THE LETTER A! WITH AN ARROW AROUND IT. WHEN VAN STALLS THE GEAR KNOB FLASHES IN "D" OR DRIVE MODE. TAKEN TO SERVICE FOR FIRST INCIDENT WEEK OF 4/16, DEALERSHIP REPLACED THE ECM. PICKED UP VEHICLE ON 4/18 AND STALLED AGAIN ON 4/22 AND 4/23 WHILE SHOWING THE EXACT SAME ERROR MESSAGES. TOWED TO DEALER ON 4/24 AND THEY KEPT IT UNTIL 4/30 WITH NO FIX AS THEY SAID THEY COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ERRORS OR STALLING. PICKED UP THE VAN ON 4/30 AND THE VEHICLE STALLED AGAIN AND EXHIBITED THE SAME ERROR CODES WHILE NOT EVEN A QUARTER MILE FROM LEAVING THE DEALERSHIP. I PULLED OVER, PUT THE VAN IN PARK, STARTED THE VAN AGAIN AND TOOK IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND...

VEHICLE WAS RECALLED DUE TO PACIFICA'S STALLING CREATING DANGEROUS SITUATIONS, VAN WAS TAKE TO DEALERSHIP AND SOFTWARE UPDATED. OUR VAN HAD BEEN HAVING MANY TRANSMISSION ISSUES, MAINLY HARD SHIFTS THAT SHIFTED SO HARD IT FELT LIKE THE VEHICLE WAS REAR ENDED. AFTER THE SOFTWARE UPDATE, OUR FAMILY WAS ON AN ON RAMP TO THE HIGHWAY AND THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY JUST STALLED AND STOPPED. THE VEHICLE FINALLY BEGAN MOVING AGAIN AFTER WHAT SEEMED LIKE A LONG TIME BUT WAS MOST LIKELY 5 - 10 SECONDS. HAD A VEHICLE BEEN FOLLOWING US IT WOULD HAVE RESULTED IN AN ACCIDENT WITHOUT QUESTION. THE VAN MADE IT HOME AND HAS BEEN PARKED IN OUR GARAGE AS WE FEEL IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER HAS BEEN CONTACTED AND IS LOOKING INTO IT. WE BOUGHT A NEW VEHICLE AND THIS ONE BECAUSE OF THE MANY SAFETY FEATURES, UNFORTUNATELY WE ARE LEFT WITH A VEHICLE THAT...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT OPENED THE HOOD AND NOTICED SMOKE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE HAD FALLEN TO THE GROUND. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO CASS BURCH CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM VALDOSTA (4164 N VALDOSTA RD, VALDOSTA, GA 31602, (229) 242-1540) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE NEEDED REPLACEMENT. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN ANY RECALLS. THE VEHICLE WAS CURRENTLY AT THE SAME DEALER FOR REPAIRS. THE CONTACT CALLED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS INFORMED THAT HE WOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR A NEW ENGINE SINCE THE VEHICLE HAD ONLY BEEN DRIVEN FOR A YEAR. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000.

WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN INTO A DRIVEWAY THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF

AS OF TODAY, MY NEW VAN HAS BEEN IN SERVICE 13 OF THE 15 DAYS I HAVE OWNED IT. NOT EVEN 12 HOURS AFTER BRINGING MY NEW VAN HOME, I NOTICED SOME LAGGING/SLIGHT JERK AFTER BRAKING GOING AROUND 20 MPH. THE NEXT DAY, IN A NEIGHBORHOOD (THANK GOODNESS) AFTER TURNING RIGHT AFTER A STOP SIGN, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON WITH A DING AND BLINKING AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE. I COASTED INTO MY FRIENDS DRIVEWAY TO PUT IN PARK AND THE VAN BEGAN TO SHAKE. THIS WENT ON A FEW MIN AND BECAUSE I WAS ON MY WAY TO WORK, I LEFT THE DRIVEWAY AND CONTINUED ON MY WAY FOR 10 MIN. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON TWO MORE TIMES AFTER THAT. AFTER FOUR DAYS IN SERVICE, THEY FINALLY CONCLUDED IT WAS THE O2 SENSORS AND REPLACED ALL OF THOSE. AFTER IT WAS FIXED, MY HUSBAND...

PURCHASED VEHICLE IN AUGUST 2017 AND HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS SINCE THEN. GRINDING NOISE STARTED TO OCCUR AROUND 1000 MILES. IT WOULD OCCUR INTERMITTENTLY AROUND SURFACE STREET DRIVING SPEEDS. SOUND APPEARED TO COME FROM DRIVER SIDE. HARDER GRINDING NOISE OCCURRED AROUND 7000 MILES INTERMITTENTLY, WITH IT OCCURRING BOTH IN CRUISE CONTROL AND OUT OF CRUISE CONTROL. LURCHING FORWARD WHEN SHIFTING GEARS ALSO OCCURRED AROUND THE 1000 MILE MARK. WAS TOLD THIS WAS "NORMAL". BUT HOW CAN IT BE NORMAL WHEN THE VEHICLE IS BRAND NEW. WAS TOLD THE SOFTER GRINDING NOISE AND LOUDER GRINDING NOISE WERE BOTH NORMAL AND RESULT OF POWER STEERING. HOWEVER, I WASN'T EVER STEERING WHEN THE SOUNDS OCCURRED. LASTLY, THE BIGGEST COMPLAINT IS THAT THE CAR STALLED TWICE AROUND 13,000 MILES. BOTH TIMES AT THE STOP-LIGHT (THANK GOD) AND ACCELERATING. FIRST TIME THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL COMPONENT SHUT OFF. PLACED THE CAR INTO PARK AND PUSHED THE...

THIS VAN HAS STALED ON ME 4 SEPARATE TIMES NOW, TWICE PUTTING ME IN A VERY BAD AREA FOR A HEAD ON CRASH AND 1 SEVERE READ END CRASH. I HAVE HAD THE VAN IN THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES, THIS LAST TIME SINCE 4TH OF MARCH TO CURRENT. 1ST TIME I WAS DRIVING ABOUT 30 MPH ON A MAIN CITY STREET, PULLED OUT OF SIDE STREET AND THE VAN JUST STALLED. I HAVE NO POWER STEERING, BRAKES, NOTHING, BY THE TIME IT STOPPED ROLLING I WAS IN THE ONCOMING LANE OF A VERY BUSY STREET. 2ND TIME I WAS DEAD STOP AT A LIGHT, THE LIGHT CHANGED AND THEY VAN DIDNT MOVE, HAD THE PEDAL TO THE FLOOR AND NOTHING. 3RD TIME I WAS LEAVING MY HOME, PULLED OUT ONTO THE COUNTRY ROAD ON WHICH WE LIVE, STARTED UP THE HILL, LOST POWER AGAIN, TOOK ME IN THE ONCOMING LANE,...

THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO COME TO A SUDDEN STOP BECAUSE OF LOSS OF POWER. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE CHANGED TO PARK BEFORE IT COULD BE STARTED. THIS ISSUE HAPPENED WOULD HAPPEN ON A FULL TANK OF GAS AND CONTINUOUSLY UNTIL THE FUEL LEVEL WAS RAN DOWN.

ENGINE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AT APPROX. 25MPH ON A SNOW COVERED STREET IN THE DARK. LOST ALL POWER AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS AND WAS STRANDED IN MIDDLE OF STREET WITH TRAFFIC ALL AROUND. ENGINE RESTARTED AFTER A NUMBER OF ATTEMPTS. VEHICLE HAD PREVIOUSLY BEEN UPDATED WITH RECALL TO ADDRESS THIS ISSUE IN JANUARY OF 2017 (U01/NHTSA 18V-049). CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THEY ARE AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND EXPECT ANOTHER SOFTWARE RECALL TO BE READY IN APRIL. THEY REQUESTED THE VEHICLE BE TAKEN OUT OF SERVICE AND PROVIDED AN RENTAL CAR UNTIL UPDATE WILL BE MADE AVAILABLE.

TOTALLY AND 100% UNSATISFIED WITH MY CHRYSLER PURCHASE.

I BROUGHT MY CAR INTO THE SHOP ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 2, BECAUSE I HAD EXPERIENCED ON 2 SEPARATE OCCASIONS A STALL. ONCE WHEN I WAS TURNING OUT OF MY SUBDIVISION, SO THANKFULLY AT A SLOW SPEED, HOWEVER, THE CAR STALLED IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD THAT I WAS TURNING ONTO. THE SECOND TIME, I WAS PULLING INTO THE GAS STATION, DECELLERATING AT ABOUT 30MPH. I HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THIS RECALL, I JUST KNEW THAT I NEEDED TO GET IT FIXED, AS I HAVE 3 CHILDREN THAT RIDE IN MY CAR EVERY DAY. ONCE I ARRIVED TO THE DEALER, I WAS NOTIFIED THAT THERE WERE 2 RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE, AND THAT THEY WOULDN'T BE ABLE TO FIX EITHER OF THEM UNTIL APRIL. I HAVE OWNED THE CAR FOR LESS THAN A YEAR, AND AM TERRIFIED TO PUT MY CHILDREN IN THIS VEHICLE. CHRYSLER HAS INFORMED ME THERE...

BRAND NEW... OWNED LESS THAN A MONTH... 750 MILES...WE LIVE AT THE TOP OF A VERY STEEP HILL WITH A SHARP CURVE AT THE BOTTOM. I REVERSED OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY ONTO THE STREET AND SHIFTED THE VAN INTO DRIVE. I FELT THE CAR GO INTO GEAR AND I STARTED ROLLING DOWN THE HILL, AS IT'S A STEEP INCLINE YOU PICK UP SPEED QUICKLY. AS THE VAN GAINED SPEED DOWN THE HILL SOMETHING FELT "WRONG" AND I SUDDENLY REALIZED I WASN'T IN FULL CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. WITH THE SHARP CURVE QUICKLY APPROACHING I STOMPED THE BRAKE AND BROUGHT THE VAN TO A STOP. I PUT THE VAN IN PARK AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL AND TRIED UNDERSTAND WHAT WAS GOING ON. I PUT THE VAN BACK IN DRIVE, FELT IT GO INTO GEAR BUT WHEN I TRIED TO ACCELERATE NOTHING HAPPENED. PUT IN IT REVERSE, FELT IT GO...

I PURCHASED MY 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING L ON 7/22/2017, EVERYTHING WAS GOING GREAT UNTIL MID AUGUST. MY UCONNECT RADIO KEPT FREEZING, THE ENGINE TICKED (STOPPED ITSELF WITHIN A FEW WEEKS), THE TAILGATE GOT STUCK HALF WAY A FEW TIMES TRYING TO AUTOMATICALLY CLOSE. IT'S JUST STOP MIDWAY AND I'LL HAVE TO MANUALLY PUSH IT SHUT CLOSE. WITHIN LATER MONTHS (BEGINNING AROUND OCTOBER) MY BEGAN TO JERK BACK EVERY SO OFTEN (ABOUT TWICE A WEEK) WHILE DRIVING. IT'S HAPPENED AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS SO I'M NOT SURE WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. I'VE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE CENTER MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION OR 'FIX' FOR THE PROBLEM. SINCE THEY DON'T HAVE A SOLUTION THEY WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. RECENT MONTH (DECEMBER/JANUARY) THE JERKING IS GETTING WORSE. IT'S BEGINNING TO JERK ALMOST EVERYDAY, SOMETIMES MORE THAN THREE TIMES A DAY! I'VE BEEN CONTINUING...

BACK IN NOVEMBER 2017, MY FAMILY AND I WERE DRIVING 70MPH ON THE FREEWAY AND THE CAR'S DASHBOARD LIGHT ALL TURNED ON AND STARTED BLINKING. THE CAR LOST POWER FORCING ME TO QUICKLY PULL OVER AND AVOIDED ANOTHER CAR FROM COLLIDING. THE SERVICE LIGHTS TURNED ON. I TURNED OF THE IGNITION AND TURNED IT BACK ON. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP THE FOLLOWING DAY. THEY RAN A DIAGNOSTIC TEST BUT COULD NOT PULL ANY CODES OF THE INCIDENT. I SAW THE RECALL ANNOUNCED A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE FIX FOR THIS RECALL WILL NOT BE AVAILABLE UNTIL 2ND QUARTER OF 2018. I DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING THIS CAR, ESPECIALLY WITH MY KIDS ON BOARD. WE PURCHASED THIS CAR FOR ITS SAFETY RATING, NOW WE ARE DRIVING A DEATH TRAP.

I WAS DRIVING IN MY RESIDENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD, I HAD SLOWED DOWN AT A CORNER TO LET A CHILD ON A BIKE PASS ME BY. WHEN THE CHILD PASSED ME, I PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS AND THE CAR MOVED AND THEN STOPPED - EVERYTHING SHUT OFF, THE LIGHTS, THE ENGINE, EVERYTHING. I AM NOT SURE WHAT HAPPENED NEXT- PEOPLE BEHIND ME WERE HONKING LIKE CRAZY AND I IT TOOK ME A FEW SECONDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO NEXT. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PUSHED THE START/STOP BUTTON AND CAR STARTED AGAIN. THERE WAS AN ERROR MESSAGE ON THE DASHBOARD (THE A WITH AN ARROW AND EXCLAMATION POINT), I DROVE STRAIGHT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND LEFT THE CAR WITH THEM. THE CONSUMER STATED THE UCONNECT STOPPED WORKING AS WELL AS THE AIRBAG. *JS *JS

WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT MY AUTO STOP/START SYSTEM AUTOMATICALLY ACTIVATED AS USUAL. HOWEVER, THIS TIME WHEN THE LIGHT TURNED GREEN THE ENGINE DID NOT AUTOMATICALLY START.

ALSO, A MESSAGE INSTRUCTED ME TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND THE PUT IT INTO PARK AND RESTART IT. AFTER TURNING THE CAR OFF AND THEN ON THE CAR MOVED.

I HAVE A CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2017 FOR 7 MONTHS. MY DISPLAY SAYS SERVICE SHIFTER. I HAVEN'T RECEIVED A RECALL FOR IT BUT FCA HAS RECALLED 1.1 MILLION VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. I HAD COMPLAIN VARIOUS TIMES OF A CLOCKING SOUND WHEN YOU CHANGE GEARS AND WAS GIVEN THE EXCUSE "THEY ALL DO THAT". THE PERSON WORKING AT THE DEALER IS NOW GONE. HELP IS NEEDED.

FOR THE PAST YEAR THE CAR JERKS FORWARD AND STALLS WHILE DRIVING. ESPECIALLY AFTER GOING FROM A STOP. SOMETIMES IT IS SO BAD, YOU VIOLENTLY JERK FORWARD. HAVE BROUGHTEN TO DEALER TWICE FOR THIS. ONCE THEY DID A SOFTWARD UPDATE, THAT DID NOT HELP. SECOND TIME THEY SAID IT WAS NORMAL

CAR UNEXPECTEDLY CUT OUT AND ENGINE STALLED WHILST MAKING A TURN ON TO A BUSY 4 LANE STREET. TOOK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND NO ISSUES FOUND. I'VE REDENTLY DISCOVERED THIS HAPPENING TO OTHER VEHICLES OF THE SAME MAKE, MODEL AND AND YEAR.

STOPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THE ENGINE AUTO SHUT OFF LIKE NORMAL AT A LIGHT, BUT WHEN GREEN LIGHT CAME AND GAS PEDAL WAS PRESSED, AN ALERT POPPED UP ON DASH SAYING PARKING WAS ENGAGED. PUT INTO PARK AND TRIED TO RELEASE PARKING BRAKE PARKING BRAKE ACTUALLY ENGAGED. COULD NOT DISENGAGE AFTERWARDS, FOOT BRAKE WAS HELD WHILE ATTEMPTING TO DISENGAGE PARKING BRAKE.

AIR CONDITIONING BLOWS COLD THEN HOT AND STAYS HOT UNTIL IT IS TURNED OFF AND THEN BACK ON MULTIPLE TIMES IN 10-20 MILE RANGE. STALLED AT A RED LIGHT. TURNED OFF WHEN BACKING UP IN MY DRIVEWAY. PARKING BREAK LIGHT KEEPS POPPING ON WHEN TURNING KNOB FOR CHANGING GEARS.

I HAVE TWO OCCASIONS WHERE MY VEHICLE STALLED. 1. I WAS DRIVING AT 40 MPH ON THE HIGHWAY AND EVERYTHING WENT DEAD, I COASTED TO A STOP ON THE SIDE AND WAS ABLE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART. THE SECOND TIME I WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT ON A SIDE STREET, AND STARTED TO GO FROM A STOP TO A LEFT TURN AND THE VEHICLE START TO GO AND SUDDENLY WENT DEAD. I PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTARTED.
