2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Power Train Problems

ISSUES WHEN THE VEHICLE IS MOVING AT SLOW SPEED GOING FROM WHAT FEELS LIKE 1ST SECOND GEAR AND A VERY HARD THUMP FEELING IS FELT. RPM GUARGE GPES FROM 1500-300 RPM VERY RAPIDLY THEN THE VEHICLE SHIFTS GEARS AND THE THUMP OR HARD SHIFT IS FELT. CAN HAPPEN EITHER ON HIGHWAY, CITY STREET ANY ROADS AT ALL.

THE VEHICLE WILL UNDERGO A HARD SHIFT WHEN CHANGING FROM EITHER 1ST OR 2ND GEAR. THIS HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY UNDER NO SPECIFIC CONDITIONS WITH DIFFERENT DRIVING STYLES THE VAN CURRENTLY HAS 31K MILES ON IT WITH NO KNOWN ACCIDENTS OR REPAIRS. THESE SYMPTOMS HAVE OCCURRED DURING CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. THE SHIFT IS HARD ENOUGH TO GIVE THE FEELING THAT THE VAN HAS BEEN REAR-ENDED.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN ACCELERATION FROM STOP AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN , THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND BACK INTO GEAR. THIS CAUSED A VIOLENT MOTION IN THE CAR.AT TIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE PROPERLY AND IT SLIPS CAUSING A DELAY IN TAKING OFF. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ALL UPGRADES OR REPROGRAMS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND YET THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN ACCELERATION FROM STOP AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN , THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND BACK INTO GEAR. THIS CAUSED A VIOLENT MOTION IN THE CAR. THIS IS A REPEATED ISSUE WITH THIS VAN. AT TIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE PROPERLY AND IT SLIPS CAUSING A DELAY IN TAKING OFF. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ALL UPGRADES OR REPROGRAMS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND YET THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS

THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE NINE SPEED TRANSMISSION. OCCASIONALLY WHEN SHIFTING FROM FIRST TO SECOND WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A STOP, THERE WILL BE A LOSS OF POWER TO THE WHEELS EVEN THOUGH THE GAS PEDAL IS STILL ENGAGED. AFTER A SECOND OR TWO THE TRANSMISSION WILL SHIFT ROUGHLY INTO THE NEXT GEAR WITH A GREAT LURCH. IT FEELS LIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE HAS NERFED YOU IN THE REAR BUMPER. THE LURCH IS THAT STRONG. CHRYSLER SAYS THERE IS NO BULLETIN ABOUT THE PROBLEM. THEY CLAIMED THEY REFLASHED THE COMPUTER BUT THAT DID NOTHING TO FIX THE PROBLEM.

THIS PROBLEM OCCURS AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. THIS HAPPENS AS THE VEHICLE IS ACCELERATING AND REACHES BETWEEN 15 TO 18 MPH. THE CAR STOPS SHIFTING AND FEELS LIKE IT IS JUST SHUTTING OFF. I HAVE TO PRESS HARD ON THE GAS PEDAL TO GET THE VEHICLE TO RESPOND. I HAVE ASKED THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT TWICE TO FIX THE PROBLEM. BOTH TIMES, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE COMPUTER SCANNER SHOWS NO CONCERNS AND THAT THE TECHNICIAN CANNOT FIND THE PROBLEM AFTER TAKING THE VEHICLE FOR A DRIVE. THE LAST TECHNICIAN INFORMED MY THAT CHRYSLER IS DENYING THE ISSUE BECAUSE THE COMPUTER SCANNERS SHOWS NO ISSUES. HE INFORMED ME THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE ISSUE AND WILL CONTINUE TO DENY IT UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT MAKES THEM. THE OTHER DAY MY HUSBAND TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THE STORE AND HE CAME BACK A NERVOUS WRECK. THIS SAME CONCERN HAPPENED TO HIM. HE...

THE VAN JERKS AND AND STALLS WHEN SHIFTING GEARS (ESPECIALLY ON LOW GEARS). IT THEN SUDDENLY SURGES.

AT TIMES WHEN I STEP ON THE GAS TO ACCELERATE THE TRANSMISSION DOES NOT ALWAYS ENGAGE PROPERLY AND IT SLIPS CAUSING A DELAY IN TAKING OFF. I HAVE HAD IT BACK TO THE DEALER FOR ALL UPGRADES OR REPROGRAMS FOR THIS PROBLEM AND YET THE PROBLEM STILL PERSISTS. THE OTHER DAY I WAS PULLING OUT OF A PARKING LOT ONTO A HIGHWAY ON WHICH THERE WAS ONCOMING TRAFFIC. I STEPPED ON THE GAS AND THE TRANSMISSION DID NOT ENGAGE PROPERLY AND THEN THE CAR DID NOT ACCELERATE AS IT SHOULD HAVE WHICH THEN CAUSED THE ONCOMING TRAFFIC TO HAVE TO BREAK IN ORDER TO AVOID HITTING ME. THANKFULLY, THAT VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO STOP BEFORE HITTING ME, BUT I AM FEARFUL THAT ONE DAY I WILL BE IN A SITUATION WHERE I WON'T BE SO LUCKY WHEN THE TRANSMISSION DOES THIS. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED TO ME WHEN I HAVE...

WHEN MY PACIFICA IS STATIONARY THE FOLLOWING DANGEROUS ACTION OCCURS EVERY TIME. WHEN THE TRANSMISSION IS PLACED IN PARK AND MY FOOT IS REMOVED FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL, THE CAR WILL ROLL BETWEEN 6 INCHED TO 1O INCHES. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALER SERVICE DEPARTMENTS, "THAT IS NORMAL". I KNOW THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL BECAUSE I HAVE TALKED TO AT LEAST THREE OWNERS OF THE SAME MAKE YEAR AND MODEL THAT TELL ME, THEIRS DOES NOT ROLL IN PARK. IN ADDITION I HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 2 DOZEN CARS, TRUCKS, AND RVS AND NONE OF THEM ROLL IN PARK. THE FIRST TIME I WAS STANDING AT THE REAR OF THE CAR TO GET SOMETHING OUT OF THE REAR AND THE CAR HIT ME AND MADE ME LOSE MY BALANCE. I HAVE BEEN PUSHED BY THE PASSENGER DOOR SEVERAL TIMES WHEN I GET OUT FIRST AFTER...

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUE. VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. WHEN ACCELERATION FROM STOP AND MAKING A RIGHT TURN , THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND BACK INTO GEAR. THIS CAUSED A VIOLENT MOTION IN THE CAR. THIS IS A REPEATED ISSUE WITH THIS VAN. WE FEEL THAT THIS COULD LEAD TO A BIGGER ISSUES THAT COULD CAUSE INJURY FROM AN ACCIDENT.

I AM CLEARLY HAVING A SHIFTING GEAR ISSUES. I AM GETTING A MAJOR KICK IN THE SHIFTING DURING LOW SPEED, IT HAPPENS BETWEEN 15 AND 18 MPH. THE PROBLEM IS VERY RANDOM. THIS CONDITION MY ONLY HAPPEN ONCE A MONTH OR IT COULD BE SEVERAL TIMES IN A ROW. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR IN SEVERAL TIMES. THEY DID A SOFTWARE TRANSMISSION UPDATE. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN ON APRIL 3, 2019 AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I ALSO DRIVE THE CAR THE NEXT DAY WITH THE DEALER'S SERVICE REP. IT DID HAVE A SLIGHT LOOSE OF POWER BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEAR BUT WE COULD NOT GET TO REPEAT THE HARD JERKING CONDITION THAT I WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT. THE DEALER CHECK WITH CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT DO NOT HAVE A REPAIR...

WHEN ACCELERATING THE VAN JERKS THEN PICKS UP MORE SPEED. SOMETIMES WHEN PRESSING THE GAS PEDAL FROM PARK IT TAKES A WHILE TO START MOVING. THE SHIFTER GETS SUCK AND THE DOESNT GET OFF THE EMERGENCY BRAKE.

WHEN TAKING OFF FROM A COMPLETE STOP - AFTER CAR IS WARMED UP - AT A LOW SPEED, CAR IS UNABLE TO SHIFT FROM 1ST AND WHEN IT FINALLY DOES IT SHIFTS SO HARD, JARRING THE CAR, THAT IT FEELS LIKE ANOTHER VEHICLE HAS HIT US FROM BEHIND. USUALLY HAPPENS AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 10-20 MPH. HAPPENS A FEW TIMES A WEEK BUT I CANNOT RECREATE IT ON DEMAND - WHICH IS WHAT THE SERVICE DEPT WOULD LIKE. I HAVE 9000 MILES ON MY VAN AND HAS BEEN HAPPENING INTERMITTENTLY SINCE I PURCHASED IT.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE LUNGED FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING. THE FAILURE OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. WEST HERR CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM OF LOCKPORT (6200 S TRANSIT RD, LOCKPORT, NY 14094, (716) 239-4769) DIAGNOSED THE VEHICLE, BUT COULD NOT FIND A FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 20,000. *TR

VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. TURNED RIGHT ONTO HIGHWAY 122 AND AT 17 MPH THE VEHICLE HESITATED AND VIOLENTLY SHIFTED HARD INTO GEAR. WE FEEL THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN COMPROMISED BECAUSE OF THE UNPREDICTABILITY OF SHIFTING

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES. VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. WAS ACCELERATING FROM A STOP AND ACTED LIKE IT DROPPED OUT OF GEAR AND SLAMMED BACK INTO GEAR VIOLENTLY. THIS HAS CAUSED US TO LOOSE CONFIDENCE AND HAVE SAFETY CONCERNS ABOUT OUR VAN.

TRANSMISSION SHIFTING ISSUES. AFTER COMING TO A COMPLETE STOP, I ACCELERATED AND AT 36 MPH THE TRANSMISSION ACTED LIKE IT DROPPED OUT AND BACK INTO GEAR MAKING A NOISE. THIS CONTINUED ISSUE HAS CAUSED AN EROSION IN OUR TRUST IN THE VAN TO SAFELY PROVIDE TRANSPORTATION FOR OUR FAMILY.

WHILE IN CONTINUOUS ACCELERATION, 13MPH THE TRANSMISSION STRUGGLED TO SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR THRUST FORWARD AND SHIFTED FORWARD. SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN REDUCING SPEED. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE

I AM CLEARLY HAVING TRANSMISSION ISSUES. AT 45,000 MILES, I HAVE TAKEN THE VAN IN TWICE SO FAR AND NO SOLUTION IS SUCCESSFUL. FIRST SERVICE WAS TO ADDRESS THE TRANSMISSION RECALL WHICH WAS MERELY A SOFTWARE MODIFICATION. THIS DID NOT FIX THE ISSUE. I TOOK IT IN AGAIN AND THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT COULD NOT REPLICATE THE ISSUE. I AM GETTING A MAJOR KICK IN THE SHIFTING DURING LOW SPEED MOVEMENT. IT HAPPENS AROUND 15 MPH WHEN ACCELERATION HOLDS STEADY. IT IS A VIOLENT KICK AS IF ANOTHER VEHICLE HAS HIT THE REAR OF OUR VAN. THIS IS NOT OK, NOR DOES IT SEEM HEALTHY FOR THE STATE OF THE REST OF THE MOVING PARTS ASSOCIATED. THE OTHER ISSUE IS WITHIN THE FRONT SUSPENSION. OVER EVEN THE SMALLEST OF BUMP OR UNEVEN ROAD SURFACE, IT FEELS AS IF SOMETHING IS LOOSE. I HAD IT INTO THE SHOP TO CHECK THE STRUTS,...

WHILE IN CONTINUOUS ACCELERATION, 13MPH THE TRANSMISSION STRUGGLED TO SHIFT BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR THRUST FORWARD AND SHIFTED FORWARD. SAME THING HAPPENS WHEN REDUCING SPEED. IT HAPPENS EVERY DAY AND EVERY TIME I ACCELERATE.

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH OUR VAN, AND ACCELERATED AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. WHEN THE VAN REACHED ABOUT 36 MPH, THE VAN ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHIFT AND IT DROPPED OUT OF GEAR AND BACK INTO GEAR MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP WITH OUR VAN, AND ACCELERATED AWAY FROM A STOP SIGN. WHEN THE VAN REACHED ABOUT 37 MPH, THE VAN ACTED LIKE IT WAS GOING TO SHIFT AND IT DROPPED OUT OF GEAR AND BACK INTO GEAR MAKING A CLUNKING NOISE

WHEN ACCELERATING FROM A STOP OR FROM A VERY SLOW SPEED (AROUND 0-5 MPH APPROXIMATELY), THE TRANSMISSION WILL JERK VERY HARD - ALMOST FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE BEEN HIT IN THE REAR AND THEN WHEN YOU APPLY THE ACCELERATOR, THE VAN WILL NOT MOVE FOR A FEW SECONDS, LIKE IT ISN'T GETTING FUEL OR SOMETHING. THEN AFTER A FEW SECONDS, IT WILL JUST TAKE OFF LIKE NORMAL. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3 TIMES IN ONE WEEK. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS AS IT COULD HAPPEN WHEN YOU'RE IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION.

OUR PACIFICA ROUGHLY JOLTS FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING TO ABOUT 15MPH JUST AFTER BEING STOPPED. IT FEELS LIKE BEING HIT HARD FROM BEHIND. IT HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE FOR OVER 9 MONTHS NOW. I HAVE YOUNG CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND IT IS VERY SCARY.

I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE YESTERDAY EVENING (3/09/19) AND LEFT THE DEALERSHIP TO GO GRAB DINNER ABOUT 1/2 MILE AWAY. WHILE SITTING AND WAITING ON OUR FOOD MY CAR LOST ALL POWER THEN TURNED RIGHT BACK ON BY ITSELF. UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALERSHIP WAS ALREADY CLOSED AS WE HAD BEEN THERE 30-45 MIN AFTER THIER CLOSING TIME AND EVERYONE LEFT AT THE SAME TIME WE DID SO I COULD NOT GO BACK IMMEDIATELY. WE DROVE THE VAN HOME (1HR AWAY) THEN THIS MORNING ON OUR WAY TO CHURCH I HAD 3 MORE OF THESE INCIDENTS. IT HAPPENED ONCE WHILE STOPPED AND 2 MORE TIMES WHILE DRIVING AT 20-40 MPH. WE NOW HAVE A SERVICE LIGHT (A!) COMING ON AND IT SAYS STOP/START UNAVAILABLE.

2017 PACIFICA CONTINUES AFTER MULTIPLE ATTEMPTS TO REPAIR TO DROP/SLIP OUT OF GEAR WHILE DRIVING WITH NO WARNING AND THEN SUDDENLY THRUSTS BACK INTO GEAR CAUSING THE ENTIRE CAR TO JERK FORWARD AS THOUGH WE HAVE BEEN HIT FROM BEHIND. THESE ISSUES HAPPEN UNDER 20MPH AND THERE IS NO WAY TO CONTROL WHAT IS HAPPENING. OUR NECKS ARE FORCED FORWARD AND THE SUDDEN SHOCK OF THE MOVEMENT FORWARD IS NOT POSSIBLE TO STOP. THE PROBLEM BEGAN IN DECEMBER OF 2017 AND AFTER 4-5 VISITS TO THE SERVICE I STILL HAVE NO RESOLUTION 2 YEARS LATER.

THE PACIFIACA WILL STALL ON YOU IIN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC WHILE YOUR DRIVING IT WHICH CAN CAUSE A SERIOUSLY BAD ACCIDENT. AND WHEN IT DO THIS THEN IT TAKE OFF WHICH CAN CAUSE YOU TO HURT SOMEONE AS WELL. VERY UNSAFE I'VE TAKEN IT IN DO THE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASE IT THEY SAID IT WAS RECALL THIS THE 4X I TAKEN IT IN FOR THE SAME THING. NOW THE REAR DOORS FROM TIME TO TIME WILL OPEN. AS OF TODAY I ONLY HAVE CAN USE ONE REAR DOOR THE OTHER DOOR DO OT OPEN AT ALL. I'M TERRIFY OF DRIVNG THIS VAN. I'VE HAVE SPOKEN TOO SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS WHO'S ALSO GOING THROUGHT THE SAME THING WILL SOMEONE PLEASE LOOK INTO THE PACFICIA MORE CLOSELY THISNIS A DEATH TRAP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE MADE A LOUD ABNORMAL NOISE AND JERKED VIOLENTLY. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURES OCCURRED AT LEAST FIVE TIMES. THE CONTACT PLANNED TO TAKE THE VEHICLE TO LARRY H. MILLER CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM SURPRISE (13165 N AUTOSHOW AVE, SURPRISE, AZ 85388) WHERE THEY WOULD CHANGE THE OIL AND UPDATE THE COMPUTER SOFTWARE. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN CONTACTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 13,000.

VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN, TOOK A RIGHT TURN AND THE VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR, THEN SHIFTED HARD BACK INTO GEAR. THIS OCCURRED AT APPROXIMATELY 13 MPH.

VEHICLE WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP. ACCELERATED VEHICLE FROM A STOP WHILE MAKING A RIGHT HAND TURN ONTO A HIGHWAY. VEHICLE ACTED LIKE IT SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND VIOLENTLY WENT BACK INTO GEAR. THIS HAPPENED AT 12 MPH

ACCELERATING IN THE VEHICLE TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS WHEN THE VAN ACTED LIKE IS SLIPPED OUT OF GEAR AND WENT BACK INTO GEAR HARD AT 36 MPH

THE TRANSMISSION IS SHIFTING INTO GEARS INCREDIBLY HARD. SOMETIMES IT MAKES A "BANG"/"THUNK" AND WHEN THIS OCCURS, IT LURCHES THE WHOLE CAR FORWARDS. IT HAPPENS INTERMITTENTLY WHEN THE VAN IS GOING FROM PARK TO REVERSE, IT HAPPENS QUITE OFTEN WHEN I AM ACCELERATING AT SPEED UNDER 30 MPH AND FREQUENTLY HAPPENS WHEN SPEED IS DOWN SHIFTING FROM SPEED UNDER 30 MPH. IT ALSO HAS OCCURRED A FEW TIMES AT SPEED OVER 40 MPH.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS, WHILE DRIVING 55-65 MPH, THE VEHICLE JERKED AND VIBRATED ABNORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO WHITE PLAINS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE (LOCATED AT 70 WESTCHESTER AVE, WHITE PLAINS, NY 10601, (914) 618-4521) TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 16,000.

OUR 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS BEEN JERKING INTO GEAR AND WON'T ACCELERATE AND THEN AFTER A FEW MOMENTS, IT DOES. THE JERKING FEELS AS IF SOMEONE JUST HIT YOU FROM BEHIND AND YOU STALL BEFORE BEING ABLE TO ACCELERATE. THIS ALWAYS HAPPENED WHILE IN MOTION FLAT ROAD, INCLINE, OR DOWN HILL. WHEN WE CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND TOOK IT IN AND INFORMED THEM OF THE ISSUE, THEY SAID THEY DIDN'T SEE A PROBLEM. NOW, WE HAVE AN UNKNOWN MESSAGE THAT SAYS "SERVICE SHIFTER". THIS CAME AFTER THE VAN WAS SITTING AND WE GOT IN TO START THE VEHICLE. IT WOULDN'T START. HAD TO WAIT FOR A TOW. THE POWER WINDOWS, DOORS, HATCH WON'T WORK BUT THE RADIO AND COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEMS WORK FINE.

WE HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR 2 MONTHS, ON TWO OCCASIONS WE HAVE HAD THE TRANSMISSION APPEAR TO GET STUCK IN A LOW GEAR AFTER STARTING FROM STOP IN CITY TRAFFIC, THE RPM'S GO UP, ENGINE REVS, CARS WILL NOT ACCELERATE, THEN GOES INTO GEAR AND DRIVES. BOTH TIMES WE HAD PULLED OUT INTO TRAFFIC AND COULD NOT ACCELERATE. ON ANOTHER OCCASION WHILE GOING THROUGH AN INTERSECTION AROUND 10-15 MILES PER HOUR THE VEHICLE JERKED INTO GEAR AGAIN, WOULDN'T ACCELERATE, AFTER RELEASE THE ACCELERATOR THE VEHICLE JERKED AGAIN AND THEN DROVE NORMALLY. THIS HAS ALSO HAPPENED 4 TIMES WHILE DRIVING THROUGH PARKING LOTS. IT FEELS AS THOUGH YOU HAVE BEEN HIT OR HIT SOMETHING. NO CODES CAME UP AND DEALER CAN'T DUPLICATE THE ISSUE.

THERE WAS A RECALL DUE TO THIS VEHICLE HARD SHIFTING. I HAVE HAD THIS FIXED THREE TIMES AND IT IS HARD SHIFTING AGAIN. THE VEHICLE LURCHES FORWARD AND SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE IT WILL STALL OUT COMPLETELY. IT OCCURS WHEN ACCELERATING, ESPECIALLY AFTER STOPPING. IT IS WORSE WHEN SHIFTING FROM THE LOWER GEARS WHEN THE VEHICLE JUST BEGINS TO ACCELERATE, HOWEVER IT ALSO OCCURS WHILE SLOWING DOWN TO TURN. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM THAT MONITORS THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. IT OFTEN SHOWS TO BE IN THE NEGATIVE DEGREES. THIS CAUSES THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT TO COME ON. THIS HAS ALSO BEEN FIXED BY MY DEALERSHIP BUT IT HAS CONTINUED TO OCCUR.

I WAS AT A COMPLETE STOP AT A STOP SIGN ON A FRONTAGE ROAD WAITING TO TURN RIGHT ONTO HIGHWAY 122 IN MASON CITY IOWA. I THEN ACCELERATED AND TURNED RIGHT. AS THE VAN REACHED 17 MPH, THE VAN ACTED LIKE THE TRANSMISSION SLIPPED INTO NEUTRAL FOR A PERIOD OF APPROXIMATELY FIVE SECONDS, AND THEN VIOLENTLY SLAMMED BACK INTO GEAR. DURING THIS TIMEFRAME, ANOTHER VEHICLE APPROACHED RAPIDLY FROM BEHIND AND ALMOST COLLIDED WITH THE REAR OF OUR VAN. OUR VAN HAD ALSO HAD THIS SAME OCCURRENCE AT 36 MPH. OUR LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE HAS BEEN NOTIFIED OF THIS ISSUE SEVERAL TIMES AND WE WERE TOLD IT WAS NORMAL OPERATIONS

MY ISSUES STARTED WHEN MY AUTO START/STOP STOPPED WORKING. I TOOK IT IN TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THE ACCESSORY BATTERY WAS DEAD AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE A REPLACEMENT IN. THAT IT WAS IN BACKORDER. THEN MY MAIN BATTERY WENT DEAD. I HAD TO HAVE MY VEHICLE TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. THEY REPLACED MY MAIN BATTERY AND AGAIN THEY MADE MENTIONED THAT THE AUTO START/STOP DIDN'T WORK. I SAID I KNOW THE ACCESSORY BATTERY IS DEAD AND THAT IT WAS ON BACKORDER. I WAS TOLD TO BRING THE VAN BACK IN THE FOLLOWING WEEK AND THEY WOULD TEST THE ACCESSORY BATTERY AGAIN AND REPLACE IT IF WAS BAD. TOOK THE VAN BACK. THEY SAID IT WASN'T THE BATTERY THAT SOMETHING WAS WRONG ELECTRICAL BECAUSE TOO MANY VOLTS WAS BEING OUTPUTTED. AT THIS TIME I MADE MENTION OF THE POWER STEERING ISSUE. I GOT A WARNING LIGHT SAYING IT WASN'T...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION MALFUNCTIONED WHEN SWITCHING BETWEEN FIRST AND SECOND GEARS. THE FAILURE CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO FORCEFULLY ACCELERATE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO VIDEON CHRYSLER (4951 WEST CHESTER PIKE, NEWTOWN SQUARE, PA) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE TRANSMISSION VALVE BODY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000.

THIRD POST OF SAME COMPLAINT. COMING FROM TURNS OR WHEN SHIFTING IN LOW SPEED, THE VEHICLE RANDOMLY STALLS UPON ACCELERATION THEN SLAMS INTO GEAR, CAUSING THE ENTIRE VEHICLE TO JOLT. HAVE TAKEN VAN TO ORIGINAL PURCHASING DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES (10+) IN THE PAST YEAR AND A HALF, AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CANNOT FIND A PROBLEM. THIS CATEGORY HAS THE MOST COMPLAINTS ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE ALL OF VERY SIMILAR ISSUE ' SOMETHING MUST BE DONE FROM CHRYSLER.

VEHICLE HAS GOTTEN THE UPDATE TO START. WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE HAD A HARD SHIFT OR JERK AS IF GOTTEN HIT FROM BEHIND WHILE GOING ABOUT 25 ON A SIDE STREET AFTER TURNING ONTO STARTED TO PICK UP SPEED. THIS HAS HAPPENED A COUPLE TIMES. NO WARNING LIGHTS HAVE COME ON.

STARTED TO PULL ONTO WILLIARD NORRIS ROAD IN MILTON FLORIDA, WHEN I DEPRESSED FOOT PEDAL TO ACCELERATE NOTHING HAPPENED FOR 2-4 SECONDS AND TRANSMISSION KICKED IN TO GEAR VIOLENTLY @ 14 MPH, AND AGAIN AT 32 MPH. LOG TRUCK WAS BEHIND ME WHEN IT OCCURRED. CONTACTED DEALER AND TOOK FOR REPAIR .COULD NOT FIND ISSUES ON COMPUTER SYSTEMS. HAS HAPPENED FOR PAST 6 MONTHS, BUT TODAY WAS LIFE ENDANGERING AND I DON'T FEEL SAFE OPERATING VEHICLE

THIS IS MY SECOND, POSSIBLY THIRD TIME REPORTING A SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM WITH THIS VAN. I HAVE LOST POWER WHILE TRYING TO ACCELERATE MULTIPLE TIMES. TODAY I LOST POWER WHILE ACCELERATING, THE VEHICLE REVVED AND RPM WENT UP TO ABOUT 6000, NO POWER WAS GOING TO THE ENGINE AND I WAS UNABLE TO ACCELERATE, THEN FULL POWER WENT TO ENGINE AND THE VAN LUNGED FORWARD AND GAINED SPEED. THE ACC CRUISE CONTROL LIGHT ALSO WENT ON. I DID NOT LOSE POWER STEERING AND I AM NOT SURE IF THE ENGINE TURNED OFF. DUE TO SO MANY PROBLEMS OCCURRING WHILE DRIVING, I FREQUENTLY RECORD MY DRIVES- I WAS ABLE TO CAPTURE THIS ON VIDEO. THE VIDEO ONLY SHOWS MY DASH AND DOES NOT DO IT JUSTICE, BUT SHOWS THE RPM, VEHICLE SPEED SLOWING, AND THEN ACCELERATING. I HAVE A FEW MORE VIDEOS WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS, BUT THIS IS ONE OF THE FEW...

WHILE DRIVING VAN EXPERIENCES A HARD SHIFT INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS CAUSES A LOSE OF POWER AND THE A JERK. I HAVE ALMOST GOTTEN HIT FROM BEHIND. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON THE ROAD, PARKING LOT AND GETTING ON INTERSTATE. VAN HAS BEEN IAT DEALER FOR ABOUT A MONTH, JUST RETURNED TO ME. CHRYSLER IS SAYING THIS IS A NORMAL CONDITION. COMPLETELY NOT SAFE TO DRIVE TO ME OR MY FAMILY. THIS HAS BEEN INTO THE DEALER SEVERAL TIMES FOR SAME PROBLEM SINCE MARCH. ON MY WAY HOME FROM DEALER IT HAPPENED TWO MORE TIMES.

HARSH SHIFTING DURING FORWARD MOTION BETWEEN 1ST AND 2ND GEARS IN 9 SPEED AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT AND CAN HAPPEN UNEXPECTEDLY REGARDLESS OF AMBIENT CONDITIONS OR DISTANCE DRIVEN. ENGINE RPMS RAPIDLY INCREASE BEFORE ABRUPT AND JARRING SHIFTING OCCURS. HAS CURRENT SOFTWARE INSTALLED, NO CODES ARE GENERATED. OUR DEALERSHIP HAS LOOKED INTO IT AND SUGGESTS A SOFTWARE UPDATE MAY BE AVAILABLE IN THE FUTURE TO ADDRESS THIS, BUT NOTHING AVAILABLE YET. MAY POTENTIALLY CAUSE LOSS OF TRACTION ON UNFAVORABLE ROADS. ACTUAL CAUSE IS UNKNOWN

VEHICLE SHUT OFF ON MY 7 TIMES ALREADY 2 ON HIGHWAY AND 5 ON STREETS. 2 ON HIGHWAY WAS DRIVING AROUND 65 MPH WHEN DASH WENT OFF ALL LIGHTS WENT OFF NO POWER STEERING OR HAZARD LIGHT FUNCTION. HAD TO PULL OVER TO MEDIAN AT A COMPLETE STOP. THE OTHERS WERE VARIANT FROM COMING TO A STOP ALL THE LIGHTS SHUT OFF THE GAUGE NEEDLES WENT CRAZY. AND THE OTHERS WERE DRIVING AT LOWER SPEEDS. THE WORSE IS TRYING TO MUSCLE ONTO A PARKING LOT OR MEDIAN WITH NO POWER STEERING OR LIGHTS

FIRST THE DRIVERS SIDE FRONT STRUT IS MAKING NOISE ALREADY HAS BEEN TO DEALER FOR IT STILL DOING SAME THING. HATCH DOESN'T OPEN ALL THE TIME, PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR MAKING NOISE BOTH ISSUES TAKING TO DEALER STILL NOT RIGHT AND MAKING NOISE, DRIVERS SIDE SLIDING DOOR JUST CLOSED. WHILE DRIVING CAR CAR WILL JUST NOT GO AT ALL DEALER DID SOFTWARE ON IT AND IT'S STILL DOING SAME THING. DEALER HAD MY CAR FOR WELL OVER A WEEK FOR IT TO BE DOING THE SAME THING HAVE ANOTHER APPOINTMENT MONDAY 12/10/18 . I HATE THIS CAR WISH I KEPT MY OTHER ONE.

WHILE TRAVELING AT LOW SPEEDS, ESPECIALLY WHEN MAKING TURNS/ COMING OUT OF PARKING LOTS, OUR CHRYSLER PACIFICA WILL STALL. IT DOES A HARD SHIFT AND JOLTS FORWARD, AS IF A GEAR HAS SLIPPED OR WE HAVE BEEN REAR-ENDED. THE FIRST TIME WE TOOK IT IN FOR THIS ISSUE WAS IN SEPTEMBER OF 2017 WHEN THE CAR HAD ABOUT 32,000 MILES. NUMEROUS 'SOFTWARE UPDATES' HAVE BEEN DONE AND A VALVE THROTTLE BODY WAS PUT ON IN JUNE 2018 TO TRY AND RESOLVE THE ISSUE AFTER MANY FORMER ATTEMPTS. IT WORKED FOR A COUPLE MONTHS, BUT NOW WE ARE EXPERIENCING THE STALL/ HARD SHIFT AGAIN. CHRYSLER'S CUSTOMER CARE HAS BLANTANTLY DENIED ME THE OPPORTUNITY TO SPEAK TO SUPERVISORS AND POINTS THE FINGER AT THE DEALERSHIP, WHILE THEY POINT FINGERS AR CHRYSLER. THE CAR IS 2 YEARS OLD AND DOESN'T GIVE ME ANY HOPE OF EVER REALLY BEING FIXED. WE HAVE BEEN METICULOUS...

THE TRANSMISSION SLIPS OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN 1ST AND SECOND GEAR MOMENTARILY BEFORE SLAMMING BACK INTO 2ND GEAR. THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE. WE HAVE TAKEN THE VEHICLE INTO DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES AND EACH TIME HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM OR THAT THE TRANSMISSION IS FINE. THE MOMENTARY LOSS OF MOMENTUM IS INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS WHEN TURNING INTO ACTIVE TRAFFIC LANES. A CURSORY SEARCH OF THE INTERNET WILL SHOW THAT THIS PROBLEM IS RAMPANT AND THAT CHRYSLER CONTINUES TO FAIL TO ADDRESS THE ISSUE.

HARD SHIFTING - GOING FROM 2ND TO 3RD GEAR THE VAN FEELS LIKE IT WANTS STALL OUT AND THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN A HARD JERK(FEELS LIKE YOU WERE HIT FROM BEHIND) THEN A LOUD KNOCK AND IT DROPS INTO GEAR AND TAKES OFF. MOST OFTEN HAPPENS WHEN IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC. SOMETIME HAPPENS WHEN JUST TAKING OFF FROM A RED LIGHT. I HAVE BROUGHT THE VAN INTO THE DEALERSHIP OVER 8 TIMES IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS, WE HAVE BEEN ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM WITH THE MECHANIC AND CHRYSLER CARE FIRST TELLS ME IT IS THE ADAPTIVE TRANSMISSION CONTROL TRYING TO ADAPT TO MY DRIVING HABIT SO ITS THE WAY I DRIVE, THEN THEY TELL ME THAT IS THE WAY THE VAN WAS DESIGNED TO OPERATE SINCE WE ABLE TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM IN THE SAME VAN BUT A BRAND NEW MODEL THAT WAS ON THE LOT....
