2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Unknown Or Other Problems

Twice while driving the van shut down and came to a stop. The van jerked and was in park. I was able to push start it back on. Both incidents have happened in the last 2 weeks with all 3 of my children in the car on a busy intersection. Last one happened on 12/26/22 while driving 25-30 miles and hour. This van only has 41,000 miles on it and has NO warning light indicators on. I am taking my van into a dealership tomorrow 12/28/22 in Vancouver, Wa. to get it looked at. I no longer feel safe in my vehicle. This is my main source of transportation and I take the highway everyday to work. I have no idea what could cause this, but I have seen this is a problem in the 2017 models.

The car stalls out In midst of driving and will not accelerate, than it will with a hard jerk try to accelerate again, at first I thought it was bad gas, then I noticed it more and more which prompted me to look it up and see that it’s a recall for that specific problem that I’m having but my vent number has No recall although I’m experiencing that same issue with my vehicle

I drive my daughter's van to transport my 3 years old autistic grandson to preschool and I have experienced several problems. 6 times the van died when I accelerated from a stopped position. Once I was turning onto a highway. The passenger-side sliding door opened while I was driving. The passenger front window has opened 2 different times. The lights on the dash go out while driving. The transmission will slam into another gear jerking you. The hatchback door on the back has closed on my daughter and her baby. She has 4 kids 5 and younger that she drives in this van. It scares me to drive it. She has taken it to 2 different places to get it looked at and they couldn't identify the problem. From what I have read this happens a lot with the van.

'Engine failure and needs replacement of head gasket. Never overheated. Also excessive "bucking" feels and sounds like you are being rear ended. Causes car to bang and lunge forward. Was repaired once before , dealer stated it was a software issue. Problem continues and gives you back pain and wiplash type sensation as it is a very abrupt and strong occurance. Now engine has failed and needs head gasket repaired for over $3000.

The problem began with an engine light and gave a P0303 code. We made an appointment with the dealer but the starter went out before it could be solved. After repair the service manager noticed a hint of white smoke from the tail pipe. After we received it, we took a short trip on the freeway and had the temperature shoot up and a horrible burning smell came in the cabin. We pulled over and got to a gas station. The coolant reservoir was empty so we filled it. On the way home the engine light came on and the next day we took it to a local shop. They confirmed it was the head gasket leaking coolant into cylinder 5. A code reader pointed to cylinder 3 with only a misfire but in reality you are losing coolant at a high rate. The mechanic will notify our warranty company...

My vehicle stalled without warning while driving. I lost power steering and everything shut down. I had to put it in park which wasn’t registering and shut off my vehicle and restart it for it to correct itself.

Auto Start/Stop function failed, at a red light the car engine auto stopped but when brake was released after the light turned green the car stalled and had to be turned off and back on. It restarted on the first try and the lane sense function turned off when the car restarted but no check engine lights came on. This was unsafe For the car to have to be turned off completely and restarted after a light had turned green and there was traffic waiting behind me. Thankfully the cars behind me were stopped but if someone had been just pulling up behind me and expected me to move forward when the light turned green they may not have stopped fast enough to prevent an accident, which could have put the safety of my children in the back seats at significant risk. On a separate occasion this happened at a...

I took my vehicle in to have the computer reset as the recall fix required after my start/stop unavailable warning came up for the second time. First time I had to replace both batteries. About 6 months ago if that. Took it in with the check engine light having popped on saying it's a misfire. Then when we left the stop start failure was still lit up on the dash and there were more codes popping up including one for the shift module which is electronic.. so I believe the electronic system is causing the misfire. I don't even have 100,000 miles and my car is about 5 years old. (2017) We were traveling on a busy highway when the check engine light came on to start with and exited to turn around and head home when the van felt like it was getting sluggish and we luckily were not...

I have noticed for a while off and on that the transmission will jolt when driving. Feels like a hard shifting. It is getting worst to the point that I'm afraid to drive it as feel it may stall. Going up gradual incline have to press hard to get speed up. This can happen at any speed. In town normally driving 35-45 mph. My VIN shows there has been no recalls but this appears to be a known issue via complaints I have sent. Is there a recall? Would dealership know about this issue [XXX]? Is it safe to drive? I have not contacted the dealership yet. Thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

We stopped at a rest stop on the NJ Turnpike (Mile Post, 92.9 NJ Tpke, Woodbridge, NJ 07095). After about 10 minutes we returned to the car and noticed a little bit of white smoke coming from the hood (approximate location 12-volt battery). Due to the color of the smoke thought was the radiator. I popped the hood from the car to inspect and at moment about to lift the hood, small flames came from between the hood and windshield. We then backed away from the car and called 911. Within minutes the car was consumed by large flames and the fire department had to extinguish the flame. NJ State Police said the cause would not be investigated due to arson not being suspected. Luckily no cars were parked close to us so no cars were damaged. There were no warning lights or messages in the car prior. The car...

The following issues have occurred about six times in the last two months. While driving down the road, the car will suddenly and without warning die, and all power is lost. The car automatically shifts to park, and because there is no power, I cannot restart the car. The fact that I cannot turn on my hazard lights is also a safety issue. When this happens, I am usually going a slow speed or idling. Once while going 35 mph, the car’s system blinked but stayed running. About a quarter of a mile down the road, I was pulling into a parking lot when it died. I barely had enough momentum to steer it out of the roadway. Other issues are windows rolling down and doors opening at random times. No service center has looked at my car or reproduced the defect. I have not spoken to the manufacturer at...

Vehicle was misfiring, took it to the mechanic said it was the 3rd cylinder. Had that replaced, but the vehicle continued to have problems. It lost power while driving but I was able to maneuver it off the road. Took it back to the mechanic where he stated the head gasket had busted. There was no sign or indication of the vehicle overheating or anything prior to all of this.

While trying to accelerate after stopping at a red light, engine turned off and a warning message appeared on dashboard saying go to park. Car only re-started after several attempts.

We bought this car used and were unaware of any issues and it didn't show up until we'd had it for almost 3 months. When driving between 15 and 18 mph the car suddenly jerks/jumps while driving sometimes it happens more sometimes less It's random but it seems to happen when coming from a stop and trying to shift to a higher gear. No lights go on doesn't say anything's wrong with the engine It's just random uncontrolled jolts while driving

Took vehicle in for safety recall for stop/start function. Engine light came on stop/start function is no longer working. Dealer says code P0303

The driver’s side passenger door was opened but then failed to close. That is when the sliding door completely broke away from its track & shattered the back window. The door almost injured me & could have seriously injured my younger daughter who was in the vehicle when this failure occurred. Upon looking at the damage afterwards there is significant rust to the components. No warning indicators where on & it will be brought to Monday 7/11/22 to a Chrysler dealership.

RearView Display not working

The vehicle will randomly lose power when going from a stop or low speed and attempting to accelerate. For example, if I am stopped at a red light and start to accelerate once the light turns green, the vehicle will not gain speed. I have to let up off the gas pedal and then I will feel a "jolt" and then the vehicle will pick up speed. The safety of myself, my kids and others were put at risk because I cannot maintain a safe speed while driving. If I am stopped to make a turn, my vehicle has lost power or wouldn't gain speed as I was turning into or merging into oncoming traffic. Also, and the most dangerous, was when I had the vehicle in reverse to pull out of a parking spot at a store. When I attempted to turn the dial knob to "Drive", the vehicle...

Our van shifts really hard at low speeds (around 12-15mph). This happens randomly. We’ve taken to our dealership and they’ve replaced the electronic shift module (I think that’s what they called it) but it’s doing it again. This has been going on for over 3 years!

I have a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. There have been multiple instances recently where my car has stalled and lost power while on the road. There was a recall on it (U01) in 2018, for the powertrain control module because it was stalling and losing power. I completed the recall and did not experience issues again until the last month or so. I had taken my car in for service because it kept lurching forward when trying to accelerate from a stop. They did an update, and since then I have had multiple occasions when I lost power. I took it to the dealership after each instance and it has not been replicated, however they did see the error codes and tried to reset the vehicle. Last week they took the computer back to factory settings to try to fix it. This is a very dangerous situation since my car slows...

As I am driving the vehicle will jerk forward. It feels as if it has been rear ended but no such collision has accrued. It also does this when I am sitting at a red light, then when I begin to accelerate it acts as though it is going to stall.

Delayed engagement and hard shifting when driving in lore stopped. Especially noticeable when driving in there city, stop and go traffic.

Paint bubbling on the hood, possible corrosion. Could lead to further damage and lead to latch failure if it continues to spread.

THIS IS THE 2ND TIME I HAVE REPORTED A COMPLAINT ABOUT THIS NOISE ISSUE. FIRST ISSUE 10/2020. THERE IS A LOUD BUZZ WHEN UNLOCKING THE VAN DOORS. VAN CAN BE ON OR OFF. ALSO MAKES THE NOISE WHEN EXITING THE VAN. IT'S AN INTERMITTENT THING THAT GOES AWAY, LIKE AFTER REPORTING IT AROUND NOV 2020. NOISE BEGAN AGAIN AUG 2021. ANNOYING AND EMBARASSING AS IT CAN BE HEARD FROM OUTSIDE TOO.

I have twin boys, I let them out of their car seats after returning from daycare. I took bags in my house and returned to find my door off the upper track and hanging from the lower attachment causing much stress to the bracket and and scratching my exterior paint. From the door opening and closing so many time off the track. This occurred after my son said he hit that button on the door a few times. This door could of easily fallen off or hurt one of my sons. Very scary! Also I found numerous other Pacifica forums that say the side windows have broken on there vehicles after this same type of event has happened. I am very concerned, this is my daily driver for all 3 of my sons who are all under 4yrs old. This heavy door could of caused serious damage to one of...

My wife said that she was pulling into a parking spot and did not have her foot on the accelerator as she coasted into the spot. The car accelerated by itself she had to step hard on the brake to get it to stop before she hit another car. It was not a problem with a floor mat since they are snapped into place and do not come close to the pedals. I do see that similar problems have been reported on this type of vehicle with no satisfaction received. This incident is the 2nd time it has happened according to my wife. She does most of the driving around town.

The rear lift gate locking mechanism failed while driving causing the lift gate to open in traffic. There is no manual lock or release for the lift gate.

THE MINIVAN SUDDENLY SHUT-OFF WHILE CRUISING AT 45 MILES/HOUR. ALMOST REAR ENDED BY ANOTHER VEHICLE ALONG WARREN ROAD AND WAYNE RD IN WESTAND ,MI. PUSHED THE IGNITION BUTTON AGAIN AFTER CAR IN STOP MOTION. NO MALFUNCTION INDICATOR LIGHT AFTER INCIDENT.

THE BATTERY WON'T STAY CHARGED. I HAVE REPLACE MY BATTERY LAST YEAR

THE PARK ASSIST STOPPED WORKING AND THE VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN TO BE ASSESSED. I CALLED TO CHECK ON THE VEHICLE AND WAS TOLD AN UPDATE NEEDED TO BE PERFORMED TO RESOLVE THE PROBLEM. CHRYSLER HAS IDENTIFIED THIS AS A ISSUE AND ADDED/UPDATED A TECHNICAL BULLETIN FOR A POTENTIAL RESOLUTION OF THE PROBLEM; THIS IS A $185 PROBLEM PRETAX. THE PARK ASSIST FEATURE IS ONLY ACCESSIBLE AT SPEEDS BELOW 8~10 MPH AS IT IS DESIGNED TO DETECT AVAILABLE PARKING SPOTS FOR PARALLEL OR PERPENDICULAR PARKING AND AUTO PARKS THE VEHICLE, WHILE THE DRIVER IS STILL RESPONSIBLE FOR CONTROLLING THE ACCELERATOR AND BRAKE. THIS PROBLEM IS KNOWN BY CHRYSLER AND A RECALL HAS FAILED TO BE DISTRIBUTED TO CUSTOMERS; ALTHOUGH, NOT A SAFETY CONCERN CUSTOMERS PAYED FOR THIS FEATURE AND IT SHOULD NOT STOP WORKING DUE TO A SOFTWARE UPDATE. FURTHER MORE SOFTWARE UPDATES FOR THIS FEATURE SHOULD BE PART OF...

TWO ISSUES. VEHICLE RANDOMLY HARD SHIFTS. SLIDING PASSENGER DOORS WILL RE OPEN AFTER CLOSING

2017 PACIFICA STARTED TO MAKE BUZZING SOUNDS 2 WEEKS AGO. NOISE HAPPENS WHEN EITHER SLIDING DOOR ARE OPENED WHEN VAN IS IN PARK..

I WAS DRIVING WHEN MY CAR SUDDENLY STOPPED AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE TO SHIFT TO START. MY GEAR SHIFT LOCKED AND I HAD TO RESTART THE CAR TO DRIVE.

TRANSMISSION IS FAULTY; WILL OFTEN TIMES STRUGGLE TO ACCELERATE, RESULTING IN A LAG OFF THE START. ALSO EXPERIENCE EXTREMELY HARD SHIFTING DURING ACCELERATION. VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP MULTIPLE TIMES, YET EACH TIME THEY "AREN'T ABLE TO REPLICATE" THE ISSUE; DEALERSHIP ADVISED CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE, BUT THERE IS NO FIX, SO THEY SIMPLY GIVE BACK A DEFECTIVE VEHICLE. THIS ISN'T SAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND IS UNACCEPTABLE; APART FROM THE POWER TRAIN, THERE ARE FURTHER A/C, ELECTRICAL, AND CRAFTSMANSHIP ISSUES, ALL OF WHICH ARE NOW OUT OF WARRANTY, LEAVING US STUCK WITH AN UNRELIABLE & UNSAFE VEHICLE.

ACCELERATING FROM STOP. VEHICLE WILL STALL/LOOSE SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN ENGINE POWER/TRANSMISSION. MULTIPLE EVENTS FROM BOTH STRAIGHT/TURNING SITUATIONS. FOLLOWING LOSE OF ACCELERATION, TRANSMISSION SLAMS BACK INTO ACCELERATING CAUSING LOSS OF CONTROL. STEERING IS AFFECTED DURING EVENT(S).

I JUST BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE 6 MONTHS AGO WITH 18K MILES ON IT. IT IS A 2017, BUT THE 3 YEAR OR 36K MILES WARRANTY RAN OUT IN 2019 BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS MADE IN 2016 EVEN THOUGH THE MODEL WAS 2017. I HAVE 27K MILES ON IT AND ALREADY HAVE TO PAY AN ALMOST $700 REPAIR ON THE FUEL RAIL PRESSURE SENSOR. I WAS TOLD MY VAN COULD SHUT DOWN IF I DIDN'T FIX IT. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, TOLD THEM PARENTS WARNED ME TO GO WITH A TOYOTA AND THE VAN WAS TECHNICALLY NOT EVEN 3 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 36K MILES AND THEY SAID THEY COULD DO NOTHING FOR ME. REALLY WANTED TO BUY US MADE, BUT PRETTY TURNED OFF BY CHRYLSER TO HAVE TO PAY A REPAIR THIS HIGH IN WITH VERY LITTLE MILEAGE. I NOTICED THE ISSUE WHEN MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND...

WHILE TURNING INTO A PARKING LOT THE VEHICLE STALLED OUT

THIS VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT AND COMPLETELY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. NO WARNING OR ANYTHING JUST DRIVING AROUND 50MPH AND EVERYTHING SHUTS OFF AND STEERING LOCKS UP YOU CANNOT CONTROL THE VEHICLE.THEN THE SCREEN POPS UP TELLING YOU TO PLACE IN PARK WHILE YOUR STILL TRAVELING 50MPH. THIS HAS NOW HAPPEND 3 TIMES. IT HAPPENS THE FIRST TIME IN MAY 2019 AROUND 48,000 MILES AND NOW 2 TIME ON JULY 8 2020 AT 74,000 MILES. I HAVE READ SEVERAL ARTICLES ONLINE THAT THIS IS HAPPENING TO ALOT OF THESE VEHICLES AND THERE HAS BEEN OVER 50 COMPLAINTS BUT NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE YET. THIS IS A HIGHLY DANGEROUS VEHICLE TO DRIVE IN. SOMETHING MUST BE DONE TO PROJECT FAMILIES FOR GETTING INJURY'S. LUCKILY THIS HAS HAPPENED TO ME ON SMALLER ROADS AND NOT A HIGHWAY YET! THIS CAN BE DEADLY!

THE VAN WAS PARKED AND THE BACK GLASS SHATTERED BY ITSELF. I WAS JUST SITTING IN THE VAN AND BOOM, GLASS SHATTERED.

TURNING ON YOUR AIR CONDITIONER TO MAXIMUM OFTEN MAY CAUSE BACTERIA GROWTH DUE TO THE EXCESS WATER THAT IS DRIPPING IN YOUR UNIT'S TRUE THAT IN HIGH HUMIDITY ENVIRONMENTS THAT MOLD CAN BUILD ON EVAPORATOR COILS AND CAUSE AN ODOR, ESPECIALLY IF THE VAN SITS FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS BETWEEN DRIVES. I MAKE IT A PRACTICE OF TURNING OFF THE A/C THE LAST FEW BLOCKS ON THE WAY HOME TO BLOW SOME WARM AIR THROUGH THERE TO DRY IT OUT A LITTLE IN THE SUMMER. NONETHELESS, IT IS ALSO POSSIBLE THAT YOU HAVE A DIFFERENT PROBLEM, ESPECIALLY IF ONE OF THE SMELLS YOU DETECTED WAS "VINEGAR." I WONDER IF MAYBE A SMALL ANIMAL/RODENT FOUND THEIR WAY INTO YOUR SYSTEM AND GOT STUCK AND HAS SINCE EXPIRED? IF THE SMELL IS ONLY THERE WHEN YOU FIRST TURN IT ON AND THEN DISSIPATES, THEN THAT SEEMS A LOT LIKE A COMMON...

MY VAN IS CONSTANTLY STALLING... WEATHER ITS ME TAKING OFF AFTER A STOP OR DRIVING THROUGH TOWN MY VAN IS ALWAYS JERKING ME AROUND. I HAVE TAKEN IT TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIMES BUT THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO FIX THE ISSUE. NOW MY VAN WONT START AND MULTIPLE CODES CAME ON WHEN TRYING TO START MY VAN. SOMETHING WITH MY POWERSTEERING BEING LOCKED, SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITI CONTROL, SERVICE ANTILOCK BREAK SYSTEM, PARK BRAKE TEMPORARILY UNAVAILABLE AND POWERSTEERING UNAVAILABLE. *TR

I NOTICED THAT MY VEHICLE PERIODICALLY BUT SPORADICALLY STALLS AT TIME WHILE I AM DRIVING. SOMETIMES IT HAPPENS AS I PROGRESS FORWARD FROM A STOP ( ATOP SIGN OR STOP LIGHT), BUT SOMETIMES IT STALLS WHILE I AM IN TRAFFIC. I AM YET TO NOTICE ANY STALLING WHILE ON THE HIGHWAY. I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICES AND IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT I UPGRADE MY GASOLINE. THE PROBLEM IS MORE FREQUENT NOT THAN IT WAS BEFORE. *TR

TRANSMISSION FEELS LIKE IT IS STALLING AND OR PULSATING. *TR

MANY OTHER DRIVERS COMPLAINING ABOUT SAME ISSUE: 1. DRIVING AT LOW SPEED (10MPH OR LESS) TRANSMISSION DOES A HARD SHIFT AS IF IT WAS TRYING TO ENGAGE 2ND OR 3RD SHIFT. CAR DOES A HUGE BUMP WHEN THE SHIFT IS ENGAGED. 2. AT HIGH SPEED (65MPH ~) IS POSSIBLE TO HEAR A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM LEFT SIDE PANEL / DRIVERS SIDE. THIS IS VERY CONCERNING FOR US. ALREADY HAVE DEALER CHECK THE VEHICLE BUT THEY ALWAYS SAY THEY COULD NOT REPRODUCE THE ISSUE. THIS IS HAPPENING SINCE THE VERY FIRST RECALL FOR THIS CAR. BEFORE THE FIRST RECALL, NO ISSUE.

TRANSMISSION ISSUES ARE OUT OF CONTROL!!! VEHICLE LOOSES POWER AT LOW SPEED THEN LURCHES INTO GEAR THRUSTING FORWARD AT AN ALARMING RATE. THIS HAS PUT US IN DANGER SEVERAL TIMES. CHRYSLER FAILS TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUE SAYING THEY CAN'T RECREATE THE EVENT. ON CHRISTMAS EVE THE TRANSMISSION GAVE OUT COMPLETELY GOING THROUGH A LIGHT ON THE HIGHWAY AND LIGHTS CAME ON AND WERE FLASHING. TOWED IT TO THE SHOP WHERE THEY TOLD US IT NEEDED 'REFLASHED' BASICALLY RECALIBRATED AND THAT EVERY PACIFICA WOULD NEED THIS UPDATE IN ORDER TO CONTINUE DRIVING. THEY ALSO CHARGED US $150 TO DO THIS MANDATORY UPDATE. SOUNDS AS IF THAT SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A RECALL. I'M NOT HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THE VEHICLE IS BACK TO THE SAME ISSUES AND I KNOW IT'S ONLY A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT HAPPENS AGAIN. WE HAVE ALSO HAVE TO REPLACE ALL SPARK PLUGS AND ALL IGNITION COILS AS...

WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE ALL SPARK PLUGS AND ALL IGNITION COILS AS BECAUSE THE VEHICLE JUST BREAKS DOWNS SUDDENLY CAUSE LIGHTS TO COME ON AND BE FLASHING WHILE SHAKING VERY VIOLENTLY AND NOT SHIFTING CORRECTLY. THIS IS USUALLY FOLLOWING THE ISSUES WE HAVE WITH THE TRANSMISSION STALLING AND HARD SHIFTING FORWARD MORE OFTEN THAN USUAL. IT IS UNDERIVABLE IN THIS CONDITION AND REQUIRES A TOW TO THE SHOP. WE ARE TOLD THIS IS NORMAL MAINTENANCE BUT STARTING AT 6,000 MILES HARDLY SEEMS NORMAL. SPARK PLUGS SHOULDN'T EVEN NEED REPLACED UNTIL AT LEAST 100,000 MILES LET ALONE ANY SORT OF COIL.

WHILE VEHICLE IS BOTH STATIONARY AND MOVING THE SHIFT SELECTOR OR DIAL TURNS OFF. YOU CANNOT SEE WHAT GEAR YOU ARE IN WHEN THIS HAPPENS. THE VEHICLE HAS TURNED OFF WHILE IN MOTION! THE TIE RODS ON THIS VEHICLE BROKE AT LESS THAN 20K MILES. THE VEHICLE HAS HAD MULTIPLE RECALLS WHICH HAVE BEEN FIXED BUT CONTINUES TO HAVE INTERMITTENT ELECTRICAL ISSUES. ALL OF THESE HAVE BEEN REPORTED TO CHRYSLER.

VAN STALLS AND JERKS

AUTOMATIC ENGINE SHUTOFF SYSTEM SHUTS OFF VEHICLE ON HILLS CAUSING A ROLLBACK ISSUE, SAFETY PROBLEM. IT ALSO SHUTS OFF DURING HEAVY TRAFFIC HEATING UP VEHICLE CONSIDERABLY. SO FAR TWO DIFFERENT SERVICE DEPARTMENTS CANNOT FIND ANY ISSUES. 3 BATTERIES HAVE BEEN REPLACED IN 2 YEARS TIME. TRANSMISSION POPS IN AND OUT OF GEAR BETWEEN 2ND AND 3RD DURING CITY DRIVING. NO SPARE TIRE!! PATCH KIT, GOOD LUCK USING IT IF YOU HAVE A FLAT.
