2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Unknown Or Other Problems

WHILE DRIVING ON A CITY STREET AT ABOUT 35MPH THE ENGINE STALLED . THE DASHBOARD ALARM WAS BEEPING AND "D" WAS FLASHING. I WAS ABLE TO PULL OVER AND STOP AND THE DASH DISPLAYED THE MESSAGE - PUT IN "P" TO START ENGINE -. CAR DID NOT START THE FIRST TIME I TRIED, THE SECOND TIME IT STARTED. THANKFUL THIS DANGEROUS INCIDENT DID NOT OCCUR WHILE IN HEAVY TRAFFIC OR ON A INTERSTATE....UPDATED 10/30/17 *BF UPDATED 11/06/2017*JS

THIS CAR HAS HAD MULTIPLE STALLS, WHEREAS WHEN DRIVING, THE ENGINE WILL SHUT DOWN AND STEERING BE AFFECTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE MIDDLE OF AN INTERSECTION WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR. THERE ARE NO WARNING SIGNS THAT THIS WILL HAPPEN, THE CAR JUST SUDDENLY BECOMES INOPERABLE. YOU HAVE TO PLACE IN PARK FOR 30 SECONDS AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THIS CAR IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. THE DIAGNOSTIC IS A FUEL PRESSURE SENSOR, BUT FURTHER RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER MAY BE AWARE OF. ..UPDATED 10/25/17 *BF

WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER AND DISPLAYED A MESSAGE "VEHICLE MUST BE IN PARK TO SHIFT" OR SOMETHING ALONG THOSE LINES. LUCKILY THE VEHICLE WAS STOPPED AND NOT MOVING WHEN IT LOST POWER. THIS IS VERY SERIOUS BECAUSE ALL PROPULSION FROM THE VEHICLE WAS LOST. THE CAR DID RESTART AFTER IT WAS SHIFTED INTO P AND THE START BUTTON WAS PUSHED (WITH A FOOT ON THE BRAKE). CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS ISSUE FOR MONTHS NOW VIA THE ONLINE FORUM DISCUSSING THE ISSUE AND APPEARS TO BE DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT PROACTIVELY AND IS CERTAINLY NOT COMMUNICATING ABOUT THE ISSUE WITH ITS CUSTOMERS. ....UPDATED 11/03/17 *BF UPDATED 11/07/2017*JS

1- CRUISE CONTROL CANCEL IS IN THE WRONG PLACE CHANGE IT WITH THE RESUME? 2- HEADLIGHT CONTROL SHOULD BE ON THE OTHER SIDE AS IT CAN BE CHANGED BY MY KNEE? 3- THE ALARM SYSTEM DOESN'T RECOGNIZE MOTORCYCLES AND AS SUCH YOU START TO STOP WATCHING YOUR BACK? 4- BRAKE PEDAL IS TO SMALL AND I FIND MYSELF MISSING IT? 5- THE SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT GO IN AND OUT AUTOMATICALLY.

ITS NEW PACIFICA VAN WITH SAFETY PACKAGE. IT STOPPED SUDDENLY IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD AS IF PARKING BREAK IS APPLIED, IT SHOWED A NUMBER OF WARNINGS INCLUDING PARKING BREAK MALFUNCTION, TRANSMISSION ISSUE, TRACTION CONTROL ISSUE. I PUT FLASHERS ON, TRIED TO STOP AND START THE VEHICLE , IT DID NOT NOT ALLOW ME TO CHANGE GEARS TO DRIVE. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS IF THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENS ON A HIGHWAY , THIS CAN CAUSE SERIOUS COLLISION, MORE DANGEROUS FOR A MINI VAN CARRYING FAMILY

I HAVE NOTICED SEVERAL OTHERS COMPLAINING ABOUT THEY FRONT COLLISION WARNING NOT WORKING. I HAVE TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO GET MINE TO GO OFF AT THE DIFFERENT SETTING. I HAVE DRIVEN OTHER VEHICLES WITH THIS FEATURE AND SO FAR THE PACIFICA HAS NOT ACTED LIKE THOSE. MY WIFE SAID IT HAS WENT OFF TWICE ON HER AND SHE REALLY COULD TELL WHY. I HAVE ALSO SO HAD THE ISSUE WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE REAR DOOR GRINDING FROM DAY ONE. TODAY WHEN WE GOT OUR FIRST OIL CHANGE THEY TOLD US THE BALLING BEARING WAS BUSTED AND WE HAVE TO TAKE IT BACK TO GET IT REPLACED TOMORROW. THE RAIN SENSING WIPER FEATURE DOES NOT WORK, AND IT IS TURNED ON IN THE UCONNECT SETTINGS. ALSO, AFTER ABOUT A MONTH OF OWNERSHIP I NOTICED THAT THE BEEP ON THE REAR GATE AS IT CLOSED CHANGED TO A HIGHER PITCHED MORE ANNOYING...

THE POWER SLIDING SIDE DOORS MAKE A TERRIBLE GRINDING NOISE WHEN OPENING & CLOSING. WE'VE OWNED THE VEHICLE 4 DAYS. FIRST THE RIGHT SIDE DOOR STARTED IN THE MORNING, THE SAME DAY IN THE AFTERNOON THE LEFT SIDE DOOR STARTED. THE SERVICE DEALER CHECKED IT AND COMMENTED THAT THE BEARINGS MIGHT HAVE BROKEN IN THE UPPER TRACT. THEY MADE AN APPOINTMENT TO REPAIR. ALSO THE BLUETOOTH WILL NOT CONNECT. IT IS VERY GLITCHY. IT SOMETIMES SEES THE PHONE, BUT IT CAN NOT BE USED AT ALL AND THE PHONE STATES TO 'MAKE SURE NEARBY DEVICE IS ON, CONNECTION WAS LOST'. THE CAR BLUETOOTH SETTINGS WON'T FORGET THE DEVICE EASILY TO RETRY. TWO SEPARATE PHONE CALLS TO UCONNECT SERVICE ASSISTANCE AND IT STILL WOULD NOT WORK EVEN AFTER TWO DIFFERENT 'SOFT RESETS' AS DIRECTED BY SERVICE. 4 DIFFERENT SMARTPHONES WE'RE TRIED AND EVEN AN IPOD TOUCH. ALL OF WHICH HAD NO...

MY CONCERN IS WITH CHRYSLER'S FCW SYSTEM. THE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK AS DESCRIBED IN THEIR OWNER'S MANUAL BOTH IN CITY AND HIGHWAY DRIVING. SPECIFICALLY IT DOES NOT DETECT, NO MATTER THE SELECTABLE SETTINGS, THAT MY VEHICLE IS APPROACHING A CAR AHEAD DANGEROUSLY. THE SYSTEM IS SUPPOSED TO WARN WITH SOUND, DISPLAY, AND BRAKE NUDGE. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER, THE SYSTEM WILL ONLY WORK AS DESCRIBED IF I AM APPROACHING THE VEHICLE HEAD UNSAFELY WITH MY FOOT STILL PRESSING THE GAS. HOWEVER, EVEN WITH MY FOOT STILL PRESSING THE GAS PEDDLE, THE SYSTEM WILL NOT RESPOND WITH ANY OF THE WARNINGS. I HAVE REPORTED MY CONCERN TO THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE AND THE DEALER SAID THAT THEY CANNOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT MY COMPLAINT SINCE THERE ARE NO TROUBLE SERVICE CODES LOGGED IN THE VEHICLE. THE ACC SYSTEM WORKS AS DESCRIBED IN THE OWNER'S MANUAL. THE FCW...

BACK-UP CAMERA ISSUE - WHEN FIRST STARTING THE CAR, THE REAR VIEW CAMERA REMAINS BLACK (OR VERY FUZZY) ONLY READING "CHECK ENTIRE SURROUNDINGS." I'VE ONLY HAD IT HAPPEN AFTER I FIRST START THE CAR IN THE MORNING, USUALLY WHEN IT'S DARK OUTSIDE. IT'S AS IF IT ISN'T ADJUSTING TO THE LIGHTING OUTSIDE. EITHER WAY, OBVIOUSLY I CAN USE MY MIRRORS, BUT THERE IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN THAT IF IT'S INSTALLED, IT SHOULD WORK PROPERLY.

WHEN MOVING FROM VERY LIGHT TO VERY DARK, OR VERY DARK TO VERY LIGHT, THE CAMERAS ON THE CAR TURN BLACK, MAKING IT IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE ANYTHING. THERE COULD BE A PERSON BEHIND YOU AND YOU'D HAVE NO IDEA. INCREDIBLY DANGEROUS.

BACKUP CAMERA ISSUE: WHEN ENTERING OR EXITING GARAGE IN REVERSE DURING DAYLIGHT HOURS (OR ANY AREA WITH A MODERATE CHANGE IN LIGHTING) THE DEFAULT CAMERA VIEW (TOP[360]& REAR) IS DISPLAYED. THE REAR CAMERA DOES NOT ADJUST TO THE LOWER LIGHT CONTRAST AND THE IMAGE DISPLAYED IS ALL BLACK, YOU CANNOT SEE A THING (SEE PICTURE ATTACHED). THIS COULD LEAD TO SOMEONE OR SOMETHING GETTING RUN OVER. A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE.
