2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Electrical System Problems

VAN WILL STALL DURING LOW SPEED OR IDLE. STABILITY/TRACTION CONTROL WILL FLASH AND VAN WILL NEED TO BE RESTARTED. HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES IN INTERSECTIONS AND ONCE IN STOP AND GO HIGHWAY TRAFFIC.

MY 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA CAR STOPPED WHILE I WAS DRIVING. I HAD SLOWED DOWN TO MAKE A LEFT TURN AND IT SHUT ITSELF OFF. IT QUICKLY FLASHED A MESSAGE ABOUT STABILITY CONTROL AND THEN SHOWED STOP, START, RESTART REQUIRED. THE CAR WAS STILL IN DRIVE. WHEN I TRIED PRESSING THE BRAKE IT WAS VERY HARD AND WOULDN'T MOVE. I PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TRIED SHUTTING IT OFF AND RESTARTING IT, BUT COULDN'T. I HAD A LINE OF CARS BEHIND ME, INCLUDING A SCHOOL BUS AND PUT MY HAZARDS ON. I'M NOT SURE HOW MANY TRIES IT TOOK, BUT I WAS FINALLY ABLE TO GET IT TO START AND DRIVE HOME. I HAVE SINCE DRIVEN THE CAR WITHOUT INCIDENT BUT I AM VERY NERVOUS THAT IT WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. IT SEEMS LIKE A HUGE SAFETY RISK.

WE HAVE A 2018 PACIFICA THAT WE BOUGHT NEW A YEAR AGO. OUR VAN CURRENTLY HAS 8,000 MILES ON IT. MY WIFE RECEIVED A WARNING ABOUT A BATTERY FAULT WHILE SHE WAS TAKING OUR KIDS TO SCHOOL. THE VAN THEN SHUT OFF IN MORNING RUSH HOUR WHILE SHE WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 40 MPH. THE VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER AND ABILITY TO SAFELY STEER AND BRAKE WITH THE ELECTRIC ASSIST. SHE WAS ABLE TO SLOWLY GET THE VAN TO A STOP ON A SIDE STREET. THE VAN IS AT THE DEALER NOW AND THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. I WAS TOLD THE BATTERY APPEARS TO BE TOTALLY FLAT, BUT IF IT WAS JUST A SIMPLE BATTERY REPLACEMENT, WE WOULD HAVE HAD OUR VAN BACK BY NOW.

PROBLEM OCCURS AT SLOW SPEEDS OR WHEN STOPPED. THE CAR COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF. THEN WE HAVE TO QUICKLY SWITCH INTO PARK, RESTART, THEN SWITCH INTO DRIVE. THIS HAS HAPPENED AT LEAST 8 TIMES WHILE DRIVING. IT IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. CHRYSLER SAID TO TURN OF FRONT COLLISION WARNING COLLISION UNTIL THEY HAVE A SOLUTION. SINCE THAT TEMP FIX, THE CAR FAIL 2 MORE TIMES ON 3/6/19. ONCE WHILE MAKING A LEFT TURN IT DIED BEFORE THE TURN WAS COMPLETED, AND ONCE MORE COMING OUT OF A PARKING LOT TURNING ONTO A MAIN ROAD. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED IMMEDIATELY BEFORE SOMEONE HAS A CRASH. THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF. THE CAR IS ONLY A FEW MONTHS OLD AND IT HAS HAPPENED SEVERAL TIMES.

VEHICLE CAME TO A STOP AND THEN SHUTDOWN SUDDENLY. VEHICLE WOULD NOT RESPOND TO INPUT AND CREATED A POTENTIALLY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WE WERE STOPPED IN A DIVIDED MEDIAN WITHOUT POWER. DISPLAY SAYS "FCC SERVICE REQUIRED" AND THEN PROCEEDS TO SAY START/STOP REQUIRED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO DIE. REQUIRED PUTTING THE VEHICLE IN PARK, RESTARTING THE ENGINE, AND THEN PUTTING BACK INTO DRIVE.

THE ENGINE START/STOP FEATURE OF THIS VAN IS FAULTY AND CHRYSLER KNOWS IT. BECAUSE THEY DO NOT HAVE A FIX FOR THIS ISSUE THEY CANNOT PLACE A RECALL. THIS ISSUE IS NOT LIMITED TO MY PERSONAL VAN. OUR PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 13,000 MILES AND HAS BEEN IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT 5 TIMES. 3 FOR THE SAME ISSUE. WE HAVE STALLED OUT IN INTERSECTIONS 4 TIMES. ONE TIME WE (WIFE AND CHILDREN) WERE ALMOST STRUCK BY A TRUCK. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. AGAIN CHRYSLER IS AWARE AND ONLY OFFERED AN EXTENDED SERVICE AGREEMENT.

VEHICLE RANDOMLY LOSES POWER DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD. TRANSMISSION JERKS AND SOMETIMES SHIFTS TO PARK WHILE MOVING.

IN THE FALL, THE ENTIRE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM FAILED LEAVING MY CAR COMPLETELY INOPERABLE. THIS HAPPENED WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE WITH MY KIDS IN THE CAR. THANK GOODNESS WE WERE IN A SAFE NEIGHBORHOOD GOING AT A SLOW RATE OF SPEED.IT TOOK OVER A WEEK TO "FIX" THE PROBLEM AND WAS GIVE A WHOLE NEW "COMPUTER". ON SATURDAY 3-2 AT 10:30 PM, I WAS DRIVING WITH MY CHILDREN ON THE OHIO TURNPIKE GOING 70 MPH WHEN THEN POWER STEERING FAILED. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE ROAD. I DID NOT HAVE CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO LOSS OF STEERING AND HAD TO PULL THE WHEEL HARD TO THE RIGHT TO GET OFF THE ROAD. THANK GOODNESS, I WAS IN THE RIGHT LANE. IF I WERE IN THE LEFT LANE ON THE HIGHWAY, IT WOULD HAVE BEEN POTENTIALLY FATAL. BOTH OCCURRENCES COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS INJURY OR HAVE BEEN FATAL. WE...

ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE VEHICLE HAS STALLED OUT WHILE WAITING FOR STOP LIGHTS AND JUST IN A STOPPED POSITION. IN ORDER TO RESTART THE VEHICLE IT HAD TO BE PLACED IN PARK. IT DOES START IMMEDIATELY HOWEVER IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN LEAVING US TO WONDER IF THIS WILL OCCUR DURING ACTUAL DRIVING.

THE ELECTRONIC AUTO START/STOP IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. WHEN AT A RED LIGHT THE ENGINE SHUTS OFF AND THE CAR DOES NOT START AGAIN WHEN THE GAS IS PUSHED. WE HAVE TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK THEN RESTART THE ENGINE TO PROCEED. CHRYSLER TOLD US THIS MORNING THAT IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE AND ARE WAITING TO SEE IF THERE IS GOING TO BE A RECALL ON IT.

THIS COMPLAINT IS JUST ONE OF MANY I'VE HAD. MOST RECENTLY, I'VE BEEN STALLED WHILE WAITING AT A RED LIGHT (THANKFULLY) ON A CITY STREET. I HAD AN ERROR MESSAGE COME ON SHORTLY FOLLOWED BY A PROMPT TELLING ME THAT START/STOP WAS REQUIRED. SO I HAD TO PUT THE CAR IN PARK, RESTART AND THEN CAR DROVE. THIS HAPPENED TWICE IN ONE DAY AND DEALER COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. LEFT IT HAS PROTOCOL PASSED ALL RECOMMENDED CHECKPOINTS AND THAT AN ENGINEER HAS TO DETERMINE FIX.

MY VEHICLE HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE AT LEAST 4 TIMES FOR THE STALLING ISSUE. I AM EITHER DRIVING AT 24MPH OR LESS AND IT JUST SHUTS OFF. OFF. SOMETIMES IM SITTING AT A LIGHT AND IT SHUTS OFF. I HAVE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED 3 TIMES. POLICE HAVE HAD TO DIRECT TRAFFIC AROUD ME TWICE. MY CHILDREN ARE SCARED TO RIDE IN IT. THE MEDIA DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. A USB PLUG DOESNT WORK THE ONE USED FOR CAR PLAY. THE REAR SENSORS DO NOT ALWAYS WORK. THIS VAN IS CURRENTLY SITTING IN MY GARAGE. USELESS TO ME. I AM NOT PUTTING MY KIDS AT RISK ANY LONGER.

STOP AND START SYSTEM FAILS WITH AN ERROR SAYING THAT THE FEATURE IS UNAVAILABLE BECAUSE THE BATTERY IS BEING CHARGED. THE BATTERY IS NOT FULLY CHARGED EVER.

THIS HAPPENED ON TWO OCCASIONS. I CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, AND THE AUTO START STOP SHUT THE ENGINE OFF LIKE IT'S SUPPOSED TO. HOWEVER, WHEN THIS HAPPENED A BUNCH OF WARNINGS CAME ACROSS MY DASH, SAYING CERTAIN SAFETY FEATURES WERE DISABLED AND THE CAR WOULDN'T RESPOND TO THE GAS PEDAL. I HAD TO PUT THE CAR INTO PARK AND RESTART MY CAR. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER AND THEY COULDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. IT HAPPENED AGAIN AFTER HAVING IT BACK FOR THREE DAYS, AND THEY SAID THERE WAS AN 'UPDATE' FOR IT. HOWEVER WHEN I PICKED UP MY CAR THEY DIDN'T GIVE ME ANY PAPERWORK TO SIGN.

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS THE NAVIGATION SCREEN WOULD GO BLACK OR FREEZE UP. ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS THE UCONNECT THEATER WOULD NOT WORK. EVERYTIME WE TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP SAID IT WAS FINE AND DIDN'T INVESTIGATE THE ISSUE. RECENTLY, WE WENT TO THE STORE MADE SEVERAL STOPS AT DIFFERENT STORES ON OUR LAST STOP THE VAN WOULD NOT RECOGNIZE THE KEYS. WE COULDN'T LOCK OR UNLOCK THE VAN. I HAD TO PULL OUT THE EMERGENCY KEY TO GET INTO THE VAN. ONCE INSIDE THE VAN DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE KEYS. I ENDED UP HAVING TO GOOGLE THE ISSUE FOR A WORK AROUND TO GET HOME. THE ENTIRE RIDE THERE WAS A DISPLAY STATING THAT THE KEY WAS NOT IN THE VEHICLE. WE MADE ON MORE STOP AND AN LEFT THE VAN RUNNING. TEN MINUTES LATER IT RECOGNIZED THE KEY AND A UCONNECT STARTING WORKING AGAIN. THE VAN IS A 2018 AND LESS...

THE CAR WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN OCTOBER OF 2018. TOWARDS THE END OF DECEMBER, THE CAR STOPPED WORKING. LUCKILY, WE WERE AT HOME WHEN THIS HAPPENED, BUT BASICALLY, THE CAR WOULD NOT START DESPITE VARIOUS ATTEMPTS. WE BROUGHT IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP AND IT HAS SINCE BEEN "WORKED ON" FOR THE PAST MONTH, BUT STILL TO GET A DIAGNOSIS....*BF.. *TR

ON SUNDAY JANUARY 13TH WHILE GETTING OFF HIGHWAY LOST POWER STEERING WHILE TAKING EXIT. DUE TO LACK OF POWER STEERING VAN WENT OFF THE ROAD UP AN EMBANKMENT AND DAMAGED VEHICLE. I CALLED CHRYSLER ON 1/14/2019 AND REPORTED ISSUE. CLAIM #57836097. I WAS TOLD THAT SOMEONE FROM INCIDENT REPORTING TEAM WOULD BE CONTACTING ME WITHIN 4-5 DAYS. I HAVE SINCE CALLED THEM AGAIN ON 1/22/2019 AND AGAIN TODAY 1/28/2019. I HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO DRIVE VEHICLE BECAUSE I AM A 100% DISABLED VETERAN AND IN A POWERCHAIR. THE VAN IS CUSTOMIZED FOR MY POWERCHAIR AND MY ONLY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION. THE POWER STEERING KEEPS GOING OUT INTERMITTENTLY AND NOW OTHER ELECTRICAL ISSUES ARE OCCURING NOW AS WELL. THE PASSENGER SIDE WINDOW COMES DOWN ON ITS OWN, TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ON DASH GOES ON AND OFF, STABILITY WARNING FLASHES ON DASH AND OF COURSE POWER STEERING LIGHT COMES ON AND...

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING, MESSAGE DISPLAYED TO TURN OFF CAR AND TURN ON AGAIN BECAUSE OF ELECTRICAL FAILURE. BRAKES LOCK AND CAR STALLS UNTIL VEHICLE IS SET BACK TO PARK AND RESTARTED.

WHILE STOPPED AT A STOP SIGN THE VEHICLE'S AUTO STOP/START FUNCTION DISABLED THE ENGINE AS NORMAL. WHEN I LIFTED MY FOOT OFF THE BRAKE TO ENGAGE ENGINE THE CAR STALLED AND "SERVICE AUTO START/STOP" DISPLAYED ON SCREEN. THEN THE SCREEN INDICATED TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK. AFTER I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK I RESTARTED THE VEHICLE AND OPERATED NORMALLY. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED NEW AND HAS 1,200 MILES ON IT. I WILL BE TAKING THE VEHICLE TO MY DEALER FOR ASSESSMENT.

THE CAR HAS LOST POWER ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS. WHEN STOPPED AT A STOP LIGHT/STOP SIGN CAR SHUTS OFF COMPLETELY AND LOSES POWER. I BROUGHT THE CAR TO THE DEALER LAST WEEK, THEY COMPLETED AN UPDATE- HOWEVER JUST TODAY THE CAR LOST POWER ON A MAIN ROAD WHICH HAPPENS TO BE RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DEALER. I PULLED IN COMPLETELY SHAKEN AS I HAD MY DAUGHTER IN THE CAR AND CARS WERE COMING FROM BEHIND NOT REALIZING I AM STALLED IN THE ROAD. I HAVE LEFT THE CAR AT THE DEALER. IT IS SO DANGEROUS AND SCARY AS I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A FAMILY CAR AND I CAN'T FEEL COMFORTABLE DRIVING IT.

WHILE DRIVING - SLOWING TO A STOP FOR A STOPLIGHT, MY CAR'S COMPUTER SCREENS STARTED FLASHING VARIOUS WARNINGS TO RESTART THE ENGINE. AT THIS POINT, THE CAR WAS NOT RESPONSIVE TO THE GAS PEDAL / WOULD NOT MOVE AND THE POWER STEERING WAS ALSO NOT FUNCTIONAL. I HAD TO PUT ON MY HAZARDS, PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND TURN OFF AND TURN BACK ON THE ENGINE.

WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT IN OUR TOWN THE VAN SHUT OFF AND THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM STARTING SENDING ME MESSAGES ON THE DASHBOARD THAT THE LANE SENSE WAS NOT OPERATING. I HAD MY FOOT ON THE BRAKE AND TRIED SEVERAL TIMES TO MOVE THE GEAR SELECTOR TO PARK BUT IT WAS LOCKED IN PLACE. THE IGNITION SAID IT WAS IN THE RUN POSITION WHICH INDICATES THE CAR SHOULD BE RUNNING BUT IT WAS NOT. THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS FIRM TOO, AS IT WOULD BE WHEN THE CAR IS OFF. FINALLY AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS I WAS ABLE TO MOVE THE GEAR KNOB TO PARK AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN REAR ENDED, THIS WAS VERY SCARY AND UNACCEPTABLE ON CHRYSLER'S PART.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER. IN ADDITION, THE POWER STEERING FAILED AND THE STEERING WHEEL WAS DIFFICULT TO TURN. ALSO, THE EMERGENCY FLASHERS WERE INOPERABLE, THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE INCREASED TO HIGH, AND THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ENGAGE INTO GEAR. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO LANDMARK CHRYSLER DODGE RAM OF ATLANTA (5745 PEACHTREE INDUSTRIAL BLVD, CHAMBLEE, GA 30341, (678) 825-3200) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT TWO BATTERIES FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE CONTACT HAD CONCERNS ABOUT THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THE CONTACT CALLED 911 FOR ASSISTANCE DURING THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS CONTACTED AND PROVIDED CASE NUMBER: 57793693. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 10,000.

WHILE APPROACHING A TRAFFIC LIGHT THE CAR CAME TO A STOP AND COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO TURN SHIFTER OF THE CAR FROM DRIVE TO PARK AND THEN RESTART THE CAR. THIS IS THE 4TH TIME THIS HAS HAPPENED. SCARY TIME AS THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED I WAS MAKING A LEGAL K TURN AND THE CAR SHUT OFF AS I STOPPED THE CAR BEFORE PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE. I WAS T'D IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. THE FIRST TIME OCCURRED WAS 11/23/18 THEN AGAIN 12/18/018, AGAIN 12/21/18 AND TODAY 1/3/2018

WHILE JUST DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY A CONSTANT ALERT BEEPING & 'BRAKE NOW' IS FLASHED ON THE DASHBOARD! SCARES YOU TO DEATH. AND WHEN YOU DO BRAKE AS IT SAYS THAT COULD CAUSE REAR END ACCIDENT. THIS HAS HAPPENED 3TIMES! WHEN VAN IS STARTED THE 2 BACK SLIDING DOORS AND THE BACK HATCH ALL OPEN UP WITHOUT ANY BUTTONS BEING TOUCHED.

WE PURCHASED OUR 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN EARLY OCTOBER 2018 AND HAVE SINCE PUT LESS THAN 3,000 MILES ON THE ODOMETER. TODAY, WHILE DRIVING ON A LEVEL RURAL ROAD NEAR OUR HOME, A COUPLE OF WARNING LIGHTS STARTED FLASHING OUT OF NOWHERE: ONE INDICATING THAT BLIND-SPOT MONITORING WAS DISABLED, AND ANOTHER RE: ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL. NOT LONG AFTER WE STARTED UP A HILL A HALF-MILE LATER, THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED RESPONDING. WE WERE SLOWING DOWN. THEN, THE CAR BASICALLY STALLED AND CAME TO A STOP. MORE WARNING LIGHTS AND SOUNDS CAME ON, INCLUDING A CHECK ENGINE LIGHT, AND ONE INDICATING THAT WE NEEDED TO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION. THEN ON THE DISPLAY ABOVE THE WHEEL, A MESSAGE SAID THAT WE NEEDED TO TURN OFF THE ENGINE TO ENGAGE THE PARKING BRAKE. WE CALLED 911 IN HOPES OF HAVING AN OFFICER HELP DIRECT TRAFFIC WHILE WE WAITED FOR A TOW, AS WE WERE...

WHEN COMPLETING A STOP AT TRAFFIC LIGHTS, THE VEHICLE START/STOP SYSTEM SHUTS OFF THE ENGINE AND WITHOUT WARNING IT HAS NOT RESTARTED AUTOMATICALLY LEAVING US EXPECTING TO TAKE OFF AND HAVING TO PUT THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK WHILE IN TRAFFIC AND THEN RESTART THE ENGINE AND MOVE GEAR SELECTOR BACK TO THE DRIVE POSITION. I'VE NEARLY BEEN REAR-ENDED DUE TO THIS SEVERAL TIMES. I HAVE COUNTED 7 TIMES THIS MALFUNCTION HAS HAPPENED. WHEN CHECKING THE VEHICLE FOR ANY DTC'S THERE HAVE NEVER BEEN ANY.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE'S HORN DID NOT WORK. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC STATED THAT THE HORN WAS BUILT WITHOUT A FUSE AND THAT ONE NEEDED TO BE INSTALLED. WHILE DRIVING AT AN UNKNOWN SPEED, THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO DADELAND CHRYSLER DODGE (16501 S DIXIE HWY, MIAMI, FL 33157), BUT WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS INFORMED AND ASSIGNED A TECHNICIAN. THE FAILURE WAS ESCALATED TO A HIGHER OFFICE OF THE DEALER. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 18,600. ..*BF. *TR *DT 2ND INCIDENT: DEC. 11: TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE AT HOME. CAR WAS TOWED TO DADELAND DODGE WHERE THE AUXILIARY BATTERY WAS REPLACED. 3RD INCIDENT: DEC.19: TOTAL ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHILE PARKED IN GARAGE AT HOME. VEHICLE WAS TOWED AGAIN TO DADELAND CHRYLER. AFTER MUCH RESEARCH THEY REPLACED THE BODY COLTROL MODULE....

AT APPROXIMATELY 130 MILES, THE ELECTRONIC CONTROL MODULE FAILED RESULTING IN ERRATIC ACCELERATION AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL. THE ENGINE WOULD VIOLENTLY GO FROM 0 TO 2000 RPMS WHILE DRIVING.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHEN THE VEHICLE ACCELERATED, THE CONTACT HEARD AN ABNORMAL NOISE AND A WARNING APPEARED, INDICATING TO PLACE THE VEHICLE IN PARK TO RESTART THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE LOST POWER WHEN THE FAILURE OCCURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AND WAS TAKEN TO HANLEES CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (4318 CHILES RD, DAVIS, CA 95618, (530) 757-3770). THE DEALER TEST DROVE THE VEHICLE, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 15,000.

GOING DOWN A HIGHWAY AT 70 MPH THE SERVICE ELECTRONIC THROTTLE WARNING LIGHT CAME ON AND VEHICLE LOST ALL POWER. SYSTEM CAME BACK ABOUT 10 SECONDS LATER. THE SECOND TIME, ABOUT 5 HOURS LATER THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. I COASTED TO AN EXIT PULLED OFF THE HIGHWAY INTO A PARKING LOT AND SHUT OFF ENGINE. I WAS ABLE TO RESTART ENGINE AT THAT TIME AND BROUGHT IT TO THE DEALER WHERE THEY FOUND NOTHING WRONG, THEY WERE UNABLE TO REPLICATE THE PROBLEM AFTER 4 DAYS. ADDITIONALLY THE STOP START WARNING LIGHT CONTINUES TO COME ON. MILAGE OF THE VEHICLE IS 3900 MILES AND IS 3 MONTHS OLD

MY 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA KEEPS STALLING WHILE DRIVING. I FOUND A RECALL FROM 2017 THAT MATCHES MY CAR EXACTLY! RECALL U01. DEALERSHIP AS WELL AS CHRYSLER, KEEP TELLING ME THAT MY VEHICLE YEAR IS NOT AFFECTED BUT MY CAR KEEPS STALLING AT INTERSECTIONS! I HAVE ALMOST BEEN HIT TWO TIMES WITH MY CHILD IN THE CAR. THEY HAVE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR MORE THAN 42 DAYS IN THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT AND SAY THEY CANNOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM IN ORDER TO FIX IT. I EVEN HAVE VIDEO TAPE DOCUMENTING WHAT HAPPENS. IF I STOP AT A LIGHT, OR AM DRIVING VERY SLOW MY VEHICLE SHUTS OFF! AN INDICATOR ON MY DASH STATES TO PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND RE-START IT! THIS IS NOT SAFE WHEN YOU HAVE PEOPLE BEHIND YOU READY TO GO AT A GREEN LIGHT AND YOU ARE STALLED! I REFUSE TO DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON THE ROAD...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS PARKED AND TURNED OFF IN THE DRIVEWAY ON A SLIGHT SLOPE, THE CONTACT REMOTELY OPENED THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR AND RESTED HER RIGHT HAND ON THE DOOR. WHILE RETRIEVING SOMETHING FROM THE BACK OF THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT, THE FRONT PASSENGER DOOR CLOSED AND LATCHED ONTO THE CONTACT'S HAND WITHOUT WARNING.

THE CONTACT WAS NOT INJURED. THE FAILURE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 14,000.

PURCHASED VAN NEW IN AUGUST FROM DULLES MOTORS IN LEESBURGH VA. AT 200 MILES, CAR STARTED IN MY DRIVEWAY, BUT THEN IMMEDIATELY STALLED. VAN TOWED TO DEALERSHIP. DEALER WAS ABLE TO START CAR WITH NO PROBLEM, SO I WAS ASKED TO COME GET IT. A FEW DAYS LATER, FCA ANNOUNCES RECALL U87 FOR PCM PROBLEM. DUE TO A DEFECTIVE VOLTAGE REGULATOR CHIP, THIS VAN, PLUS OTHER CARS IN CHRYSLER'S LINEUP, STALL AFTER STARTING, AND/OR STALL WHILE DRIVING. AS I WRITE THIS ON 9/28/2018, RECALL IS NOT LIVE YET. VAN CONTINUED TO EXPERIENCE STALLING AFTER STARTING ON INITIAL STARTUP IN MORNING. A FEW DAYS AGO, CAR SHUT DOWN WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH IN TRAFFIC. I MADE MY WAY TO SHOULDER OF ROAD. I CAPTURED THE FOLLOWING ON MY CELL PHONE VIDEO: WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH BLINKING. FUEL GAUGE CYCLES FROM FROM EMPTY TO FULL. ODOMETER FLASHES "NO BUS." CAN'T RESTART CAR....

THE FIRST INCIDENT OCCURRED WHEN I WAS IN A PARKING LOT. I GOT INTO MY CAR AND WHEN I WENT TO PRESS THE BRAKE AND PUSH TO START, MY BRAKE WAS LOCKED AND MY COMPUTER STARTED FLASHING SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, PARK BRAKE UNAVAILABLE, ENTER AUTO-THEFT CODE AND OTHER NUMEROUS ERROR MESSAGES. I HAD TO HAVE MY CAR TOWED TO THE CLOSEST SERVICE AND THEY DIDN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG. YESTERDAY I WAS IN TRAFFIC AT A STOP LIGHT AND MY CAR DINGED, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, AND MY CAR SAID TO PUT IT IN PARK AND RESTART (THIS HAPPENED TWICE AT THE SAME LIGHT) THEN THE ERROR MESSAGES STARTING FLASHING (SERVICE AIR BAG, SERVICE ELECTRONIC STABILITY CONTROL, BLIND SPOT ALERT UNAVAILABLE, ETC) TODAY WHEN I WENT TO START MY CAR THE ENGINE DID NOT COME ON AND THE SAME ERROR MESSAGES STARTING FLASHING AS WELL AS THE CHECK...

2 DAYS AFTER PURCHASING CAR, THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. I ASKED SERVICE FOLKS AT DEALERSHIP IF I CAN BRING IT IN. THEY SAID BRING IT IN THE NEXT DAY. LATER THAT DAY, MY WIFE DROVE TO STORE. SHE WAS IN FOR 15 MINUTES. WHEN SHE CAME BACK TO CAR IN PARKING LOT AND STARTED THE CAR THE MONITOR SAID SOMETHING ABOUT CAR BEING PUT IN "PARK" AND THEN HAD ELECTRIC FAILURE AFTER A STRANGE NOISE. WORRIED THAT POWER FAILURE COULD HAPPEN WHILE CAR IS IN MOTION. DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE CAR UNLESS WE GAVE ALL 10S ON SURVEY, WHICH WE REFUSE TO DO. DEALERSHIP SERVICE SAID CAR HAD COMPLETE ELECTRIC FAILURE. WAS TOLD THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME THEY HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM. SERVICE PERSON ALSO SAID THEY WERE AWARE OF DEFECTS IN PACIFICAS. I ASKED HOW COME THEY SOLD CARS WITH KNOWN DEFECTS DEALERSHIP STATED THEY HAVE...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE CONTACT'S SPOUSE WAS DRIVING 45-50 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING AND AN AUDIBLE CHIME WAS HEARD. THE CONTACT QUICKLY SNATCHED THE STEERING WHEEL OUT OF HIS SPOUSE'S HANDS AND GUIDED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS INVOLVED IN A MINOR CRASH WITH A CURB IN A CONSTRUCTION ZONE. THERE WERE NO INJURIES AND A POLICE REPORT WAS NOT FILED. THE VEHICLE SUSTAINED MINOR DAMAGE TO THE UNDERSIDE OF THE BUMPER AND FOG LIGHTS. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AND TOOK IT TO MCINERNEY'S WOODHAVEN CHRYSLER JEEP (LOCATED AT 23940 ALLEN RD, WOODHAVEN, MI 48183, (734) 362-3100). THE DEALER DIAGNOSED THAT THERE WAS A LOOSE WIRE UNDER THE DASHBOARD. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE MECHANIC WAS ALSO UNABLE TO RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF...

THE VEHICLE SPONTANEOUSLY SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED AFTER COMING TO A STOP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 5 MPH AND MAKING A LEFT TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO PHILLIPS CHRYSLER JEEP DODGE RAM (LOCATED AT 3440 S PINE AVE, OCALA, FL 34471, (352) 732-7577) 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 CONTACTED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 7,000. **TR CONSUMER STATED VEHICLE LOST POWER AS ENTERING INTERSECTION. I AM NOT SURE IT STALLED, I THINK MORE LIKELY LOST ACCELERATOR CONTROL, AS I DID NOT SEE ANY WARNING LIGHTS. IT WAS A DOWN HILL "COAST" TO STOP ABOUT 300 YARDS SO NOT CLEAR IF VEHICLE WAS "COASTING" OR DRIVING AT IDLE SPEED. PUTTING INTO PARK, PUSHING ENGINE BUTTON TO STOP AND START SOLVED THE PROBLEM....

TODAY, 8/26/2018 AS I WAS DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE WITH MY NEWBORN AND 2 YEAR OLD SON MY 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA DECIDED TO SHUT OFF THE ENTIRE AC UNIT AND STOP THE CAR UNEXPECTEDLY. WE WERE UNABLE TO RESTART THE AC AND ENDED UP HAVING TO ROLL DOWN THE WINDOWS ONCE WE RESTARTED THE CAR. THIS IS EXTREMELY CONCERNING SINCE IT IS AUGUST IN ALABAMA AND ALSO PUTS MY ENTIRE FAMILY'S SAFETY AT RISK. I AM CURRENTLY TOO AFRAID TO DRIVE MY NEW CAR IN FEAR THAT SOMETHING WILL HAPPEN AGAIN. *TT *TR

WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, CONTROL PANEL STATED "VEHICLE NOT IN PARK" AND THEN COMPLETELY SHUT DOWN. I HAD TO COAST INTO A PARKING LOT. I PUT THE VEHICLE IN PARK AND VAN RESTARTED IMMEDIATELY. HOWEVER, WHEN I PUT THE VAN INTO D (DRIVE) THE CAR REVERSED! I IMMEDIATELY BRAKED AND THEN PRECEDED TO DRIVE FORWARD. THE "VEHICLE IS NOT IN PARK" HAS HAPPENED APPROXIMATELY 3 OTHER TIMES WHILE DRIVING BUT THE ENGINE NEVER STOPPED. THIS IS THE 2ND TIME MY VEHICLE HAS STALLED WHILE DRIVING. IT LOOSES ALL POWER!!! THE FIRST TIME IT WAS IN THE DEALERSHIP, THEY COULD NOT DETECT ANY ISSUES. IT WAS VERY SIMILAR EXCEPT THE PANEL STATED "VEHICLE IS NOT IN DRIVE". THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A BRAND NEW CAR! THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND RECALLS SHOULD BE PLACED AS I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL OTHER VEHICLES WITH SIMILAR PROBLEMS. I HAVE 3...

MALFUNCTION OF THE HANDS FREE POWER SLIDING DOOR OPENER CAUSED SUFFICIENT HEAT BUILDUP TO IGNITE AN OPEN FLAME IN THE PLASTIC CLADDING MATERIAL UNDER THE BODY OF THE CAR.

2018 PACIFICA WITH 5450 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING ON HIGHWAY AT 60 MPH WITH ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED, VEHICLE SUDDEN APPEARED TO STOP RUNNING. VEHICLE HAD BEEN OPERATING PERFECTLY NORMAL WITH NO INDICATION OF A PROBLEM UNTIL IT STARTED TO QUICKLY LOSE SPEED AND HAD NO RESPONSE FROM ACCELERATOR PEDAL. MESSAGE ON DASHBOARD SAID TO PLACE VEHICLE IN PARK AND PRESS START BUTTON. I'M NOT SURE IF THE ENGINE WAS ACTUALLY IDLING OR IF IT HAD COMPLETELY STOPPED RUNNING. I DID NOT NOTICE A LOSS OF POWER STEERING OR BRAKES. COASTED OVER TO SHOULDER, PLACED IN PARK AND TRIED TO RESTART. THE ENGINE WOULD START, BUT ONLY IDLE AT ABOUT 600 RPM. ACCELERATOR PEDAL HAD NO EFFECT ON ENGINE RPM AND I COULD NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND RESTARTED IT SEVERAL TIMES WITH SAME RESULT OVER A 3 MINUTE PERIOD. THEN I SWITCHED THE...

6/20 THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE DEALERSHIP CLAIMED THAT THEY PERFORMED THE DTC INSPECTION AND A SYSTEM UPDATE (TO PREVENT VEHICLE FROM STALLING). THE VEHICLE WAS RETURNED ON 6/23 AND IT BROKE DOWN ON 6/24. THE CAR WENT FROM 10MPH TO 43 MPH WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS AND THEN INSTANTLY STOPPED AT AROUND 10MPH. THE VEHICLE TURNED OFF AND WAS UNABLE TO START AND HAD TO BE TOWED BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP. I HIT A CURB AND IF I WAS NOT AN EXPERIENCED DRIVER I COULD HAVE KILLED SOMEONE OR MYSELF OR MY 3 CHILDREN COULD HAVE BEEN HARMED IF THEY WERE IN THE VEHICLE. I HAVE PROVIDED A VIDEO OF THE INCIDENT ON MY YOUTUBE AND THE DOCUMENTATION FROM WHAT THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY PERFORMED ON THE VEHICLE. THIS CAR NEEDS TO BE RECALLED AND OFF OF THE ROAD. PLEASE SAVE LIVES BECAUSE THIS WAS VERY SCARY...

DRIVING 50 MPH AND ENGINE STOPPED. "D" WAS FLASHING STATING IT WASN'T IN DRIVE. ALL POWER LOST. I WAS ABLE TO TURN ON A SIDE STREET AND PUT IT IN PARK. TOOK MULTIPLE TIMES TO RESTART THE VAN. I WAS ABLE TO DRIVE HOME WITHOUT ANY OTHER EPISODES. TWO WEEKS AGO, WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT, THE INTERIOR LIGHTS DIMMED ALL OF A SUDDEN. THIS OCCURRED TWO TIMES. THE DEALERSHIP DID NOT DETECT ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE LIGHT DIMMING. I'M NOT SURE IF THEY ARE RELATED BUT I AM TERRIFIED TO DRIVE THE CAR WITH MY 3 YOUNG CHILDREN.

AUTO STOP/START FAILED MONDAY MORNING. DIED AT AN INTERSECTION. I WAS LUCKY. DIDN'T BLOCK THE WHOLE INTERSECTION, BUT ONLY 1 LANE. STOPPED IN FRONT OF A TRAFFIC LIGHT. I WAS THE 1ST VEHICLE OF THE LINE. THE STARTER DIDN'T START THE ENGINE WHEN TRAFFIC LIGHT BE GREEN. THE MESSAGE OF THE VEHICLE GUIDED ME TO TURN TO PARK, AND TO PUSH THE START. I DID MANY TIMES, SHORT PUSH, LONG PUSH. I COULD HEAR THE STARTER KICKED IN, BUT THE ENGINE REFUSED TO START. I STUCK THERE. TURNED ON EMERGENT FLASHERS. I FELT SO FRUSTRATING AND NERVOUS ABOUT THE CAR I PURCHASED THIS YEAR. NICE PEOPLE TRIED HELPING TO PUSH THE CAR TO A PARKING SPOT, BUT I COULD NOT GET IT INTO NEUTRAL GEAR. EVEN THOUGH, I COULD TURN THE BUTTON IT TO NEUTRAL POSITION. IT WAS NOT REAL NEUTRAL. WE COULD NOT PUSH IT. I TRIED TO DISCONNECT...
