2019 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Power Train Problems

My vehicle at 28,k plus miles I noticed it seemed to slip. This would happen intermittently. I thought I was imagining it at first. Then it started to do a more violent jerking. The dealership did a reset. It started doing it a week later, and intermittently. I was also in the dealership because I was hearing a clunking noise in the rear when driving over uneven pavement, or backing out of my driveway. I have been waiting two months for rear struts to fix the issue. Vehicle sounds getting progressively worse and I'm concerned about driving. Today the rear struts wear promised to arrive. I was just told they will arrive Sept 10, 2021. Three days ago, an alert symbol popped onto my dash screen -a yellow circle with an A inside followed by an exclamation mark. I am bringing my vehicle in on August 30, 2021. The dealer...

TRANSMISSION WILL ONLY GO INTO 9TH GEAR AND ENGAGE AT SPEEDS UP TO 61 MPH, IF IT DOWNSHIFTS TO GO UP A HILL IT WILL NEVER EVER GO BACK INTO 9TH GEAR AGAIN UNLESS YOU SLOW DOWN TO 61 MPH THEN SLOWLY ACCELERATE TO GET IT TO STAY IN 9TH TOP GEAR? I TOOK IT TO CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEY SAID WELL YOU MIGHT NEVER SEE 9TH GEAR THAT'S HOW THEY RUN. THIS IS NOT ACCEPTABLE, CHRSYLER NEEDS A UPDATE TO ITS PROGRAMMING FOR BETTER SHIFTS... *TR

MY VEHICLE STALLS AND ROLLED BACK THREE TIMES SINCE PURCHASING IT NEAR THE END OF AUGUST. I KNOW THE ENGINE IS IN IDLE MODE DURING A STOP OR STOPLIGHT TO SAVE ON EMISSIONS, BUT THE TRANSITION FROM IDLE TO RESTART WHEN PRESSING ON THE GAS PEDAL IS NOT SEAMLESS. IN FACT, IT IS LOUD AND HAS ROLLED BACK A FOOT WHEN ON CHANGING FROM BRAKES TO GAS PEDAL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STATIONARY AT A STOP SIGN, THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED, BUT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO ACCELERATE. IN ADDITION, THE CHECK ENGINE INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO CLEMONS CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP (1601 A AVE W, OSKALOOSA, IA 52577, (641) 673-3447) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE AXLE RODS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT FLUID WAS LEAKING AND THAT THE TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 2,000. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2019 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE "STOP SAFELY VEHICLE WILL SHUT OFF SOON" MESSAGE ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BOB ALLEN MOTOR MALL (859-236-3217, LOCATED AT 725 N MAPLE AVE, DANVILLE, KY 40422) WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE RELAY SWITCH WAS STUCK. THE PART WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN BACK TO THE SAME DEALER AND THE AUXILIARY BATTERY WAS REPLACED, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE AND PROVIDED A CASE NUMBER. THE CASE MANAGER PROMISED TO CALL THE CONTACT BACK, BUT THE CONTACT HAD NOT RECEIVED A CALL. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 12,700.

THE STEERING WHEEL PULLS TO THE RIGHT OR TO THE LEFT WHILE DRIVING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. HAPPENS RANDOMLY ' NEVER KNOW WHEN IT WILL TURN IN EITHER DIRECTION. WHEN DRIVING AT 60-65 AND PASSING A SLOWER VEHICLE, IT OFTEN REQUIRES FIRMLY GUIDING THE CAR AGAINST RESISTANCE BACK TO THE LANE. REQUIRES DRIVING WHILE GRASPING THE STEERING WHEEL FIRMLY TO PREVENT THE VEHICLE FROM VEERING FROM ITS PATH. WILL ALSO OCCUR AT LOWER SPEEDS BUT NOT AS OFTEN. ALSO, WHEN DRIVING ON AN EXPRESSWAY THE STEERING, SOMETIMES BUT NOT EVERY TIME, BECOMES UNSTABLE IF A TRUCK PASSES IT. IN THOSE INSTANCES, IT VEERS TO EITHER THE RIGHT OR THE LEFT. THE CONCERN IS THAT IT COULD VEER DIRECTLY INTO THE PASSING VEHICLE IF THE DRIVER IS LESS THAN ALERT AND NOT FIRMLY GRASPING THE STEERING WHEEL. DURING A LIFETIME OF DRIVING, I HAVE NEVER BEFORE EXPERIENCED A VEHICLE THAT FELT AS...

WHILE MY WIFE WAS SITTING IN THE CAR WITH THE CAR RUNNING IN PARK THE CAR BEGAN TO GO IN REVERSE AND IT STARTED TO ACCELERATE AND BRAKES DIDNT WORK AND CAR CRASHED INTO A FENCE AND SHED. MULTIPLE WITNESSES CONFIRMED HER ACCOUNT AS SHE HAD WINDOW DOWN AND WAS SCREAMING WITH HER HANDS IN THE AIR. ONCE CAR CAME TO A STOP IT WAS CONFIRMED THAT CAR WAS IN PARK. VERY SCARY.

VEHICLE HESITATES FROM GEARS 1-4 JERKING THROUGH EACH GEAR. HAVE HAD VALVE BODY REPLACED NOT FIXED. HAVE BEEN TO DEALER 7 TIMES AND WAS TOLD THIS IS THE WAY IT IS. PURCHASED THE VEHICLE NEW AND WAS REPORTED IMMEDIATELY NO OFFER OF MONEY BACK.

THE VEHICLE JERKS (HESITATES) WHILE ACCELERATING FROM A START TO ABOUT 37 MPH. SUSPECT GEARS 1-4. HAVE BEEN TO DEALERSHIP 7 TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED THE NEW VEHICLE. HAVE HAD VALVE BODY REPLACED, ADAPTATIONS RESET, EVEN THE RADIO WAS REPLACED ALREADY. VEHICLE NOW HAS 1000 MILES ON IT AND STILL HAS ISSUES. THE DEALERSHIP SERVICE HAS TRIED EVERYTHING THEY CAN ASIDE FROM REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION. THE ZF 9 TRANSMISSION IS THE PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER (FCA) HAS REFUSED TO FIX THE PROBLEM AS THEY CONTINUE TO GET MANY MANY COMPLAINTS.

COULD NOT START CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR ONE HOUR FRIDAY MORNING. FINALLY STARTING, THE ENGINE SHUT DOWN WHILE MOVING AT LOW SPEED APPROACHING A LIGHT (AT TIME THOUGHT IT WAS THE GAS SAVING FEATURE) AND WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO START. DROVE IT TO DEALER MONDAY, AFTER A VERY DIFFICULT START FOR A FIX YESTERDAY. DEALER COULD NOT DUPLICATE PROBLEM SO I DROVE HOME, PARKED, AND TODAY IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED BACK TO DEALER. CONCERNED ENGINE COULD SHUT DOWN AT SPEED LOCKING CONTROLS. AS CAUSE IS UNKNOWN, I BELIEVE THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE FOR CHRYSLER AND A HEADS-UP TO THE NHTSA. THE PROBLEM BEGAN WITH ABOUT 150 MILES ON THE ODOMETER AND THE VAN NOW HAS ABOUT 475 MILES. *DT UPDATED 11/30/18*JB
