Problems with 2017 Chrysler Pacifica VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Car's go from 60 mph at the crest of a hill to 70 mph with the cruise contrl set at 60 mph

We were driving (in motion) car across tapenzee bridge (highway) and it stopped, (completely, no coasting etc) out of no where, no warning. car eventually restarted after it was put in park and ignition was activated again. since incident, car has stalled twice with no warning but has not shut off completely like it did on bridge.

Vehicle cutoff while driving and then had to be put in park to be restarted since it is a push to start. when put in drive the vehicle jolted harshly and made a dinging sound. ..updated 07/20/17 *bf *cn

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chrysler pacifica. the contact stated that the vehicle lunged forward while being driven 15 mph. the failure occurred without warning. the manufacturer and dealer were not contacted. the failure mileage was approximately 23,000.

A very serious issue , wheels spinning and transmission shuddering problem on my new 2017 chyrsler pacifica model, occurs more sharply and frequently on wet roads. while shifting to drive mode and picking up from idle position at signals & turns the vehicle shakes, wheels don't grab the roads, transmission slips, vehicle shudders, loses momentum and halts momentarily in the middle of the road, and this is worst on inclined roads. i barely escaped an accident today when vehicle stopped in the middle of the road while trying to take a turn at an intersection and wheels kept spinning, transmission kept shuddering and car wasn't moving anywhere. i complained a few times with chrysler dealer, they said inspection does not find any error code. the issue is so apparent and can be replicated easily by just driving it once. it's a serious manufacturing defect and it can cause serious accidents and death..i intend to pursue this seriously with chrysler and hope they are able to fix. if anybody has any similar experience, please post it here. ..updated 10/25/17 *bf

Tl* the contact leased a 2017 chrysler pacifica. the contact stated that the accelerator pedal was stuck several times when applied, and the brakes failed to respond when the pedal was depressed. the contact applied the brakes with force and the vehicle surged forward. while attempting to coast over to the shoulder of the road, the vehicle swiped a metal pole. the front passenger side tire was impacted due to the failure. there were no injuries and a police report was not filed. the vehicle was taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. the manufacturer sent a technician to inspect the vehicle, but they were unable to provide a solution. the vehicle was not repaired. the approximate failure mileage was 738.

Acc & fcw. mine did not work. the dealer had my car for 2 weeks. they had to contact the chrysler engineer & was told to replace & re-calibrate. so after being replaced it somewhat works. after the new parts, my car will still brake hard when a car in the adjacent lane is exiting (as if the car was braking in front of me). but, if a car changes lanes directly in front of me or slams on brakes directly in front of me my car doesn't react? chrysler has definitely fallen short on this function. i've owned vehicles where this function worked nearly flawless. chrysler says its as good as its going to get. another misrepresentation on this feature! i'm disappointed. chrysler claims the pacifica to be the quietest vehicle in its class. after driving it about 8 months now, i hate it. it's as noisy as a small car. "acoustically sound with its active noise cancellation (anc), subduing engine and street noise through white-noise wavelengths played through all speakers throughout the vehicle". the anc is in all trim levels. chrysler at this point doesn't even have a way to test the product to see if the anc is working! star tech support of chrysler is still trying to figure out how to test this feature!!! i had a chrysler customer service rep tell me that the anc was for my cell phone, lol, i was like are you sure you work for chrysler?? third, is the suspension and rear sway of the vehicle. when there are only 2 people up front it's not noticeable. but when we have 5-6 people it's noticeable. chrysler customer service tried to tell me i had the van over capacity. really! so my 7 passenger van was over capacity with 5 people (4 adults, 1 child, 3 luggage)? again are you sure you work for chrysler?? fourth, my key fob randomly loses connection. fifth, i had the a/c failure and my a/c had to be replaced. i have requested a buy back. too many misrepresentations. *tr

The cruise control is not maintaining a fixed speed on downhills and that causes the vehicle to highly accelerate to a deficit speed of around 20 mph more than the fixed speed selected. this could lead to deadly accidents and need to be fixed as soon as possible by a tag of safety alert. this is happening to me since i purchased the car and i went to dealership to tell them about it, but they didn't like to listen and/or to escalate the issue to manufacturer. nhtsa is my last resort to report this.

Speedometer not reporting correct vehicle speed. while barely touching accelerator vehicle reported me driving 67 mph. i was driving according to speedometer 47 mph, i was pulled over by an officer who stated i was clocked at 67 mph.

I have a 2017 chrysler pacifica equipped with a fcw (frontal collision warning system). i have owned and driven other cars with this system that have operated without issue. the fcw in the pacifica has three settings that can be selected by the driver for sensitivity. near, medium and far. i have tried all settings without any difference. the system does not audibly warn the driver of a possible impending collision at any speed or distance under almost all daily driving scenarios. this includes heavy traffic, city and highway, and situations with frequent abrupt stops. i have driven 4,135 miles in two weeks in very heavy traffic with lots of emergency breaking with no warning from the fcw on the pacifica. the system has activated once with an approximate distance of 5-7 feet, upon approaching a chrysler 200 at at approximately 25 mph. the dealer technician states no codes are in the system, and therefor it is functioning. i discussed this matter with the customer service manager at the local dealership who is escalating the matter to chrysler dealer support for further evaluation and follow-up after he experienced my issue on a test drive. in addition, this vehicle does not operate per the videos chrysler publishes on its website as an example of fcw on its cars. based on my experience with other vehicles equipped with fcw, i believe the fcw on the pacifica is not properly calibrated to warn drivers of impending collisions via an audible alert as described in marketing materials and in comparison to other vehicles i have driven with this feature.

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chrysler pacifica. while driving 35 mph, the vehicle stalled without warning and the "shift to park" error message displayed. the contact stated that the vehicle lost power completely, but was able to be restarted by shifting to park. in addition, on several occasions, the vehicle hesitated to accelerate and lurched forward while the accelerator pedal was depressed. heggs chrysler in masa, arizona reprogrammed the computer and replaced the accelerator pedal sensor, but the failure recurred. the dealer stated that the failure could not be duplicated. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure. the failure mileage was approximately 11,000. the vin was not available.
