While driving our 2018 chrysler pacifica on i-95 south in nh, traffic came to an abrupt stop and we rear-ended a jeep wrangler at approximately 30-40 mph. i braked for about 20 ft and struck the jeep. our airbags deployed and the engine compartment immediately burst into flames upon impact. the flames were so immediate and so violent that my wife and i only had time to remove our young daughters from the middle row of the vehicle. the accident itself was minor, the jeep was able to drive away after the accident. our pacifica was a complete loss as a result of the fire. ...*bf.. updated 10/30/18*jb
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 engine. this became an entirely new concern when this started happening while i'm driving. i have two small children in the car, and i'm pregnant. i just don't feel safe driving and this is our main vehicle, so we don't have much of a choice.
