Stop/start system failure. while waiting behind a schoolbus the start/stop system initiated. when i attempted to press the gas the car stopped - gear shifter was locked and would not allow me to move it even to neutral. the d gear was blinking blue and i was unable to either brake, accelerate, or turn the vehicle off. this caused a very dangerous/hazardous situation when in traffic. eventually - i was able to restart the vehicle and disable the stop/start system.
Many other drivers complaining about same issue: 1. driving at low speed (10mph or less) transmission does a hard shift as if it was trying to engage 2nd or 3rd shift. car does a huge bump when the shift is engaged. 2. at high speed (65mph ~) is possible to hear a rattling noise coming from left side panel / drivers side. this is very concerning for us. already have dealer check the vehicle but they always say they could not reproduce the issue. this is happening since the very first recall for this car. before the first recall, no issue.
The lifgate is not properly working. it is a power lifgate and stopped working.
While vehicle is both stationary and moving the shift selector or dial turns off. you cannot see what gear you are in when this happens. the vehicle has turned off while in motion! the tie rods on this vehicle broke at less than 20k miles. the vehicle has had multiple recalls which have been fixed but continues to have intermittent electrical issues. all of these have been reported to chrysler.
The sliding side doors and rear tailgate open when i'm driving the vehicle!!!!! also when you push button shut the side doors they shut, then open again repeatedly, no obstacles or debris in the tracks, this is purely electrical on a vehicle that has 42,000 miles. the back tailgate opened today on my wife while she was driving, this vehicle has not been in an accident orw water damage either.
Transmission issues are out of control!!! vehicle looses power at low speed then lurches into gear thrusting forward at an alarming rate. this has put us in danger several times. chrysler fails to acknowledge the issue saying they can't recreate the event. on christmas eve the transmission gave out completely going through a light on the highway and lights came on and were flashing. towed it to the shop where they told us it needed 'reflashed' basically recalibrated and that every pacifica would need this update in order to continue driving. they also charged us $150 to do this mandatory update. sounds as if that should be considered a recall. i'm not happy to announce the vehicle is back to the same issues and i know it's only a matter of time before it happens again. we have also have to replace all spark plugs and all ignition coils as because the vehicle just breaks downs suddenly cause lights to come in and be flashing while shaking and not shifting correctly. it seems related to the transmission issues but we will never truly know as we are lied to so often when it's in the shop. chrysler cares is no ...
The van stalls at all different speeds. losing all control ad having to coast off to the side of the highway because the car has completely lost power. when i am accelerating, the vehicle is jerking around 10-20 mph, almost like a violent jolt. (at times seems like someone is rear ending us) the dealership says that everything is functioning as it should be. this makes me extremely concerned for the safety of my family and my kids. this has happened numerous times. also the sliding doors open and close on their own. my 6yo was nearly caught in one as it closed. i have video of the car stalled in a parking lot as well.
Automatic engine shutoff system shuts off vehicle on hills causing a rollback issue, safety problem. it also shuts off during heavy traffic heating up vehicle considerably. so far two different service departments cannot find any issues. 3 batteries have been replaced in 2 years time. transmission pops in and out of gear between 2nd and 3rd during city driving. no spare tire!! patch kit, good luck using it if you have a flat.
