I believe my vehicle is have the issue of a known recall on this type of vehicle: engine stall or loss of power steering assist a loss of power steering assist or a stall can increase the risk of crash. i was driving and suddenly the power steering went out and the vehicle came to a stop. i was instructed on the screen to put the vehicle in park. once i put it in park the vehicle shut off. i tried restarting it. the brake was stiff and would not push in. when i pushed the button it went to "acc" then when i pushed it again it went to "run" but the vehicle was not on and i could not change the shifter out of the park position. this was very dangerous and happened while vehicles were driving behind me causing people to suddenly come to a stop.
While driving, vehicle completely lost power/stalled. power steering lost, all acceleration and power assisted braking. indicator lights for variety of systems light up. pull over to side and restart vehicle. vehicle exhibits "haywire" behavior, with indicators for all systems, including traction control tire pressure, battery, hybrid electric system, parking brake, etc.going off. a short video was taken of this behavior when restart was attempted after the stall. vehicile fails to restart. after additional try, vehicle starts, and traction control and some other systems remain non functional. vehicle is returned home, then returned to dealer, who advises that vehicle firmware is up to date, and that the issue "cannot be duplicated." vehicle was up to date on previous recalls relating to stalls. the stall was incredibly dangerous, and dealer does not seem to have any idea what source of the problem is. we have been sent away, being told to return the vehicle if problem shows up again. we do not feel that vehicle is safe to drive, and dealer has done nothing to address or diagnose the issue that caused the problem. the issue came after some other issues with vehicle sometimes indicating that airbags need service, or not ...

When making a slight right hand turn the steering does not naturally return to the center position, and must be physically forced to return to the center position. this problem has persisted for the last couple of weeks

Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chrysler pacifica. while attempting to reverse the vehicle, the steering wheel needed extra strength to steer and the engine and power steering assist indicators illuminated. the contact referenced nhtsa campaign number: 19v348000 (electrical system). the vehicle was taken to greenbrier motor company (9841 seneca trail, lewisburg, wv 24901, (304) 645-1010), but the failure could not be duplicated. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and informed the contact that the vin was not included in the recall. the failure mileage was 46,900.
I was turning at an intersection and my pacifica stalled and would not go until i slammed on the gas because a car was coming and i almost got hit. it's very unsafe for my kids to be in the van if it's going to stall when turning.
Driving multiple occurrences of brief loss of power steering at speed in motion. hesitation, difficult, hard to turn. googled this issue an observed a fca recall. i called fca customer services and they stated my vehicle is not in the recall by vin. however it is an early 2017 model.. i am filing this as my wife reported this to me for the first time that it had occurred to her recently when driving. after she told me 3 miles later while i was driving at speed oft 45mph in a wide sweeping turn the steering resisted input on me to return to center and caught me by surprise for a brief second then resumed back to normal. at that moment i myself had just what she told me happened to her multiple times recently when driving. we no longer want to drive the vehicle and deem it a safety risk due to this steering issue.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chrysler pacifica. while driving various speeds, the steering wheel seized for approximately three to four seconds without warning. the contact stated that the failure occurred intermittently. the vehicle was taken to auto plaza chrysler dodge jeep ram farmington (970 e woodlawn dr, farmington, mo 63640, (573) 431-7800) where it was diagnosed that the rack and pinion module defaulted and the power steering module needed to be replaced. the vehicle was not repaired and the failure recurred. the manufacturer was made aware of the failure and did not assist. the failure mileage was 74,300.
The steering is loose. while turning there is a knock, turning into a parking space or backing out of a drive way, while in park and turning the steering wheel. i took my van in 1 and a half weeks after my warranty expired and they said i needed a new rack and pinion which was going to be over $4000,00! the dealership advised me to call chrysler to see if they would cover it, they did not. after further research, it is shown that if a rack and pinion is bad, the front end could fall apart at any time. i only have 36k miles on my van that is 2 years old. that is ridiculous to me, and this is a safety concern. especially in a family vehicle such as a van.
I took my car 2 times already to the chrysler service center to investigate steering wheel problem, and they told me that they couldnt find out any problem. it feels like locking when you turn the steering wheel and turn to other way. my 3 babies are riding in this car and i worry so much. it happens low speed and high speed also (30 - 70 mph)
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chrysler pacifica. the contact stated that the door push button failed to open the door from inside the vehicle. the vehicle was not taken to a dealer or an independent mechanic for diagnostic testing. the vehicle was not repaired. in addition, the vehicle was serviced per an unknown recall. afterwards, the vehicle failed to start, the steering wheel was difficult to turn, and all the warning indicators turned on and off. the failure recurred twice. the vehicle was previously serviced per nhtsa campaign number: 19v348000 (electrical system). on another occasion, while driving, the steering wheel seized and a warning indicator illuminated, indicating to park and start engine. the engine failed to start. the vehicle was towed to lone star chrysler dodge jeep ram (8811 interstate 35 access rd, san antonio, tx 78211, (210) 828-1515) where multiple inspections were completed. the contact was unaware of the diagnostic results. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 63275357. the approximate failure mileage was 22,500.
I continue to have problems with "jerking" while driving my 2017 pacifica. the best way i can describe it as the car "jerks" forward very forcefully. i have had it in 6 times for the same "jerking" motion. i am concerned that it may cause an accident if it jerks and completely stops. the "jerking" happens at very random times, acceleration, coasting, cruise control use, and slowing down. some days it happens multiple times a day, and others it can go a week or two without happening. chrysler has replaced valves and the entire transmission unit, however, the problem is still happening. for the past month, when the jerking happens, the steering wheel now attempts to lock and this didn't start happening until chrysler started "messing" with parts. the vehicle was purchased with 18k miles on it as a "chrysler certified vehicle." i have filed a case with chrysler and was told i would be contacted within 24-48 hours and it has been 8 days with no contact from them. i have reached out to them day after day and still haven't recv'd a call back. i don't feel ...
Initially, while driving, a brief warning message would flash on the driver's info cluster that the "power steering was unavailable" and then the warning would go away very quickly. however, the warning began coming on more frequently, always while driving, and it would stay on, resulting in a total loss of power steering. this was very frightening since in the large van it became difficult to control while driving at both highway and side-street speeds. when the engine would be turned off and then restarted, the malfunction would resolve, however, it began happening more and more frequently, sometimes multiple times during a short drive. it was very unsafe to drive as the power steering could have potentially gone out at any time, such as a highway corner, resulting in loss of control. the car is now in the shop while they are trying to find a repair for the problem but as of now they are saying it is electronic and not mechanical.
My issues started when my auto start/stop stopped working. i took it in to the dealership and they said the accessory battery was dead and they didn't have a replacement in. that it was in backorder. then my main battery went dead. i had to have my vehicle towed to the dealership. they replaced my main battery and again they made mentioned that the auto start/stop didn't work. i said i know the accessory battery is dead and that it was on backorder. i was told to bring the van back in the following week and they would test the accessory battery again and replace it if was bad. took the van back. they said it wasn't the battery that something was wrong electrical because too many volts was being outputted. at this time i made mention of the power steering issue. i got a warning light saying it wasn't working. was told nothing showed up on the computer about the power steering. took van back in for the electrical system to be evaluated. my husband drove the van and on the way to the dealership tje power steering system cut off and then in mid turn cut back on ...
