When passing a farm tractor car went in to the passing gear and then there was no accelartion would not shift into any gear could not shut car off after awhile side doors wouldn't open after about 2 hours car finally started and went back to normal
This is the second complaint i have filed in 24 hours. i believe i am having a known problem/recall in my vehicle: engine stall due to software issue an engine stall can increase the risk of a crash. nhtsa campaign number: 18v049000 i drove about 3 miles. parked my vehicle and pushed the button to open the sliding back door. when i pushed the button the entire vehicle turned off including the engine and all the lights. nothing on the dash remained lit. i tried to restart it and nothing happened. no sounds, click or lights appeared. i opened my door and waited about a minute then the interior lights turned on. the sliding back door had to be manually pulled shut at this point. i tried to start the vehicle again and nothing happened. i tried again and it hesitated, then started. i was able to drive about 10 miles to work after that.
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.
Tl* the contact owns a 2017 chrysler pacifica. the contact stated that while waiting at a stop sign, the vehicle turned off. no warning indicators illuminated. the contact also stated that the failure occurred at least six times since 2018. the vehicle was taken to the dealer napleton's northlake chrysler, jeep/ram (3701 northlake blvd, lake park, fl 33403) they had not rendered a diagnostic. the vehicle was not repaired. the manufacturer was notified of the failure. the approximate failure mileage was 49,000.
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 ...
While in motion at lower speeds the transmission violently jerks between gears giving the feeling the car is out of control.
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 ...
Hesitation when i turn and try to accelerate. i thought it was my gas but i'm seeing there was a recall on some 2017 for this problem. mine has done this several times when i turn. it has only happened on the city streets while in motion. almost like it wants to stall out then a small few small jerks and then takes off. i just bought this van in march 2019 from westgate jeff wyler. there was no recalls for this van but i'm having the same problem they recalled on other 2017 pacifica. it's done this several times
We have had to replace all spark plugs and all ignition coils as because the vehicle just breaks downs suddenly cause lights to come on and be flashing while shaking very violently and not shifting correctly. this is usually following the issues we have with the transmission stalling and hard shifting forward more often than usual. it is underivable in this condition and requires a tow to the shop. we are told this is normal maintenance but starting at 6,000 miles hardly seems normal. spark plugs shouldn't even need replaced until at least 100,000 miles let alone any sort of coil.
Had auxiliary battery replaced approximately 5 months ago because the ess was not functionally properly. no problems until today 11/9/19 while on vacation in washington dc. the engine shutoff totally at stop light. put car in park, depressed brake, vehicle started and ess warning light stayed on and no other lights came on, pulled out of traffic into parking lot and vehicle was slow to accelerate at first, turned vehicle off myself, let it sit a minute. restarted vehicle with no problems and ess light was off. called dealership where i purchased vehicle and chrysler customer service about what happened. neither on had any ideas or suggestions except to take to dealership. dealership did say might be oil change was due or oil was low. had oil changed about month ago. said they had not received any complaints about this 11issue.

When starting the car the engine doesn't always turn over. when this happens all the sensors go down and it tells me i am not in park. the car won't turn off or on and must try it many times before anything else with happen. it seems to happen on a cooler morning
The vehicle will stall and then hard shift from first to second gear. we initially noticed the hard shifting when we bought the vehicle but thought it might be the auto stop/start system. we didn't think much of it until it started shifting harder when we would stop or be driving. this, at times, caused issues when turning or accelerating to go through an intersection. the vehicle stalling causes a safety hazard and presents an opportunity for an accident to occur due to the delayed response of the vehicle. the cars following behind could potentially rear end the vehicle. the hard-shifting feels like someone hit you from behind and causes back and neck pain from the sudden jerking movement. this vehicle has also completely stopped when being driven causing a serious safety hazard. it started up again immediately after that incident only to not start at all a few months later. this vehicle has been nothing but trouble for us from the very beginning. we stayed optimistic that the recalls would fix the issues. they haven't. it's only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or heaven forbid dies because of this issue. we have had 8+ service ...
While leaving the neighborhood, came to a stop, auto stop/start engaged, released brake to accelerate, vehicle died. moved shifter to park and attempted to restart. odd stuttering sound like the engine can't turn over. repeated several times without success, then called for a tow to dealer. radio still worked and both batteries had been replaced about 3 weeks ago. dealer says abs error light is on but vehicle started. awaiting diagnosis.
