My van's radio will randomly play a high-pitched tone and will not stop until the car is turned off. it is very distracting while driving and has happened randomly over a dozen times. nothing seems to turn it off. i took a video and shared it with the dealer but chrysler will not repair/replace the radio. unfortunately, the radio controls almost everything in the car.

Vehicle was at red light when started to smell something burning then smoke from the hood and vents inside the van. then when the hood is popped tithe flames got worse. the fire started on the right rear side of engine compartment around the radiator reservoir.

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.

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.

I have just bought a chrysler pacifica 2018 and im very upset with the purchase. the sliding back doors open again when they are about to close. i have to try several times by pressing the button on the door until it closes. each time i have to do it about six times and it's both doors. it is annoying and should not happen because it can become a danger on the road because they can open themselves while driving

Van will randomly not start after just being driven. dash board lights up and engine clicks but will not turn over. several messages come up for service. (see pictures attached.) has happened once before about 2 weeks ago and there's no explanation as to why it started back up after about an hour of problem solving. battery was fine. headlights, horn, inside lights and radio all worked fine. when clicking on parking brake button, the lights flash on the dash and can hear clicks but won't turn on the brake.

Power will be loss including radio frequently. when driving at low speeds such as in traffic the engine will stall and jerk.

While stopped at a red light, the auto stop engaged. when taking the foot off the brake to disengage auto stop, the vehicle stalled out in the middle of the road. multiple attempts were made to restart the vehicle. hazard lights were enabled; however, the entire vehicle eventually shut down, including the hazard lights. this vehicle had been driving on the highway and city streets for the previous 20 minutes without any indication of the impending failure. dealership service department initially believes fault lies with the battery, but how did the car get 20 minutes from home on a dead battery???

When stopped at a stoplight, my car used the stop/start function. when i tried to accelerate, the car stalled and wouldn't let me turn it back on or turn the dial to move it to neutral. it stayed like that for a couple minutes and then i was able to start it, but now i have a light on my dashboard indicating that the stop/start isn't available. i was traveling 500 miles from home on vacation with my family.

The electronics through uconnect shut off randomly or will not all work randomly. we have had the software updated by ourselves and the dealership on multiple occasions. while driving or in park. next, our dash lights would not go off one night no matter what we did to shut them off and ended up killing the battery by morning.

When in motion driving the blind spot detection safety function flashed warnings when there are no cars in the blind spot. then if malfunctioning does not detect a car in the blind spot, i have video showing the problem which usually happen when the outside temp is over 100. the dealer was unable to duplicate.
