I returned home from driving a half an hour in my vehicle and when i pushed the start/stop button to turn the vehicle off it would not go completely off. the engine turned off but the sensors and radio would not turn off. normally it shuts off when you open the door and it still would not work. so then i messed with things a bit and made sure all doors were shut. when doing so the back left door would not latch all of the way. it would go to shut and the open again before latching.
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
Came to full stop at a light on a 2 lane highway. there was no one in front of me and one care behind. almost immediately after stopping for the light, the engine stopped, the transmission indicator light flashed the light under "d" and the gauge cluster flashed multiple lights. i can only remember seeing fwc or fcw flashing but there were other lights. auto start/stop was not disabled so i was initially not surprised by the engine stopping at a light. to restart, i had to place transmission back in "p", hold the brake and push the ignition. i then, despite having our seat belts on, had to disengage the parking brake by pushing the button. this usually happens automatically when the vehicle is placed in "d". once we returned home, the driver's side power sliding door would not operate. we had to open it manually to get my son out. the passenger's side worked like it should. both these things have happened to my wife (the primary driver) several times and reported to the dealership. they have been unable to replicate the problem or fix it.
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.

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 ...
