The vehicle was left in parking on a Saturday afternoon in Costco. When we came back and we put everything in the trunk, the vehicle turn on automatically, not by remote start, on its own. When we saw the dashboard it said: "Put on in parking to prevent rolling", but the vehicle didn't take any gears and it was not able to be turn off. We try to turn it off several times but it came back on, on its own with the same message: "Put on in parking to prevent rolling", after towing we dropped in the dealer and the dealer couldn't find anything not even a computer code. This could have happened on a…
We purchased 2022 hybrid Chrysler Pacifica from Mountain View CDJR in June 2026 and around July 4th the car went into critical red turtle limp mode on the highway slowing from 65 to under 15 mph with all our children in the car. Thankfully my husband was driving and able to get us to the local CDJR who helped inspect the vehicle and discovered contaminated coolant issue and showed us the different colors that shouldn’t be there from a car purchased from a CDJR dealership. The issue was brought to Mountain View who initially attempted to charge us over $3,000 for an issue stemming from their…
Rear passenger side center section captains chair had an uncommanded back of seat drop downward followed by the entire seat rolling forward as I was slowing down the vehicle to make sure the passenger was not injured. The chair flops back and forth. Approximately 12500 miles on the 2022 vehicle. The drivers side of this seat ALSO failed but nobody was sitting in it at the time! The passenger was not injured but could have been severely injured if I had reacted with harsher breaking, if it occurred during a situation that the vehicle could not have been stopped or if the individual was…
This vehicle is experiencing a severe, recurring premature failure of the power sliding door lock actuators on both sides. When I took it to the dealer for inspection I didn’t know the clicking sound was a problem. But was told it needed to be replaced because it was a “safety issue.” • September 5, 2024: The Right-Side sliding door lock actuator failed prematurely at approximately 15,000 miles and had to be replaced. The dealership replaced under warranty. • Earlier This Year (2026), I don’t know exactly when, both door lock actuators are showing signs of failure by making that same clicking…
Vehicle: 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Approximately 25,300 miles On Saturday 9/12/26 while driving at highway speeds the following message displayed "Stop Safely, Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon". When the message displayed the check engine light illuminated as well as the limp mode light. In limp mode the vehicle reduced speed rapidly and would not accelerate above 20 MPH. This happened at highway speeds on a multilane highway. We were able to get to the shoulder, but it was very dangerous changing lanes in limp mode. Turning the vehicle on and off several times cleared errors except the check…
Chrysler issued this safety recall 52D at the end of June and still no remedy is being reported as available from Chrysler. This is abysmal customer performance and and unacceptable turnaround time for what amounts to a serious safety risk. Chrysler has not and continues not to provide an estimated timelines for resolution. I am renting a vehicle in the meantime given the safety risk (both while driving and while parked), paying for the rental cost out of pocket and taking a risk that Chrysler will reimburse. In short, the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for…
My vehicle is currently being recalled for the recall 52D, I have reached out twice in a thirty day span asking about a fix and been told both times there are no parts for this fix. The risk of this recall includes fire, while charging or while parked and off.
On July 19, 2026, I was driving my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid on E-470 at approximately 75 mph. Without warning, the dashboard displayed "Stop Safely. Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon," and the amber check engine light illuminated. At the same time, the vehicle immediately lost all motor power, began slowing, and did not respond to accelerator input. There were six occupants in the vehicle, including four young children. I was traveling on a busy six-lane highway with little to no shoulder. I had to maneuver across traffic without motor power to reach the side of the road, placing all six…
I am reporting an ongoing, catastrophic safety defect and corporate suppression regarding Chrysler Recall 03A (NHTSA Campaign 23V010) on my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The official recall remedy has repeatedly failed to prevent total electrical system depletion and unexpected motive power shutdown in the field, leaving my family in extreme danger. On March 3, 2023, at 6,000 miles, the vehicle suffered a complete, un-warned motive power shutdown while I was driving my two young children on a rural highway. The vehicle stalled dead on an incline in the middle of a lane. The brakes failed to…
1. Most emergency lights come on while the vehicle's brake engages automatically. The brake then pumps up and down on its own if any pressure is applied. Shortly after, the vehicle goes into "limp mode". The vehicle is currently at a Chrysler Dealership service department and available for inspection. 2. This has occurred 8 times since the vehicle was purchased in October 2024. All but one time, it has happened while driving. Once it happened while on a major highway. I had to quickly veer into a turn lane so our vehicle was not rearended by another car. Another time, I was driving my children…
My 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid has developed a dangerous rear brake system malfunction. During a dealer inspection on 4/27/26, the certified technician confirmed that the rear brake pads are only contacting approximately 50% of the rotor surface, leaving the remaining half completely unused and heavily corroded. This is not normal corrosion or wear. It is a mechanical failure in which the pads are not engaging the rotor correctly. The technician also stated that the pads were sticking in the caliper slides, which prevented full engagement. This is a functional defect in the brake hardware…
Driving down a highway at 70 mph and a notification popped up saying to pull over and turn off the vehicle because the engine would shut down soon. I lost the ability to accelerate and impeded traffic. Had to pull over on the side of the road with minimal shoulder. This has happened dozens of times; all at high rates of speed and often in heavy traffic.
