The driver-side sliding door will continue to open when trying to close it. When we activate the auto-shut, it will close all the way, beep, and then open back up. Nothing obstructs the sensors or the door. Shutting the door multiple times will eventually shut on its own. We have found the vehicle with this door open overnight and at various other times. It opens on its own without pressing any button.

Car is making a scary noise when driving

- Bolingbrook, IL, USA

While driving our minivan it stalls or it seems like the gas isn-€™t getting to the engine. It has happened when I-€™ve been accelerating from a side road across a very busy road on more thank e occasion. We thought it was the gas we were using. Now we-€™ve been advised it is due to a -€œcrank shaft sensor-€. (?) We may not be eligible to get it fixed because we got our 2017 Pacifica in Oct 2016, drove it approx. 15,000 miles/ year so we may not be able to get it fixed for free.

05JAN and 07JAN 2023, similar instances of significant vehicle systems malfunctioning which affected operability/safety. Both times, the vehicle operated without issue earlier in the day. Occurred at 11:30pm on 05JAN2023 while being driven and at 5:30pm on 07JAN2023 upon starting the van. On 07JAN, the van had difficulty starting when the start button was pressed. After more attempts to start, it eventually did. Both times the dashboard had multiple warnings: Check Engine, Stability Control, Airbag Warning, and Electric Park Brake Trouble. Worded messages also displayed regarding transmission and gear positions trouble. While operating, the "D" above the digital speedometer would regularly change to "--" and back to "D, " accompanied by an audible tone. The red "BRAKE" light would quickly blink once every 2-3 minutes. Van would accelerated very slowly from low speeds or stopped position, would jolt forward or back aggressively, and could not overcome a moderate grade incline from being stopped. The odometer jumped quickly between 1k-4k rpm, but the engine did not appear to actually do so. When stopped and switching from D to R, reverse functioned similar to being in Neutral. The blue shifter gear knob lights would also blink. When turned off and back on, R would engage faster than normal. The vehicle is available for inspection upon request Driven with 3 family members in the vehicle when the malfunction occurred. My spouse verbally stated that she did not feel safe. With extreme caution, operated the van back home and chose lower speed roads. Would be hazardous to operate in a parking area or near pedestrians. The Airbag malfunction was also very concerning, especially with regard to the jerking movement of the van when accelerating. The problem has reproduced, but not confirmed by a third party. The component has not been inspected by a third party. No other warning lights we illuminated. Codes found: U1110, U1120, U11BC, P0440, P456.

Twice while driving the van shut down and came to a stop. The van jerked and was in park. I was able to push start it back on. Both incidents have happened in the last 2 weeks with all 3 of my children in the car on a busy intersection. Last one happened on 12/26/22 while driving 25-30 miles and hour. This van only has 41,000 miles on it and has NO warning light indicators on. I am taking my van into a dealership tomorrow 12/28/22 in Vancouver, Wa. to get it looked at. I no longer feel safe in my vehicle. This is my main source of transportation and I take the highway everyday to work. I have no idea what could cause this, but I have seen this is a problem in the 2017 models.

The car stalls out In midst of driving and will not accelerate, than it will with a hard jerk try to accelerate again, at first I thought it was bad gas, then I noticed it more and more which prompted me to look it up and see that it-€™s a recall for that specific problem that I-€™m having but my vent number has No recall although I-€™m experiencing that same issue with my vehicle

I drive my daughter's van to transport my 3 years old autistic grandson to preschool and I have experienced several problems. 6 times the van died when I accelerated from a stopped position. Once I was turning onto a highway. The passenger-side sliding door opened while I was driving. The passenger front window has opened 2 different times. The lights on the dash go out while driving. The transmission will slam into another gear jerking you. The hatchback door on the back has closed on my daughter and her baby. She has 4 kids 5 and younger that she drives in this van. It scares me to drive it. She has taken it to 2 different places to get it looked at and they couldn't identify the problem. From what I have read this happens a lot with the van.

'Engine failure and needs replacement of head gasket. Never overheated. Also excessive "bucking" feels and sounds like you are being rear ended. Causes car to bang and lunge forward. Was repaired once before, dealer stated it was a software issue. Problem continues and gives you back pain and wiplash type sensation as it is a very abrupt and strong occurance. Now engine has failed and needs head gasket repaired for over $3000.

The problem began with an engine light and gave a P0303 code. We made an appointment with the dealer but the starter went out before it could be solved. After repair the service manager noticed a hint of white smoke from the tail pipe. After we received it, we took a short trip on the freeway and had the temperature shoot up and a horrible burning smell came in the cabin. We pulled over and got to a gas station. The coolant reservoir was empty so we filled it. On the way home the engine light came on and the next day we took it to a local shop. They confirmed it was the head gasket leaking coolant into cylinder 5. A code reader pointed to cylinder 3 with only a misfire but in reality you are losing coolant at a high rate. The mechanic will notify our warranty company with their findings. At city speeds the temperature stayed normal, as soon as we entered the freeway it reached the max temperature and smoked the cabin. There was no warning light to signal low coolant. Vehicle was purchased used from a local dealer.

My vehicle stalled without warning while driving. I lost power steering and everything shut down. I had to put it in park which wasn-€™t registering and shut off my vehicle and restart it for it to correct itself.

Auto Start/Stop function failed, at a red light the car engine auto stopped but when brake was released after the light turned green the car stalled and had to be turned off and back on. It restarted on the first try and the lane sense function turned off when the car restarted but no check engine lights came on. This was unsafe For the car to have to be turned off completely and restarted after a light had turned green and there was traffic waiting behind me. Thankfully the cars behind me were stopped but if someone had been just pulling up behind me and expected me to move forward when the light turned green they may not have stopped fast enough to prevent an accident, which could have put the safety of my children in the back seats at significant risk. On a separate occasion this happened at a stop sign as well with the auto stop function causing the car to not turn back on when the brake was released and the car had to be turned off and back on again. Months prior to either incident the auto stop/start engine light had been on for some time but after a regular service and software update at the dealership the light went off. More recently there have been several issues indicating electrical problems, like the touchscreen turning off and restarting while driving. May 31st 2022 both the main and auxiliary batteries failed and were replaced at the dealership and then Sep 24th 2022 the battery failed again, but was jumped off and worked until Oct. 1st when the battery failed and would not hold a charge again.

I took my vehicle in to have the computer reset as the recall fix required after my start/stop unavailable warning came up for the second time. First time I had to replace both batteries. About 6 months ago if that. Took it in with the check engine light having popped on saying it's a misfire. Then when we left the stop start failure was still lit up on the dash and there were more codes popping up including one for the shift module which is electronic.. so I believe the electronic system is causing the misfire. I don't even have 100,000 miles and my car is about 5 years old. (2017) We were traveling on a busy highway when the check engine light came on to start with and exited to turn around and head home when the van felt like it was getting sluggish and we luckily were not in the passing lane and were able to make it home safely.

I have noticed for a while off and on that the transmission will jolt when driving. Feels like a hard shifting. It is getting worst to the point that I'm afraid to drive it as feel it may stall. Going up gradual incline have to press hard to get speed up. This can happen at any speed. In town normally driving 35-45 mph. My VIN shows there has been no recalls but this appears to be a known issue via complaints I have sent. Is there a recall" Would dealership know about this issue [XXX]? Is it safe to drive" I have not contacted the dealership yet. Thanks, [XXX] INFORMATION Redacted PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).

We stopped at a rest stop on the NJ Turnpike (Mile Post, 92.9 NJ Tpke, Woodbridge, NJ 07095). After about 10 minutes we returned to the car and noticed a little bit of white smoke coming from the hood (approximate location 12-volt battery). Due to the color of the smoke thought was the radiator. I popped the hood from the car to inspect and at moment about to lift the hood, small flames came from between the hood and windshield. We then backed away from the car and called 911. Within minutes the car was consumed by large flames and the fire department had to extinguish the flame. NJ State Police said the cause would not be investigated due to arson not being suspected. Luckily no cars were parked close to us so no cars were damaged. There were no warning lights or messages in the car prior. The car is a regular engine, but there is a warning for this issue on the hybrid version, so not sure if maybe also affect non-hybrid engines as well. https://www.nhtsa.gov/press-releases/recall-chrysler-pacifica-fire-risk

The following issues have occurred about six times in the last two months. While driving down the road, the car will suddenly and without warning die, and all power is lost. The car automatically shifts to park, and because there is no power, I cannot restart the car. The fact that I cannot turn on my hazard lights is also a safety issue. When this happens, I am usually going a slow speed or idling. Once while going 35 mph, the car-€™s system blinked but stayed running. About a quarter of a mile down the road, I was pulling into a parking lot when it died. I barely had enough momentum to steer it out of the roadway. Other issues are windows rolling down and doors opening at random times. No service center has looked at my car or reproduced the defect. I have not spoken to the manufacturer at this point.

Vehicle was misfiring, took it to the mechanic said it was the 3rd cylinder. Had that replaced, but the vehicle continued to have problems. It lost power while driving but I was able to maneuver it off the road. Took it back to the mechanic where he stated the head gasket had busted. There was no sign or indication of the vehicle overheating or anything prior to all of this.
