Driving at 70 mph, my Pacifica just shut off. Had no control, had nothing. Managed to pull over to the side of the road. When called into the beaver county Chrysler dealership I was told, "we just sell them, we don't make them." His vehicle has been one issue after another. The sliding doors not closing, the dvd player not working, the radio not working, the sliding door on driver's side still not working and they had to completely replace the gas tank because I couldn't even put gas in the tank it would shut off and wouldn't let gas get into the tank. Now this. We were scared for our lives and then told, "we just sell them we don't build them." This is not a safe vehicle.... consumer stated problem was solved. Updated 12/19/18

Transmission hesitates and then when it catches, it's jerks forward. Almost always from a stop. But it has happened at a low speed roll too. Happens often, so I put the last date it happened below....

When accelerating (in motion) the vehicle randomly stalls or hesitates with an abrupt jolt and loud thudding sound. Feels and sounds as if vehicle is being hit in the rear by another vehicle. Dealer has been unable to rectify or diagnose any "problem." Problem occurs almost daily in a random manner.

- Livingston, NJ, USA

The van will hesitate with the foot pushing the gas in between 10-20mph and all of the sudden will jump forward with a loud clunking sound when going to the next gear. It feels like you get rear ended. This happens at random. The dealer said they have never heard of this issue and did a software update and sent us on our way. Within a few hours after leaving the dealer, the van issue occurred again. I found the below link forum for Pacifica owners and it sounds like a lot of people are having this issue. This seemed to have started back in July 2018 after I had several recall software updates put in place. I would just like some help getting this resolved and make others aware of the issue for safety reasons. My fear is that my wife will make a turn in traffic and the van hesitate and her get T-boned.

The vehicle was in motion on a city street just driving straight. The engine shut off while driving. The display indicated to put the car in park to start the vehicle. The power steering shuts off. I was not going fast at the time and was able to stop, put it in park, press the brake, start the vehicle, and put it into drive. However, I was in traffic and almost was rear ended by another vehicle who was fortunately able to stop in time. This issue affects the brakes, engine, steering, power train and all around safety. I was lucky that I was driving and that my kids were not in the car. I was going to pick them up.

My 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has lost power three times while driving on the roadway.the first time was in May 2018 while driving on U.S. hwy 9 (55 mph speed limit); the second time was in September 2018 on a secondary roadway and the third time was in September 2018 on a tertiary roadway. All three times the car remained on however the car would not move forward when the accelerator was depressed. I have returned the car to the dealership all three times. The first time the car remained at the dealership for 14 days. They claimed that they could not get the car to replicate the problem however they replaced a valvebody harness. The second time the car was taken to the dealership via flatbed the dealership told me they could not get the car to replicate the problem and they did no work related to the transmission. The car was taken to the dealership for the third time on September 15, 2018 and they, despite several requests, have told me that they will not be replacing the transmission. They have had the car for 17 days this time. I do not have a service invoice for this last visit as they still have the car..the car is not safe. The car should not on the road.

I have experienced repeated and worsening problems with my Pacifica shifting very roughly and multiple speeds, to the point where the car jerks and acceleration stalls. I have taken the car in multiple times to the factory dealer and they said the computer is not capturing any error codes, and they can't replicate the issue. This car has had multiple issues starting the day I bought it, and I think the car is just a lemon...would never buy another Chrysler product again! updated 10/18/18

Rear door and side doors open up while driving. Van stalls and sputters when taking off. When driving and turning the wheel to the right or left the steering wheel vibrates. It does not feel like the wheel is rubbing in the wheel well.

The van seems to have trouble shifting from 1st to 2nd gear when going to a low speed, moving forward. It happens out of no where, doesn't matter on the weather, temperature. The van was in motion on a city street and a parking lot. It is my guess it's the transmission.

The 2017 Chrysler Pacifica touring plus with all the latest known software recalls up to date as of 8/22/2018 experienced a full stall while under wide open throttle and attempting to enter a highway on ramp. The stall seemed like a transmission lag, shifting delay or lack of response. The engine from 0-20 mph had plenty of power (RPM's); then when switching gears it seems the power was cut for a full 3-5 seconds while the transmission made a shift and only after letting off the accelerator (even though there were 0 rpms) did it finally kick into motion again and pull out of the stall. The systems auto stop was disabled via the override button on the dashboard when this occurred and the gas tank was 40% full.

When ever driving down hill the brakes makes a loud noise (skipping thud sound) it feels and sounds like as the whole front suspension or brakes about to fall off the van. The other problem when turning the car at even at low speed when the road is wet the van suspension would make noise and tire wont grip. Happens many time pulling out from my drive way when its lightly wet.

Van loses ability to go forward while driving. Dash lights all come on and engine begins to cough and stutter leaving me stranded in traffic. Dash codes include "service electronic stability control, engine light, "parking brake temporarily unavailable, " and other dash icons. It will move forward at idle speed only-no accelerator. I have had it towed to Chrysler dealerships 3 times and was able to drive it in a fourth. This issue has nearly caused 2 accidents-one of them with the potential to cause serious harm. While moving in traffic the van stops going forward and decelerates quickly causing traffic behind it to have to swerve to avoid hitting it. It has also occurred in the middle of a turn from a stop onto a state highway. This instance required other drivers to swerve into another lane and onto the shoulder/curb to avoid hitting me or vehicles in other lanes. It has occurred immediately when starting the van in a parking lot. It has occurred at low speed in a subdivision. Chrysler refuses buyback and continues to tell me to drive the vehicle. All recalls have been done, the PCM has been reprogrammed/replaced 4 times, the "harness" has been fixed/replaced 3 times. Both of the sliding doors have had to have the motors replaced on separate trips to the dealership. This vehicle is an electrical nightmare and Chrysler is not dealing with it. This began at about 14,500 miles and within the 1st 7months of buying the vehicle brand new. I have been trying to get this resolved for 6 months with no help from Fiat Chrysler or the dealer- shuman Chrysler. They continue to make it run and let me drive it for a short period until it stops again. My family is going to be seriously hurt in this vehicle and there doesn't seem to be any recourse.

After pulling into a parking space or the driveway and stopping, when you use the rotary shifter to shift to park, the knob stops in reverse, and when you take your foot off the brake, you will reverse unexpectedly. I have not hit anything or anyone yet, but I have had a couple close calls in parking lots missing a passing car and pedestrian, due to the unintended reversing. This happens at random times with no apparent rhyme or reason. Additionally, the transmission has shifting problems when accelerating from a stop. Around 20mph, with light foot feed, the shift is delayed, so it doesnt shift into the next gear quickly, and you slow down unexpectedly until it finds the next gear, or slams back and forth between gears and you cannot accelerate anymore because it is slamming back and forth between the gears. Ive had to pull over before because I wasnt accelerating in traffic, and didntt want to get hit. Putting it in park for a few seconds, then starting again, and mashing the foot feed so im accelerating hard is the only way to recover from this event, and get past the 20mph mark without having shifting issues. Like the shifter stopping in reverse, this happens at random times, but is more easily reproduced, although not consistently.
