We took a 7 hr trip in our 2017 Pacifica on sat back home from vacation. The next day we drove to a local movie theater. We observed several warning lights appear for no reason. The next day the van would not start. Both batteries are dead. We used a battery charge to charge main battery but it would only charge to 11,6 and will not start the van. We tried jumper cables. Nothing will start the van. When roadside assistance came to tow the van to the shop the manual park release did not work and the rear tires were locked. Something is seriously draining the battery as soon as you take it off the battery charger. Something in the computer is sucking all the life from the battery. Very frustrating since I just took the van into the shop a couple of weeks ago to get the fourth recall issue fixed.

Engine stalling when idle or during take off but quickly restarts when putting it in park. At times it goes directly to park on its own after shutting down. Recently the vehicle lost power while driving around 50 mph. I coasted to the stop light put it in park and it restarted. Loosing power completely after stalling but after a few minutes of waiting it restarts. Shift service warning appears but resets before taking it to dealer. Often shift indicator lights don't work but will after the car restarts hours later. Windows go down on their own while driving.

At least 6 times in the past 8 months the vehicle has failed to start. It behaves as if both batteries are dead. After using a trickle charger I can get the car to start. It's been returned to the dealer numerous times. Each time they report that they charged the batteries and everything is fine and Chrysler will not let them replace either battery since "no error code is reported". supposedly they checked the charging system as well as looked for a parasitic draw and found nothing. We are afraid to use the vehicle lest we get stuck far from home. In desperation I replaced the main battery at my expense. In all cases the problem occurred when the vehicle was parked in our drive. Some cases overnight and others after returning from an errand run.

I have taken this vehicle in for repairs multiple times and it is schedule for repairs again this week. There have been multiple electrical issues including problems with the sliding doors, anti lock brake system had to be replaced, the battery system is grounding out, issues with the radio screen, and now the auto on off system is not working. In addition, I had to take the vehicle in for the ball joints bolts coming loose three time and they just used loctite to make them say on. They never realigned the vehicle and now I have to replace tires that are unsafe. Chrysler should own this and I am still convinced the ball joints could be damaged from this issue and they should replace them. However, the biggest issue is the transmission. It will be going in for the fifth time this week for the same issue that the dealer keep claiming is how I drive it. When taking off from a dead stop the transmission hesitates, which is a serious safety issue. Also, when driving and you let off the accelerator to brake it will hammer real hard. This a serious safety issue and Chrysler and the dealer refuse to own it. I filed my second complaint with Chrysler last week. This all needs to be resolved so I have a safe vehicle for my family. I feel they are stalling so my warranty will run out and I have no recourse.

We have had a few continuing problems since the original purchase of a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica braunability van. The car has had electrical issues and on 3 or 4 occasions has suddenly shut off or stopped working. One time may have been related to a car accident my husband was in. He collided with another car in 2018, immediately after the accident the car was not running, but he hadn't turned it off. It started back up again but this happened 2 or 3 times this year with different electrical features not working making the car inoperable at times. In addition, the air conditioning system has continuously been dysfunctional. We have had it to the dealership a few times for this problem. Most recently it was fixed a couple months ago and it is again not working.

When closing the driver side sliding door, it bounces back open one to multiple times before latching shut 90% of the time. We confirm there is nothing in the way of it closing. We have taken it to the dealership under warranty multiple times and they always state it cannot be replicated. Also, on the passenger side sliding door if something gets in the way it will only open a small portion versus opening all the way up or shutting completely. If a child puts their foot up, the door will stop without opening back up. There is no alert/warning on the dashboard and you easily drive away with the sliding door partially open, very dangerous. Another item, if you leave a back door open, the van will allow you to put it in gear without manually taking off the parking assist or again notifying you there is an open door. It will not do you any good to send pictures but I can certainly send a video. This is been ongoing since April 2018 when we purchased the vehicle initially.

First, the two batteries in the vehicles are failing prematurely. Ours just failed about a week after the start/stop system light activated on dash. Our van was parked for 7 days at an airport and upon returning from vacation the batteries were dead and unable to be recharged. Ironically, my sister-in law in California whom we were visiting, had the exact same problem with theirs while we were there. Again, a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. My research shows this is a reoccurring issue all across the country according to google research and carcomplaints.com. Some people are having their van die or stall while in motion. Second, there is a problem with the paint bubbling up around the hood edges. Again, my research on google and carcomplaints.com reveals many are suffering this bubbling paint issue. Last, the transmission has an extremely hard shift intermittently between 10 to 15 mph. So hard in fact, it feels as if you have been rear ended. Again, research on google and carcomplaints, com and Pacifica forums, indicate this is not an isolated issue. Many are experiencing this issue.

I have had multiple electrical problems with my 2017 Pacifica that began roughly one year into my 39 month lease (currently 22 months in). The auto start/stop indicator and a message saying the hood is open when it's not repeatedly shows on the dash when driving and when stationary. These issues were supposedly "fixed" twice now with a third appointment in a few weeks (takes forever to get in to the dealer and I'm fed up with having to rent a vehicle while the dealer "fixes" the problem). Also, the car has stalled at least 10 times in the past year, most recently yesterday, which requires me to shift to park and restart the vehicle. This too was supposedly "fixed" each time the dealer had it in the service dept. I was very lucky that the car was sitting idle at a red light or stop sign during each of these occurrences. I would hate to think of what could happen if I was driving at any rate of speed and the vehicle stalled. Additionally, the battery indicator has come on twice now in the past two days, which suggests the battery isn't charging right. However, I checked the battery via the vehicle information section on the dash and the battery is running appropriately. I will continue to monitor that as well and have the dealer check it at the appointment in a few weeks. With all of that being said, these problems should not be occurring in a vehicle that is not even two years old! these are safety concerns that have the potential to cause serious harm to the driver/passenger of the Pacifica as well as innocent bystanders. It is noteworthy that I currently have 21K miles on the vehicle. These issues began around the 12K mile mark.
