I purchased a 2017 Pacifica from a dealer. I have had the van not start twice for me at home in the driveway and now once at work. I had just shut the van off and went to restart it and it stalled twice. The third time all the gauges and went crazy it wouldn't start. I have owned this vehicle for 4 months, it had been in the shop a total of 6 weeks, 2 weeks each occurance. I was just informed by the dealership that it was a battery drain and it cannot be recreated. I am not confident in driving my new vehicle any distance in fear that I will be stranded because it will not start. Super unhappy.

Driving, pulling out of driveway and vehicle shut off, would not shift or restart

I had a problem with the electronic injection for more than 3 times, and a piece that was solved was replaced. A short time later, on my alternator, it had to be changed. Now I'm having trouble with my air conditioner, which freezes and stops to freeze suddenly. Probably an electrical problem or some part that does not start and does not start the compressor.

Our 2017 Pacifica was repaired in the fall of 2017 under recall #T23 (egr valve function defect). Now, our vehicle is experiencing the stalling problems described in the more recent U01 recall. The Chrysler dealership refuses to apply the U01 fix to our car, stating that the earlier recall fix should have fixed the problem. At this time, the vehicle experiences intermittent stalls at low speed and at idle, and has slammed to an immediate stop if the issue occurs when moving. It is unsafe to drive.

The lane keep assistant (lanesense) system went offline and stated it needed service. Took to the dealer and they stated the lower front camera needed to be replaced. When the dealer was asked if the problem is common, they could not answer. This is the same part on every Fiat Chrysler of America vehicle with this feature. This system has the ability to take the control of the vehicle from the driver and direct the vehicle in the appropriate direction. If this item is functioning incorrectly, it has the potential to steer the vehicle into other vehicles and on coming traffic. This feature failed while the vehicle was in motion at near highway speeds (55 mph) in heavy traffic.

Bought new, currently has approx. 1200 miles on it. Van has stalled while driving multiple times while showing error messages including "stop/start unavailable, service stop/start system", the letter a! with an arrow around it. When van stalls the gear knob flashes in "D" or drive mode. Taken to service for first incident week of 4/16, dealership replaced the ECM. Picked up vehicle on 4/18 and stalled again on 4/22 and 4/23 while showing the exact same error messages. Towed to dealer on 4/24 and they kept it until 4/30 with no fix as they said they could not replicate the errors or stalling. Picked up the van on 4/30 and the vehicle stalled again and exhibited the same error codes while not even a quarter mile from leaving the dealership. I pulled over, put the van in park, started the van again and took it back to the dealer and the onsite manager took a picture of the error code a! and it is still in service for the 3rd time. I have pictures and videos to support my issues. This vehicle absolutely stalls while driving. I have notified Chrysler Corp directly and they are monitoring the service done at the dealership.

Several times while driving, the car has lost all electrical power. Car was purchased new in May 2016. 1) when driving at approx 50mph, the vehicle lost all internal power - radio, lights, gauges, etc. Braking and steering were unaffected. Pulled over and shut off vehicle. After 5 minutes, restarted normally. In response to this, the dealer replaced the instrument cluster. This was the first incident, occurring summer 2017. 2) when driving in a parking lot, approx 10mph, the vehicle lost all power and came to an abrupt stop. Passengers were disturbed and concerned, but not injured. After a few minutes, the vehicle restarted normally. 3) when idling (stopped) in a drive-thru line, the car lost all power. No controls in the vehicle worked, nor did the keyfob. Car would not restart. Driver opened and re-closed the vehicle door, at which time the vehicle restarted with a quick succession of error messages on the instrument cluster regarding the liftgate and other systems. This is the most recent incident, occurring 30-April-2018. This is a safety concern, making us hesitant and scared to drive the vehicle. Please help.

The car failed to start. I was not able to press the brake down at all to start the car. I tried 3 times then let it sit for a few minutes and tried again. It finally started. The power doors wouldn't work and the battery meter was going crazy from zero to midway. Power was not consistent. It took a few minutes for my screen and reverse cam to come on. There was a loud pop like a power surge and the screen came on after that along with the radio. While driving on a city street the car completely died. This happened again further on my route home while turning car completely died and I had no control over the steering as well. I was not able to depress the brake to start it again for a few seconds. It finally started and the battery was running wonky the rest of the way home. The A/C was fading in and out as well. Car continues to have fluctuating battery power on startup.

As of today, my new van has been in service 13 of the 15 days I have owned it. Not even 12 hours after bringing my new van home, I noticed some lagging/slight jerk after braking going around 20 mph. The next day, in a neighborhood (thank goodness) after turning right after a stop sign, the check engine light came on with a ding and blinking and I was unable to accelerate. I coasted into my friends driveway to put in park and the van began to shake. This went on a few min and because I was on my way to work, I left the driveway and continued on my way for 10 min. The check engine light came on two more times after that. After four days in service, they finally concluded it was the O2 sensors and replaced all of those. After it was fixed, my husband couldn't even make it home before the check engine light came back on. As of yesterday, computer modules have been updated and the check engine light still comes on and they can't pinpint where the misfire is happening.

Purchased vehicle in August 2017 and have been experiencing problems since then. Grinding noise started to occur around 1000 miles. It would occur intermittently around surface street driving speeds. Sound appeared to come from driver side. Harder grinding noise occurred around 7000 miles intermittently, with it occurring both in cruise control and out of cruise control. Lurching forward when shifting gears also occurred around the 1000 mile mark. Was told this was "normal". but how can it be normal when the vehicle is brand new. Was told the softer grinding noise and louder grinding noise were both normal and result of power steering. However, I wasn't ever steering when the sounds occurred. Lastly, the biggest complaint is that the car stalled twice around 13,000 miles. Both times at the stop-light (thank god) and accelerating. First time the entire electrical component shut off. Placed the car into park and pushed the "start" button again. The second time the car would not accelerated, instead lurched forward as if we were being rear-ended, made a loud clunk noise and just stopped. Both times no accidents occurred thank god. Regardless, the safety of my family should not at this much risk when we purposely bought a brand new vehicle with all safety features.

Right sliding door does not close on own. It stalls out and has to be manually closed. This problem started in October 2017 and continues to the present.

On a city street vehicle accelerated on its own; subsequently lost power and would not accelerate. Warning light; 'electrical throttle control issue' manual recommended turning the vehicle off and on. After that the problem remained--I.e., would not accelerate. Coasted downhill to home but could not get up the driveway incline. Turned vehicle off and waited an hour. Got it up the incline. Called dealer service. Recommended having it towed. Towed to dealer. Service tested and could not find a problem. Suggested that I had stepped on the accelerator and brake at the same time. Don't think I did. Or was this the same problem (stalling) that has caused the Canadian Agency to issue a recall on this vehicle?

The 2017 Pacifica caught fire due to a break in the pigtail wire from the air compressor. The air conditioning was not working and when I took it to my local Chrysler dealership they told me we had a fire and it had burnt the air compressor, and other parts of the engine and splash guard. The vehicle caught fire and we didn't know when or how until the garage looked at why the air conditioning was not working. I have contacted Chrysler as I'm am concerned about this being a safety hazard for other vehicles that they have produced and got no help from them or concern of our safety. I raised that I will concern of the safety of the vehicle and advised I would not let my wife drive this again due to it catching fire and the lack of Chrysler concern into looking at the matter.
