My car on occasion had been feeling like it was cutting out, I thought I got some bad gas so I switched stations and noticed it less. Then about a month later, it just turned off in route. I was at a four way stop accelerated to go and it started out, I made it into the middle of the intersection and the car turned off. It gave a notice by steering column that it needs to be in park to start engine or something. It did it with about 13,000 miles on it. I was able to start the van after I put it in park with foot on brake and continue on. It happened so fast I was not sure what went wrong? now I read that many have had this happen as well. I am fearful now it will happen when I am going higher speeds, etc. This needs to be fixed!

With only 7300 miles on the odometer, as of this writing 11-21-17, my Pacifica has failed to start on 4 separate occassions. With each event, all the warning lights on the main and radio dash lit up and flashed on and off. Also, the wiper blades came on and stayed on, not being able to shut off with the designated switch. As well, numerous "warning windows" popped up on the center dash info screen...service electronic stability, park brake unavailable, blind spot alert unavailable service required, service tire pressure system, park sense unavailable, service air bag system, warning bells constantly chiming, entire dash goes completely dark and radio turns off and on by itself. The last attempt to start, 11-20-17, after numerous times in an hours time, the engine did start only to shut down almost immediately. The vehicle has been towed to my local Chrysler dealership twice now and is still there as of this writing. On the first event when towed in, I was told that a service writer also could not attempt to start the vehicle, but when the service tech tried, it did start. I was told to come pick up my vehicle that there were no error codes found and my vehicle was operating normally. I really dread the day when my Pacifica dies while driving, as that apparantly has happened to many dozens of other 2017 Pacificas already, placing the occupants in extreme danger. I just read an article in the New York times with regards to this dangerous issue and I near the point of demanding that Chrysler buy back my vehicle. I do have multiple videos taken on my cell phone but do not have the ability to upload them just yet.

My wife and I were returning from a trip to an appointment around 2:30 in the afternoon. We just exited off interstate 395 and were merging into traffic heading East on duke street. The light changed to yellow and required us to stop more aggressively than I typically would. We were traveling in a straight line and had to decelerate from 20 mph to complete stop within a matter of approximately 10 feet. Once our van came to a complete stop the car shut off. I didn't notice any message on the screen, but when I released the brake pedal, the vehicle started again. Afterwards, I thought back to the previous stop and thought I noticed some hesitation in acceleration, but didn't realize it until afterwards. The car was only purchased a month and a half ago and was purchased new. Unfortunately I do not have any photo evidence of the circumstances and the vehicle did not present a check engine light. The dealer we purchased from stated they didn't know what we were talking about, but offered we make an appointment and they would check the vehicle.

Driving in stop-and-go traffic (city side street) the car completely shut off when coming to a stop at a red light. No engine, no electronics, nothing. At first, I thought the car was out of gas. Had to put the car in park and restart the engine while traffic continued around me. At first, I thought this was a one-off problem, but after reading a NY times article, I became concerned. We have also had electrical problems (rear trunk door will sometimes not open, tv's did not function for some time).

My wife was driving home from work and slowing down to approach a red light. As she was slowing, the vehicle experienced total systems failure. The touch screen display became scrambled, steering was unresponsive and the vehicle slowed to a stop. My wife was unable to accelerate, shift gears or turn the vehicle off. Three police officers pushed the van into a nearby parking lot. During this time no one was able to turn the vehicle off or shift gears. Finally, the car essentially rebooted itself and all systems seemed to return to normal. The car was towed to the dealership on 10-27-17, 12 days after purchase with approximately 400 miles. The car has been at the dealership for 6 days now and no problems have been found. They have not been able to recreate the problem and no error codes were found. This means the car has now been in the shop for 1/3 of the time that has passed since we first drove off the lot. This failure is disturbingly similar to numerous other complaints that have been filed. Thank goodness my wife was slowing down when this happened or it could have caused a serious accident and even death. I refuse to allow my wife or children back in this vehicle with something so catastrophic happening after so few miles. I have opened a case with Chrysler and waiting for them to get back to me. I hope a formal investigation is started soon and Chrysler acknowledges the issue to protect the safety of everyone.

My wife was driving the car in stop and go traffic on the highway when it stalled out. She lost all power steering and power braking. She had to stop the car completely and put it in park before being able to restart. The problem kept recurring and she was only able to go a short distance each time. Luckily she was able to nurse the car off the highway and onto a side street to park it. I went back to the car the following week after it was parked and had the same problem only it seemed even worse. I would start the car, it would drive only a few feet and shut down completely. This happened repeatedly (maybe 5 times) until I decided to park it and call Chrysler. Called Chrysler and they said it had to be towed to the nearest dealer. It was picked up about 3 hours later. They called me about 3 days later and told me that the gas tank had been overfilled and it caused something to malfunction. This seems very hard to believe would be the cause of such a catastrophic failure. They said they needed to replace the fuel tank. About 2 weeks later, they had replaced the fuel tank, canister, valve, fuel cover and fuel module. I picked the car up and had no incidents driving home. That said, I am scared to drive this car or put my family in this car - particularly on the highway. I want Chrysler to buy this car back from me. I don?T want to be scared driving it every day...updated 11/07/17 updated 11/13/2017 updated 8/30/18

While driving, the engine stops and the dashboard and shifter lights start blinking. The message "vehicle must be in park to shift gears" displays on the dashboard. This is incredibly dangerous and has happened 3 times now. Our family was almost struck by oncoming traffic. Updated 11/9/2017

While driving down the road my vehicle experienced complete loss of power. I had to manually steer it to the side of the road. After several minutes it restarted and ran fine. This happened right at 6000 miles and again at 6973 miles, same scenario with both. The doors and radio is also acting odd. I beleive there is some sort of electrical issue. Both times before the vehicle powered down I was going 70 +miles an hour, heat came all the way on and power shut down. My star # is 1728582. Chrysler told me maybe I was driving to fast"??" vehicle us only 3 months old. Dealership confirmed they had another Pacifica in the shop for the same reason...updated 11/07/17 updated 11/09/2017

On 6 different occasions my 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has shut down while driving. The car is in motion and the engine turns off. The screen displays "put car in park and press start button". at this point the car is coasting along the road. You have to attempt to get off the road and put the car in park to restart. The car does restart, but this is highly dangerous. My vehicle is currently at the dealer where I am being told they are unable to duplicate the issue....updated 10/25/17 updated 10/27/2017

All warning lights started flashing on the dash. Engine automatically cut off in the middle of the road. Started up car again and drove for a mile then engine cut off again in the middle of the road.

2017 Pacifica touring-L engine shutdown completely when driving at about 35-40 mph on a city street when I slowed down from 45 mph. The van is less than a year old and has about 10000 miles on it. Screen displayed message 'shift to park and restart vehicle'. I tried restarting without stopping the car as there were cars behind me and I saw the message "too fast to shift to park" and the power steering was also cut off because it is electronic. I had to park on the shoulder and restart after a complete stop. Contacted my Chrysler dealer and he told me that unless there is a code no diagnosis is possible. I've dropped my car today morning - no updates as yet. Updated 10/25/17 updated 10/27/2017 updated 12/04/17 updated 7/20/18

The vehicle suddenly appeared to shift into neutral, while still in "drive", going approximately 40 mph. The accelerator was completely unresponsive and driver was unable to shift into another gear. The vehicle repeatedly said "not in park" while in park, showed the reverse camera while in drive, and would not accelerate when in drive. Fortunately the driver noticed the check engine light had come on and was pulling into a gas station when the unresponsive accelerator occurred, otherwise a collision would most definitely have happened..updated 10/25/17

My touch screen is unresponsive three fourths of the time that I try it. You are going to make me put a specific date here but that does not apply because it's been since the beginning and here I am and it right now and it's doing it again.

While stopped, the vehicle lost power and displayed a message "vehicle must be in park to shift" or something along those lines. Luckily the vehicle was stopped and not moving when it lost power. This is very serious because all propulsion from the vehicle was lost. The car did restart after it was shifted into P and the start button was pushed (with a foot on the brake). Chrysler has known about this issue for months now via the online forum discussing the issue and appears to be doing nothing about it proactively and is certainly not communicating about the issue with its customers.....updated 11/03/17 updated 11/07/2017

Car shut down while in drive, 5300 current miles. I was driving in heavy traffic in nyc and car shut down, earlier in the day I was at a dealership in safford va and they performed software updates because the day before in Florida windows opened and closed on their own in the front passenger side, cluster panel went on and off and battery light came on. Battery maintained its 14 amp charge for the next 90 miles I needed to reach autotrain in sanford Florida. I immiediately went to service in safford Virginia and they said it was an up[date issue.

I was driving on a highway (with my kids in the backseats) and suddenly (for no reason) the vehicle lost all electricity (including, power steering, engine, headlights, dashboard lighting). The dashboard only said "put car into park and restart." Thankfully, I was able to pull over partially onto the side and restart the car after it was in park. (this happened a second time a few minutes later but in that case the electricity came back on itself after a few moments.) this was a scary and dangerous experience.....updated 11/03/17 updated 11/09/2017
