My 2017 Pacifica has had many electrical problems with the windows, sunroof, sliding doors, navigation, electronic screen, and rear hatch which have been repaired except for the passenger window & sunroof. But the problem that I have told the dealership about repeatedly and they say they can never recreate is that the car doesn't accelerate often times until after the car glides into the intersection, and when it does it lurches forward. I drive cautiously because I know I am at risk of getting hit if the engine doesn't kick in the next time I turn in front of oncoming traffic! this has been going on since I bought the car.

Since purchasing our Pacifica, we have had nothing but issues that seem to not be getting resolved with Chrysler besides continuously in the shop. We purchased the vehicle brand new so we would not have the hassle of an unreliable vehicle. The vehicle has left us stranded with less than 30,000 miles on it. While driving down the interstate, the back hatch came open. After pulling over to fix this, as I had kids in the car, the vehicle kept opening. The dealership explained that there was a recall and fixed the issue.Chrysler was very difficult to work with through the first issue. The case manager said that I was exaggerated over the issues.we then had the automatic start/stop go out, this caused our display screen to freeze up as well to where we could not use our controls. At this time we again begin experiencing issues with the back hatch again. Upon contacting Chrysler a new case number was given and we were once again sent to the dealership. Shortly after being in the shop, I dropped my child off at soccer practice. When I returned to my vehicle the whole system shut down and doors opened and would not close all electrical was shut down. The vehicle had to be towed and was in service department for a week. We were left with one vehicle trying to haul our 5 children around with work as well. Recently the 9-1-1 is stuck on and freezes the display screen, along with the driver passenger sliding door opening without command of the button. The vehicle is scheduled to be serviced....again. This has been an ongoing issue to the point we do not feel safe hauling our family but financially are unable to trade in, leaving us stuck with a hefty car payment and unreliable vehicle. We would not feel comfortable trading this car in for another family as well.

The vehicle will stall and then hard shift from first to second gear. We initially noticed the hard shifting when we bought the vehicle but thought it might be the auto stop/start system. We didn't think much of it until it started shifting harder when we would stop or be driving. This, at times, caused issues when turning or accelerating to go through an intersection. The vehicle stalling causes a safety hazard and presents an opportunity for an accident to occur due to the delayed response of the vehicle. The cars following behind could potentially rear end the vehicle. The hard-shifting feels like someone hit you from behind and causes back and neck pain from the sudden jerking movement. This vehicle has also completely stopped when being driven causing a serious safety hazard. It started up again immediately after that incident only to not start at all a few months later. This vehicle has been nothing but trouble for us from the very beginning. We stayed optimistic that the recalls would fix the issues. They haven't. it's only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or heaven forbid dies because of this issue. We have had 8+ service visits for this van. At one time it was completely inoperable and had to be towed to the service department. We are frustrated with Chrysler and the service department at ancira Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge in san antonio, tx.

While the vehicle was in motion on the highway, the uconnect system repeatedly displayed requests for setting a time during which the system would undergo an over-the-air software update. This dialog box could not be easily dismissed or cleared. I chose and set a time for the update; however, this request dialog was reinstantiated anytime a button was pressed, thus effectively rendering the touchscreen interface (including the navigation) unusable. The dialog had a default time for the system to update. This was set to the current time plus one minute. While attempting to clear the dialog and use the navigation, this default time was inadvertently chosen. One minute later, while the vehicle was in motion on the highway, the uconnect system initiated a software update which completely shut down the touchscreen interface and displayed a warning which said that the vehicle should be stopped and in park. As the car was in motion on the highway, this warning could not be immediately complied with. The repeated dialog boxes were incredibly distracting. The fact that the driver could inadvertently initiate a software update while in motion is not only dangerous but astoundingly absurd.

I purchased a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica in October 2016 and it has given me nothing but problems ever since then. Within the first year I took the vehicle back to the dealership multiple time for a wide range of issues 1. the main issue was a hesitation in acceleration (this problem is ongoing) each time we took it in they said that because they couldn't duplicate the problem they couldn't diagnose it, but when we got it home the problem always came back. It just continued to get worse, the warranty we purchased ran out and the vehicle ended up getting towed multiple times for repairs for the fuel system at another dealership (because I lost confidence in the dealership of purchase). The fuel system problem is dangerous because it stalls, stops, and shuts off in traffic. 2.the passenger (right-rear) turn signal and reverse light (right) wiring had to be repaired and is now out again also very dangerous when people don't know you're turning right, we've almost been rear-ended several times due to not having a working rear signal. 3.the lift gate stopped working 4.the engine sounds rough like its ready to shut off. Most of these issues were reported and/or repaired while the vehicle was still under warranty. Now that the warranty has expired all of the cost are my responsibility. A loaner car is no longer an option so I have to pay for rentals or miss work. Copies of the many roadside calls and tows attached.

A/C and heat fan will spontaneously increase and decreased power, dash lights will pulse brightness, dash will flash "electrical failure" "parking brake failure", and power steering starts to fail. Feels unsafe to drive

While driving, the car disabled radio and navigation to put up an alert to schedule a software update. Attempting to dismiss this alert by selecting a time resulted in the alert coming back. When I hit 'cancel' to block the update, the vehicle decided to perform a software update while driving. The vehicle created an reoccurring driver distraction, and then unsafely performed a software update while driving, during which it disabled emergency services.

Yesterday morning my battery voltage while driving was fluctuating to low erratically. When I tried to make left turn the battery voltage immediately dropped down drastically to point or cutoff and nearly caused a collision. It then jumped back up to 14.4V and held that consistently. A few hours later it dropped down while driving. The dashboard didn't have any lights lit and the battery strength was fine other than the erratic fluctuations. I googled and saw there was a recall for this issue on my vehicle type and year. Phone dealership to tell them my car was unsafe and performed erratically because of battery issue. Despite the article from May 2019 pertaining to this same exact issue, they said I didn't have a recall on my car. I did research and it showed the stalling I've experienced was due to battery connector issues. This morning I got into my vehicle just fine. Turned on car and immediately the battery voltage gauge on dash was erratically fluctuating non stop forn10 mins and the car was sounding like it was shutting on and off on its own. The dash lit up and now a icon for emergency steering pops up and stays lit. All of this relates to the mandatory recall article in May 2019 but the dealership says otherwise. Not feeling like dealer is being honest and has best interest of my safety. I attached pic in upper left corner of the emergency steering icon that stayed on as well as shows my battery charge as fine at that moment but was erratically fluctuating when I took the pic this morning

We have had multiple issues with our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. The first issue is when we accelerate between 10 and 20 mph our vehicle revs up and jerks really bad. Literally feels like you have been rear ended. It is like the gear is slipping or it can't find the next year to go into. Another issue we are having is with the drivers side sliding door. I usually have to try to shut it multiple times for it to stay shut. On multiple occasions I have had to hit the button 3-4 times for it to stop popping back open. The last issue is our start/stop feature. It has completely stopped working and it shows a code on the dash. These are all issues we have been dealing with for months.

After several stops for shopping the van would crank over but not start, repeatedly. After 15 minutes of trying and a 5 minute cooldown the van started.

- Put In Bay, OH, USA

Vehicle was being driven at approximately 35 mph when it spontaneously became extremely lower on power and lost all power steering along with numerous error messages and dash lights being illuminated. The van was able to be driven into a parking lot where it was restarted and driven through the lot. After approximately 30 seconds the van had the exact same issue but this time was not able to be restarted. Martins Chrysler of untion grove Wisconsin came and picked up the vehicle. The owner of martins said the vehicle started but then he experienced the same issue we had. Aside from some start/stop and electrical/charging system error messages previously there was no warning at the time of this incident. We've had the van in before for these error messages but the dealer never found the cause of the issue.

Back up camera has start to malfunction. More times than not when you go into reverse the camera either comes up black, black with warning lines, blue screen, fuzzy pictures, great pictures then you move and it freezes. This is becoming ridiculous with a pretty much brand new vehicle. Needs to be addressed and fixed properly.
