Car, with no warning, lost all acceleration while driving approximately 35 mph and flashed several warning lights on dashboard including electronic stability control, forward collision warning, service forward collision warning, and electronic park brake failure. In addition, the shifter knob light blinks and switches to 'P'. at that point, I can only drift the car to a stop. In my case I was able to turn the car off, then restart it and the issue did not occur again for another 4 days. After 4 days, the exact same thing happened, this time while I was stopped at a red light. Took the car in for service and was told they performed a software update on the transmission and the car was fixed. I got about 1 mile from the dealer and the exact same thing happened while driving at approximately 30 miles per hour. Drove car back to the dealer and they have the car now again trying to figure out what is wrong.

On 2 different occasions our Chrysler Pacifica has "stalled out" while we were driving. Both instances occured while we were on a hill. The first was pulling up into a driveway after the vehicle was stopped and we tried to pull forward. The second happened when we were on the road at a stop sign facing uphill. As we started to try and drive forward from the stop sign, the engine shut off. In both instances, the car had to put in park and restarted. We have only had the vehicle a little over two monthsand there were less then 2,000 miles on the vehicle.

I reported this issue to my dealer 8/21/17 and have the email chain saved. The dealer couldn't replicate the issue. While driving 60-70 mph on 5 lane highway, engine shut down. Luckily, I was in the far right hand lane and was able to muscle my vehicle over to the burm (there was no power steering). Message on dash said 'shift to P to park' or something like that. My vehicle was in drive and I couldn't shift it to park. Eventually it began working. I have 6 kids and don't feel safe driving them in the vehicle. Happened a few thousand miles ago; vehicle currently has 10,500 miles. Hasn't happened again, but have to consider the possibility it could. Have also dealt with thumping under the driver side floor, a new pause between park or reverse and shifting to drive, and the vehicle recently got stuck in a gear while driving. I've also had the A/C compressor replaced, ambient temperature gauge replaced, dvd player replaced, and am waiting for the new radio to arrive, among other issues. My vehicle is a lemon in my opinion.
