P0303 error code for misfire in the engine, 3rd Cylinder. Repair was completed by the dealer. It was 13,000 miles outside of drivetrain warranty. Now, the second failure is 3 months outside the 2year, unlimited mileage service warranty from when the head gasket and seat was replaced on the #3 cylinder. I just learned there was a class action ruling related to my model car and engine due to a faulty crankshaft. I have no idea if this could result in my current engine problems as I continue to have difficulty reaching the appropriate Chrysler representative to ask. I read in another class action lawsuit (which has been filed I believe by a law group on the East Coast, and then postponed due to COVID) for specific defects inside the engine resulting in misfires, hesitation during automatic shifting, and sudden increases in speed (which I have experienced during freeway driving). One of the symptoms of this issue is a ticking sound when the engine is turned off, which my car has always done, though I was told some years ago this is normal for this car. It took 3 weeks and about half a dozen calls to the dealer service department before I got a call back to schedule a diagnostic which is another 6 weeks out.

I was driving my van and the dash board turns on and off several times. It starts to light all lights while I'm driving. It was a scary situation while im driving my vans brakes while I'm in the freeway. This has happened several times. I also had my vehicle not turn on at all It stays locked and the dash boards says come error code. My vehicle jerks randomly and feels its gonna shut off. Had to tow the car to the dealer, no problem found. On another occasion my transmission was defective and it was changed.. It's has been taken to the dealer several times and I continue to have electrical issues and mechanical issues. I contacted the manufacturer and asked to do a buy back. The company refused and I explained all the issues that I have on my van and no resolution was made.

When driving my car will suddenly stall like it-??s trying to change gears and jerks back pretty bad when it speeds back up. I e taken it to the dealership a few times and they said it-??s normal. It seems to be getting more and more often. I also have bubbled paint on the hood of my car.

Intermittently the van when turned on has all error lights come on and will not shift into reverse. The sliding door will not close or open. Then the engine will loose power when finally getting the van to start and drive. All error lights go off after the van runs for a little while.

The contact owns a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle suddenly lost motive power before independently accelerating. The contact stated that the failure was intermittent. There was no warning light illuminated, nor messages displayed. The cause of the failure was not yet determined. The local dealer and manufacturer were not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 60,000.

My car was stalling out during the automatic on off system. It had completely died on me in the middle of the road and I had to have it towed to a dealership. They spent a week fixing it. The day after I got it back it died again. I dropped it off and its been 3 days and no word on why this is happening. I picked it up on the 3rd and it died on the 4th. I dropped it off on the 6th at 8Am. Its still currently in the shop 10:40 pm on Wednesday.

Started the vehicle, no prior issues. The check engine light came on, code was P0306. Cylinder 6 misfire. Found out the head gasket blew causing coolant to get into the cylinder. I had literally ZERO issues, no overheating, etc...I bought the car brand new in '17 and has around 85k miles. This is insane for the head gasket to fail this early.

For over a year now my van has been shutting down while sitting. The last few times now its been when I decelerate to turn it shuts off stops and goes into park. I used to be able to restart. The last 2 times while in the drive-thru it has shut off. I can't even put into neutral to push it. This is dangerous if this happens while driving it will be a fatality. I see other 2017 Pacificas had the same problem yet mine is not covered under the recall.

- Taylor, MI, USA

This vehicle like so many others have many problems with low miles! My van less than 70k mile and has a major oil leak! Chrysler will just give you the run around and you are stuck fixing it !! They know these split engine cars are junk and they left it to us consumer to fix it ! This should be a class action lawsuit because it-??s way too many of us owners out here experiencing the same problems

- Baltimore, MD, USA

P3 Misfire resulting in replacing coil packs, spark plugs, and head gasket. We are moving toward head or engine replacement like so many other people are but nobody is listening. Please help. Also, have a transmission that sometimes feels like you left a piece of the car after you leave from a stop.

I was driving and my car went in to on/off system and didnt turn back on. Got my car into park and it still would not turn on. I couldn't even get my car into neutral. The check engine light came on but my engine was not making any noise. It said it was on but was not actually on. This has happened a few times in the past couple weeks but the car always turned back on when put in park and started. When I called the dealership they would not be able to get me in till February 7th. That would have been 3 weeks waiting. So I called another one and I got an appointment for the following week ( date of appointment 1/26/23). I have documented these incidents on here. I saw yesterday that there is a recall on my car for this happening but my vin numberis not included on it. This was so unsafe for me and my children. Cars die while driving yes, but the fact that I couldn't even get it into neutral to get it pushed out of the middle of the road. It was a very busy road and it was morning traffic. I dont even feel safe in this car anymore.

Vehicle unexpectedly bucks and jerks when accelerating either from a complete stop or just keeping speed. This happens with no brake warning lights to those around you. It is a common issue experienced by many 2017 Pacifica van owners and has nearly caused an accident many times. Especially when trying to merge onto highways because the vehicle unexpectedly slows and bucks like your riding a bull and it is trying to throw you off. There is no way to predict exactly when this will happen in order to avoid a potential accident. Chrysler knows about the issue but refuses to acknowledge it.

- Langhorne, PA, USA

Known issue for 2017 Chrysler Pacifica should be eligible for recall. Failing head gasket around 60k miles, just as the vehicle is out of power train warranty. The system is leaking coolant into the engine, causing a fume-y smell to fill our garage when started, and a boiling/bubbling sound can be heard during idle. Confirmed the issue with an independent service center. The manufacturer won't do anything for us because the problem was not diagnosed while under warranty, however the issue has been difficult to diagnose because it could have been several other things. The check engine light comes on and the vehicle misfires upon starting.

I was driving my children to school and my car went into on off mode while ideling. When I tried to press the gass is did not go anywhere. I had to put it in park and then restart the car to continue driving. This is happening just like the 2018 recall on my car.

- Palmbay, FL, USA

I was at a stop light and my car went in to Idle mode and when I went to press the gas it would not go anywhere. I had to turn the car off completely and restart it. I then needed to get gas and when I went to turn the car back on it would not start.

I have had engine problems for over a year now. My car has had constant issues with rough idling and also jerking while driving. The jerking has been fixed for now but the rough idling has became worse to the point where the car feels as if it will stall out. My car has been at the dealership for repair since 12.22.22 and is still there today 1.11.23 - I was told by another repair shop (while getting brakes and an oil change ) that my car had 3 holes in the crankshaft and that was a problem because there should only be 2 holes. The dealership has replaced an EGR and now is talking about something on the engine to replace (but not the whole engine) and they have still not looked at the crankshaft to see if there are the incorrect number of holes. This is my primary vehicle and no one can seem to fix the problem

While driving home from a local store, all the dashboard lights came on and warning signals were heard. Our local repair shop diagnosed a blown headgasket. We are the original owners, 82,000 miles on the vehicle, this complaint is similar to complaints listed for this vehicle on the NTSB website.

- Woodstown, NJ, USA

Car began idling rough, we were told it needed spark plugs & batteries and that several different engine codes were coming off of it, 3 shops and final say was that the head gasket was blown. Total engine replacement needed less than 70k miles, vehicle never over heated
