Rear seat anchor broke out of floor board when a child sat in the seat. This is a major anchor point for the seat system. If there had been any sort of accident, the seat and occupant could have easily broken free from the vehicle. I took the vehicle to my local dealer, who took pictures and sent information to their area manager. The recommended repair was to take it to body shop and that they wouldn-??t be responsible for the repairs. This is clearly a manufacturing defect that the weld on the anchor did not penetrate into the floor board. I can be contacted for more information and inspection.

This vehicle comes equipped with Stow N Go middle seats. It is a useful feature for sure. However, upon placing one of the seats back into its locked position, the headrest would no longer stay locked in its upright position. Upon taking the headrest apart to try to fix the issue, I found a very cheap plastic mechanism inside that had snapped. This very flimsy plastic piece is very much liable to fail in an accident, and cause the headrest to flop forward and not provide the support required.

The engine start/stop feature of this van is faulty and Chrysler knows it. Because they do not have a fix for this issue they cannot place a recall. This issue is not limited to my personal van. Our particular vehicle has less than 13,000 miles and has been in the service department 5 times. 3 for the same issue. We have stalled out in intersections 4 times. One time we (wife and children) were almost struck by a truck. This is a serious safety issue. Again Chrysler is aware and only offered an extended service agreement.

3rd row Pacifica seats have a button to recline seats back and forward within reach of children in car seats which causes car seats to become loose and no longer installed properly. This is a family vehicle and I am concerned this will cause injury because there is no way to disable or child lock the seat recline. Attempts to contact the dealership and Chrysler customer service has led to no immediate resolve or acknowledgment that this could cause injury to children in car seats. The button is available for use while the car is in motion or parked.
