This happened on two occasions. I came to a complete stop, and the auto start stop shut the engine off like it's supposed to. However, when this happened a bunch of warnings came across my dash, saying certain safety features were disabled and the car wouldn't respond to the gas pedal. I had to put the car into park and restart my car. I took it to the dealer and they couldn't find anything wrong. It happened again after having it back for three days, and they said there was an 'update' for it. However when I picked up my car they didn't give me any paperwork to sign.

On numerous occasions the navigation screen would go black or freeze up. On multiple occasions the uconnect theater would not work. Everytime we took it to the dealership said it was fine and didn't investigate the issue. Recently, we went to the store made several stops at different stores on our last stop the van would not recognize the keys. We couldn't lock or unlock the van. I had to pull out the emergency key to get into the van. Once inside the van didn't recognize the keys. I ended up having to google the issue for a work around to get home. The entire ride there was a display stating that the key was not in the vehicle. We made on more stop and an left the van running. Ten minutes later it recognized the key and a uconnect starting working again. The van is a 2018 and less than a year old. This is unacceptable for a new vehicle.

On Sunday January 13th while getting off highway lost power steering while taking exit. Due to lack of power steering van went off the road up an embankment and damaged vehicle. I called Chrysler on 1/14/2019 and reported issue. Claim #57836097. I was told that someone from incident reporting team would be contacting me within 4-5 days. I have since called them again on 1/22/2019 and again today 1/28/2019. I have no choice but to drive vehicle because I am a 100% disabled veteran and in a powerchair. The van is customized for my powerchair and my only means of transportation. The power steering keeps going out intermittently and now other electrical issues are occuring now as well. The passenger side window comes down on its own, traction control light on dash goes on and off, stability warning flashes on dash and of course power steering light comes on and says service. Prior to the incident on the highway off ramp the steering went out for a few seconds. I brought it to Bonneville dealer in manchester nh and they told me it was just a fluke. Obviously it was not a fluke and my van is now damaged. Drivers side sliding door does not close right and is bent upwards and not sure what else may be damaged. Waiting on Chrysler for next step.

The car was bought brand new in October of 2018. Towards the end of December, the car stopped working. Luckily, we were at home when this happened, but basically, the car would not start despite various attempts. We brought it into the dealership and it has since been "worked on" for the past month, but still to get a diagnosis......

Car stalled and began smoking profusely when attempting to accelerate after being stopped at a red light. Car was repaired as per recall (which was known about at the time but we were told it should not have affected our car). Car continued to smell of smoke after transition from electric to gas mode. Dealer was unable to pinpoint why.

While stopped at a stop sign the vehicle's auto stop/start function disabled the engine as normal. When I lifted my foot off the brake to engage engine the car stalled and "service auto start/stop" displayed on screen. Then the screen indicated to put the vehicle in park. After I put the vehicle in park I restarted the vehicle and operated normally. Vehicle was purchased new and has 1,200 miles on it. I will be taking the vehicle to my dealer for assessment.

While driving - slowing to a stop for a stoplight, my car's computer screens started flashing various warnings to restart the engine. At this point, the car was not responsive to the gas pedal / would not move and the power steering was also not functional. I had to put on my hazards, put the car in park and turn off and turn back on the engine.

The car has lost power on several occasions. When stopped at a stop light/stop sign car shuts off completely and loses power. I brought the car to the dealer last week, they completed an update- however just today the car lost power on a main road which happens to be right in front of the dealer. I pulled in completely shaken as I had my daughter in the car and cars were coming from behind not realizing I am stalled in the road. I have left the car at the dealer. It is so dangerous and scary as I bought this car as a family car and I can't feel comfortable driving it.

This morning my 2018 hybrid limited was dead. I purchased it new three weeks ago. It had been plugged in overnight using the 110 charger that came with the van. It would not start, and briefly flashed some kind of service needed warning on the screen. Then the screen turned off and the vehicle repeatedly made a clicking sound. The van was completely unresponsive. I noticed the windshield wipers were ever so slowly in motion back and forth. I checked the switch but the wiper was set to the 'off' position. None of the wiper controls would change the setting. The dealership set me up with a number for Chrysler tow. I was on the phone about 20ft away when suddenly the van started rolling backward down the driveway and into the street! I ran over and checked it and still everything was unresponsive, the wipers no longer moving however the parking brake button, and shifter buttons, and overhead lights were flashing. We had the van towed to the dealership. They said the battery was bad and replaced it. Below is a post about my experience with more information and videos: Https://www.pacificaforums.com/forum/433-2017-Chrysler-Pacifica-phev-hybrid-general-discussion/41697-battery-dies-Pacifica-hybrid-rolls-out-driveway-into-street.html also here is video taken immediately after it rolled. Note the interior lights actively flashing including the parking brake indicator as well as the digital shifter knob lights. Https://youtu.be/6_ly7blnjns https://youtu.be/jfcp0idbfqi also, after researching online I found someone else who also had the brakes disengage with 12V battery issue.. her experience can be found here (see post #3): Https://www.pacificaforums.com/forum/433-2017-Chrysler-Pacifica-phev-hybrid-general-discussion/40261-brand-new-hybrid-completely-died.html Chrysler needs to address this serious and dangerous issue!

While stopped at a traffic light in our town the van shut off and the electrical system starting sending me messages on the dashboard that the lane sense was not operating. I had my foot on the brake and tried several times to move the gear selector to park but it was locked in place. The ignition said it was in the run position which indicates the car should be running but it was not. The brake pedal was firm too, as it would be when the car is off. Finally after several attempts I was able to move the gear knob to park and then restart the car. I could have easily been rear ended, this was very scary and unacceptable on Chrysler's part.

While approaching a traffic light the car came to a stop and completely shut down. I had to turn shifter of the car from drive to park and then restart the car. This is the 4th time this has happened. Scary time as the first time it happened I was making a legal K turn and the car shut off as I stopped the car before putting the car in reverse. I was T'd in the middle of the road. The first time occurred was 11/23/18 then again 12/18/018, again 12/21/18 and today 1/3/2018

While just driving down the highway a constant alert beeping & 'brake now' is flashed on the dashboard! scares you to death. And when you do brake as it says that could cause rear end accident. This has happened 3times! when van is started the 2 back sliding doors and the back hatch all open up without any buttons being touched.

When completing a stop at traffic lights, the vehicle start/stop system shuts off the engine and without warning it has not restarted automatically leaving us expecting to take off and having to put the vehicle back in park while in traffic and then restart the engine and move gear selector back to the drive position. I've nearly been rear-ended due to this several times. I have counted 7 times this malfunction has happened. When checking the vehicle for any dtc's there have never been any.

We purchased our 2018 Chrysler Pacifica in early October 2018 and have since put less than 3,000 miles on the odometer. Today, while driving on a level rural road near our home, a couple of warning lights started flashing out of nowhere: One indicating that blind-spot monitoring was disabled, and another re: Electronic stability control. Not long after we started up a hill a half-mile later, the accelerator stopped responding. We were slowing down. Then, the car basically stalled and came to a stop. More warning lights and sounds came on, including a check engine light, and one indicating that we needed to service the transmission. Then on the display above the wheel, a message said that we needed to turn off the engine to engage the parking brake. We called 911 in hopes of having an officer help direct traffic while we waited for a tow, as we were stopped around a curve and at a high risk of getting rear-ended. The car wasn't responding when I attempted to turn the engine off. I wasn't able to shift the car into park, either (the light above each gear flashed when I tried to shift away from drive). Also, the hazard lights wouldn't turn on, and nor would the parking brake (I had to keep my foot on the brake to prevent the car from rolling backward down the hill). As we waited for the tow truck, the lights on the dash continued to flash and the alarms continued on. At some point, I once again tried to turn the car off. It worked. Then, when I turned the car on again, only a check engine light came on. The tow truck driver also had no issue reversing the van up onto the bed of his truck.
