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.

My 2018 Chrysler Pacifica keeps stalling while driving. I found a recall from 2017 that matches my car exactly! recall U01. Dealership as well as Chrysler, keep telling me that my vehicle year is not affected but my car keeps stalling at intersections! I have almost been hit two times with my child in the car. They have had my vehicle for more than 42 days in the service department and say they cannot recreate the problem in order to fix it. I even have video tape documenting what happens. If I stop at a light, or am driving very slow my vehicle shuts off! an indicator on my dash states to put the vehicle in park and re-start it! this is not safe when you have people behind you ready to go at a green light and you are stalled! I refuse to drive this vehicle on the road and jeopardize my families safety. Please investigate this issue. I am stuck paying a brand new lease payment for a vehicle that I am not able to drive!

The contact struggled with the help of a neighbor to release the door latch and free her hand. The dealer was not called. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The contact was not injured. The failure was not diagnosed or repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 14,000.

Purchased van new in August from dulles motors in leesburgh va. At 200 miles, car started in my driveway, but then immediately stalled. Van towed to dealership. Dealer was able to start car with no problem, so I was asked to come get it. A few days later, fca announces recall U87 for PCM problem. Due to a defective voltage regulator chip, this van, plus other cars in Chrysler's lineup, stall after starting, and/or stall while driving. As I write this on 9/28/2018, recall is not live yet. Van continued to experience stalling after starting on initial startup in morning. A few days ago, car shut down while driving 30 mph in traffic. I made my way to shoulder of road. I captured the following on my cell phone video: Warning lights on dash blinking. Fuel gauge cycles from from empty to full. Odometer flashes "no bus." Can't restart car. I released hood latch to look under hood and car cleared itself, and I was able to restart it. Same problem appeared two more times while driving at low speeds. Each time, releasing hood latch clears problem. I suspect the little voltage spike created by releasing latch somehow affects voltage regulator in that PCM in a positive way. Taking car to dealer and requesting new PCM, knowing it is a possibly defective one. Can not wait for recall.

2 days after purchasing car, the check engine light came on. I asked service folks at dealership if I can bring it in. They said bring it in the next day. Later that day, my wife drove to store. She was in for 15 minutes. When she came back to car in parking lot and started the car the monitor said something about car being put in "park" and then had electric failure after a strange noise. Worried that power failure could happen while car is in motion. Dealer would not replace car unless we gave all 10S on survey, which we refuse to do. Dealership service said car had complete electric failure. Was told this was the first time they have encountered this problem. Service person also said they were aware of defects in Pacificas. I asked how come they sold cars with known defects dealership stated they have lots of cars and many have defects.

The first incident occurred when I was in a parking lot. I got into my car and when I went to press the brake and push to start, my brake was locked and my computer started flashing service electronic stability control, park brake unavailable, enter auto-theft code and other numerous error messages. I had to have my car towed to the closest service and they didn't find anything wrong. Yesterday I was in traffic at a stop light and my car dinged, the check engine light came on, and my car said to put it in park and restart (this happened twice at the same light) then the error messages starting flashing (service air bag, service electronic stability control, blind spot alert unavailable, etc) today when I went to start my car the engine did not come on and the same error messages starting flashing as well as the check engine. This became an entirely new concern when this started happening while I'm driving. I have two small children in the car, and I'm pregnant. I just don't feel safe driving and this is our main vehicle, so we don't have much of a choice.

The contact owns a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving 5 mph and making a left turn, the vehicle stalled. The contact was able to restart the vehicle after several attempts. The vehicle was taken to phillips Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram (located at 3440 S pine ave, ocala, fl 34471, (352) 732-7577) to be diagnosed, but the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure or retrieve a fault code. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was contacted. The approximate failure mileage was 7,000. * consumer stated vehicle lost power as entering intersection. I am not sure it stalled, I think more likely lost accelerator control, as I did not see any warning lights. It was a down hill "coast" to stop about 300 yards so not clear if vehicle was "coasting" or driving at idle speed. Putting into park, pushing engine button to stop and start solved the problem.

Today, 8/26/2018 as I was driving on the interstate with my newborn and 2 year old son my 2018 Chrysler Pacifica decided to shut off the entire ac unit and stop the car unexpectedly. We were unable to restart the ac and ended up having to roll down the windows once we restarted the car. This is extremely concerning since it is August in Alabama and also puts my entire family's safety at risk. I am currently too afraid to drive my new car in fear that something will happen again.

While driving approximately 35 mph, control panel stated "vehicle not in park" and then completely shut down. I had to coast into a parking lot. I put the vehicle in park and van restarted immediately. However, when I put the van into D (drive) the car reversed! I immediately braked and then preceded to drive forward. The "vehicle is not in park" has happened approximately 3 other times while driving but the engine never stopped. This is the 2nd time my vehicle has stalled while driving. It looses all power!!! the first time it was in the dealership, they could not detect any issues. It was very similar except the panel stated "vehicle is not in drive". this should not be happening to a brand new car! this is a safety issue and recalls should be placed as I have seen several other vehicles with similar problems. I have 3 small children and luckily they were not with me.

Malfunction of the hands free power sliding door opener caused sufficient heat buildup to ignite an open flame in the plastic cladding material under the body of the car. Vehicle was parked (and had been for several hours prior). The area directly below the passenger sliding door was completely melted away. Photos of the damaged area are attached.

2018 Pacifica with 5450 miles on it. While driving on highway at 60 mph with adaptive cruise control engaged, vehicle sudden appeared to stop running. Vehicle had been operating perfectly normal with no indication of a problem until it started to quickly lose speed and had no response from accelerator pedal. Message on dashboard said to place vehicle in park and press start button. I'm not sure if the engine was actually idling or if it had completely stopped running. I did not notice a loss of power steering or brakes. Coasted over to shoulder, placed in park and tried to restart. The engine would start, but only idle at about 600 RPM. Accelerator pedal had no effect on engine RPM and I could not shift out of park. Shut the vehicle off and restarted it several times with same result over a 3 minute period. Then I switched the auto start/stop button into the off (defeat setting) and was immediately able to restart the vehicle, which then operated as normal. Since this incident yesterday, the vehicle has operated as normal and has reported no faults through the U-connect application. Clear weather with temperature near 100 degrees when this incident occurred. Both keyless remotes for the vehicle were inside the vehicle, mine in my pocket and my wife's in her purse. Before heading out on this trip I had used the remote start function and allowed the vehicle to run in remote start mode until it timed out. Then had remote started the vehicle a second time before switching it to normal run mode before leaving the parking lot. This was about 40 minutes before the event happened. It occurred to me that the messages that were displayed on the dash while the vehicle was inoperable were similar, or possibly identical to messages displayed during the remote start function, which is why I thought of switching the auto start/stop button to the defeat position.
