Purchased 2018 Chrysler Pacifica limited in March 2019. Within 2 weeks, two electrical recalls and failure of safety locks and autistic 3yr locked in car. Turned car on with ac to cool, took daughter out and put in carseat, closed door and driver door locked. Had spare in house. Serviced at dealership and told all fine. Three weeks later, sunroof would not close, and daughter locked in car again for over 30 minutes. Grandmother had to bring spare key to publix. Service once again said all was fine. Safety locks, we were told, would not lock if key was in car which it was. Serious safety issue for my daughter and there has been times engine shut down.

While driving on a highway during pouring rain, with wipers on high and head lights on, dash and touch screen went off/black for up to 15 minutes then turned back on again. This occurred three times while driving. I was unable to pull over on the thruway and was unable to assess if my head lights were affected as well. We had been driving about an hour when this occurred. The car had been charged fully before beginning our travels that day.

The electronics through uconnect shut off randomly or will not all work randomly. We have had the software updated by ourselves and the dealership on multiple occasions. While driving or in park. Next, our dash lights would not go off one night no matter what we did to shut them off and ended up killing the battery by morning.

Multiple engine stalls when slowing to turn or stop, at least 9 times. The engine dies, you have to come to a complete stop to be able to restart the engine. This has happened while turning, while coming to a stop sign or stop light and just while slowing down. One instance of the brakes and steering locking up as I tried to stop at a red light. I was not able to stop and ran through the red light. I had no steering or brakes. When I did come to a stop, I tried to back up to get out of the middle the road and the gear shift was also locked up. The van has a been in for service 5 times and 49 days so far and currently has been at the dealership service department since June 11. Took van in 6/5/2019 to comply with recall V53 and on 6/11/2019 the engine stalled again. I have documents I wanted to upload but they exceeded the 5mb limit. Also in the "affected parts" section I wanted to select "brakes" in addition to the steering, engine and electrical but I was not able to add another selection.

While stopped at a red light, the auto stop engaged. When taking the foot off the brake to disengage auto stop, the vehicle stalled out in the middle of the road. Multiple attempts were made to restart the vehicle. Hazard lights were enabled; however, the entire vehicle eventually shut down, including the hazard lights. This vehicle had been driving on the highway and city streets for the previous 20 minutes without any indication of the impending failure. Dealership service department initially believes fault lies with the battery, but how did the car get 20 minutes from home on a dead battery"?"

When stopped at a stoplight, my car used the stop/start function. When I tried to accelerate, the car stalled and wouldn't let me turn it back on or turn the dial to move it to neutral. It stayed like that for a couple minutes and then I was able to start it, but now I have a light on my dashboard indicating that the stop/start isn't available. I was traveling 500 miles from home on vacation with my family.

Was traveling at highway speeds until road construction slowed everything down to stop-and-go. After about 10 minutes of this, we were about to go again and the car just stopped. Nothing was working. Called Chrysler dealership in St louis where we leased the car. They told us there was a way to release the car so we could push it off the highway. Didn't work. Finally had car towed to Chrysler dealership in springfield, il. When we got back to St louis, found a safety recall letter: V53/nhtsa19V-348. Am enclosing repair sheets.

The start/stop fuel economy system does not work. I have taken it to the shop 3 times to get this repaired. Once to have them identify the problem, then order replacement battery. Twice a new battery has been installed and the system still does not work. I have approximately 3000 miles on this vehicle and it has never worked after the initial test drive. The dash board gives various reasons why it can't work but none of these conditions or situations but none seem related to actual, current operation of the car: Engine is not warmed up or the steering wheel turned to sharply. I purchased the vehicle with 60 miles on the odometer in August 2018.

Electrical and sensor issues. When my 2018 Pacifica is started in the morning I receive a fcw (front crash warning) after driving approximately one half mile and stopping at a stop light near my house. I have the gas saver on and my van will usually shut off. When I stop at the light, the console will flash fcw when no objects are in front or near me as well as two other censors flashing. The van completely shuts down and then flashes "start stop required". I then have to place the vehicle in park, turn it off, restart it, then shift back to drive all while in at an intersection. This has happened at least 12 times and creates a risk of being rear-ended. Since we purchased the van in August 2018, we have had: The uconnect center replaced on September 7 2018, the radio improperly activated or turned off incorrectly completely draining the battery requiring tow and service on April 12 2019, and the fcw was supposedly repaired on May 21 2019. Although it was "fixed" the fcw alert has occurred 3 times since it was returned less than 3 weeks prior.

Driver's side sliding door repeatedly reopens and fails to close while the vehicle is stationary. This failure occurs intermittently and seems to coincide with a clicking noise that comes from under the dash at highway speed.

On 05-11-2019 my 2018 (purchased Nov. 2018) Chrysler Pacifica touring L plus van was stationary in my driveway (7,000 miles). Vehicle would not start. Vehicle began giving erratic dash displays, for example it advised that the car was not in park. It advised that the gear shift need service. Despite not ever turning on, the vehicle as clearly having a complete electrical meltdown. The windshield wipers engaged. Then none of the buttons on the fob, nor in the car were responding. Within a few minutes the entire car died. No electrical response. Had it towed to dealership today. Waiting to hear on diagnosis.

We bought the car as a certified used car from a dealership in February, 2019. The car is a 2018, and had 22,000 miles at time of purchase. The car first stalled in late March, 2019. It stalled while at a red light, and cars had to be directed around the car. My child was in the car with me at the time. An error message appeared with something regarding the stability control. Since that first time, the car has stalled at a light 2 more times. We are bringing the car back to the dealer for service. When we called to let the dealer know the issue, they said they've never heard of this happening. I find that hard to believe with so many similar complaints. I am very concerned that this is a known issue that is not being addressed.
