The vehicle would not start. Would not remote start. Literally didn't do anything when trying to start it. Did this before and I had it to the dealer. They replaced the extra battery. Now it's doing the same thing again.

While traveling in the left hand lane I was hit on the right side pushing me into a median. I applied the brakes and they didn-??t stop the vehicle. When the van came into contact with the curb. The airbags deployed. I smelt smoke and told my 4 young children in the back seat we needed to get out now. Two of my children were in 5 pt harness car seats in the third row. We were able to run to a safe area before it went up in flames less than a few mins later. There were no witnesses and no one around. My children and I could of been seriously injured or worse. No warning lights were active. No signs of failure until I tried pressing the brakes. The vehicle was inspected by the fire department that arrived on scene when it was fully engulfed in flames at that point.

The van was purchased in November 2019. In November 2020, the vehicle would not start. The tow truck came to our house to give us a jump and informed us the battery was dead. We went to an auto store to buy a battery because the Frisco Chrysler dealership closed on Sundays. the salesman stated that we should go to National Tire and Battery. We took the van to NTB and that's when we found out we had two batteries and they rely on each other. Because we already purchased a regular battery they were able to install it; however the van had to be towed to a Frisco Chrysler dealership to install an auxiliary battery. Frisco Chrysler installed the auxiliary battery successfully. Unfortunately, six months later we were back at Frisco Chrysler because the auxiliary light had come back on. I took the van to the dealership and they replaced the auxiliary battery stating that the battery will only last between six months to 2 years. In June 2021, the auxiliary light came back on and Frisco Chrysler changed the auxiliary battery again. I returned the following day because the auxiliary light came back on. The mechanic stated the wire connecting the auxiliary battery had come a loose and stated he fixed it. In October 2021, the auxiliary light came back on. By this time we moved to Georgia; therefore we took the van to Gwinnett Chrysler. Gwinnett Chrysler stated there was a wiring issue and stated it would cost $1,000 to fix. The struggle is the van isn't three years old, but has multiple problems.

We purchased our vehicle on July 8, 2019 and it was 18,179 miles on August 9, 2021, is slightly over what would be considered eligible under the NY Lemon Law for new vehicles. We took our vehicle in to the Service Center for a routine inspection on August 9, 2021, because we realized our sticker expired only to learn that it would not pass inspection due to the check engine light coming on. After they diagnosed it, we were told the reason for the Check Engine light being on was some wires had supposedly been chewed by rodents. The service department repaired the wires and we paid $979.55 out of pocket for that repair. We were told to pick up the vehicle on August 11, 2021 (with an expired inspection) and drive it for approximately 100 miles and then bring it back in one week to see if they would be able to perform the inspection. After driving the vehicle for less than a week is when the nightmare begins! FIVE INCIDENTS LATER, the vehicle-??s electrical system continues to dangerously malfunction WHILE WE ARE DRIVING. The vehicle still can not be inspected. The service department continues to give the vehicle back to us band-aiding every repair of the electrical system and the issue IS STILL NOT RESOLVED. The last incident, the 5th time, we took a trip to New Paltz NY and we received the dreaded Uconnect Service Alert about the Malfunction Indicator as soon as we arrived there. We immediately cut our trip short and attempted to go back to the Bronx to return the vehicle to the Dealer Service center. We called Eastchester Chrysler and left a voicemail that we were on our way to return the vehicle again. The vehicle started to malfunction severely as we were driving on I-87. Practically every system was indicating failure including the Air Bag, Brake system, Electronic Stability Control, Shifter, Steering, etc. The vehicle stalled near Exit 14A Chestnut Ridge. We had to pay $340 to be towed to our home in the Bronx, because it was too late to take it to the dealer.

The UConnect Infotainment system which controls the the radio, air temperature, seat and steering wheel warmers, and many other functions of the car will randomly go blank and the electrical components of the car cannot be controlled. This can happen in the middle of driving without warning and is distracting, but even worse takes control of the vehicle away from the driver. Drivers can become distracted when the Uconnect system malfunctions, taking their eyes off the road and increasing the risk of the crash. They may also lose access to safety features such as the back-up camera and hands-free phone use. Sometimes the problem resolves if turn vehicle off, sometimes the fuses have to be pulled, and sometimes the vehicle has to go to the dealer. Chrysler has not addressed this issue properly with software updates as it keeps happening. Here is a list of components that will not work when UConnect radio goes blank: - GPS and navigation system keeps turning on and off, or doesn-??t work at all - Rear-view backup camera doesn-??t work when reversing, or stays on when the car is in forward motion - Uconnect theater system doesn-??t work properly (no radio, rear DVD, music, etc.) - Climate control isn-??t responsive - Heated seats don-??t work or are -??stuck on-?? - Loss of Bluetooth connectivity, which is necessary for hands-free calling - TV monitors fail to turn on, connect and/or sync with the Uconnect system There are currently class action lawsuits on this matter. https://www.classaction.org/chrysler-pacifica-uconnect-screen-camera-gps-theater-lawsuits Please hold FCA accountable to get a proper fix out to stop this issue. I have personally experienced this problem multiple times and have been to the dealer twice to try different firmware updates and still have problem. I am not alone in dealing with this issue as many on forums and discussion groups have shared the same problems.

The vehicle stalls out while actively driving it down the road on a city street. The vehicle stops mid driving, immediately shuts off, loses all power, and engages park by itself. The vehicle then fails to restart and leaves driver stranded in unsafe conditions. Happened the first time driving 40mph down a city road. Driver was almost rear ended. After 20 mins driver was able to get it started again only to have it happen half a mile down the road. Had the vehicle towed by Chrysler to the nearest dealership. They found no stored errors and said nothing was wrong. They installed a flight recorder in the vehicle and we picked it up yesterday. 10 miles away from the dealership while driving on another city road the vehicle again shut itself off while driving, had a complete loss of power, and locked itself into park mode and wouldn't restart. This time had my entire family and two young children in the car trapped in the middle on a busy intersection. Vehicle was then towed again to the same dealership and they claim the flight recorder didn't pick up anything. A claim has been opened up with fca headquarters and again no one is assisting in this issue. This is a huge safety concern and needs to be addressed.

This van was purchased by a dealer with approximately 23,000 miles. It was sold to a retail customer and the following day it caught on fire in the customers garage. We had it towed to a Chrysler dealership and Chrysler said they would not accept any responsibility for fire, even though the vehicle is clearly under bumper to bumper warranty. After leaving it there while trying to get Chrysler to fix it we finally sent a tow truck to pick it up. The tow truck driver got in the vehicle to put it in neutral and it caught on fire again. The entire front end of the vehicle is burner/melted and Chrysler refuses to look at it or repair it under warranty.

2019 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid minivan failed to start in cold weather (below 24F) 5 times to date. Dealership replaced the 12V battery saying the issue has been fixed. But again in a cold day when weather was 19F, the minivan did not start and showed many errors on screen. The minivan is at the dealership for the second time. Looks like this is a common problem across multiple customers, Pacifica forums has folks complaining about the same issue.

The hands-free and bluetooth feature of my radio stopped working 3 months ago. I have been in to Chrysler service in fort collins five times to have it fixed. The last time was two weeks ago and they said they were going to just order a new radio. I still haven't heard anything from them. The service manager, bob lee, says it's Chrysler's fault. I just want this thing fixed. 3 months is just ridiculous. This is as much a safety problem as it is an inconvenience.

I have been driving a new Pacifica for over a week now and I know the electronic start/stop system is junk overall. On a few occasions, it seems the engine re-engages with a shudder and has delayed us from getting onto a road which is a safety problem with traffic behind me or getting into traffic flow. This feature should have an ability to be permanently disabled by the owner if unwanted instead of having to press a button each time the car starts. We press the button every time, but the fact we have to press this every time we start the Pacifica is irritating. Honestly, the ess system seems to be faulty in implementation.
