While driving on highway on4/22/23 the vehicle displayed a message stating -??stop safely, vehicle will shut off soon-??. I lost the ability to accelerate and had to coast to the nearest shoulder. This happened during a high traffic period and I had children in the car. At the time there was no shoulder near by so I had to drive on the busy highway at very slow speeds until I could pull over. This was a very dangerous incident and I-??m lucky I was not in an accident.

Van engine suddenly turned off while I was driving on a local highway on April 3, 2023. Six people were in the car. I was able to stop at a turning lane before an intersection, turned off the engine and after re-starting it worked again. I brought the car to the dealership and was told that there is a 03A recall that will fix the problem. It took 3 week to get an appointment to perform the recall fix. I was told not to drive the car during that time. - On April 20th, I brought the car to dealership for the recall fix. It took only 3 hours and I got my car back. - On April 22nd, I took my family to Torrance area. On the way home, while driving on the HOV lane of I-405 North, my van suddenly slowed down from 70mph - 40mph and continued to cruise at around 40mph. Even when I hit the accelerator, it wouldn't go pass 40mph. Engine light turned ON and a message popped up saying 'Vehicle will shut off soon, stop safely'. But I couldn't stop safely on a super-heavy-traffic freeway where everyone drove 70+mph. So I parked on the narrow shoulder on HOV lane, with cars zooming by. I turned off the engine, re-started it but the condition stayed the same. I turned it off again, this time waited 5 min before starting the engine and it finally turned back to normal. I am too scared to drive my newly bought van now. It is a family van, so my whole family always ride in the van with me. We are in Los Angeles traffic where people drive very fast. When the van shuts off in the middle of the fast moving freeway, it is an accident waiting to happen. It has happened twice in 3 weeks. It happened even after I brought the van in for the recall fix. - Chrysler Pacifica 03A recall fix is not fixing the problem. Please, help us. Pacifica Hybrid owners' lives are at risk every time they drive their vans. They also put other drivers at risk.

Engine stopped at highway speed, instrument cluster displayed message for a restart sequence even though car was coasting. Once vehicle was stopped had to change from run mode to off mode and then was able to restart and proceed. Check engine light was amber. After restart engine stalling continued randomly without warning during our trip. I need this corrected and vehicle to perform as advertised, thank you.

Car stops suddenly on highways and other road with a warning and red turtle sign on dashbaord. I was able to switch off the car for few min and then turn it on and get back to road again but it is happening while I am on road especially on highways it is very dangerous. I took car to dealer ship and they did some computer restart and send me home, the same issue happened even after that. Attaching pictures of the dashboard on each and every occurrence to notice the miles.

During the month of March, 2023, my vehicle completely shut down on two occasions, both of which occurred while traveling at highway speeds. There were dash icons that were lit, including a check engine light, a turtle icon and a message to Pull Over. The shutdown caused me to move quickly to the shoulder of the road, with limited ability to maneuver in a safe manner. These shutdowns occurred after the vehicle had its software updated based on Recall 03A (Loss of Motive Power). Apparently, the update only served to provide a warning on the dash that the engine was about to shut down (which occurred immediately). The dealer has had the vehicle for some time, and the latest update is that they are replacing the vehicle's transmission. It would seem unacceptable if, in fact, a (known?) issue that causes a shutdown was addressed by merely providing a millisecond's notice that the vehicle is going to completely die. This is an extremely unsafe situation, placing the motorist, their passengers and nearby vehicles in danger.

I was driving around 15 mph and the van suddenly lost all electrical and engine power. I could not drive and none of the instruments were working. I could not turn on the emergency blinkers / hazard lights. I could not restart the van. No buttons were working. The van came to a stop with some bad sounds from the engine. I was on a hill and I had to keep my foot on the brake otherwise the van would start rolling backwards. I could not place the vehicle into park and the parking break did not work either. This means I was effectively trapped in the vehicle, in the middle of the road, unable to engage any hazard lights. I called my spouse and he drove to meet me. He opened the hood and after a minute the power returned and the vehicle displayed a "service electrical system" message. I was then able to drive the vehicle home about half a mile. Later that evening the vehicle again "died" and was unresponsive. Hours later it is still not turning on and will have it towed to the dealership. This complete loss of power has happened a few times before, but always when the vehicle was parked overnight and I discovered it was not working in the morning. But it would always turn itself back on after a few minutes.

The vehicle was part of the O3A recall notice and was taken in about 2 to 3 weeks ago to have the software "fix" done. Last evening while driving on the highway, the car gave the warning of safely exit road way, you are about to loose power. The power loss was immediate and was almost reended by the vehicle behind, but was able to get off highway with out accident.

The vehicle will randomly stall out. We took it to the dealer to get it fixed, they kept it for a month and did a software update. It's been 2 weeks and it stalls out about 6 times a week still. It's very dangerous and we can't even use it on the highway. Only backroads. Chrysler and the dealership have said it can't be fixed and they are not taking responsibility.

I am filing a complaint about unsatisfactory remedy of recall 03A/NHTSA 23V-010 and would like to make a motion for a hearing on this remedy.

February 23rd: car shut off while getting off the freeway. Would not restart for 5 minutes. Had no acceleration but could still steer. February 23rd: brought car to the dealership, they scanned the car and there was no code. February 26th: car shut off 3 times on the freeway going 70mph. Had to pull over and restart car to be able to accelerate. I had my 2 kids in the car at this time and fear for their safety. March 1st- car shut off on the freeway going 70 mph. Had to pull over carefully again. Turn off the car, open the car door, wait a few minutes, restart. March 3rd- car shut off on the freeway again. Brought car to the dealership again, they asked for me to drop it off on Monday. March 6th- left car at dealership. They said it needs a new transmission and would be a minimum of 30 days to replace it, but most likely longer.

Vehicle had a sudden loss of engine power while at speed traveling on the highway. We were able to safely pull over, and after a few minutes restart the vehicle. After additional driving we encountered the issue again, at speed on the hoghway, however the vehicle did not shut down properly and would not start after repeated attempts. The vehicle would show the ignition was on 'run' however would either not allow shifting into gear, or upon shifting into gear immediately throw an error message on the dash stating to shift into park and restart the vehicle. I believe that this issue will not be fixed by a recall where the solution is advanced warning of an engine shutdown. We are fortunate to ha e had this happen when we were in a position to pull over safely as the speed of the vehicle plummeted unsafely after loss of engine power. This happened on Saturday March 11, the previous night the vehicle had been charged overnight. The loss of power was not experienced untill the hybrid battery charge had been depleted and the vehicle was running on the combustion engine

On 3/6/2023 while driving on a freeway, my vehicle experienced a complete loss of motive power and the accelerator was unresponsive. The dash gave me a warning that the vehicle was off. On 3/7/2023, the same incident occurred twice while on the same freeway. on 3/7/23, I dropped it off at Moss Bros Chrysler Dealer in Riverside, CA for the loss of motive power recall I was just notified of. The software update from the recall was performed, and the service adviser informed me that it was successful and the issue had been resolved. On 3/9/2023, I drove it on the freeway, and again, the same loss of motive power occurred. This time, the dash warned me that vehicle shutdown was imminent, and a turtle icon displayed on the dash. However, the moment the dash displayed this information, all motive power was lost and the experience was identical to before the software update. This is a significant safety issue as the freeways in my area usually do not have any shoulders or areas that are safe to pull over on. This is a serious defect that poses a safety risk to anyone in the vehicle. It has not been fixed by the recall.

While traveling at full highway speed, the Pacifica turned off entirely without warning. We had to navigate in traffic through 4 lanes to pull over with children in the vehicle. The vehicle would not turn back on after pulled over until hours afterwards. However we towed the vehicle to a dealership due to the safety concern

Van shutoff on the highway going 60- 65 mph with my wife and two kids under six. Winter time snow plowed road so no available shoulder due to snow mounds. Van quit running during rush hour. Car coasted to a stop and would not restart. Had to be towed. Dealer said it was a known issue. Googled it and there were news articles about the issue. Van gave no warning it was shutting down. Dealer has had the 2022 Chrysler Pacifica plug in hybrid for 30 days in the service shop and still don-??t have a fix for it. Opened a case with Chrysler, Case Number 85533496

Event 1: On Feb 5, 2023 my car lost engine power suddenly while I was driving. I had my entire family with me and had to somehow maneuver myself away from traffic and avoid any accident. There was a malfunction light that came on once the engine stalled. And the screen was reading that engine has lost power, please stop and restart the car. Right after this incidence, I got an email from Chrysler reporting there is a recall on my vehicle for lost engine power. Event 2: I get the vehicle back from repair and reported that the recall has been fixed on Feb 18th. Again while riding the vehicle on Feb 18th with my family the car gives a warning that the Engine is about to stop and I need to stop safely. Also there is a red turtle on the screen and the car completely stops accelerating even if I press the gas pedal. I was at that movement on an interchange ramp between two express ways and had several fast moving vehicles around me and no engine power to maneuver myself. I had to stop the vehicle on a side on the fast moving highway and narrowly escaped getting stuck from vehicle coming from behind. I had to call in a tow vehicle and highway patrol to help get me and my family to safety.

While driving on the freeway at 60-70 mph, in 20 degree weather at night, the engine suddenly, and without warning, stopped. A dash error message showed instructions to put the car in park and push the start / run button. The van was still traveling at a high rate of speed while the message stayed up and the van had to be carefully maneuvered through traffic, across multiple lanes to the next exit, without the ability to accelerate when needed. Somehow no one was hurt and the vehicle did not get into an accident, but it came to a stop in the middle of the exit ramp, which had a steep uphill grade. The van was unable to be restarted. A Good Samaritan helped push the car to a nearby lot while car was in neutral. It was unable to be started then and two and three days later. The roadside assistance couldn-??t be provided until a few days later because the incident occurred at the beginning of the weekend. The vehicle was finally towed to the closest dealership today. The dealership said the software update is available for the recall of potential loss of motive power, which appears to be the issue we experienced. They said it would take 2-3 weeks to look at the vehicle due to their backlog. I called the dealership where we bought it, and they said the same. Also, based on initial research, it seems the software update will only give advance warning when an electrical short is about to cause the engine to stop so the driver can have advanced warning and presumably drive to safety without an accident. Unfortunately, the manufacturer still needs to address the root cause and build a solution to prevent the electrical short from happening in the first place. The situation is troubling and the manufacturer and both dealerships are even stalling in getting us a complimentary loaner vehicle. Also note that we were not instructed to stop driving the vehicle when we found out about the recall prior to the incident. Again the van won-??t be fixed for weeks, NHTSA shows no remedy yet

My car has lost power unexpectedly while driving 3 times in the past month. Twice on the highway, and once in a residential area. I had to coast until I could safely pull over. The engine light stays lit for up to 1 day. The "D" in the gear shifter flashes. After turning off the ignition for several minutes, the engine will restart and the car can resume driving. The Chrysler service department says they cannot find anything wrong with my vehicle and it may be due to the recall issue. This sudden loss of power is extremely dangerous and I am fearful every time I drive this car. Customer service has been extremely unhelpful. A case has been opened for me for 2 weeks now and no one ever calls me, even though I have been repeatedly told someone will reach out to me. I have been calling almost daily and all I am told is that there is no repair available for the recall out on my vehicle and they cannot provide me with a rental. I'm not sure what needs to happen before someone will help me. Either I will end up in a vehicle collision and I will have to pursue legal recourse, or I may have to look into the lemon law. Extremely disappointed in Chrysler.

Second complaint for same issue. Our vehicle stalled 6 times over the course of 17 miles driving around town, maximum of 50 MPH at times. We have multiple videos of this. Have contacted Chrysler and was told they do not have a fix for this issue even though they are aware it is a safety issue. Awaiting call back on how they will help resolve this issue ASAP as the car is basically undrivable with stalling that many times in such a short trip!

It seems that some of the standard safety features are unavailable or missing due to some reason which is mentioned in the optional equipment. below two things seem to be missing: 1. Safety sphere 2. ParkSense Rear Park Assist Additionally, there is also a recall on this vehicle regarding the safety issue. Dealer is denied to make any changes or repair to the vehicle. Please investigate the matter as these are major safety issues.

I drive on the freeway, and I lost any power with the car, I'm lucky my baby was not in my car on that day. It happened two times and I go to the Mopar service center, they tell me they don't have the part for that, and I ask them what's should I do with that situation, and they said that's a good question, I have no idea, but you can wait for the part and I don't know when the part comes in maybe a week, and maybe few months.
