On three separate occasions (December 2023-February 2024), while driving in temperatures below freezing, our 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid dashboard gave the following warning, along side the illumination of a red turtle warning light: "Stop Safely. Vehicle will shut off soon." The vehicle then lost the ability to accelerate, and the speed dropped significantly and immediately. Two of the three times, my one and three year old were in the vehicle and there was no shoulder on the 50mph road we were traveling on after sunset. Fortunately, the three times this happened, we were less than a half mile from our home and we coasted downhill to the bottom of our driveway. Our vehicle has now been at a certified Chrysler dealership for three full business days, and the technician "has no idea what is wrong, " "is still working on it, " "has no idea how long it will take to fix, " and "has no rental or loaner cars available" for our family while we wait for our family's mode of Transportation to be returned. They claim they are unable to recreate the issue, so they cannot fix it. We showed them a picture of the dashboard, but that is not enough for them. It is currently 72 degrees in Dayton, OH, and the issue has never occurred in temperatures above 30 degrees. Thus, I doubt they will be able to "recreate" the issue until next winter. They've offered no other options or resolution until they can "recreate the issue."

Went to store. Came home. Went to leave again. Unable to move wheel. Says power steering unavailable. Service required. Luckily, stuck at home. Anywhere else would have been an issue or to go out suddenly.

Traveling down a country road on a clear afternoon, the vehicle traveled approximately 35 mph while cresting a small hill. On the other side of the hill was a "T" shaped intersection where another vehicle stopped in the intersection from a stop sign several feet behind. The other driver failed to complete the turn when they saw oncoming traffic. The driver noticed the intersection had an obstructed path and attempted to move into the oncoming traffic lane since no oncoming traffic was visible. Just then, the onboard computer installed in the control panel of the drivers seat had acted upon either the obstruction or the switch in lanes and assumed complete control of the braking and steering systems. The driver was unable to retrieve control from the computer systems artificial intelligence before a direct crash occured with a telephone pole. Rendering the vehicle dangerous as live wires draped the saturated earth below the tires and feet of passengers exiting the vehicle. The manufacturer was contacted, but no follow up has been made. Neither the police or insurance representatives have been helpful or any investigation made into this account. There were several lights, sensors, noises, and messages that were flashing and beeping but none were able to be understood before the sudden impact.

Power steering went completely out. Vehicle has only 6300 miles on it. Luckily we were driving slow and very close to home. Vehicle is almost impossible to turn. This could have been extremely catastrophic if wife or daughter were driving on highway.

2022 Hybrid pacifica limited Breakdown on freeway, accelarator became unresponsive and car stopped. Hi all, I have a pacifica hybrid 2022 limited with 8000 miles on it. Less then 7 months old.I ran into a very dangerous situation last Monday. I was driving on a freeway and car Brokedown on freeway, accelarator unresponsive, HMI said shift P to start, gear change didn't do anything and blinking, check engine light came up. It was very dangerous and someohow I was able to get into Shoulder lane and with God's grace we survived. After 3 4 minutes I was able to get my car turn off and on and then it drove normal. So I decided to take it in nearby open parking area and get it towed from there but even then it broke down 4 times. This is serious life threatening especially with family. I got it towed to dealership and they said next day a Software update fixed it which was hard to believe so i asked them to drive for 25 miles and guess what " Same issue happened again. So car is back to service now and I haven't heard anything back. Worst part is i had similar issue of car shutting down but that time it was in electric mode related to service charging and this was in gas mode with check engine light ON. I just wanted to see if anyone else had similar issue and how it got resolved" Thanks for the help. I am attaching some videos
