The car's lithium batteries caught fire to the point of smoldering. This happened at the end of the charge cycle. The car was parked in our garage and if the fire department did not come to help, the fire could have intensified and burned down our whole house. We are very thankful we caught it so quickly.

Vehicle is available for inspection now, but not sure about when it is removed from our property. How was your safety or the safety of others put at risk? - It was a big fire! Close to structures, vehicles & dry foliage – super lucky it didn't spread. Smoke was very noxious and affected our entire neighborhood. Neighbors have reported respiratory irritation since the fire. I now have a cough, burning throat and headaches. Has the problem been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center? - There's a burned out van at the end of my driveway... specific instance of this problem does not need confirmation Similar issues are reported on the internet. Has the vehicle or component been inspected by the manufacturer, police, insurance representatives or others? - Not yet. Chrysler says it'll take 2-3 days for issue to be "escalated". Insurance is sending someone. Fire department HazMat crew verified that the battery pack is now "cold" but toxic chemicals are a public safety hazard. Oakland Fire incident #[XXX].

The driver-side rear sliding door is not closed securely and it reopened while closing without any other button access and obstacles on the door. But seems like it was fixed with an ECU software update. I have a problem with that and it was fixed with a repair visit last week. That means it was a known issue, but I must pay the repair cost. I have a short video clip to show the problem and my dealership was able to reproduce same symptom while they doing a diagnosis.

The vehicle's high voltage battery was being charged using a Siemens VG2 EVSE when an arcing sound was noticed and burning smell and smoking was seen. Looking back at our home energy monitor, it appears to have been arcing for close to an hour without any warnings being thrown until shortly after being noticed. The car did eventually show a charging system error, but the charging didn't stop until I physically unplugged it. The L1 pin on the vehicle and the EVSE showed scorch marks and damage from the arcing, but thankfully it was caught before a fire happened.

We had the FCA Recall #Z11, NHTSA Recall #22V-077 repaired on this vehicle. One week later, the plug-in hybrid Pacifica was parked in the garage, plugged in but done charging. In the middle of the night, the battery spontaneously combusted. We heard a loud boom sound and found the car smoldering and emitting significant amounts of smoke. The car then burst into flames. The fire department soaked the car with water but it continued to reignite for approximately two hours despite the fire department’s best efforts to extinguish the fire. The car was completely destroyed. It also caused significant chemical smoke damage to our garage and home. As soon as we found it smoking, we rolled it out of the garage, which saved our house from catching on fire. Luckily our children were not in or next to the car at the time the battery combusted. There were no warning signs in the car prior to this incident. The vehicle has been inspected by insurance and is available for further inspection. At least two members of the family experienced adverse health consequences following the smoke exposure.

We recently took our Hybrid Chrysler Pacifica to the dealer and they mentioned that there are multiple engine and transmission mounts that need to be replaced in addition to the entire transmission. I reported to them over the years that the vehicle stutters up steep hills (>13.5 degrees). The electric motor produces too much torque, lurches forward, then cuts off and repeats the process. In doing so the electric drivetrain motor is twisting the vehicle apart. It is certainly a safety issue. If we get it fixed, it will certainly happen again and to anyone that has a steep driveway or goes up inclines at less than 5 mph. The process is easily repeated. Thank you!

Recall Z11 was announced in early February 2022 due to fire risk which prompted Chrysler to issue a recommendation that owners not charge their plug-in hybrid Pacifica Hybrids and to park them outside until the fix was completed. More than six months have passed without subsequent update to resolve this recall, and not only is no part or remedy identified, the underlying cause has yet to be identified. This is after two previous recalls, U94 in October 2018 and W46 in June 2020, which were also announced by Chrysler due to fire risk for the Pacifica Hybrid. Chrysler's guidance of parking the vehicle outside and not plugging it in to charge is unsatisfactory and illogical. The normal operation of the plug-in hybrid system leads to the gasoline engine and regenerative braking charging the high-voltage battery during its "Hybrid Mode" operation even when the vehicle has not been plugged in to charge the high-voltage battery. Based upon other recent fire risk recalls related to vehicles with high-voltage batteries such as the Chevrolet Bolt EV--which has led to numerous manufacturer repurchases and complete battery replacement for all affected models--Chrysler's response is neither timely nor sufficient. It is past time that definitive resolution be provided to owners of vans that have already been affected by two prior fire risk recalls and now have been waiting six months with recommendation to not use the vehicle as designed, marketed, and advertised at the time of sell.

My vehicle has had an open recall since February for a fire risk with the battery. It is now late July, and there is still no remedy available. The only recommendation is to park the vehicle outside and refrain from recharging it. That recommendation is understandable over the short term, but the recall has now been open for too long, and there has been no communication, update, or most importantly a repair from the manufacturer, which is why I would like to register a complaint to NHTSA.

Manufacturer has failed to remedy Mfg Recall Z11, NHTSA Recall 22V-077 in a timely manner. Recall letters were issued February 11, 2022 and no remedy is as yet available. This recall prohibits customers from charging the vehicle at the risk of fire, which in turn results in extremely poor mileage during a time when gasoline prices have been soaring. If there has been any time during which the ownership and use of a hybrid vehicle is needed, now is the time given the high prices of fuel. When will a remedy be made available?

This is a complaint that NHTSA recall number 22V-077, opened February 11, 2022, is taking too long to resolve. It is currently June 21, 2022, over 4 months after this recall was issued, and there is still no resolution from the manufacturer. The prohibitions stated in the recall to not park the vehicle near any structures or other vehicles practically prohibit the use of the vehicle at all. Where can I drive my car where it will not be parked by other cars or structures? Where am I supposed to park it at home exactly? Furthermore, I paid extra money to have a partially electic vehicle and prohibiting charging for this long period of time reduces that value as it requires the car to be used as a gas vehicle rather than the electric hybrid I purchased. This issue requires immediate attention.

There have been multiple recalls on this vehicle where issues can be fires. MOPAR/Chrysler, in each incident, has advised not to charge our vehicle or even park inside. The latest recall occurred at the beginning of 2022 and there still isn't a remedy. I will be on orders for the US Gov't and now I can't take my car overseas because of this open recall with no remedy. Its unacceptable for us to not charge a plug-in hybrid car when that is the only reason we purchased this car. And to not park in our own garage is ridiculous. Additional costs of gas (since we shouldn't charge) as well as costs for cleanings (parking outdoors) has occurred. And now the inconvenience of figuring what I should do with this car before being deployed overseas has been a real nightmare.

My van has been recalled due to fire potential. Chrysler has no repair and advises not to charge the van or park it near people or property due to the danger it poses even in the OFF position. It is not safe even parked. We have stopped driving it and Chrysler is not offering a reasonable and timely fix to my situation. I believe 27,000 similar vans are affected jeopardizing the safety of many people in my circumstance.

It has been over a month now and Chrysler has not issued a fix for the latest recall to the PHEV propulsion system. The fact that it could catch fire at any time is concerning and it should be fixed quickly or the owners should be able to receive a loaner. This recall frightens the owners into not wanting to drive the vehicle. Not good.

Complaints 1-50 of 79, newest first, reproduced as filed.
No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
