The vehicle experienced a concurrent failure of the high-voltage traction battery pack and the High-Voltage Battery Coolant Heater (Diagnostic Trouble Code P0E15). The electric battery coolant heater is a critical component of the high-voltage battery thermal management loop and vehicle cabin heating/defrosting system. When this heater fails, the high-voltage battery cannot regulate cell temperatures in colder ambient conditions, which disables electric propulsion mode, triggers powertrain limp-mode/reduced propulsion warnings, and leaves the vehicle unable to clear or defrost the windshield in freezing temperatures. A sudden loss of propulsion power in traffic or loss of windshield visibility during cold weather presents severe safety hazards. The manufacturer approved the traction battery pack under warranty but denied statutory coverage for the concurrently failed high-voltage coolant heater, leaving the vehicle disassembled and inoperable.

The vehicle was left in parking on a Saturday afternoon in Costco. When we came back and we put everything in the trunk, the vehicle turn on automatically, not by remote start, on its own. When we saw the dashboard it said: "Put on in parking to prevent rolling", but the vehicle didn't take any gears and it was not able to be turn off. We try to turn it off several times but it came back on, on its own with the same message: "Put on in parking to prevent rolling", after towing we dropped in the dealer and the dealer couldn't find anything not even a computer code. This could have happened on a semaphore waiting for a light and maybe the car would have rolled on its own? that's something that it is concerning.

We purchased 2022 hybrid Chrysler Pacifica from Mountain View CDJR in June 2026 and around July 4th the car went into critical red turtle limp mode on the highway slowing from 65 to under 15 mph with all our children in the car. Thankfully my husband was driving and able to get us to the local CDJR who helped inspect the vehicle and discovered contaminated coolant issue and showed us the different colors that shouldn’t be there from a car purchased from a CDJR dealership. The issue was brought to Mountain View who initially attempted to charge us over $3,000 for an issue stemming from their own negligence. After agreeing to pay around $600 for new radiator and more back and forth I believed the car would be returned to us well serviced. There was a recall they were supposed to handle and also they had the vehicle during a prescheduled oil change and then failed to perform the oil change. After then vehicle had been returned to us the hybrid capabilities have failed, we cannot charge the vehicle, and gas mileage has continued decline. When brought to service manager, he asked me “well is it still going into limp mode?” As if the car not stalling in the highway was successfully servicing the vehicle. Car went into limp mode several times before Mountain View’s service, car has since continued to decline in gas mileage and does not charge at all, and though it has not gone into red turtle or limp mode I feel there are still underlying safety issues as coolant flush was never per

Rear passenger side center section captains chair had an uncommanded back of seat drop downward followed by the entire seat rolling forward as I was slowing down the vehicle to make sure the passenger was not injured. The chair flops back and forth. Approximately 12500 miles on the 2022 vehicle. The drivers side of this seat ALSO failed but nobody was sitting in it at the time! The passenger was not injured but could have been severely injured if I had reacted with harsher breaking, if it occurred during a situation that the vehicle could not have been stopped or if the individual was unhealthy! The seat was basically freewheeling on the skids with the entire back of the seat flat! Sliding forward with breaking, sliding backwards with an increase in speed, seatbelt NO LONGER RESTRAINED individuals upper body!

This vehicle is experiencing a severe, recurring premature failure of the power sliding door lock actuators on both sides. When I took it to the dealer for inspection I didn’t know the clicking sound was a problem. But was told it needed to be replaced because it was a “safety issue.” • September 5, 2024: The Right-Side sliding door lock actuator failed prematurely at approximately 15,000 miles and had to be replaced. The dealership replaced under warranty. • Earlier This Year (2026), I don’t know exactly when, both door lock actuators are showing signs of failure by making that same clicking noise while closing. This marks the second premature failure of the right-side actuator and the initial failure of the left-side actuator. I declined to have the vehicle inspected by a dealer for this new failure because there would be a $225 diagnostic charge when I already know what the problem is. It manifest as a rapid clicking noise during the final latching phase of the sliding door shutting.The right side door regularly sticks closed and won’t open. This is a critical safety defect that puts passengers at risk. I’m concerned that as these actuators fail, the power sliding doors will not lock securely while the vehicle is in motion, creating a severe risk of the doors opening inadvertently on the highway—a major hazard for children in the rear seats. Conversely, the mechanism can stick or jam shut, potentially trapping rear occupants inside the vehicle during an emergency evacuatio

The contact owned a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving up to a four-way intersection at approximately 5 MPH, a second vehicle driving approximately 50 MPH crashed into the front driver’s side quarter panel of the vehicle. During the crash, no air bags inside the vehicle deployed. The driver sustained a brain contusion and was transported to the hospital. The second-row driver’s side passenger sustained lower back and neck strain, and the third-row driver’s side passenger sustained a head contusion. Both were later driven to the hospital for medical attention. The driver of the second vehicle also sustained unknown injuries and was transported to the hospital. The vehicle was destroyed and towed to a nearby storage facility. A Police report was filed at the scene but not provided. The failure mileage was 135,000.

The manufacturer marked the recall complete via an automated Over-The-Air (OTA) update without physical inspection. The rearview camera failed to display. The dealership replaced the display, which failed to remedy the defect, and during service, the radio module failed completely. Both dealer and manufacturer are demanding out-of-pocket payment to restore federally mandated FMVSS 111 camera compliance.

ADDENDUM to Complaint Number XXX: The vehicle is now completely undriveable and parked at my residence due to the severe safety hazard of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system locking up completely after 10 minutes of operation. I have contacted Chrysler Corporate (Case # XXX) and multiple local dealerships, including Carolina Chrysler in [XXX].The manufacturer and its dealer network are actively refusing to diagnose or inspect this documented safety defect unless I pay a $206 diagnostic fee upfront. I am on a strict zero-dollar budget and cannot afford this fee. The manufacturer is using a corporate loophole to block the inspection of a life-threatening, premature component failure on a 2022 vehicle. This file serves as notice that a safety inspection is being denied by Stellantis/Chrysler over an upfront diagnostic fee.

Vehicle: 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Approximately 25,300 miles On Saturday 9/12/26 while driving at highway speeds the following message displayed "Stop Safely, Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon". When the message displayed the check engine light illuminated as well as the limp mode light. In limp mode the vehicle reduced speed rapidly and would not accelerate above 20 MPH. This happened at highway speeds on a multilane highway. We were able to get to the shoulder, but it was very dangerous changing lanes in limp mode. Turning the vehicle on and off several times cleared errors except the check engine light. We were able to get off the highway and get home without the message or limp mode triggering again. The check engine light stayed illuminated for 24 hours and went off when I refueled the vehicle the next day. For the next week I drove at local speeds with no issues. On Saturday 9/19/26 the vehicle would not start. This is a plugin hybrid and was fully charged. The electric motor would not start, and the check engine light illuminated again. I turned the vehicle off/on 3 times to get it to start. I did my errand and returned home. When I returned home, I turned the vehicle off then on again and the check engine light cleared. On Tuesday 9/21/26 I dropped the vehicle off for service, getting there without issue. The dealership stated the transmission will need to be rebuilt. Problem code is P0A43-00. This is the SECOND transmission failure since ownership. I've had the vehicl

**Steering rack failure** I bought this as a used vehicle from Calavan CDJR in [XXX] XXX with 89,219 miles [XXX] It now has approximately 117,000 miles on it. When I bought it, there was a suspension noise that appeared to be due to strut mounts. Due to this noise, dealer lowered the sale price. Since the time of purchase, I have replaced both struts, inner & outer tie rods, lower control arms, sway bar links and both cv axles. And it is still making the same noise, only it has gotten much worse. Based on the last mechanic's inspection, he states that the noise is from a bad steering rack. I reviewed this online and found that NHTSA has an open investigation for the steering rack and would like to see if there is anyway that you can help me with replacing it as it poses a severe safety hazard and is very expensive to replace.

Recall to not charge my 2022 chrysler pacific plug in hybrid and there is no fix. Recall states not to charge or park the vehicle in or near any structures. That is unacceptable. They need to find a fix or buy my vehicle back.

I was driving my Pacifica with my special needs children to thier therapy appointments. The power steering light came on all of a sudden going down the highway at 50-55mph. Steering became extremely difficult. I was barely able to take the the turn to pull into the parking lot. This is even more dangerous as their is a drop-off on the other side if i had not managed to turn aggressively enough. It scared both of my children and myself. The dealership wanted $206 diagnostic fee which we cannot afford. The light will go off and we regain steering once it has been off for a few minutes then light kicks on and we lose steering again.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding Chrysler Corporate's handling of recall campaign 06D (NHTSA 26V-189) for my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica.I received an official corporate notification via mail explicitly stating that parts were now available to remedy this active safety recall. However, when I immediately contacted my authorized Chrysler dealership to schedule the critical safety repair, I was turned away and informed that the parts are completely unavailable and backordered with no estimated release date.Sending out official notices claiming an open safety risk can be fixed when the necessary components are entirely missing from dealer inventory is a highly deceptive and unsafe practice. It causes vehicle owners to waste time coordinating service under false pretenses while forcing us to continue operating family vehicles with known, unaddressed safety hazards. Chrysler must be held accountable for coordinating its corporate communications with actual supply chain availability so owners are not driving compromised vehicles under the false impression that a fix is ready. It is alarming that the post card they just sent me had big letters "URGENT SAFETY RECALL" headline and the recall site says the parts are in and the dealership says they only gets parts to fix 2 a week and it will still be close to 6 months before the parts are available.

Vehicle suffered sudden loss of motive power due to Diagnostic Trouble Code P0A43 (Drive Motor A Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent). The failure is caused by thermal and chemical degradation of the internal transmission wiring harness, resulting in an internal electrical short submerged in transmission fluid. The vehicle is able to be powered on again and driving can be continued however certain speeds trigger the issue. The check engine light appears and remains for a short period. The vehicle was purchased through CarMax of Naperville, IL [XXX]. The vehicle began to experience the defined issue the last week of May 2026. The vehicle was brought to CarMax [XXX]. CarMax transferred the repair of the vehicle to Castle Chrysler of Naperville/Stellantis IL, and they conducted the initial repair. Stellantis attempted to mask this hardware failure via software recalibrations under NHTSA Recall 03A (23V-010) rather than replacing physical parts. The vehicle was returned and appeared to be repaired. [XXX] the same issue occurred while on a cross country road trip. The vehicle was able to be driven but under specific speed conditions as not to activate the transmission failure. [XXX] the vehicle was brought to an independent technician at Stephens Automotive in Palatine, IL and they were able to verify the issue and documented it. The vehicle was then brought to Castle Chrysler on [XXX], and the vehicle has been there since. Stellantis later acknowledged the true physical failure

Having the same issues as earlier models of Chrysler vans with the steering rack tension when going around curves. It’s been doing this for a couple of months now.

The contact owns a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V189000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to parts being on backorder. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. In addition, the contact was referred to another local dealer as per the manufacturer; however, parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Chrysler issued this safety recall 52D at the end of June and still no remedy is being reported as available from Chrysler. This is abysmal customer performance and and unacceptable turnaround time for what amounts to a serious safety risk. Chrysler has not and continues not to provide an estimated timelines for resolution. I am renting a vehicle in the meantime given the safety risk (both while driving and while parked), paying for the rental cost out of pocket and taking a risk that Chrysler will reimburse. In short, the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for this vehicle in a timely manner.

The head rest of the second row broke and will not return to its upright position. It happened when we putting the seat in the stow position. Having the headrest sticking into your neck is very dangerous so we basically lost a seat in our vehicle. We can choose to remove the headrest, which is a danger for whiplash OR repair it. The repair is estimated over $300 which is ridiculous! This should be a covered repair under a recall as it seems to happen frequently.

My vehicle is currently being recalled for the recall 52D, I have reached out twice in a thirty day span asking about a fix and been told both times there are no parts for this fix. The risk of this recall includes fire, while charging or while parked and off.

My car is a part of NHTSA Campaign No. 26V362 / Manufacturer Recall 52D and on July 30th, 2026 it suffered a fatal transmission error and stopped on the highway. I am unable to drive it and it officially needs its entire transmission rebuilt. My wife was driving back from work and the car shutdown in the middle of the highway and she had to risk her life to get it to an emergency zone. The turtle symbol came on the dash and the dealer confirmed the transmission needs to be rebuilt because of a manufacturer defect.

The captains chairs in the second row of the vehicle both had their reclining mechanism fail. This causes the seats to move forward and back sliding when the car is in motion as they will not stay locked in place. They cannot be used for transportation due to it being unsafe for the passenger as the seat does not remain upright. The seat is available for inspection. The seats have not been inspected by the dealer/manufacturer as they are wanting to charge a large service fee and do not have appointments available in a timely fashion. There were no warnings, the seats each failed suddenly upon regular use.

Vehicle under mandatory recall for defective air bags. Called to get appt. with local dealer Fred Martin Motors. Have failed to call me back to set an appt. The dealer says they are waiting for parts. It has been 3 months. Still waiting. Concerned about safety if my vehicle.

Steering wheel locked

On July 19, 2026, I was driving my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid on E-470 at approximately 75 mph. Without warning, the dashboard displayed "Stop Safely. Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon," and the amber check engine light illuminated. At the same time, the vehicle immediately lost all motor power, began slowing, and did not respond to accelerator input. There were six occupants in the vehicle, including four young children. I was traveling on a busy six-lane highway with little to no shoulder. I had to maneuver across traffic without motor power to reach the side of the road, placing all six occupants at immediate risk. After turning the vehicle off for about five minutes, I restarted it. Only the check engine light remained illuminated, and the vehicle appeared to have normal power. We continued driving at 55–65 mph to reach a safer location. About 10 minutes later, the same warning appeared and the vehicle again lost all motor power. This time we were on a steep, busy exit ramp and had to immediately pull off as the vehicle rapidly lost speed, again placing all six occupants at risk. After waiting about five minutes, we restarted the vehicle, drove it to a safe location, and had it towed to a dealership. The dealership was closed, so the cause of the failure has not yet been determined. This incident created an extremely dangerous situation, and we narrowly avoided a collision on the interstate. A sudden loss of propulsion at highway speeds without warning is a serious safety haz

The contact owns a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V189000 (Air Bags). The local dealer was contacted and confirmed that parts were on back order. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not contacted. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Vehicle repeatedly entered limp mode / lost power at highway speed a few days after the dealer performing the remedy for NHTSA Recall 23V- 010 (FCA Recall 03A, transmission internal wiring connector short). The recall remedy did not correct the defect. Prior to the recall work, the van entered limp mode on 2 other occasions. Timeline: On 7/10/26, Park Chrysler Jeep in Burnsville, MN performed the open recall remedy (Recall 03A / NHTSA 23V-010) on our vehicle. We informed the dealer we were departing on a multi-week interstate family road trip, and the dealer released the vehicle as repaired. On [XXX], about 40 minutes into our trip, the vehicle entered limp mode with a severe loss of motive power while driving at highway speed on [XXX] between Northfield, MN and [XXX]. We were able to reach the shoulder safely. After multiple restart attempts, the vehicle resumed operation. On [XXX], the vehicle entered limp mode 2 additional times under the same conditions on [XXX] in IL, and on [XXX] in IN, again at highway speed and with heavy traffic present. In one case there was barely enough shoulder to pull over safely. Each event created a sudden, significant speed differential with surrounding traffic. On 7/16/26 the vehicle was taken to Bob Chandler Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Columbus, OH. The dealer's diagnosis is that the transmission must be replaced. The repair order ID is [XXX]. The vehicle is at that dealership awaiting parts. Safety concern: The vehicle lost motive power at high

The contact owns a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while the vehicle was shifted into reverse(R), the back-over prevention camera intermittently failed to display an image of the rear of the vehicle. The back-over prevention camera failed to operate as needed and a bright green screen was displayed before the screen turned black. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who was unable to determine if the radio software needed to be updated; however, the dealer was unsure if the update would fix the vehicle. The dealer informed the contact that the VIN was not included in NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V436000 (Back Over Prevention). The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 38,623.

The contact owns a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the accelerator pedal was depressed; however, the vehicle failed to accelerate as intended. The failure had occurred with two minor children seated in the rear of the vehicle. The contact stated that the turtle icon was displayed, and the adaptive cruise control was deactivated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired by an independent mechanic or dealer. The vehicle was scheduled for diagnostic testing. Additionally, there was an unknown recall with a similar failure to be repaired at the scheduled appointment. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure, and a case was filed. The failure mileage was approximately 54,000.

The vehicle caught fire earlier morning of 7/9/2026. It was sitting in front of house unoccupied. The alarm went off twice which pressing the key fob shut it off until the third time when the alarm would continue until it died down. I went to my door to check and noticed the car was on fire.

Our hybrid vehicle has been recalled per the Chrysler Pacifica battery recall. The letter says this is a dangerous fire hazard, needs to be repaired immediately, and we must stop charging our battery until fixed. The dealership has told us it will take 3 days to repair, but is only providing a replacement vehicle for one day. Surely this is not appropriate.

I am reporting an ongoing, catastrophic safety defect and corporate suppression regarding Chrysler Recall 03A (NHTSA Campaign 23V010) on my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The official recall remedy has repeatedly failed to prevent total electrical system depletion and unexpected motive power shutdown in the field, leaving my family in extreme danger. On March 3, 2023, at 6,000 miles, the vehicle suffered a complete, un-warned motive power shutdown while I was driving my two young children on a rural highway. The vehicle stalled dead on an incline in the middle of a lane. The brakes failed to engage automatically, so I couldn’t evacuate my children because I had to keep my foot on the brake. Cars had to swerve around our vehicle at 55 MPH, as it was on a blind corner. My children were deeply traumatized; my autistic child was completely inconsolable and now suffers from an ongoing, severe psychological fear surrounding this vehicle stopping unexpectedly. We were only saved from a crash because a passerby stopped to help after about 15 minutes. The dealership subsequently applied the Recall 03A software update and replaced the 12V battery. This recall remedy has utterly failed. The replacement 12V battery died again in May 2025 and died a third time in June 2026, proving a chronic electrical defect exists. The dealership refused to perform parasitic draw testing, refused diagnostics, and simply charged the battery, stating 'it's fine.' Chrysler corporate support subjected me to

The contact owns a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact had received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V362000 (ELECTRICAL SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was unavailable. The local dealer was contacted, and it was confirmed that the part was not available. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact stated that the message "Battery Over Heated" was displayed, and the check engine warning light was illuminated. The failure mileage was 61,000.

Upon attempting to charge the vehicle with factory supplied Level 1 charger, a dashboard message appeared stating "Service Charging System" and the vehicle would not charge. Took the vehicle to a service station and scanned the vehicle. Listed error code is p0d27-00. The code could not be cleared and the vehicle was unable to be charged. Vehicle had to be taken to a Chrysler dealer for the code to be cleared in order to charging capability to be restored. This was considered a "software" issue and not covered under the vehicles warranty - despite it directly affecting the fuel/hybrid propulsion system. This defect and inability to clear the code means the vehicle cannot be charged, reducing its range and fuel economy, and increasing emissions. This is a critical issue and should not incur customer expense to have the code cleared.

We got a notice that said to pull over because the vehicle will shut down. We did and the vehicle shut down and went into red turtle mode only a few seconds after the indicator light appeared. This was unsafe in our situation and would be very unsafe at highway speeds or in busy traffic. The dealer has not been able to reproduce the issue (although has confirmed the error code) but will also not confirm that the car is safe for us to drive. The car is still at the dealer. They will not fix the car unless the error code is replicated. We do not feel comfortable driving the car until it is fixed or they are willing to confirm it is safe to drive. It has been more than 2 months with no progress.

This vehicle has experienced three separate powertrain failures stemming from the same transmission defect (DTC P0A43 — Drive Motor Position Sensor, eFlite transmission). Incident 1 — April 19, 2026: Complete sudden loss of motive power on the highway with family aboard. Vehicle towed to Castle Rock Chrysler CDJR. Failed Repair — May 8, 2026: Chrysler corporate mandated a software flash rather than a hardware repair. Vehicle failed identically within 10 miles of pickup in live highway traffic. Towed back same day. Incident 3 — June 6, 2026: A replacement transmission was installed. Within one week of pickup, a progressive transmission whine developed followed by visible smoke from the engine compartment while driving. Vehicle was immediately pulled over and towed to avoid a third highway failure. Chrysler's own STAR engineering team (TSB 21-014-26) has documented this as a known defect requiring transmission rebuild or replacement. Chrysler blocked a full transmission replacement for over 5 weeks citing backorder, then located one within hours when a repurchase review was requested. This defect causes sudden loss of motive power at highway speeds with no warning, creating an immediate safety hazard. I am requesting NHTSA investigate this defect pattern on 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid vehicles and evaluate whether a safety recall is warranted.

Rearback up camera intermittently unavailable even after recall with software update. Sometimes is distorted and delayed, sometimes blue or black screen and says camera unavailable. Have to repeatedly reboot camera system.

1. Most emergency lights come on while the vehicle's brake engages automatically. The brake then pumps up and down on its own if any pressure is applied. Shortly after, the vehicle goes into "limp mode". The vehicle is currently at a Chrysler Dealership service department and available for inspection. 2. This has occurred 8 times since the vehicle was purchased in October 2024. All but one time, it has happened while driving. Once it happened while on a major highway. I had to quickly veer into a turn lane so our vehicle was not rearended by another car. Another time, I was driving my children to school and it happened about 10 seconds before crossing the worst intersection in our city. That could have resulted in a major crash based on the history of that intersection. A third time, I was traveling at about 40 miles an hour when warnings came on and the brake started to engage. Luckily, I had just gotten off a major highway and I was able to get to the side of the road. 3. The problem has been confirmed by a dealer, since it happened while I was in their service parking lot. However, they have been unable to recreate, find the source of, or fix the issue after 7 times of servicing it. 4. I am unsure whether the manufacturer has sent anyone outside of the dealer's service department to inspect the vehicle. We have been in contact with the manufacturer directly since December 26, 2025 in relation to this issue. Our extended warranty company may have had an inspector out on the

My 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid has developed a dangerous rear brake system malfunction. During a dealer inspection on 4/27/26, the certified technician confirmed that the rear brake pads are only contacting approximately 50% of the rotor surface, leaving the remaining half completely unused and heavily corroded. This is not normal corrosion or wear. It is a mechanical failure in which the pads are not engaging the rotor correctly. The technician also stated that the pads were sticking in the caliper slides, which prevented full engagement. This is a functional defect in the brake hardware, not environmental corrosion. Corrosion does not selectively prevent half of a brake pad from engaging the rotor unless the caliper mechanism is not operating properly. This defect results in: Reduced rear braking force Increased stopping distance Excessive load on the front brakes Potential loss of stability during emergency braking Possible degradation of the parking brake The vehicle was serviced on 9/23/25 (tire rotation + NYS inspection) and 12/10/24 (four new tires + NYS inspection). No rear brake issues were identified at either visit. If this were normal corrosion, it would have been visible during those inspections. The sudden onset of severe partial engagement by 4/27/26 indicates a latent mechanical defect, not gradual wear. Chrysler/Stellantis has refused to classify this as a defect and instead labels it “corrosion,” despite the technician’s findings of pad binding in the slid

Driving down a highway at 70 mph and a notification popped up saying to pull over and turn off the vehicle because the engine would shut down soon. I lost the ability to accelerate and impeded traffic. Had to pull over on the side of the road with minimal shoulder. This has happened dozens of times; all at high rates of speed and often in heavy traffic.

My 2022 Pacifica Hybrid has experienced a total loss of motor propulsion THREE times in the last 8 days at highway (or near-highway) speeds. The car issued a warning to "Stop Safely Vehicle will Shut Off Soon" and had a turtle light appear along with a check engine light and I experienced no power going to the wheels on the highway. This included TWO incidents after a recall repair that was completed to supposedly fix this issue.

My 2022 Chrysler Pacifica PHEV has experienced three separate complete losses of motive power at highway speed, each preceded only by a brief dashboard warning to pull over safely. First occurrence: April 18, 2026. Second: May 7, 2026 — vehicle towed to Spitzer Motor City (Cleveland, OH), an authorized Stellantis dealer. Dealer replaced the Power Inverter Module hardware under warranty (R.O. 42463CY). Third occurrence: May 17, 2026 — just five days after the repair. Notably, the battery was at 40% on the third occurrence, meaning the engine had not cycled on, distinguishing this failure from the prior two. The root cause is the internal transmission wiring harness connector short identified in NHTSA Recall 03A (23V-010). Per NHTSA's own ODI investigation (RQ24-004), the software recall remedy does not prevent loss of motive power. TSB 21-008-23 / Warranty Extension XE1 identifies full transmission replacement as the correct fix. The dealer did not perform a transmission replacement. The safety risk is severe — complete, sudden loss of drive power at interstate speeds with minimal warning creates immediate rear-end collision risk. The defect has been confirmed by the authorized dealer. The transmission assembly is available for inspection. No police or insurance involvement. This VIN currently shows zero open recalls, suggesting the incomplete repair was logged as satisfying Recall 03A.

Traveling on an interstate at 75 mph (posted speed limit) and a warning popped up telling us to pull over bc the engine will shut off. We lost acceleration and could not continue with the flow of traffic. Had to cross through multiple lanes of traffic without the ability to accelerate. This has happened several times in this vehicle. I feel unsafe driving.

I was traveling on the freeway at approximately 65 miles per hour. I slowed to approximately 50 miles per hour to pass a disabled vehicle and began accelerating again when the dash displayed a message that said "Stop Safely- Vehicle will Shut off soon" the check engine light, a red turtle light also lit up. I had to make a quick maneuver to the far right lane putting myself and other vehicles at risk to avoid the car shutting down in the middle of the freeway. I wanted to get closer to an exit so I continued driving slowly on the shoulder. The wouldn’t accelerate, so whatever speed I let it get down to was the fastest it would go. At the exit I was concerned I wouldn’t have enough power to make it up the hill so I shut off the car. I let it sit for a couple of minutes and then turned it back on. It turned on with the check engine light still on . I then drove it straight to the dealership using surface streets and keeping my speed around 40-45 miles per hour. This was the second time this vehicle has experience this kind of loss of power. The first time happened in July 2024 and resulted in a full transmission replacement. This incident constitutes a dangerous loss of motive power at highway speeds. The failure mode appears identical to the issues described in NHTSA Safety Recall 23V-010 (Chrysler Recall 03A), yet this vehicle has already had a full transmission replacement for this exact issue in the past.

The contact owns a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, there was a loud sound coming from the engine with the message "Service Hybrid System" displayed. The sound was noticeable while accelerating and decelerating. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, but no DTC was retrieved; however, the contact was informed that the transmission control module needed to be reprogrammed. The TCM was reprogrammed; however, the issue persisted with a high-pitched whining sound. The manufacturer was notified of the issue. The approximate failure mileage was 48,000.

While driving on the highway, the vehicle unexpectedly entered “limp mode”. Approximately 10 seconds before the vehicle reduced power, a warning message appeared indicating the vehicle was about to shut down. This created a dangerous situation because we were traveling in the middle lane of a highway with vehicles moving at significantly higher speeds on both sides. We were able to carefully move to the side of the road and eventually exit the highway; however, the vehicle was limited to approximately 15–20 mph and could not safely travel at normal speeds due to limp mode. There is an existing recall related to this issue. The vehicle had already received the software update that provides advance warning before shutdown. While the warning is helpful, it does not address the underlying safety issue, which appears to be related to a hardware problem involving faulty transmission wiring rather than software alone.

At Random, the dashboard will light up with a red brake light, the check engine light, front end collision warning, and the ABS warning light. IT gives me several messages as well. Service electronic stability control, Auto emergency Braking Active Braking off, Auto emergency Braking unavailable Service Required. When this happens the brake pedal is impossible to push and it takes every ounce of power to get the vehicle to stop. This is no warning that this is coming and it happens most often when you are driving. This puts myself and my family at risk as well as everyone that is driving near me when this happens. It has been repaired 6 times by 2 different dealerships, and it still isn't fixed.

The vehicle completely stopped and shut off while driving on the roadway. Luckily no one was behind me. The check engine light did come on right before but it wasn’t on long enough for me to get somewhere to stop and check it out. There had not been any issues prior to this. The vehicle is still being serviced but they said it was the 12v battery and electric coolant heater that needs replacing so far.

My vehicle has been saying engine will shut off soon, and loses power . Transmission is the issue as I have had it diagnosed 3 times with the code P0a43. Mazda dealership which I purchased the vehicle verified by running a diagnostic.engine light comes on after the vehicle shuts off. Me and my children’s safety is at risk due to it stopping multiple times on freeway also stopping at a stoplight that was around a curve with blind spot . Has stopped on a two lane road with no emergency lane. Stopped at another light and had to wave traffic around.

I would like to submit a formal complaint regarding the inadequate rental reimbursement being provided while a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica is undergoing recall repairs (Recall No. 226 – Ejection Mitigation). I took my vehicle to the dealership for recall repairs on March 12, 2026. The dealership does not provide loaner or rental vehicles. Chrysler Customer Care representatives advised that rental reimbursement would be limited to $60 per day. However, the actual cost of obtaining transportation exceeds this amount. Even a significantly smaller compact vehicle currently costs approximately $69 per day to rent. A comparable vehicle to the Chrysler Pacifica, such as a minivan or similar family-sized vehicle, is substantially more expensive than the reimbursement amount being offered. As a result, a compact vehicle that is significantly smaller and not comparable to the Chrysler Pacifica had to be rented. This vehicle does not meet the same functional needs, comfort level, or standard of transportation normally relied upon. Additionally, the difference between the rental cost and the reimbursement limit must be paid out-of-pocket. This situation creates an unfair financial burden resulting solely from a manufacturer recall that is outside of the consumer’s control. Customer Care has been contacted multiple times regarding this matter; however, no resolution or adjustment to the reimbursement limit has been offered. The current policy places additional financial strain on the consumer

The headrest failed. The headrest pivots on the steel supports, and there's a ratchet inside, that is actuated by a plastic piece, which is then connected to cabling. The plastic piece internally broke it's actually unbelievably small for the application, the engineers should be ashamed of themselves. I'm going to guess 1/8" diameter, maximum, snapped right at the ratchet mechanism. If the weak plastic does happen to let loose in an accident, that headrest is going to flop forward and will not provide the head support that it's supposedly designed to provide. The way the headrest angles forward I worry about decapitation or severe neck injury causing quadriplegia in the event of an accident. This piece should work and be dependable not a tiny piece of plastic that often breaks with minimal use. We should know we have dependable headrest function in the event of an automobile crash.
