A slow coolant leak is draining the coolant from the reservoir into the engine. This has happened twice now and no external leaks can be found. The first instance in June 2021 was on a trip from Goldsboro, NC to Antigo, WI. We made it to Chicago and noticed the engine temp climbing. We thought it was due to the trip and heat but had just stopped in Ohio the day prior. We took the vehicle to a local shop and they told us the coolant was nearly gone. The second time happened just [XXX] when I took my Pacifica in for an oil change. The shop stated my coolant was very low and they had to fill it up. They again found no visible external leak. I had noticed that it was low as well the day prior after getting home and knowing the shop is less than 2 miles away I knew I could get the van there safely. I did notice the temperature going up quickly even though it has been bitterly cold the last few days. I've been doing research and found many Pacifica and other online forums stating this issue had led to engine failures totaling repair costs in excess of $5,000 as of 2023 before continued inflation. This poses a huge safety risk for motorists if the engine fails while in transit as well as during extreme weather both cold and hot. Please hold the manufacturer accountable to fix this common defect for those of us who cannot afford a new vehicle.

My care had issue and showing message on dashboard for "service shifter" and was diagnosed by the Ferman Dealership on US 19, New Port Richey, FL. After dealership fixed the issue, Paid around $800, I picked up the car and drove around and took on freeway, after sometimes I got the message of service shifter again on dashboard and steering became hard and other function were stopped working. It felt like car was driving by itself as it would go up in speed even when i did not have my foot on it. Even after hitting the break it would stop but then again it would go up in speed by itself. I parked my car and waited after 15 to 20 min then started driving normally. I had to drop the car back to the dealership and explained the whole situation. They looked at it again and fixed the issue. After picking it up 2nd time i noticed i had issue with my screen. It started acting on its own like it was a ghost touch screen. It would jump to other setting while listening to music or have my navigation on, it would stop. Also, when backing up the care i noticed my back camera went blank, I could not see anything. Also, other time other cameras went blank. Like a black spot where you can't see anything. Called the dealership again and explained them. They told me to do the resent which i could not able to do it so went to dealership and they did reset the screen but after sometimes on the same day it started acting up again. I dropped the car again and told them to look into it. They did reset it again and told me that due to sun exposure screen has bubbles inside. I have this car since 5 years and did not have this problemThis issue i didn't have it before service shifter message popped up. Now they said there will be additional cost to replace the screen which cost around $1700. This is something that dealership needs to cover since issue started after fixing service shifter problem. And this is a safety issue as when i back up i can't see anything and screen acting on its own.

After taking my car in for the recall on the battery which required a system update, I’ve had multiple errors that the Chrysler service department cannot resolve. Four times in the last two weeks when I get in the car and crank it, it will not go into drive or the shifter does not work at all. I’m having multiple errors on saying service shifter and service electrical battery that had never occurred before the system recall update. I’ve been stranded multiple times in the last two weeks. It must be related to the recall update that was done in my car. It cannot be a sheer coincidence that I never had issues until the update. The service department is not helpful in anyway and returns my car with no answer. Simple google research shows this is a recurring issue after the update.

I am having an issue with the monitor in vehicle. For several months now have and issue with the backup camera some times working and sometimes it doesn't. It will sometimes be gray or black but will show the lane lines but no outside picture. It will also sometimes show the backup camera but it will be froze and does not move with the vehicle. Saturday had and issue where the monitor was ghost touching the buttons on the screen; it was turning the channel and also changing the air conditioner. I had to cut the radio and monitor off so the air would work properly. was reading online where some people were having this same issue and was saying it was being recalled for software issues, but with my vin number shows no recalls at all. just wondering if this is a issue that should be recalled on these vehicles or if there is another reason for it. If it happens again I will surely get pictures or video evidence since there is an option on here for it.

Vehicle Incident Summary – 2019 Chrysler Pacifica [XXX] is the orginal owner Initial Incident – [XXX] At 50,779 miles, my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica lost all power while driving on Mound Road in Sterling Heights, MI. Officer Nathan Sears from the Sterling Heights Police Department assisted, and the vehicle had to be towed. The diagnosis at the time was complete battery failure—both batteries were replaced. Current Ongoing Issue – [XXX] At 86,000 miles, the vehicle once again became completely inoperable. It was towed to Jim Riehl’s Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram in Warren, MI. I was initially told the issue was the starter, and I paid $1,200 for the repair. However, the vehicle still does not start. I have now been told the issue may be a blown head gasket or engine failure. The dealership is requesting an additional $2,000–$3,000 just to disassemble the vehicle to determine the exact cause. If it is indeed an engine failure, I’ve been informed that repairs could cost up to $12,000. Concerns: I paid for a starter replacement and the car remains undrivable. There was no resolution or refund offered despite a misdiagnosis. Now I am being asked to pay thousands more just to identify the problem. If this is engine failure, it occurred at only 86,000 miles. I have since found many other Pacifica owners reporting similar failures—battery, engine, and complete loss of power—raising concerns of a potential manufacturing defect. Why I’m Reporting This: This vehicle has experienced major, potentially dangerous failures twice—first a complete power loss while driving, and now possible engine failure without warning. If this had happened at higher speeds or on the highway, it could have been catastrophic. I am requesting this issue be investigated for possible safety defects and design flaws.

Shifter service keeps coming on. Won’t move out of park. Warning lights come on for service engine, fwc, have been brought to dealer 2 times already. They say multiple vans have been brought in for same issue and don’t know how to fix. They are saying they got it and next morning same issue. Photos attached. Plus a bill for $1500 and still not fixed.

On multiple occasions my warning lights come on and my van goes into limp mode. It says it’s my throttle body and gas paddle but I had those put on. Some days the car runs perfectly fine. When the problem happens. I have to cut the car off then restart it. Sometimes it’s ride just a little. Then go back into limp mode. And other times it’s just ride perfectly normal for days. It’s been doing this since I had around 65000 miles on my van.

Vehicle was driving 60 mph and turned off, told me to put car in park while driving on the highway. Car now stalls too often (within a mile of starting) to drive. At repair shop now and cannot find a fix. Common problem with this vehicle.

We have had the Auxiliary battery replaced 3 times so far and the light for just came on again, the 4th time. Here are the dates and receipts for the replacements. Clearly there’s a flaw somewhere And Chrysler is not addressing is with all the affected vehicles. I’ve seen a recall on them but apparently my van is not part of it … even though they replaced that battery 3 times so far on average every 1 year 3 months. “Chrysler has announced that 198731 vehicles have been affected by a Battery recall. Chrysler (FCA US LLC) is recalling certain 2017-2019 Pacifica vehicles equipped with engine stop/start systems. A loose battery ground connection may result in an intermittent loss of power steering assist and/or a stall.” 7/24/23 Atlantic Dodge Ram - replaced Auxiliary battery under warranty (3rd time) and regular battery (see receipt below) Case #[XXX] 7/17/23 7/21/22 Atlantic Dodge Dealer Battery replaced 3/3/21 Purchased new battery at Garber Dealer & Atlantic Dodge dealer replaced regular battery and installed auxiliary battery I bought from Garber (see attached receipt) Please help I have a child that requires frequent doctor/hospital visits who almost died and we can’t be dealing with this issue over and over again.

On 4 occasions upon stopping at either traffic lights or stop signs the vehicle has completely shut off and shift to park on its own. The first time it shown the hood was open, upon checking the hood was locked. The other times there were no alerts indicated on the instrument panel.

After backing up and putting the vehicle in DRIVE the backing up camera will remain on for up to 10 second.

When at a stopped position, the brake pedal gets stiff and starts pushing back … and then the car starts creeping forward. I’ve almost hit countless cars in drive-through, and my car tries to creep through red lights. It’s also very hard to brake. I went to one shop and they said it was the brake booster and vacuum hose , and that a lot of people were complaining about this issue in the Pacifica’s. I took the car to a Chrysler dealership to get it repaired and they said the brake booster is on back order because it’s a common problem. The only way to get the car to stop from rolling when you’ve got the brake on is to slam down on the brake (then it’s a crazy crunching sound) or to throw it into park before it gets you into traffic. It’s scary and it’s not safe.

My 2019 Pacifica Hybrid started showing a message around 07/19 “Service Charing Station” followed by Service Park brakes, Service Parking system and was not able to start or control anything in the car. After 15 to 30 minutes it started working and no errors. On Friday, 07/26, car stopped all of a sudden (luckily my family was in the parking lot) and showed a different message “Stop Safely. Vehicle will stop soon” message and after that it went completely dead. This is a concern that the vehicle would stop when driving and making the vehicle not responding to anything. You cannot control (brakes, driving modes, light) anything and when AAA jump started the car was in “Running” mode and asking to power on the vehicle.

I had my three children in the van and was holding our new baby as I opened the automatic passenger-side sliding door. It opened part way, got stuck, but the autotrack kept operating trying to open the door. At that point, the whole door fell off and the window immediately behind the door broke. We had it towed to a dealer since we didn't want to drive it with everything open. I was very fortunate that the door didn't drop on my feet or that one of my children wasn't standing there waiting to get in! With the holiday, we are waiting to talk to our insurance agent on Monday. The dealer has given us an estimate to fix everything, but that is the only thing like an inspection. Prior to the incident, the door would sometimes stop when opening, then it would reverse and close itself. Then you could reopen it and it worked. There were no other warnings.

Mar 29, 2024

Have replace both batteries every year since purchased, the engine start stop acts up alot of the time when you pull up to a red light the engine will turn off and then turn on automatically (shuts the electrical system completely down then it will come back on) the batteries like over heat and swell up will this cause a fire

Jan 26, 2024

The entire radio/ backup camera freezes and will not come back on for minutes at a time. The dealer is aware of the problem and replaced the entire system once already. They were not able to reproduce the issue however I have video and pictures of a few incidents. There were no warnings however it almost always happens when first starting the car and so the backup camera becomes unusable along with all temperature controls and radio.

Jan 16, 2024

The Uconnect 4 infotainment system is consistently rebooting every 2-3 minutes, leaving several safety measures for the vehicle from being used during those times. This leaves risk that the safety feature is not usable when needed for example rear warning for small child behind vehicle is not operable. As well the Navigation system is not working appropriately and has the vehicle always located at a street that I am no where near. This leaves risk that it will be a distraction to driver to locate their whereabouts in unfamiliar areas. Also not able to use hands free system for mobile device when the system is continuously rebooting as such and therefore would not be able to make call for emergency assistance when needed. FCA US LLC has been provided many complaints about this yet continues to ignore that this is a wide spread issue and is nationwide. Therefore they fail to extend the warranty related to the Uconnect 4 infotainment system and render thousands of people having to cover the cost of their faulty Uconnect product.

Jan 9, 2024

Suddenly, without warning, the radio changes stations (goes from SXM to radio, etc) and the entire display goes amok switching from radio to climate control to other functions. Then the climate control system malfunctions causing the temperature to continuously go up as well as the heated seat and steering wheel to get hotter and hotter. It first occurred in March 2022 (when van was under warranty) and was brought in to Chrysler who did NOT record the incident and said they saw nothing wrong. Today (now that it is out of warranty) they say they have to reset the radio thing ($200-ish) and maybe replace the entire system ($1300-ish). We have video of both incidents, but there were a few in between that we didn't record. I cannot figure out how to upload the 2 videos.

Dec 29, 2023 Crash

Vehicle parked faced in in a tight fitting space in a hotel underground parking area. When leaving the knob was in the park position, push button start, vehicle started in the park position, looked behind and the people across from me had just loaded their van. They were now on the side of their van. It was now clear. I then placed the transmission from park to reverse still with the foot on the brake. I then released the brake . The vehicle suddenly and abruptly went in reverse without accelerating but when applying the brake the vehicle would not stop and continued going backwards even though I was firmly now pressing and pumping on the brake pedal to no avail. I yelled at my wife, "it won't stop, it won't stop" It backed up not stopping for approximately 25 feet and struck two vehicles finally coming to rest, The damage to all three vehicles including mine was minor. I reported the accident on private property to my insurance company. I know for a fact that my foot did not push down on the accelerator pedal nor was part of my foot on both the brake and accelerator pedal. which is almost impossible to do. The stop start system had broken three times since purchasing the van. This was done again 2 weeks before this accident. The vehicle is available for inspection. Quite apparent ithis is a safety risk. This occurred 1 day ago and has not been inspected. Accident on private property in Calif. No accident report was taken. No warning lamps, messages etc occurred. I keep the van in good repair. No warnings light at all other than the stop start feature which was dealt with by the Chrysler dealership. They, in my opinion have not been helpful to me. The rep I talked with at the dealership re the stop start problem was not aware that the alternator is 14 volts and the battery 12 volts. How basic.

On two different occasions and in two different places my vehicle stalled.Once on a highway in a traffic jam and once coming off a highway exit on my way home. In both cases the vehicle simply lost power. It is a 2019 Pacifica Touring L. I looked it up and saw similar complaints concerning the hybrid model but none for a non-hybrid. The vehicle is available for inspection. It is an extreme safety issue as both happened on or just leaving a major highway with lots of traffic. I am taking it into the local dealer hopefully tomorrow. The vehicle has not been inspected by anyone as of this date. No warning lights or messages flashed prior to the events. The vehicle has been serviced by the local Chrysler dealer up until the last oil change at 48,000 miles. On each occasion I instinctively stabbed the "start" button and it fired right up. Dates were 12/01 and 12/09.

-The auto stop and start function component failed, then the battery died and let me know when you want to inspect it. Weekends are best. -The car shuts off randomly. -Unknown -Unknown -The auto stop and start function message pops up all the time, even after the battery was replaced. Car shut down two months ago and wouldn't turn on, had to have it jumped and then replace the main battery. Now it's following the same pattern as last time. I am going to replace the second battery. Sometimes when accelerating it jumps forward and it makes a banging sound. Key has a new battery in it. When key is pressed sometimes horn is weak. It goes on and off. The auto stop and start function message pops up a lot even after main battery was replaced.

We have automatic sliding doors. My six-year-old son was exiting a door that he didn't know was closing, and it closed on his head. It did NOT stop or retract when it hit an obstruction. It kept going. If I hadn't been right by the button and hit it, it could have crushed him or killed him. There was no warning bell, nothing. He was screaming and so was I. This is a vehicle that is marketed to families with small children.

Aug 1, 2023

The auto start stop service light keeps going on. It drains the battery. The car now puts itself into park while at a red light or stop sign. In the last year I've had 2 batteries replaced and since 2019 the car has been in the shop 5 or 6 times, still they cannot fix the issue.

Jul 20, 2023

On Wednesday, 7/19, I was stopped at a red light on a busy road in Gastonia, NC (South New Hope Road and Titman Road). When the light turned green, and I put my foot on the gas, the car stalled and shut off. Upon pressing the ignition button, it would not start again. For several weeks, the car would stall at a red light, but would always turn back on by pressing the ignition button. There were NO warning messages whatsoever. I had to cross a busy road to get to the sidewalk to get out of danger. The car was in the left turn lane, stopped with hazards on. My husband had to come, turn our other car around so he could attempt to charge the battery. When he charged the battery, the car started. I had to, again, cross the busy road to get back to my van and go home. We changed the car's two batteries, and it has not happened again so far. Upon reading several Chrysler Pacifica forums, apparently when the battery gets low (it was at 30% when this happened), the auto start shuts off and does not work since there is not enough power left in the battery.

Jun 20, 2023

My wife got in the vehicle after shopping and tried to start the vehicle. She said all displays were dark or blank and no instrument cluster lights, no indication on the touch screen. She said she tried several times to start the vehicle and same thing happened. She stated that after waiting a considerable time she tried calling me about the problem but I didn’t answer. She then tried one more time to start the vehicle and this time everything came up normally. When she got home I checked the vehicle for malfunctions and found none. Thus far the problem has not recurred. This happened about 2 weeks ago, around the 8th or 9th of June 2023. I decided to fill this out because if she had been traveling on the Interstate Highway at high speed this could have ended very badly.

May 11, 2023

The affected component is the backup camera and warning system. The malfunction happens in a loop around every 3 minutes. My safety and that of others is put at risk when the backup and rear collision warning fails to function and negates backward motion visibility to the driver by such failure. There are no warning lamps currently or any notification of any failure in the car. I have taken the car to the dealership and they have found no issues.

Aug 12, 2022

When I left work tonight, my backup camera got stuck on my screen. I couldn't clear it off. It stayed on even while driving. I had no access to the UConnect system at all. The radio power button wouldn't even work. I tried turning the car off an back on. The problem continued. Once I finally got home, I turned the car off for about 30 minutes and restarted it. The problem was then resolved. I'm worried it will happen again though. After researching, I saw that there were reports of this happening a few years ago, but apparently my VIN was not included in that recall.

Jul 30, 2022

I read that there is on ongoing investigation related to the 2019-2021 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid (Investigation# PE-22-008). I read the ODI Resume, and would like to report the exact same issue with my Pacifica. I was traveling at about 40 MPH on a four lane highway in February of 2022 when I suddenly lost all motive power. The dashboard reported a charging system error. I was able to get the car to the side of the road (though I was lucky to be able to do so) and it had to be towed to the Chrysler dealership (Deery Brothers Chrysler, 651 Hwy 1 W, Iowa City, IA 52246, 319-600-6890). They replaced a part in the charging system and it briefly ran, and then failed (thus the dealer has also reproduced the problem). It has now been at the dealership since then waiting for Chrysler to figure out the problem. Apparently Chrysler has sent an engineer to Deery as well, so there may be some confirmation from the manufacturer.

Jul 11, 2022

Our van completely stalled while driving. It just shut off while we were driving twice today. This is the first event to happen like this. We could have been in a serious wreck as we had just exited the interstate both times. "Start/stop unavailable" and "service shifter" warnings appeared.

Hood latch assembly & hood ajar switch stuck intermittently. Hood could’ve flew open & caused an accident. Vehicle is only 2yrs old. Repairs completed at Autonation Dealership the week of 5/11/22

Recently I had occasion to look at the front hood of the car which my wife drives. I noticed that the paint had bubbled in three areas. I contacted Stellantis and was told since the car had more than 36,000 miles there was nothing they would do to help. I am filing this on behalf of myself and any other owners who may have experienced the same problem

Feb 22, 2022

While going thru a car wash the passenger sliding door opened while the vehicle was moving causing the door to hit a post in the car wash and be ripped off the van. The rear passenger window was busted out from the van door sliding hinge. I checked online and found accounts of similar van owners complaining that the sliding rear doors only open when the vehicle is stopped and in Park. In my case the van was moving, the door had been locked, and the vehicle transmission was in neutral in order for the car wash track to move it thru the car wash.

Jan 25, 2022

The uconnect navigation system that controls the back up camera to car, the controls for the air conditioning/heat, and all the settings of the car is faulty and causes a short circuit. I have researched that a lot of consumers have problems with the chrysler pacifica uconnect system and they report similar issues. when you go to the car dealer they want to charge you 650 for a new one.

Dec 20, 2021

monitor screen with all the cars information goes blank every 3-4 minutes then restarts and navigation goes out and radio and all climate control function quit working until the system restarts which causes driver distraction and is safety issue for me. Had to dealer but they have been unable to correct problem

Aug 27, 2021

My vehicle at 28,k plus miles I noticed it seemed to slip. This would happen intermittently. I thought I was imagining it at first. Then it started to do a more violent jerking. The dealership did a reset. It started doing it a week later, and intermittently. I was also in the dealership because I was hearing a clunking noise in the rear when driving over uneven pavement, or backing out of my driveway. I have been waiting two months for rear struts to fix the issue. Vehicle sounds getting progressively worse and I'm concerned about driving. Today the rear struts wear promised to arrive. I was just told they will arrive Sept 10, 2021. Three days ago, an alert symbol popped onto my dash screen -a yellow circle with an A inside followed by an exclamation mark. I am bringing my vehicle in on August 30, 2021. The dealer said I need to have the battery charged!? They are also going to reset the transmission slipping program, again. Are other 2019 vehicles having the same issues?

When braking, the brakes will fail to engage and pumping the brakes is required to stop. When the brake is depressed at a light, the brakes will release, causing the car to start forward without pressing the gas pedal. The brake booster in ABS system is defective and on national back order. No recalls in place, but driving safety is severely compromised.

AFTER WAITING AT THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOR 6 HOURS ON 3/3/20, THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT WAS UNABLE TO COMPLETE THE UPDATE OF THE RADIO SOFTWARE AND THEREBY WAS UNABLE TO REMEDY THE SAFETY RECALL UPLOAD FOR THE REAR CAMERA ISSUE UNDER VE2?NHTSA 19V-886. THE PERCENTAGES OF COMPLETION WERE 92% AND 50%. DEALERSHIP SAID THEY HAVE HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE UPDATE AND IN MANY CASES THE RADIO SYSTEM AND SPEAKERS WERE BLOWN OUT DURING THEIR ATTEMPT TO UPDATE THE SOFTWARE. AS A RESULT, THE DEALER SAID IT MAY BE BETTER TO AVOID TRYING THE UPDATE AGAIN, UNLESS THE PROBLEM OF THE RECALL OCCURS. THIS DEALER POSITION IS DUE TO THEIR CLAIM THAT THE RADIO AND SPEAKER SYSTEM COULD BLOW OUT AND IT WOULD TAKE SEVERAL MONTHS FOR RADIO/SPEAKERS TO BE REPAIRED. ALSO, THE DEALER EXPLAINED IN THE EVENT THAT THE RADIO/SPEAKERS WOULD BLOW OUT, THE 8.4" SCREEN WOULD NOT SHOW ANY INFORMATION, SUCH AS RELATING TO THE GPS AND/OR THE REAR VIEW WHEN BACKING UP. SO, THE UPDATE TO REMEDY THE RECALL HAD FAILED. NOTE: THE REPAIR DEALER IS REEDMAN TOLL, WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM THE DEALER WHERE I PURCHASED THE VAN IN MARYLAND.

FIRST DAY WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, THE ENGINE LIGHT WENT ON AND THE HYBRID BATTERY NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. TWO WEEKS LATER THE VEHICLE KEPT STALLING, AND EVENTUALLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP. FOUR WEEKS OF PURCHASE, OUR CAR BEGANS STALLING AGAIN AND OUR ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON. TECH SAYS "THE CAR FIXED ITSELF". THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AGAIN.

A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE EXISTS WITH ELECTRIC SLIDING AND RAISE/LOWER TAIL GATE DOORS. THIS IS MY THIRD CHRYSLER PACIFIC, 2014, 2017, AND NOW 2019. ON THIS 2019, IT DOES HAVE ONE DOOR, THE DRIVER SIDE SLIDER, THAT HAS A WARNING BUZZER IF LEFT OPEN WHEN THE VEHICLE DRIVE IS ENGAGED, AND ONLY WHEN THE VEHICLE ATTEMPTS TO MOVE IN REVERSE. THAT WARNING DOES NOT EXIST IF THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FORWARD AND IT DOES NOT EXIST AT ALL FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE SLIDER. SO MANY TIMES, WE INADVERTENTLY AND UNKNOWINGLY DRIVE OFF WITH SLIDERS OPEN AND/OR TAIL GATE OPEN. THIS IS A SERIOUS DESIGN FLAW WITH THE DANGER OF ITEMS UNKNOWINGLY FALLING OUT WHILE TRAVELING. IT IS POSSIBLE THAT CHILDREN OR ANIMALS COULD FALL OUT. THE VEHICLE SHOULD NEVER BE ABLE TO BE DRIVEN IF EITHER SLIDER IS OPEN. NOR SHOULD THE CAR BE ABLE TO BE DRIVEN WITH THE TAIL GATE DOOR OPEN. WHILE THERE COULD BE AN OCCASION WITH THE CUSTOMER MIGHT INTENTIONALLY NEED TO HAVE THE TAIL DOOR OPEN TO ACCOMMODATE AND OVER-LENGTH ITEM, THERE SHOULD BE A BY-PASS SWITCH WITH A CONTINUOUSLY LIT WARNING LIGHT ON THE DASH. TO COMBAT DRIVING WITH THE TAILGATE DOOR OPEN, WE HAVE PLACED SEVERAL NARROW VERTICAL STRIPS OF TAKE ON THE BACK WINDOW TO ALERT THE DRIVER. WITHOUT THAT TAPE IT IS ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE FOR THE DRIVER TO BE AWARE OF THE OPEN TAILGATE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND ANNOYING. TYPICALLY, IF THE CLOSE BUTTON IS PRESSED TO LOWER THE TAIL GATE DOOR OR THE SLIDERS TO, IF THE DOOR ENCOUNTERS SOME OBJECT AS IT IS CLOSING, IT WILL RETRACT TO THE FULLY OPEN POSITION WITHOUT THE DRIVERS KNOWLEDGE. THIS SHOULD BE TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE.

DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY IN NORMAL WEATHER CONDITIONS AND THE PASSENGER FRONT WINDOW JUST EXPLODED, COMPLETELY SHATTERED AND CAME INTO THE VAN, GLASS GOT ALL OVER MY PASSENGERS. THERE WAS NO ROCK OR OBJECT THAT HIT THE WINDOW.
