2022 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Unknown Or Other Problems

I have no damage to my vehicle or no recalls

Dash message "Stop safely vehicle will shut off soon" included a red exclamation mark in the middle with a red triangle and a turtle in the bottom right. A yellow reduced speed type indicator in the top right and a check engine light all at the same time. Also a chime sounded. This occured in town moving around 35 mph. Dealer stated this exact VIN had already received a rebuilt trans around 50k miles from another dealer. Took dealer 2+ months to repair, and had to call many many times to encourage them to push to get it completed. Manufacturer seemed to delay sending parts because they can - no good reason provided. First Power Inverter Module (PIM) was replaced, but that did not resolve the issue. Then dealer rebuilt entire transmission. Dealer lead tech stated that a roller bearing near the bottom of the trans appeared to have start failing, which then causes a short and or some kind of damage with the electrical "phasers". Multiple conversations with lead technician and Chrysler cares indicate clearly that Chrysler is NOT investigating the issue deeply (they did not want any of the failed components, nor did they ask for details from dealer - are they even trying to resolve root cause.... this has been occurring since the earliest models). Chrysler should have a financial incentive to fix to remediate warranty repairs. Why can't chat GPT find literally anything on the web about the root cause, why is it nothing other than reports of the issue can be found??? Nobody has done a root cause analysis. Is Chrysler paying to minimize bad press??? If Chrysler replaced entire trans with rebuilt one at 50k and now it failed again at 80k - when can I expect it to fail a third time?

Number of days your vehicle is down: indefinitely as of now there is no fix according to the dealership parts are at least 10 weeks out with them not knowing how to do the install once parts arrive Number of Repair Attempts: there is no fix as of now but the vehicle has broken down 4 times parts for the transmission are on back order (at least ten weeks) and they do not know how to install the parts once they arrive First Repair Attempt Date and Problem: June 10, 2025 The van showed a message saying pull over as the vehicle will stop while we were on the highway heading to my daughters graduation. Initially. We were able to pull over that time and stop driving before the car turned off. we took the vehicle in and they inspected it for the recall. Most recently, the vehicle did it again on the highway. I was not being able to pull all the way over prior to the vehicle, losing power and stopping in the middle of the highway with my children inside. Voice of the Customer / Complaint: as of now there is no timetable for us to be able to return driving the vehicle which is extremely unsafe. We purposely got a seven passenger van to transport our entire family, and at this point we have no way to do. So. The dealership says they are unable to give us a loaner for that, and we are getting no assistance with this with no timetable. As far as when the vehicle will be fixed. Therefore, I’m requesting a buyback of the vehicle so that we can get something to transport our family as the vehicle is down. I am still having to pay for the car note without having anything to Show for it. I cannot drive it as I don’t know when it will shut off. It is currently sitting at the dealer.

6/21/25 , a Saturday, I stopped at a traffic light when gas saver function kicked in and shut car off. The car went into park mode by itself and parking brake engaged. The car would not start and had to be towed. It sat until Monday when I was able to start it and drive it to my mechanic's business a mile from my location and shut it off. Immediately after shutting it off it would not start again. My mechanic was able to start it a few days later and when he drove it about 5 miles it just shut off and wouldn't start again. Today he is replacing the starter and believes the gas saver function may have contributed to the increased wear on the starter leading to failure, as well as the heat from the catalytic converter located near the starter. I am very nervous about driving this car again and worry it may happen again when I am in traffic. This is a major safety problem if not resolved.

The battery went dead in the van. I opened the driver's door using the key from the key fob. However, because there was no power, I couldn't open any of the other doors or lift gate not even from the inside. There appears to be no manual override to open those doors. I couldn't get to portable charger because it was in the back. This could be a significant safety issue. If the battery is dead, the only way for passengers to exit the vehicle is through the driver's door.

My wife was driving our 2022 Pacific PHEV Limited with 4 kids on board suddenly went into limp mode while driving northbound south of [XXX] on [XXX]. Turtle signal was on dash with just seconds to get off freeway on limp mode. Pacifica had to be towed to Woodhouse Chrysler in Sioux City where it remains to this day. Changed PCIM and remains in limp mode. Chrysler approved hybrid transmission repair under hybrid warranty but dealer found not repairable and needs new transmission. Now Chrysler refusing to have transmission replaced under warranty. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Subject: Urgent Safety Concern – Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid (VIN: [XXX] ) Dear NHTSA, I am writing to report a serious safety issue with my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid (VIN: [XXX] ). The vehicle experiences sudden power loss due to the following error codes: P079A-00 (transmission issue), P0A43-00 (hybrid battery issue), and P0A7D-00 (battery voltage issue). These problems have nearly caused accidents, including: On the highway: Power loss while overtaking, leaving me in a dangerous situation. In city traffic: Repeated power loss, almost causing collisions. The issues are well-documented among Pacifica Hybrid owners in the USA. NHTSA has received numerous complaints, and there are active class-action lawsuits due to unresolved problems. My vehicle was involved in a minor collision in the USA, classified as "clear title" (cosmetic damage only, no impact on the drivetrain or battery). Repairs were done professionally, and there is no connection to the current issues. I have contacted Chrysler and the authorized service center in Berlin, but received no response. This issue poses a direct safety risk, and I urge NHTSA to investigate and ensure a permanent solution. Attached: Error codes and incident descriptions. Correspondence with Chrysler and the service center. Documentation of the collision and repairs. Thank you for your attention. I look forward to your prompt response.

Wheel Bearing failure at 70,000 miles. Almost caused a head on crash.

The recall has still not been remedied Manufacturer Recall Number: 66B NHTSA Recall Number: 24V-436 Recall Status: Recall Incomplete

While driving the vehicle, received a message to stop safely vehicle will shut off soon. The car stops responding to the gas pedal and I had to try to quickly find a safe place to park the vehicle. I am lucky that I was not on a major highway at the time as I had three young children in the vehicle. Once stopped I was unable to turn off the van. The vehicle start/stop button was not responding and it took a long time before I was able to turn off the vehicle to try to restart it. The message remained and the car had to be towed to a dealership. It is now with the dealership while they determine the cause of the shut down. This is a serious issue to occur on a relatively new vehicle.

We were on the interstate. Driving the 80 mph speed limit. Got warning that said stop safety vehicle will shut off soon. I had 4 kids in the vehicle with me. I barely got it onto the shoulder before it completely shut off and would not move. Had to get it towed to nearest dealership 60 miles away. No answers left and now we are stranded. We could have been killed. No warning signs.

I was driving on highway, speed was about 70mph. All the sudden the dashboard said “ Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon”. Then the car start reducing the speed immediately no matter how hard I tried to accelerate. I stopped in the emergency lane. Shutdown the car. Then restart, I could drive about 30s to 60s, then the error came again. It occurred 6 times in total while I drove out the highway to a safety place in 2 miles.

Driving in residential area at 30mph and van turned off while moving. Message on dashboard said to push break and press to start. Vehicle put itself in park. No lights turned on. I heard a beep and felt engine shut off. Problem just happened and I haven't driven it since. Called auto shop and was advised to document I'd it happened again because they need a code or some evidence to give to techs.

While driving on the highway, warning came on to pull over safely that car would be shutting off. I had approximately 20 seconds to coast to side of the 3 lane highway an park on shoulder, as acceleration did not work. Car then shut down completely.

Vehicle lost all motive power. Accessories[Wdws,HzrdFlashers] still operational. Stopped DEAD in the middle of the road. Managed to ReStart vehicle. "Limped" along to a safer location, in pkg lot.

Driving down the highway. My vehicle notified me that it would shut down soon and to stop safely very unsafe. I felt I was lose control of the vehicle

The sliding driver side rear door malfunctioned - either a sensor did not go off, or the door did not register the sensor. My 4-year-old female child pressed the button to automatically open the sliding door, and attempted to climb in the vehicle as it was sliding open. She accidentally hit the button again as she entered, and the automatic sliding door began to close. Her head became trapped between the sliding door and the vehicle frame, and the door continued to attempt to shut, crushing her head. She screamed and I pressed the button again, and the door began to open, letting her loose. She was in significant pain and did not settle quickly; she has a large knot and bruising on her head where the automatic sliding door trapped her, and has a headache. The door should have registered that her body was in the way of closing, and additionally should have stopped and re-opened when it made contact with her head.

I purchased this van brand new. On the day I picked up on a Saturday and very excited! Sunday I went to go out and it didn’t start! Called the dealer on Monday and they sent out someone to jumpstart it and it wouldn’t start. It was towed to dealer and it was told it was the pcm that needed to replace. Work was done and it seemed fine. As I was driving on a trip from Chicago to Vegas with my grandchildren on two and a half day trip! The navigation system would shut down and reboot this has happen 5 times while driving. Making me lose my route. Then one day about two weeks ago it wouldn’t start or lock. After numerous times finally got it started but it wouldn’t lock so I and drove it to dealer. They hooked it up and could not find anything on the monitor. Then drove it back home and the same thing happened! So again I drove it to the dealer and again nothing showed up! This is very scary that it is happening and no explanation. The dealer says if we can’t recreate it then we don’t know what is going on! I need help on finding out why this is happening.

The vehicle was running while I was drove in the freeway. Suddenly, the screen dash kept pop up an message" shift to P, push the bottom to restart" the "D" kept blinking. The vehicle was slowing down even I stepped in gas. I had to parked to Emergency Parking on Highway immediate. Then I pushed the Power bottom to turn off the car. Then cannot back on. After 2 - 3 hours, the tow truck came, he able to restart the car. The car end up tow to the dealership that located in Pleasanton CA. But the dealership still have not to diagnose of my car since when the car been towed to their shop for 7 business day from now. No answer giving at all. Also Never receive Safety Recall noticed by mail, by text or by email.

Red turtle icon appears on dash with message “Vehicle Speed may be Reduced” repeatedly. Check engine light has come on after about the tenth time seeing the red turtle appear then go away. Vehicle has has not lost any ability to drive normally once engine light came on. A week after engine light appeared the red turtle still coming on and off and vehicle will lose power when turtle icon is on. This is a danger to my family if this persists. I have 3 kids in booster/ car seats and to suddenly lose power could be catastrophic in certain situations. Have an appointment to take on for service on 4/27/22 at Len Stoler Chrysler in Westminster MD

On 2/24/2022, we were merging onto the highway when the van powered itself off. The engine light came on. We pulled over, got the van back on, and pulled back onto highway. Almost immediately, the van shut itself off again. On 2/25/2022, on the way to the dealership, the van once again powered itself off on the highway. After arrival to the dealership, the technician said he found a loose cable connecting to the transmission and apparently fixed it. On 3/2/2022, the van shut itself off yet again in the middle of an intersection. In each of these cases, we have been risking get hit by other vehicles. Had we not been able ​to pull off the highway in time, we could have been hit full speed while our van was completely shut off in the middle of the highway. When the van shuts itself off, it takes a while to be able to power it back on. There is no warning to when it will shut off.
