Turning on your air conditioner to maximum often may cause bacteria growth due to the excess water that is dripping in your unitis true that in high humidity environments that mold can build on evaporator coils and cause an odor, especially if the van sits for a couple of days between drives. I make it a practice of turning off the a/c the last few blocks on the way home to blow some warm air through there to dry it out a little in the summer. Nonetheless, it is also possible that you have a different problem, especially if one of the smells you detected was "vinegar. " I wonder if maybe a small animal/rodent found their way into your system and got stuck and has since expired? if the smell is only there when you first turn it on and then dissipates, then that seems a lot like a common mold growth scenario. If it persists, it is possible that you have a bigger issue.
We have had multiple problems with this van and it's only two years old and when I say multiple it's seven and now eight with the air conditioner blowing hot air. This seems to be a problem with this van from my reading. Now I have been a loyal Chrysler owner and Dodge pickup owner since 1990 but this kind of makes me want to switch to another make.

I had a problem with the electronic injection for more than 3 times, and a piece that was solved was replaced. A short time later, on my alternator, it had to be changed. Now I'm having trouble with my air conditioner, which freezes and stops to freeze suddenly. Probably an electrical problem or some part that does not start and does not start the compressor.
We have had a few continuing problems since the original purchase of a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica braunability van. The car has had electrical issues and on 3 or 4 occasions has suddenly shut off or stopped working. One time may have been related to a car accident my husband was in. He collided with another car in 2018, immediately after the accident the car was not running, but he hadn't turned it off. It started back up again but this happened 2 or 3 times this year with different electrical features not working making the car inoperable at times. In addition, the air conditioning system has continuously been dysfunctional. We have had it to the dealership a few times for this problem. Most recently it was fixed a couple months ago and it is again not working.
