1 Paint problem

Failure Date: 08/05/2019

Transmissions jerks hard when you go from a low speed to a higher speed. Plus it won't respnd when you press on the gas. Tried crossing an intersection and got stuck in the middle for a few seconds with cara coming at me because it would not go. Was pressing on the gas but no response. Now the paint is al bubbling up around the edge of my hood. The transmission issues has been going on since I got the car. Chrysler will do nothing. The paint started a couple months ago.

2 Paint problem

Failure Date: 07/01/2019

First, the two batteries in the vehicles are failing prematurely. Ours just failed about a week after the start/stop system light activated on dash. Our van was parked for 7 days at an airport and upon returning from vacation the batteries were dead and unable to be recharged. Ironically, my sister-in law in California whom we were visiting, had the exact same problem with theirs while we were there. Again, a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica. My research shows this is a reoccurring issue all across the country according to google research and carcomplaints. Com. Some people are having their van die or stall while in motion. Second, there is a problem with the paint bubbling up around the hood edges. Again, my research on google and carcomplaints. Com reveals many are suffering this bubbling paint issue. Last, the transmission has an extremely hard shift intermittently between 10 to 15 mph. So hard in fact, it feels as if you have been rear ended. Again, research on google and carcomplaints,com and Pacifica forums, indicate this is not an isolated issue. Many are experiencing this issue.

3 Paint problem

I've only had this Chrysler Pacifica limited for 3 months, before buying I didn't see that the hood was rusting underneath the paint. The paint is bubbling up at the end of the hood. Is this happening with other Pacificas?.

4 Paint problem

Failure Date: 05/03/2019

Vehicle "jerks" when automatically shifting. This happens at slow speeds, while in motion, on city streets. Has been taken to dealer, and was told nothing could be done unless the "check engine" light was on. Passenger side sliding door will retract as if something is blocking its track when there is nothing there. Paint is bubbling on the hood.

5 Paint problem

Paint bubbles forming on edges of hood.
