Blind Spot Detection problems of the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica

Chrysler performed the 73b recall and n my van in August of 2025. Ever since performing this recall the van has a continuous stream of check engine lights and error codes. The van has been at the dealership at least 6 times for well over 100 days. The check engine lights and error codes always return. The hybrid battery recently had a failure code, and was replaced. I didn't even make it home before I got a check engine light and error codes. The dealership cleared the check engine light and sent me on my way. The codes returned and the van is back at the dealership. The codes I have been getting are : service hybrid system, parking brake temporarily unavailable, service electronic throttle control, service shifter( I was not able to drive as it wouldn't go into gear), service electronic stability control, blind spot alert, and service airbag system. On the longest service visit (over 80 days), Chrysler ended up just telling the dealership to erase the stored codes and return the van to me. They test drive it 50 miles. The error codes returned. They currently have the van again for the same reason.

Odometer 66466. Hybrid battery charge level 100%. When starting the vehicle the issue started with the transmission shifter knob stuck in gear park. After turning off and on a few times, the transmission shifter knob would shift into reverse. I then drove it to a dealer service for repair. During the drive several dash warning messages appeared. Also, the blind spot warning system did not function and the backup camera did not function. Dash warning messages while driving to dealer service: parking brake, tps, service electronic stability control, engine, red wrench, amber throttle, brake, service electronic throttle control, service hybrid electric vehicle system. Stability control, blind spot alert, arrived at dealer, kept engine on, brought service tech rep to vehicle and demonstrated the issue while in service bay. Mileage 66474. Last message I saw, service hybrid electric vehicle system. Friday, April 10 2026. The vehicle was in the shop for service hybrid electric vehicle system just 750 miles previous to this system failure. Dealer is unable to fix problem. Hybrid system still under warranty. Hybrid battery replaced last year, 12 volt battery replaced twice after. Vehicle is beyond unreliable, there is significant risk of failure at any time.

Hello: my 2018 Pacifica hybrid was just recalled, and serviced, yet the hybrid battery only last a few miles before needing to be recharged. Also, when in reverse the back up camera doesn’t always come on and doesn’t beep when approaching an obstacle. It will also stay on while driving forward.

Minor front end collision resulted in the vehicle bursting into flames. Completely engulfed and a total loss. The other vehicle drove away after the accident.
