Tl the contact owns a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving 65 mph, the steering seized and the power steering assist warning indicator illuminated. The contact managed to veer into a parking lot.

Power will be loss including radio frequently. When driving at low speeds such as in traffic the engine will stall and jerk.
Multiple engine stalls when slowing to turn or stop, at least 9 times. The engine dies, you have to come to a complete stop to be able to restart the engine. This has happened while turning, while coming to a stop sign or stop light and just while slowing down. One instance of the brakes and steering locking up as I tried to stop at a red light. I was not able to stop and ran through the red light. I had no steering or brakes. When I did come to a stop, I tried to back up to get out of the middle the road and the gear shift was also locked up. The van has a been in for service 5 times and 49 days so far and currently has been at the dealership service department since June 11. Took van in 6/5/2019 to comply with recall v53 and on 6/11/2019 the engine stalled again. I have documents I wanted to upload but they exceeded the 5mb limit. Also in the "affected parts" section I wanted to select "brakes" in addition to the steering, engine and electrical but I was not able to add another selection.
Engine randomly stalls. We've had this vehicle for approximately 8 months and it has randomly stalled more than 10 times regardless of the scenario (driving, stopped at a light, parked). The latest incident being today, 3/4/19. This is a serious safety concern based on it happening while driving with our children in the vehicle.
Automatic restart feature stalls the car after the feature turns off engine and driver tries to drive again. If car has not been running for a long time, then at first stop (stop sign or stop light) the automatic restart feature will turn off the engine as expected but when driver tries to drive again, the engine stalls. Driver forced to put car into park and use start/stop button to completely restart the engine. This is a dangerous issue as the car stalls completely and puts driver at risk of getting rear-ended since car will not move when light turns green. There is no way to permanently disable this automatic restart feature, so driver must remember to do it manually by pushing a dash button with a on it. . . . . Else the car will stall at first stop.
Engine turned off/stalled without warning while in drive going about 35 mph on a highway exit ramp. Chimes started bonging and 'd' on dashboard started blinking. I was able to brake to a stop. Msg appeared to put car in park to restart. Car restarted immediately. This problem sounds similar to 2018 recall u87 for engine stalling, but my VIN is not covered in recall. Also, note the 2017 recall u01 for engine stalling. Some consumers noted in their complaints that the "fix" did not work. This is very troubling!! obviously two consecutive year recalls for engine stalling does not inspire confidence that the problem has been adequately addressed. I do not feel safe in this car. .

While stopped at a stop sign the vehicle's auto stop/start function disabled the engine as normal. When I lifted my foot off the brake to engage engine the car stalled and "service auto start/stop" displayed on screen. Then the screen indicated to put the vehicle in park. After I put the vehicle in park I restarted the vehicle and operated normally. Vehicle was purchased new and has 1,200 miles on it. I will be taking the vehicle to my dealer for assessment.
Engine stalled during the stop/start function while idling at stoplights, and vehicle has to be restarted. Dashboard shows a quick message about electronic stability control, engine completely stalls out, and then shows a message to put vehicle in park and to restart the vehicle. Vehicle has 5,300 miles. This occurred on the Chrysler dealership *loaner vehicle* (a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica) while dealership is trying to troubleshoot same problem on owner's 2018 Chrysler Pacifica. Returned loaner vehicle to dealer for a different car.
2018 Chrysler Pacifica purchased new. When the stop/start function is activated, the engine will completely shut off while idling at stoplights or stop signs, and Pacifica has to be shifted into park and restarted. (this happens intermittently and occurs going straight on the roadway and turning left or right. ) chimes sound and dashboard display flashes a message about electronic stability control, engine completely stalls out, and then shows a message to put vehicle in park and to restart the vehicle. Started occurring around 11k miles and has happened 8 times to date. Several visits to the Chrysler dealership include: first visit was a software update and that didn't fix the issue. Second visit was to replace both batteries as both reportedly failed their tests, and that didn't fix it. Opened a Chrysler care case after 7th engine stalling incident. Third visit was to add a data recorder. Captured data on 8th stalling incident. Chrysler is unwilling to report what info was learned from the data recorder and whether root issue has been identified. Fourth visit to Chrysler dealership after data recording capture included replacing the crankshaft position sensor, and Chrysler believes that will fix the issue. Customer now has vehicle for driving (and further road testing).
