I would like to submit a formal complaint regarding the inadequate rental reimbursement being provided while a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica is undergoing recall repairs (recall no. 226 – ejection mitigation). I took my vehicle to the dealership for recall repairs on March 12, 2026. The dealership does not provide loaner or rental vehicles. Chrysler customer care representatives advised that rental reimbursement would be limited to $60 per day. However, the actual cost of obtaining transportation exceeds this amount. Even a significantly smaller compact vehicle currently costs approximately $69 per day to rent. A comparable vehicle to the Chrysler Pacifica, such as a minivan or similar family-sized vehicle, is substantially more expensive than the reimbursement amount being offered. As a result, a compact vehicle that is significantly smaller and not comparable to the Chrysler Pacifica had to be rented. This vehicle does not meet the same functional needs, comfort level, or standard of transportation normally relied upon. Additionally, the difference between the rental cost and the reimbursement limit must be paid out-of-pocket. This situation creates an unfair financial burden resulting solely from a manufacturer recall that is outside of the consumer’s control. Customer care has been contacted multiple times regarding this matter; however, no resolution or adjustment to the reimbursement limit has been offered. The current policy places additional financial strain on the consumer during the recall repair process. Assistance in reviewing this matter and encouraging a fair resolution would be greatly appreciated.

I scheduled an appointment with united Chrysler Jeep Dodge (111 85th st brooklyn, NY 11220) for 2/2/26 and was told at scheduling the recall 06c/NHTSA 25v-302 and an oil change could be completed same day. This dealership charges a $150 per day storage fee for any vehicle that stays at the dealership and I wanted to avoid this fee and pick up the vehicle on the same day the service was completed. On arrival to the dealership, I was informed the part was not in stock and would need to be ordered. The part would be unavailable until 2/4 or 2/5. I asked why the part was not ordered on scheduling and I was told this was against policy. I asked to schedule the next appointment and I was told I could not until the part arrived. The manager then said all this information was in the letter I received and it is not the schedulers job to tell the customer if the repair can be completed upon scheduling. I left the car there to have the oil change. I was then called by the manager and told they will not touch the car and we can find another dealership. I confirmed they are refusing to do the recall repair as issued by fca us and they confirmed yes. The next closest dealership is in the next state.

My Chrysler has been at the dealership for a week without getting fixed since Chrysler's diagnosticians will not communicate with the dealership.

This van has had a transmission failure that lead to it stopping while driving 60mph down a freeway, several check engine light issues that were erroneous or needed software updates and now has an open recall for side airbags that may fail and allow a child to go thru a window during g a crash. This is a hazard we do not want to risk with our children.

The vehicle was sold with a “minor accident” reported, but the condition suggests the damage may have been more significant. After purchase, I discovered the rear seatbelt did not work and required interior panels to be removed and replaced. A non-working seatbelt points to possible prior impact or structural damage affecting the restraint system. The vehicle also has an active safety recall for the side curtain airbags. The combination of a recall and a failed seatbelt raises concern that the vehicle may have been in a more severe collision than reported or repaired incorrectly. A failed seatbelt is a major safety hazard and should not be present at sale. The defect was confirmed by the dealer’s service department, and the vehicle has been in their possession since November 10, 2025. No warning lights appeared; the issue was found only when trying to use the seatbelt.

I am reporting a failure by Chrysler (fca us llc) to provide a remedy for recall 25v302 (55c) within a reasonable timeframe. The local dealer (houston, TX) has confirmed a 6-week backorder for the side curtain airbag parts. The dealer refuses to ground the vehicle or provide a loaner/rental. As this defect involves a life-safety restraint system, I do not feel safe operating the vehicle, and the manufacturer is failing their federal obligation to provide a timely repair.

Stellantis "released" recall for 2022-2025 Chrysler Pacifica vehicles. This specific VIN number involves recall 54c. I work for a dealership, stellantis has a large order restrictions on the part(s) despite having over 6k parts available in parts distribution centers ready to be shipped in the us. The parts are currently limited to dealers only being able to order 2 parts every 7 days. On top of that, the recall has been "released" but inside the recall document, it is stating that only model years 2024-2025 are available, and have not actually released it for model years 2022-2023, despite the repair procedure (and parts) being the same for all model years. They will not pay any claims to dealers on this recall for 2022-2023 vehicles. This behavior is not isolated to this recall, and happens in numerous recalls released by stellantis. For a safety recall, there should not be an order restriction to dealerships, especially if there is recall parts available in pdc's. If needed, I can provide screenshots of order restriction, and the current part supply in pdc's within the us.

On September 5, 2025 I took my vehicle to be serviced at earnhardt Dodge in gilbert az. I informed the service attendant that I believed there might be a recall on my air bags. Upon checkout I didn’t see if the recall was serviced among other things and it wasn’t listed as being completed. On [xxx] a deer struck the front of my vehicle while driving at high speeds. The air bags didn’t deploy and the air bag light illuminated after the accident. In October 1st my vehicle was taken to earnhardt collison and a diagnostic check was done on my vehicle yet the light or anything else regarding the airbags was not listed in the appraisal after I notified earnhardt and usaa that the airbag light was on after the accident. After they continued to ignore my request I demanded my car be transfered to a new body shop and it not be touched on October 3rd. On October 7th usaa finally agreed to transfer my vehicle to a new collision center but without my knowledge they conducted another appraisal which listed another pre and post diagnostics on the appraisal. When I brought this to the attention of my usaa adjuster he didn’t reply to my questions directly and instead gave a off the topic answer. The vehicle currently sits at a different body shop after approving a teardown and waiting on a new official estimate. I specifically requested any air bag light or diagnostic be noted. Information redacted pursuant to the freedom of information act (foia), 5 u. S. C. 552(b)(6).

See attached document for complaint. I am writing to you with deep concern to report a serious matter regarding the safety of a vehicle I recently purchased and to respectfully request your intervention in a case that endangers not only my safety as a consumer but also that of the passengers transported in this automobile. On xxxx x, xxxx, I purchased a 2023 Chrysler Pacifica wagon 40 touring l 3. Gl vg, VIN number [xxx] , through napleton Chrysler Jeep Dodge ram, located at 1460 e osceola pkwy, kissimmee, FL 34744. The vehicle was financed by xxxxxxxx xxxxxxx llc under loan number xxxxxxx-xxxxxxx. Prior to the purchase, the sales representative informed me that the vehicle had a recall. However, I was assured that it was a minor issue of no real consequence and that I could take it to any Chrysler dealership the following day for immediate resolution. Unfortunately, this statement turned out to be entirely false. To my shock, when I went to the dealership to address the recall, I was informed that the issue was related to the rear seat airbags and that no solution is currently available from the manufacturer. Since then, I have visited several Chrysler dealerships seeking assistance, and in every case, I was told that nothing could be done until Chrysler provides an official remedy. As a provisional measure, I requested a replacement or loaner vehicle to ensure the safety of the occupants-particularly those seated in the rear seats-but I was instructed to contact Chrysler's customer service directly. On August 25, 2025, I contacted Chrysler's customer service and spoke with a representative named xxxxx, who documented my case in detail. During that call, I also reported that the vehicle is experiencing additional operational issues, specifically with the engine and steering. On several occasions, the steering has locked up, preventing the wheel from turning and creating an even greater risk of an accident. I firmly believe that this vehicle should never have been sold or delivered in such condition, as it.

Fca us llc, has decided that certain [2022-2025 model year (ru) Chrysler Pacifica and Chrysler voyager] vehicles fail to comply with federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) no. 226 – ejection mitigation. According to these recall notices: 06c/NHTSA 25v-302 I drive my children in the car, and it is unsafe to drive them due to this air bag issue. I have asked Chrysler corporate for both a rental replacement at no cost to me until a remedy is available or to buy back the vehicle. I have called them 4 times, I have taken the car to the dealership to validate there are no other safety issues outside of the recall. They have not responded. I would like a replacement vehicle or I would like them to buy back the car.

There is a recall with NHTSA recall # 25v-302 with no known fix. This recall, which is a problem with the curtain air bags is a major safety issue. From the recall information: "curtain airbags which do not have proper pressure retention may reduce occupant protection and increase the risk of partial and complete ejection and injury of an occupant through a side window during certain types of crashes. " I drive my children in this car, and when I first learned of this recall, I asked Chrysler to provide me a replacement vehicle that was safe for my children. They refused to do this. They escalated my case to a case manager, who has not responded to my emails nor my phone calls since September 30th, 2025. The vehicle was inspected by the dealer in August, and the only issue with the car was the recall.

I received the recall notification for campaign 25v-302 regarding the curtain airbag (cab) defect, which per the manufacturer's notice may fail to retain sufficient pressure during deployment, increasing the risk of occupant ejection through a side window during a crash. The notification informed us that no parts were available at that time. Many months later we received another notification that parts were now available. Upon contacting the dealer, I was informed that parts were not available. I have been waiting for parts to become available for an extended period. Most recently, the dealer scheduled a repair appointment for Tuesday of this week. Approximately 30 minutes before the scheduled appointment, the dealer called to cancel, stating that the parts were still not available. A new appointment was scheduled for the following week. As of today, the dealer has confirmed parts are still not available. Throughout this period, I have been required to continue operating the vehicle, including with my family as passengers, with a known, unremedied ejection-mitigation defect. The manufacturer has not offered a loaner vehicle or any alternative transportation, and no firm parts availability date has been provided. Concurrent stranding failure: separately, today (23rd April), the vehicle failed to start in my driveway. Symptoms included: interior electronics (infotainment, lights) powered on, but the start button produced no response, the brake pedal would not depress (electronic brake booster inoperative), and the steering wheel remained locked. No error message was displayed. The vehicle was ultimately determined to have a dead 12v battery, the second battery failure on this vehicle, with the previous battery having been replaced under warranty by the dealer in August 2025 (only 8 months prior to this failure). The dealer has declined to investigate whether a parasitic electrical draw or other underlying defect is causing repeat battery failures.

I can't rent out the car due to a safety recall and I can't sell it either to Chrysler dealerships because they can't sell it to the public. It's been 2 month since there is not fix, they said there would be a fix by quarter 3 this year but nothing yet. I just want Chrysler to buy the car back with the same amount I purchased it for.

I have received the message "service airbag system" on my dashboard along with the airbag light being on and red in color. My vehicle is currently not being shown as being part of the recall for 2022 Chrysler Pacificas but I believe it should be. This is a safety issue and I am concerned about driving my vehicle with my children.

My son was driving the vehicle down the interstate and attempted to exit. He hit the brakes and the car would not slow down. He had the pedal all the way to the floor and the vehicle still would not slow down. The vehicle went off the exit ramp, through a grassy hill area, across the entrance ramp, and finally stopped when the tire broke off. Even with the tire broke off and the vehicle not moving the engine was showing it was going 30-40 mph. No airbags were deployed. I received a luckily the only injury was my daughter's sprained wrist. The entire front end of the vehicle has been replaced, including the frame, and yet no airbags were deployed. I did receive and abs failure alert on my app but was told that was because of the tire breaking off and not what caused the accident. I have requested the vehicle be inspected since the accident occurred. Insurance stated it would need to be repaired before an inspection could occur. I have filed a case with stellantis who now states they will not have anyone look at it because it has to be done before repairs are made and since insurance has paid for the repairs, they have to request an inspection. We had multiple issues with the tpm system not working properly and had it to a dealership for repairs, that was the only warnings we received. The vehicle is still sitting at the dealership/collision repair shop as they feel it warrants further investigation as well.

-ongoing safety recall with no available fix for rear airbags. -I do not feel comfortable using our Pacifica to transport our children when there is a known safety issue that could impact their safety and survival in an accident. -the problem has been known to Chrysler since at least may 2025. It is currently mid-September, and there is still no fix available. -I am unable to trade my vehicle in due to this recall. -courtesy Chrysler Dodge in wyoming, mi has confirmed that there is still no fix available, and they could only buy it from me for "auction pricing" - I find this unacceptable since this is a manufacturer-related problem.
