Car Stall Problems of Chrysler Pacifica - part 1

I was stopped at light going straight and when the light turned green, I pressed on the gas pedal but the van wouldn't move as it had stalled out. The shift knob was stuck on drive which started blinking and the start/stop warning light came on. I turned the vehicle off and tried to restart it but it still failed to move. I tried to restart it a second time and this time it did start to move. Extremely inconvenient and unsafe when stuck in the middle of an intersection. Also have had issues with the left passenger rear door continously opening back up after trying to close it. Nothing is in the way of the door which I had confirmed multiple times so I'm not sure if something is wrong with the sensor or if it's part of the electrical system failing.

The vehicle is an electric and gas hybrid vehicle. While driving the vehicle at highway speeds, the vehicle goes completely dead. There is no power to accelerate, no power steering, reduced braking. This happened in June of 2020 and the vehicle had to be towed to the dealership. The dealership had the vehicle for approx. 3 weeks to repair and a new electrical inverter was installed. A similar event happened on 04-13-2021, however this time once the vehicle went dead and the vehicle coasted to a stop, after trying to turn the vehicle back on it was again under power. The vehicle was able to be cautiously driven to the dealership and at the time of writing this it is being services for this issue. In both the June 2020 and current situation, there was an error code stating "service charging system". In both circumstances, this has occurred at highway speeds with significant urban traffic. My wife was driving the vehicle this last time with our child in the vehicle. When this happened she was on a one lane express lane where people travel at the highest highway speeds. She was so concerned about getting struck by another vehicle she considered having both of them depart the vehicle and cross multiple lanes of traffic to get to safety. It is extremely dangerous for the people in the vehicle and for cars around the stalled vehicle. Thankfully they did not get struck.

The vehicle stalled in the middle of a city intersection. I was at a full stop at a stoplight, then when the light turned green, I proceeded forward into the intersection. After pulling into the intersection, the van stalled. I had to put the vehicle into "p" park and then restart the vehicle. Our family was in the vehicle and had a near miss with oncoming traffic.

The vehicle stalls out while actively driving it down the road on a city street. The vehicle stops mid driving, immediately shuts off, loses all power, and engages park by itself. The vehicle then fails to restart and leaves driver stranded in unsafe conditions. Happened the first time driving 40mph down a city road. Driver was almost rear ended. After 20 mins driver was able to get it started again only to have it happen half a mile down the road. Had the vehicle towed by Chrysler to the nearest dealership. They found no stored errors and said nothing was wrong. They installed a flight recorder in the vehicle and we picked it up yesterday. 10 miles away from the dealership while driving on another city road the vehicle again shut itself off while driving, had a complete loss of power, and locked itself into park mode and wouldn't restart. This time had my entire family and two young children in the car trapped in the middle on a busy intersection. Vehicle was then towed again to the same dealership and they claim the flight recorder didn't pick up anything. A claim has been opened up with fca headquarters and again no one is assisting in this issue. This is a huge safety concern and needs to be addressed.

My van on multiple occassion has stalled in the middle of city intersections. While driving my car will have an electrical meltdown. All different warning messages will appear on dash, warning dings will go off, my wipers will go on without me turning them on, when I push the gas it will not drive. On one occasion the car accelerated without pressing the gas or if the gas was pressed it would accelerate more than the pedal was being pressed. All my buttons on my dash including a/c, auto start, back up camera/sensors will not respond. Its as though my car just dies. This occurrence has no common scenario that brings on the malfunction. I 've had times when it malfunctioned weeks apart and this last occurrence it was a year in between occurrences. I was told on a Chrysler forum to check my pcm. My batteries have been tested and passed. I currently do not have my aux battery installed as I do not want/like my autostart feature. This accident occurred all 5 times with my aux battery installed. My dealership said "too many electrical parts to check" and "we cant duplicate the problem/get error code to diagnose so take the van back till it happens again and call us while its happening and drive it in". First its unsafe and unpredictable. I have tried getting this fixed and they can't even/wont fix it or buy it back. No lemon law as I am second owner, not purchased new and the problems started happening at 34000 miles right before warranty expired. This vehicle is unsafe and Chrysler won't fix it/don't know how. No remedy after 2 years and 6/7 shop visits. I have opened a case with fca twice and they threatened me to pick up vehicle or they would charge me for the rental I had. Others have experienced this. Look at Chrysler Pacifica and voyager van on facebook.

Stalls for a second during accelerating very unsafe on the road and in stop and go traffic.

This vehicle has stalled out and completely shut off while driving. No warning or anything just driving around 50mph and everything shuts off and steering locks up you cannot control the vehicle. Then the screen pops up telling you to place in park while your still traveling 50mph. This has now happend 3 times. It happens the first time in may 2019 around 48,000 miles and now 2 time on July 8 2020 at 74,000 miles. I have read several articles online that this is happening to alot of these vehicles and there has been over 50 complaints but nothing has been done yet. This is a highly dangerous vehicle to drive in. Something must be done to project families for getting injury's. Luckily this has happened to me on smaller roads and not a highway yet! this can be deadly!.

Vehicle was taken to service. Shop would not work on vehicle stating the deterioration of the subframe was to extensive and they would not work on it. Upon closer inspection showed the frame in a great state of decay, with some places only being held together with thin strips of metal. These vehicles were recalled in the past for defective frames however not all were recalled and this is one vehicle that was not. The motor in these vehicles will fall out and could cause an accident which could result in serious injury or loss of life. These frames are defective in workmanship from the factory and should be handled by the factory across all 2004-2008 Chrysler Pacifica's affected by defective equipment knowingly installed by the factory that will lead to an accident and cause serious injury or death. Thousands of these vehicles are on the road today with occupants unknowingly driving these vehicles which are "ticking time bombs".

There has been more than one occasion where my car would shift from drive to neutral or even stalls completely. There have been times where decelerates on its on and when it locks up from the parking gear while trying to shift to drive. Most recent occurrance of this was Sunday, December 22, 2019. Acceleration from a stopped position always feels like I was rear-ended everytime. I have had multiple safety recalls and the 2 times I took it back to the dealer for fixing, I reported this concern. Dealership reported finding no issue as reported. I have received of yet another recall in 2018 but have not had a chance to take it in. I fear for the safety of my children and I as this is the only vehicle I have. But these defects that dealership reports as "finding no issue" is not fair. Its a death trap. These stops, stalls, deceleration and accelerations that started in 2017 and continues thru today is presenting a severe danger hazard and I need help.

The van stalls at all different speeds. Losing all control ad having to coast off to the side of the highway because the car has completely lost power. When I am accelerating, the vehicle is jerking around 10-20 mph, almost like a violent jolt. (at times seems like someone is rear ending us) the dealership says that everything is functioning as it should be. This makes me extremely concerned for the safety of my family and my kids. This has happened numerous times. Also the sliding doors open and close on their own. My 6yo was nearly caught in one as it closed. I have video of the car stalled in a parking lot as well.

Hesitation when I turn and try to accelerate. I thought it was my gas but I'm seeing there was a recall on some 2017 for this problem. Mine has done this several times when I turn. It has only happened on the city streets while in motion. Almost like it wants to stall out then a small few small jerks and then takes off. I just bought this van in March 2019 from westgate jeff wyler. There was no recalls for this van but I'm having the same problem they recalled on other 2017 Pacifica. It's done this several times.

We have had to replace all spark plugs and all ignition coils as because the vehicle just breaks downs suddenly cause lights to come on and be flashing while shaking very violently and not shifting correctly. This is usually following the issues we have with the transmission stalling and hard shifting forward more often than usual. It is underivable in this condition and requires a tow to the shop. We are told this is normal maintenance but starting at 6,000 miles hardly seems normal. Spark plugs shouldn't even need replaced until at least 100,000 miles let alone any sort of coil.

The vehicle will stall and then hard shift from first to second gear. We initially noticed the hard shifting when we bought the vehicle but thought it might be the auto stop/start system. We didn't think much of it until it started shifting harder when we would stop or be driving. This, at times, caused issues when turning or accelerating to go through an intersection. The vehicle stalling causes a safety hazard and presents an opportunity for an accident to occur due to the delayed response of the vehicle. The cars following behind could potentially rear end the vehicle. The hard-shifting feels like someone hit you from behind and causes back and neck pain from the sudden jerking movement. This vehicle has also completely stopped when being driven causing a serious safety hazard. It started up again immediately after that incident only to not start at all a few months later. This vehicle has been nothing but trouble for us from the very beginning. We stayed optimistic that the recalls would fix the issues. They haven't. It's only a matter of time before someone is seriously injured or heaven forbid dies because of this issue. We have had 8+ service visits for this van. At one time it was completely inoperable and had to be towed to the service department. We are frustrated with Chrysler and the service department at ancira Chrysler, Jeep and Dodge in san antonio, TX.

My vehicle stalls and rolled back three times since purchasing it near the end of August. I know the engine is in idle mode during a stop or stoplight to save on emissions, but the transition from idle to restart when pressing on the gas pedal is not seamless. In fact, it is loud and has rolled back a foot when on changing from brakes to gas pedal.
