37 Car Stall problem of the 2018 Chrysler Pacifica

Failure Date: 04/01/2019

We bought the car as a certified used car from a dealership in February, 2019. The car is a 2018, and had 22,000 miles at time of purchase. The car first stalled in late March, 2019. It stalled while at a red light, and cars had to be directed around the car. My child was in the car with me at the time. An error message appeared with something regarding the stability control. Since that first time, the car has stalled at a light 2 more times. We are bringing the car back to the dealer for service. When we called to let the dealer know the issue, they said they've never heard of this happening. I find that hard to believe with so many similar complaints. I am very concerned that this is a known issue that is not being addressed.

45 Car Stall problem of the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

Failure Date: 02/03/2019

Our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica has been jerking into gear and won't accelerate and then after a few moments, it does. The jerking feels as if someone just hit you from behind and you stall before being able to accelerate. This always happened while in motion flat road, incline, or down hill. When we called the dealership and took it in and informed them of the issue, they said they didn't see a problem. Now, we have an unknown message that says "service shifter". This came after the van was sitting and we got in to start the vehicle. It wouldn't start. Had to wait for a tow. The power windows, doors, hatch won't work but the radio and communications systems work fine.

The start/stop fuel economy system does not work. I have taken it to the shop 3 times to get this repaired. Once to have them identify the problem, then order replacement battery. Twice a new battery has been installed and the system still does not work. I have approximately 3000 miles on this vehicle and it has never worked after the initial test drive. The dash board gives various reasons why it can't work but none of these conditions or situations but none seem related to actual, current operation of the car: engine is not warmed up or the steering wheel turned to sharply.

The vehicle turned off and was unable to start and had to be towed back to the dealership. I hit a curb and if I was not an experienced driver I could have killed someone or myself or my 3 children could have been harmed if they were in the vehicle. I have provided a video of the incident on my youtube and the documentation from what the dealership said they performed on the vehicle. This car needs to be recalled and off of the road. Please save lives because this was very scary and I fear getting back into the vehicle if they fix it. I do not want it back. I want safety for my children and myself. I am a social worker and I drive my vehicle to clients homes and I cannot do my job in fear that I might loose my life. . Read more...

I owned Chrysler Pacifica van 2017 for about a year now, it is keeps stalling while driving, so far it had happened to me 6 times, it is very scary, I don't feel safe. Imagine you are crossing the intersection and your car stalls in the middle of two way traffic! I took it to the local dealer where I bought it and they haven't been able to figure it out. All recalls were done. They know I keep having this issue with my van because every visit for service I keep telling them about it and I get ignored, they don't even make any notes in my file and every time I talk about it with the service man he pretends like it is the first time he hears about it. I do not know what else to do and I do know I'm not the only one who's van stalls, it is a safety issue that needs to be resolved by Chrysler.
