1 Car Will Not Accelerate problem of the 2017 Chrysler Pacifica

Failure Date: 03/20/2018

Purchased vehicle in August 2017 and have been experiencing problems since then. Grinding noise started to occur around 1000 miles. It would occur intermittently around surface street driving speeds. Sound appeared to come from driver side. Harder grinding noise occurred around 7000 miles intermittently, with it occurring both in cruise control and out of cruise control. Lurching forward when shifting gears also occurred around the 1000 mile mark. Was told this was "normal". But how can it be normal when the vehicle is brand new. Was told the softer grinding noise and louder grinding noise were both normal and result of power steering. However, I wasn't ever steering when the sounds occurred. Lastly, the biggest complaint is that the car stalled twice around 13,000 miles. Both times at the stop-light (thank god) and accelerating. First time the entire electrical component shut off. Placed the car into park and pushed the "start" button again. The second time the car would not accelerated, instead lurched forward as if we were being rear-ended, made a loud clunk noise and just stopped. Both times no accidents occurred thank god. Regardless, the safety of my family should not at this much risk when we purposely bought a brand new vehicle with all safety features.
