There is also air noise when pushing down on the brake pedal.

Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Our 2017 Chrysler Pacifica was stopped in traffic on Clinton River Road, Sterling Heights Michigan. When we engaged the gas pedal the vehicle would not start. The vehicle has the engine stop/start feature. By that we mean when the vehicle stops the engine stops and restarts when the gas pedal is depressed. Because we were blocking traffic, the police called for a tow truck which costs us $100. The dealer diagnosed the problem to be the starter with an estimate of $750, Because we had purchased the MOPAR extended warranty our cost was $200. The dealer also informed us that there is no way to permanently disable the stop/start feature. We believe this feature is a safety issue because we never now when the vehicle will not start after stopping and could cause a major traffic jam as it for us. Also, without the extended warranty the total cost would have exceeded $800. Thank you

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
We’ve written the NHTSA in the past and have not received a response. We understand Covid was a problem that messed a lot of things up and we’ve been patient until now and we’re writing again hoping for a long awaited response. We purchased new (on 03/10/17) a 2017 Chrysler Pacifica with the factory installed tow package, which Dealer and Chrysler Corp claimed it could tow 3600 pounds, so we can purchase and tow a 3500 pound RV but since the van purchase we have learned that we need trailer brakes on any trailer weighing more than 2500 pounds so the van and trailer could stop safely. After much investigation and many calls with our Dealer, Chrysler Corporation and many RV Dealers, it turns out the 2017 model year that Chrysler Corporation claimed it could tow up to 3600 pounds, can not In fact safely tow over 2500 pounds without a brake controller/trailer brakes and our van, which was purchased with the factory tow package, was not designed or wired to accommodate the necessary brake controller to tow over 2500 pounds and it can not be retrofitted with a necessary brake controller. The Dealer advised taking the matter up with Chrysler Corporation and Chrysler advised taking the matter up with the Dealer, and neither will resolve the safety issue. Can you please tell us if this is a safety issue or if in your opinion we can safely tow a 3500 pound RV without a brake controller and trailer brakes or do you recommend we seek legal counsel. Thanks very much for your time and expertise in this serious matter. Anxiously awaiting your response.

Potential Consequences:
THIS VEHICLE IS A HANDICAP CONVERSION VAN MODIFIED BY REVABILITY / VMI IN THE MODIFICATION - REVABILITY HAS REPLACED THE FACTORY FUEL TANK WITH ONE OF THEIR OWN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. IN DOING SO - THEY USE THE CHRYSLER FACTORY COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE FUEL PUMP, FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT, EMISSIONS CONNECTIONS, ETC. HOWEVER - THE FUEL GAUGE HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VAN AND IT GIVES MISLEADING INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUEL LEVEL. IT REGISTERS ONLY 3/4 FULL ON THE DASH WHEN IN FACT THE TANK IS FULL. IF YOU TRY TO ADD ANY MORE FUEL (AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VAN) - IT AFFECTS THE EMISSIONS CONTROLS SEVERELY AND MAKES THE VAN UN-DRIVABLE; IN FACT THE ENGINE WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY IN TRAFFIC WHICH IS A SEVERE HAZARD. FURTHER - THE LOW TANK LEVEL IS UNPREDICTABLE SO YOU ARE NEVER SURE WHEN TO REFILL, IF THE FUEL GETS TOO LOW THEN THE ENGINE CAN ALSO STOP IN TRAFFIC. THE COMPANY IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT CANNOT FIX IT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE ORIGINAL SELLING DEALERSHIP (JAY HATFIELD MOBILITY IN LEE'S SUMMIT MISSOURI) SEVERAL TIMES AS REVABILITY SAID THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER THEIR MANUFACTURES WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAS SINCE NOT RENEWED THEIR CONTRACT WITH REVABILITY. SO THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THE POWERTRAIN 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY - WHICH JAY HATFIELD MOBILITY SAID THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH AND WOULD NOT DO ANY FURTHER REPAIRS. MY WIFE IS HANDICAPPED AND IN DAILY REHAB TREATMENT - SO I NEED THIS VAN EVERY DAY AND NEED IT FIXED PROPERLY - HOWEVER THE VAN CONVERSION MANUFACTURER HAS NO INSTRUCTIONS OR INFORMATION THAT THEY CAN SUPPLY FOR A CORRECT REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT REVABILITY / VMI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM PROPERLY OR REPLACING THIS VAN AS IT IS / CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD TO OPERATE WITHOUT A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE.

THIS VEHICLE IS A HANDICAP CONVERSION VAN MODIFIED BY REVABILITY / VMI IN THE MODIFICATION - REVABILITY HAS REPLACED THE FACTORY FUEL TANK WITH ONE OF THEIR OWN DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION. IN DOING SO - THEY USE THE CHRYSLER FACTORY COMPONENTS SUCH AS THE FUEL PUMP, FUEL GAUGE SENDER UNIT, EMISSIONS CONNECTIONS, ETC. HOWEVER - THE FUEL GAUGE HAS NEVER WORKED PROPERLY SINCE I PURCHASED THE VAN AND IT GIVES MISLEADING INFORMATION ABOUT THE FUEL LEVEL. IT REGISTERS ONLY 3/4 FULL ON THE DASH WHEN IN FACT THE TANK IS FULL. IF YOU TRY TO ADD ANY MORE FUEL (AS I FOUND OUT WHEN I FIRST PURCHASED THE VAN) - IT AFFECTS THE EMISSIONS CONTROLS SEVERELY AND MAKES THE VAN UN-DRIVABLE; IN FACT THE ENGINE WILL STALL UNEXPECTEDLY IN TRAFFIC WHICH IS A SEVERE HAZARD. FURTHER - THE LOW TANK LEVEL IS UNPREDICTABLE SO YOU ARE NEVER SURE WHEN TO REFILL, IF THE FUEL GETS TOO LOW THEN THE ENGINE CAN ALSO STOP IN TRAFFIC. THE COMPANY IS WELL AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT CANNOT FIX IT. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE ORIGINAL SELLING DEALERSHIP (JAY HATFIELD MOBILITY IN LEE'S SUMMIT MISSOURI) SEVERAL TIMES AS REVABILITY SAID THE REPAIRS WERE COVERED UNDER THEIR MANUFACTURES WARRANTY. THE DEALERSHIP HAS BEEN UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND HAS SINCE NOT RENEWED THEIR CONTRACT WITH REVABILITY. SO THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTS AND THE POWERTRAIN 'CHECK ENGINE' LIGHT COMES ON PERIODICALLY - WHICH JAY HATFIELD MOBILITY SAID THEY HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH AND WOULD NOT DO ANY FURTHER REPAIRS. MY WIFE IS HANDICAPPED AND IN DAILY REHAB TREATMENT - SO I NEED THIS VAN EVERY DAY AND NEED IT FIXED PROPERLY - HOWEVER THE VAN CONVERSION MANUFACTURER HAS NO INSTRUCTIONS OR INFORMATION THAT THEY CAN SUPPLY FOR A CORRECT REPAIR. I BELIEVE THAT REVABILITY / VMI SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR FIXING THIS PROBLEM PROPERLY OR REPLACING THIS VAN AS IT IS / CAN BE A SAFETY HAZARD TO OPERATE WITHOUT A PROPERLY FUNCTIONING FUEL GAUGE.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
WHEN IN MOTION, USUALLY FROM FIRST GEAR SHIFTING TO SECOND GEAR, THE TRANSMISSION WILL JOLT OR BANG, AT WHICH POINT I HAVE TO LET OFF THE GAS PEDDLE TO ALLOW IT TO LET'S SAY, CATCH UP, ON THE SHIFT. IT CLUNKS FAIRLY HARD, NOT SURE WHY CHRYSLER HAS NOT RECALLED FOR THIS ISSUE. WE HAVE ALSO HAD ISSUES WHEN WE GO OVER THE TOP OF A HILL WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ON AND START GO DOWN THE HILL AND THE VEHICLE WILL PICK UP SPEED AND THE TRANSMISSION WILL DOWNSHIFT AND THE ENGINE RPM WILL SPIKE UP TO 3000-4000 RPM. AS I KNOW THIS IS GOING TO HAPPEN, I DO SHUT THE CRUISE OFF WHEN THIS HAPPENS AND IT WILL SETTLE BACK TO NORMAL OPERATION. WE HAVE HAD IT TO OUR CHRYSLER DEALER FOR THE TRANSMISSION ISSUE WITH THE CLUNKING AND THEY JUST SHRUGGED IT OFF AND DO NOTHING AT ALL. I CANNOT PUT A DATE ON THE ACTUAL OCCURRENCES BECAUSE IT IS ONGOING AND STILL DOES IT AT RANDOM AT TIMES. ALSO, I CANNOT REALLY GIVE ACTUALLY DATES AND MILEAGE AS TO WHEN THIS HAPPENS AS IT IS RANDOM.
