Potential Consequences:
MY 2017 PACIFICA HAS HAD MANY ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE WINDOWS, SUNROOF, SLIDING DOORS, NAVIGATION, ELECTRONIC SCREEN, AND REAR HATCH WHICH HAVE BEEN REPAIRED EXCEPT FOR THE PASSENGER WINDOW & SUNROOF. BUT THE PROBLEM THAT I HAVE TOLD THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT REPEATEDLY AND THEY SAY THEY CAN NEVER RECREATE IS THAT THE CAR DOESN'T ACCELERATE OFTEN TIMES UNTIL AFTER THE CAR GLIDES INTO THE INTERSECTION, AND WHEN IT DOES IT LURCHES FORWARD. I DRIVE CAUTIOUSLY BECAUSE I KNOW I AM AT RISK OF GETTING HIT IF THE ENGINE DOESN'T KICK IN THE NEXT TIME I TURN IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC! THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
SINCE PURCHASING OUR PACIFICA, WE HAVE HAD NOTHING BUT ISSUES THAT SEEM TO NOT BE GETTING RESOLVED WITH CHRYSLER BESIDES CONTINUOUSLY IN THE SHOP. WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BRAND NEW SO WE WOULD NOT HAVE THE HASSLE OF AN UNRELIABLE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE HAS LEFT US STRANDED WITH LESS THAN 30,000 MILES ON IT. WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE INTERSTATE, THE BACK HATCH CAME OPEN. AFTER PULLING OVER TO FIX THIS, AS I HAD KIDS IN THE CAR, THE VEHICLE KEPT OPENING. THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND FIXED THE ISSUE.CHRYSLER WAS VERY DIFFICULT TO WORK WITH THROUGH THE FIRST ISSUE. THE CASE MANAGER SAID THAT I WAS EXAGGERATED OVER THE ISSUES.WE THEN HAD THE AUTOMATIC START/STOP GO OUT, THIS CAUSED OUR DISPLAY SCREEN TO FREEZE UP AS WELL TO WHERE WE COULD NOT USE OUR CONTROLS. AT THIS TIME WE AGAIN BEGIN EXPERIENCING ISSUES WITH THE BACK HATCH AGAIN. UPON CONTACTING CHRYSLER A NEW CASE NUMBER WAS GIVEN AND WE WERE ONCE AGAIN SENT TO THE DEALERSHIP. SHORTLY AFTER BEING IN THE SHOP, I DROPPED MY CHILD OFF AT SOCCER PRACTICE. WHEN I RETURNED TO MY VEHICLE THE WHOLE SYSTEM SHUT DOWN AND DOORS OPENED AND WOULD NOT CLOSE ALL ELECTRICAL WAS SHUT DOWN. THE VEHICLE HAD TO BE TOWED AND WAS IN SERVICE DEPARTMENT FOR A WEEK. WE WERE LEFT WITH ONE VEHICLE TRYING TO HAUL OUR 5 CHILDREN AROUND WITH WORK AS WELL. RECENTLY THE 9-1-1 IS STUCK ON AND FREEZES THE DISPLAY SCREEN, ALONG WITH THE DRIVER PASSENGER SLIDING DOOR OPENING WITHOUT COMMAND OF THE BUTTON. THE VEHICLE IS SCHEDULED TO BE SERVICED....AGAIN. THIS HAS BEEN AN ONGOING ISSUE TO THE POINT WE DO NOT FEEL SAFE HAULING OUR FAMILY BUT FINANCIALLY ARE UNABLE TO TRADE IN, LEAVING US STUCK WITH A HEFTY CAR PAYMENT AND UNRELIABLE VEHICLE. WE WOULD NOT FEEL COMFORTABLE TRADING THIS CAR IN FOR ANOTHER FAMILY AS WELL.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
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.

I PURCHASED A 2017 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN OCTOBER 2016 AND IT HAS GIVEN ME NOTHING BUT PROBLEMS EVER SINCE THEN. WITHIN THE FIRST YEAR I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP MULTIPLE TIME FOR A WIDE RANGE OF ISSUES 1. THE MAIN ISSUE WAS A HESITATION IN ACCELERATION (THIS PROBLEM IS ONGOING) EACH TIME WE TOOK IT IN THEY SAID THAT BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM THEY COULDN'T DIAGNOSE IT, BUT WHEN WE GOT IT HOME THE PROBLEM ALWAYS CAME BACK. IT JUST CONTINUED TO GET WORSE, THE WARRANTY WE PURCHASED RAN OUT AND THE VEHICLE ENDED UP GETTING TOWED MULTIPLE TIMES FOR REPAIRS FOR THE FUEL SYSTEM AT ANOTHER DEALERSHIP (BECAUSE I LOST CONFIDENCE IN THE DEALERSHIP OF PURCHASE). THE FUEL SYSTEM PROBLEM IS DANGEROUS BECAUSE IT STALLS, STOPS, AND SHUTS OFF IN TRAFFIC. 2.THE PASSENGER (RIGHT-REAR) TURN SIGNAL AND REVERSE LIGHT (RIGHT) WIRING HAD TO BE REPAIRED AND IS NOW OUT AGAIN ALSO VERY DANGEROUS WHEN PEOPLE DON'T KNOW YOU'RE TURNING RIGHT, WE'VE ALMOST BEEN REAR-ENDED SEVERAL TIMES DUE TO NOT HAVING A WORKING REAR SIGNAL. 3.THE LIFT GATE STOPPED WORKING 4.THE ENGINE SOUNDS ROUGH LIKE ITS READY TO SHUT OFF. MOST OF THESE ISSUES WERE REPORTED AND/OR REPAIRED WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS STILL UNDER WARRANTY. NOW THAT THE WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED ALL OF THE COST ARE MY RESPONSIBILITY. A LOANER CAR IS NO LONGER AN OPTION SO I HAVE TO PAY FOR RENTALS OR MISS WORK. COPIES OF THE MANY ROADSIDE CALLS AND TOWS ATTACHED.
