Defect Description:
STEERING
Potential Consequences:
The Start/Stop system has gone out twice. Once the indicator light came on, the vehicle then will stop working.. sometimes in the middle of a road or while driving. We’ve taken it to our dealer twice, replaced the batteries (twice). I am truly concerned for my family’s safety as it feels like we can’t control the car when it malfunctions. This issue is ongoing, first repair was made July 2022 at Arrigo Chrysler in Ft. Pierce, Florida. Next same place in August.

Potential Consequences:
Please read! This is the 10th occurrence of this issue, and second time posting here as a safety issue. I hope no one else experiences this.The issue still cant be diagnosed, so trying for another time. Last time they had the Pacifica for over 7 weeks! As per previous complaint on Jan 6, 2023 with our 2 year old twin toddlers with us in the vehicle again, the vehicle is still having the same safety issue. I dont feel safe any longer driving my Pacifica. I called the customer care line and was told nothing can be done without a diagnosis. It will be dropped off, but no appt avail for a month. You cant replicate this. No one should have to experience it. **We were driving on the freeway at 55 mph. After 30 min on the freeway at 55-60 mph, the Pacifica all of a sudden states car is not in park, (as it did the previous 9 times) The van will not accelerate, because of the warning saying car is not in park, and Hazard lights wouldn't activate. The car behind me was honking, almost hit me and the car behind them and so on. The Pacifica continued to just glide on the road in the drive position with the same warning over and over car is not in park. We slowed down enough we pressed the brake and put it in park, STILL IN THE LANE ON THE BUSY FREEWAY! With brake depressed, We tried to get the alert to shut off by having the van in park so we can restart it. But the van wont restart as it still says car is not in park, but yet it really is in park. as an FYI, The auto start stop was shut off at start up. We Got the car shut completely off (while still in the lane on the freeway with cars honking away.) and were finally able to get the van to restart, the alerts to go away and off to the side of the freeway and to the exit. Can you imagine how terrifying this is!!! YOU CANT PREDICT WHEN IT WILL HAPPEN! Either you choose drive it and take the risk of your safety or pay for rental to ensure you are safe !! When it is a safety problem, it should be taken more seriously!

SERVICE BRAKES
Potential Consequences:
Multiple issues. First the ESS system has malfunctioned twice since purchase in 2019, required maintenance and aux battery replacement twice within 1 year. The major issue is the breaks/rotors/suspension. For the last year and a half I have been taking the van in for inspections... initially stated I did not need brakes/rotors at the dealership even though I was having slight squeaking and grinding, after bring it back a third time I was told oh yea you need them and its gonna cost $1,800. I then got a second opinion, they said the brakes and pads looked fine but if I wanted they would replace the pads in an attempt to make the squeaking stop. the squeaking stopped for about 10 days but the grinding and "metal rubbing" sound never has, they replaced the pads 3 more times. They stated it is not the brakes/rotors but fail to give a reason. He mentioned it is a body suspension issue, which I have been asking about for over a year. Very frustrating. Also my sliding van doors keep malfunctioning to work sometimes, or require manual opening and closing with no apparent reason. So disappointed with less then 60,000 miles

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
The entire dash board lit up with all warning lights turning on. I couldn't go faster than 15. I coasted into a parking spot. I tried to put it in park but it said shifter unavailable. I set the emergency brake and called for a ride. Went back later and it started and the only light that was on was check engine. After that happened we got a service shifter message. When you start it and get a service shifter message, you cannot shift. The shifter doesn't even light up. It started as an occasional problem. My safety is at risk when I try to drive it and it won't shift. I am stuck wherever I am. That is a huge problem during the cold winter months. It is also a safety concern that it went into limp mode. Luckily when it happened, it was early in the morning and not a lot of people were out. If it happens on the highway that is going to be a huge safety problem. It has been to the dealer twice. The first time we replaced the shifter. The mechanic said we must have spilled soda on the shifter because it was sticky. We did not spill soda on the shifter, the shifter is in the dash. We replaced it anyways and picked it up. The very next morning got the same service shifter message. Took it back to the dealer. They had us pick it up because it wasn't a big enough problem. Getting stuck somewhere and not being able to shift seems like a pretty big problem to me. I can't take my children anywhere in this van for fear of going out and being stuck wherever we went because I can't shift.

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
After spending the better part of the week dealing with endlessly rebooting Uconnect infotainment systems, Fiat Chrysler customers across the Northeast are finally seeing their cars mostly return to normal. A majority of the customers who spoke to The Verge earlier this week about their malfunctioning vehicles have reported back that the maddening reboot loop has stopped. According to numerous exchanges with the Uconnect customer support account on Twitter, other customers are seeing the same thing. For some it’s come too late, as the constant rebooting has drained their vehicles’ batteries completely. The problem began over the weekend after an over-the-air update apparently went out to certain 2017 and 2018 model year cars. After that, something went wrong with SiriusXM’s Travel Link feature. Travel Link surfaces local news, weather, and other alerts in real time, and for some reason — it’s still not clear exactly what, since FCA is being vague about the specifics, and SiriusXM has not responded to multiple requests for comment — it started causing vehicles with 8.4-inch screen Uconnect 4C NAV systems to start rebooting every 45 to 60 seconds. Based on reports from customers who spoke to The Verge, as well ones posted to Twitter, it appears that either FCA or SiriusXM started sending out a “signal” that disables SiriusXM Travel Link sometime Wednesday afternoon. Those who have received the signal have reported that their vehicles are finally free of the reboot cycle. Those who haven’t are being advised by the Uconnect support account to turn their vehicle off, turn it back on again in an “open space where it will receive a solid satellite signal,” and leave it running for at least 15 to 20 minutes. There Are lawsuits and FCA has not fixed this problem. GPS and all other systems will not work properly. There needs to be a recall on these cars 2017-2019!

The Blind Spot Alert does not work, the Power Sliding Doors do not work, the Windows will not operate, the Heat go to 76 degrees and will not turn off, the Info Center goes black, the Back Up Camera will not work, the Navigation system stops working, the Audio stops working, the Audio/Bluetooth will not work, the Panel Lights come on but do not work. We were on a trip when the Uconnect system malfunctioned and all the above happened. The temp outside was about 75 degrees and the heat came on and the windows would not work. My wife's foot got so severely burned it needed medical attention and is still dealing with this 3 months later. The vehicle became an oven. With the power sliding doors being inop my wife is either a prisoner in her own vehicle or she cannot enter the vehicle at all. With her limited mobility and the backup camera inop it makes it unsafe for to back the vehicle up safely. If we are not familiar with an area we are going to it makes it that much more difficult to find our destination without the Navigation system working.
