Defect Description:
ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
I was driving this vehicle, a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid this evening, July 7th. The battery was operating on a charge of 1% and the gas tank was 1/3 full. I charged the battery earlier this morning but only for several minutes. This is a rental vehicle I have used for the last week with no problems. Vehicle was idle for about 3 hours prior to this incident. After starting the car at about 8:30 pm, I drove no more than several miles and received a warning that I needed to pull over “immediately” and that a vehicle shutdown was “imminent.” I did so and turned off the vehicle. I turned it on again and the “Check engine” light was on but the notice I received earlier was gone. I was able to drive the rest of the way home which was about 10 miles. I searched the vehicle and VIN later and determined this vehicle was under NHTSA Recall # 23V-010 which had been completed. I am reporting this defect because it seems to be similar to the recall shown as completed on the vehicle in January 2023.

Defect Description:
POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
The vehicle had a safety recall performed on 3/28/23. The safety recall was to fix the problem of the vehicle shutting off while driving. On 4/23/23 while travelling on the highway at 70 the vehicle went into limp mode and started coasting. I had to drift to the side of the road. I was able to restart the vehicle after waiting 2 minutes. The same thing happened while traveling 70 mph on the highway in 6/16/23. It happened again on 6/18/23 while traveling at 55 mph on a country road. There was no shoulder so had to stop in the road. My families safety was put at risk because there was no warning the engine just stops and the car coasts to a stop. The vehicle has not been inspected by Chrysler.

Potential Consequences:
The vehicle lost power and was not accelerating when pressing on gas pedal. The engine light came on but came off 4 days later. Took to the dealership. The engine light was no longer on. Dealer informed me of the recall and said it will take 2 to 3 days to fix. After 6 days the dealership has contacted me and said it'll be another 2 to 2.5 weeks as software update triggered a need to replace a module.

ENGINE
Potential Consequences:
Van engine suddenly turned off while I was driving on a local highway on April 3, 2023. Six people were in the car. I was able to stop at a turning lane before an intersection, turned off the engine and after re-starting it worked again. I brought the car to the dealership and was told that there is a 03A recall that will fix the problem. It took 3 week to get an appointment to perform the recall fix. I was told not to drive the car during that time. - On April 20th, I brought the car to dealership for the recall fix. It took only 3 hours and I got my car back. - On April 22nd, I took my family to Torrance area. On the way home, while driving on the HOV lane of I-405 North, my van suddenly slowed down from 70mph - 40mph and continued to cruise at around 40mph. Even when I hit the accelerator, it wouldn't go pass 40mph. Engine light turned ON and a message popped up saying 'Vehicle will shut off soon, stop safely'. But I couldn't stop safely on a super-heavy-traffic freeway where everyone drove 70+mph. So I parked on the narrow shoulder on HOV lane, with cars zooming by. I turned off the engine, re-started it but the condition stayed the same. I turned it off again, this time waited 5 min before starting the engine and it finally turned back to normal. I am too scared to drive my newly bought van now. It is a family van, so my whole family always ride in the van with me. We are in Los Angeles traffic where people drive very fast. When the van shuts off in the middle of the fast moving freeway, it is an accident waiting to happen. It has happened twice in 3 weeks. It happened even after I brought the van in for the recall fix. - Chrysler Pacifica 03A recall fix is not fixing the problem. Please, help us. Pacifica Hybrid owners' lives are at risk every time they drive their vans. They also put other drivers at risk.

AIR BAGS
Potential Consequences:
The contact's mother had rented a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The contact stated that upon his mother entering a gas station at a low rate of speed, she hit a divot in the road which triggered the vehicle's phantom braking to engage without warning.

Due to the failure, his mother was taken to the hospital where she was treated for a concussion as well as multiple injuries to her neck, hips, nose, and right thumb; she also sustained severe burns and bruising to both hands and arms. A police report was filed. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic; however, the whereabouts of the vehicle are unknown. The dealer nor the manufacturer had yet to be notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unknown.

POWER TRAIN
Potential Consequences:
Vehicle would lose power unexpectedly at highway speeds and in town posing a major risk for an accident to occur. We brought the vehicle in for the recall-software update but vehicle continues to lose power. The only change is a warning that appears on the instrument dash screen to slow down/pull over because the vehicle is about to lose power. This is still a hazard at highway speeds and busy in town traffic driving because you are required to shut down your vehicle. Not acceptable on many levels and I would have assumed the recall would fix the actual functional disturbance and not just create a warning screen.

This is not good as anything in the vehicle is open to theft with me having no control of it. Happened on the road traveling to FL from IL leaving all of our belongings visible and available to take. Not good had luggage tools, guns all easily stolen.

Defect Description:
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
Potential Consequences:
I was driving around 15 mph and the van suddenly lost all electrical and engine power. I could not drive and none of the instruments were working. I could not turn on the emergency blinkers / hazard lights. I could not restart the van. No buttons were working. The van came to a stop with some bad sounds from the engine. I was on a hill and I had to keep my foot on the brake otherwise the van would start rolling backwards. I could not place the vehicle into park and the parking break did not work either. This means I was effectively trapped in the vehicle, in the middle of the road, unable to engage any hazard lights. I called my spouse and he drove to meet me. He opened the hood and after a minute the power returned and the vehicle displayed a "service electrical system" message. I was then able to drive the vehicle home about half a mile. Later that evening the vehicle again "died" and was unresponsive. Hours later it is still not turning on and will have it towed to the dealership. This complete loss of power has happened a few times before, but always when the vehicle was parked overnight and I discovered it was not working in the morning. But it would always turn itself back on after a few minutes.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER
Potential Consequences:
The sliding driver side rear door malfunctioned - either a sensor did not go off, or the door did not register the sensor. My 4-year-old female child pressed the button to automatically open the sliding door, and attempted to climb in the vehicle as it was sliding open. She accidentally hit the button again as she entered, and the automatic sliding door began to close. Her head became trapped between the sliding door and the vehicle frame, and the door continued to attempt to shut, crushing her head. She screamed and I pressed the button again, and the door began to open, letting her loose. She was in significant pain and did not settle quickly; she has a large knot and bruising on her head where the automatic sliding door trapped her, and has a headache. The door should have registered that her body was in the way of closing, and additionally should have stopped and re-opened when it made contact with her head.
