ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I have a 2023 Pacifica with around 3k miles. I purchased brand new. In the few months that I have owned the vehicle, it has turned off about 5 times while driving. It loses all power. Engine, power, etc completely dies. I need to restart the vehicle, wait for start-up, and then I can continue driving. The vehicle has currently been at Arrigo Sawgrass Chrysler since 07/13/2023. Arrigo continues to say "They can not duplicate the issue and it does not show on computers " I called Chrysler Corporate for escalation. They told me that they have no record of the vehicle being in a repair shop until 07/25/2023. The bottom line is, this is a real problem. I have a 4-year-old, 2-year-old, and 2-month-old plus myself and my wife in the vehicle. What if this repeats and the car turns off in an intersection with a semi coming or worse? I understand the computer is not always accurate and it's a new vehicle. I do not feel safe if they return the vehicle without correcting the issue and do not want my family to be the test dummies for an issue that can be prevented. Chrysler is impossible to intervene and the dealership is only doing what they can. However, they don't get paid if they cant find issues so it's a tough situation.Thank you in advance.

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

While driving I got "rear seat alert" followed by "Car Shutting down in 9 secs" message, it happened twice. The first time on Northern State Highway in NY. I was driving with my family, and the car unexpectedly shutdown happened. Nothing worked, I had no power, no steering, no brakes, all gone. Our luck was that I was already on the right lane and just had to let the car stop in the curbside. Because of the messages, we thought the rear door was opened or something. After a few minutes, after several tries, the engine started, and we exit the highway and parked on the local road to try to understand what happened. We decided to continue our trip on the service road. We end up on Ocenside, NY on a two lane, busy street and it happened again, but at this time I was not able to move the car to the curb, the car stop completely on the middle of the road, no steering, nothing. Because of the incoming traffic, our hazard lights alone were not enough to warn the coming traffic. We though that an accident was eminent, for which we called 911 for help. I could not get out of the car because of the speed of the incoming cars. After several attempts, the car turned on again, I parked on the curb and I called the AVIS Rental Roadside Assistance, because I was not going to put my family, including an 87 year old in jeopardy. After we got home from the long, stressful day. I searched internet and for my surprise, there were several posts (links) relating the same issue I had. Including recalls from Chrysler about a short circuit, which could even cause a fire. Chrysler issued a NO PARKING INSIDE note, which is hard to understand. I feel it is my obligation, as a family person, to report this incident, because this car should not be in the ROAD. Avis is currently RENTING this car. Furthermore, for my surprise, I saw a ad on NBC, 5pm yesterday, 07/26/2023. It is just a matter of searching on internet to see the DANGER that families are exposed.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

The motorized doors have no apparent safety features and will allow them to fully open and close even when obstructed. The rear hatch takes my full 200lbs body weight to stop from fully opening. It will lift the garage door and there is no safety mechanism to stop it from damaging the car door or the garage door. When closing it will not stop untilI use all my strength for about 20 seconds when it finally gives up. The open/close button simply reverses the direction. If something is pinched in such a way that stopping the door is the only way to reduce injury, it cannot be done. The door will simply keep reversing direction every time you push the button.... repeatedly moving against what is in the space. The side doors have similar issues. The button and door handle do not release the most, it only reverses the direction. Other vehicles I owned had some way to disengage the motor to prevent further injury. The 2023 Pacifica needs to be fixed to prevent injuries due to there being no method of disengaging the door motors.

SEATS

Potential Consequences:

With driver seated in the driver's seat, a child entered the vehicle and pressed the "Stow 'n Go Assist" button, instead of the "door close" button. From the Stellantis website: "There is a button on the B-pillar that allows for easier operation of the Stow ‘n Go feature. By pushing the Stow ‘n Go Assist feature, the front seat will move forward automatically to allow the second-row seat to be stowed. Pressing the button again moves the front seat back to its starting position" The driver's seat, while occupied, still moved forward, pinning the driver between the seat and the steering wheel. Pressing the "Stow 'n Go Assist" button again to attempt to free the driver resulted in an error message on the instrument cluster that an obstruction was detected, so the seat could not be moved (not exact wording, unfortunately). The driver, once calmed from the initial shock of the event, was able to force her way out of the seat (it was not easy for her to move out of the seat in this position), and only then did the seat return to normal operation. Van is available for inspection, we have NOT attempted to reproduce the issue, the event was reported to the local dealership and they indicate they will check for any TSBs or anything of the sort once it is there. Nobody has actually inspected it, and there were no warnings or errors related to this prior to the event occurring.

Pressing the "Stow 'n Go Assist" button again to attempt to free the driver resulted in an error message on the instrument cluster that an obstruction was detected, so the seat could not be moved (not exact wording, unfortunately). The driver, once calmed from the initial shock of the event, was able to force her way out of the seat (it was not easy for her to move out of the seat in this position), and only then did the seat return to normal operation. Van is available for inspection, we have NOT attempted to reproduce the issue, the event was reported to the local dealership and they indicate they will check for any TSBs or anything of the sort once it is there. Nobody has actually inspected it, and there were no warnings or errors related to this prior to the event occurring.

Corrective Action:

With driver seated in the driver's seat, a child entered the vehicle and pressed the "Stow 'n Go Assist" button, instead of the "door close" button. From the Stellantis website: "There is a button on the B-pillar that allows for easier operation of the Stow ‘n Go feature. By pushing the Stow ‘n Go Assist feature, the front seat will move forward automatically to allow the second-row seat to be stowed. Pressing the button again moves the front seat back to its starting position" The driver's seat, while occupied, still moved forward, pinning the driver between the seat and the steering wheel.
