2022 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Complaints

Traveling at 70mph, the car displayed a message to "stop safely, vehicle will shut off soon". Code P0A43 DRIVE MOTOR A POSITION SENSOR CIRCUIT INTERMITTENT" was pulled. The van can not be driven safely on the road without the car alerting the driver that it will shut off soon.

In 2024, our vehicle displayed a critical warning stating: “Stop safely. Vehicle will shut off soon.” While driving on the highway, the vehicle began losing engine power—a terrifying and dangerous experience. We immediately took it to the dealership, where they diagnosed a transmission failure and proceeded to replace the transmission. Unfortunately, we are now experiencing the same issue again this year. The vehicle continues to lose power and shut off while in motion on the highway, creating an extremely hazardous situation that nearly resulted in a serious accident. This ongoing malfunction poses a significant risk to the safety of drivers and passengers. Chrysler must take immediate responsibility by recalling these vehicles and replacing them with safer alternatives to prevent further danger to human life.

Headrest does not stay in the upright position in the 2nd row due to manufacturer defect. My child is supposed to sit there and now there is no headrest, thus putting his safety/life at risk. This defect has been frequently reported across multiple forms on the internet of other vehicles with the same make and model experiencing the SAME defect.

I bought a 2022 Pacifica Hybrid in October 2022. About 2 months ago(Feb 2025), while I was driving on the [XXX] highways, my car suddenly showed "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" and a turtle symbol. At this time, I was driving 70 MPH and the car started to slowly stop. Then, I tried to drive into a nearby Starbucks to check it out. I turned off the car. Everything was OK such as oil, coolant, a/c, windshield. Then I restarted the car and the "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" and the turtle symbol were gone. I thought it was okay, so I continued driving. 5 days ago (XXX), I had a trip to San Antonio. When I was driving close to Austin. My car showed "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" and the turtle symbol again. At this time, I stopped on [XXX]. I feel very dangerous for me, my wife and my 2 children. I feel very scared and confused when I am driving on [XXX] and the car stops like that. I feel like our lives are in danger while driving. Then "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" and the turtle symbol appear more frequently. My car has appeared "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" and the turtle symbol 6 times in 3 days. Yesterday was [XXX]. When I parked in my driveway, "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" and the turtle symbol also appeared. Every day, I must take my 2 children to school in my 2022 Pacifica Hybrid. Now, I feel very scared when driving. I do not know when "Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon" and the turtle symbol will appear again and will cause an accident for my family. We sincerely hope that you will consider and request Chrysler to help us check and fix this as soon as possible. Thank you very much.

My 2022 Pacifica Hybrid is experiencing a known transmission issue as identified in TSB 21-042-24 My VIN falls squarely within the build date window. The bulletin instructs dealers to replace the transmission—not rebuild it. I am refusing an inferior repair that contradicts the manufacturer’s own instructions. I am requesting immediate escalation, in writing, confirming that my vehicle will receive a factory-new transmission in accordance with the TSB

When driving on hybrid mode with battery charged up suddenly warning message showing “Transmission Failure” and message saying “Stop Safely Vehicle is going to shut off soon”. Breaks don’t work as normal when this happens and vehicle wouldn’t stop immediately. Feels unsafe to drive. Engine warning lights turn on and stay for a day after this happens. Checked with dealership and they mentioned recall is still being worked upon and not yet available. Tried reaching MOPAR directly but no response yet.

The headrest on the third-row seat is loose and does not stay in the upright position. In the event of an accident, this could pose a serious risk to passengers, as their head could move forward, and the headrest may fall down, potentially causing neck injury or further harm.

MAY CAR HAS STARTED REPEATEDLY FLASHED CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS AND WARNING SIGNS THAT THE VEHICLE IS ABOUT TO SHUT OFF SOON AND TO STOP SAFELY WHILE TRAVELING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. THE VEHICLE BECOMES UNRESPONSIVE AND I HAVE TO COAST TO THE SHOULDER OF THE HIGHWAY. AFTER TURNING OFF THE VEHICLE I AM ABLE TO RESTART AND CONTINUE DRIVING WITH THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT ON FOR NEXT 2 TO 3 STARTS. THE DEALER HAS ALREADY ATTEMPTED TO REPAIR THIS LAST YEAR BY REPLACING THE TRANSMISSION, BUT THE PROBLEM STILL REMAINS AND HAS NOT BEEN FIXED. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE THE ISSUE AS THERE WAS NO ACTIVE CODES WHEN IT WAS BROUGHT INTO THE SHOP. SINCE THAT VISIT IN EARLY MARCH 2025, IT HAS HAPPENED AGAIN. I BELIEVE THIS IS RELATED TO NHTSA CAMPAIGN 23V010 AND CHRYSLER RECALL 03A
