2019 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Complaints

Head gasket failure at 68500 miles. It causes a misfire in the engine and could cause an accident from the car bucking once it consumes the engine coolant and also causes overheating and a lot of smoke to come out of the tailpipe making it less visible for others on the road to see, if behind a car like mine

This vehicle continues to display the same symptoms that are listed in V53/NHTSA 19V-348. The steering wheel gets stuck when making turns on roads at around 40 mph. It also displays similar behavior when making slow moving turns and the wheel is fully locked to turn either left or right. I have called FCA today and asked that my vehicle be included in the recall notice. The customer service person I spoke to could not do that for me. She could only suggest that I lodge a complaint on this site. It's a dangerous situation when you are driving as you hope that the steering wheel will return to the straight ahead position after making the turn. This makes my wife nervous to drive. It is negligent for FCA to ignore this as the end result could be tragic if not addressed. I implore you to add my VIN or batch of manufacture to this recall. To answer the bullet point questions. 1. Steering. 2. Risk that the steering wheel will not return to the straight ahead position. 3. I could easily replicate this behavior if a dealer would want to drive with me for a few hours to the roads that I know that this occurs. I could most likely demonstrate the low speed outcomes too. 4. No inspections have been done by the dealer. My independent mechanic is aware of this and directed me to the original recall notice. 5. There are no warning lamps. This has been going on for well over 18 months, maybe longer. I've already spent money with my mechanic on a repair that did not resolve the behavior (at that point, he did not have the recall notice and was doing his own troubleshooting)

After backing up and putting the vehicle in DRIVE the backing up camera will remain on for up to 10 second.

On 4 occasions upon stopping at either traffic lights or stop signs the vehicle has completely shut off and shift to park on its own. The first time it shown the hood was open, upon checking the hood was locked. The other times there were no alerts indicated on the instrument panel.

Recall # 72B/NHTSA 24V-538 The recall was issued on July 18th. Today is October 24th. That's more than 3 months and there's still no info on a remedy or a timeline.

The check engine light came on. The day it came on, when starting the vehicle, it started shaking while in idle and when initially driving. The same day I had the engine read and a cylinder 6 misfire came up on the report. When I began driving, the car was shaking and it felt like it could stop abruptly which could have caused an accident. Yes, it was inspected and it was diagnosed that the head gasket is blown. Yes, the check engine light came on. It should be noted that when my local mechanic diagnosed the problem, two other Chrysler Pacifica's and two other vehicles with the v6 engine have the same issue.

The contact owns a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while at a traffic light, the on and off switch failed to turn off. While driving at undisclosed speeds, the vehicle shut off unintendedly. The contact stated that the failure was related to NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V010000 (Electrical System, Hybrid Propulsion System). The contact called the local dealer, but the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was contacted, but no assistance was provided. The failure mileage was approximately 48,000.

The power brake booster was failing and causing the vehicle to not stop as expected. When it was brought to an auto mechanic a few weeks after noticing the issue, they described it as appearing defective beyond normal wear-and-tear and reminiscent of a recall for earlier year models of Chrysler Pacificas. The issue caused the vehicle to not respond to the pushing of the brakes and required a pumping of the brakes until the vehicle stopped. Occasionally, when the brakes were depressed and the car was at rest, the vehicle would start moving and the brake pedal would push strongly against being depressed. There were no warning lamps or messages associated with this issue; the issue was discovered simply by noticing that the brakes were not working as they should.
