2022 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Complaints

We were on the interstate. Driving the 80 mph speed limit. Got warning that said stop safety vehicle will shut off soon. I had 4 kids in the vehicle with me. I barely got it onto the shoulder before it completely shut off and would not move. Had to get it towed to nearest dealership 60 miles away. No answers left and now we are stranded. We could have been killed. No warning signs.

On a road trip with my 2022 Chrysler pacifica hybrid with 20k miles, was driving on the freeway when this message came up "stop safely vehicle will shut down". Vehicle immediately lost power and I pulled onto shoulder but was in a bad location to be broken down. Got out check fluids etc, all fine. Then cycled vehicles a few times and was able to limp it to a gas station. Finally got it going again and continued driving. I will now have to tow it home because it is unsafe.

4 incidents total (3 on the freeway, once just getting out of a parking area), accelerator won’t work and car makes a beep with the following message “Stop Safely, Vehicle will shutoff soon” Was able to pull to the side of the freeway turn off and on the car, lock it and unlock it; then I was able to drive again with the check engine light on. Took the car to Chrysler dealer on Monday but they said they didn’t see any faults. I was driving with my wife and kids and this was extremely dangerous. Stopping and getting out of the car on a freeway with car passing at 65+ miles per hour. I am concerned if my wife encounters the issue on the freeway and not pulling safely to the side, her or the kids can get into a terrible accident. Here are some dates and details: 3/28/24 Stop safely vehicle will stop soon Parked 3 days 3/31/24 engine line on 4-1-24 no lights; car serviced 6/1/2024 stop safely (just got in the car in Thousand Oaks after lunch ) 6/2/2024 twice on the freeway 6/3/2024 spoke with dealer, he transferred me to appointments; lady at appointments told me June 17 2024 is the nearest appointment.

While driving on the highway in rush hour traffic I got a message to pull over when it was safe to do so, and the car started losing power. The breakdown lane was in use for traffic, so I had to drive 1/2 mile to find a safe spot with the car going much more slowly than the flow of traffic. I turned the car off, and opened the door to 'reset' it, then nervously pulled back out into traffic. I was able to drive to about a mile from my house, and I got the message and lost power again. I go the car to my mechanic, who said that the car had transmission failure. I had the car towed to the dealer, who confirmed as much.

I was driving on highway, speed was about 70mph. All the sudden the dashboard said “ Stop Safely Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon”. Then the car start reducing the speed immediately no matter how hard I tried to accelerate. I stopped in the emergency lane. Shutdown the car. Then restart, I could drive about 30s to 60s, then the error came again. It occurred 6 times in total while I drove out the highway to a safety place in 2 miles.

Vehicle stopped twice while driving on the highway. Very scary. The car forced me to stop. I got an email from the vehicle at the time of the incident saying it was a powertrain failure. And the dealer says its a transmission issue The vehicle displayed this on the dashboard when it was stopping. Safely - Vehicle will shut off soon

We just purchased the used 2022 Pacifica today., it was 75 miles back home. I left to get Dairy Queen; I turned left onto side road into Norton commons and an alert came up Stop safely your car will slow down soon. Very scary with a family and newb and kids and wife. Especially because cost bought it. Perhaps I should return it!

Driving in residential area at 30mph and van turned off while moving. Message on dashboard said to push break and press to start. Vehicle put itself in park. No lights turned on. I heard a beep and felt engine shut off. Problem just happened and I haven't driven it since. Called auto shop and was advised to document I'd it happened again because they need a code or some evidence to give to techs.

On 5/6/24 I was driving on the highway when suddenly a warning came on the dashboard that said stop safely. The vehicle will shut off soon. I was able to quickly get off the highway and I barely made it into a gas station. I had to cross several lanes of oncoming traffic to do this, and by that time, the vehicle was literally shutting down and I, barely made it into the gas station. My safety was put at risk because I was going 55 miles an hour on a highway that had no shoulder to pull off to and I had no idea how long I had until the vehicle was going to shut down. I was so terrified of being stuck on this highway that I took a risk by exiting the highway worrying the whole time that I would get stuck at any moment. Because it was a Monday and a very busy day for tow trucks I had to wait 3 1/2 hours for a tow truck to come. I was in a part of town. I would never normally stop in because it is not safe. As a said earlier, the warning light came on the dash suddenly

I had just entered the highway and was at 70mph maybe 3 minutes into the drive, the engine hiccuped with a slight loss of power and the dashboard lit up with a message: “Stop Safely. Vehicle will shut off soon” and the transmission light came on. Outside temp: 78 degrees, AC on, stereo on I pulled over to the side of the highway, turned the car off and then back on and the message was still there. I sat for about 5 minutes with the car off and restarted. The Stop Safely message was gone but the transmission light was on. The van drove normally the remaining 8 miles home. Once home, I turned it on and off periodically and the transmission light was still on but no Stop Safely message. This morning I turned the car on and the transmission light was no longer on.
