2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Complaints

In the dash bord power steering not aveleble warning also stop start not responding then servic charging....... not safe to drive this car at all. I had to go the dealership more than four times a year recently spending a lots of time and money. Again engen lights come up.

Our 2018 Chrysler Pacifica had a check engine light come on and we immediately took it to get it checked out. The mechanic said that it had a cylinder 5 misfire that would require a new engine. Our Pacifica only has 68,000 miles on it. The vehicle never over heated and we did routine maintenance by the manufacture recommendations. Our extended warranty is denying the claim due to coolant leaking into the cylinder. We have never had any issues or overheating. This looks like a faulty design. We have been told this is a very common thing in Pacifica's from the years 2017-2021. I would like someone to please investigate the engine issues in the Chrysler Pacifica.

The head gasket appears to be leaky. Misfire in cylinder 3. routine fluid maintenance and never over heated. Appears to be a common issue with this engine.

Persistent white smoke from the exhaust suspecting coolant leak concerning for blown head gaskets.

VVL solenoid gasket and O-rings failure in bank 1 and bank 2. This led to significant amount of oil seeping over time on other engine bay components.

PCV valve failure. There was oil leak outside. When taken off, there was oily gunk inside. When shaked, it was obviously completely stuck. I took out and cleaned it thoroughly.

Significant leak from the oil filter housing underneath the intake manifold plenum. Upon inspection, one ore more seals of the housing appear to have failed.

Water pump is leaking with white smoke came out from the engine bay under hood. I immediately checked the reservoir and it was empty. I took pictures and consulted with my friend who is a mechanics who confirmed the findings being due to water pump leak. I confirmed with a pressure test. Had I not noticed, it would’ve listed to other serious problems.

The contact owns a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V536000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure. Parts distribution disconnect.

On [XXX], my vehicle produced a large red wrench and a turtle warning on a busy highway and I was forced to pull to the side with my [XXX] son in the car, as the vehicle lost motive power. It was towed to the dealer and after several days, they told me the issue was due to normal wear and tear in the transmission. I had to escalate to a service manager to even get a diagnosis after 5 days in the shop. I believe my transmission issue is due to a failure of the fix implemented in the 03A/NHTSA 23V-010 recall. It has been documented that the software update did not fix the issue. My vehicle experienced the exact series of failures described in the recall. Chrysler is refusing to fix my vehicle, even though they had extended the warranty on my Pacifica to unlimited miles/unlimited years because of all of the transmission issues the model has experienced. I would appreciate it if someone could look into this and Chrysler's unwillingness to stand behind their products and provide fixes for their recalls that work.
