2022 CHRYSLER PACIFICA PLUG-IN HYBRID Complaints

Second complaint for same issue. Our vehicle stalled 6 times over the course of 17 miles driving around town, maximum of 50 MPH at times. We have multiple videos of this. Have contacted Chrysler and was told they do not have a fix for this issue even though they are aware it is a safety issue. Awaiting call back on how they will help resolve this issue ASAP as the car is basically undrivable with stalling that many times in such a short trip!

I drive on the freeway, and I lost any power with the car, I'm lucky my baby was not in my car on that day. It happened two times and I go to the Mopar service center, they tell me they don't have the part for that, and I ask them what's should I do with that situation, and they said that's a good question, I have no idea, but you can wait for the part and I don't know when the part comes in maybe a week, and maybe few months.

While driving on the highway, the vehicle coaster to a stop. It gave a warning to plug in the battery for conditioning and the D was blinking. It said to put to P to stop. Was able to coast to the side of the highway safely and vehicle had to be stopped and turned off to be able to run. This happened 4 times in under 30 miles on the highway.

Driving in traffic, slowed to a stop for red light and dash lights came on. Vehicle would appear to start, but transmission would not engage (gear selector light would blink, instead of being a solid light). If I let off the brakes with the car in drive, the vehicle would roll backwards (as if in neutral). After several minutes of pressing start/stop button, the vehicle eventually started and went into gear. I called FCA about the issue, and they couldn’t find any service center to accept my vehicle within a week, and told me I could rent a car on my own if I was concerned.

The contact owns a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 23V010000 (Electrical System, 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. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Hello. I am writing to say that the proposed fix for NHTSA 23V-010 and FCA 03A is insufficient. The stated problem is a short causing a loss of motive power. The proposed fix is a software update that informs the driver of the situation. This is not a repair for the root cause which as stated in the recall is a short causing a loss of motive power. I propose that the NHTSA put more pressure on Chrysler to repair the root cause of the problem instead of a software update that merely notifies the driver.

Unknown, recall to be issued but nothing yet and we are driving in potentially unsafe cars with our family!!!

Vehicle lost ability to accelerate on highway engine shit off, lost power steering, dashboard read “press break and push button to start” as though vehicle were turned off. Dashboard displayed default message “service hybrid electric vehicle system”. Happened 3 times in span of 3 days. 2 of which were on the highway, the 3rd was on exit ramp of highway. The inability to accelerate/loss of power steering while driving is a huge safety concern. We called dealership, service manager immediately acknowledged safety concern and picked up vehicle at our home. Vehicle is currently being evaluated at dealership.

On 11/19/22, while driving to a family member's for Thanksgiving week, we stopped to get gas and turned the vehicle off. When attempting to start, we received a "Service Charging System" error on the dash and the vehicle would not start. Fortunately after waiting several minutes we were able to get it started and made it to our destination. The next morning it did not start and we had it towed to the nearest dealer. The issue was reproduced at the dealer and they did some things to clear error codes, recalls, etc. and the vehicle started one day but then the issue reoccurred the next day. After three weeks they were able to upgrade the hybrid system software which seemed to do the trick. We picked up the vehicle and drove it home. Two weeks later on Christmas day when we were leaving a family party the issue came back and we were not able to get it started. The next day 12/26/22, we had it towed to the nearest dealer where it is currently at as of this writing. When it was delivered to the dealer the issue was still present however they did not bring it in to service for a week and when they did the issue was not there. They are working to recreate the issue to try and diagnose. There were no warnings or error messages in advance of this issue occurring. Luckily this issue did not happen while driving as that would have put myself and family in a dangerous system. The fact that this issue has not been resolved and seems to occur randomly is a major concern. I do not feel safe driving this vehicle knowing that this can happen and leave us stranded or in an unsafe situation. We are currently working with the dealer with hopes of a solution but this is a serious issue.
