2019 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-In Hybrid Engine Problems

“Pacifica hybrid, two incidents: first was on freeway, fast lane, driving normally with active cruise control. The car suddenly shut down all acceleration and slowed. I was able to press the brake and stop. The front console lit up with many warnings including the frontal collision warnings. I was not close to car in front of me but a motorcycle had split lane passed me very closely and cut in. I had to power off my car and start it twice before it would go forward. I took car for service, Chrysler dealer found nothing wrong, replaced a computer module, gave it back. …”

“On interstate highway left lane at 65mph, check engine light comes on, red plug-in light comes on, and car slows to a stop in lane. Car does not turn back on after several attempts. After five minutes, car starts again. Check engine light remains on. Stalling recall not found for this VIN, but is in manufacture date range of recall.”

This happened twice with the first occurence being just shortly after purchase. Vehicle has been at dealer for 44 days and is still not fixed.”

I parked the vehicle on the shoulder, turned it off, and restarted. The engine started and I drove off, but 5 minutes later it suddenly shut off once again. I repeated this process 2 times until the final time, the vehicle would not restart, and we were stranded on the shoulder of a busy road in icy conditions. …”
