2017 Chrysler Pacifica Exterior lighting Problems

“This is the second complaint I have filed in 24 hours. I believe I am having a known problem/recall in my vehicle: engine stall due to software issue an engine stall can increase the risk of a crash. Nhtsa campaign number: 18v049000 I drove about 3 miles. Parked my vehicle and pushed the button to open the sliding back door. When I pushed the button the entire vehicle turned off including the engine and all the lights. Nothing on the dash remained lit. I tried to restart it and nothing happened. No sounds, click or lights appeared. …”

“In the first 500 miles of driving my new Pacifica on at least 5 occasions I have used the turn signal and while pushing the arm to signal I also manage to push it forward. I have done this during the day and then when night comes I turn on the headlights to find that they start with high beams. As I never use high beams this comes as a surprise and I don't even think to look to see if it happens until someone flashes their lights at me. Having the high beams on unexpectedly is not safe. It should be much harder to accidentally (or on purpose) turn on the high beams. …”

“While driving at 66 miles an hour the ess warning light came on but nothing else occurred. Stopped at rest area, turned vehicle off. Let vehicle sit few minutes restarted vehicle but the ess stayed on with no other effects.”

“I was stopped at a light and the car flashed all its lights and shifted me into park. After it started right back up but the check engine light came on and stayed on. It did this another two times as well and is very dangerous for me driving with my kids. prior to this issue I had to replace shutter and head gasket (Coolant leak). This car has so far cost 6K in repairs.”

“This week was the SECOND time our van lost both low beam headlights at the same time while driving at night. Both times the dealership wanted over $500 to replace them. Our drive train will catch while driving. We took our van in for this problem and were told by the dealership that its just the way the transmission is made When we bought the vehicle it was two years old and had rust spots on the hood. We had it repaired. Now, two years later the same rust bubbles are starting to appear on the hood.”
