“When in slow or bumper to bumper traffic slowing down at a traffic light or to make a right or left turn. When you go to accelerate my transmission throws a hard shift like something just hit the back of the van and pushed it forward .I took the van to the dealership twice between february and may 2020 they keep telling me they cant find the problem.”
NHTSA complaint #11326205, filed 2020-05, 26,000 miles“I was at a stop sign. With out any warning my 2018 Pacifica shut down. The knob to turn from park to drive or reverse started turnning by itself and then it shut off completely. A couple of seconds later, the van restarted and it said to press the ignition button to start the vehicle. I was at an intersection with the car on drive when the vehicle shut off.”
NHTSA complaint #11254300, filed 2019-09, 38,000 miles“The power steering is going in and out, both with warning light and loss of power steering. This has happened at various speeds and conditions and is very dangerous, not only when steering goes out, but with the suddenness of it coming back on. It can do it several times in just a few minutes of driving and worries me about transporting my children, but this is our only vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11375958, filed 2020-11, 96,000 miles“Engine randomly stalls. We've had this vehicle for approximately 8 months and it has randomly stalled more than 10 times regardless of the scenario (driving, stopped at a light, parked). The latest incident being today, 3/4/19. This is a serious safety concern based on it happening while driving with our children in the vehicle.”
NHTSA complaint #11183959, filed 2019-03, 10,000 miles“With start/stop on, sitting at a stop sign or light, car stops as it's supposed to, then I remove my foot from the brake and it rolls backward. It doesn't do it all the time, dealer unable to replicate issue and sends me home. I argue stating my vehicle is not safe for my children! Once it rolled me into a mailbox shattering my rear window!”
