2020 Chrysler Pacifica Engine Problems

“Went for 1st ever oil change, technicians noticed coolant reservoir was empty (should never be) and there was leaked coolant all over the engine and bottom of cars protection pads (bad issue). Told me (get it to the dealer immediately), which I did, taking it to phillips Chrysler of ocala. In order for my engine not to blow up. I have been driving this for 7000 miles since I purchased it with zero miles. …”

“Engine has shut off on its own 3 separate occasions since purchasing this vehicle 4 months ago. First occasion I was coming to a stop at a traffic light and the engine shut off. Second time I was starting up from a traffic light and the engine shut off. Third time I was driving approximately 35 MPH and the engine shut off. All instances were on a city street. I had to press the start/stop button. Then press it again while pressing the brake to turn the car back on after putting the vehicle back in park. This issue is widely described on older years of the Chrysler Pacifica.”

“We've had issues with transmission since we purchased this vehicle in the brand new condition. The vehicle has a hard shifting problem and makes unusual noise. We've driven newer models of Pacifica that didn't have this problem. The issues are getting worse after numerous repairs made by Chrysler.”

“My car has had an electrical fire/smoke smell with no check engine or other warning lights on. No signs of overheating, etc. and now I=has been having. a hard up and down shift. Today while stopped at a light smoke was boiling out from underneath the hood.”

“The vehicle will hard shift randomly. The engine light comes on sometimes and the engine losses speed and power while driveing down the highway. I can sometimes cut the vehicle off and make it home safely other times it will not let me drive the vehicle at all. We have taken to dealer and they say they cant diagnose if light isnt on. Most of the time when the light is on I cant make it to the dealer because the vehicle will not drive. It has been confirmed by the scanner froma independent service center.”
