“My vehicle has no back up camera or blind spot warning. Took to dealer for recall and they said they were only responsible for a software update and not solving the recall problem. My vehicle still does not have either of these functions. I was told I would have to pay for the repairs for this recall.”

NHTSA complaint #11644139, filed 2025-02

“My Pacifica completely shut down. All the warning lights came on such as crash detected, ABS light, and the windshield wipers came on. The vehicle was towed to the dealership that I bought the vehicle from. They completed a hard reset of the vehicle, and I took it home. Two days later it did the same thing all the lights came on, but it allowed me to drive it to the dealership. Still waiting to see what they think the problem is this time.”

“The backup camera and rear collision warning randomly stops working. I put the car in reverse and there are just blank lines on the screen. Somethimes the screen resumes a normal display when I shift out of reverse, and sometimes the screen just stops working.”

NHTSA complaint #11609631, filed 2024-08

“For the most recent recall, the rear view camera has not been working since August 2024. I’ve been to the dealership 3 times, once in August and twice in November and they cannot resolve the issue. They told me that they’ve sent information to Chrysler and they would contact me in a few days and I have not heard back. This is a huge safety issue as my rear view display is not visible, it’s either a blue screen or grey screen. I need help please”

NHTSA complaint #11632027, filed 2024-12

“I took the van to get the safety recall done in 2026, Feb 25. For the rear view back up camera. I took it to the same dealership that I bought the car from, Jones Junction. However, upon further complications with the back up camera, this issue has never been fixed or resolved. If anything, the issue has become worse. I am unable to use my camera 98% of the time. It freezes. It goes black or is unavailable to see anything out of. It's a safety recall for a reason. I want this issue fixed. As I have been driving like this with the issue for quite some time. What are my next steps? …”
