“22' Pacifica has advanced front brake assist . It does not work. I have tried and it only sets off a audible warning noise and dash says BRAKE. NO braking assist like it was stated it would have. I took it back to dealership 3 times now and have been told every time it has no codes. This safety braking does not work. The settings are all on . But there is no assist braking at all.”
