“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.”
NHTSA complaint #11492047, filed 2022-11“A message appeared on the dashboard stating the engine would shut off soon. I could not accelerate. This has happened multiple times (at least a dozen since I bought the vehicle in April 2025) and I cannot drive above 70 mph or it will cause the issue to occur. Several times I have been in multi-lane traffic and because you cannot accelerate, I have to try to park on the should across multiple lanes of traffic at high rates of speed while slowing down.”
NHTSA complaint #11714924, filed 2026-02“During 3 separate drives (October11, 2024; December 30, 2024, and January 2, 2025) the vehicle shut off while going uphill on an interstate while the engine was at 3,000 RPM. When I pulled over to the side of the highway and stopped the car, the emergency parking break automatically came on. I had to restart the vehicle 2 or more times in each instance. On January second, the vehicle shut down 5 separate times, some on Interstate 70 and some on US Route 40, all while going uphill between 2000 and 3000rpm. …”

That person could have no possibly reacted fast enough to prevent his vehicle from rear-ending my vehicle. Again, there was no one in front of me, only the vehicle in the outer-lane. …”
NHTSA complaint #11487390, filed 2022-10“In May 2025 shortly after purchasing this vehicle I had complete Brake failure while driving down the road. I was driving approximately 65 mph when the forward collision warning, ABS warning, Brake Warning, Auto Emergency Brake warning lights came on and when I pushed on the brake pedal it was hard as a rock and wouldn't stop the vehicle. It was returned to the purchasing dealership, and they replaced the Brake Booster.
