“This van has had a transmission failure that lead to it stopping while driving 60mph down a freeway, several check engine light issues that were erroneous or needed software updates and now has an open recall for side airbags that may fail and allow a child to go thru a window during g a crash. This is a hazard we do not want to risk with our children”

NHTSA complaint #11698803, filed 2025-11

“I can't rent out the car due to a safety recall and I can't sell it either to Chrysler dealerships because they can't sell it to the public. It's been 2 month since there is not fix, they said there would be a fix by Quarter 3 this year but nothing yet. I just want Chrysler to buy the car back with the same amount I purchased it for.”

NHTSA complaint #11692163, filed 2025-10

“-Ongoing safety recall with no available fix for rear airbags. -I do not feel comfortable using our Pacifica to transport our children when there is a known safety issue that could impact their safety and survival in an accident. -The problem has been known to Chrysler since at least May 2025. It is currently Mid-September, and there is still no fix available. -I am unable to trade my vehicle in due to this recall. …”

NHTSA complaint #11688339, filed 2025-09

“I was notified of the recall back in early December, but I have been unable to get the recall repairs taken care of as the dealer says the parts are unavailable. I have ongoing concerns for my family's safety.”

NHTSA complaint #11720815, filed 2026-02

“I received a safety recall regarding my 2023 Chrysler Pacifica side curtain air bags in May 2025. I have been trying to schedule repair of the problem and the dealership is unwilling to diagnose or assess the vehicle because they say the repair is not yet available. They did confirm the problem exists but are unwilling to touch the car until the manufacturer offers a fix. I am very concerned to drive my children in this vehicle without properly functioning airbags. I do not see any warning lights or messages about the problem.”
