Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Vehicle displayed stop safely, vehicle will shut off soon followed by a complete lack of power. We managed to get to the side of the highway safely. Vehicle would not turn back on until about 45 minutes later. Before we turned off the vehicle it said service charge port. Check engine light is on, even after we managed to get it started. Currently at the shop, waiting for information on why.”
NHTSA complaint #11668258, filed 2025-06“While traveling on an interstate highway at highway speed (65-70 mph), a red turtle warning light came on with the message Pull over Safely; vehicle will shut off soon. Almost immediately, we lost all power and glided into the right-hand shoulder. We narrowly missed being rear-ended. We got it to a local dealer, where the service department informed us we need a new transmission. The car has less than 13,000 miles on it.”
NHTSA complaint #11677441, filed 2025-07“On our daily commute the car came to a stop at a light and then the car then turned off and would not start again. We tried everything but the engine would turnover. After 3 hours, the car then started and we drove it to dealership and they detected no faults or codes.”
NHTSA complaint #11647350, filed 2025-03“While driving at 75 mph, my vehicle displayed warning to pull over because engine/vehicle would shut off. I was on the outside lane and had to pull over all the way to the right immediately. I had recently had my car inspected and no warning lights were on at the time of the incident, which put all 4 passengers in the vehicle at risk. This is the second Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid to display the same transmission failure. We took the van in for service and the issue was coded: POA43-00”
NHTSA complaint #11739626, filed 2026-05“I have completed recall 66B/NHTSA 24V-436 on my Chrysler Pacifica. I'm continuing to have issues where the uconnect system locks up and restarts, the rear view camera freezes or turns on when driving forward. Once the system locks up you can't operate certain vehicle controls such as HVAC as they are controlled through the system and the buttons do not respond. I tried contacting Uconnect but their phone system says error after multiple steps to get to a representative. I've read many other people having these issues online also. …”
