2 complaints about the 2016 Chrysler Pacifica
Newest first, as filed with NHTSA by owners.
Car shuts off while driving. Warnings to put the car in park and electronic stability issues may pop up. The engine makes a weird noise and the car will often not shift to park to restart. This has occurred three separate occasions for me. Each time I was luckily driving slowly prior to a turn. I have brought the car to the dealer each time. They have tried replacing the shifter, updated the computer system and cleared error codes. Nothing works. This is a huge safety issue for our family and they just keep returning the car to me.
