The mirror appeared normal and showed no warning signs before suddenly shattering while driving.

The rear passenger seatbelt catches in the recoil mechanism and is fraying. Chrysler said it is a wear and tear issue and that we are responsible for the entire cost of replacing. It is catching INSIDE of the housing. This is not wear and tear. we seldom use this seatbelt for this very reason

In [redacted], I was coming down my driveway. It is a long, sloped driveway. As I came around the corner, the brakes went right to the floor; it wasn't just a loss of power; there were no brakes of any kind. The car almost went off the road on the other side. As soon as I turned the car off and back on, the brakes worked perfectly. A few months later, I was coming down another driveway off a dangerous, busy highway, and the brakes stopped working again. My [[redacted]] daughter was with me, and if we went out into...

The vehicle experienced a concurrent failure of the high-voltage traction battery pack and the High-Voltage Battery Coolant Heater (Diagnostic Trouble Code P0E15). The electric battery coolant heater is a critical component of the high-voltage battery thermal management loop and vehicle cabin heating/defrosting system. When this heater fails, the high-voltage battery cannot regulate cell temperatures in colder ambient conditions, which disables electric propulsion mode, triggers powertrain limp-mode/reduced...

The vehicle was left in parking on a Saturday afternoon in Costco. When we came back and we put everything in the trunk, the vehicle turn on automatically, not by remote start, on its own. When we saw the dashboard it said: "Put on in parking to prevent rolling", but the vehicle didn't take any gears and it was not able to be turn off. We try to turn it off several times but it came back on, on its own with the same message: "Put on in parking to prevent rolling", after towing we dropped in the dealer and the...

We purchased 2022 hybrid Chrysler Pacifica from Mountain View CDJR in June 2026 and around July 4th the car went into critical red turtle limp mode on the highway slowing from 65 to under 15 mph with all our children in the car. Thankfully my husband was driving and able to get us to the local CDJR who helped inspect the vehicle and discovered contaminated coolant issue and showed us the different colors that shouldn't be there from a car purchased from a CDJR dealership. The issue was brought to Mountain View who...

Rear passenger side center section captains chair had an uncommanded back of seat drop downward followed by the entire seat rolling forward as I was slowing down the vehicle to make sure the passenger was not injured. The chair flops back and forth. Approximately 12500 miles on the 2022 vehicle. The drivers side of this seat ALSO failed but nobody was sitting in it at the time! The passenger was not injured but could have been severely injured if I had reacted with harsher breaking, if it occurred during a...

This vehicle is experiencing a severe, recurring premature failure of the power sliding door lock actuators on both sides. When I took it to the dealer for inspection I didn't know the clicking sound was a problem. But was told it needed to be replaced because it was a "safety issue." • September 5, 2024: The Right-Side sliding door lock actuator failed prematurely at approximately 15,000 miles and had to be replaced. The dealership replaced under warranty. • Earlier This Year (2026), I don't know exactly when,...

The contact owned a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving up to a four-way intersection at approximately 5 MPH, a second vehicle driving approximately 50 MPH crashed into the front driver's side quarter panel of the vehicle. During the crash, no air bags inside the vehicle deployed. The driver sustained a brain contusion and was transported to the hospital. The second-row driver's side passenger sustained lower back and neck strain, and the third-row driver's side passenger sustained a head...

ADDENDUM to Complaint Number [redacted]: The vehicle is now completely undriveable and parked at my residence due to the severe safety hazard of the Electric Power Steering (EPS) system locking up completely after 10 minutes of operation. I have contacted Chrysler Corporate (Case # [redacted]) and multiple local dealerships, including Carolina Chrysler in [[redacted]].The manufacturer and its dealer network are actively refusing to diagnose or inspect this documented safety defect unless I pay a $206 diagnostic fee...

The manufacturer marked the recall complete via an automated Over-The-Air (OTA) update without physical inspection. The rearview camera failed to display. The dealership replaced the display, which failed to remedy the defect, and during service, the radio module failed completely. Both dealer and manufacturer are demanding out-of-pocket payment to restore federally mandated FMVSS 111 camera compliance.

Vehicle: 2022 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. Approximately 25,300 miles On Saturday 9/12/26 while driving at highway speeds the following message displayed "Stop Safely, Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon". When the message displayed the check engine light illuminated as well as the limp mode light. In limp mode the vehicle reduced speed rapidly and would not accelerate above 20 MPH. This happened at highway speeds on a multilane highway. We were able to get to the shoulder, but it was very dangerous changing lanes in...

**Steering rack failure** I bought this as a used vehicle from Calavan CDJR in [[redacted]] [redacted] with 89,219 miles [[redacted]] It now has approximately 117,000 miles on it. When I bought it, there was a suspension noise that appeared to be due to strut mounts. Due to this noise, dealer lowered the sale price. Since the time of purchase, I have replaced both struts, inner & outer tie rods, lower control arms, sway bar links and both cv axles. And it is still making the same noise, only it has gotten much...

Recall to not charge my 2022 chrysler pacific plug in hybrid and there is no fix. Recall states not to charge or park the vehicle in or near any structures. That is unacceptable. They need to find a fix or buy my vehicle back.

I was driving my Pacifica with my special needs children to thier therapy appointments. The power steering light came on all of a sudden going down the highway at 50-55mph. Steering became extremely difficult. I was barely able to take the the turn to pull into the parking lot. This is even more dangerous as their is a drop-off on the other side if i had not managed to turn aggressively enough. It scared both of my children and myself. The dealership wanted $206 diagnostic fee which we cannot afford. The light will go off and we regain steering once it has been off for a few minutes then light kicks on and we lose steering again.

I am filing a safety complaint regarding Chrysler Corporate's handling of recall campaign 06D (NHTSA 26V-189) for my 2022 Chrysler Pacifica.I received an official corporate notification via mail explicitly stating that parts were now available to remedy this active safety recall. However, when I immediately contacted my authorized Chrysler dealership to schedule the critical safety repair, I was turned away and informed that the parts are completely unavailable and backordered with no estimated release date.Sending...

Having the same issues as earlier models of Chrysler vans with the steering rack tension when going around curves. It's been doing this for a couple of months now.

Vehicle suffered sudden loss of motive power due to Diagnostic Trouble Code P0A43 (Drive Motor A Position Sensor Circuit Intermittent). The failure is caused by thermal and chemical degradation of the internal transmission wiring harness, resulting in an internal electrical short submerged in transmission fluid. The vehicle is able to be powered on again and driving can be continued however certain speeds trigger the issue. The check engine light appears and remains for a short period. The vehicle was purchased...

The contact owns a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 26V189000 (Air Bags); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was contacted; however, the vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired due to parts being on backorder. The contact stated that the manufacturer had exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. In addition, the contact was referred to another local dealer as per the manufacturer; however, parts were not yet available. The manufacturer was made aware of the issue. The contact had not experienced a failure.

Chrysler issued this safety recall 52D at the end of June and still no remedy is being reported as available from Chrysler. This is abysmal customer performance and and unacceptable turnaround time for what amounts to a serious safety risk. Chrysler has not and continues not to provide an estimated timelines for resolution. I am renting a vehicle in the meantime given the safety risk (both while driving and while parked), paying for the rental cost out of pocket and taking a risk that Chrysler will reimburse. In short, the manufacturer has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for this vehicle in a timely manner.

The head rest of the second row broke and will not return to its upright position. It happened when we putting the seat in the stow position. Having the headrest sticking into your neck is very dangerous so we basically lost a seat in our vehicle. We can choose to remove the headrest, which is a danger for whiplash OR repair it. The repair is estimated over 300 which is ridiculous! This should be a covered repair under a recall as it seems to happen frequently.

My vehicle is currently being recalled for the recall 52D, I have reached out twice in a thirty day span asking about a fix and been told both times there are no parts for this fix. The risk of this recall includes fire, while charging or while parked and off.

My car is a part of NHTSA Campaign No. 26V362 / Manufacturer Recall 52D and on July 30th, 2026 it suffered a fatal transmission error and stopped on the highway. I am unable to drive it and it officially needs its entire transmission rebuilt. My wife was driving back from work and the car shutdown in the middle of the highway and she had to risk her life to get it to an emergency zone. The turtle symbol came on the dash and the dealer confirmed the transmission needs to be rebuilt because of a manufacturer defect.

The captains chairs in the second row of the vehicle both had their reclining mechanism fail. This causes the seats to move forward and back sliding when the car is in motion as they will not stay locked in place. They cannot be used for transportation due to it being unsafe for the passenger as the seat does not remain upright. The seat is available for inspection. The seats have not been inspected by the dealer/manufacturer as they are wanting to charge a large service fee and do not have appointments available in a timely fashion. There were no warnings, the seats each failed suddenly upon regular use.

Vehicle under mandatory recall for defective air bags. Called to get appt. with local dealer Fred Martin Motors. Have failed to call me back to set an appt. The dealer says they are waiting for parts. It has been 3 months. Still waiting. Concerned about safety if my vehicle.
