2024 Chrysler Pacifica Engine problems

dashboard icon. 4. Electrical failure cascading to the interior control panel and displays, which flickered and went entirely dark while the vehicle was still rolling. 5. Abrupt, un-commanded physical engagement of the Electronic Parking Brake (EPB) as the vehicle slowed down, locking the rear wheels on a live road. 6. Total electrical blackout, rendering the hazard lights completely inoperable and leaving a dead vehicle entirely un-illuminated in active traffic.

I started my engine . The same problem came back again many times since then. I googled it and found that this is very serious problem which may lead fire .i would like to report this issue now.

reduced-power/limp-mode condition. Pressing the accelerator does not result in normal acceleration, creating a serious safety hazard in traffic. Most recently, on June 4, 2026, this occurred approximately six times during a single trip. During one incident, the warning lights illuminated, the vehicle lost acceleration, and we were forced to pull over with emergency flashers activated in a dangerous location. A police officer came upon us, stopped to assist, and advised that the location was extremely dangerous. Because I use a power wheelchair, I cannot safely transfer into a standard vehicle, taxi, rideshare, or other transportation. We explained to the officer that if the van were to be towed, I would effectively be stranded because there was no practical way to transport me in my power wheelchair. The condition later cleared and we were able to continue. The vehicle has been inspected multiple times by Chrysler service departments and DriveMaster, the local mobility provider working with Freedom Motors. The problem has been reported repeatedly but is intermittent and has not been reproduced during inspections. Despite multiple repair attempts, the problem persists. The vehicle is available for inspection. These recurring loss-of-power events create a serious safety risk for myself, my family, and other motorists.

live in a city with paved streets, a subdivision with paved streets, and have a concrete driveway at our home. They said they have sent me emails with the pictures which I have yet to recieve. I went to the dealer and asked them to jack up my van so I can see the damage personally and they don't have a lift available at the time, so I told them I would be back in town at a certain time from work and to call me so I could see it and they have yet to show me the scuffed IDCM module or the dented muffler. We haven't run over anything to cause this kind of damage to a module like this because all the hybrid batteries are under the van. If the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid is so cheaply made for a $62,000 vehicle that something can "scuff" a module housing and shut a vehicle down, this is potentially very dangerous if someone were driving on the highway if it were to shutdown and someone (including myself or any of my family) were driving and lose all propulsion and steering (because it's electric steering) or worse braking! It could be catastrophic with people dying. This needs to be investigated to see how fragile this component is and if they need to "toughen" it up or re-locate it. Versus trying to get by and get around paying warranty claims or hoping nothing happens until the units break down after the warranty period not knowing of the Safety hazard they have created for their vehicle owners and the driving public.

drive on the highway and I no longer feel safe in my car. I know there is an open investigation for model years 2017-2023, but unfortunately ours is a 2024 so is not in that investigation.

"What if the vehicle had stopped running on the major highways full of traffic"? Please note, this is also a well-known issue starting from the 2021 Chrysler Pacifica models. Additionally, a similar incident occurred to another similar make model in Sept. 2024 with VIN # [[redacted]] . It seemed like, when I received the message, the vehicle's computer system interlocks fuel supply and chokes up the brakes to the wheels so the vehicle is completed locked up in one position and it does not do rolling stop to safely pull over to the side of the road. This is very dangerous because if a semi-truck with 80,000 lbs. load is coming behind you, you will NOT be able to move your vehicle to the side. This can potentially kill all the occupants in the vehicle. This vehicle has been towed to the dealer to troubleshoot/resolve the issue. Thank you so much in advance for looking into this issue urgently. INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

reset and said I should be OK to go. I was leaving on vacation in a couple of days and gave me the OK to drive. Drove to SC from Ohio and all went well until the third day is when it happened once again...... 2nd time while in SC: Dash board gave warning, stop safely vehicle will shut off soon....engine shut down as I was turning left in traffic. Van was running on the batteries hybrid system with 26% left of charge. I took the van to a dealership to make sure it would be safe for us to drive home. They too plugged it into a computer and information came up about the battery. The tech told me it would be OK to drive home. They did not reset as they told me to take it to my home dealership to have them document the issue. Made it home safely, thank goodness. Dealership had the car for a week. They were told by Chrysler to open a case for the battery issues before they would OK ordering a new battery. They had my car for a week and Chrysler told them to reset and give the van back to me and have me drive the vehicle to see if it would happen again. My dealership shared with them it had happened twice but Chrysler refused to allow them to order a new battery and repeated to give the vehicle back to the owner after a reset and have the owner drive and see if it happens again. My feeling is Chrysler has no regard for my or my families safety. I did have the same experience with another hybrid Chrysler van I rented going 70 MPH on PA turnpike.
