frame. The driver's side door center roller is now showing identical cracking plastic, binding, and imminent failure. This presents an extreme risk of severe crush injuries or trapping passengers. 2. UCONNECT TOUCH SCREEN (ELECTRICAL & VISIBILITY DEFECT): The factory 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment touch screen has suffered an internal hardware failure that causes the screen to flash and strobe violently and continuously, even during system reboots. This flashing creates an intense driver distraction and cabin blinding hazard during night driving, severely compromising road visibility. Furthermore, the failure completely disables the backup safety camera and the ability to operate vehicle defrost and climate safety controls.
My 2018 Chrysler Pacifica suddenly had the AC unit blowing hot air at ~82k miles and 8-years of life. The unit died and as a family vehicle at the start of summer, I'm unable to carry my young children in it in the heat safely as it blows hot air regardless of the specified temp. Took it in for analysis and they found the AC Compressor was the culprit and apparently this is a known issue at Chrysler. I phoned to ask for a good will repair and was told that they can only offer technical assistance to a dealership on such issues. I ultimately decided to file my complaint here.

The windshield fogging up is insanely unsafe. Had to pull over multiple times in rain no matter what the setting are. Recirc, hi low hot cold. Nothing makes it better. I've read several complaints online with the same issue
The side back doors do not work all of a sudden when you push the button on the vehicle frame inside of the van. This is on both sides of the van. They will only shut by pushing buttons on the outside door handles. Also, the windshield wipers will only work on high. There is no intermittent, low, or medium speed working.
Since January 2024, the rearview camera on my 2021 Chrysler Pacifica has functioned inconsistently. I brought the vehicle to Glendale Chrysler Jeep Dodge Ram for this problem, and they informed me it was a known issue with an open service bulletin for a software update, expected in Q3-Q4 2024. Despite this safety concern, I continued to drive the vehicle as no solution was available. Upon the release of the software update, I returned the vehicle, but the update did not resolve the issue. I was then told to await...

another software update. It is now June 2025, and there's another separate recall for this same issue, with a new software update that has also failed to address the safety problem. On July 25th, 2025, I contacted Chrysler because their branded service center is recommending $1,200 in parts and labor to fix an issue that was initially reported under warranty. I believe Chrysler is acting in bad faith and endangering the public by negligently addressing safety concerns and using protracted software updates as an excuse.
First of all, I would like to say that I received an "IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL" notice citing that "certain 2022 Chrysler Pacifica vehicles failed to perform" However, my car's problem, though similar, is not quite the same as the problem mentioned by the Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard" - rear visibility. My car's DRIVERS' SIDE VIEW mirror is the one that poses the problem. When I put the vehicle in reverse, the right-side view mirror adjusts so that I can see the right backside of the vehicle. ...

This, unfortunately, does not occur with the left sideview mirror. I can only see the ground. This an obvious determent to the safety of not only myself, but others as well. When I reported this irregularity to Hunter Dodge, I was told that was just the way the mechanism worked. I was told that there was nothing they could do. No one bothered to check it out. No one seemed concerned. This has been an issue since I purchased the vehicle. I don't know if anyone else has this same issue; but I feel that I am not the only one. This functionality necessary for the prevention of serious injury to pedestrians and/or property. Thank you, in advance for receiving this information.
I left the parking lot and started driving home at about 8:45pm on 3/31 and heard a really loud pop. It sounded like glass and I inspected the windows and panoramic sunroof. The panoramic sunroof glass has shattered on the 2nd row section and has a hole in it. The glass is still making noises like it's continuing to crack.
On June 23, 2024 a NHTSA recall #24V-436 was posted indicating the rear visibility system defaults to the rearview image being visible. To date multiple dealerships and the Chrysler Corporation contacted trying to get this issue remedied. No one seems to have an answer ass to when the update will occur. I contract with a car rental service, TURO, to rent my personal vehicles. Because of this recall TURO will not allow my vehicle to be rented until this issue is resolved. I have to continue making car payments and pay insurance on this vehicle without any income coming in to offset my costs.
The windshield fogs up when it is raining. I will drive for about 30 minutes before it fogs up. Usually the cabin air is blowing through the vents and when the windshield begins to fog I turn on the defroster. It will only work if the heat is turned way up, and the blower is set at the highest setting. When I stop at a traffic light the defroster sounds like it is still blowing but the windows fog up until I cannot see out. I have used my hand to clear a spot in front of my face and I have had to pull over to...

the side of the road and wait for the windshield to clear. yesterday all of the windows fogged up front and the sides. also. I took it to the dealership yesterday and after a quick look was told that I just had to turn the heat up. That is not a solution in the Summer. I have read about other Pacifica's having this same problem. It is terrifying and I don't want to drive when there is a chance of rain anymore. I did have this happen in the Winter when it was snowing a few years ago once or twice.
