All of a sudden the van starts running very hard, trying to stall, the stop/start warning comes on, engine light comes on and the van has a lot of trouble accelerating. If the van will stall in the middle of the road it would put me, my kids and other cars around me at risk, especially if we are on a fast highway. We took it to the dealer last year and they replaced all the coils and now the issue is happening again. No other professionals have inspected the vehicle but we are going to have to probably take it to the dealership to figure out what to do next. It is not safe to drive right now and I have 5 children that need to get safely to school

Start stop light comes on and vehicle goes to limp mode or dies while driving, Check engine light also comes on.
While drivng with the cruise control engaged and encountering a downhill speed increase of about 5 MPH, the transmission kicks down to engage engine breaking. However as the process starts, first the engine revs and will increase vehicle speed by about 5 MPH. An example is cruise set at 60, down hill increases speed to 65, engine rev results in 70 MPH speed requiring heavy braking to regain control. I have tested this without the cruise engaged by shifting from D to L and engaging the kickdown process and engine...

accelleration in an identical manner. I have viewed the Chrysler Owner Forum and found many complaints of this occurance on Pacifica modesl since 2017. Most suggest it is a software problem. No component failed. My safety and the safety of others are at risk for the sudden increase in speed and demand for increased heavy braking. I have not contact the dealer since I have read all the prior Pacfica complaints and I believe Chrysler knows of the problem. No one has inspected the vehicle. No warnings are presented prior to the sudden accelleration. My vehicle can demonstrate this fault at any time or place.

power steering hose, at 17,812 miles had to replace rotors & brakes both sides (3rd set on vehicle), at 20,662 replaced cowl clip/sealed up front windshield/replaced sway bar(3rd set on vehicle), at 20,900 replaced hose/vapor canister. At 22,422 replaced sop/cowl panel. The above issues have all been done during the dates 04-07-03 to 07-20-05. Our concern is if any other complaints have come in on the same issue or is it possible this is just a bad vehicle. It seems to be in the shop every 2 to 3 months. Also, since the brakes/rotors/sway bar continue to be replaced our concern it that sometime it may fail and result in injury or death. Seems the pieces that are being replaced have had to be replaced several times, making us question if something on the vehicle is off in the building of this vehicle to cause such wear and tear on main items that you use to steer and move the vehicle with. The old parts are not available, we did try to ask the dealer for the old brakes but was advised they could not give as they need to have a evidence to get the 1st set paid for and the 2nd set was set up for us to pay a portion of the bill. *Nm
Transmission failed, ( I have 35+ more pages of defects ) *jb
There was a howling noise coming from vehicle. The dealer was contacted and was unable to the duplicate the problem. *Ak the dealer suggested it was a customary noise. The dealer replaced the catalytic converter, but the sound still existed. The van was taken again and the exhaust manifold was replaced but there was still no result. (This was the 5th time taken to the dealer with no result) the noise seemed to come when accelerating. *Scc *jb
