Engine 3,000 mi 1.5 yr in service
ENGINE HAS SHUT OFF ON ITS OWN 3 SEPARATE OCCASIONS SINCE PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE 4 MONTHS AGO. FIRST OCCASION I WAS COMING TO A STOP AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. SECOND TIME I WAS STARTING UP FROM A TRAFFIC LIGHT AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. THIRD TIME I WAS DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH AND THE ENGINE SHUT OFF. ALL INSTANCES WERE ON A CITY STREET. I HAD TO PRESS THE START/STOP BUTTON. THEN PRESS IT AGAIN WHILE PRESSING THE BRAKE TO TURN THE CAR BACK ON AFTER PUTTING THE VEHICLE BACK IN PARK. THIS ISSUE IS WIDELY DESCRIBED ON OLDER YEARS OF THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA.
Engine mileage not reported 2.9 yr in service
While stopped at a red light, the vehicle automatically put itself into park, activated the parking break, and turned off. Had to power the vehicle back on while still at the red light, turn off the parking break and put it back into drive.
Engine 32,000 mi 3.0 yr in service
The contact owns a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated while driving approximately 65 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact stated no warning light was illuminated. The contact parked on the side of the road and attempted several times before the vehicle restarted and was able to drive to his residence. The contact stated he continued to experience the failure while driving. The contact took the vehicle to a local dealer however, the mechanic was unable to duplicate the failure. The manufacturer had been informed of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 32,000.
Other mileage not reported 3.3 yr in service
Auto stop and start failed while driving causing the vehicle to not start back up at a stop light when the light turned green. It took shutting the ignition off and restarting the vehicle to get going again. This created an unsafe situation in traffic that very well could have resulted in an accident due to the brakes being released and tail lights going out and the vehicle stalling instead of taking off. Had the driver behind me not been paying attention I would have been rear ended. Message currently displayed on dash shows auto start,stop disabled and needs serviced.
