We purchased a 2022 Pacifica Hybrid in Feb of 2024 that is still under full factory warranty. We had the vehicle serviced once for A/c issues and it's regularly scheduled 30k mile service in April and May. [XXX] our van had a. Catastrophic failure in Texas, where it has remained since June 1st. The deep cycle hybrid battery overheated, making it inoperable. They have replaced the deep cycle hybrid battery twice-those batteries run 15-16k$, plus the additional parts and labor. Stellantis customer service promised rental reimbursement for the 2 vehicles we had to rent to continue our trip to Arizona. Then they declined to reimburse for both. They also stated they would pay for rentals ongoing while our van was in Texas and after we rented a van for two additional weeks, refused to pay for that. We requested a buyback at week 7 and that was denied. Two weeks ago, they stated the van was repaired and it sat in Texas while the dealership argued with Stellantis customer service about who was responsible for returning our van. Finally chrysler agreed to ship it to us and while the area manager was driving the van to the loading point for the shipping company, it had the same catastrophic failure. Chrysler had it towed to a different dealership in Texas and that dealership says they are going to start over and hopefully they can diagnose the issue fully, but they will have to replace the battery for a. 3rd time, totaling 4 batteries in 3 months or 64k$..The vehicle purchase price was 42k$. We purchased extensive extended warranties. We put down 24,500$ in cash and trade. We have since found out that a dealer in New Jersey put this car back on the market after they knew there was something wrong with it and made it someone else's problem. The selling dealership had no way of knowing the vehicle battery would overheat in the summer, as they purchased it from auction in November and sold it to us in Feb.

4 incidents total (3 on the freeway, once just getting out of a parking area), accelerator won’t work and car makes a beep with the following message “Stop Safely, Vehicle will shutoff soon” Was able to pull to the side of the freeway turn off and on the car, lock it and unlock it; then I was able to drive again with the check engine light on. Took the car to Chrysler dealer on Monday but they said they didn’t see any faults. I was driving with my wife and kids and this was extremely dangerous. Stopping and getting out of the car on a freeway with car passing at 65+ miles per hour. I am concerned if my wife encounters the issue on the freeway and not pulling safely to the side, her or the kids can get into a terrible accident. Here are some dates and details: 3/28/24 Stop safely vehicle will stop soon Parked 3 days 3/31/24 engine line on 4-1-24 no lights; car serviced 6/1/2024 stop safely (just got in the car in Thousand Oaks after lunch ) 6/2/2024 twice on the freeway 6/3/2024 spoke with dealer, he transferred me to appointments; lady at appointments told me June 17 2024 is the nearest appointment.

Driving on highway and got a message saying "Stop Safely - Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon". Pulled over to the shoulder before the engine stopped once. researched the issue and tried to drive to a dealership. Stayed in right lane and the issue happened a second time with the same message displaying and this time, I actually did lose propulsion, but was able to safely park on the shoulder again.

On three separate days (2/27, 3/18, 3/29), the vehicle has shown a message saying “Stop safely, Vehicle will shut off soon”. The ability to accelerate is cut off. This has happened twice while on the highway, requiring a move across lanes to pull over safely due to loss of acceleration. After turning the car off, the car is able to turn back. The check engine light remains on for the next trip, but turns off on its own by the next day. This is a vehicle which was recently serviced for the following recalls: 1. NHTSA 23V-010 (unexpected engine shut down) completed on 1/16 2. FCA Campaign 47A (squealing serpentine belt) completed on 2/11

I was driving on [XXX] in Virginia, speed limit is 70mph, a warning flashed in the screen: “Stop Safely, Vehicle will Shut Off Soon.” The car immediately began decelerating, I pulled off the highway and restarted the car, but it would only drive very slowly (approx 15mph). After restarting two more times, it was able to drive normally. This is the second such incident, the car is under warranty. The first incident happened [XXX] and I brought the car to the dealer, Chrysler of Culpepper, Va. Their service department told me that they were unable to replicate the event after the first incident and it was likely just a computer glitch that has corrected itself. I have another service appointment scheduled, but they seem to be clueless on how to fix this incredibly dangerous problem.

The vehicle warning said it would shut down and to pull over immediately (the "Loss of Motive Power" issue known to these vehicles). THe vehicle is available as it has been sitting at the dealership waiting for the transmission for FOUR MONTHS. This occurred on 8/19/23 and as of today, 12/20/23, the transmission is yet to be replaced. I was driving on a 70mph highway with my two small children in the backseat. It was terrifying to lose power steering and the inability to accelerate. I had to pull over on the busy highway and turn off the van, wait a little bit, then turn it back on. I made it about another 1-2 miles when it did it AGAIN. I did the same thing, turned it off/on again, and then made it to the next exit to wait for a tow truck. Yes, this is the known Transmission issue with the Pacifica Hybrids made through Jan 2023. This was confirmed by the Chrysler dealership I had it towed to and inspected by then, there was no police or insurance report. It has not been test-driven or reproduced, to my knowledge, as they know what the issue is and have been waiting for four months to fix it. The dash displayed the known warning with this issue immediately when it happened the two times it occurred, there was no warning beforehand or any symptoms of any issue with the vehicle. The dash displayed "Stop Safely. Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon."
