We just purchased the used 2022 Pacifica today., it was 75 miles back home. I left to get Dairy Queen; I turned left onto side road into Norton commons and an alert came up Stop safely your car will slow down soon. Very scary with a family and newb and kids and wife. Especially because cost bought it. Perhaps I should return it!
While driving on a highway (never at slower speeds), a message will display on the dash that says "Stop Safely, Vehicle will shut off soon." The car then begins to decelerate and I have less than a minute to pull off the road. This issue began in December 2023. The car has been with the dealership from Feb 16 to present (April 4).
The contact owns a 2022 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving at 35 MPH, the vehicle stalled. The contact steered to the side of the road and received assistance from a Police Officer who disconnected and reconnected the battery. On another occasion, while driving at 75 MPH the contact stated that the vehicle stalled.
Week of 6/18/23 vehicle began flashing codes- service electronic stability control, lanes sense unavailable service required, AWD system unavailable and several warning lights appearing on dash. Took to dealership replaced STAR connector. Still same issues. Took to another dealership replaced ABS module. Still same issues.
I was driving around 15 mph and the van suddenly lost all electrical and engine power. I could not drive and none of the instruments were working. I could not turn on the emergency blinkers / hazard lights. I could not restart the van. No buttons were working. The van came to a stop with some bad sounds from the engine.
