2019 Chrysler Pacifica

During normal driving from office to home car suddenly started stuttering and I was apply break but speeded up and showed engine light on, I was about to hit front car due to additional speed. During that time I saw few quick messages on the dashboard, the one that I can remember was related with ACC. That's the dangerous situation. I looked d from OBD and found that code was U0412 and reported that code to Huntington Beach Chrysler service station. Please keep an eye out for some similarities between others reports.

After taking my car in for the recall on the battery which required a system update, I’ve had multiple errors that the Chrysler service department cannot resolve. Four times in the last two weeks when I get in the car and crank it, it will not go into drive or the shifter does not work at all. I’m having multiple errors on saying service shifter and service electrical battery that had never occurred before the system recall update. I’ve been stranded multiple times in the last two weeks. It must be related to the recall update that was done in my car. It cannot be a sheer coincidence that I never had issues until the update. The service department is not helpful in anyway and returns my car with no answer. Simple google research shows this is a recurring issue after the update.

Component failute: first the cruse control would stop working while driving. then the engine would rive way up while trying to accelerate and not gain much speed, gas mpg dropped. when breaking to stop i had to push the break pedal harder. when the cruse had stopped and i shut the engine off, it was hard to start, and would bump and shake as if it was hitting on 2 cylinders, cruse still would not work. after i made it home, the next time i started it, it was ok, then the last time i parked it the brake will not depress and it will not start. battery has 12 volts, jumped it anyway break still want depress. took battery cables off shorted them together , did not help. break pedal still will not depress.

I am having an issue with the monitor in vehicle. For several months now have and issue with the backup camera some times working and sometimes it doesn't. It will sometimes be gray or black but will show the lane lines but no outside picture. It will also sometimes show the backup camera but it will be froze and does not move with the vehicle. Saturday had and issue where the monitor was ghost touching the buttons on the screen; it was turning the channel and also changing the air conditioner. I had to cut the radio and monitor off so the air would work properly. was reading online where some people were having this same issue and was saying it was being recalled for software issues, but with my vin number shows no recalls at all. just wondering if this is a issue that should be recalled on these vehicles or if there is another reason for it. If it happens again I will surely get pictures or video evidence since there is an option on here for it.

when driving into a left curve the chrysler pacifica minivan at roughly 10:00 on the steering wheel, the steering wheel locks and is very hard to get out of the locked state. in order to clear the locked state I have to jerk the wheel hard back to the right to get it free. I feel that it will eventually either stay locked in that position and cause a head on collision or if overcorrected will cause the vehicle to swerve to the right and cause a crash. I feel this is a very unsafe situation and have talked to many people with this problem and they have also said the same thing. Also i have read several forums on the internet about others across the country having the same issue. secondly the backup camera has started to not work recently. it started around the same time that the locked steering situation occurred. also some of the buttons on the steering wheel are not functioning properly. volume up when pressed causes the volume to go down and vice versa. i believe that there is an electrical issue in this vehicle and it is affecting the steering along with other items. please initiate the recall for the steering because i do not feel safe with this happening and especially if it is raining. thank you

After safety recall 72B was performed on my 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid on 7/17/25, the vehicle's check engine light illuminated and it began experiencing charging failures. I've never experienced these issues prior to the recall being performed and the vehicle returned to me. The component that has failed is the high-voltage (HV) battery pack and its control system. Diagnostic scans performed by a Chrysler dealer on 7/29/25 confirmed trouble codes, which indicate a critical fault within the battery system. The HV battery is available for inspection upon request. My safety and the safety of others are at risk because the recall was issued to prevent a battery fire. The symptoms my vehicle is exhibiting are precisely the kinds of faults the recall's software update is supposed to detect. The first warning signs, including the check engine light, appeared within days of the recall service. This strongly indicates the recall procedure, specifically the mandatory battery integrity test, was not completed correctly by the dealership. This is a widespread issue, with numerous owners reporting the same post-recall failures online and to Chrysler Cares customer service. Chrysler is not taking this failed recall seriously and are forcing owners to pay for their own rental vehicles while they investigate the "undriveable" vans post-recall completion.
