Owner reports filed with NHTSA, as written (personal details removed). Complaints are not verified by NHTSA.

Electrical System · reported Nov 10, 2026
My 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Plug-in Hybrid experienced repeated electrical system failures that rendered the vehicle inoperable. The vehicle would not enter READY mode or shift into gear, displayed a "Service Charging System" warning, and stopped displaying the high-voltage battery's state of charge. The vehicle also reported diagnostic trouble codes U0111 (lost communication with the battery control module) and U0412 (invalid data received from the battery control module). The repeated failures left the vehicle unable to provide propulsion despite the high-voltage battery having sufficient…
Steering · reported Nov 3, 2026
When driving on the road and slight turning of the steering wheel from 11-1 o' clock position, the steering locks or gets stuck and I have to apply extra force to turn the steering wheel to get it to turn OK.
Steering · reported Oct 26, 2026
I am experiencing an issue with the steering in my vehicle, in which the steering wheel shutters and rattles/shakes when making turns. This happens mostly when turning left at slow speeds, but also sometimes when turning right. The shuttering and shaking typically happens around the 11 and 1 o'clock position. This issue is very worrisome, as I am afraid that the power steering will completely fail one day, leading to a crash. I am also having an issue in which the start/stop system shuts down in the middle of driving the vehicle around town. More than half of the time that I drive it, the…
Engine · reported Oct 19, 2026
At 105,000 miles the check engine light came on, at which point the vehicle experienced rough starts and a rough idle. Vehicle also began emitting white/gray smoke from the exhaust upon starting. Upon diagnosis it was determined that coolant was leaking into #4 cylinder requiring head gasket replacement. Total repair came to $4,287.07. This is a known issue commonly being experienced by other Pacifica owners. This major mechanical issue is a safety issue and could easily have stranded my family on the road. We were fortunate to have been home and located near a known and trusted mechanic when…
