2019 Chrysler Pacifica Maintenance Schedule

“The steering wheel locks up partially when you turn the wheel making it super dangerous when driving. It’s done it for as long as I have had the vehicle. There was never any warning messages prior to the problem. I have not had it inspected by anyone. Unknown if it’s been reproduced by dealer.”

“The contact owns a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that while driving at higher speeds, the steering wheel failed to return to center after making a turn to the left or the right. No warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local independent mechanic for a diagnostic…”

“Steering will stick at the 11 o’clock or 1 o’clock position while going around curves at highway speed and takes considerable force to get it back .”

“The following message displays on the vehicle: “Stop Safely. Vehicle Will Shut Off Soon.” Upon receiving the message, the vehicle will stall. This has occurred multiple times while driving on the freeway at 70 mph, while driving on city streets, etc. Every time the vehicle stalls, it is INCREDIBLY dan…”

“06AUG25: At a stop light vehicle lost all power. Accessories worked. Vehicle stated to press on break and press start to turn on car. Did not start. Towed to dealership. Dealership stated was software update needed. Car did start. With no additional errors presented at diagnostic. 12AUG25: On highway…”

“Car was stopped at a red light and shifted on its own into park”

“The head gasket leaks, full engine replacement is recommended. No accidents, only 79k miles on the engine.”

“Around 79,000 miles, my 2019 Pacifica experienced check engine error codes. Upon diagnostics by a repair shop, found that the engine coolant was leaking into the engine due to a bad head gasket and that the engine cylinders were damaged and the only repair is a full engine replacement. The car has been…”

“Van has 55,000 miles on it. Not overheating but noticed coolant reservoir keeps needing to be topped off daily. Also, just received check engine light code for cylinder 5. Shop diagnosed as head gaskets and now need an engine replacement. Absolutely unacceptable for a vehicle with such low miles.”

“The transmission is starting to jerk and make hard abrupt transitions from gears”

“The transmission is very unresponsive and dealerships don’t find anything wrong other than resetting the computer every 2 days. The transmission clunks and jerks the car going into 2nd and or 3rd gear. Many times I press the pedal in highway/city driving and the transmission takes 2.5 to 3 seconds to re…”

“The van started with very jerky shifting around 70,000 miles. The car would, at times, lurch hard forward when shifting. Eventually, a Chrysler dealer looked at the transmission and determined it needed replaced. The replacement transmission started with the same problems after about 20,000 miles. Van…”

“Brakes hiss and won't slow the car down well. Issue is with the brake booster. The car creep forward or sometimes not stop in time. the peddle pushes back against you when depressing it.”

“My breaks stopped worked due to a failed brake booster. I would compress the brake and it would let out air and not adequately stop. When it did finally stop, it would propel me forward. This became very dangerous for my family and I”

“The vehicle's brake booster is going out. The vehicle's warranty was already extended once but is now out of that 5-year timeframe. This issue began about 2 weeks ago. Now, the brake pushes back and doesn't want to engage which poses the risk of rear-ending someone. Chrysler is aware of this situation…”

“The contact owns a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid. The contact received notification of NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V538000 (HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM); however, the part to do the recall repair was not yet available. The local dealer was made aware of the issue and confirmed that parts were not yet availabl…”

“Over six months later, NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V538000 still has no remedy for an apparent fire risk! I can't charge my vehicle and I can't park it in my own garage. I drive at risk of being in the midst of a spontaneous fire! THE MANUFACTURER has failed or is unable to remedy this safety recall for m…”

“Chrysler issued recall 72B back in July but has failed to provide a repair solution to the issue of a high voltage battery fire. They have advised to park the vehicle away from structures and to not charge. It's disappointing not to have a resolution or fix for this issue, especially going into the col…”

“Radio Uconnect resets every 3 to 5 minutes. When this happens screen goes black. If backing no warning on what is behind you. GPS is resetting with wrong location. Wireless calls stop. This has been a problem across all FCA brands and an issue since 2017. I had 2018 Pacifica with same issues. I believe…”

“The Uconnect 4 infotainment system is consistently rebooting every 2-3 minutes, leaving several safety measures for the vehicle from being used during those times. This leaves risk that the safety feature is not usable when needed for example rear warning for small child behind vehicle is not operable.…”

“The infotainment system keeps resetting with screen going black and restarting. This is distracting and I lose data such as directions if I am using navigation. This could lead to driver distraction and risk of accidents. I think that this is a firmware issue and UConnect should provide a fix.”

“We have automatic sliding doors. My six-year-old son was exiting a door that he didn't know was closing, and it closed on his head. It did NOT stop or retract when it hit an obstruction. It kept going. If I hadn't been right by the button and hit it, it could have crushed him or killed him. There was n…”

“I had my three children in the van and was holding our new baby as I opened the automatic passenger-side sliding door. It opened part way, got stuck, but the autotrack kept operating trying to open the door. At that point, the whole door fell off and the window immediately behind the door broke. We had…”

“My [XXX] grandson was getting out the automatic sliding door passenger side. His head was in the way and he door button was hit and the door started to close. It closed on his head and he had to force the door open because it didn’t do what it was supposed to do. If a small child was in the door it wou…”
