"Year2006 make/modelchrysler pacifica mileageabout 99,000 driving for 13+ years; had been getting check engine and abs signs on dashboard now and then for about 6 years; in humid days recurrences were more than in colds."
"Transmission has been problematic for the past two years. We have had it checked twice but nothing can be found during the inspection. It shifts very roughly by jolting you forward when you are accelerating from a slow speed or at times when you are coasting as well with no foot on gas or break."
"At low speeds when shifting into 2nd gear the car slips, rpm's raise and then it suddenly and aggressively jerks into 2nd gear."
"I bought my 2017 Chrysler Pacifica in 2018, and it would randomly jump gears while accelerating or stay in a higher gear. The dealership could not duplicate the problem for months. In May 2019, it threw a check engine light code of P0732. This was then repaired at a Chrysler dealer."
"Since purchasing 10/1/2016 there have been at least 5 - 6 times where the vehicle cut out but did not die. this appears to me to be a defect in the transmission yet the dealer could not locate and fix this issue."
All reports filed by vehicle owners directly with the U.S. Department of Transportation.
