Risk of Fire and no information forthcoming as to remedy. Recall was first advised in February. If the vehicle is defective then it either needs to be fixed or bought back by the manufacturer. If it isn-??t then retract the recall. Do something.

Recall Z11 was announced in early February 2022 due to fire risk which prompted Chrysler to issue a recommendation that owners not charge their plug-in hybrid Pacifica Hybrids and to park them outside until the fix was completed. More than six months have passed without subsequent update to resolve this recall, and not only is no part or remedy identified, the underlying cause has yet to be identified. This is after two previous recalls, U94 in October 2018 and W46 in June 2020, which were also announced by Chrysler due to fire risk for the Pacifica Hybrid. Chrysler's guidance of parking the vehicle outside and not plugging it in to charge is unsatisfactory and illogical. The normal operation of the plug-in hybrid system leads to the gasoline engine and regenerative braking charging the high-voltage battery during its "Hybrid Mode" operation even when the vehicle has not been plugged in to charge the high-voltage battery. Based upon other recent fire risk recalls related to vehicles with high-voltage batteries such as the Chevrolet Bolt EV--which has led to numerous manufacturer repurchases and complete battery replacement for all affected models--Chrysler's response is neither timely nor sufficient. It is past time that definitive resolution be provided to owners of vans that have already been affected by two prior fire risk recalls and now have been waiting six months with recommendation to not use the vehicle as designed, marketed, and advertised at the time of sell. Given the unresolved nature of recall Z11, I request action be taken to require manufacturer buybacks of the affected products at this time.

I received a letter from Chrysler instructing not to charge Pacifica hybrid and to park it away from the house because they have experienced several fire. I paid a high price to purchase a plug in hybrid, and when gas prices are at their highest, I am unable to use the electric battery. Most of my driving is done within range of the battery and not being able to charge and use it is very costly.

Recall was issued February 18, 2022. Have not been able to park in garage or plug in charger since recall. Numerous calls and letters and emails have resulted in nothing but sympathy. This recall is definitely not being handled in a timely manner! This idiocy needs to get more attention-??.quickly!

- Sequim, WA, USA

Fire recall is over 6 months old. No word on a fix from Chrysler. I can't charge or park near house due to possible fire from battery. Fix it or buy the car back! The vehicle is a plug in hybrid. Before the recall we would charge every day and fill up the tank every 2-3 months. Now we fill every week. Help.

My vehicle has had an open recall since February for a fire risk with the battery. It is now late July, and there is still no remedy available. The only recommendation is to park the vehicle outside and refrain from recharging it. That recommendation is understandable over the short term, but the recall has now been open for too long, and there has been no communication, update, or most importantly a repair from the manufacturer, which is why I would like to register a complaint to NHTSA.

- Honeoye Falls, NY, USA

Manufacturer has failed to remedy Mfg Recall Z11, NHTSA Recall 22V-077 in a timely manner. Recall letters were issued February 11, 2022 and no remedy is as yet available. This recall prohibits customers from charging the vehicle at the risk of fire, which in turn results in extremely poor mileage during a time when gasoline prices have been soaring. If there has been any time during which the ownership and use of a hybrid vehicle is needed, now is the time given the high prices of fuel. When will a remedy be made available? If one is not forthcoming, then customers should be reimbursed their losses incurred by the low mph results and high fuel prices.

The recall for the vehicle catching fire was issued 22 weeks ago and there is still no remedy. The only option Chrysler is offering is for us to pay over 3 grand a month for a rental and to submit for possible reimbursement each month. I cannot pay over $3,000 a month for a rental vehicle in the hopes of receiving reimbursement which still would not solve that our vehicle is parked right outside one of our bedrooms and it possibly catching fire and burning the house down with it, worries me!! I have four children, I can't just go buy a 3-seated car. They really need to come up with a remedy as of yesterday. How long do they have to provide a remedy for such a dangerous recall? Any help would be much appreciated. There was no accident.. it keeps asking me for that information..

Recall has no solution after months of waiting. I have warnings on dash to service charging system. This is not a fix for the problem. I do not feel safe driving this without the repair. The car has under 18,000 miles on it. I need this bought back by Chrysler so I can get a car that works.

There have been multiple recalls on this vehicle where issues can be fires. MOPAR/Chrysler, in each incident, has advised not to charge our vehicle or even park inside. The latest recall occurred at the beginning of 2022 and there still isn't a remedy. I will be on orders for the US Gov't and now I can't take my car overseas because of this open recall with no remedy. Its unacceptable for us to not charge a plug-in hybrid car when that is the only reason we purchased this car. And to not park in our own garage is ridiculous. Additional costs of gas (since we shouldn't charge) as well as costs for cleanings (parking outdoors) has occurred. And now the inconvenience of figuring what I should do with this car before being deployed overseas has been a real nightmare.

On three seperate occasions over the past five months, I have encountered the same issue. While driving between 75-80mph on the highway with 32-44% life on the hybrid battery, the vehicle has shut off the engine. A message comes up on the cluster that I must put the vehicle in park to drive. The accelerator does nothing and power steering is lost. I must coast off the highway. Once parked, the vehicle is in a state that cannot be turned on/off. The vehicle start button shows that the vehicle is on, but the engine is still off. All other electronics in car like stereo and bluetooth work as the center touchscreen remains active. Touching the start button makes this flicker to off, but it immediately returns to this state. My vehicle has been at the Chrysler dealer twice already and currently is there for a third time to resolve this issue, but they have no solution. This is deadly!

On Friday, 7/12, while my wife, [xxx] along with my 5 children, were sitting at a stoplight in olathe, ks near the intersection of 119th and blackbob, she noticed smoke coming from under the hood. As the light turned green and she accelerated forward, turning West onto 119th St. Within seconds of the light turning green, flames were noticed coming from the underside of the front passenger section of the car. My wife quickly pulled to the side of 119th St, about 50 yards to the West of the intersection with blackbob. She proceeded to help all 5 kids from the vehicle and as they were running away, the vehicle exploded into a fireball. The total time from her seeing smoke to the fireball was less about 4 minutes.

The most recent occurrence- of many- where the vehicle not operating as it was shifted to/ not staying on/or turning off when the ignition button is pressed is as follows. In a (flat) parking lot the van was parked and turned off> the brake was pressed> the ignition button was pressed to turn the van to 'on' and the word 'run' was illuminated- it was running in full electric mode with a battery of ~85% > the shift knob was turned from P to R> the van was reversed out of a parking spot > the brake was pressed and the shift knob was spun to D > the brake was released as the steering wheel was turned to pivot out of the parking lot however the car continued in reverse. At this point I started filming to 'catch' this problem on film since similar reported issues are always 'non duplicate-able' at the dealership. The ignition button showed 'run', the "D" above the shifting knob was blinking blue, there was an orange 'check engine' light type icon showing on the main screen where the message "shift to P to start" was also showing. I had to press on the brake, shift to P, and turn off the car, then turn on the car in order to have the car be able to drive in a forward motion. While this was in a quiet parking lot me sitting in the middle of a lane was not a problem, and thankfully I was not close to the next car while I was reversing since upon shifting to 'd' I continued backwards towards a row of cars. However, I live on a busy street and often have to reverse out onto a 4 lane road where it is imperative that the van move forward when shifted as such to avoid being hit by fast moving traffic. I have also had similar occurrences happen, and frequently have to press the ignition button multiple times to get the van to turn off once parked.

Three notable issues. First, the electrical system randomly crashes and I receive a huge glaring 9-1-1 error screen that the vehicle phone system needs service. Second, the onboard charging system does not charge correctly leading me to believe failure is occuring. Lastly, the drivers automatic side sliding door often malfunctions which could cause injury

Driving on interstate when the car basically lost forward drive in the middle of the highway. Was in traffic, going approximately 5mph with the adaptive cruise control on, braked for slowing traffic and on trying to re-accelerate got no power. And drifted slowly to a stop while trying to re-engage drive. Vehicle is phev, was running on battery with plenty of charge at the time and plenty of gas for hybrid gas engine backup, but neither provided power. Tried unsuccessfully to turn the car off, restart, reset, etc., but nothing worked despite power to dash electronics. Was pushed to shoulder by state police and subsequently towed to dealer....updated 11/03/17 updated 11/9/2017
