Chrysler Pacifica hybrid problems
The Chrysler Pacifica is a minivan produced by the Chrysler division of Stellantis. It is unrelated to the discontinued crossover and concept vehicles by the same name and replaced the Chrysler Town & Country for the 2017 model year. It is positioned as the higher-end Chrysler minivan, above the Dodge Grand Caravan until 2020 and above the Chrysler Voyager (rebadged as the Chrysler Grand Caravan in Canada) since 2020.
The minivan is produced with two powertrains, a 3.6 L gasoline-powered engine and a plug-in hybrid. The plug-in hybrid version has a 16-kWh lithium-ion battery that can propel the car up to 33 mi (53 km) on electric power alone. The gasoline-only version of the Pacifica minivan went on sale in mid-2016, while the plug-in hybrid version became available in early 2017.
History
Development
In June 2013, it was reported that Chrysler was preparing to produce a new generation of its Town & Country minivan at the Windsor Assembly Plant, with production set to begin in 2015 and a release for the 2017 model year. An industry analyst reported that the new version would possibly be a crossover utility vehicle in the vein of the Pacifica.
In 2015, FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne announced that it would invest $2 billion in developing a new minivan, and overhauling the Windsor Assembly Plant to facilitate its production. A company issued plan of future vehicles revealed that a new Town & Country would begin production in February 2016 for the 2017 model year, and that the final-generation Dodge Grand Caravan would be maintained in parallel with the new Town & Country as a lower-cost option during the 2017 model year, after which it will be discontinued. Marchionne has been against "duplicate investments" in product development—a strategy reflected by his reduction of badge-engineering between FCA US's domestic marques.
On November 3, 2015, FCA filed to have its trademark registration on the Pacifica brand renewed; FCA's Head of Passenger Car Brands Timothy Kuniskis denied that this was related to any new products and that it was standard industry practice to continue renewing its trademarks because "you don't want to lose names. Establishing new names is expensive."

Dodge has really hit the mark with this one! The latest safety and electronic gadgets are all included, and the interior has a classy feel that makes it seem like a much more expensive car. The ride is smooth and quiet, and after four months of use, we've only had to fill up at the gas station once. Even better, we've been able to run all of our errands on pure electric power in our mid-sized city, and the car handles beautifully in electric mode. While it may come at a premium price, this van is an excellent investment with mind-boggling gas mileage. Overall, we couldn't be happier with our purchase!

The Pacifica Hybrid is an impressive vehicle from FCA, offering a comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. I personally chose the subtle red with a beautiful mocha interior, which rivals any luxury car. The seats are perfect for the mid-size male, but the height adjustment for the driver's seat may not suffice for a 5ft tall female driver. However, the visibility is superb for such a large vehicle. The driving dynamics, hushed sound levels, and comfortable ride make it the ideal vehicle for families who need to transport their elderly parents, adult children, and grandchildren. The EVT transmission and range are superior to the gas-only version, and installing a level 2 charger in your garage will help you get the most out of this vehicle. With 34 mpg in combined city and highway driving, it's also an efficient choice. The infotainment system is second to none, making it a great choice for anyone who values technology. Overall, I believe this vehicle is a game changer and puts Chrysler back on the map. It's a great choice for anyone who wants a reliable, high-quality vehicle for everyday use or long-distance road trips with their extended family. Kudos to Chrysler!

Most dealers were not willing to sell at invoice, which doesn't mean much anyway as it was only a little over $100 less than MSRP. It's difficult to know the actual cost these days, as dealers are paid based on monthly volume sold. However, I was fortunate enough to find a dealer who was willing to sell the hybrid at what they called employee pricing. That worked out to a little over $3k off MSRP, so I took the leap and made the purchase.
Are you having problems with your Chrysler Pacifica hybrid?

Chrysler advertises a towing capability of 3600lb, but it's important to note that adding a towing package will void the power train warranty. Additionally, the owners manual, which is not provided until after purchasing the vehicle, clearly states that the vehicle is not permitted to tow. It's disappointing that Chrysler would mislead customers in this way. If you're looking for a trustworthy car manufacturer, consider Honda.

In late 2018, we purchased a van to take advantage of the tax incentive. Unfortunately, the van we received was an early 2018 build and had several defects. Despite these issues, we were able to work with the dealer to address them. While there were some challenges along the way, we are pleased with the van's performance and fuel efficiency. Overall, we are confident in our decision to purchase this van and look forward to using it for years to come.

The minivan is very comfortable and comes with great features such as adaptive cruise control and cabin noise cancellation. I did have some expectations for the Hybrid Powertrain, but unfortunately, it hasn't met them. Even when charged to 100%, the engine turns on almost every time you start the car, which can be frustrating. I wish it would operate more like a plug-in hybrid, allowing me to drive on electric when the battery is at 100%. Despite this, the van is still a great choice, although it only gets about 25.4 mpg, which is a bit disappointing. Overall, I would recommend it as a good van, but not necessarily as a good plug-in hybrid.
Edmund Brown 2024-07-02

I'm so excited to have made the switch to an electric plug-in vehicle! Although I was a bit hesitant to purchase the Pacifica hybrid, given the recent recall, I decided to take a chance and go for it. Unfortunately, I've experienced a few issues since owning it, including odd color rendition on the rearview camera and a message to enter a security code to unlock the radio. I even had to tow it to the dealer when it wouldn't start after charging all night. Despite these setbacks, my kids absolutely love the seats and comfort, and they're always using the interactive screens to watch movies and YouTube. Overall, I'm still happy with my purchase and hopeful that any remaining issues will be resolved soon.
