What owners wrote

We have had a few continuing problems since the original purchase of a 2017 chrysler pacifica braunability van. The car has had electrical issues and on 3 or 4 occasions has suddenly shut off or stopped working. One time may have been related to a car accident my husband was in. He collided with another car in 2018, immediately after the accident the car was not running, but he hadn't turned it off.

Reported at 4,000 miles, May 2018 CrashInjury

While waiting at a red light my auto stop/start system automatically activated as usual. However, this time when the light turned green the engine did not automatically start. Instead, the vehicle stalled. The car was in drive and my foot was on the brake pedal. A warning chime alerted me to the problem. Also, a message instructed me to turn the car off and the put it into park and restart it. After turning the car off and then on the car moved.
