I'm tired of the "it lacks the best feature of the non-hybrid model" BS

for example: Our 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Is a Good Idea Poorly Executed After 40,000 miles with the electrified Pacifica, we find its gasoline sibling is superior, except for fuel economy. www.caranddriver.com Although we've criticized the Pacifica hybrid in comparison with its gasoline-drinking counterpart, there's no denying the plug-in's exclusive format. Sure, it skips the best features that are otherwise available on the regular Pacifica (see: ingenious Stow 'n Go seats and priceless built-in vacuum)... Absolutely every reviewer I've...

Question on Mopar Warranty Claims and Fine Print

I can only find Mopar brochures on the maximum care warranty. Is there a document available online with all the terms and conditions? For example are there any things that can void the warranty? What if you don't follow the maintenance schedule exactly as recommended getting things checked out or do maintenance yourself like oil changes? I didn't see anything in the manual about getting belts, or pumps replaced. What counts as a claim? Say you have a $200 deductible and something cheap...

Uconnect excessive notifications

I took delivery of my Pac hybrid almost 2 weeks ago. A few days ago I was finally able to get the uconnect app and siriusxm guardian setup. I am getting multiple notifications on my phone of Charging Start and Charging complete. Sometimes I am getting 4 an hour. I go to the settings in the app and there are no notification settings for charging. I uninstalled the app and reinstalled it. Same issue. At this point I disabled all notifications from uconnect in my phones settings. I'm... Uconnect excessive notifications

Best phone mileage app for PHEV

Coming from a regular hybrid I just used to track my gas fill-ups, but now I think I need to move to a new app that can handle two tanks of mixed fuels. I see a few that do this. Does anyone have a recommendation on any particular ones? I don't need to track this for any IRS expenses, if that matters. Any tips on how to track both fuel types together? Do I put in the electric charges as a fuel but not as as a "filled tank" and only mark it as a filled tank when I top off the gas? Anything... Best phone mileage app for PHEV

Georgia hybrid owners, HOV, HOT lane access

One of the huge Pachy selling points for me was getting to use the HOV and HOT lanes for free. So I go into the tag office to get my super special new tag and plate just to find out that it's going to cost me $250 a year just to renew. I'm mulling over the idea of it and was wondering if anyone else on this forum has it. Also, if you have it, do you still have to fumble around with the PeachPass app and get a transponder sticker?

Underbody protector loose

New 2021 PacHy Limited owner. I noticed there is a thick felt protective "mat" that goes along much of the bottom of the vehicle. But part of it is pretty flimsy and sort of sags downward. It doesn't look like there's anything loose, though. Anyone else notice this? Is it normal?

Nav Icons

I was playing with the navigation settings and found I could change the icons to one of four preselected. Two different arrows, a hexagon for whatever reason , and a white Chrysler 300??????? Why is a 300 an icon for a Pacifica???

Red turtle in my 2nd day of ownership

We picked up our Pacifica Hybrid Limited on Friday (1/3/2020) night; the next morning when we pressed the Start button, I heard the engine sound, then check engine light and red turtle sign were shown on dashboard. Turned off the van immediately and waited about 10 minutes to start the van again, the check engine light and red turtle sign were still on, and I noticed that the electric range is not shown while the battery was at 98%. Contacted the sales person about the error, he asked me to... Red turtle in my 2nd day of ownership

Just bought new 2021 pachy… oil has only 58% life

Hi we just bought a new pachy. We upgraded from a 2020 regular. The car had 45 miles on it (now 200) and was manufactured in december. Loaded up uconnect and it says oil has only 58% life left. I remember our 2020 took like 5k miles to reach that point and had the same length of time. Is this a concern? Does hybrid oil need to be changed more frequently?
