O2 Sensor - May 2022???

Couple of weeks ago, the Check Engine light came on on my 2020 PacHy (about 5500 miles). Took it to the dealership; it was the O2 sensor. They reset the light, but it came back on. Took it back to the dealership. They ordered a new part, but it turns out that this part won't come from Chrysler until May of 2022. Sincerely? Anyone else having this issue? Anything I can/should do in the meantime? I'm a little concerned about just driving around with the Check Engine light on. What... O2 Sensor - May 2022???

Just got our van back after 7+ weeks at dealership service, over 700 miles from our home. Here's the story so far.

I didn't think we'd ever end up being one of 'those stories', but here we go. I'm hoping this info (and the service details at the end of this post) will help others who may be in our situation. I'm also not going to name the dealership, they did a decent job with what they had and were friendly throughout the process (although had to push on them slightly in one situation). We bought a 2018 Pacifica Hybrid Limited new in late 2018 (and put about 25k trouble free miles on it). Later...

Initial Impressions of Pinnacle at 500 Miles

The following is in no particular order of importance. Am utilizing electric mode far more than expected and still have 5/8s of the original tank of gas. The highway ride is simply superb. The extra weight of the hybrid system no doubt helps. It doesn't have the tin can sensation of some of my 5 previous minivans ('96 T&C; '99, '05, and '10 Odysseys; and '16 Sienna), but feels stout and is rattle-free. The huge fuel gauge is ridiculous. Why no tachometer? My LS 600h L has one and it... Initial Impressions of Pinnacle at 500 Miles

Lane Assist Display is gone from odometer

Hi all, for some reason the Lane Assist display is now missing from the odometer. It used to be in the upper left corner and would be green when in the lane and yellow when not. I checked the safety settings and it still seems to be enabled. Any ideas? 2021 Pinnacle Hybrid

Code U1124 Bulletin Number 08-034-18 Battery heater repair out of warranty

I was wondering if anyone knew if this repair will fall under the High Voltage battery warranty? I've called two separate dealers. One just kept telling me I'd have to bring it in and pay the $150 diagnostic fee to "find out if the warranty will cover it" and the other basically said the same thing just much nicer and a lot less lazy.(they actually called a tech and asked but the tech basically told them to tell me the same thing). I have the max care coverage but one seemed to indicate... Code U1124 Bulletin Number 08-034-18 Battery heater repair out of warranty

What trims can the sunroof be added onto?

I am interested in getting a Chrysler Pacific Hybrid. We'd love to get one with a sunroof. My ideal would be the base trim (Touring) with nothing added except the cold weather package and a sunroof. Though this doesn't seem to be available in regional inventory, I'm wondering whether I might be able to custom order ("build") one like this through a dealer for 2021 or 2022 model year. (I think I understand from these forums that the Limited used to come with a sunroof but now it's an... What trims can the sunroof be added onto?

Wired CarPlay rather than bluetooth?

Uconect 5 in my '21. Historically, I've only used wired connections to my infotainment systems for CarPlay as audio quality is a bit better (hey Apple, how about lossless already?). Also then it's charging. Seems I can't do that no matter which USB port I use? Any hints if it is possible?

IPSOS Survey Invitation

Hi Everyone - I hope you are all having a great 4th of July weekend. We bought our 2021 PacHy in March and got a mailer and follow-up card from IPSOS regarding a survey. Did you guys also receive this survey invitation, and do any of you know of the legitimacy of the company/ survey? I took pictures of the mailer and follow-up I received in the mail. Thanks in advance.
