New 12 volt battery day :)

I bought our van used with 35K miles and about 4 years old. The battery for 12 volts was the original one from Chrysler. I got the service manual and opened up the back to take a look. I found a shop here that sold the premium version for a reasonable price with free installation. This did take a bit of calling around.. a few shops wouldn't touch it.. a few were out of stock on the battery. But I did find one.. and when the guy went to install it, I had to warn him he need the torex... New 12 volt battery day

2020 Pacifica Hybrid Charging Issues and Lemon Law / Buy back process Query

My experience, Bought a 2020 PacHy Limited September of last year, have around 9800 miles on it, started with charge fault errors intermittently around July of last year, starts making a loud noise after the charge fault error shows up, but it did not prevent me from driving the vehicle, I let the dealer know and they didn't have the schedule for their hybrid tech open up immediately, hence gave me an August 16 date to drop off the vehicle, which I did, it started with a need for a charger... 2020 Pacifica Hybrid Charging Issues and Lemon Law / Buy back process Query

Driving History

Hello, new member here. We have had our 2021 hybrid for a little while now and noticed that the driving history hasnt been very accurate. for example in the image the previous week shows we didnt drive at all Sun-Wed plus Fri and Sat when we actually did drive quite a bit. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Thanks!

2021 Pacifica Hybrid Battery HELP

I am new to this forum. Purchased a 2021 Pacifica Hybrid - Pinnacle in mid-February and within 6 days the high-voltage hybrid battery needed to be replaced. It started leaking coolant. Has anyone experienced a major problem with this the hybrid battery? On this forum I have only seen one other hybrid battery failure. I am sure my Pacifica is going to be re-purchased under Lemon Law rules, but trying to decide if I want to risk another one. This is my 4th Chrysler minivan, and my wife loves... 2021 Pacifica Hybrid Battery HELP

Will there be an AWD PacHy?

The title asks the question . I traded my 17 Pacifica Limited Ice for a 20 PacHy when there were some decent rebates. A few months later I traded for a 21 PacHy to get the better headlight and wireless CarPlay. If Chrysler comes out with a PacHy AWD I would get one ASAP.

Regenerative brakes question

Does anyone know how the regenerative brakes work on a technical level on the Pacifica? I understand the theory of regen brakes, I'm wondering about the Pacifica itself. When the vehicle is using regen braking, are the rear friction brakes being used as well? I know some hybrid are designed this way, and it causes the rear brakes to be worn much quicker than the front brakes. Does anyone have any technical information to share?

Stoplight Audio for Pedestrians

On my way to get a beer, I pondered about the Ram truck stopped beside me at a stoplight. How could I get the pedestrian warning speakers to output the loud rumble of an idling large Hemi to startle the trucks and cars around me?

2018 Pacifica Hybrid issues

I took my 2018 Pacifica Hybrid into the dealership 3 weeks ago and they still don't know what's going on. They said they are waiting to hear from the engineers as to why my car won't take any of the updates. Apparently my system won't take a full charge, one of the passenger doors keeps opening when trying to close it and the rear sense went offline. Is this normal for them. Thanks for responding. Also if Chrysler cares can respond I would appreciate it.
