Rattling Noise in the back?

Had the PH for 3 days now and not driven it much but liking it very well so far. 3 times now I've heard a rather loud rattling noise in the back. Once on the highway and twice around town. The last time was when pulling into a parking lot that had a uphill entry. I can't seem to make it happen on demand by turning or doing the brakes - it just seems to happen at random times. Maybe the shock problem others have mentioned? BTW - can't wait until I get my free Charger - still can't... Rattling Noise in the back?

2018 PacHy Limited vs 2022 PacHy Limited - what's new and improved (or not)?

I'm considering trading in my 2018 Pacifica Hybrid Limited for a 2022 Hybrid Limited. Main reason is to get a 4 year newer car that hopefully has more kinks worked out (we've had a number of small issues with the 2018 plus the 2 battery-fire related recalls). I'm curious what I lose/gain by upgrading to the 2022 and would love your input. A bit more info: we have the safety package and tri-pane sunroof on the 2018 which I think were the only available upgrades (but it's been 3 years so... 2018 PacHy Limited vs 2022 PacHy Limited - what's new and improved (or not)?

Anyone have issues with Stereo/Wireless Carplay on 2020 Hybrid Limited?

Wife complains constantly that the carplay wont connect, or it disconnects, etc. She's usually wireless carplay normally, but sometimes wired. Display goes out, locks up, won't connect. Just very random. Is there a way to force an update remotely by chance, is this something a dealer needs to check out?

Dead battery woes

First-time poster here, I saw a similar thread titled "dead battery adventures". I have a '21 Pacifica Hybrid with ~8600mi on it. We drive it roughly daily, in the Phoenix valley, and it runs/works great. In November (Van 6m old, ~6,000mi), we drove it up north, and it was cold. Probably mid-20s at night. When I came out, the van wouldn't start. I went to neighbors, jump-started with their assistance, and drove to the local dealer. The dealer pulled the codes, tested and charged the...

Weird Rolling Sound?

Hi everybody, just wondering if anyone else has had an issue like this with their PacHy. We've had ours since around the end of April and just recently *once in a while* when I come to a stop I'm hearing this weird "rolling" sound. It's almost like marbles rolling back and forth on a plate or something. It seems to be coming from the rear passenger side and like I mentioned it doesn't happen every time I stop just sometimes. Initially I thought maybe it was one of the back seatbelts just... Weird Rolling Sound?

17" versus 18" wheels for better handling, mpg, etc

I'm looking for a second set of wheels and am cross shopping 17" and 18", but I've not driven a van with 18" wheels. Is handling improved with the 235/60R18 versus 235/65R17? Does the fuel efficiency decline? Will Grand Caravan wheels fit the Pacifica or should I stick with Pacifica ones if I want OEM?

Loose part identification

I pulled the middle row seats out the other day and when I went to put them back I noticed a loose plastic part/cover in the floor slot. I looked around on the seat hoping to find where it might have popped off from, but couldn't find anything. Any ideas?

Van shocked us. Literally.

So the other day the van was plugged in and my wife went out to do something and said that the handle shocked her. I assumed she meant like a POW and you get the spark. She said nope that this was like current, not a quick discharge type of thing. Well today my kids were playing in the van and I went out to get them. My son slid out of the van from the front passenger seat and slid over where the molding joins on the floor and the frame for the edge of the door and jumped and said AHHHHhhh... Van shocked us. Literally.

Conversation Mirror

I don't have kids - and in fact I even removed the rear seats so I can carry more gear - so I have no need for the conversation mirror. Can this mirror be removed and the space used for something more functional, perhaps a gas card holder or something else. Has anyone removed that mirror (if so, how?), and can anyone think of anything else that this space can be used for?

Tips for storing center seats (not stow and go)

Any tips for storing the hybrid center seats (not the Pinnacle version)? Ideally I'd like them to take up less space while also not getting damaged. Anyone try to box them?

Loss of power in cold weather

I was headed out last week after overnight temperatures were in the single digits. I had heard about potential recall so my 2018 pachy had not been plugged in. It started right up and I backed out of the driveway and made it half a block before I lost power and as I pressed the accelerator down the engine died and the check engine light came on. At this point I was stuck in the road with no power. I tried to push the button to turn off the car with no luck. It wouldn't restart and it... Loss of power in cold weather
