improved stereo-imaging in 2022 PHEV vs 2018

I own a 2018 PHEV (with 70K miles) which I have long felt had sub-par stereo imaging. By this I mean that music always sounds like it's only playing in one speaker, whichever is closest to you. I've experimented with the balance setting as well as the surround- sound. The only thing that seemed to help was laying something, e.g. a magazine, across the front- center speaker to block it. Last week I was out of town and rented a new 2022 model. And the imaging was perfect, i.e., two distinct... improved stereo-imaging in 2022 PHEV vs 2018

Electric Range Down from 33 to 29 at 100% Charge After Z11

Hi everyone, I have a 2018 PacHy with 74k miles on it. I had the Z11 recall performed at the dealership last week. Aside from a terrible overall experience (no fuel fill-up, returned to me at 56% charge, no interior clean, rude servie advisor, and gouging me on an additional out-of-warranty repair while it was there), I have noticed that at 100% charge, the full electric range now shows 29. Prior to bringing it in, it alway showed 33 at 100% charge. Has anyone had this happen or know why... Electric Range Down from 33 to 29 at 100% Charge After Z11

Will 5RJ40XZAAA wheels fit a 2022 hybrid?

I tried checking with my dealer, but supposedly Chrysler does not provide parts with wheel fitment information. I want to make sure the 5RJ40XZAAA wheel will fit a 2022 hybrid. There seems to be a least one person who fit these to a hybrid. They don't say which year hybrid that was and it's unclear to me whether the brakes on all hybrids are the same size?

I need some 17" wheels (for winter tires) that will fit my '22 hybrid

Hello all, First post here, and first ever non-Volvo I've owned. I just bought a '22 hybrid Pacifica Touring L. So far it's wonderful. I have a slightly used set of 235/65/17 snow tires for it but am really struggling to find which wheels will fit that don't cost a fortune. I don't care about looks--just want rims that fit. The general interwebs are full of wheels that say they'll fit on some sites (Touren TR9, for example), but then other places tell me they won't fit. I know I have very...

Clicking (relay click)noise when pressing on gas pedal and taking off

Hi, just wondering if someone is having the same issue as I have with relay clicking noise with gas pedal press and release at lower speed. I have 2020 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid and recently I stared noticing that every time I press gas pedal and take my foot off ..I hear clink noise from driver side engine department. It has been becoming very noticeable with no music on in the car. Is this normal issue? How to fix or what to say to dealer to help him fix this? please advise. Thanks.
