2021 Pacifica Hybrid Dash Flickers & Goes Off & On

I have a 2021 Chrysler Pacifica Limited PHEV Hybrid that I recently purchased with 20,000 miles. Occasionally, the lights and gauges on the instrument cluster "flicker" or go out for a second and right back up. One day it was worse, they would go out and stay off for about a minute while driving. Most of the time it is just a flicker. Two nights ago they were off for almost 30 minutes. I had even shut off the vehicle and started it up later and they were still off. It just randomly... 2021 Pacifica Hybrid Dash Flickers & Goes Off & On

Weather App Not Working

Is anyone else have problems with the weather app? Ours just displays the rotating circle for a while and then returns the message that an error has occured, try again later. Over the 2 years I've owned the car I would estimate that the weather app has only worked 1 out of 5 attempts, and when it works it does so every time until it stops and then it will never work for a while. Uconnect and Sirius XM have been no help at all trying to resolve this issue. They both tell me to talk to the... Weather App Not Working

Emergency Neutral release

On a forum it says that the hybrid has an emergency neutral release on the driver side lower dash. On my new 2023 there is just a hole there without a covering. The dealer says hybrids have their neutral release accessible from underneath on the transmission.

Sudden loss of power - does it only happen at higher speeds?

So our 2021 Hybrid experienced the sudden loss of power a few weeks ago on the interstate when my wife was driving above 70 mph passing a semi. Typically we do not take it on the interstate so is stays under 65mph. Usually it is driven in town under 40 mph, with occasional highway trips around 60 mph. Since that first episode we have the 03a update applied, and have had no other loss of power episodes. However, we had a trip last Friday which required a few hundred miles of interstate...

ChargePoint doesn’t have option for 2021 model year?

I just signed up for ChargePoint and saw that they have 2017-2023 with the exception of 2021 as an option when adding your EV to their app. Why did they leave 2021 out? That's the year model I have and it is an EV…

Engine is extremely loud above 45km/h

We have a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid limited edition. over the last two months, we completely lost our heat and just had the coolant bypass valve break. Both were fixed under the power train warranty. Around the same time, the van sounds extremely loud when driving above 45km/h regardless of if it's using the battery or engine and regardless if we are accelerating or coasting. Gas performance has also been fine though. Dealership says there is no issue as the check engine light is no... Engine is extremely loud above 45km/h

Awful static and crackling from Bluetooth connection when listening to music

Anyone else experiencing crackling and static noise when streaming music from Uconnect to your phone? I know 100% it's Uconnect and not my phone as the crackling sound is also consistent on two totally different Android phones and one iPhone. I performed the update that came out a couple months ago and I'm currently up to date. I'm afraid this is just another permanent glitch with Uconnect but hoping there is a fix out there. Thanks in advance

High mileage owners with positive experiences, report!

2017 Pachy, 60k miles. So far so good. Had the battery warmer die, but this was fixed by the dealer so not a big problem for me. I'll assume the new battery warmer will last longer, please use experience to tell me otherwise. The biggest question: will this van make it to 100k without incident? Things like glitchy sortware, squeaky bushings, rattling doors etc are not reasons to call a car unreliable. And if they are, then every car I've ever owned is unreliable at 60k miles. My biggest...

Need help on fixing noisy sliding door

Does anyone know how to tighten the bottom sliding door rail? My left side sliding door on the PacHy gets squeaks often during driving, like making turns, stopping, accelerating etc. I have checked and lubricated the rubber seals and every possible plastic parts on the door but it's still noisy. Until today I compared my noisy left door with the quiet right door, the noisy door's bottom rail seems to have some loose play if yanked up and down. The right door's is very tight. How do you...

Toronto area Pinnacle available now

My dealer just received a Pinnacle that the depositor has abandoned. If you're interested send me a DM and I'll send you the info. I'm not sure what availability is like for any PacHy in Toronto but I waited almost a year for mine - nothing better than getting it right away I suppose for those who are ready to buy.
