New Pacifica hybrid - check engine light

Purchased a 2022 pacifica hybrid last week (has 600 kms). I drove it for 5 min down the road and the check engine light is on, and the car's fan stays on for about 3 minutes after I shut the car off. It's also super loud! The hood of car and engine is cool to the touch so it's not overheating. I called the dealer, waiting on a return call. Anyone else have this issue?

Android Auto killing me🤔

In the midst of a road trip and our Android Auto has stopped detecting both previously working phones. I've seen and tried most of the things others reported success, but no luck 3 x USB cords 2 x phones that worked before lunch stop. Restarting phone, restarting app, forgetting data on phone, forgetting cars on the phone. Checking security permission on the phone, resetting USB permissions (data and android vs charging only) Resetting the connection on the car, resetting the settings on... Android Auto killing me🤔

Anyone else notice the rapid increase in pricing?

Our 2020 Pacifica Hybrid Limited "S" with every package on it was MSRP of $51,425 Just a few months ago (in 2022) I priced out a 2022 with the same specs as above and came up with $55k MSRP. Today I priced it out again and came up with $58k. Is anyone else seeing these fast rising price increases? I'm trying to figure out how FCA can justify the prices right now since nothing new is being added for the current 2022 model.

Contemplating selling my 2018 PACHY Ltd

I will make a posting in the classifieds section once I get some good pictures, but figured I'd test the waters here first. 2018 PACHY Ltd Granite Grey ext, alloy/white - black interior no safety tech package, no sunroof. no power folding rear seats Pretty sure its got everything else available. I bought new in aug 2019. It had 7 miles on it when I bought it. No issues, great condition, PIM was replaced very early. Van has 18,500 miles on it. Located in Rochester, NY I added Zeibart...

We need to do more

Hi everyone: I think we need to organize ourselves and others in our position so that we make more commotion. They clearly are not going to do anything meaningful until we rattle them a bit more. At a minimum, since we could not charge our cars for 1.5 months and counting, they should be giving us a $60 a day gas allowance instead of reimbursing rentals up to $60 a day (which would not even get us a Nissan Leaf). This vehicle falls under the Lemon Law in California -- I would like to pursue... We need to do more

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)?
