2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA — Complaint #1558353
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about UNKNOWN OR OTHER filed April 16, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1558353 (ODI reference 11196663) concerns a 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA and was filed on April 16, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on October 27, 2018. The vehicle had 500 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Indiana based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as unknown or other, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same CHRYSLER PACIFICA cohort independently describe similar unknown or other failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
Complaint Description
THE DRIVERS SCREEN (NAVIGATION , BACK UP CAMERA, DVD,ETC) FREEZES REGULARLY. THIS MEANS THAT OFTEN THE BACKUP CAMERA IS UNAVAILABLE, AT TIMES THE MOVIE SHOWS EVEN WHILE DRIVING. I HAVE REPORTED IT SEVERAL TIMES TO CHRYSLER'S UCONNECT TEAM WITH NO RESOLUTION. MY CASE MANAGER IS NO LONGER ANSWERING MY CALLS. I HAVE VIDEOS OF THE MALFUNCTION. THE DEALERSHIP HAS ASKED ME TO BRING THE CAR IN 5 TIMES ALREADY, WITH NO RESOLUTION, BUT THEIR 'PLAN' IS TO JUST HAVE ME KEEP BRINGING IT IN BUT SAID THEY CANNOT REPLACE THE SCREEN/DEVICE. IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT I CANNOT RELIABLY ACCESS MY REAR CAMERA OR CHANGE APPLICATIONS. I HAVE VIDEOS OF MULTIPLE IMSTAMCES
