Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about HYBRID PROPULSION SYSTEM: INVERTER filed August 20, 2019
NHTSA complaint #1595959 (ODI reference 11245257) concerns a 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA PLUG-IN HYBRID and was filed on August 20, 2019. The owner reports the failure occurred on August 9, 2019. The vehicle had 12,715 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to California based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as hybrid propulsion system: inverter, 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 PLUG-IN HYBRID cohort independently describe similar hybrid propulsion system: inverter 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 PLUG-IN HYBRID shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
