I am coming up on 5 years of owning my 2018 Pacifica, and I have the original battery (batteries). Have under 18,000 miles, garaged, put a battery tender on it (but not religiously, only if I know we won't be driving it for a week). I have never gotten over 5 years on a battery, and see no...

If I have to complain about anything with my Pachy it's the ESS. I've had my van for 2yrs now and have never gotten the ESS to work long enough to like it or hate it. However, I hate how it can affect the main battery. I'm now on aux battery #2 which I got after the last recall that I thought...

Replaced my battery today. Now the positive terminal nut won’t tighten. It won’t loosen either. It just spins. Any advice? I’ve never seen this happen and can’t see what/if something is broken or how to engage so it won’t spin. Right now the positive fuse terminal is snug but I can remove with...

My 2020 gas Pacifica decided not to start today. We tried jumping it off but no luck and it keeps saying it's not in park. I'm going to put in on the charger tonight and if it doesn't start in the morning I'm going to have a battery delivered from the local shop but I'm still within my...

Hi Everyone! New to the forum, but hope to be here for a while! My wife and I are looking at purchasing a 2018 Pacifica Hybrid Touring. We have a lot of questions, but what one reads on the internet are often reviews from a journalist who drove one for a weekend (paid for by Chrysler), or who...

2018 Pacifica Hybrid, approx. 35,000 miles, Z11 recall recently completed. After charging my car overnight a couple nights ago, the car cabin had a strange smell that I have never encountered before. To me, it smells like burning tomatoes. My wife thinks it smells more like chemicals...

So here is what happened with my Z11 recall: Eight days and less than 126 miles (mostly electric) after z11 recall was completed (along with prepaid oil and tire service), we got the check engine light right by our home and immediately parked the car. OBD-II scanner pulled P0EDD Code, which my...

2017 Pacifica Touring L So I have the usual “all the batteries die way too early”. So yesterday, I replaced my main battery and they didn’t have the aux in stock. After doing research I learned I could just disconnect it so it won’t draw the main and so the ESS won’t run. But then this morning...

We own a 2018 Pachy and never have had any problem with in three and one-half years; a great car! We went on a cruise and came back 8 days later to a dead 12 volt battery. The manual said you can jump start but engine won't start til the high voltage battery is charged, and I didn't have a...

Hi everyone! I’m sure this will be a pretty lengthy post (sorry about that) but I want to give as much info as possible because at this point we’re at a loss. I’ll try to make it short. Purchased a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Limited in May 2020 October/November 2020 — started having a few issues...

Hello. I usually am a bit of a researcher and forum-digger, but I was hoping there's a great writer/teacher out there who can attempt a straight-forward answer. Simply put, our 2021 seemed to be great as a hybrid all summer/fall. We basically were total electric drivers in the city, averaging...

Happy Tuesday, I’ve observed some new behaviors in my 2021 over the last five or so days and would like to know if anyone else is experiencing or has the knowledge to share. Battery Level: I’ve noticed that my battery level is higher in the car than on the previous trip. I’m so used to my...

I bought our van used with 35K miles and about 4 years old. The battery for 12 volts was the original one from Chrysler. I got the service manual and opened up the back to take a look. I found a shop here that sold the premium version for a reasonable price with free installation. This did...

Hi- I traded in our 2016 T&C today and picked up a brand new 2021 Limited (silver w/alloy seats) in Cleveland, then drove 3.5 hours home to Cincinnati. Conventional van, NOT hybrid. As I was scrolling through the data available on-screen at the end of the trip, I noticed the battery voltage...

After over 6 months of waiting we finally received our Hybrid Touring-L Plus. So far everything seems to be working great, but I have a battery health PID question. My electrical utility is running an EV and PHEV charging study, to gain data on charging habits and help with capacity planning...

The battery was totally dead after 3 weeks of being parked. I jumpstarted it and the van could turn off and restart over the next few days. But now it will drop from 12 V to 10 V overnight. My local auto parts store said the battery still had a quarter of its life left. They charged it up but...

Hi, I want to test and possibly replace the starter battery in our 2018 Hybrid Pacifica. I can open the compartment in the hatch area easily enough, but to unbolt and extract the battery, I will need to remove the panel. What's the trick to this (which damaging the plastic panels) or is there...

I know there are hundreds and hundreds of threads on this subject, but I haven’t found a similar situation to mine. 2019 touring L Nov 2020, replaced auxiliary battery due to start stop battery protection mode & service shifter message, as well as having to jump the main battery assuming due...

Nearing completion of a camper build for my 2021 PacHy Limited, I wanted power to run a small fridge, lights or fan, charge devices, etc, for 2-3 day campouts. Power from the PacHy's 16 kWh high-voltage traction battery isn't accessible because there's no option to conserve it; if your trip...

For the past couple of weeks we have been having trouble with the voltage in our van. 2017 Limited, 105k miles. I hooked up my multimeter and watched the voltage when parked. It drops to 12.4 or so, so battery seems to be taking a charge okay and holding. But as soon as we unlock the doors or...
