Glad everyone is OK. I’m curious, what do you plan to replace it with. Did the outcome (fire) effect your decision? Someone earlier commented that cars catch fire now & then. No, they don’t just randomly catch fire and should not from a 35 Mph collision. This would give me serious pause about the Pacifica. Collisions are one thing - fire is a whole different ballgame and I’d want to know exactly why and how it caught fire instead of shrugging it off as just something that happens now and then.
2019 Chrysler Pacifica S series Forward Impact causes FIRE
I was involved in a accident that resulted in a car fire. Two weeks ago I was hit on the right side while going north in the left lane. I was forced into the south bound lane at 35 mph hitting the curb of the median with my front right side. The airbags deployed. My 4 kids and I were able to get out of the car minutes before it was engulfed in flames. Witnesses told the fire department they saw us exiting the vehicle while the vehicle was starting to catch fire. I had a 2019 Chrysler Pacifica touring l plus S series with all the safety tech and features it has to offer. I bought it a year ago with 15k on it regular maintenance at the Chrysler dealership with 38k on it before the accident.
All the doors (minus the passenger front) were working and opened fine. Even the automatic doors worked for us to get out.
I don’t have pictures of the before (while on fire) just after. Since my 4 kids and I literally left everything in the vehicle and ran towards a apartment complex not far.
