At low speed when I first push or release the gas, I hear a click sound like it is in the dash. Has anyone noticed this? The van operates fine, but I notice the little sound at times.

I've driven for years with the click with no issues other than more clicking.
Service bulletin! 228 ft lbs for >2018. Let’s see if my $15 harbor freight torque wrench can do the job https://www.reddit.com/r/ChryslerPacifica/s/hXv7XgC4Q5

Posted in this very thread back on November 2nd.
Just tightened mine and the passenger side was the loose one. Click is now gone. Will see if the new torque setting will last.
As a side note Oreilly Auto had the tools to loan out. Socket set and torque wrench.

Yes. Tighten your front axle nuts as in this thread. Same noise.

Yes, I have the same issue with my 2023 Pacifica Limited AWD. I took it to a Chrysler dealership and had a mechanic look at it. I was told this is normal for an AWD. I called that bullshit as the clicking is very annoying and can't believe Chrysler doesn't know what is causing it. It has gotten louder the past 3 months.

The TSB for AWD was released years ago for the hub nuts with the FWD following much later. If I can find it I'll post here but I "think" it's a known documented issue on AWD since 2017.

Hi! New to this forum. Just purchased a used 2021 Pacifica Touring AWD. Only had 49,600 miles, so my guess it wasn't driven hard. I have the same noise coming from driver side axle. I had my mechanic of 28 years look at it. They found the splines are worn on the axle and the axle nut was loose. They torqued the nut to specs and sound went away until about 300 miles after. They suggested taking to a dealer since it should still be under warranty (Power Train). All the dealer did was torque both nuts and said everything was fine. I'm going to look up that TSB for the AWD for more details. Would like some advice on next steps.

First, thanks for all the posts. Our new-to-us '22 Limited is making this noise and has been bugging me, so here I am.
Read the thread, found the 228 spec. Here's my question(s) in case anyone knows: I know the axle nuts are to be one-time use, but if they were at 120, and I'm going to personally take them to 228, have they really been used "to spec"? Honestly do the dealer "fixes" typically involve an install of new nuts or do they just charge $275 for 10 mins of tightening the old ones (that's just criminal). Did Chrysler change the actual nut used to a beefier one or if/when I buy new nuts will they be the same as OE installed at the factory?
I suspect I'll just torque the originals to 228 and if/when I have more issues then I'll do new nuts and probably Nord-locks. Seem reasonable?

I simply re-used the axle nuts after installing the Nord-Locks, and torqued them to the original 120. The van has been driven over 6,000 miles since then and the clicking noise has never returned. IMHO the Nord-Locks are the real solution, not just a higher torque or new axle nuts.

Just talked to my mechanic about how we'll approach this, and he found another TSB I haven't seen referenced here. It's 03-008-24 issued August 28, 2024. Bottom line, it says new torque for front half shaft hub nut is now 228 ft lbs. I'm still going to use the Nord Lock washers, but found the new spec interesting.
The TSB was linked in this post back in early November of 2024, and had been mentioned a few times before then.
