Description of the problem | Acc & fcw. Mine did not work. The dealer had my car for 2 weeks. They had to contact the chrysler engineer & was told to replace & re-calibrate. So after being replaced it somewhat works. After the new parts, my car will still brake hard when a car in the adjacent lane is exiting (as if the car was braking in front of me). But, if a car changes lanes directly in front of me or slams on brakes directly in front of me my car doesn't react? Chrysler has definitely fallen short on this function. I've owned vehicles where this function worked nearly flawless. Chrysler says its as good as its going to get. Another misrepresentation on this feature! I'm disappointed. Chrysler claims the pacifica to be the quietest vehicle in its class. After driving it about 8 months now, i hate it. It's as noisy as a small car. "acoustically sound with its active noise cancellation (anc), subduing engine and street noise through white-noise wavelengths played through all speakers throughout the vehicle". The anc is in all trim levels. Chrysler at this point doesn't even have a way to test the product to see if the anc is working! Star tech support of chrysler is still trying to figure out how to test this feature!!! I had a chrysler customer service rep tell me that the anc was for my cell phone, lol, i was like are you sure you work for chrysler?? Third, is the suspension and rear sway of the vehicle. When there are only 2 people up front it's not noticeable. But when we have 5-6 people it's noticeable. Chrysler customer service tried to tell me i had the van over capacity. Really! So my 7 passenger van was over capacity with 5 people (4 adults, 1 child, 3 luggage)? Again are you sure you work for chrysler?? Fourth, my key fob randomly loses connection. Fifth, i had the a/c failure and my a/c had to be replaced. I have requested a buy back. Too many misrepresentations. |
