Description of the problem | Sitting at stop light waiting for it to change when engine just turned off. Didn't know what had just happened or what to do, afraid i would get rear-ended. Light turned green and i had no power. I put van in park, pushed the ignition start button, van started and i was able to proceed in traffic. Didn't know if problem was related to the feature where engine turns off when stopped in traffic, then turns back on when you press the gas. I pushed the button so engine wouldn't turn off until i got home safely. Near zero outside temps and i thought vehicle had died. Luckily, driver behind me was paying attention and didn't jump the gun when the light turned green or i definitely would have been rear-ended. Apparently this is a problem that other pacifica drivers have experienced. It needs to be fixed before someone is hurt. Makes me very uneasy to drive it not knowing when it might happen again. Will take to dealer as soon as possible. |
