Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.

InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.

POWER TRAIN

DIFFERENTIAL Rear Axle Some AWD Chrysler Pacificas are exhibiting a grinding noise coming from the PTU when it's shifting from 2WD to AWD. C1477-48 may also be present. To engage AWD, the DTCM energizes the hydraulic pump inside the RDM to apply the torque transfer clutch. This allows the propeller shaft to spin up to speed and match the front axle speed allowing the shift fork in the PTU to engage without clashing. The DTCM utilizes the pressure sensor on the RDM to determine the amount of hydraulic pressure applied to the clutches. If that pressure sensor fails, there can be inadequate pressure, preventing the driveshaft from coming up to speed when going into AWD. This will cause a grinding noise in the PTU. If the vehicle comes in with a grinding noise coming from the PTU, prior to replacing the PTU or RDM, replace the RDM pressure sensor 68227790AD and verify whether the concern has been resolved.

Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
