NOTES OF 2018 CHRYSLER PACIFICA : ON OCTOBER 24, I PURCHASED A 2018 PACIFICA LIMITED WITH 22,000 MILES. DROVE IT HOME .AND TURNED INTO MY DRIVEWAY JUST BEFORE MY GARAGE. MY WIFE (WHO WAS STILL IN THE VAN) SAID I WAS TOO FAR OVER AND SUGGESTED I BACK UP AND LINE UP BETTER. I RESTARTED THE ENGINE AND PUT THE ROTATOR CONTROL IN REVERSE. THE ENGINE STARTED AND I QUICKLY PUT THE CAR IN REVERSE. IMMEDIATELY THE ENGINE RPM JUMPED UP, THE VEHICLE STARTED ROARING BACKWARDS. THE REVERSE MOMENTUM THRU ME FORWARD (I STILL HAD THE SEAT BELT ON). IT ALSO THRU ME AGAINST THE BRAKE AND THE ACCELERATOR. THE PACIFICA ROARED BACK OFF MY DRIVEWAY INTO OUR CUL DE SAC, ROTATED 90 DEGREES AND LANDED NEXT TO MY NEIGHBORS STONE FLOWER BED. THE ENGINE THEN DIED. THE 'AUTO STOP' FEATURE WAS OPERATIONAL. VERY FORTUNATELY, THERE WERE NO CARS OR PEOPLE IN THE DRIVE SO NO ONE WAS HURT. HAD THEY BEEN IT WOULD HAVE BEEN DISASTROUS. IT WAS DELIVERED TO THE BODY SHOP . THE TOTAL DAMAGES WERE $4,500 AND TOOK THREE WEEKS IN THE REPAIR SHOP.. AFTER RETURN I NOTICED THE PACIFICA STILL RESPONDED WITH SUDDEN ACCELERATION AND JERKY SHIFTING, MAKING DRIVING AN EXTREMELY NERVOUS VENTURE. AN INTERNET SEARCH REVEALED OTHER SIMILAR EVENTS IN THE PACIFICA.
