Deaths

A complaint is an unverified account by the person who filed it, not a finding of fault. One complaint is one ODI number, which is how NHTSA counts them.

A recall is the manufacturer conceding a defect, and the repair is free. Whether one covers your particular car is a question only its VIN can answer, because a campaign covers a production range rather than a model year.

This is the year the complaint was filed, not the year the failure happened. The range runs from 2021 to 2026, the last of them a part year, which is why its column is drawn faint.

Crash test ratings

NHTSA New Car Assessment Program

NHTSA crashes a car into a barrier and a pole and measures what happens to the dummies inside. This is what it awarded the 2020 Chrysler VOYAGER, and it is a separate question from what owners report going wrong later.

The defect
Chrysler (FCA US, LLC) is recalling certain 2020-2023 Pacifica and 2020-2021, 2023 Voyager vehicles. An improperly secured connector for the side curtain air bags may prevent the air bags from deploying. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 214, "Side Impact Protection" and 226, "Ejection Mitigation."
The risk
An air bag that does not deploy during a crash increases the risk of injury.
The remedy
Dealers will secure the connector, free of charge. All vehicles have been remedied. Owner notification letters were mailed October 22, 2024. Owners may contact FCA customer service at 1-800-853-1403. FCA's number for this recall is A8B.

NHTSA complaint 11723927. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

ENGINE
All of a sudden the van starts running very hard, trying to stall, the stop/start warning comes on, engine light comes on and the van has a lot of trouble accelerating. If the van will stall in the middle of the road it would put me, my kids and other cars around me at risk, especially if we are on a fast highway. We took it to the dealer last year and they replaced all the coils and now the issue is happening again. No other professionals have inspected the vehicle but we are going to have to probably take it to the dealership to figure out what to do next. It is not safe to drive right now and I have 5 children that need to get safely to school

NHTSA complaint 11700492. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

STEERING
There is a sticking of the steering wheel when I have a slow turn to the right or I am on a gradual curve to the right. The steering wheel "locks" temporarily and I have to tug to the left to get it to move back to the center position. I took note of an NTHSA warning about 2018/19 Pacifica models having this issue and I wanted to report that my model is having the same issue. We purchased the vehicle used in 2025 and have had this issue within the last 30 days. I have not yet taken it to a dealership for assessment.

NHTSA complaint 11685906. Filed by an owner and not verified by NHTSA or by us.

ENGINE
Car completely stopped . After 2 months of checking the car I was told the motor is corroded. Bought the vehicle 2022 with no reports of any incidents

If this is your car and a dealer keeps failing to fix it, your state's lemon law may require the manufacturer to replace it or buy it back. How many repair attempts it takes, and how long you have to file, is set by the state you bought in and by nothing on this page.

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
