Buying a used 2018 Chrysler Pacifica? Check these 12 recalls first
The 2018 Chrysler Pacifica has 12 recalls in this group, spanning restraints, cruise control, parking release, transmission and axle issues, suspension, stalling, steering, a fire extinguisher, and rearview camera behavior. A Hybrid wiring recall specifically addresses engine stalling. The 866 NHTSA owner complaints are unverified reports, led by engine with 372, electrical system with 286, steering with 173, and power train with 154. Those areas make documented diagnoses and repairs especially relevant alongside VIN-specific recall completion.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify all applicable recalls, including restraints and cruise control.
- Request stalling, steering, transmission, axle, and control arm repair records.
- Check rearview camera behavior and applicable fire extinguisher remedy.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Chrysler dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
