The car had been operating normally while driving for about 15 minutes when we realized we missed a turn and decided to turn around using a driveway. The car was never switched out of drive. After turning around we started accelerating to cross the two lane road and then all motive power cut out, we lost power steering and could not operate the gear shifter. The vehicle stalled, dangerously blocking both lanes of traffic with three children and two adults inside. We got everyone out of the vehicle and off of the road. A few minutes later after reentering the vehicle, it started normally.

Vehicle lost motive power while attempting to excelerate from a stop on a city street. Vehicle was restarted but loud clunking noise and violent shaking came from engine compartment. Vehicle was towed and has been at the local dealer since with little communication about a prognosis or permanent fix.
The van's engine stopped while traveling at 30 MPH on a city street. The AC had been running. The hybrid and engine light came on. The day board stated I needed to put vehicle in park to start van. After coasting to a stop the vehicle did not respond to trying to use gear selector. This changed after sitting for 15 minutes. I drove the vehicle with engine light and hybrid light the final 1 mile home....updated 11/06/17 *bf updated 11/09/2017
Driving on interstate when the car basically lost forward drive in the middle of the highway. Was in traffic, going approximately 5mph with the adaptive cruise control on, braked for slowing traffic and on trying to re-accelerate got no power. And drifted slowly to a stop while trying to re-engage drive. Vehicle is phev, was running on battery with plenty of charge at the time and plenty of gas for hybrid gas engine backup, but neither provided power. Tried unsuccessfully to turn the car off, restart, reset, etc., but nothing worked despite power to dash electronics. Was pushed to shoulder by state police and subsequently towed to dealer....updated 11/03/17 *bf updated 11/9/2017
New 2017 chrysler pacifica hybrid with 270 miles stalled on a busy intersection and won't turn on. The vehicle was in motion when it lost power and came to a complete stop. The engine sign is on and message says "press brake to prevent rollong". Turning off and turning the it back on does not make the issue go away.
