Chrysler Pacifica check engine light comes on

Filed Nov 5, 2026 · Engine · LA

I experienced the red turtle light on a trip to [XXX] two weeks ago. It was intermittent, it would come on and go off within about 5 seconds total. I realized the fire hazard risk recall had not been completed. Upon returning home I took my vehicle to the dealer. At that point I did not have a cel illuminated just the red turtle light intermittently. They had returned the van to my possession saying it was fixed. I drove the vehicle for about an hour and once again got the red turtle light and no Cel. I immediately texted the service manager at the dealership with a video of what it was doing. No Cel light only intermittent red turtle. Now fast forward to today. The dealership says the van needs a HV battery heater to the tune of over $2,000. It now has the red turtle and and the cel illuminated. This battery heater has been an extremely common issue for the pacificas and the jeeps with the hybrid drivetrain (essentially the same). There needs to be some sort of recall for this issue as the problem is common among pacifica and jeep owners with the hybrid drivetrain. P0E15 code is active currently. I have attached pictures showing the red turtle and no cel. Service manager says the cel is currently active on the vehicle along with the red turtle.

We drive an 2021 Pasifica hybrid crysler van. We got a recall card for the hybrid battery. We took it into the dealership they installed the software, said it passed, then a month later engine light came on. We took it back to the dealership they scanned it and done a soak test and everything else to go with it and the code was POBBE and battery has failed. They opened a star case because Stellantis / Chrysler said our milage was to high at 159000 for the recall to cover it. Star case manger called us to let us know that it falls under the warranty and they ordered a battery should arrive Dec 15 2026 at the earliest. Called the dealership to verify. They said yes its ordered. 2 days later Stellantis called us and said they canceled the order and it will not be covered under the warranty recall because of our van is over the milage for the recall. She told us to take it to another dealership to see what they say. That would be the 3rd time we done that and this is what they keep telling us. Our van is at the dealership off road because its a fire hazard and can not be driven and they will not honor the recall 52d, Id-25-13 for unlimited miles. Were stuck with no recall getting taking care of. The only option we have is to contact our lawyer and he will be handling this moving forward. Hopefully Stellantis and Chrysler will be 100% held accountable for there actions. I really dont understand how some people can sleep at night knowing they put people at such a high risk of dieing from their vehicle catching fire and expecting people to accept that as its ok. Big safety issue!!!

We took our van in for the 52d recall of the battery being defective and can catch on fire!! for our 2021 crysler pasifica hybrid van for them to update the software for the hybrid battery and to monitor it. Not even a month later we had to take it back to the dealership mechanic because the check engine light came on. They said the hybrid battery is bad and its under the recall 52d. We reached out to Stellantis and went back and forth because they didnt want to honor it. In the mean time we have been out of a primary vehicle. Stellantis has finally agreed to order a new hybrid battery and cover our vehicle under the recall 52 and have the dealership mechanic install it 100% free. That was Monday. We have tried to reach out to our star case person Mariah, which she had a lady named Monica call us and we were not able to speak to her, she left a voice mail saying only on the message the part has been ordered? We reached out to the dealership mechanic and he has been more than helpful by letting us know the battery was ordered which he had to look it up when we called because Stellantis didnt not reach out to Auto Nation about our van being approved for the battery recall 52d replacement. Mariah told us last week that when we get approved for the battery that we would need to call her for them to get us a rental. We have been calling leaving messages and no response. Its now week 3 without a vehicle and we have children that have to go to school and the adults have to go to work. But have to ask other people to give us a ride and somtimes are not able to find a ride. When clearly the recall paper states that a loaner vehicle will be provided 100% and we will be takin care of. Please help with them honoring this recall all the way through until it is completed. This has become an inconvenience for our family of 8, because of their mistakes. Were asking you to look into this matter to help us and other people that are dealing with the same recall 52d on their pasific

I was driving at highway speeds when the vehicle issued a warning to immediately stop before vehicle shuts down in 2 minutes. This presented a very dangerous situation trying to get off of highway surrounded in traffic quickly, and being stuck on a highway shoulder with trucks passing us at 70mph. An emergency roadside technician checked the engine light code to be POA43. Chrysler will not fix the car however because they state that the code didn’t come from their dealership technician.

I originally took my car to Reedman toll in 2021 due to frequent issues with the batteries needing to be replaced and the car not starting. At the time I was told it was related to a recall, and they fixed it. However, over the last year I have continued to have various problems with the car. The batteries were replaced numerous times. The check engine light and stop start unavailable light going on randomly. The car also started having electrical issues like the radio would just turn off on its own, or the automatic car doors would not open. The car also started feeling jumpy and shaky upon starting, and when the car is off there is a thumping noise. This thumping noise is still heard when the car has been off and parked for hours. The car will be off and I will get in it and hear the thumping before the car starts. Over the summer the problems became more frequent, and on August 31st it would not start, and I had to have it towed to Reedman. Reedman said my started was bad and also the fuse box shorted. They had my car for 10 days, and during this time I paid $500 out of pocket for a rental. I paid $2000 to Reedman for these repairs. I got the car back, and immediately (same day) experienced the exact same problems, and then my car would not start again. When I did get it started I kept getting warnings that the engine might overheat. I got it back to Reedman and they then said it was a bad alternator and some wires were bad as well. They had my car for 2 months. I picked it up 9/30/26 and within less than 6 hours the check engine light and start stop unavailable light came on. The car started feeling jumpy again upon starting, and the thumping noise returned. This car was purchased brand new in 2018 and only has about 51,000 miles on it. I do not understand why this is all happening to a car that has such low mileage. My 2014 Nissan has never had a single problem.

We received a recall paper in the mail to stop driving our vehicle, and take it to the nearest Chrysler dealership to have our 2021 hybrid pacifica van hybrid battery for a software update and monitor of the hybrid battery replacement for a recall 52D. Because the hybrid battery will catch fire. We took it in, they updated the software and said it passed. We drove it not even a month and the check engine light came on. We took it back and they said our hybrid battery needs replaced, a code POBBE that ties to recall 52d but said its not covered under the recall, and we will have to pay out of pocket. We have been back and forth for over 3 to 4 months because Chrysler, Stellantis, & Mopar keeps denying the replacement of the hybrid battery because they say it passed after the check for the recall, our vin does not match for the recall, our van is over the warranty miles. The last call they gave us a new case # which this is our 4th one and told us to go take it back to the dealership and have them run a diagnosis again to see what it says. We did that and the same code comes back. The dealership opened a STAR case and told us to call Chrysler recall division. We did, she gave us a new case number and told us that a case manager will call us. In the mean time the dealership is waiting and has our van because its a fire recall and hoping that all of the above companies that are responsible for this recall make this right. Please help with this serious matter. Thank you

My van has been reliable for 5 years until recall 73B was performed. Ever since it's install I have had 7 repair attempts and 250+ days out of service. Each repair attempt is preceesed by check engine lights, service hybrid system, check electronic throttle control, red wrench, blind spot temporarily unavailable, (occasionally) service airbag, service shifter, and stability control lights. Chrysler has been unable to fix this issue. They have replaced the abs module, 12v battery, can bus's, wiring, battery coolant heater, eflite motors and reducers, 400v battery, and the under hood wiring harness. Engineering has been involved, star cases opened, and technicians flown in to address these issues. The DTC code scans reveal many communication codes, both active and permanent. The last scan had 23 active codes. No one can tell me if this van is safe to drive, I don't think it is. I have had no drive events, and lost power steering momentarily at highway speeds. The latest incident had the messages start appearing at 45 mph. This can is unfit to be on the road, and stellantis does not seem to be able to fix it

At 105,000 miles the check engine light came on, at which point the vehicle experienced rough starts and a rough idle. Vehicle also began emitting white/gray smoke from the exhaust upon starting. Upon diagnosis it was determined that coolant was leaking into #4 cylinder requiring head gasket replacement. Total repair came to $4,287.07. This is a known issue commonly being experienced by other Pacifica owners. This major mechanical issue is a safety issue and could easily have stranded my family on the road. We were fortunate to have been home and located near a known and trusted mechanic when the issue presented.
