Each tile shows the median mileage at which that model year’s failures were reported. † marks a year whose median likely understates the mileage: much of its reporting came after 2020, when most complaints stopped recording an odometer reading. The 2021 reports latest and the 2018 earliest, but part of that gap is age: the 2018 has had 3 more years on the road to accumulate mileage. 3 of these years carry fewer than 30 reports with an odometer reading and show no median at all, rather than one computed from a handful.
The short answer
“Is the 2017–2025 Chrysler Pacifica reliable?”
- Median of reported failures
- 20,000 mi
- 90% of reports came by
- 75,000 mi
- Reports with mileage
- 1,482
- Recalls
- 45
At least 40% of this generation’s complaints were filed after 2020, and most complaints filed since then carry no odometer reading, so the median likely understates the mileage these failures happen at.

Owners filed 4,290 complaints with NHTSA about the 2017–2025 Chrysler Pacifica; the engine leads with 35.1% of them, and half of the 1,482 that record an odometer reading came by 20,000 miles. A count like this can’t rate reliability on its own: NHTSA records what owners chose to report, not how many of each car were sold.
35% of complaints that record mileage fall within the first 12,000 miles, against 10.7 reports per 1,000 miles between 20,000 and 80,000. On a generation this new that is expected: few examples have been driven further yet, so the timing says little about design or wear so far.

How many miles does a 2017–2025 Chrysler Pacifica last?
The newest model years (2024–2025) are too young to have reached high mileage; most reports with an odometer reading come from the earlier years of the generation.
Complaint records can’t measure how long a car lasts; they show when reported failures happened. On the 2017–2025 Chrysler Pacifica, half of the 1,482 complaints that record an odometer reading were filed by 20,000 miles and 90% by 75,000 miles.
18 reports came in past 150,000 miles and 5 past 200,000 — each one proof that a Pacifica reached that mileage, not that it failed there.

System by system, in words
Complaints about this generation are not spread evenly across the vehicle, and the systems that generate the most of them do not all fail at the same point in a car's life. The median failure across all systems here is 20,000 miles; the figures below show which parts of the car run ahead of that and which run behind.
The engine accounts for 35.1% of complaints (1,507 reports, 476 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 14,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 5,000 and 35,000 miles.
A single system taking 35.1% of all complaints is a concentration worth noting. It means that for this generation, most of what owners reported came back to one area of the car rather than being distributed across many small faults.
The electrical system accounts for 31.1% of complaints (1,334 reports, 460 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 19,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 7,000 and 42,000 miles.
The transmission and driveline accounts for 26.9% of complaints (1,152 reports, 426 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 24,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 9,500 and 42,000 miles.
Problems owners could not categorise accounts for 14.0% of complaints (599 reports, 202 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 15,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 4,500 and 30,000 miles.
The steering accounts for 13.8% of complaints (590 reports, 168 of them with a mileage figure), with a median of 27,000 miles, close to the vehicle's overall pattern. The middle half of these reports falls between 7,000 and 63,000 miles.
The fuel and propulsion system accounts for 7.8% of complaints (336 reports, 68 of them with a mileage figure), and it fails early — a median of 11,000 miles, well before the vehicle's overall median. Failures clustered this far below the rest of the car usually point to a design or manufacturing problem rather than wear, because wear does not selectively target one system on low-mileage examples. The middle half of these reports falls between 2,000 and 31,000 miles.
Known problems with the 2017–2025 Pacifica
Powertrain / Wiring — Engine Stall 2017–2019
Abrupt engine stall and loss of power steering assist traced to improperly installed/routed wiring; recall covered roughly 198,700 gasoline Pacificas. A separate recall attributed stalling to a powertrain control module defect on 2018 vehicles.
Hybrid Transmission Wiring Connector 2017–2023
An internal transmission wiring connector can short circuit, causing unexpected engine shutdown/stall, most often above 25 mph. Recall covered roughly 67,000-76,000 Pacifica Hybrids; remedy was a power inverter software update plus, where needed, an instrument cluster software update. NHTSA later opened a recall-query investigation into whether the software remedy was adequate.
High-Voltage Battery (hybrid) 2017–2018
Fire risk from the LG-supplied high-voltage battery pack while parked and charging; roughly 20,000 vehicles recalled after 12 owner fire reports, with owners told to park outside and away from structures and to stop charging. Same cell supplier implicated in the Chevrolet Bolt and Hyundai Kona EV battery recalls.
Transmission (948TE 9-Speed) 2017–2019
Early shift-quality complaints — harsh or delayed engagement, hunting between ratios — addressed through repeated TCM/PCM calibration updates rather than hardware. Characteristic of FCA's early 9HP applications.
Seat Belts / Front Axle 2018
Separate recalls on 2018 vehicles for a seat belt that can become unlatched and for a front axle defect.
Before you buy a 2017–2025 Pacifica: the 3-minute check
Generated from 1,482 mileage-tagged complaints, 45 recall campaigns, 5 documented problem areas. Print this page — the checklist survives print.
- Run the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls. 45 campaigns cover this generation; an open recall is a free repair you can make the seller's problem.
- Ask for fuel and propulsion system repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 11,000 miles — a newer example may not have reached that mileage yet, so ask what was repaired under warranty and what the warranty still covers.
- Ask for forward collision avoidance repair records. Reports on this area come at a median of 5,500 miles — a newer example may not have reached that mileage yet, so ask what was repaired under warranty and what the warranty still covers.
- Check powertrain / wiring — engine stall on 2017–2019 cars. Abrupt engine stall and loss of power steering assist traced to improperly installed/routed wiring; recall covered roughly 198,700 gasoline Pacificas. A separate recall attributed stalling to a powertrain control module…
- Check hybrid transmission wiring connector on 2017–2023 (Hybrid only) cars. An internal transmission wiring connector can short circuit, causing unexpected engine shutdown/stall, most often above 25 mph. Recall covered roughly 67,000-76,000 Pacifica Hybrids; remedy was a power inverter software…
- Check high-voltage battery (hybrid) on 2017–2018 (Hybrid only) cars. Fire risk from the LG-supplied high-voltage battery pack while parked and charging; roughly 20,000 vehicles recalled after 12 owner fire reports, with owners told to park outside and away from structures and to stop…
- Complaint reports are not spread evenly across model years here — see the by-model-year table below before you settle on a year.
- End with a pre-purchase inspection of this car. Aggregate data describes the population; the example in front of you has its own history.
For a buyer of a newer example: 35% of the reported failures occur in the first 12,000 miles, and many of these cars have not covered that yet. The early window may still be ahead, so check what the factory warranty still covers and whether any recall on the VIN is open.
On inspection, the engine and the electrical system are where this generation's reports concentrate, so those are the areas worth a specific look. The engine in particular shows a median failure mileage of 14,000, which gives a concrete number to compare against the odometer of any car you are considering.
None of this is a substitute for a pre-purchase inspection on the individual car. Aggregate patterns describe a population; the example in front of you has its own history.

2017–2025 Chrysler Pacifica recalls (45)
NHTSA records 45 recall campaigns covering vehicles in this generation. A recall means the manufacturer or the regulator concluded there was a safety defect or a standard was not met, and that a free remedy is owed to owners — including second and later owners.
5 of these carry a severe advisory — NHTSA's do not drive or park outside warnings, which the agency applies only when it considers the risk immediate. If you own one of these vehicles, that is the first thing to check by VIN.
The campaigns cluster around the electrical system (8), the airbag system (6), equipment (5). Several campaigns against one area can mean a remedy that did not hold, or separate defects in parts filed under the same heading; the summaries below name each defect.
Recall status is specific to the individual vehicle, not the model. Checking a VIN against NHTSA's lookup is free and takes under a minute, and it is the only way to know whether a particular car has had the work done.

Crashes, fires and injuries owners reported
What owners reported alongside the failure itself, out of 4,290 complaints against this generation:
- Crashes
- 126 (2.9%)
- Fires
- 50
- Injury reports
- 67
- Fatality reports
- 1
These flags are self-reported by complainants and unverified by NHTSA; one report can carry several flags, so the counts overlap and do not sum to a total. They are not adjusted for how many of these vehicles are on the road. No chart is drawn here on purpose: overlapping counts spanning very different magnitudes cannot be honestly encoded as lengths.
Pacifica problems by model year
The 2017 drew the most complaints of this generation, 1,600, most of them about the engine, and the 2025 the fewest, 28. A typical year drew about 327.
That makes the 2017 stand out at roughly 4.9 times a typical year. A count like this follows how many cars of each year were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as how often they failed, so it is not by itself evidence of a worse year; what each year's reports name, in its card and row, is the useful part.
