What is your question?
We were at a stop light and the car shut off completely. All lights and the engine shut off, breaks locked and the car wouldn’t start immediately. It took a few tries and then it came on. Later that same day when we pulled into our driveway to grab something from the house really quick, we put the car in park and it shut off after 5 minutes. Now it won’t turn on and if we do get any power, the engine doesn’t start but the Nuetral shift gear light blinks and on the dash we get a warning to service the shifter and break system along with several other warnings.
What makes this problem better or worse?
It’s worse with time being still and not actively driving
How long has your 2017 Chrysler Pacifica had this problem?

Hi this is Dusty, I'm one of the auto experts on RepairPal's Car Genius team! My kneejerk reaction to what you described is an issue with the alternator failing to produce enough output at low speeds or idle. Which would leave the vehicle with insufficient power, which would trigger all the warning lights you're experiencing and cause erratic behavior. That's just a desk-side diagnosis but having a thorough firsthabd diagnosis by a competent technician would be the best course of action to pinpoint the source. If you have any other questions feel free to give us a call at 877-913-1554! We'll be happy to help or find you a certified shop in your area!
