Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Minivan Vehicle Explosions and Fires
Lieff Cabraser’s automotive defects team is investigating reports that 2017-2018 Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid Electric Vehicles have a serious defect that can cause the Pacifica minivans to explode and/or catch fire, posing a deadly risk not only to drivers and passengers but also to homes, garages, sheds, and other cars and buildings near which the vehicles are parked.
Fiat Chrysler issued a self-styled “safety recall” in February 2022 for over 16,000 affected hybrid Pacifica minivans manufactured between August of 2016 and August of 2018 sold in the U.S., but that so-called recall did not direct owners and lessees to physically return the vehicles, but rather merely provided an “advisory” that users of the vehicles should refrain from recharging them and park them far from structures and other vehicles.
Owners describe the now-unchargeable Pacifica minivans as “time-bombs” awaiting spontaneous detonation, posing a constant threat to their homes and families, and argue that Chrysler needs to take immediate responsibility for the potentially lethal vehicles.
