In owners' own words
Stalling and loss of power, the car computer reader code is P0305. 5th cylinder misfire, and a P0300 cylinder misfire. 2017 pacifica with 62,000 miles and there are tons of people with the same issue around the same mileage. Funny how the drivetrain warranty ends at 55,000 miles and all of these Pacificas are failing at 60,000 - 80,000 with blown headgaskets or bad cylinders. $2000-$12000 depending on what blew. Engine

Hey everyone! I hope you're all doing well. I wanted to share an issue I've been facing with my 2017 Chrysler Pacifica, which I bought brand new back in 2017. Unfortunately, I'm currently experiencing a lack of heat while driving, and it turns out that the engine head gasket is blown and leaking coolant. It's quite disappointing to learn that this seems to be a common problem, with an ongoing lawsuit related to it. Engine
