While driving approximately 35mph and without any warning, the vehicle suddenly slammed on the brakes and came to a stop in the middle of the road.

We were able to slowly power through the brakes to a nearby parking lot. We could not turn off the car or put the transmission in Park or Neutral, it was completely immobilized. All of the transmission lights were on and could…

While driving on the freeway, check engine light came on, all acceleration power was lost, car directed me to “put car in park, press brake, and push start button.” This led to extremely dangerous situation of having to navigate traffic and reach the shoulder with no ability to accelerate. Vehicle was powered down and restarted and was able to return to the road. This has happened 10 times total. This is the first reoccurrence since getting the power inverter module replaced at the dealership four days ago.

I brought my Hybrid Pacifica in Fed,2022. Last month it just lost power while I was driving and after that engine light up. Need to wait couple minutes to restart the engine and this issue has been reproduced every day. I brought the car to the dealership and they confirm the issue, they did update the software(recalls) but did work. so far they hold the car for a month waiting for parts to replace.
