Far fewer Too few recent reports to judgeNHTSA has received 11 owner complaints about the 2026 Chrysler Pacifica, or 11.0 per year on the road — far fewer complaints than typical (complaint index 0.27, where 1.00 is the average of all tracked vehicles). Among the 73 model-year 2026 vehicles we track, it ranks #41 of 73 by complaints per year (#1 = fewest). Against other Chrysler models its rate is 78% lower; against other Minivans it is 79% lower.
Counts are normalized by time on the road, not by sales volume: a popular model generates more reports than a rare one, and complaints are not verified individually. How we count
Limited data: fewer than 30 complaints, so shares and indexes are unstable.
Complaints filed between 2025-09-29 and 2026-09-03. Median delay from incident to filing: 17 days.
