Is 13 complaints a lot? They were filed between 2023 and 2025, roughly 6 a year, which is fewer than the typical model in this dataset. We do not have sales figures for this model, so treat this as a rough volume, not a rate per car on the road. Popular, high-volume models naturally collect more complaints over time.

How does it compare with other years? The 2022 has 13 complaints on file, fewer than the 2021 (22). Of the 4 model years of the Chrysler Pacifica Hybrid we cover, the 2018 has the most (133). Older model years have had longer to collect complaints.
