ANALYSISHow safe is the 2024 Chrysler Pacifica Awd?
The 2024 Chrysler Pacifica AWD earns an Exceptional 95 out of 100 on our computed Safety Index. This score reflects a strong performance across federal safety criteria, though it marks a four-point decrease from the 2023 model's 99/100. A defining characteristic for 2024 is the Pacifica AWD's pristine recall record, with zero recalls reported. This directly contributes 18.5 out of 20 possible points to its defect-record sub-score. Crash-avoidance technology also achieves a perfect 10 out of 10, credited to standard features such as forward collision warning, lane departure warning, and electronic stability control. Crash protection scores 66 out of 70 points, bolstered by a 5-star overall crash rating from NHTSA, with particularly strong results in frontal and side impact tests. The primary factor in the Safety Index's retreat from the previous year is the volume of owner complaints, totaling 36 reported incidents. This introduces modest downward pressure on the defect component. While excelling in most crash tests, the Pacifica AWD received 4 out of 5 stars for rollover, indicating a 12 percent rollover risk, the only crash-test element not to achieve a perfect mark.
