I went out to the car, started it, and tried to put it in Drive, but it wouldn’t go. ---

Well being a 2025 year model, I would call the dealer and have it towed to them… You will get a much better answer if you give accurate information including year make model, milage, and some more detailed info, like does it make a noise when in gear, or is this over night or after being driven for a while etc etc… ---

Contact the dealer and ask them what to do. As @davesmopar said, they will likely have it towed to their shop. ---

Based on what [cars.com](http://cars.com) published ~2 weeks ago, I am a bit skeptical that the OP’s Pacifica is really a 2025 model: _The 2025 Chrysler Pacifica will go on sale later in 2024. Pricing will be available closer to its on-sale date._ [https://www.cars.com/articles/chrysler-simplifies-2025-pacifica-minivan-lineup-488385/#:~:text=Availability%20and%20Pricing,to%20its%20on-sal](https://www.cars.com/articles/chrysler-simplifies-2025-pacifica-minivan-lineup-488385/#:~:text=Availability%20and%20Pricing,to%20its%20on%2Dsal) e%20date. Assuming that the OP’s **non** -2025 Pacifica is still covered by warranty, then–as others mentioned–it should be towed to the dealership. If it’s no longer covered by warranty, then a well-reputed indy mechanic may be able to find the problem and fix it. ---

It wouldn’t go into drive, or didn’t do anything when put into drive. If you can’t get it out of park, usually there is an emergency that overrides the brake pedal. Usually a key slot that you insert the key in. It would be in the owners manual. ---

Yep, pretty typical for the _ **Ask Someone** _ threads from car complaints thingy… Sad part is, the mod/admin change the wording to get ride of the Ask Someone part so there is no easy way to track (on our end anyway) how many are one and done’s… ---

I would guess the one and done posts are more than 80%. Plus, many just magically disappear. I have tried messaging the posters, but nothing. I have tried posting in car complaints, nothing shows. IMHO, car complaints is a very poorly designed website. ---

> [@Purebred](#): > > car complaints is a very poorly designed website. I expect the posters there are throwing hail-Mary passes, thinking while they might get lucky the “ask someone who owns one” approach _might_ produce a good result, it probably will produce nothing of interest they don’t already know. So when they see nothing of interest appear in their cell- phone messages , they figure they were right, and just delete the messages. So there’s no need to post back. The whole ask “someone who owns one” idea, while it might seem like a good method, I don’t recall many examples of someone who owns the same car having the same problem.
