Chrysler Pacifica Reviews

Bought my 05 Pacifica, used with high miles, for a good price before I read any of the many horror stories that I've read about now because I really liked the body and family members that have the same car - love it. But nonetheless I bought it and put quite a few more miles on it as mine has 240000 miles on it and I'm now needing front struts and motor mounts and a timing belt and I'll fix these things. And hopefully put another 100000 on her cause it looks and drives great with plenty of room. Our whole family loves it. One thing I don't understand is the short few years they made these and with all the bad reviews, I sure see them EVERYWHERE and I literally mean at least 1 every 2 miles I drive and I live in Michigan. But overall great car (maybe I got one made on a Wednesday instead of the famous drunk Friday or hangover Monday). LOL. Hope this helps someone out there.

This crossover has been great for my family of four and easy for my wife to handle. Great alternative to a van. No problems on the road, and a comfort for long trips. I believe that the 2006 model was still manufactured with Daimler, that may contribute to its success. But with any vehicle, if you take care of it, it will take care of you!

I bought a 2007 Pacifica 5 years ago. Had 30,000 miles on it when I bought it and now have 200,000 miles on it. I commute an hour to work everyday and so far the only problem I have had with mine is I just had to put new bearings on it. But other than that have had no issues or problems whatsoever. Has been a great car. I can fit 6 in it comfortably and get 24 miles per gallon. Best car I have ever had!

Bought 2007 base model Pacifica used, 70K miles. Piece of crap. Took it on a road trip and was stranded 50 miles from destination. Just shifted itself from 4th on highway to 1st, then stalled completely later in 1st while limping along. No indicators, codes read misfire. Got a mini-tune up-- spark plugs, wires, replaced an injector. Mechanic told me the motor mounts are shot and some kind of leak in evap. Ran better after that and got me home with the check engine light on the whole way.

2007 Pacifica w/ 78K miles won't start - I purchased a lifetime bumper to bumper warranty when I purchased this auto. In 2012 the car began not starting. No clicking, not cranking. My wife discovered that if we waited until all the dash lights quit clicking & stabilized, it usually started. When the car would get to the dealer, it would start. It only refused to crank intermittently. Then this year (2015) the car wouldn't start even after 15 tries. We have had Chrysler on board with this problem since the beginning in 2012. When it wouldn't start we had Chrysler on the cell & the rep heard the problem.

Bought the 2006 Chrysler Pacifica ten days ago. At first it was great. Now stalls if you press on brake. And engine sounds loud like a diesel. Can't find the cause.

I have an 06 Pacifica. I bought it last year with 100K. I bought it in July. It was unable to pass a state inspection until November. Seriously. As I left the dealership when I bought it, it dropped "oil" and "check engine" lights. Seriously. The oil light was due to the oil pump being faulty. The check engine light was an EVAP code, which is apparently pretty vague on these. The dealership had the car nearly constantly for four months. July to November, I drove their loaners way more than my own car. In the end, the dealership tried replacing every part in the system in the order of cost... but I needed TWO new fuel pumps (the car has two) to get the light to go away. Talk about losing your shirt on a sale.

I am still a kid but my memory is not sharp so bear with me. When I was 4 we lived in the Jacksonville area of Florida. We were not completely straight where money went. One day my mom came home from work in a shiny new 2005 Pacifica Touring. It was nice and quiet, had heated seats and black leather seats with three rows and wood trim. It had luxury all over it. When the problems started we were driving to Atlanta because my mom had a business trip. We were on a dirt road and my mom hit a big rock. She kept on driving thinking nothing of it. Then when we turned on another dirt road the car just started steaming up and just stopped working. My mom kept pressing on a gas pedal but the car was just dead. So since it was all electric the brakes weren't working either so she just slowly pulled off the road into a ditch. We all just got out of the car and waited for a tow truck.

I bought my 2007 Pacifica in February this year. Within 30 days my engine light started going off and on. Took it to auto parts. Sensor code said o2 sensor gone. Light would keep going off and on. Making hard right turns hear a loud noise in right front tire compartment. Someone said "could just be a piece of plastic." Noticed last week running just a little rough. Last night while driving to work something happened and I noticed it whining. I pulled over and put into park. When all traffic stopped I put into gear and started driving. At about 30 mph whining again and would not shift. Made it to work.

Blown engine before 80,000, replace for a cost of over 3000!!! Now cradle that holds engine is rusted through making car undrivable.

I brought a 2005 Pacific, it's been almost three years... from the first day I brought this car I have had nothing but trouble with it. First thing that happen was the night I brought the car home was fine, the next day I wake up and my car door wouldn't open, so I took the car back to the dealer. It took them two days to fix it, and since then I put a new motor, transmission, new tires, timing belt, water pump, oil changes, tune ups, muffler... I spend over 18,000.00 fixing it. And now my car check engine light started to blink tonight and along with that I smell burned rubber. Can someone tell me what's wrong with it? This car is my only way back to work, and to treatment appointments.

My car is a 2004 Pacifica and I have had it since 2009. My parents gave it to me with 100,000 miles on it maybe. I do a lot of driving and it's an AWD so this is my second time replacing all four tires. Presently, I have been having a problem with the gas tank not taking a full tank at once. This started off as taking gas slow and not registering how much gas is in the tank. Now it usually only takes like 14 gallons at a time. It depends on the weather. I have had some minor electrical problems. Even after having these problems I would say the money paid for it was well worth it. Male foreigners always stop me at the gas pump and ask about my car. They all want to know, "what year is it," when I respond, "an 04," they respond, "you know who made it, the Germans, that's the only one. "

I see a lot of negatives on the Pacifica and I'm sure they are right, but have to give you my story. I have a 2004 Pacifica getting ready to turn 180,000 miles this week. I love this car!!! For many reasons but most of all it saved my life. I'm hard on cars, gas and brake person so that in itself takes a good car. This past yr I was in a bad accident, my fault, it was pouring very very hard and didn't see a stopped gray Volvo in front of me on the road. I hit her doing 55 mph. I came out untouched except for mark from airbag under steering. All my airbags deployed but only half as car had sensor to know whether I needed full impact or half, my face thanks that!!! My headlights didn't even brake. Barely any damage. I was so proud of my car. I still drive her everyday.

I am an owner of a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. The Car has only 50,500 miles on it. And it's been meticulously taken care of. Beautiful on the interior and exterior. BUT..... I had issues with the Power Steering at 36,000 miles and had to replace the pump @ $1500.00 cost to me. Yep not warranted! Recently I took it in for an oil change and upon inspection the service adviser notified me of an issue of rusting on The Sub frame (Engine Carriage). I was notified that there are several holes rusted through and that it is a serious safety hazard. It could cause the engine to literally fall out, collision, and possibly bodily harm or death. The service adviser notified me that this is a very common issue with the Chrysler Pacifica. I decided to do an investigation and verified over the internet that there have been multiple complaints to Chrysler concerning this issue.

My husband and I were looking for a safe, reliable vehicle to be able to travel and see our son and his family who is in the army. We found this 2004 Chrysler Pacifica at a used car dealership in Cadillac Michigan. After taking it for a test drive we told them it had a vibration in the front and the check engine light was on. They said they would check it over and call us. Upon returning home I googled 2004 Crysler Pacifica problems. The first thing that showed up was the engine cradle rot. Being aware of the problem, when the dealer called us to let us know he had the check engine problem fixed and the vibration was gone, we asked him about having it checked for the engine cradle rot that we had learned about. He said that wasn't a problem because he was taking it in to get the oil changed for us anyways and he would call when he got back from checking it all out.

I have a 2005 Pacifica that I bought brand new and now have 133,000 miles on it. I have had a problem with the accelerator in the past. It catches when I try to depress it. This has happened 3 times now. The first time was probably at 70,000 miles, the next time was around 100,000 miles and now again. To fix it the shop has "cleaned my fuel system" or maybe they told me they flushed the fuel system. I find this to be a ridiculous expensive (yes only $100) fix. Does anyone out there know how to deal with this situation without taking it to the shop?

I purchased this used car Nov. 19 2014. The engine light came on less than a month of me owning the vehicle but it kept going off and on. The mechanic couldn't diagnose problem. Once I didn't drive the car too often due to that. Dec. 13 light stayed on after trying to get it in. Upon availability and convenience I took it in Jan. on catalyst system/relay switch. Dealership manager ** stated they will pay half. I decided to bring car in once I had the money..

I have loved my 05 chrysler pacifica, never had to replace anything other than brakes, tires, and oil, and I upgraded the light bulbs! It has been a real blessing to own. The only thing that would help was if the angle of the lights were different and the glare on the windshield at night is bothersome at times. Also i wish i could get a grill bar for it but unable to get one. Other than that it runs great, I have 189,823 miles on the car and it's doing great!

My 04 PACIFICA, motor mounts replaced twice (believe going again), replaced radiator, brakes, struts, links, parking brake release (2), sticking throttle, driver window regulator, temp/ac panel illumination, shifter sticking. Recently the oil light illuminated and went off. I purchased the Pacifica with 4000 mi, in 2004. Today's mileage is 161748 miles.

Motor mounts defective. Had to replace them twice in the same year. Since then, accelerates badly.

I have been having a problem putting fuel in the tank. It does not fill normally. The gas pumps click off after a few gallons then I have to start it very slow in order to fill it. I was told that the EVAP system was the problem so I replaced all the EVAP parts but still have the same problem. I think the manufacturer should have a recall on this problem or tell us what it is so we can all fix it without replacing the whole gas tank.

We had a 2006 Pacifica. The alternator, the mount of the transmission and motor mount, overhauled the transmission, put a starter, and the sensor light stayed on. After doing work on it we couldn't afford to continue to do work and we realized the motor was going bad and we had just overhauled the transmission. I loved my truck. It rode smooth, plenty of room which was comfortable and it was fully loaded the top of the line. I was very satisfied for 2 years and after had difficult problems I became dissatisfied.

I Love my 2007 Chrysler Pacific. I wish they would make more of them but the problem with the motor mounts and the engine is the tuning valve motor - that part needs to be recalled and Chrysler needs to get more parts on hand.

Driving going about 40mph, car shut off. The car will shut off when temperature drops below 20 degrees. Restarted car drove 2 more miles, car shut off. The same thing happened last winter. I would like to hear from other victims, I mean other Pacifica owners. I think there needs to be a recall. This could have been a deadly accident.

I have a 2004, I loved it when i got it about 2 years ago, a few months before winter. Soon after I noticed I was going through a set of rear tires every 3 to 4 months. I found out that winter when the rear end of the car kicked out and put me in to a ditch on I-71. So I did some research and found that this was a common problem with some 2004s caused by the camber arms being too short.

2006 Chrysler pacifica touring - I’ve owned this car for 4 years. I currently have 126,000 miles on it. Regular maintenance. Oil burner I guess as they can’t find no leaks but every 3k when oil gets changed it’s a quart and a half low. I replaced battery, tires, brakes, 02 sensor which is all pretty normal. Now my car is at the dealer as it dies or stalls with no warning. I checked with Chrysler and the 2 modules on recall for the 06 supposedly were not on my particular car. We shall see what the dealer says. Just find it funny that my car is having same issues. For last 2 years my washer fluid light works backwards. Granted I was in a small accident and jug was replaced since light works opposite. When fluid is full empty light is on, when fluid is empty light goes off. And for last year my gas cap light stays on which makes my engine light stay on.. However since this trouble this week both lights went out. Odd. I can say I won’t be buying another Chrysler.

Purchased a new 2007 base 5 passenger model. Added a trailer hitch and heavy duty rear struts. This car has done everything I asked for 150,000 miles without protest. Daily use plus towing a 4000lb trailer cross-country twice a year mostly in 3rd gear hour after hour, she still doesn't burn any oil. I've gone through two sets of tires, two brake jobs, a battery, and normal maintenance items. Broken parts include motor mounts which made operation of the vehicle noisy but still road-worthy until I could get them replaced, spark coil (missed & backfired when it failed but made it 200 miles to the next major town), and a broken shifter. The shifter broke in my driveway and after doing a little research online, was able to fix it myself for the cost of a cotter pin ($0.50). I recently bought a RAM pickup for the trailer hauling these days, but still use the trusty Pacifica as a daily driver.

In 2 years I have replaced 6 motor mounts on my 2004 vehicle.

I have a Chrysler Pacifica 04 - loved the car when got it 2 years ago. I have the half tank problem - never really knowing how gas is actually in car. It would go from half to empty in seconds. Then came this unknown problem that I will be calling Chrysler about because my mechanic can't figure what's wrong after replacing 4 sensors map, idle control, causing misfire in engine. My whole thing is this I thought I winterized my car, oil changed every 3000 miles, tune ups regularly. Now I'm scared to drive cause of stalling and horrible sound like my engine about to fall out. I have invested too much money and hope Chrysler has a solution to these issues.

I have 2005 pacifica and had many problems such as thermostat system were all antifreeze leak out that cost $1300. Then I had a problems with ac unit had that replace that was not problem then took it back, because was not blowing out cold air took it back the shop. Said it was ac compressor had that fix that was not problem, my abs light is on and brake lights is on. I had radiator replace that was not problems. Then start to shut off on me check engine light is on took it to have diagnostic test done said it was computer chip that all the codes coming on had that fix that was not the problem then call me to say my water pump and timing needed to be replace had that fix. Got into the car crank it up to drive it home nor even a half a mile if I put my foot on the gas to give it gas it did not want to drive. Now my car will not go in drive or reverse.

First transmission went out at 87,000! Was under an extended warranty! Second, gear shifter went out on Mother's Day night at dinner. Waited on tow truck until 3 AM, $476 fix plus tow. Now the engine lock up on the highway which made my wife make an emergency pull over. That I believe caused the belt to break a little piece off and destroy a value, which now needs a whole new engine.

I am the original purchaser of a 2007 Pacifica front wheel drive. For a $35,000 car that is 7 years old I am truly disappointed. I have owned Chryslers since my 1963 Dodge Dart. They have always been sound sturdy and safe... until now. Like so many of you... my engine cradle is rusted and will need to be welded or replaced. Our second car is a 96 Tahoe which has less rust than the Pacifica. I am tempted to park it on a major highway with a sign that states my dissatisfaction. It has a passenger side clunk in the front end which no one can find the cause for, not to mention the oil it burns since it purchased..... This will be the last CHRYSLER I WILL OWN... UNACCEPTABLE QUALITY WITHOUT SUPPORT FROM THE MAKER... WHICH IS UNACCEPTABLE. If this is how Chrysler responds to their customers, they do not need my money... LET THE CONSUMER DRIVE THE FUTURE OF CHRYSLER MOTORS. I guess all good things come to an end.

I have a 2007 Pacifica. I have had nothing but problems with this vehicle. First it ran good for about a year. We had to replace the fuel pumps not once but twice which cost me $1500.00 plus a tow charge. Then had another tow charge cause my gas cap light came on and then my engine light and it died completely. Replaced the torque converter which cost me $1300.00 and now the engine light is back on again. The dealership won't take responsibility for this because it's not a brand new vehicle. I would like to know who to contact about this because most families can not go out and buy a new vehicle. I still owe $8000 on this. Please help.

We've had our 2007 Pacifica for several years now, have absolutely loved it until recently. We have about 140k on it now. This car and the Crossfire are more Mercedes than Chrysler, built during the time Daimler and Chrysler were working together. They're SO German, in fact, that Chrysler was forced to cease production of both cars when Daimler pulled out. Overall, it's a really nice, comfortable car with a gorgeous interior and excellent performance. The touring model has a third row making it an excellent alternative to a minivan. If they still made this car, I'd buy a new one in a heartbeat. Reading through all of these posts, it seems evident the class has certain problems, most seem to be associated with higher mileage or how you drive them.

2004 pacifica 3.5 - Bought it 4 years ago with 100,000 on it. Have driven it 95,000 more miles and it has not had a major (over $500 repair) yet. Have had several other repairs ranging in the $100-$400 like motor mounts, etc. Get average of 21 mpg. No ac problems. Does not drive smooth on the highway. Trying to decide whether to sell it before the major stuff or drive until the wheels fall off. I keep my cars well maintained.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica, - When this year was made at the factory, a poor design. The air condition drainage dripped on a piece of steel and ran down and lodged on the Cradle causing the cradle to actually rust, causing accidents that could have easily been prevent.

So pretty much I bought this car back in May 2014. Since then I have spent $3000 in repairs and the majority was in the front end suspension. Since May 2014 I have had to replace the struts, strut mounts, and axle. Now I thought it was the company sending my mechanic the wrong parts and each time it was a different brand he used. So anyways, my mechanic starts to do all 4 of my engine mounts and when he gets to the last one and has to drop the subframe to the Pacifica, there is nothing but RUST! So him & I start inspecting my car and come to find there is so much rust that I tried to jack up my car 2 week ago and it went right through the side of the car (where you would pump your car up when you get a flat and have to use the stock jack in the car).

As other consumers have indicated, this car has some of the same problems. Lurching forward when accelerating from a stop (Similar to sticking accelerator or carburetor problem in cars of old). Recently had timing belt replaced and before that, the catalytic converter replaced. It does have a broken motor mount. In last month the car stalled in an intersection while turning. It then started and drove off. 1-2 weeks later, the vehicle wouldn't start while in the driveway at home. The battery was replaced two weeks ago. The engine light is on. Two major codes come up: Catalytic Converter and Service Immobilizer. Local shop is trying to diagnose the problem. The rest of the story is still to be written.

04 Pacifica - For an amazingly beautiful and comfortable car, it is just sad that it is also an amazing piece of crap. At 50k miles the motor mounts were replaced by Chrysler under an unpublished recall. By 88k miles the motor needed replaced due to warped heads... engine light never even blinked when that happened.. ended up with brown mud throughout the motor. $3k later it was fixed. Then came the tie rod ends, the motor mounts AGAIN, the horrifying clunking sounds, etc. Oh.. and by 102k miles, the replacement engine BLEW the same way the original motor did only worse and cost another $5800. The horrible clunking sound everyone talks about is from metal connected to the tie rod ends banging backward against the frame... yep, fixed that too.... thankfully have a friend who is a mechanic... fixed it for $300 instead of the $750 that the shop that installed motor #2 wanted.

We bought this car with 7K miles, a Chrysler buy back due to California issues with transmission. Now, 20K miles. Had some issues with a drain on the battery, I fixed in about 20 minutes. Very satisfied, comfortable, plenty of room. Gas mileage is average, always could be better. Wish Chrysler still made them. I'd buy one tomorrow.

I have owned my 2006 Pacifica touring since 2007, with 29000 miles on it. I have loved it! I have periodically had "gasoline" smells inside the cab. It burns oil like crazy...but still I stand by it. It is now 2014 and it's the first time I've had it in the "shop". It has 146000 miles on it. They think maybe fuel pump. Still thinking I picked a very good vehicle.

All 4 motor mounts failed on 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. It happened in 2 separate incidents. As I was driving, I began to notice a clunking sound coming from the engine compartment, mostly when beginning to accelerate from a complete stop or when stopping abruptly. On the second occasion, I also felt a thumping sensation through the floor by the gas pedal in conjunction with the clunking noise. I can understand an occasional part failing, but when ALL 4 are defective, that is clearly a manufacturer's issue and should be subject to recall. It should not be the consumer's responsibility to pay for the cost of faulty design. The cost to replace them was over $1,500.

I traded my Cadillac for my first 2004 Chrysler pacifica, drove it forever then got a 2006 Pacifica. It has over 112 thousand miles on it, I love the design, the way it rides and the third seat, the only problem I have had is a transmission grommet broke and was repaired at no cost to me. Every now and then I hear a knock noise when I accelerate and let off, but it never has caused any issues? Not sure what it but I'm going to get that checked out, but I love my car and wish they would start making them again...

2006 Chrysler Pacifica. Engine frequently shuts off when driving..usually when engine is not yet completely warmed up... Dangerous situations..stopping in the middle of intersections on curves and in the middle of the street in front of other vehicles without any warning. Lots of lights go off on dashboard..usually ABS etc. We purchased the car from Enterprise car rentals with 11,000 miles. Where do we go to get this fixed?

My car did the same things but I was driving on i94 east doing seventy miles an hour and it just shut off. Thank God neither me nor my dad in the passenger side were hurt. Chrysler put up a recall for something in the vehicle called a pcm - power control module. That's what my car needed and it was sent back to the dealership and fixed in 07 but this just happened to me last week so I contacted Daimler Chrysler which is corporate and they're looking into it. If it is the pcm like the mechanic said, they will cover the cost to fix it again, labor and all. I hope you see this, it will save you a lot of money if your vehicle was one of the recalls. You just call Daimler Chrysler and give them your vehicle vin number and they will let you know if your specific vehicle was up for the recall for the pcm.

I bought a 2004 Pacifica when it had only 11000 kms on it. I owned it for 8 years, and never had a problem. The car is very tough, as I had to drive through a few ditches on occasion and over a few cement curbs, and it always did what I wanted and got me to where I wanted to go. Not once did it stall or let me down. It was base model package. I had to do the usual brakes, tune ups, etc., but not one problem with motor or anything else. I was hoping to buy a newer model, but they stopped making this car... Too bad for me.

I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica Touring AWD. Have had this car for almost 4 years and problem after problem with it. Once one thing is fixed another breaks! Have had to put new ignition switch housing unit, PCM (was actually a recall so they covered it), both front lower left and right control arms. Also front right strut and strut housing because it was so rotted out it went through my HOOD! The topper of this list is the sub frame, it's so bad it's either park it or let the bank take it back. Called Chrysler and they said this is the first time they heard of this problem before and there's nothing they could do since I'm not the original owner. Looking at these forums and seeing hundreds of people complaining of the same problem makes this very hard to believe. Not sure what to do next but there has to be something. As of right now the whole CV axle is also rusted out, seals leaking oil, like I said just a big rust bucket!!! Wouldn't recommend anyone to buy this car. It's a big POS!!!

Chrysler Pacifica 2006 - 3 days ago while over my neighbors house (A woman with 3 kids who has always, ALWAYS put her children's safety as #1 on their list) asked me if I could put the trim back on her shift. Earlier that day, she was at a stop light, & the car stalled. So she put it in park, & It took her 3 or 4 times of cranking the engine to get it running. But when it started, she said it continued to ding for about 10-15 seconds longer than normal. Then she looked down and saw that ALL of the dash lights had came on & stayed on as if the the key was in the ON position without the engine running.

I bought a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica in late July of this year from a Jeep dealership with exactly 100K miles. I really like the basic idea the car offers me: Room. Nobody's cramped. I can haul trash to the dump (I don't have the 3rd row seat). It's All Wheel Drive. It isn't ugly. Previous to this, I drove a 2002 Volvo V70. I swapped cars with my dad and he wound up destroying it, which led me to purchase this car. I didn't have much time to shop.

My daughter drives a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. She has had problems from day one. It has left her stranded time after time, and every time it needs another part. When it does run, the smell of gasoline inside the car leaves her sick and with a headache. Gas gauge drops to empty at the halfway mark, never knows how much gas is in the tank. The alternator has been changed twice along with speed sensors. After reading these complaints and having the same complaints, there is no doubt in my mind that the Chrysler Pacifica should be recalled and taken off the road. This car is dangerous and not mechanically fit to be driven on public roads not to mention the lives at risk. There is just too many issues concerning the Pacifica. Honestly, I fear for the lives of my daughter and my grandchildren in this car. I feel there should be some concern of the customers' safety. They have no problem selling you the car, leaving you unaware that you are buying a death trap.

I recently start making payments on a Pacifica 2006. The first week I noticed something that smelled like gas. I asked my husband to look at the car and when he put gas in the tank it started spewing everywhere. We took it to a mechanic and recorded on video what he said... the gas tank has never been bolted or strapped down that is why gas is leaking everywhere and the gas tank looked so low to the ground... whoever sold it never even looked it over... smh... Then I see all these other complaints. I want to give this death trap back...

Loose motor mounts repair cost $800, no warranty. Under 89,000 miles.

I bought a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica used with 159,000 miles. I loved it. I am hard on cars and expect a lot. I travel a lot and have 4 boys so between them and friends, every in. of the car is put to the test. Never a single problem. Just oil changes (3,500 miles a month). I was in a car accident this past Tues. Pouring rain and didn't see the stopped turning car in front of me. I hit her full force. I came out without a scratch. Just marks on my legs from the airbag below the steering wheel. I have been in 4 major accidents from others hitting me and I am used to huge SUVs, sold Navigator for Pacifica. Anyhow this car really took care of me and on the outside, the grill was smashed. Cracked headlight and hood small 1 inch shift!

Chrysler 2006 Pacifica - Have always have had problem with the oil. For some reason it need to be changed every 3 months. My gas pedal was getting stuck also. I took it in and asked if there was any recalls on the car, they said no. I was very surprise they did not do a recall on this since I almost hit someone because my pedal was stuck. In the winter my steering wheel make a screeching loud noise when I turn right. My brother bought a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica and his transition blow up. Not good...

I have a Chrysler Pacifica and I have had nothing but problems. Pretty much I need a new car and the whole bottom is rusted out. It's junk and this is **. Very angry. When I took it they told me 7 more cars the same as me had the same problems. What's the chances of that and my two friends have the same car both rusted? Chrysler needs to do something ASAP.

I'm reading everyone else reviews and my mouth is on the floor. Thought I was the only one going through this annoying problems with my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica car. Was awesome for all of 30 days then it just killed on me in the middle of traffic. Gas gauge never shows how much gas you really have - goes from half to empty in a matter of seconds. Brakes makes a clunking or clicking nose when I push down too hard. Had to replace alternator. AC doesn't work - blows out hot air if it does. Front seat control works sometime. Dashboard is cracked. Have oil leak I've gotten fixed twice and I'm still paying on this car. Horrible on gas.

Last week my battery light came on. So bought a brand new one, the best I could buy from the auto store. Less than a week later died again. Then as I'm driving, my car is slipping bad and jerking while I'm driving. Get a code reader and it has something to do with crankshaft sensor. So hopefully that is the problem. But my car is now, for the last few months going from half full to empty and the e light comes on and yes you guessed it. She sure as hell stalled and acted like it had no gas. And not to mention, my accelerator pedal sticks, every now and then, stalls when she wants to.

The accelerator keeps sticking. I almost ran over my grand kids the other day. It did it in reverse and I ran into the garage. OMG, this is an awful vehicle....help!

I bought my Pacifica from CarMax in White Marsh Md. It seemed wonderful for about 30 days. After that, it has constantly been in the shop for chronic wheel, strut, ball and joint, arm joint, and bearing problems. It has been in different shops including CarMax many times for the same thing. One time, my struts came through the top of my hood - my struts have been changed so many times. The car continues to make this cracking popping noise. Besides this, the car is always rocking which I am driving. It also rumbles as if I am riding on broken pavement even on smooth streets. When I turn the corner, it squeaks and rocks.

The frame is rusted and uninspectable.

I have owned my Pacifica since May of 2008. I found out the issue about a year ago from my mechanic but was told by a local Dealer when I took it to them then, there was no recall on it. I was told to pay $3000.00+ to replace the Engine Cradle. I did not have that kind of money so I have been taking a chance and have been driving it. Now the rust is so bad I have been advised to either Park it or fix it-- NOT safe to drive. I need to park the car until I figure out a way to get this matter resolved.

This car is the worst car I have ever owned. I have owned many Chrysler cars over the years, But never had the issues that I have had with my 2004 Pacifica. Motor Mounts changed multiple times, Electrical issues, Computer changed twice, Tie rods ... The car burns a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Brand new, the car burned oil... insane. Now the chassis is rotting out... Please keep in mind my car only has 53,000 miles on it... Don't buy a Pacifica... Chrysler knows that this car is just bad and won't own up to their responsibility to make it right.

Took my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in for oil change and they told me that the cradle that holds the engine as well as the arms of the cradle are rusted out and recommended that I do not even drive home because the engine could fall out. They gave me an estimate of $4000 for a new frame. I just finished paying the car off and now I can't drive it or afford to fix it! It has just over 100,000 miles on it. I am finding out that I am not the only one this has happened to.

Bought my 04 Pacifica from the original owner at about 55K miles. Perfect car at the time, fully loaded, wonderful for road trips with the children and has DVD and wireless headphones, which the headphones were the first to go...... I continually have to keep tires at perfect air or the tire system light will go on. At this point, that is the least of my worries. I have had to have the windshield replaced, due to a dink in the glass and even though afterwards the company would not own that they may have not sealed it right. I now have a leaking car from almost every place water can come in: windshield, windows and sunroof. Now that I live with duct tape around every crevice, (which BTW works very well until it gets too hot, unsticks and starts flopping around on the highway like an SOS flag) I also have an engine light on.

Today my local Chrysler dealer informed me that my 2004 Pacifica needs a catalytic converter among other things. I spent thousands of dollars for repairs and upkeep. (Replaced engine mounts, water pump, rotors and etc.) Also the power seat memory module is shot. A slick salesman offered me $1800 to take off my hands and finance another Chrysler for me. Forget it. My second car is a Toyota Camry and has 127,000 miles and no expensive repairs. The Pacifica has 105,000 miles, go figure. So long Chrysler, I am buying a Toyota next week.

I bought my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica Touring AWD used with 80,000 miles on it March 2014. In May the service immobilizer light started coming on and it would not start. Someone told me it was my key so I got another one programmed. No, that was not the problem. Then someone said it was my battery. No not that either, got a new one. Now I'm told it's the factory alarm system and that my car thinks it's being stolen... has anyone had that problem, if so what did you do?

I literally just purchase a Chrysler Pacifica today and by the time I drove it to my sister house and back, it cut off. At first I thought maybe it was the battery from sitting too long. However, once I jump-started it and tried to put it in gear, it cut off several times. Then about an hour later I went back to see if it would start and all the lights flicked as if it was something electrical. I may have lost all of my money for a lemon.

We are the original owners of a 2007 Pacifica. A little over a year ago, the vehicle began dying when we were driving--usually at low speeds. But this shut off the power steering and power brakes, and probably, the airbags. Since the GM problems, I've become more worried about this. We took this to the dealer last July (2013) who charged us $625 for a wiring connector. The problem became better, but then in January of 2014, we had more problems, which cost us $1700 and though the vehicle ran better, we still encountered stalling. Took it back: new battery. More stalling: another $1000.

Have a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica that just cuts off going down the road??? Replace crank sensor and cam sensor from check engine light. Took to Chrysler. They said it had to be reprogrammed. Charged me $110. Left dealership. Did same thing cut off going down the road. Now told it's alternator problem. Replaced it and same thing-- cuts off again in traffic, about was hit?! Now at a loss what to do? Anyone have any ideas?

I got the serious problems from this model recently. It costs thousands dollars to fix the problems, but the case is still unsolved. First, my ABS and brake light keep on and off. When the light is on, it makes a "ding " sound and cut off my radio and interior lights are flickering. Go to the mechanic and even the dealer, they both can't find the problem and can't fix. Secondly, the converter and related issues got fix two times which cost me more than 3 thousands recently. Thirdly, very seriously, the car stops suddenly on me few times while driving. And talked to my mechanic. He said he did not find anything wrong. This car really gets me mixed with scary and nerve. Don't know how much still need to put on this horrible and unreliable car!! And how to fix the problems?? Don't want have any serious accident while driving!! This car really need to be recalled!!!! Btw, My car just has around 88000 miles.

I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica, manufacture date of 6/04. We purchased this car in 2009 while living in Western NY. We have since moved to North Carolina. Last year I noticed that the car would lunge forward after coming to a complete stop, and it was making a sound from the front of the car when this happened. I took it to a dealer that told me the underneath of my car is rusted out and that two of the engine mounts were broken. He told me that my engine could have fallen out while I was driving down the road. (Scared me to death as I have two kids.)

In December 2013, I bought a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica from Randy Wise Ford. Last month we found out that the vehicle needs new tie rods, struts and that the sub-frame is rusted and has holes. Called the dealership to let them know what was going on to which he said that he legally could not have sold me the car if it was that bad. I am noticing that there are several people out there with the same issue of a rusted frame. When I spoke to the dealer, I told him I expected some wear and tear as it was a used car; however, the sub-frame is unacceptable! They were not willing to do anything about the frame and told me that it must have happened during the 6 months that I've owned the vehicle. I am not stupid enough to believe; just not sure where to go from here. Called the Chrysler Group due to the 'extended warranty on 04-05 Pacificas' only to find out that apparently mine is not covered!!

I purchased my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Limited last April. I never had any issues, except for it not starting when the weather was really cold this winter. I had the battery checked and it always just needed charged. Now, I got stuck behind a car accident the other day and put the car in park to wait. When I went to put the car in gear, my radio shut off, all my braking system lights came on and it started dinging at me. And, of course, it wouldn't shift out of park. So the accident ahead cleared and I was stuck in the middle of a state route with no way to get off the road. We could not even push it, because it wouldn't go in neutral. I had to call for a tow to get it removed from the road. Had it towed to a dealer and they changed the shift assembly.

Bought this car used with 74000 km. Worked great for 1 year. Then once the problem starts, it just never stopped. Replaced both front and rear engine mounts 4 times in 6 yrs. Car died on the road and didn't start. Had it towed to mechanic. After a week of trying and testing different things, like replacing starter motor, alternator, it was the ground cable needed to be replaced from the battery to the frame of the car. Stabilizer links kits front replaced 4 times in 6 yrs. replaced EGR valves, 02 sensor, battery 3 times, ECM/PCM module, Transmission, speed sensor. Now transmission acting up again shifting really hard with a thud from 2nd to 3rd. Died 6 times in 6 yrs on road. Had it towed every time approx. $100 -$150 each time. Afraid to drive anywhere far with this car.

Stepping on the gas is getting to be very tricky and dangerous. The pedal has a catch near the top and I have to push extra hard to get beyond the sticky catch. I fear it may cause a sudden lurch and an accident. I looked at it but can't tell what to do to solve it. My wife drives it a lot and has the same issue. PLEASE HELP! 2005 Pacifica Touring 6-cyl, 80000 miles.

Wasn't working right & now car's not starting. Died on road. Replaced fuel pumps 2 years ago. Oil light came on too. Just spent $700 to fix rotors.

Gas gauge reads half tank and a few seconds later it's on empty.

I've been reading everyone's reviews and I guess I am one of the lucky ones. I have 150,000 miles on my Pacifica (original owner) and I have had many of the same problems as others (motor mounts, fuel pump, sticky gas pedal, tie rod ends, parking brake, release handle breaking, faulty wheel speed sensors), but I have to say overall I love my Pacifica and plan to keep it another couple years. What I will NOT do is take it back to a dealer for repair because they have made it very clear that they have no idea what they're doing when it comes to this vehicle! The last two mechanics I have taken it to have done a better job and the repairs last longer!

I purchased a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica Touring all wheel drive in February of 2010. After making the purchase, I noticed that the bushing needed to be replaced on the passenger side. Now when I go to start my vehicle, it doesn't want to start. I've had to test run on the vehicle and both times they came up with no codes at all. Mind you, I only had 23 thousand miles on the vehicle when I bought it and I paid $17,000 cash for this vehicle. Chrysler needs to do something about these issues at no cost to the customer. I'm also being told that both of my motor mounts are gone. Very ticked off consumer.

Bought a 2005 AWD Pacifica. Had some of the strange electrical problems I've seen people complain of here. Have replaced sensors, just to be told later to replace them again. Now for the "oh really!!!" part.... Last week car went into limp mode, wouldn't shift right, engine shuddered, gas cap warning again. Had it towed. They said output sensor needed to be replaced... Had just replaced it.... Then was told transmission needed to be pulled to test it. Nope, had it towed home.

Passenger side dash detached from wooden style trim, shrink by sun heat. It gives the car a horrible visual and devalue. There is no way to fix since it cannot be stretched back again. Chrysler says it is caused by the sun heat. Well, this is obvious, but should not happen since I did not take the Pacifica for a stellar travel close to the sun. CHRYSLER, it is your fault product, that does not stand sun's heat... Replace it for free and apologize. It is not my fault.

Day 1, driving home from the dealer the heat doesn't work. The dealer fixed it for free but that should have been our sign right then and there! We have had to replace transmission seals, power steering hoses. We have a broken motor mount, constantly check engine light comes on replaced gas cap, our gas pedal sticks...... We are a family living paycheck to paycheck. We thought when we traded our older Town & Country for something a little newer and reliable. Boy were we sadly mistaking! We can't afford for a lemon POS car. This pisses me off that Chrysler isn't doing as damn thing to right it and so many people have the same issues!!!!!

Bought my 2006 in 2011. $11,000 cash had problems from day one. Engine light was told to use good gas motor mounts broken stalls when turning to. Right now its doing at a stop & idling at a stop while driving feels like its loosing power emission housing broke my head & break lights blow out at least 6 times a yr. The alternator, radiator hose pops off my chair, has started moving back and forth by itself tire end seals tire clicking when turning on so on and so on so much I can't remember it all. Chrysler needs to step up and fix these cars. It's giving Chrysler a really bad name. Step up, someone is gonna be killed.

I bought my 2005 Pacifica in 2006 - leather seats, sunroof, everything but navigation system with 50.000 miles the first couple of years was fine. Once the problems started it's like they are never ending. The fuel pump, I kept smelling gas while driving. Engine mount to where I apply brakes the whole engine moves forward. The transmission twice, the engine light stays on now. I just replaced the catalytic converter and two mufflers. Now I see that the engine cradle is rusted! Wow, this is ridiculous. Too many of the same problems with same car and different owners. Unreal!

We own a 2007 Pacifica touring edition. It had 20K miles on it when we purchased it from the dealer in '07. We love the wide wheel base, the smooth drive, and the solid feel. Some chronic problems we've noted - and reading the complaints, I think I have one of the good vehicles. The parking break release lever is not designed well and breaks every year or so with normal use. Like other posters here, we have had trouble with the car losing all power suddenly on the road. When the car sits for a few moments, it will restart but will die again at random times. With minor search online, we discovered that the '05 and '06 models had the same problem and it was a fault between the fuel injection system and the computer. We brought this to the attention of the dealer and they refused to consider that this was the issue. We should have persisted, but I needed my car, so after three failed dealer visits, we took it to an independent mechanic who identified the problem immediately - faulty fuel injection and had me running.

I purchased my 2006 Pacifica on Mothers Day of 2006. I was so in love with this car and it was great for the first 2 years, since 2008 I have replaced batteries annually if not more. My dashboard is cracked and pulling away from the front of the car. It looks like the car is 15 years old. When I inquired about the dashboard issue I was told that had never ever been seen before and it would cost $4000 give or take a hundred or so to replace. The check engine light has been on for over a year. I have purchased many gas caps, the light is still on. I have had testing done on all systems costing a boatload, still no resolution. I used to love this car, now I don't even consider it reliable transportation anymore. I don't know if it will start in the mornings to get me to work. I am really disappointed. I paid a lot of money for this car...

I purchased a 2007 Pacifica brand new and bought the extended Chrysler Care Warranty. Three months after getting vehicle, the transmission started acting up. The dealer I got the car from had closed and a new dealer was handling Chryslers. The service manager advised me that my vehicle had a "learning transmission". I advised that it hadn't learned much. He further stated the vehicle had no recalls, so there was nothing they could do. I then took the car to another dealer in another town, where they advised that "no there was not any recalls" because Chrysler sends out "bulletins" to dealers. My transmission was then changed by this dealership.

I own 2 2004 Pacificas! My wife bought one and I liked it so much, I went and got myself one! Both fully loaded, identical except color! EXCEPT Chrysler has what they call an extended warranty for the engine cradle! They were willing to fix my wife's car, but mine which is much worse, they claim that because of where the car was manufactured that the car is not covered by their so-called extended warranty! Come on Chrysler! You want loyal customers but you feel it is okay to treat hardworking people like this and still expect them to buy your product? If this is what I can expect from them in the future, then I will not buy their product since they pick and choose what they stand behind! Please tell everyone you see driving one about this problem!

We have a 2004 chrysler pacifica. The car is not starting. We have changed the fuel pumps and crank sensor. We have checked the fuses and the coil pack. What could be wrong, please help...

I love my car but I have put about $7,000.00 worth of work in to it. I also have about another $4,000.00 to put in to it. By the time I am done, I might have a new car. I bought it used from Phil Long Ford in Colorado. Don't ever shop there. They knew this car needed a ton of work and admitted it after they sold it to me. Then they tried to get me to sign for a new car. But I was already in love with my Pacifica. So first, it was the front struts - $800.00. Then 1 month later, it was the starter - $700.00. Then a valve. Never got that fixed; they wanted $4,000.00. Then battery, brakes front, catalytic converter - $800.00. Within 3 years, I have changed my catalytic converter five times. This week will make six. Along with my engine mounts being replaced three times in 3 years.

I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring with 87k miles in April of 2012. Since that time I have replaced the transmission twice, the alternator twice, the catalytic converter, the speed sensor, the O2 sensor. Despite all of that, my pedal sticks all the time. My air sometimes works and usually doesn't. I fill up my tank and it is gone in less than 2 days. Basically for every hundred miles of gas I get to drive 20. The right rear window won’t roll up, and guess what? The stupid check engine light is back on. Multiple mechanics say it is the catalytic converter which I recently replaced. I owe 9k on a car I can hardly drive.

Bought my 2004 Pacifica around 2010. Had a light that was first diagnosed as a gas cap. Turned out to be the charcoal filter underneath the chassis driver side. Had to change it to pass inspection. The car would not start sometimes then not start at all, then the battery would drain, blamed on a bad battery/alternator. Turned out to be the negative cable attached to the transmission near the tire on the driver side. I also thought prior I had a bad starter because of it. (Waste of money replacing them.) The replacement cable was six bucks. Jack the car up a little bit and a 15mm wrench solved the problem. What happens from what I determined is that when the motor mounts are bad (unknown to you at the time) the rocking of the motor tears up that connection frying the wire over time.

2006 Chrysler Pacifica - I have had so many issues with this vehicle (bought new, only owner) and the only thing that makes the mechanical failures even more frustrating is the poor service I've experienced at dealerships. Denial that any of the issues are known issues, having to fight for them to fix their mistakes, etc. Latest diagnosis - car looks great, just need $1700 of work for transfer unit seals and engine mounts (not including a caliper issue another mechanic diagnosed, but they refuse to admit is an issue unless I pay them to do diagnostics b/c it is almost "impossible" that is an issue).

I purchased my Pacifica in 2009 and have tons of problems, first with the gas gauge not reading accurately. Second, the transfer case completely broke, car would just lock and stall unable to go anywhere. Now the transmission is no good, and just fixed 3 motor mounts. The mechanic told me that the motor mounts were not installed properly to the fact that the engine would have fell completely out. I really loved this car when I first purchased it because of my 3 boys to go on trips. Now I feel taken advantage of because I was charged $24,000 for a $13,000 vehicle that I only had for four years. Unreal... any suggestions would be appreciated!

First off, I love the look of my Pacifica. It is very roomy. The kids love it on trips... but the gas cap light has been on for over a year. I put a new gas cap from the dealership on, light is still on. It tells me I am going 22 mph at a stop light/sign when it rains and sounds like it is shifting gears. We have replaced the ABS sensors 2 times. I have only had the car for about 2 years now. It is very hard to work on... not good planning in the set up department, we found out when we changed the water pump. My husband said to get rid of it, that's what you get when you buy a car from a company that is going through bankruptcy, but with all the issues which there are more... we have way too much in the car cost wise than it is worth, and I'm not sure we could even sell it with all the issues that it came to us with. So I got to say if I could go back, I would not have gotten a Pacifica.

I am having the same motor mount issues as well as issues with my check engine light coming on. I get it checked and everyone keeps telling me I need a new gas cap. Well I am now on my 5th gas cap and the light is on again! So I would love that lawyer's name and number.

I have a 2005 pacifica... I am reading reviews and I am in horror. I am having the same issues as others.... sticky gas pedal. Motor mounts. Computer needs flashing. What is it gonna take to get this stuff recalled and fixed.....

THIS IS NOT A SAFE CAR FOR ANYONE TO DRIVE. I know I will die in this car because of all its faulty engine problems. It is going to take something like this to happen before Chrysler will acknowledge they built an unsafe car. It seems the same problems I am having in my car are the same ones most Pacifica owners are having as well. Like driving down the road and your car just dies on you!! This happened to me AGAIN today as I was driving my children to school. How about the gas pedal that sticks or cuts out or throws your car forward!!!

I wanted to respond to the many complaints about the motor mounts. I bought my Pacifica (4 kids-car of my dreams) in 2005 with 17K miles. It now has 179K miles. Regular maintenance is performed. I have replaced the motor mounts twice. I have an issue with the gas pedal sticking. There is a random clunking sound if I apply brakes too fast. My front seats won't move. The dashboard cracked after about 60K miles. I called Whitten Brothers in Midlothian, Va and they told me the recall for the seats were sent out and mine had expired so I would have to pay for it myself. I NEVER received a recall notice. All other issues they say were not detected. I still love the body style and would keep my car if I can get Chrysler to be responsible and own up to what are obvious flaws and fix them. They did not offer to meet me in the middle with the repairs. My husband insists the car is trash and told me to trade it in to the highest bidder.

I also bought a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring. I am so very upset that this car has cost as much in repairs as it is worth. I purchased my vehicle in October of this year and I may have driven it for one solid month so far, and it is still in the shop. The first trip entailed motor mounts, tie rods, tire seals, EGR valve, a computer. Then the car would not stay running and would shut off when in idle. Off to the shop again for a timing belt and for the idle to be reset. The next trip to the shop was in Feb. and they are still unable to find out what is wrong with my vehicle, even after a Chrysler field tech came out to the dealership. I am disgusted. I have spent over $5000 in repairs. Does anyone have more info regarding a class action lawsuit against Chrysler? Please respond with details.

I have had similar issues with the electrical system. Crackling, lights dimming, all lights on dash coming in and out. Radio and heat turns on and off at will.

We have a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica that we purchased with 80,000 miles on it. We were lied to when we bought it. We were told it only needed a Gas Cap to make the gas cap light go off. As it turns out, after much diagnosis, it needed a Natural Vacuum Leak Detector to turn the light off. In addition to this, it does have the clunky motor mount issue. I would like to get the motor mounts replaced for free. Does anybody know who to contact in order to get involved with the class action suit to seek recall? Otherwise, it's getting the job done. It replaced my 99 Caravan and is a really nice upgrade.

Electrical problems, brake light, ABS light, crackling in speakers, car cuts off at idle, headlights blink off and on. Chrysler dealership in Gainesville, Florida says that there is no recall on my Pacifica. Independent electrical auto service will not work on the Pacifica. Is becoming unsafe to drive and could not sell with the issues. But Chrysler will not sell either. Have not seen on their car lots. Please help.

I'm having the same issues as many are with my frame rusting and now breaking, no dealership coverage to fix it or take responsibility for the issue from Chrysler - would like to know if any legal action is taking place.

I have to say that my Chrysler pacifica has never given me any issues other than work that routinely needs to be done. My pacifica is at almost 200,000 miles and is still running and driving strong. I am just now starting to have to do work. In the four years, I have had it. I have put a lot of miles on it and have done breaks, oil changes, transmission flush, oil pressure sensor, a few tire sensors, tie rods, sway bars & linkage, shocks.... that's literally it with all the miles I have put on it. As of right now, the only thing I need to buy and have put in is a transmission solenoid pack.....and that's about $400 total with labor and controls the transmission. I feel like I got lucky reading all these horror stories. Mines running like a champ, but I do keep it serviced.

I have a 2006 Pacifica. I was so happy, because I thought it was an awesome car. Got it with pretty low mileage. I've had it for about two years almost. Once when I was getting an oil change the place tried to tell me I had two bad motor mounts. I figured they were trying to get extra money from me. I was upset and never went back there. Later a mechanic friend of mine was replacing my brakes and when he went to test drive it when he was done he heard/felt the rocking sound. He checked under my car and inside and diagnosed it as my motor mounts. I was shocked! That's the same thing the other place said.

In a nutshell I have a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica that I have loved but is almost worthless and unsafe! My 2004 Chrysler Pacifica has been plagued with suspension problems. I replaced the front sway bar links and a few months later they need replacing. Through all this I have complained that it rides like a truck with clunking on bumps. Brought to Chrysler dealers and outside firms. In March the Chrysler dealer said the sway bar link bolts were just loose. I was asked, "Why do you want to trade it in? There is nothing wrong with it." In June I brought it back for the same noises. Now they told me I need $3000 in repairs - front sway bar links bad again, front & rear struts, rear springs. Gee, all in 3 months.

I have just found out that our frame/rust problem is the same and the repair fellow said to junk it. I love my Pacifica 2005 and really don't want to do that. We are hoping to find out if there is any legal proceedings under way. We also did not receive any notifications there was a problem. I'm ready to go forward if so.

If Anyone has had problems with their Chrysler Pacifica Motor Mounts e-mail the Attorney **. He is trying to get a suit going against them. Mr. ** is the only one that I have spoke to that will consider taker Chrysler to Court! He knows about their bankruptcy and the dates, etc. and know how to help you. Chrysler has told me it is normal. We have all owned cars that have clocked 100K without motor mounts going bad. It is time someone takes them to task. Good Luck...

2006 Pacifica - I took my car to Chrysler to fix the motor mounts which is what I thought was the problem. They repaired the motor mounts and tighten the rear axle. They also suggested I replace the timing belt. I was planning on keeping the car for much longer and wasn't having any other problems. After the repair, my car was making noise again so I stopped by Firestone and they told me the under carriage was rusted through. When I called Luther Chrysler they said I approved the work so too bad. So I contacted Chrysler and they sent the same response. How can Chrysler do work on a car that isn't drivable? Are you kidding me. How can you not recall this car. Now I own a car that I cannot drive.

We bought my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica Touring package vehicle in 2008 with only 5500 miles on it. It drove great and was very comfortable and had a smooth ride. Fast forward to 2012 and the poop hit the fan. First I had the problem with the ABS light coming on for no reason, according to 2 mechanics. The second mechanic was able to fix the problem. Then I had to replace tie rids and motor mounts. I had a problem with the car tuning off during turns. The worst and most costly issue is the gas gauge dropping to E from the half tank mark. 1st mechanic thought he resolved the issue by replacing the sensors. Wrong. It happened again and then wouldn't let me fill up. Second mechanic replaced all fuel line system, etc. Worked for 7 months, now it's doing it again.

My mechanics showed me the extensive rot on the cradle of my car while he had it on a lift (Chrysler dealership). No rust anywhere else. Upon checking it out there was a warranty extension given on SELECTED 04 AND 05 Pacificas. Mine was not included and since the 10 year extension has passed it wouldn't help anyway. The problem is they used defective/substandard part. They are aware of it and will not replace the part. I cannot drive it now as it is unsafe and it will not pass its next inspection. This should be/have been a recall!

I purchased a 2008 Chrysler Pacifica five years ago with only 52,000 miles on it. Within a year, I had to change out the motor mounts. They have been changed out three more times since. Two years ago I had to change out the shifter, then the air conditioner needed repairs. Shortly thereafter, the car started shutting off without warning while driving down the road. I took it to my local mechanic since I could not afford the dealership's outrageous repair costs. He first could not duplicate the problem on the computer. When the problem continued, he took it home and drove it for a week and lo and behold, it started cutting off on him. However, he could not get the problem to register on his computer. So he hooked the computer up to the car and drove around until it shut off again. He then restarted the car in neutral but nothing registered. When it cut off the third time he restarted the car after putting it in park and the computer diagnosed the problem as the computer within the car. So I replaced the computer.

We too are going thru the same issue with the motor mounts. I had one bad when I test drove the car brand new with only 25 miles on it. Also we have had starting problems for the past 2 years that no one can figure out. Last week we were told the starting was due to the bad mounts, $90 diagnose, I replaced the mounts myself and the starting problem is still there. Have had to replace mounts about every year since 2007.

We purchased our 2004 Chrysler Pacifica in 2009 with 75,000 miles and by now the mileage is 114,100. Last week I was changing oil and found huge rust hole on engine cradle which make the car unsafe to drive. Also the rocker panel on both side all rusted like rotten paper. I called Chrysler and was told there was no coverage and recall on this. Very very disappointed to this problem. I also found out that a lot of people have the same issue- rusted engine cradle. Why is Chrysler not doing anything?

We purchased this vehicle in 2006 and within a year started experiencing a thump when accelerating. My wife drives the vehicle very easy and never drives aggressive. The thumping became so pronounced that we decided to do online research and found that hundreds of others were experiencing broken motor mounts, so we had it inspected and found both mounts were completely torn in half. Since then we have replaced them 4 times. Each time driving the vehicle even more carefully. This has cost us more than $3000 in parts and labor.

On 10/25/2013, I took my Chrysler Pacifica in for routine maintenance only to learn that the passenger side cradle arm was significantly rusted through and was in imminent danger of completely failing. I called my local Chrysler dealer who stated that my vehicle's VIN number did not fall into the month long range of vehicles that were covered by service bulletin 12-001-13 and Chrysler Corporation would not do anything either. The repairs are quoted from $2200 to $3000. Who can afford that in today's world.

I have a 2006 Chrysler and I know that they got over on my husband when he bought it because we had to take it back service time for it acting like it wasn't getting gas We had the recall done with the transmission and several other things done and I had to keep taking it back. When he got the car, it was brand new in 2007 but I call it a piece of garbage because we keep having to put out a whole lot of money. My brake light has been on for almost a year and it kept coming on when I would speed up on the highway and when I would turn the car off, it would go off and wouldn't come on until I would speed up and I kept taking it to different places to do diagnosis and they could find the problem and then one day it just went off and never came on again until 2 months ago and my engine light is still on and when I had it diagnosed, it said gas cap. I went to the Chrysler dealer bought that I went off for a min. and pop right back on. Now I have a new problem with the wheels and brakes and it starting to act like its going to cut off or stall. I, like the rest of you, don't want to put anymore money in it but we can't sell it or trade it in because I know we not going to really get that much for it and we are still paying for it. All I know is that what you all are saying is true because we have put so much money in it for upkeep and we shouldn't have had to do that.

I am saddened to see so many unhappy people with the PACIFICA. Here is my story. My spouse got cancer, we went into the hospital for surgery, came out the next day to find an employee had smashed her personal vehicle. We went to Chrysler looking for a used car... and as I walked past the PACIFICA, I just wished we could have bought that car. It turned out that the price was $38000 and some change. Here's where the story gets interesting. I had Chrysler knock off their advertising costs, their transport costs, added a discount for my school discount, and there were several "sales" going on. So, the price comes down to around $30000. Still can't afford it. So, I said, "Look, we're gonna go." But wait! It's the last day of the month! "Make us an offer!!" Okay, $25000. SOLD to the woman recovering from cancer. Note: We bought this car from Chrysler on W. Henrietta Rd in Rochester, NY.

Bought this 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. Starter went bad. Now it has SO MANY issues that it's undrivable now. Has been over 2 months and nobody seems to know what's wrong.

No problems yet except low gas mileage but to be expected from a V6 and size of vehicle.

I purchased my 2007 Chrysler Pacifica from a dealership in Wichita, KS, had it checked by another mechanic to make sure it was a good car, without issues. It checked out well, so I purchased my sparkling nice luxury car. The gears started slipping when I would take off. In about 2 weeks, I was driving down the road. The car jerked really hard. It felt like I had run into a wall. I put the brakes on and then the car died. Turned the ignition back on and pushed on the gas. It wasn't moving any way in drive so I put it in reverse and it barely backed up. I parked it, called a tow truck to find out at 80,000 the transmission was SHOT. 80,000 miles really?

I brought a used 05 less than a yr ago. In Nov, I was having problems within the weeks I had it. I was going back & forth with the man & after 30 days I went back & he told me to take him to court. So I've been driving. I had problems with the tires & tire rods. Got that fixed & brakes. Then a few weeks ago, my ABS lights were on, took it by a shop. When I was on my way to get an oil change, he drove the car down the st. real & hit the brakes. He told me my transmission was going. When he turned around & parked @ the shop, my car shut down & never started again. It's been in three different shops within a month. The last shop just said my engine was gone & it cost a lot for engine just for it to go bad again so I'm trading it right on in. It's a bad car. I will tell people never buy one & if anybody get a suit against Chrysler, I will sign because this is crazy. I have three kids & we've been out a car I paid for.

I have owned a Chrysler product since 1970. From Voyagers, Caravans, LeBaron's, Town & Countrys, and yes a Pacifica. There has never been the problems that all the rest have incurred. Simple maintenance was always applied as a template to keep them operating at peak efficiency. My biggest mistake was selling the Pacifica with less than 70K miles on. It was using oil. However I later found out that all new cars are just as thirsty. The reason is the usage of 50 weight oil versus the traditional 30 weight. The lighter oil helps with gas mileage, and thus is used more readily. I traded it in for a 2008 T&C. I am happy with it, but miss all the amenities that the former ride gave me. Anyway, I am sad to read all of the complaints the other posters have provided. I am fairly sure similar comments are expressed about all the other nameplates. After all they are machines and prone to shortcomings.

Bought 2005 Chrysler Pacifica from Levittown Town and Country in 2008 with 40,000 miles on it, ran great until warranty went out, routine fixing of motor mounts, tires going flat, not too much to concern myself about but when we got to 120,000 miles in 2011 the water pump seized up and engine blew. Bought used engine, it had 70,000 miles on it. Now here's where it gets interesting. At 120,000 miles this engine just blew. Chrysler never again and I did mention that the transmission teeth rotted away and I had to replace them. Car looks nice but it has a shelf life of 120,000. If you are close to that please trade your car in. You may be one of the few lucky ones that experienced no problems but most people on this site have gone through the same things, motor mounts, brakes, ac, electrical problems.

So I got my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica about a year ago. I love everything about it except the mechanics on it. First it was the brakes. I had gotten all the brakes and rotors replaced... As the brakes and rotors are getting fixed, the mechanic comes in and says, "Your motor mounts are shot..." I'm like, "What???" I'm 24 years old... and I'm not made of money so the brakes are $475 plus $678 for the motor mounts. Shortly after I was driving home and as I was driving in my driveway, my whole front end collapses on the ground. What do you know, both CV joints are broken in half... So it turns out that the entire front end is completely trashed for reasons I can't say. I'm like my father. I keep up with maintenance and tires, oil changes and all the normal routine checks so for something like this to happen, I have to be doing something wrong... Not!...

I was very happy with my Pacifica until I took it in to making a clicking noise. The shop tells me it will be 2000.00 to fix it. Its the assembly that holds the engine in that is rusted out and cracking, so my engine can fall out at anytime and I owe 7000.00 on it still...Where is the recall on this? I have heard other having issues with the same thing.

I purchased a new 2007 Pacifica from a dealer who bought it from Chrysler loaded (Touring Edition) at the end of 2009. I also purchased the Lifetime "Bumper to Bumper" warranty ($100 deductible) for roughly $2500.00; and immediately was glad I did. On my way home, with 50 miles on the car, I stopped to have all four tires replaced (gone bad sitting in the sun for 30 months) for free. My wife drove the car for 18 months with minimal issues, but once I started driving it... 14 months ago we have replaced (6) broken motor mounts within 50,000 miles. And each time a rental car that I am reimbursed part but not all (out of pocket over $500 before last visit) the last time it sounded similar but both control arms and turned all four rotors, and it's the most quiet in a while. My question is why does Chrysler not offer a car to me on their nickel to repair their warranty, (this last visit cost me $475 plus rental charges $125) and I still have the shimmy when breaking downhill... Called Chrysler for a copy of my warranty... No help! Where now?

I was in a horrible accident resulting in a spinal cord injury BECAUSE of CHRYSLER! I had ABS issues the entire time owning this vehicle. Had it in the shop 15 times & they always said nothing is wrong, it's safe to drive. Long story short my brakes failed. I ran a stop light & got hit by a semi and needless to say almost 3yrs later, still trying to prove the ABS problem! So if you own a Pacifica & have ABS issues, please contact me & maybe together we can all get this matter resolved before someone is killed! ** If enough of us come together, Chrysler will be FORCED to handle this & not ignore it any longer!

This is happening to me too, only I'm told there was a recall on these cars for PCM, so that's what I'm going to try next. The dealer is not the best place to go. I would suggest buying the part you need from a parts store like Autozone or online and then going to a local repair shop to have it installed. That's if you can't do it yourself.

In a nutshell I have a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica that I have loved but is almost worthless and unsafe! My 2004 Chrysler Pacifica has been plagued with suspension problems. I replaced the front sway bar links and a few months later they need replacing. Through all this I have complained that it rides like a truck with clunking on bumps. Brought to Chrysler dealers and outside firms. In March the Chrysler dealer said the sway bar link bolts were just loose. I was asked, "Why do you want to trade it in? There is nothing wrong with it." In June I brought it back for the same noises. Now they told me I need $3000 in repairs - front sway bar links bad again, front & rear struts, rear springs. Gee,all in 3 months.

We bought our 2005 Pacifica used in 2008 with 30,000 miles on it, and it ran great for about a year. Then we started having some of the same problems mentioned in other reviews. The shifter went out. The motor mounts needed to be replaced twice. The ABS sensor malfunctioned. The air conditioner never blew cold even though it was fully charged. We finally had it when the car started losing power when accelerating. It would jerk and shake and not want to accelerate.

2004 Pacifica - I bought mine used in 2007, with 40,000 miles. I'm about to turn 150,000 mi. and couldn't be happier. I bought the warranty, which ended up being "wasted" as I never needed it. I have only replaced maintenance items (brakes, struts, etc.), and the dreaded subframe rot is completely absent. A co-worker has over 200,000 miles on hers and is just as happy as I am. The interior has held up to 6 years of abuse by children with every single button and switch working perfectly. My 5th straight Chrysler purchase will be followed up by #6 soon.

We purchased our Pacifica in 2007 because it had a lifetime warranty on the power train. We felt we were going to drive the car a long time and therefore bought the extended warranty as well for $1800, something we usually don't do. Other than replacing the motor mounts at 60K miles in 2011 (interestingly not covered by either warranty), we have loved the car until one week ago when at 88K miles, the transmission locked up and wouldn't run.

A couple of years ago, we started having the same issues with my car. My oil was constantly low when we checked it. My husband started googling information on these issues and discovered that Chrysler was aware of an issue with engines on the 2005 models. There was internal friction creating the leak. We spent several months dealing with the dealer and them dealing with Chrysler. Part of the issue was this was all happening during the time Chrysler was getting ready to file bankruptcy. So of course that made it very difficult to get anything out of them.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring - I purchased this car from a dealer in early ’07. I have enjoyed it until I was told it needed a new frame .The dealer told me it’s not safe to drive. I still owe $5,000. The work adds up to $6,000 - it’s only worth 4 or $5,000. Chrysler agreed to replace the frame, a $4,500 part, and pay for labor. But I was responsible for a deductible and responsible for all other parts that may need to be replaced. 2 weeks went by as it was winter holiday, I have 2 kids. When I went to take it in, they informed me they backed out of the deal. Now I have a piece of junk that I can’t drive. There are many more stories out there. This is so unreal, a car frame that rots away in 6 years. It didn't happen overnight. Help.

I purchased my Pacifica new (2006). It was the dealer's wife car and it had only 1,900 miles on it. I loved this car when I first saw it and it ran great during the first few years. I had no problems until these last two years. I have had to buy two sets of front tires in two years. The ABS light has been on for two years and no one can tell me why. My gas runs out very fast and I know I filled up my tank and I don't drive it much. I have replaced the tie rods three times in two years and the motor mounts four times in the last year. The car will start jerking. It has cut off in the middle of a turn twice in 9 months and now, I just had my oil changed three months ago and it started smoking and overheating. I changed the thermostat and checked the oil and there was no oil in the car at all.

I purchased a 2007 Touring in April 2008 with only 3,600 miles. I am adamant about my maintenance (at the dealership, of course). While under warranty, the front motor mount was replaced. Great! Not. Within 14 months of replacement, the front and back mounts were bad and in need of repair. Well, of course, the car was out of warranty and beyond the 12-month parts warranty. So in July 2012, I replaced and paid for the front and rear mounts to be repaired and now April 2013 they are in need of repair again. Really Chrysler, I have less than 59K miles on the vehicle.

We bought our 2005 Pacifica used in 2008 with 42k miles on it, and it ran great for about a year. Then we started having some of the same problems mentioned in other reviews. The shifter went out. The motor mounts needed to be replaced twice. The ABS sensor malfunctioned. The air conditioner never blew cold even though it was fully charged (and I live in the desert). We finally had it when the car started losing power when accelerating. Keep in mind, the car only had 65k miles on it. It would jerk and shake and not want to accelerate.

Up until now, I have been very happy with my 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. It was always reliable and the ride was very comfortable. But on 2/14/13, I was driving and the car started to stall. Luckily I was near a gas station and pulled in. When the mechanic opened my hood, smoke started to come out. I was very concerned. I called a local Chrysler dealer and had my car towed to their station. After examining the car, I was told I need a PTO unit part #RL071706AA, but it was on backorder. ETA unknown. Who has ever heard of this in the US? You can't get a part for an American made car. I understand that Chrysler no longer makes the Pacifica, but they should stock the parts.

My car (2006 Chrysler Pacifica) had been at the dealership for repair now for a total of 4 weeks! I was driving along and all of the lights/dash/radio flashed a few times and then shut off completely. I could still drive and, lucky for me, it was during the day and I could get home. We took it to the dealership and, after them having it for a week, we were told it was an Integrated Power Module and it was going to be $1200 to replace! We brought it home and my husband located the same part in a recent rollover (the car was driven into the salvage yard and all electrical were working) and we got the part for $75. We put that in and still now electrical. We took it back to the dealership after being told it needed to be flash programmed. This was on 11/23/2012.

Driving along Friday night with my wife and 2 kids (ages 10 and 1), the night before basically more than a foot of snow, we blew a tire at 65mph. No problem, been there before. I went to retrieve the spare and I could not get it out from under the Pacifica - a 2005 model. We called some brutal sort of AAA service with our insurance and a truck driver showed up, "Did you call?" He ended up jacking and breaking the rear sway bars. Meanwhile, in 10 minutes' time of using the hazards, the battery went dead and it's not the battery. The blinkers on one side also failed. We've had many electrical failures with this vehicle and wow, this thing gets poor mileage. Sitting in a death trap, we had to get out and stand in freezing temps as the hazards weren't bright enough for anyone to hardly see and only working on one side.

Be afraid, be very afraid. I purchased my 2007 Chrysler Pacifica in June 2008 with 32,000 miles on it. I purposely purchased a Certified Used Car from a Chrysler dealer to make sure I would be covered for any problems. What a joke! As I have read most of the 91 reviews, I have had most of the same problems. My motor mounts have been replaced. I have gone through 3, yes 3, brand spanking new fuel pumps since September 2011 and still have issues with the sensors in the pumps burning out because now, the gas tank itself is faulty and must be repaired. I also cannot fill my tank because the gas backs up in the filler hose and splashes all over my hands, clothes and onto the pavement and my shoes.

While I was in Iraq in 2005, my wife's Toyota was broken into and blood was all over the car seat and inside the dash area. The car was totaled so my wife had to purchase a new car. I was able to come home for two weeks to help her purchase a new car. I believed the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica was a very nice looking car with the added space we needed for our family. My wife was very happy with the car but after a couple of years, the problems started creeping in. The gas pedal is sticking and we have taken it in a couple of times and they looked at it and said it was fixed, but it came back and it is very hard to push down on. The back brake light goes out several times a year; we have stopped taking this problem to dealer and just took it to Midas. They are not sure why they are not lasting.

There are multiple issues with this car! I will start with the problems that didn't almost kill myself and my children. The ABS light would stay on and the dealer had no resolution. The car would stall while turning. I replaced the battery five times in four years. While idling in the driveway, the driver's seat reclined by itself, would not respond to the controls and started smoking! The dealer claims they could not diagnose the problem! Lastly, while driving my sons to school, the car was handling poorly and because it was dark and raining, initially I believed that it was wet road conditions.

My husband and I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. At the time of leasing, it had 74,000 in 2010 when we got it. Well to start, we had to replace the engine mounts along with the tire pistons. I think they're called the bars that hold the tires on basically. That was a little over a grand. Now, we're having some kind of an issue with the gear shaft area. There is a little pink release lever, not the one that brings it to shift but the one that gets it from being locked in park. It's on the top left side of the gear box. That was after taking the whole front part apart. So I come to find out it's like not cheap to get that repaired and I've seen not only me but a few people have that same issue. It's some little pink plastic part. Now we're having issues with the front driver's side tire. When accelerating from a stopped position, the left driver's side tire area clunks. And if acceleration is too fast or too hard, it clunks. No idea what that issue is. Still paying on this car and still think there should be more recalls than what there has been for it. Something really, in my option, needs to be done.

Hi, I'm Jose. I bought a 2006 Chrysler Pacific. I love it. It’s a used vehicle. I did not check it and after two weeks of buying it, I tried to open the rear door with my key but without any success. I was able to open it from the inside from the small latch. The question is, if there's a problem with the rear door, why doesn't the reverse light also turn on? I changed the light bulb without any success. Please, can I get help with my vehicle? Thank you.

Today, I received an email from my Chrysler dealer asking permission to email me with updates regarding important safety information, service reminders and recalls. This email arrived with ironic timing. Less than 2 weeks ago, my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica had to be sold for a pittance because I was never informed about a very important recall by Massey Yardley Chrysler Plymouth. Even after I took the vehicle there for service and called them numerous times regarding the very issue that prompted the recall bulletin, no one ever informed me that there was a Chrysler Bulletin in existence on this matter since 2006. This could have saved my vehicle and saved me a lot of money.

I bought a 2006 Pacifica Touring with 29,000 miles on it in 2009. From the get go, there were no oil leaks anywhere, but it's down a quart after 1,200 miles and it uses a quart every 1,200 miles. It doesn't appear to be burning any oil. Like the others, it sometimes shuts off while driving, too. The front brake rotors warped real bad 3 months after a brake job with new rotors. I have done the front brakes 3 times in 2 years. The rear tires wear excessively on the inner edge, but they say the alignment is okay - no fix for this. The AC clutch fell apart at 65,000. The engine fan comes on when the engine is cold. The AC doesn't get cold, but the system is fully charged.

Where do I start? I purchased my 2004 Pacifica pre-owned in 2007 with 28,000 miles on it. One day, on my way to work, I slammed on the breaks to prevent from running a red light. From that point forward my car started jerking with every gear shift. I was told I needed to replace the motor mounts. Fast forward a few months later with approximately 120,000 miles, my engine started making ticking noises.

I purchased my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring with 18K miles on it. Within the first year, Chrysler replaced the wheel bearings (note it took 3 visits for them to 'replicate'). I have taken the car before my warranty was up and again before the extended warranty was up (3 times) because the car randomly shuts off. It seems to be at 7- 8 miles per hour. When it cuts off, steering and brakes do not work. They 'could not duplicate'. I just gave up complaining about it. The PCM issue that cuts the engine off randomly - was the cause for my fuel pump to go out this week. So amazing that after my warranty is up, they can find the issue. Oh, and they refused to recognize that I had brought this to their attention 3 times before my warranty went out. I am an extremely angry customer.

I purchased a brand new 2007 Chrysler Pacifica at the beginning of 2008. Within a year after experiencing jumping in the car, I was told the motor mounts (front) needed to be replaced. At that time, the car was in warranty, so that was fine. Again in 2011, after the car starts jumping, I'm told the vehicle again needs new motor mounts (front). Thankfully, Chrysler helped with that repair. Now again in 2012, the car is starting to jump and now I'm told front and back motor mounts are needed. In all my years of car ownership, I have never had to have motor mounts replaced on a car, so to get a vehicle where it is a recurring problem is more than a disappointment. I sent Chrysler another email about the problem and I was just told that because the last repair was done by an independent repair shop, they could not guarantee the work or help with the new repairs that are needed. Based on all the complaints, this is definitely a known problem and I'm shocked and appalled that Chrysler is not offering any assistance in the repair.

I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica with 17.5k miles in June of 2006. I got a notice of recall for the ABS sensor, took it to a certified Chrysler dealer to have it replaced. A year and a half later the light was on again. In February 2012 the rear passenger door window would not respond. Two days later it did respond. In April 2012, the passenger door window would not go up or down and the driver window would not respond at all. I took it to the nearest Pep Boys (PB) who took the panels off and got the driver side window up, but stated that it was highly unusual for both windows to go at the same time.

I noticed a tapping noise in our 2006 Pacifica with 55,000 miles on the engine. I am the original owner and have had all service and oil changes done at Pro Chrysler Jeep in Thornton, Colorado. The repair is described by a service bulletin and is a known failure due to poor design of the rocker assembly, which causes a loud clatter and tapping of this assembly. The fix is to replace the assembly with re-engineered parts. The cost is just a few dollars short of 1,200 dollars. I frankly disagree that an engine repair of that cost should be needed on a vehicle that has been totally maintained by the dealer. Perhaps, there should have been a recall.

After two years of struggling with the fuel gauge on our 2004 Chrysler Pacifica, a common malady cited many times here and elsewhere as it chimed repetitively just above half full and reports an empty tank, I was told it must fail when bringing it in to troubleshoot and most likely the gas tanks would have to be dropped to replace the sending units; both tanks because there is no code to indicate which tank is at fault and the cost is around $800. Prior to my appointment, it took me only five minutes to find the Chrysler update bulletin relating to this fix and it required only a 10 minute software change. I talked the manager into a free change and it has worked fine ever since. They had previously replaced tanks several times for other owners to correct this issue. Repair shops need to pay more attention to service bulletins related to specific trouble issues.

Bought my 2005 Pacifica LT Touring in March '05 with about 30k miles on it. It now has almost 140k miles (happy to say it's lasted this long). It had very few problems and very little maintenance until August 2011, since I took a drive in the mountains and used the Auto Stick feature to control speed downhill instead of burning up breaks. No warranty available here, it's too old. Here are the problems I have been experiencing for the past 5+ months.

I bought my 2006 Chrysler Pacifica in 2009. And in 2010 my engine light started coming on and it also keeps saying gas cap. I took my car to the shop and they told me it was a 02 sensor. I replaced the 02 sensor and I'm still having the same problem as well as replaced 3 gas caps. As I did some research online, I see where a lot of other people are having the same problem. What I need to know is how do I get my car listed as a recall with all the problems that I'm having?

2005 Chrysler Pacifica LT Touring. Purchased Certified pre-owned with only 8000 miles for about 19500.00. Below is a list of problems that plague all Pacificas and the solutions and the headaches and money.

I bought my 2007 Chrysler Pacifica about three years ago and have been happy with it for the most part. Until about five months ago when right in the middle of a left turn, it shut off. I took it to an auto shop where they changed a sensor and then about a week later it happened again as I was getting on the freeway. I took it in again and the shop changed another sensor. This time it was good for a month then it happened again when I was taking off from a stop sign. This time the auto shop stated I should take it to the dealer so I did and they changed the wires.

I have complained since I bought my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica new. I have paid to have the gas pedal repaired. It was very hard to push down. They said this was not covered and was $300. Then the car on several occasions has shut off while driving, the entire car just shuts down. No power steering, nothing. I complained about this and no one can find a problem. They act as though I don't know what I'm talking about. The latest is two motor mounts are broke and must be repaired for $300-500. Also, I recently replaced something in the engine. Every time I would go idle speed, the car would jerk and not want to go. That cost is $400 to fix. Never again will I buy a Chrysler and their customer service sucks.

We bought a 2007 Pacifica in 2011. We loved having a vehicle with a lot of extras; smooth ride, leather seats, etc. We were used to a 8 passenger van (4 kids). Okay, now for the problems, as many others our fuel needle drops to empty once it reaches 1/2 tank and it takes forever to put 10 gal. of gas in the tank. It acts like it is full at 3 gal. We do like the car and don't want to get rid of it, but this problem is very frustrating.

We bought our 06 Pacifica with 25,000 kms on it. It has been a great car, until a few months ago. Just before a road trip to the mountains, the fuel gauge started jumping from 1/2 tank of fuel to empty. This was a minor concern, as we thought we would be alright, as long as we watched how many miles we put on, after filling the tank, so we wouldn't run out. We consistently get 500 kms or more, after a fill. On the trip home, the car stalled as if out of gas. We restarted it after a few minutes, and filled the tank. It took 34 liters to fill it.

I bought a Pacifica in 2007. I loved it. Then after one trip at 26 mpg, the mileage dropped to 17mpg. Of course, no one at the dealership knows why. Then in January ’09, all the gas tank problems started. I spent close to $1500.00 getting it fixed with three separate trips to dealer, in which they swore they had it figured out (this time). In January 2010, the same problem came back again. This time the shop foreman at the dealer advised me they’d take care of it if the new parts warranty of 12 thousand miles hadn’t run out. Come on people.

I have previously logged a complaint on this site regarding the transmission getting stuck in park in my 2007 Chrysler Pacifica back in August. I went for an oil change in August (I use synthetic oil), then in November 11 to be exact, and was advised that I had no oil! There are no oil leaks in my garage, driveway, or parking space (I have my own parking space at work). I assumed the last place that performed the oil change didn't put any oil in and so I called them to voice my concerns. While driving to work today (December 13th), while stopping at a red light, I noticed a large plume of smoke coming from the engine.

I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica, that I bought with 34,500 miles. The dealership never gave me my warranty. I loved it, until I started burning through oil very quickly. It wasn't leaking. I don't know where it's going. I also feel like I have to put brakes on it a lot. Now I have to replace 3 of the motor mounts. I know of another person who had a newer Chrysler, who was going through oil, also very frequently. Sometimes no oil was in the car. I really wished I had known this before I bought it. I am not happy, because at the age of almost 40, I wanted to get my first newer used car, and feel good about it. I am so unhappy with my purchase.

I bought a used 2007 Chrysler Pacifica Chrysler in 2009. Thank goodness I bought the warranty. I've had to have the transmission replaced. Motor mound need to be replaced and now I'm having problems with the starter. I will never buy another Chrysler!

We have a 2004 Pacifica which has cost us a fortune in repairs. This year alone, we've spent about $3,400 and it's still not right. Our fabulous mechanics have managed to keep us on the road, and recently replaced the MAP sensor as all of our problems matched the description of that being the issue. It has stalled, thus far only in parking lots, and seems to really struggle at anything under 35 miles an hour. This year we've had to replace the catalytic converter, as well as the steering component. I will never buy another Chrysler. Our other car is a 97 Chevy Lumina and we've had no problems with it. It is unbelievable that we will have to replace the newer car before the older car.

I bought an '04 Chrysler Pacifica used and I have has so many problems with it. I have had to spend way too much money repairing these problems. My newest issue is I was driving and the steering wheel locked up and when I turned the car off and back on it was fine but it keeps happening. And I have a warranty that won't cover nothing. I am at a loss of words on what to do.

We bought a new Pacifica 2007, and it was fine until about 50,000 miles, where now it is just one problem, after another. First the engine light came on. I had it looked at to find it was the EGR valve in the engine. The mechanic also quoted us on the front connecting rod, as it was causing the front of the car shake at 40 miles an hour. Also, I was quoted the engine mount, as this is also broken. All this after only 4 years? But this is just the beginning.

I have a 2007 Pacifica and I have had to replace the motor mounts twice in less than a year. The other thing is my car will not start and I have had it checked over and over but they cannot find anything wrong with it. They said it was the battery but it was new as I just changed it and it still works. All anyone can say is that everything is working, but yet my car likes to start only when it wants to and drain the battery.

I purchased a 2006 Pacifica used with 24,000 miles on it. For the first 6 months or so, the car ran beautifully. I had no problems with it at all. After about 6 months or so, I noticed the fuel gauge stopped working. I ran out of gas constantly never knowing if I had gas or not. I had to resort to guessing my gas mileage and figuring how many miles I could drive. I have 3 small children and running out of gas was very dangerous, walking to the nearest gas station. In addition to that, at 60,000 miles (2-1/2 years later), the car would burn at least 2 - 3 quarts of oil a week. I took it to three different mechanics and they all said the same thing, I need a new engine. What I don't understand is how can any 5-year old car with only 60,000 miles on it possibly need an engine? I made sure I kept up with all of the preventative maintenance on the car, but that didn't seem to make a difference. I will never purchase another Chrysler product.

I have spent a significant amount of money on repairs for my 2004 Pacifica. The motor mounts have been replaced 4 times. The car stalls while driving, as if it's going to cut off. The engine light stays on and the list goes on and on. My mechanic doesn't know what else to do.

I bought my 2005 Pacifica approximately 4 years ago. The first couple of years, the car was great. But in the last 2 years, the car has become a money pit for an average middle class family like mine. It started with motor mounts needing to be replaced due to clunking noise. The next problem that arose was tie rod on the front, ended up needing to be replaced along with 2 new tires due to the tie rod being bad. It had consistent tire trouble issues. And just this week, I had to replace the PCM computer that operates the car 1000k.

I bought a brand new 2007 Chrysler Pacifica and have had nothing but problems with the vehicle and the service provided by the dealership. Standing behind their vehicle is a joke! I will never buy another Chrysler.

Wow! Same issues as a dozen others. First, the tie rods were replaced, then, three engine mounts and the mechanic said that the frame had significant rust. He also suggested taking it to the dealer because he felt that this is something that they should cover. I have used this particular mechanic for almost three years and I trust him to be honest. The electrical is intermittent. The driver window, seats and backup lights fail with no rhyme or reason. The vehicle is starting to rust despite being kept in the garage and being washed monthly. My 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Limited has 80,000 miles; otherwise, I love the vehicle.

I bought a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica four years ago. I've had nothing but problems with the vehicle. I've had to replace the brakes twice. Just last week, I had to purchase new motor mounts because of the clunking sound in tire rods. To top it off, I purchased a new transmission just last November 2010. The check engine came on a few months ago. I took it to the Chrysler dealership. They informed me it was the transmission and it would cost $1995 to fix it. I took it back to the shop that did the transmission. They could not find anything wrong with it. Now today, the check engine light is back on again. I'm at my wits' end with this vehicle. I'm afraid what they are gonna say when I take it on Monday morning.

I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica but ever since I got this vehicle, all I have had was problems. First, the ABS light would come on and the brakes would rattle; now, the light is constantly on. Second, the rear window goes down and does not go back up until I constantly play with the button; sometimes it does not go up for days. Now, the gears do not move and I am unable to drive my car for a month now.

I purchased a used Pacifica '06 last year and it was fine until last Saturday morning. There's no problem prior, but that Saturday morning I was taking my kid somewhere, so i thought, but the gear would not move out of park! I called my dad and he called his mechanic, and the mechanic told me some cable that runs from the gear to the transmission must be worn out. I asked him if that's something that just happens out of the blue. No one else sells the part, only the dealership for $70. I am still waiting, but after reading all these, I will just pay it off and use it around town and get into buying foreign cars. Can you say Toyota?!

I bought a brand new 2007 Chrysler Pacifica and we have had nothing but problems with the vehicle and the service provided by the dealership. They had to replace the tie rods at 32,000 miles and we have since replaced tires and brakes for wear (we most recently had to get tie rods replaced again). We contacted the dealership and were told that they didn't replace them originally and the replacement wouldn't be covered. We were also in communication with Chrysler Corporation during this time and they could not locate service records to prove the original replacement.

I purchased a 2007 Chrysler Pacific from CarMax approximately ten months ago. I attempted to leave work yesterday and the car started fine but I could not get it out of park! I called CarMax where I had purchased an extended warranty and they told me, "We see this five or six times a week in various Chrysler models!” Then, when I called the tow company (which is an out-of-pocket expense), they also notified me that they tow several Chryslers a week with this same problem! I then called my local Chrysler dealer to get my car repaired and they are aware of this issue as well!

I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica a little over a year. After having it about three months, the abs light came on and I had to replace both front brake sensors and then I started having issues with the back sensors. None of the sensors were under warranty and the abs light never went off. The brake pedal would shake and the car wouldn't stop instantly. Later, I started hearing a knocking under the car. The other day, I noticed that my speedometer was incorrect and my mileage change to kilometers so I guess something happened in the dash overnight for no reason. This car is crazy.

I bought my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica in 2006 with 17,000 miles; and already, there was clunking and rattling noises. I replaced the bushings under my bumper-to-bumper warranty and there was still rattling and clunking noises. In 2009, the right strut popped out of the hood even after complaining of the rattling. Chrysler forced me to file an insurance claim. Let me fast forward to December of 2010. I went to Manhattan Chrysler for a horrible suspension noise and rough transmission shift. They said there is 'nothing wrong with your vehicle' but they replaced my lumbar support for the driver's seat (thanks so much for nothing). Two months later, the left strut now popped out, hit the hood and the car veered to the left on the highway! I dropped it off the dealership and they replaced the strut, bushings, etc.

On October 27, 2009, I purchased a Chrysler Pacifica from DriveTime dealership. I was extremely satisfied with my truck. Nine months after the purchase, my abs light went on every time I would press on brakes. I did my research and it turns out that this is an ongoing problem with the vehicle so I continued to drive it without being fixed. Then, on May 1, 2011, I went to turn the truck and the lever was stuck on park. I did my research and it turns out that this is also an ongoing problem with the vehicle--the transmission gear shift interlock spring.

The similarities between the posted consumer experiences and our own experience with this Chrysler product gave us goose bumps. Meanwhile, Chrysler Corporation's unresponsiveness is astonishing if not disturbing. Our 2005 model with more than 70,000 miles recently broke down after a 1-hour drive with smoke and coolant flowing from under the hood. We had it towed to the nearest dealership that diagnosed an engine mount with ‘too much give’ that pulled the hose away from the radiator hence the fluid loss, etcetera.

The steering was a little wobbly and when I would brake, it would make a thumping noise. I always changed the oil every 3000-3500 miles and get the fluids filled/changed as needed. I was driving it last night and it started smoking and the oil gauge shot up.

My Chrysler Pacifica 2004 (90,500 miles) was taken in for a state inspection. The sub-frame (engine structural mount) was rotten (rusting) so bad that I could put three fingers through it. The steel broke off to a light touch. The tie-rods were also worn with excessive play. I called Chrysler corporate customer relations and asked humbly about assistance. After an inspection, they turned me down for any assistance claiming it was beyond a 90,000-mile warranty. Plus, it was on its second owner. Other dealerships said, “Shame on Chrysler! No sub frame should rot like that and I was surprised there was no factory recall.” Chrysler has lost my business.

I own a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica and have been dealing with fuel problems for over 2 years now! It first started with the gas gauge going from half a tank to empty in seconds,which I had assumed was more then likely a computer problem. I did make the mistake of not researching it on the internet, which would have told me that it is a chronic problem with the Pacifica. Then within months, I broke down on the side of the road out of fuel when I had half a tank of gas! I finally had to get the transfer pumps in the fuel tank replaced.

I own a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving on a newly paved, straight roadway at 40mph, the front passenger wheel folder under the vehicle, laying like a donut under the front passenger seat. The steering knuckle, cv joint, break lines, etc., completely snapped and were torn off. The vehicle veered quickly to the right side and scraped along the guardrail until coming to a stop.

I have a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica with 94,000 miles. It has been a great car. While driving home from vacation, we stopped to get gas, and a few minutes after we restarted the car, the oil light popped on and the engine started chattering like it had no oil. We had it towed, and the shop discovered the cam inside the engine is destroyed. My car needs a whole new engine! With all the oil consumption issues and everything, there is no doubt in my mind that this engine design is faulty.

I have a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica, which just had the mounts break that holds the engine and front end. I have researched this, and apparently this is a very common, and expensive issue. I seriously question why Chrysler Corp has not recalled this?

I had been having some trouble starting my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. As I was trying to start the car, the engine caught on fire. The fire started on the passenger side closest to the front bumper. My two small children were with me. We put the fire out with an extinguisher, and no one was hurt. We called the Prince George's Fire Dept (MD), and they came out as well. I know there have been reports of the 2007 models catching fire, but I am not sure of the 2004.

Less than a week following an unpleasant service experience at All-Star. I visited another retailer for a tire repair. When my 2004 Pacifica was hoisted for the repair, the technician and manager came to get me and showed me substantial rust, holes and deterioration in the vehicle subframe which they conveyed represented a significant safety hazard. They recommended I contact Chrysler as they assumed I must have missed a recall given this inordinate condition in my vehicle. When I looked online, there were clearly many instances of this same problem in the US and Canada and mention of an alleged "silent recall" in some of the articles.

I have a Chrysler Pacifica 2005 purchased from the show room. I have 31,400 miles. I have had to replace both front axles and three motor mounds. All the mechanics tell me that this should not have occurred. However there is no recall on the vehicle? I paid 26,000 dollars for a lemon and still owe $8,900.00. What can be done? It is costing me additional money besides my monthly payments to repair vehicle. I don't get it.

I have a 2005 Pacifica that has the same problem that tons of people on the internet have had. The car will not take gas but says it's full. This happens every time I fill the tank (20 minutes to fill). Maximum, it will take 10 gallons. This appears to be a major problem for Chrysler and they will not deal with it. What is a person supposed to do? Please feel free to publish me anywhere you want or call me please! Thanks. It's a $40,000.00 car with a major problem and the manufacture will not stand by it.

I bought a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica 4.0 Touring Edition wagon. I have already replaced the motor mounts on the vehicle as well as the gas tank has a major problem. It started a few months ago, when I went to fuel the car, gas spews back out of the tank as if under pressure. It takes 30 minutes to slowly trickle in 10 gallons of gas, which is the most I can put in the tank at any time. Even though it is a 20 gallon tank, anything more than that runs back out on the ground. I have had the car in the repair shop three times to the tune of approximate $350.00 and they can not seem to find out what it wrong with it.

I called Chrysler to see if a recall had been issued on the motor mounts for the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica and the answer was "no". I was told to file a complaint with the Office of Defects Investigation so I did. I was quoted $680 to replace the mounts. I have not had them replaced because the local dealer has 65 of them on back order.

I have a 2007 Pacifica with oil consumption problems. I am losing one to two quarts a month. My dealer is now telling me that I may have to put a new engine in the car. I have been reading the complaints of others with the same problem, and found many others with same issues. Why does Chrysler allow this issue to go on, without checking into this matter, and recall cars to correct the problem. There has to be justice somewhere. I don't have the resources or time for another car.

I'm very happy I got my recall in the mail today. I had taken my car in the shop over the last 6 months flushing my money down the drain gas which was 3 miles to the gallon. I was getting horrible headaches all the time I drove this car around during my entire pregnancy. My doctors had no idea what was causing the headaches. I was taking my car and paying money every time the engine lite came on. I had oil changes once a month; no mechanic had answers, they just charged me more. My car never ran good after 25K when I got the recall about my car 4.0 model was exceeding the California requirements; it did not control the nitrogen oxides. After driving it for five years, I just now get a letter. What's wrong with these people?

In 2005, we bought a used 2004 Pacifica with about 17,000 miles on it. I started having problems with the fuel pumps. The gauge would go from half full to empty and within a few miles, the car would shut off-out of gas. There are dual fuel pumps for the dual fuel tanks. When the first tank was empty, the gauge went to empty from half full, which wouldn't have been all that bad but it would take 10-15 minutes to get maybe 5 gallons in. To make a long story short, this happened to us four times in a couple years. We went to trade and I really like the Pacifica and they had a good deal on a new 2007, and we were told that they had changed the fuel system and wouldn't have that problem. Wrong! There are still 2 fuel pumps/tanks and we have had them replaced at around 16,000 miles and about 1 and 1/2 weeks ago at about 31,000 miles and will be taking it back in the next couple days for the 3rd set of fuel pumps. This last one lasting maybe 200-250 miles. Has anyone else had this problem?
