Chrysler Pacifica Reviews

I purchased a 2006 Chrysler Pacific with 20,000 miles. Until recently I have been happy with my car. In August, my check engine light came on. I was told I needed a coil pack replaced. This was done under warranty work. Now, 10,000 miles late, my engine light is back on and once again I need a coil pack replaced. This time it will not be covered under warranty, even though the coil is less than a year old. Even though this may be the problem, I have been told that in the end, my car may need a valve job. I only have 45,000 miles on this car, why do I need a valve job? I have been told Chrysler is aware of this problem and have even sent a bulletin out to dealers/mechanics, but they will not take responsibility for it.

We own a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica that doesn't even have 100,000 miles and has to have an engine replaced... I contacted Chrysler Corp. and was told to take it to a certified dealer and have a diagnostic test done to confirm what my mechanic had already said and to call them back to see if they could help with the repair. After doing what they asked me to do knowing the mileage when they requested the diagnostic, I was informed that it was my problem not theirs. Seems that even Chrysler doesn't expect their own product to be reliable to 100,000 miles. And even worse, they wouldn't even pay the $215.00 for the tow and test to be run so they just cost us even more money for their lack of ethics. We will definitely not be buying anymore Dodge or Chrysler products and will be getting rid of this car as soon as I put the $7000.00 engine it. Seems like they should have to be responsible for the product that they produce. Also, the dealer is saying that the oil pump failed so why didn't an engine light come on??? This could have resulted in a huge accident if this engine had completely thrown the rod on a freeway... But hey, what do I know? I'm just the consumer!

My 06 Chrysler Pacifica has 40,000 miles on it and we are on our 3rd set of brakes of which I have had to pay for the last set. Now the ABS light is on permanently. This is a leased vehicle of which is out of warranty and only have 3 payments left on it. When we first complained about the brakes and the problems stopping vehicle at 9,000 miles, tech told me I didn't know what I was talking about and it was fine. Being a woman who doesn't believe I don't know what I am talking about, WE called the owner who then had the service manager ride in the vehicle and found that the brakes needed replaced because they were warped.

2004 Chrysler Pacifica - SAVE YOUR MONEY, BUY ANOTHER CAR! This thing is horrible, have been putting money into it since first week I bought it, first a screw came loose while driving on expressway - cause entire vehicle to shut down, had to get it towed! Then tire sensors went out, then belts went out then hoses then car started shifting oddly, now I am told it needs transmission rebuilt or replaced! And it makes loud noise which dealership nor anyone else can figure out what it is! I hate this vehicle!

I originally had my wifes vehicle repaired back in June 2008 and they said that it was the ABS module, costing $700. Got the car back and 2 days later the same thing. Lost brakes and ABS light came back on. I returned the car and Milford Chrysler said it was the left rear sensor. Now 9/9/08 The same effect, lost brakes and then the ABS light came on. Returned it to the same dealership and now tells me that the right sensor is bad and the cost is $350.00. Where does it end. This vehicle is defective or the dealership obviously does not know what they are doing? All I know is that I not feeling very goood about the 2006 Chrysler Pacifica.

Transmission problems with a faily new (2006) Chrysler Pacifica. Service records are impeccable and there is no reason why we should have to replace the transmission this soon.

The car stalls some times while driving and loses steering and brakes. Same issue as others above mentioned. Could be deadly. Dealership never able to find the issue.

Pacifica Chrysler major problems safety dangers they had lack of concern. time and major aggravation and lack of cooperation with Chrysler Corporatw

The ABS light in our 2006 Chrysler Pacifica began coming on and the brakes are not reacting normally. The car has 47,000 miles and is out of warranty. Our dealership says this is a common problem with this car and will cost over $500 to repair. Apparently the wheel sensors are bad and have to be replaced. For such a widely occuring issue, with an obvious safety issue involved, I am disappointed that Chrysler has not included the 2006 models in a recall.

Purchased new 2005 FWD Chrysler pcaifica, ABS light came on at 5 different times in less then 30,000 miles. Dealer replaced Five (5) wheel sensors and now car out of warranty. For 30,000 auto reliability is horrible, had tons of other work done but ABS shoud be major recall and investigated why failure of wheel sensors.

In October 2006 I purchased a pre-owned 2005 Chrysler Pacifica with approximately 20,000miles. In June of 2007 I began having problems with my ABS light coming on. I was out of town from June until September in Georgia and so I took it to a local dealer where the problem could be fixed. They said that my left rear wheel sensor needed to be replaced. My Pacifica still being under warranty, thankfully, the part was replaced.

I have my wifes car(Chrysler-Pacifica) in for service, the ABS light is on. My wife was driving it and the vehicle feels like it has no brakes and the ABS light comes and off at times.I took notice that there is a recall of vehicles for faulty ABS, traction control for the 2007 Chrysler/Pacifica. My wifes Pacifica is a 2006 and only has 56,000 miles on it and now it needs a ABS module (costing $675.installed) at Miford, Chrysler in Milford, Pa. I'm sorry but it just doesn't seem right for a car of that amount of miles. Is it possible that this particular vehicle was made in the time span as the 2007 model year, or can you tell me how to approach this matter.

I own a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica with about 20,000 miles and just experienced an unintended accereration. Has anyone else reported this problem?

We bought a low mileage pre-owned 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring FWD in 2006. It has 39800 miles. Overall we have enjoyed the car BUT it has dangerous blind spots and brake issues. The ABS sensors have had to be completely replaced as the ABS warning light kept appearing. Our service contract covered that expense and it took 3 different visits to the dealership before they could get all the work done. Thank goodness we had purchased the extra Service Contract that covered the rent car and the repair work. But even after the ABS sensors were diagnozed and replaced, the brakes still groaned only on certain occasions when applied. The pedal felt mushy, like to the floor but did stop the vehicle eventhough it was concerning that the pedal would go to the floor without working sufficiently. Of course, I kept taking it back but the dealer could not duplicate. Finally, they told me at 37000 that the rotors needed to be resurfaced. I had that work done. However, the problem persisted. In fact it became more frequent. I took it back at 39800 miles, 2 months after the resurfacing work was done, and was informed that I needed to either resurface the rotors again or replace the rotors all together. And I needed new brake pads because the groaning was the pads interacting with the rotor rust. I understood that the brake pads were my responsibility but felt that Chrysler SHOULD replace the rotors for me as they had been properly maintained and still were not performing to the manufacturer's specifications. The dealership Service Manager did share with me that even when the rotors are resurfaced OR replaced, the problem would occur again as the parts that Chrysler uses tend to have problems with wear and tear etc. That was distressing to hear and because Chrysler has chosen to use inferior parts, I'm pursuing Chrysler to replace my rotors at no charge to me. I will replace the brake pads at my cost. This will give me time to TRADE IN my Pacifica on some other, more safe vehicle. I've also experienced a couple of minor engine lunges (sudden, unexplained acceleration) which is just another reason to get rid of it and never buy a Chrysler product again because you have to fight with them to reasonably stand behind their product and dealers.

I have a Pacifica that experienced the same issue noted by some of those above) stalled during a left hand turn. Dealer could not duplicte issue.

I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacific that I've had for 8 months. Yesterday I went to start it and it would not start, it just made a loud clicking noise lights flashing and the immobilizer light came on. It was not the battery and obviously it has something to do with the immobilizer. It is still under warranty and only has 30,000 miles on it. I had a feeling I might find other people with the same problem, I just didn't realize how many there were with this problem! Why isn't Chrysler doing anything about this!

My Chrysler Pacifica would die when slowing down and turning to the left. The dealer couldn't get it to repeat the problem. It has done this 4 times. Also, I have had the engine replaced. When it was replaced the main rear seal was leaking from the factory rebuilt engine. Chrysler didn't want to do anything about the inconveniences the engine problems had caused.

I purchased a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica in May 2007. We were waiting the arrival of our second child and wanted a larger safe family car. 8 months later while driving to work, my car completely shut off while turning into the parking garage. My car pulled to a stop directly in front of the exit ramp at a busy hospital and I was stuck. It took several attempts to get it restarted. I took it to the dealership (it's still under factory warranty)and they were unable to repeat the problem. My car is still at the dealership because I am afraid for my two young children to get in a car that will do that. I understand that they can't find it, but as far as I'm concerned they need to keep looking because cars just don't do that. I will NEVER buy another Chrysler from this or any other dealership again! I just don't trust them!

2006 Chrysler Pacifica Car has stalled on numerous occasions. I have been told that there is nothing wrong with the car. All they end up doing is flashing the memory.

2006 Chrysler Pacifica - I was driving my Pacifica in a parking lot when the vehicle suddenly shut down & steering wheel locked up. I placed the car into park and re-started the vehicle. I already had the vehicle serviced for the recall that went out this past November 2006. I drive the freeway EVERYDAY and I am so thankful I was not on the freeway when the car shut down with NO WARNING!

I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. Twice while driving the car shut off and the steering column locked up, and the system immobilizer light came on.

I am writing regarding a problem I have with my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica AWD. It is currently in the shop having the entire fuel tank replaced. I have been reading on the internet about an investigation into this problem, but couldn't find out how to report my problem. My car was fine yesterday when I pulled out of the garage to take my daughter to ballet. I had 5 children in the car with me. Approximately 15 min after returning home, my daugher went into the garage to get something she had left in the car. She ran in to tell me the garage smelled of gas. I went outside to find a large puddle of gasoline under the car and the fuel tank steadily leaking. Apparently something had hit the connector that goes from the gas line into the tank and busted it. It is inexplicablely made of PLASTIC. Gas was pouring out of it.

Right after my 2004 Chevrolet Tahoe hit 38000 miles, I started noticing glitches in my windshield wipers. The intermittent functions were faulty and inconsistent at first. Then, after about another two weeks, the wipers started staying on after the switch was turned off. Soon, they were not shutting off at all unless I turned the entire vehicle off.

We leased 2 Chrysler Pacificas through our buisness for family use. Unfortunatly the one I drive started to have Electrical,Brake and an Unusual smell of fumes from the moment we pulled it off the lot.I have had it in for the same repairs on at least 5-6 occasions and the car is only 20 months old. I have gone through the protical that Chrysler has requested and on many occasions when my a.b.s light would come on and my brakes would engage and I had little control it was scarry.More importanly I found myself as well as my children intoxicated by the fumes that filtered into the car As many others ,they cannot reproduce this.

I own a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. When making a left hand turn the vehicle stalled on a road with speed limits of 55mph. My daughter was in the car with me and we almost collided with a Chevy Suburban. I restarted the vehicle and got home without incident. When I called the dealership for service they told me its something that happens a lot and that it had to do with the 10% ethanol fuel and there was nothing I could do. I asked about bringing it in and they told me I could two days later but they wouldn't find anything since the check engine light did not come on and there was no diagnostic record of it. I called Chrysler customer service and they told me that I should call another dealership and gave me a list.

My Chrysler Pacifica 2006 model has stalled twice, completely shutting down. The vehicle had to be put in park and restarted. Both incidents happened as we were pulling into parking spaces. The first time there was another vehicle behind me who honked at me because of my sudden stop. The second time no one was behind us. Scary.

2005 AWD Touring Pacifica stalls on low speed left turns with brake applied and foot off gas. Stalled over 20 times since new. Close calls with another SUV while stalled in the road. Dealer refuses to take the car in and fix it after 6 times. Chrysler not returning phone calls or attempting to address the issue.

The Pacifica stalled twice while driving it. After these stalls, we received a notification of a national recall on Pacificas for this issue. We took it in and that problem was apparently fixed. Another safety issue arose when all the electronics in the car stopped working, denying my pregnant wife the ability to safely drive the vehicle. This problem happened to correlate to another national recall, of which we were never notified.
