This Year's Model Updates:

The Pacifica is an all-new six-passenger vehicle that combines the attributes of a wagon, minivan and SUV.

Pros:
  • Exceptional comfort for four, drives more like a sedan than a minivan, top-notch safety scores, upscale interior design.
Cons:
  • Average room for six, not as family-friendly as most minivans, gets expensive when you add high-end options, fussy climate and radio controls.

  • Help - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica

    I own a 2004 Pacifica, and have a lot of problems with BRAKES. I had the motor mount replaced, and changed the brakes about every 4 months. The car is nice inside, rides good, and is comfortable. The only thing is all the maintenance work.

  • Never buy one - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    At first great auto. After owning for 2 years the black roof trim attachment points broke on both sides, dash panel in front of dash cracked and now the worst transmission failure. I never had a trans failure in any one of my cars. 2 Olds 442, 1 69 Hurst/Olds, 1972 Volvo 242, 2 Volvo 740 GLE, Dodge W250 Cummins Diesel, trans in it is weak. Borge Warner should have done a far better job. The Pacifica is in my words is not an dependable vehicle. Intake manifold is open at both ends, this allows mice to live between the V of the engine block, causing a chewing off the anti-knock sensor wire. Had it done, job performed by myself, not trusting ASE certified mechanics and the shop/dealer.

    We got a Chrysler Pacifica a couple of weeks ago. When the salesman showed it to us, I thought, what the hell is a pacifca. it had a hundred and seven thousand miles on it so we got the extended warranty.The reason we got another car is because my pathfinder is in the shop with radiator/transmission problems. I hope we have better luck with this car. So far t has been a very good experience. I hope it will continue to be so.

  • My Chrystler Pacifica - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica

    I purchased my first Pacifica in the summer of 2004 and in two weeks time it had broken down, almost got me hit on the 4-lane, and was towed back to the dealership. I then got a slightly used Pacifica-same type, different color, and after about a year it started having engine lights come on for no reason, it had transmission lights flash constantly, then the skipping started after about 2 years. It has skipped and jumped, especially when the cruise is on ever since about 2007. Then just this last week, I was driving to work and the car just quit going down the road. The steering went out, it wouldnt do a thing. By the way,I have serviced it every 3,000 mi.

  • I LOVE my Pacifica! - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I was shocked to hear when this car was being discontinued because I absolutely love it! However, I do wish it got better gas. I average about 18 mpg between highway/city. I have taken this on road trips around the country with my family and friends. My last one was last summer and was about 5,000 miles long. Nobody has EVER complained about comfort, but instead prefer to ride in my car because it IS so comfortable. I love the navigation in the dash though mine is currently not reliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt. I think the player gets dirty. In the 5 years Ive owned it, I have had to replace the front window regulators once each.

  • A Solid, Reliable Highway Cruiser - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    Since 1970 we had 3 BMWs, 5 Mercedes & the Pacifica. Interior is a bit cheesey (only 1/2 leather seats), but its a good car for the money. We bought ours in January 04 @ $7000 below sticker. Only problems were a leaking motor mount & a blown EGR, both fixed under warranty. No strange noises but we are on our 3rd battery. My wife has a bad back & the Pacifica is one of the few cars she can travel in comfortably. Actually prefers it to our 2000 S class Mercedes for trips because of the extra room & storage.(but she isnt driving) We mostly use our car for traveling & just replaced the original tires at 54,000 miles. It gets 17/26 mpg. I Would buy another but they discontinued them.

  • At Last - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I purchased this vehicle in 2006. It had 28,000 miles and now 56,000. There have been a few issues, but all were covered by the extended warranty I purchased from the C.U. where I secured the financing. I am 62 years old. This is the 1st car that I have owned where you actually look forward to a lengthy trip. The ride and seating are simply incredible. You will feel as fresh when it begins as when you arrive at your destination. Maybe it is the Mercedes platform and engineering. Bottom line, I will stack it up to any other crossover. It will win, hands down.

  • Nice to look at....Nice to drive - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    The transition from an SUV to the Pacifica was refreshing. The Pacifica is easy to get in an out of, has great handling characteristics, adequate performance and it makes a statement on the road (people stop and stare). The car is fun to drive! Gas milage is not great, but thats the price you pay for a heavy vehicle and AWD. Performance could be nicely improved by another 50 hp. I would buy it again, knowing what I know now, probably a lot cheaper now than then also.

  • Nice crossover! - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    Take my review with a grain of salt if you will as we have only owned our Pacifica a few short weeks. We bought it used with a hair over 40000 miles and only have a couple thousand more on it, but has not had one problem thus far like a lot of reviewers have mentioned. (Knock on wood, as that is why we purchased this vehicle as our old Lumina was nickle and diming us to death!) I believe we got a good one as it is mint! No scratches, dents....nothing! Even put on new OEM Michelins, which was a nice touch from the dealership. Only got the power- train warranty to 100,000 miles, so hoping we dont run into the tire-rod ends or control arm problem. Drives perfect for my wife and kids!

  • Pleased with 04 Pacifica - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I bought this car 6 years ago and now have 200,000 miles. I have not spent any money except for common maintenance items. The salesman told me "this is just like a Mercedes under the hood" because of their relationship then with Daimler-Benz. It must have been true ! I am giving this to my daughter & son-in-law . My grandson will lobe the DVD. I hope my new Ford Edge is just as good.
