Overview & Reviews

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

• Exceptional comfort for four, drives more like a sedan than a minivan, top-notch safety scores, upscale interior design.

• Average room for six, not as family-friendly as most minivans, gets expensive when you add high-end options, fussy climate and radio controls.

  and the problem goes on - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  By vmanzanares951 - November 13 - 12:15 pm

  So I bought my pacifica in May 2014 at a dealership in Temecula, CA saw the carfax car seemed great except it was from Missouri. Well thats should have told me something there but I didnt know. Now I have replaced the front struts 4 times since May replaced the axles twice emissions problems then motor mounts went out ALL 4, This is the disaster part, My Sub-Frame is completely Rusted the rear end can not be aligned until I replace the alignment parts because they are so rusted. Got a flat tire and went to crank my car up with the stock jack and it went right thru the driver side floorboard. I dont know what to do anymore I paid way over the price for everything sale 6k repairs 4k

  Good idea, bad implementation. - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  By jp384 - August 24 - 2:14 am

  Not the most comfortable car to drive. Feels like a boat and Im afraid of hitting everything when Im in the city. Front suspension seems a bit loose so every time we had to stop quick, the front would take a deep dive and when it went over a driveway that was higher then the road it would bottom out at 12 mph, which might be why the bearing plates broke (something our mechanic told us was common in them). Learning transmission never up shifted when it should have and loved to rev up to the red before it would finally shift. Needs plus gas for power and fuel economy. For a car thats supposed to be a town car and SUV I think Chrysler failed to make a car thats good at being either.

  Weak on quality - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  By T - September 7 - 3:46 pm

  The salesman touted the Mercedes Benz connection. Though I dont own a Mercedes, I would not compare the quality of this auto with a Mercedes - far from it. Generally it has a low quality feel. Very low power (even when new) from a 6 cylinder reported to be 250 hp plus really poor mileage (15 mpg). Then add stupid problems that are quality related such as an oil pan made of "soft aluminum" whose drain plug is easily stripped ($700 repair), air conditioner failure, lots of batteries (four so far), heater fan failure, rocker panel made of breakable plastic. In comparison, my Acura tl with equal miles (90k) drives like the day I purchased it and has required no repairs

  Help - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  By gary - April 9 - 8:16 pm

  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 dlpannebakker - April 7 - 10:42 pm

  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.

  worst vehicle made. - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  By nick - September 17 - 7:02 am

  Car required 20 000$ in service over 2 years. Its hard to remember all of the problems, I havent had the car for two years now. I will give it a shot though, -tie rods three times, transfer case quit, heater quit ,glue on entire dash let go, steering rack, electric lift gate wouldnt work, tire pressure sensors never worked, computer in dash quit, ball joints twice in 50,000 km I owned the car for two years thank god I got rid of it, we literally couldnt keep it on the road. Simply the worst car I have ever owned. Will never buy a Dodge Chrysler again. Paid 45,000 car was worth 8000 two years later, awesome.

  Never again - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Ernie - September 13 - 9:52 pm

  I bought my pacifica thinking I was getting the newest trend. The only thing I got was the shaft as in the drive shaft. I had to replace both within first year and both motor mounts. The transmission is terrible and is slipping. It does not handle well at all. Never again will I but one.

  Transmission Night Mare - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  By sagdds - February 9 - 10:38 am

  At 35000 miles transmission began mis-shifting, jerking, 11 weeks 5 visits at dealer between 35 and 67000 miles Told transmission OK rebuilt AWD. Told I believe they thought I had unrealistic expectations. Mis-shifting when down shifting 60 to 80 mph. At 67,000 miles on the highway transmission failed completely. Dealer told me transmission not repairable. Fortunately had extended warranty. Now low gear shifting OK still mis-shifts at high speeds. A bad quirky transmission.

  recall and other annoyances - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  By pattycifica - October 9 - 10:00 am

  My new Pacifica had a "ghost" beep for two months before they found the problem. They changed the air bag module and the beep stopped. Then it shut off on me...the dealership did not yet know of the recall...when they did I was without my car for 4 days before it was fixed.

  Bad Engineering and design - 2004 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Frank Wilson - October 1 - 2:00 am

  No room for storage. Hard to see behind and sides. GPS is POORLY positioned. No room for luggage and passengers. Keyless entry is poorly designed. Goes off at the touch of a quarter in my pocket. No place to store earphones for DVD. CD player is extremely noisy when changing CDs. Car is wind noisy. Very disappointed in general but then Im a senior citizen and this car wasnt designed for our generation.
