Overview & Reviews

A midlevel Touring model is added to the Pacifica lineup, and the base model loses some of its standard equipment to accommodate a new lower price. Rear parking assist is now optional.

• 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, spotty reliability on early models.

  Love the car but... - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By frjoel - August 4 - 9:54 pm

  As a senior citizen driving a 2005 Pacifica Touring AWD I thought I had found my ‘dream car.’ The car handles well, offers outstanding comfort and provides all of the options I could want. The fuel consumption is not outstanding but about what I would expect given the size of the car. The in dash GPS is nicely done with the exception of the maps provided. These are poorer than any of the three after market GPS units that we have in our other cars. Still I use the past tense in describing it as my ‘dream car’ because I began to have problems with oil consumption. I have since learned that Chrysler claims that using one quart of oil every 1000 thousand miles is ‘normal’ for their 3.5L engine.

  Saved My Life - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Michael - July 25 - 11:57 am

  I bought mine used with 19k miles. Loved it for the 2 months I had it, then was hit from in right rear corner of car by guy doing 90 mph. Totally caved in right side of car but inside was intact with no caving. This car probably saved our lives and while my next car was a Ford, I still miss the Pacifica and you cant overrate its safety, especially when you need it.

  Kool Pac - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By tmcdaniels - July 13 - 4:50 pm

  I have had this car for three weeks and 3,000 miles now. Not a problem, drives like a dream, not too bad on gas for such a heavy car. 19 city and 25 highway. Drives like my volvo and rides better than my caddy. I love this car. Good quality fit and finish

  Pacifica - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Paul Chapman16 - July 7 - 10:56 pm

  We purchased the pacifica two weeks ago, so I really cant speak to its reliability, but so far we are happy with its handling and comfort. We have the front wheel drive version and it seems to handle well in snowy consitions. The inside is roomy and makes tou feel like you are in a much larger vehicle. As we have found with most Chrysler vehicles the seat belts are difficult to find and release.

  Pacifica Signature Series AWD - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Sue in Virginia - July 6 - 3:20 pm

  The vehicle has been outstanding. The true test was in February when we had an ice storm. There were 4wd vehicles skidding all over the road and the Pacifica went straight up the hill and my nerves were put at ease. This vehicle is so much fun to drive and comfort, comfort, comfort. I would highly recommend the Pacifica to anyone who likes to have the extra room with sedan comfort and quiet ride. I only wish we had bought one sooner.

  Its not a minivan! - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Hanne - June 4 - 8:17 pm

  I really like driving my Pacifica. Its great for scooting around town or long trips out of state. It is easy to get the kids in and out and they enjoy the ride also. Its a great vehicle for the mom that doesnt want to be a minivan mom. It rides fantasticly and the buffeting noise is an easy fix with a small adjustment in any window.

  Hate to Drive it in Heavy Rain - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By mcnamara - May 22 - 1:56 pm

  Lots of blind spots. Water gets caught behind rear wheels when heavy rain is present . It has caused us to lose control of the car on I-95 more than once. It is quite frightening to be "out of control" on a road that doesnt have good drainage. I wish that I could terminate my lease because I dont feel safe in "Americas Safety Utility Vehicle"

  Pacifica Disgust - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Mark - May 10 - 10:30 pm

  I am stuck with an extremely poor quality vehicle and have experienced the worst customer service from Chrysler. Their solution is to keep on fixing every problem, and some more than once. When the right thing to do is to take the vehicle back.

  Rides and Handles Like A Dream - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By ikoco - May 10 - 8:50 pm

  The Pacifica was the perfect car for me. The ride and handling are really impressive. Most of my driving is inner city and my SUV handles like a sports car while darting in and out of traffic. The suspension is firm enough to corner well, but still smooth enough for the sunken streets and potholes of New Orleans. I have carried five full sized teenage boys across Louisiana to playoff basketball games in comfort. The rear seats offer ample head and leg room. The Infinity surround sound system and DVD player provides the highest fidelity of all the other autos I test drove. My 3.8L engines allows me to pass just about everything on the road but a gas station. I get 16/24 MPG.

  Safe, solid, comfortable touring wagon - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
  By McThermal - April 25 - 10:33 pm

  Car had two minor recalls for headlight harness and fuel control module. Waited for parts. Has never stranded us or not started. EGR valve replaced at 49,900 miles. Still have 50% brakes after 50,500 mi. Brakes are one of its finest features. They stop straight and true like a Mercedes. Vehicle is solid as a vault, but heavy which keeps fuel economy and performance from being rated higher. Goes fast on highway with no worries, tracks beautifully. Two rows of heated leather seat are best in the business. It really can seat six, but four are very, very comfortable. AWD kicks in on snow and is barely noticeable. Goes nice and straight. Utility of a minivan with lt more style. Volvo-like safety.
