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.

Best buy!! - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
By chrissyws - July 19 - 4:56 pmMy husband and I just purchased this vehicle a month ago and are in LOVE!!! We traded in a 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee and do not miss it at all! There is no commparison. The Jeep had horrible gas mileage, very noisy and bumpy, and uncomfortable. We have owned luxury cars and to us this car is above them. The ride is so smooth, handling is wonderful, and overall a fun car to drive. I was a little hesitant due to my minivan phobia but could not be more pleased. You do need to watch carefully when reversing but that is the only concern I have. All our friends have also fallen in love and one is actually going to purchase the Pacifica. We highly recommend this car!!

Poor Build Quality (Lots of repairs) - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
By Brent - July 10 - 7:34 pmWeve owned this vehicle for close to 4 years and have had many problems. Two ABS wheel sensors have gone bad & have been replaced ($150 ea). The EGR Valve went bad, but a $4 can of carburetor cleaner & a set of tools with 15 minutes under the hood fixed that problem. The EGR Valve would have cost about $250 at the dealer. Both rear windows needed the regulators replaced ($300 ea). The front left CV Joint needed to be replaced ($200). Most of the wheel bolts have broken off and needed replacement. Our gas mileage is poor 15 / 19 mpg. If this car was more reliable, we would really like it. It is great on long trips & has plenty of room. Now I wish Honda or Toyota had built our car!

Excellent BUT! - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
By Chowguy - June 28 - 7:29 amCar now has 42,000 miles. Thus far Im pleased except for the following issues. Have replaced 3 batteries. They just go dead in the garage. No reason that I can see. Have replaced the backup sensor utility which was under warranty thank goodness. Car is fun to drive but does have some "blindspots" you need to be careful with. The battery issues is a puzzling one that just nags at me.

New car - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
By Don - June 27 - 11:33 pmIn first 1000 miles had to take car back 6 times to get "Free DVD" system to operate correctly. Car came with DVD in dash from factory and Dealer advertised "Free DVD Monitor" with sale. What I was not told was the monitor was not going to be a Chrysler unit but a cheap aftermarket. I found out the hard way that it does not turn off when folded back up and the key is off. Had to jump car twice before found out what was running battery down. Also had Uconnect system installed and its phone book feature does not work very well. Uconnect does a good job of receiving calls but makes entering items in the phone book very hard.

Loving every minute of it - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
By Chenango Mango - June 5 - 5:10 amTraded in an Audi A4 Avant because I needed a bigger car with the addition of a new child. Read all the reviews, test drove the VW Passat, Volvo XC and Audi A6. The Pacifica just has so much more room and functionality and, suprisingly, its darn fun to drive. It doesnt hug the corners like my Audi did, but thats little sacrifce based on what Im gaining. This car has done very well in the snow with all-season tires but I do plan on getting snows for next winter. If Chyslers quality sustains itself over the next 3 years, I will easily lease another one. Right now, I have nothing bad to say about this car based on 1 month and 1000 miles. I love it.

Simply Amazing SUV - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
By vamfrank - May 2 - 1:04 amI simply love this car. Solid , reliable, and great looks. It is like driving a Mercedez with a chrysler logo. I was a bit reluctant to go with an American car, but no regrets. I am still amazed at my car. Pure luxury

I dont feel safe in a Pacifica - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
By Elmodorph - April 19 - 12:30 pmThe I almost died part . after driving 70 miles I got off the freeway and stopped at a stop sign when I went to go the car went and stalled in the middle of two lanes of a four lane state higway. I had two trucks lock up their brakes and I saw my life flash before me. Luckily they did not hit me and they just had selective hand signals for me. At first I though that perhaps it was my mistake. About 20 min later it did the exact same thing I stopped at a stop sign started to go and the vehicle stalled. I drove the car for another 130 miles and it did not occur again. The engine light did not come either time.

Wonderful - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
By Happy Customer - April 17 - 1:36 amI received the Pacifica for my fist car last year and I absolutely love it! Even being a teenager I dont regret picking this over another car. The handling and performance are great. Interior quality and appearance are superb. One of the best buys you can get for the space, luxury, and overall satisfaction. A definite must for anyone looking in this class of SUV

this car is junk - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
By michael bratcher - April 16 - 8:46 pmwhen we purchased this vehicle,we were hoping for it to be the last one for a long time.Know we are falling back into the same situation again.The car has been nothing but trouble,we had to have the front tierods replaced at only 36000 miles,and it has been burning a half a quart of oil between oil changes and know the egr valve is going out with only 46000 miles on it.I dont know if there is anything that can be done about this but I would really like to know.
