This Year's Model Updates:

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.

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, spotty reliability on early models.

  • ABS a problem - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I also am having problems with the ABS brake system. The car only has 38,000 miles and the ABS brake system is failing. Ive already had worn out tire rods replaced and the electronic drivers side seat failed. I am regretting purchasing this car. It is too new to be having these problems.

  • Speed sensors - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    The car is decent. Nice style and plenty of room for a family, but I must have a lemon. I have had my ABS sensors in all four wheels replaced 2 times and my axle has broken twice, for no reason, just city driving, to the grocery store and mall. The first time I had the problem with the ABS sensors the car was only a few months old and its happened every year. Now I am working on the 3rd time I must have these sensors changed and they have no clue why I keep having this problem. Of course, now the car no longer has a warranty and I have to pay for it. DESPITE the fact that the same work has been done 2 other times. Just beware and be cautious.

  • Would Have Not Purchased This Vehcile - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    The visibility on this car is terrible. Two of the ABS sensors went on it within 2 months of owning it. Anything you get on the seat stains because of the material. You cannot just steam clean it yourself. It stains worse. When stepping on the gas (at times) the RPM goes up to 4 and the car hesitates too much. I heard this is due to the new engines that have been put into these models.

  • Oil Eater! - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I love the styling and the third row seat, but that is it! My biggest complaint is that it runs out of oil at 3500 miles. Chrysler claims that 1 quart every 1000 miles is within "normal parameters" and they cant seem to find my cars problem and claim it is "within their parameters". They voided my warranty after 3500 miles between an oil change which is over the recommended 3000 Miles. 3500-4000 between changes should be no problem. Yet this car was almost dry at 3500, 4.5 out of 5 quarts low! They see that a car may have a major problem and will find what ever it takes to not stand behind the vehicle. 3500 and its void and your problem and your cost despite the $2000 warranty we bought.

  • Got Oil? - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    I love the style of the car and all of the features are wonderful! The DVD/suround sound is also a good feature. Having 6 seats is also an added bonus, but with all of that being said, my car burns more than 1 qt. of oil in about 800 miles. This has been verified twice by the dealership and Chrysler refuses to deal with the problem.

  • Hate to Drive it in Heavy Rain - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    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"

  • The Worse!!!!! - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    This is the worst vehicle I have ever purchased!! I would not buy another Chrysler product because of all the problems that I have had. The front suspension has been replaced 3 times and is in need of another replacement in which Chrylser refuses (Lemon Law). The PTO also has been replaced twice. STAY AWAY!

  • Chrysler Pacifica - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    Ive had the car around 2 months now and Ive had several annoying problems with some of the dasboard display mechanisms. I have had to have two components replaced in the first two months. Ive also had a recall already. The car is comfortable to ride in but a bit sluggish upon initial accelaration. It does very well in the snow which is the reason I purchased this SUV in the first place. It is also great for kids and pets.

  • Poor Quality - 2005 Chrysler Pacifica
    By -

    This is great looking car, but I am disappointed with the cheap material and poor performance/workmanship and low mileage. Front bumper is made with very thin plastic. I get only 13-15 mile/gallon. During winter time it gave starting trouble several times but the dealer fixed it after 2 visits but I am still having low mileage problem.
