  Ready to trade - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By SereneMoments4U - January 22 - 12:38 pm

  I fell in love with the stylish look of the vehicle and the roomy interior. After a brief test drive, I purchased the Pacifica. Now, after several months of driving my Pacifica, Im ready to trade. There is a terrible blind spot on the drivers side, and backing up, unless you have the backing assistance, is a nightmare. You simply cannot see out the back due to the design of the car. There is more interior noise than I anticipated. The Pacifica is pretty to look at, but Im anxious to trade this one off.

  Love my Pacifica - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By berdan - January 21 - 3:36 pm

  I have four children who are older, I came from many minivans. We couldnt give up the space because sometimes the kids are with me for traveling. Also I like having space for when I buy furniture. I like a car that I feel safe in. This car offers all that. It drives like a dream. The seats are not so comfortable! A road trip to Florida proved that they are not meant for comfort.

  New Pacifica - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Vincent - January 3 - 10:43 pm

  I really like this car. It is a pleasure to drive. I have a fully loaded version and all the features are great. You really feel safe in this car and in control of the road. I get about 22 MPG highway and about 17 around town. If you drive with the engine cold, it is very thirsty, but this resolves once the engine warms up. The rear DVD system is a lifesaver with my son, get it if you have kids. The rear bucket seats are great and very comfortable. The navigation system is well worth it, but mine did "get lost" twice, and I had to shut off the engine and restart the car to reset the navigation. Acceleration is moderate, but for transporting kids, it is just fine.

  Love or Hate? - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Leon - December 30 - 1:38 am

  My wife and I fell in love with the looks inside and out on our 15th anniversary and drove it off the lot. We have noticed as others have (low fuel economy, bellowing noise with the back windows down, some obstructed view in the rear, but most of all look out at 45000 miles. Rocker arm repair will hit and with a short warranty period you are looking at $1300+ in repair costs. After some complaining about the pre-mature defect Chrylser helped out with the repair bill. Koodos for that. Now that we are going on to 50k we are feeling some trans. shifting issues, but could it be the lack of a warranty jacking with my mind. Over all to this point I like the car.

  Do not buy - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By KS - December 19 - 2:03 pm

  I bought this car because I wanted a crossover vehicle. I was pleased with the amount of room inside the car and also the interior. However, that is where it stops. The car has absolutely no power. It is hard to merge onto the freeway, oh and when you accelerate to merge onto that freeway you will watch your money fly out the window because it sucks up so much gas. The reliability of the car is horrible. I have had the car stall on me several times while driving, and then brought it into the dealer for them to tell me that there is nothing wrong with the car.

  First and last - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Shawn - December 18 - 1:26 am

  My ABS light kept coming on and I found out that my tire sensors were malfunctioning. That was $600 worth of heartache. The breaking system has always been loud and annoying and there are clicks and clacks in the axles. By the way, never drive over 40mph and lower the back windows. I havent studied enough physics to figure that one out yet. Neither has Chryslers engineers. There is also a bad blind spot in the drivers rearview. Also, my passenger side low beam light has blown 3 times in the last 6 months. They only cost $20 a pop. Oh well.

  Hate to see it go - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Lee - October 28 - 8:38 pm

  So far this has been an absolutely fabulous driving and riding vehicle. Wife doesnt ask to stop every two hours to stretch and walk out the kinks. Gas mileage is not bad (22.7) on trips as long as you dont use ethanol. In 34000 miles the only problem is with an electronic sender that tells the torque converter to lock. Warranty covered. Hate to see them go, may drive this one into the ground.

  Best Car I ever had - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By No - September 8 - 8:13 pm

  This is a great car. I was in a very serious accident and needed a car that would feel and be safe for me and my daughter. It is. The only issue is gas mileage and some poor rear visibility. Best Car I ever owned. love It

  Hasnt Let Me Down Yet - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By samuelb - September 1 - 9:28 pm

  We purchased our Pacifica FWD Touring Edition in June of 2006. It now has almost 85,000 miles on it, mostly highway miles from my commute to work. The Pacifica is a very comfortable and pleasant car to drive. The build quality has been pretty good and so far weve had no problems with it. One of the earlier comments about these cars being lousy in winter is incorrect. Ive been through 3 winters now with my Pacifica and it gets through the snow almost as well as some 4 wheel drive vehicles do. Gas mileage hasnt been spectacular, but I think I could be doing a lot worse. Overall, were quite happy with our Pacifica.

  Not happy Chrysler owner, last 1 4 ME - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Last Chrysler for me - August 5 - 8:59 pm

  Bought this car used in Jan 08, not too happy. Had to replace rocker arms last week, big money, no warranty even though only 50K miles. Some ABS or maybe rotor problem, dont even want to know the price for these repairs. Problems with cruise control, has mind of own, shifts up or down, wont resume speed if hit brakes. There is a loud clicking noise when turning slowly, the transmission shifts for no reason at times. This is the noisiest car Ive ever owned, there so many squeaks, clicks and rattles inside the passenger compartment that it is difficult to have a peaceful ride. Sunroof clicks if open or racked, the springs on the passenger seat, trim rattles on doors/dashboard, last 1 for me
