  Excellent SUV Alternative That Tows - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By E & S - March 21 - 6:18 pm

  Excellent Styling. Come on guys it gets very decent gas mileage for a 4400 plus vehicle. Great to show up at a wedding with, or tow your boat to the local ramp. Plenty of power with 250 H.P., however you some what feel the weight of this beautiful beast on a steep incline. I feel the designers of this vehicle did not market this vehicle right from beginning to end, if they did they would consider future production of the Pacifica with improvements. Shame on you marketing team.

  Hunk Of Junk - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Angry 1 - March 19 - 1:01 pm

  I bought this car, loaded and thought I would be so happy with it. Little did I know a week after I bought it, it would end up in the shop for a week and a half. A month after that it was in the shop for 4 days for the same exact problem, something with the rocker arms, and problems with the ABS. The car has been nothing but problems and wish I never bought it. Beautiful inside and out but built with tape and glue. Do yourself a favor and dont even consider the car. I was told it was not safe to drive at all. The dealership and Chrysler were no help at all, telling me I was on my own as there was nothing they could tell me and I had not purchased the extended warranty.

  2006 Pacific Experience - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By DCB - March 17 - 7:59 pm

  I very much enjoyed this vehicle. Comfort, Style, Reliability, Performance, Road handling have exceeded my expectations from an American made auto product. However, I have just exceeded 36,000 miles and seem to be burning oil. I know this was/is a problem for the 2004 and 2005 model years. Wondering if any other 2006 PAC owners have same experience with burning oil between changes?

  Great car - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Walt - February 24 - 12:12 pm

  Rides and drives great, very comfortable on trips, had no problems with it, better than an SUV in the snow. Grandkids love the DVD and heated seats in the back. We are very satisfied with this vehicle so far. Consumer Reports shows poor reliabilty for 04 & 05 models, but great tests in 06, I think they have the bugs worked out.

  Great Car - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By SGT Penny - January 26 - 8:39 pm

  I bought this car in Dec. 2006 as of today I have 48000 miles on it. I got this car for my wife and are 2 babies, they love it. The dvd player is great on long trips. I have had no problems with this car. One of the best on the road. To young for the mini van, already have a Yukon XL, this is much better. All the people whinning about mpg, they arent driving it right. I get anywhere between 19.2 to 24.7. It has the get up ad go if you use the auto stick, thats what it is for. Ever car has blind spots, stop being lazy and mover your head around.

  Im Unhappy - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By LavandaDolce - January 12 - 8:37 pm

  Forget this vehicle if you live in snow. My Pacifica Touring has 24,000 highway miles. The ABS System is poor. Grinding stops on light wet roads. 2 occasions in which vehicle "sped up" on its own. Poor visibility when looking to back out of a parking space. Sorry that I fell in love with the interior as the car itself is very scary to drive. Its going to dealership to find out what the problem is with the ABS system. Handles absolutely poorly in snow and/or wet roads. Fact is, I refuse to drive my car until dealer proves whatever is wrong is fixed.

  Bushs Review of the 2005 Pacifica - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Pacifica 4 dr tour - January 7 - 5:33 pm

  This vehicle is stable on the road and is gives a very comfortable ride. The interior is very appealing; the dash appears to wrap around the front which is especially nicely designed. The drivers seat is quite comfortable for me, and I am a short person. I especially like the extra lumbar support. The vehicle recently took four children in booster seats and car seats on a short outling; the ride was quite comfortable for the two adults. Cargo space is limited when using four car seats for children, but I do not haul more than two children on most occasions. The children and I like the extra vents that help to circulate heat and air conditioning.

  Its an OK vehicle - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Teri - October 25 - 9:34 am

  I bought this vehicle last year because I needed a vehicle with more leg room. I thought the exterior was very sharp looking considering its essentially a stationwagon/suv. I had a VW Jetta with turbo but with the two kids didnt have hardly any leg room. Initially, I really loved the vehicle but after some time Im already looking for a new vehicle. The interior is pretty and there is plenty of leg room but when you have to use the 3rd row seats you cant fit a thing in the back. Gas mileage should be better and the vehicle needs a little more oomph/pick up when you need to accelerate quickly (I feel like a grandma driving this thing sometimes).

  Ideal Choice - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Steve B. - October 19 - 11:04 am

  My wife and I spent a few months trying to decide on a suitable family vehicle. I no longer wanted a minivan, and the 4+ seats SUVs were too expensive. She convinced me to get the Pacifica, and after 30k miles, were still enjoying it with hardly any issues. I really recommend this vehicle, though a little too much to drive as a commute vehicle everyday.

  Nothing But Problems - 2006 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Frank - September 2 - 8:16 am

  My 2006 Pacifica has been nothing but problems. Warped rotors, transmission issues, high idle on three occassions, exterior windshield gasket falling off, body molding/trim on drivers side of vehicle pulling away from frame of car...and several other issues. The car has only 18,000 miles on it, but it seems that it has spent more time in the dealers garage than it has in my own. Ive never had a vehicle with so many issues, and Ive had 19 vehicles in 25 years. The dealer has been cooperative and accomodating on most issues, but weve had so many problems, the service manager knows us so well that no appointment is necessary. We just bring it in. Has been a very bad experience.
