• Tighter fit for five or six, lackluster performance from base V6, debatable reliability.

  Finally getting rid of it. - 2008 Chrysler Pacifica
  By robrob1 - June 22 - 7:02 am

  Only the tip of the Iceberg. After 3,000 miles, they tried to fix the dreaded chronic transmission problems . (do a Google search).The sight of seeing the tranny in pieces from my new car made me regret my purchase instantly. They never really fixed the problem, so I was frustrated for 48 months. This car is also a MAJOR GAZ GUZZLER. In cold weather, the dual-exhaust system makes an unbelievable racket. Radio controls (and sound) are worthy of a 70s Corolla, cheap plastic and all. The idea for this car was right, but implementation was an unfinished nightmare. Too bad, it was full of promises. Pros: good ride, seats ok, roomy. Returning it next week, at long, long last. Good riddance.

  Not recommended - 2008 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Yolanda English - October 9 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Pacifica for my birthday earlier this year. I was interested in it because I needed the 3rd row and was tired of being in a many van & I though it was cute. But having the 3rd row seat, it has no trunk room. You cant ride with the back windows down because of the noise the air pressure makes and its a gas guzzler. I wouldnt recommend this car to my worst enemy. Also, when my batter died, I couldnt even turn the key to put the car in neutral to roll it back. To me, thats just not right.

  A problem no one can fix - 2008 Chrysler Pacifica
  By Bob - January 7 - 7:20 pm

  When first starting my 2008 Pacifica, it sounds like the starter remains engaged with the flywheel for a few seconds. More so when cold than subsequent attempts. Starter replaced, problem not solved. Dealership is now saying the power steering fluid maybe thickening up due to the cold weather and the power steering maybe causing noise. Find this hard to believe for a car with less than 25k (or at all). Had other problems (tie rod, brakes, rattling noise in the interior) since purchasing vehicle with 18+k miles on it. Too many for a such a newer vehicle in my opinion.
