Used 2004 Chrysler Pacifica Consumer Reviews
many repairs at 50k
Have all the bells and whistles, have had little problems. Reached 50k and now had to replace the evaporator for the AC plus drier/freon/oil for $1900. Also the front brakes for $250. The motor mounts are cracked, $700, The total repairs for this plus other items was $6,600. Never had that kind of problems with any other car I have owned.
I got a good one
Bought car in Oct of 04 with 17k, now has 75k and still going. The only problems I've had, power seats went out about 4 years ago, but warranty took care of it. It does have a loud popping noise coming from front end, but they all seem to do that. Motor mounts are now shot, but the worst is that the dealer doesn't have any, so I've been waiting since April and they are still on back order. Other then that it's been great! Sturdy car, hit a median on the freeway in Cali going 70 mph and nothing happened, didn't even get a flat, just had to change the tie rod ends & rack, but that was my fault and warranty covered it. One more year and it's paid for. I hope it continues to hold up.

Luxury for less
I too had to replace what seems to be the "defect" items on my 2004 Pacifica. The tie rods and the Fan Relay at roughly 60,000 miles. I bought mine certified in 2006 with 19k miles on it. I now have 69000 miles. For the amount of accomodation this car offers and all the high end ammenties I am glad I bought it. The pros by far outweigh the cons. I am a car dealer and I sell foreign cars for a living. They have yet to make a non luxury brand tourer with a ride quality and creature comforts as the pacifica. Toyota just put out their overpriced offering but I will pass and keep my Pacifica until the end. As for the creaking noise, I have learned to make peace with it as you may also have to.
FAVORITE CAR
We have loved owning this vehicle since the day we bought it! I do not like driving in the snow/slush, but have felt very safe in the Pacifica AWD. It handles VERY VERY good in the snow! We've replaced the brakes once on it at about 60K miles. It does burn a little oil at times - but not too bad that it worries us. The headlights have gone out once on each side. Otherwise, there are no problems with it. We love how it handles & drives & would recommend it to anyone!
Found a new favorite!
I have finally found a new favorite car. I bought it used, with less than 100,000 miles and only one owner. It looks and feels nearly new. It handles well, with the basic outward size and feel as a large sedan, but the internal size is spacious and comfortable. Plenty of room for family and cargo. I truly love the style and comfort of this vehicle. It looks both classy and sporty. It is as comfortable as any luxury auto. And has the space of a mini van. I have found the perfect vehicle only to learn that 2008 will be its last year.
