Plenty of Room, Too many issues

This vehicle caught our eye immediately on the lot. We purchased it for the sole purpose of interior space and safety rating. With a very high safety rating and 3 rows of seats, this met our criteria. After about 2 years of enjoying the car in the summer time, we also came to the conclusion that we never should have purchased a non-AWD vehicle in Colorado Springs. This vehicle handles terribly on the snow. We had to buy winter tires just to get around. After 3 years, the problems started. Control Arm, in-dash computer, fuel gauge, struts, mounts, sway bar, etc.

Troublesome vehicle, lots of electrical problems, problems the dealer has not been able to fix. Have taken it in 4 times now. Engine is underpowered for and does not feel very refined. Seating is not as flexible as I was hoping. Enormous blind spots.

I've read the other reviews and I agree with the car having blind sides. We solved it with little oval mirrors stuck on sideview mirrors. We have actually done this to every car we've owned. My wifes pacifica has the electronic rear view mirror. If I get my own pacifica I will change that to a conventional day/night mirror.It is hard to see at night when backing up,esp with tinted windows.I would probably install back up camera. I don't think they are that costly anymore.I would love to have an Escalade or a Navigator but they are lousy on gas. The Pacifica is at least 6 mpg better and has the room I need for my 2 very large dogs.

Piece of Junk

This is the worst car I have ever owned. To say that I hate it is an understatement. There is ZERO visibility in the rear. It makes lots of mystery noises that several mechanics cannot place. The gas consumption is horrible. I'm looking to trade it in but the money offered is not good. I can't even give away this piece of junk. Don't think about getting one!

Never buy one

At first great auto. After owning for 2 years the black roof trim attachment points broke on both sides, dash panel in front of dash cracked and now the worst transmission failure. I never had a trans failure in any one of my cars. 2 Olds 442, 1 69 Hurst/Olds, 1972 Volvo 242, 2 Volvo 740 GLE, Dodge W250 Cummins Diesel, trans in it is weak. Borge Warner should have done a far better job. The Pacifica is in my words is not an dependable vehicle. Intake manifold is open at both ends, this allows mice to live between the V of the engine block, causing a chewing off the anti-knock sensor wire. Had it done, job performed by myself, not trusting ASE certified mechanics and the shop/dealer.

I've had my Pacifica for less than two months now and so far I've had it in the shop 5 times and going for #6. The concept behind the Pacifica is very good however the build quality on this vehicle is horrible. The drivers side floor board is always wet due to a leak that they can't seem to find. I've also had a computer system go bad and it just went out again yesterday and now there is a clunk in the rear when you go over bumps. I couldn't pass up the lease special on this car, that's why I bought it. I can't wait until my lease is up. It fits my family's needs very well however It should be parked in my driveway all the time and not the dealership.

Too Bad

I purchased my Pacifica used in Feb 09 with less than 60K miles. It is a super comfortable and roomy car. I like the way it handles & love the captains seats in the 1st & 2nd row & that there are vents in every row. Less than 20 days later it needs a motor mount broke. Took it back for the repair to find the part is on forever back order. I found one due to my own persistance. It is now June (not even 4 months since I bought the car) and it needs ANOTHER new motor mount, new tie-rods, sway arm bushings, blah blah! I haven't had it 6 months and I am trading it in. It's too bad it has so many problems, I would love it! But I can't afford to rent a car every other month for weeks on end.

The car drives OK except for the noise. I have three kids and it has to be loud for me to hear in the car. There is a sever flapping noise at 60- 70MPH under the hood. As it turns out it is the fender wells are not secured and flapping around. They tried to fix... still trying. If you roll down one rear window the buffeting noise is at the threshold of pain. Is sounds like the wheel is comming off.

Blind Spots

Looking out the rear window or rear side windows while backing up was made difficult because of the size and location of the rear corner panels and window divider panels. The rear window cannot be fully washed using the standard window squichie because the top trim piece sticks out too far.
