Used 2004 Chrysler Pacifica Fwd 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 4A) Consumer Reviews
Pacifica at one year
Car handles fine---gas mileage leaves a little to be desired (13 and 21) versus same engine in previous car (300M) at 17 and 24. Outside plastic discoloration needs to be addressed by factory. Back bumper easily reflects bumps (creases) and its costly to replace.
Very dissapointed!
I was shopping for a new SUV and looked everywhere for great price. Well finally found it and this crossover has been horrible for us. First thing wrong 4 days after buying it car shuts down on expressway no reason, next oil leaking, next starts making clapping noise, next starts kicking back while driving as if changing gears! Next had to have pulley tensioner replaced now making horrible noise that wont go away, now alternator is failing! What else can go wrong, this was supposed to be my dream car n turns out to be a nightmare!

Like my Pacifica
I have owned my Pacifica for 4 weeks and so far I have only good things to say about my car. The radio controls are a bit fussy but that's just a litle thing. The drive is solid with a good feel for the road but not stiff or rigid. It sits up a little higher than a sedan but not too high. At 5' tall being comfortable behind the wheel in very important. The adjustable pedals, seat and steering column make that a non-issue. The third row seats are not made just for children. They are roomy and comfortable for adults as well. Overall, probably the nicest car I've owned and that includes an Acura.
better than expected
after 2 lexus rx 300s traded for pacifica and could'nt more pleased with the car.
This car is destroying my savings!!!
Purchased this car with 50k miles on it. Since purchase is has been to the dealer for a total of about 3 weeks. We had to rebuild the first motor, then replace it 6 months later. Had to replace the intake manifold, motor mounts 3 separate times. If it can break it will. It now sits in a parking lot awaiting a tow due to it stalling while idling through the lot. Cant get rid of this thing because its a chrysler and its worthless to the dealerships, 9k dollars upside down in the loan due to lousy blue book value.
Red Pacifica
We drove a number of these before we bought one and loved the way they road. However this one after we bought it seemed to ride rougher than the others. It seems to shake back and forth when going down streets at 35 to 4o mph. Highway driving is great.
Moving up in the world
We just bought it this month, so we really do not have a long term experience with it. We feel we got an excellent deal compared to looking at a new one. The vehicle rides and drives very nice. I doesn't feel as Chrysler as previous Chrysler vehicles I have owned. It could use some more power, but for what we use it for it is great. I have faster, more powerful vehicles for that.
Couldn't be happier
I was hestiant to even look at the Pacifica, but I'm glad I did. This has been the perfect family car for my wife and I. It performs great going through the city and was outstanding on a long road trip for Thanksgiving. We also appreciate the memory seating given the 10" height difference. Reliability for 10 months has also been a plus. Its only been back to the dealer for oil changes. Overall our only complaints are the window tint being too dark and rear window too small, making it hard to see out at the back night. My wife really wanted an XC90 until we compared the two. Our fully loaded Pacifica was still less than a base XC90 and we got more horsepower and better overall performance
Nice SUV, but...
At the very begining I relly like it, but at 6000 miles a noise either in the steering or front supension started and the dealer said they didn't find any noise the two times the vehicle was for service. Also at 6K miles a module for the power locks and windows stoped working.
Mostly love
The German infulence shows. The handling compares to BMW or Mercedes. Glad I bought the FWD rather than AWD. The gas mileage is better and managed our PA snow just fine. I wouldn't recommend it for a young family dealing with car seats or car pooling but it works well with my 11 and 13 year olds who want their own seats and contols.
