Used 2004 Chrysler Pacifica Wagon Consumer Reviews
I was scared, but I bought it
I was not too happy with long list of recall items on the website for the 2004 models, so I searched other types of vehicles and noted they too had a long list. I had the car fully check before I made a final commitment. And after purchasing the Pacifica, I really love it. It's fun to drive, and doesn't feel like a mini van. There is lots of run for the kids, I'm tall and both my sons are tall. It's good on gas, and look really nice. I'm totally happy.
Wondering about reliability
We got the full featured model with DVD changer, etc. It's an excellent balance between SUV solidity and the handling of a car. We've had some mechanical problems though. The brake rotors were warped, and when the rear windows are open an obnoxious ear-deafening vibrating sound can be heard. Visibility is really bad with the small rear view window. Our driver side mirror makes clicking noise and has limited mobility; this was reported to dealer mechanic, but they didn't do anything. The tire sensors continuously go off--it's very hard to keep the air balanced accordingly. Avoid dealer mechanics at all costs-- boy do they rip you off! I only get 19 MPG--which is much lower than sticker

Luv my Pacifica
I bought this car brand spanking new in July of 2004. I fell in love with it right off the get, did research for over a year and still came back to this one. It has 93,000 miles on it, I drive a lot, beautiful ride and comfort. Had a few problems, same as some noise and squeaking and clunk front end. Original brakes had them checked several times. So far so good, right now having issue with stalling, surging, ran codes and found nothing so far so keep"n fingers crossed. But all in all I love it. Going on a long trip this vehicle is like riding on a cloud, such comfort. I knew when I bought it about the gas so I can't complain on that. Its held up nicely so far. Also have a sebring. 2001
Big Mistake
I bought this car against my better judgment. I did some research, and found most of the reviews to be negative. I've had to replace the blower module, both headlamps. The heater controls never seem to work right. It burns a quart of oil in between oil changes,and the front end makes all kinds of noises when turning. By far the worst car I've ever owned.
04 Pacifica
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.
