So I have been car shopping for some time. My 2003 Honda Odyssey finally took its last breaths (oh how I loved my Honda) . So while driving by a Used Nissan I was interested in I laid my eyes on her! The Pacifica, I test drove , got my hubby and FIL to come check it out. Everything looked great, interior was nice and polished looking. The engine and tranny sounded strong. I went home and started to do research. I was appalled by the many negative reviews. I looked at all the negative, positive and most helpful reviews. We took a look under the car and there was no rust. I ran a car fax and just knew this was no lemon. Well maintained and cared for by 2 main owners. Then sat for a while. I decided that for the price (1800) it was a steal plus it only had 157k miles. I have had it a week almost. So far we have enjoyed the car. It needs an oil change , lower driver side control arm , a engine dip stick and hood opener. So far I have put in about 400$. Which is till great 👍. Not too bad. Most people tend to forget these are older cars and not all will sound and run new. They had some hiccups in the beginning that seem to have been handled. I see so many Pacifica’s with over 200k miles and going! I’m happy with my purchase and will update. So we got rid of the 05 due to bad k frame and got a 2008 Pacifica and am still in love. Nice modern features for an 08. Rear parking assist still works like a dream. Solid 1 owner car! 140k and we put in 728 and runs like a dream ❤️.

Based on the looks compared to mini-van and suv options, my wife chose a red Pacifica Touring with 3.5L engine for our family car purchase in Spring 2005. We have owned the vehicle since new (now has 76000 mi), experiencing a few problems including 1) tie rod end replacement, 2) motor mounts twice, 3) blower motor (under warranty), 4) egr valve cleanout at 70,000 (relatively normal for many cars). Can't say I'm happy about making ANY repairs on a vehicle this new ... but in retrospect ... total repair over 6 years ownership is less than $2500. Yes, I too have experience the oil consumption issue. Using Shell Rotella-T 5W40 oil (1 qt consumed/3000 is ok for me).

Worst vehicle I EVER had!!! I bought this used with only 132k miles on it and I had many of the FAMOUS problems you will find all over place going wrong with this Pacifica. Within the 4 months of having it the everything went dead, the ac, the windows, the radio.... try being in Florida driving down the road to the shop in 90 degree weather and can’t roll down the window O_o yeah it was BAAAAAD.... after some short research online I was able to figure out it was a bad ground wire... then not long after, it gets stuck in park!!! I found the part online and fixed that myself (it’s actually pretty easy) there’s a simple YouTube video and I’m a 35yr old female so if I can do it you can too! But that’s beside the point... THEEEEN... about 3 weeks after that the engine blew up so it really didn’t matter if I got the stupid thing out of park or not. I will never EVER buy another Chrysler for as long as I live. Friends don’t let friends buy Chrysler’s!!! Don’t do it!! You will very much regret it and I will not pick you up on the side of the road because I told you so!!!
Great Car

I really enjoy driving this car. It's a little hard on the pocketbook for the gas but I feel extremely safe in it. It's great in the snow and I have no problems going up steep hills.
most wonderful car
