140000 Miles and going strong...
I have owned 19 cars this is one of the best reliable suv ever no major problems just replace front shocks etc...and yes 140k on it...
Excellent Choice
I traded in a 2000 Dodge Sedan for the roomier Touring FWD in Magnesium. I shopped minivans and SUVs--needing a 3rd row for people and space for cargo hauling--and found this the better choice. I'm extremely pleased with the 07's power, handling, ride and features. So far fuel mileage has exceeded my expectations for the 4.0 with 6 speed. No less than 19.6 mpg in mixed town and highway and a high of 24 on the Interstate at um "good" speeds. Dealer experience was one of the best in memory as was the value. I recommend you consider the Pacifica.

Third year of enjoyment
Having purchased our Pacifica as it came off a Chrysler lease in 2009, we could not be happier with the performance, handling and comfort that we enjoy. Our Pacifica is the W.P. Chrysler Signature Series, and this mean upgraded leather, radio and other features that make this an enjoyable vehicle. The interior is a dream. The Navigation is in the center of the speedometer and is simular to heads up displays. The capability to handle 7 (that is right 7) DVD's between the radio and the external changer makes long trip with Grandkids actually fun. The four captain chairs (all heated with individual controls) are extremely comfortable. Toad trips of 6 to 7 hours are not unheard.
Like riding on a cloud...
I have a back problem and was looking for a car with a smooth ride and I got it in my '07 Pacifica. Wonderful ride, feel very safe, beautiful on the outside, get lots of compliments, reliable and the best vehicle I've owned. Easy to get in and out of, tons of storage and great features. What more could anyone want?
100000 miles without a problem
The car purchased new in 2007. It has 100000 miles, no repairs, original brakes, upholstery shows no wear. No repairs, only regular maintenance costs.

Underrated Performer poor MPG - in City
This car is extremely comfortable. The six speed transmission gives decent highway mileage. We have seen some minor reliability issues. The axle seal on the transmission was leaking and that was covered under warranty. There were also some paint cracks on the hood which is made of plastic and that was also repaired by warranty. I found a cracked / chipped brake caliper on my car at 60,000 miles. The part was available as an aftermarket part for $40 with a return of the core. We upgraded to drilled / slotted rotors on the front wheels and that enhanced braking. The temperature control system is sweet and the driver seat is VERY adjustable. The power is adequate. Traction control GREAT!
WOW!!!! What A Difference
I turned in my 2005 AWD Touring Sedan and picked up my 2007 Signature Series Pacifica. I cannot believe they are the same car. The 05 was nice, but seemed to labor until tou got her up to cruising speed. This one, got to be careful or a ticket may be in my future. New engine is very quie. Love all the extras, GPS and the back up camera and warning system. LOVE THIS CAR! Dealership is excellent also. This is car # 12 from them.
Quality Good, Gas Mileage Not
My 2007 Pacifica has the best fit and finish I have ever seen in any Chrysler product. It is also very comfortable, performs well, and has a great ride. It handles very well for a vehicle its weight. However, if you buy one and you believe you are going to get the EPA rated 16 city 24 highway mileage, you are dreaming! I don't know whether Chrysler has to provide certified results regarding the EPA numbers, but if they do, they are "fudging" big time. 13-14 city and 18-19 highway is more like it.
My 07 Pacifica was screaming for me to sit in it.
Once i did, it was over. This is my first and newest vehicle I have ever owned. When I peeped inside I immediately saw the 3rd row seat! I got in and loved the look and feel. As a grandmother of 3 and 1 child, the 3rd row was perfect. As a person that likes to travel 12-14 hours to my second home, again perfect. The vehicle is roomy, all controls are placed where easy to get to. I love the arm rest as well. The instrument panel is very attractive. I love the lights. My side mirrors do something crazy (but I love it) when dark. Never seen such a thing on a vehicle! The rearview mirror is the same. Oh, can't forget about the memory seat positions. I love that. I can hit #2 and the seat moves back so I can get out easy (I'm close cause I'm short). Then one day I noticed that when I open the door, the seat automatically goes to position #1. Me. I put it on the road about 45 minutes east of my home and the ride was so smooth. I also love, although didn't know how to work it before hand, the shifter is pretty cool. Overall, I love this vehicle and wish this one had been available when I made my first purchase of a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe. I feel like I am riding in luxury.

Under Rated Over Performer
This car is great. We had a killer winter in New England last year and we had a set of Goodyear snow tires installed and with 4 wd this was a cacoon against anything that winter threw at us. Braking and confort are out standing. We had one mechanical problem with a transmission axel seal that was repaired under warranty. The car is quiet and the six speed transmission is very smooth on acceleration but sometimes get confused on quick stops or when doing a rolling stop when the light changes before a complete stop. It clucks and Chrysler flased the transmission which has improved shifting. The 4.0 L motor is a gem and works well on regular gas (89 octane is suggested). 5 star crash rating!!!!
Couldn't be any more pleased!
Purchased from Carmax with 17,000 miles on it, in 2009. I honestly couldn't have asked for a better vehicle. It's been mechanically sound, offers plenty of interior room, is comfortable to drive, is extremely practical, and has just been a great car. Because of that, I've owned it much longer than I would have any other, and have delayed a new purchase because of my happiness with this vehicle. The only challenge I've had is regarding the heating & air conditioning, and it's stumped the mechanic, but it's always been fixed. I actually figured out the problem recently, and replaced the ac blower motor and resistor, and it's as good as new. Love, love love this vehicle, and so wish they made the new Pacifica with similar body style, comparatively speaking. The new model is essentially a minivan, and who wants a minivan...

Roomy, Classy, and Fun to drive
Just purchased a new 2007 Pacifica and it drives like a car, but feels like your sitting in a studio condo =) Gas mileage is average for this vehicle, but the 250 HP engine makes up for it. We have taken our Pacifica to Canada and back on many occasions, and all around its a comfy ride, very spacious, and my son loves it!! I would recommend the AWD touring edition for snow dwellers.
Great used buy...if you're a grease monkey
Let's first all agree that cars are built to break. Every car is going to have problems and failures...it's how much you enjoy driving the car and how practical it is for your particular needs that makes a car worth it. That being said...I love driving the pacifica. It rides great. It's quiet. It's loaded with features. It's safe. It's big enough to haul to 2 kids also. I've had to replace the usual Chrysler culprits like suspension bushings and motor mounts. The regular maintenance of the car (oil,brakes,transmission fluid) are all on par if not above par with every other car I've owned.
07 Chrysler Pacifica touring
The interior is really nice.The 4.0L engine is powerfull maybe a little to much. These cars have a few issues. The tansmission shifts hard. Motor and transmission mounts go bad and the afteraftermarket ones don't last so you have to buy them from a chrysler dealer around $200 each list price. Egr valve goes out on these too. Front control arm bushings fail, front swaybar bushings wear out and cause clunking in front end. Around 150000 miles the radiator and a/c condensor failed. We liked the car but to many repairs are needed.

Great car, going to miss it
This car saved my wife and daughter in a high speed side impact. Our 2007 was a nice vehicle, rode great and we put over 60,000 miles on it between early 2007 and Jan. 4th 2010. We have 3 kids and with a roof bag, we vacationed and drove in style and comfort all over. Problems were limited to a few warning lights which the dealer promptly fixed. We liked the way it drove and the space. The look was "spot-on" for us too. Power was good, fuel economy was fine but not great, and shifting was a little odd sometimes but not bothersome (some people over-react to that). We were so impressed by it's safety and features - we bought another 2007 Limited used one to replace it.
The Pacifica was under-rated!
I owned a 2007 Pacifica Touring FWD for 4 years and generally loved the car. It had adequate power, had an extremely comfortable ride and a huge cargo area when the 2nd row seats were lowered. The handling was excellent and the fuel mileage was adequate for the 6 cylinder engine.
2nd pac awd
This is the 2nd awd. The touring awd was almost mechanically perfect, only real problem, too slow. Brakes were warped by 34,000. 07 ltd awd is really a fast auto. A great improvement. Trans. seems confused at times. Will wait on the 6spd and new engine review. 05 was using a lot of oil?? at the end.Changed it at 3000, went to 6000. and it was down 2 qts at the end? 1 of, If not our best cars still.
Think Twice
One week after purchasing my 2007 Pacifica we had to have the drive train replaced. A while later it was lunging forward and jerking at times when accelerating. Dealer could not find anything wrong. Took it back several times before they finally found the problem. It has been in for transmission repairs 4 times. Last week when I went to take my kids to school, it would not move. The emergency brake spring broke and shot through my rear brake. ABS light and traction control problems are constant! Look up complaints on the Pacifica and you will find out a lot. I would never purchase a Chrysler vehicle again. I do not feel like my family is safe in this car.
Signature Series rocks
This is my second Pacifica and its much much better than the 2004 version with more power and the rear camera group help with backing up greatly and Navigation package really attractive. Marine Blue is great and they have thought of everything. Crash tests and roll over 5 of 5, not too many SUV can say that. The all speed traction control and ESP are standard as well
Stumped by my Pacifica
I have owned the car since 2008 and have loved it up until now. When if start out in the morning in the subdivision, and I am going 20 mph or less, it stalls out on me. Once I turn the car back on it is just fine. I have taken it into the Chrysler dealership twice and they can't fix it. Don't know if this has ever happened to anyone else but I hope you found a solution.

Love My SUV/CAR
The pacifica is NOT a car and is NOT an suv.....and definitely is NOT A MINI VAN....if anything at all it leans more towards a luxury suv. I LOVE IT!!!
Great car so far
We bought ours just before we started our family. We've now had it for 2 1/2 years and it's only been back to the dealership for free car washes. (Knock on wood.) Lots of room for 4. Very back seat small. Nice riding. Easily the fanciest car we've owned. After safety, reliability is the #1 concern for me. This car has been tremendous in that department. Nothing but oil changes for the first 30 months. Gas mileage isn't great but it is big and safe. The FWD does sometimes make me feel like I am holding on to the steering wheel for dear life, esp. when accelerating quickly while turning. I am sorry to those who have had trouble but I just haven't had one issue.
Front end Quality is terrible...Tie Rods ends
I looked at the Pacifica for 2 years before buying it in 2007. I currently have 52,000 miles on it, well under the national average. I have been replacing tie rod ends approx. every 10,000 miles. I have replaced a total of 7 in 45,000 miles. I am not on my 2nd coolant leak. I have had a shack in the frontend ever since I put new tires on, which one was bulged and needed to go back to replace it. Dash lights have burnt out and need replacing. I can't even image what I would be feeling if I hadn't have gotten the 7 year/70,000 warranty at $100 deductible!!! It's up in June...Think I'll be getting my a Ford or Chevy!!
Perfect Family Vehicle
Very comfortable, leather seats, 3rd row seats, cargo room and more! I love my Pacifica but am ready to get a smaller vehicle since we're done with car seats and kids are older.

Fun to Drive
My new Pacifica and I'm loving it, handles great and have nothing bad to say about it. Lot of room and very comfortable. Still discovering all the new gadgets that are now standard with this model.
Spot on
First new car and I feel very fortunate. We owned a Honda Accord and it was constantly having transmission problems. Chrysler had the lifetime engine/transmission warranty and I jumped. Not a single problem that wasn't fixed within seconds at the dealership or under recall. The torque converter needed adjusting and thats it. 44,000 miles and no problems. I live in los angeles and the driving can be dangerous so the high marks on safety are a plus.
They Get it Right Then Kill It
The first thing that struck us about this car is the styling. Although they built it in their minivan plant, it is a much better looking car. The updates for 2007 are a must have. The 6 speed transmission is giving us around 17 mpg in mixed city and highway driving. We see better than 22 if highway speeds are kept at a reasonable level. I agree that the more powerful motor and extra two gears in the transmission help the car to be quick off the line but it is also one of the most relaxed highway cruisers that we have ever driven. The crash ratings are unmatched in its class. The seats are very comfortable and the dual zone climate with rear heat control means that everyone is comfortable.
Superb all around
Got rid of my 2000 Honda Accord LX, 3 transmissions in 64,000 miles nothing but stress. I was very interested in buying Chrysler because of the power train warranty. I have not needed it because the Pacifica has been perfect. Driven it to Bend, Portland, New Mexico, Texas, Santa Barbara, San Diego and many other trips between. 38,000 miles already in 2 years and I have no worries. It is a great looking car in addition. Everywhere I go someone mentions how they like the design. Cadillac and Toyota liked it so much they copied it. I added a roof rack and a trailer hitch for the gear and bicycles for the longer jaunts where the Pacifica shines due to its comfort. Keeping this car forever.
I'm mystified
The title of my comments says it all. I don't understand why these didn't sell well. I know Chrysler didn't market them well but I've had an S class Mercedes, a 540 BMW and 40 other cars and this is my favorite. It is great on fuel if you consider it's 2 1/2 tons and gets 30+ mpg on the highway and about 20 in the city. I've just finished a trip to New England and the miles are effortless and I'm over 60 years old! I'd recommend one to anyone.
After four months
Still love the vehicle. We had to get use to the color (Marine Blue Pearlcoat) but after a while it grows on you. The interior is very comfortable. The sound system is good and the DVD entertainment is very clear. With the 255 horsepower engine and a 4500 lb vehicle, the gas mileage is something that we will accept and live with. Overall, I wish I had bought one sooner. Ours came off of a Chrysler lease with 20,155 miles, remaining factory warranty and a 80,000 mile 6 year power train coverage.
Don't Waste Your Money
I have had my Pacifica for 2 years now and the gas tank has been completely replaced twice and still doesn't work properly. It takes 10-15 minutes to pump $20 of gas. Chrysler says there is no recall for this, only a "technical flag." I do love the interior of this vehicle. It's very spacious and super comfortable. Six adults can ride and have plenty of room. The seats fold down and make it easy to haul all kinds of things, big and small. It drives very well. Smooth riding for all passengers. I would love to keep it longer if my gas tank worked. I am trading it in for a Ford. (The only company that didn't take my taxpayer dollars and still showed profit!)
Owner
Super vehicle - Roomy, comfortable, quick, great look in and out. Very reliable.
First Lemon I've ever had
The complete buying experience was awful. Problems right from the start between the transmission, front end, reversing, AWD. It was endless and the dealerships were not helpful in the least. Currently involved in Lemon law case with vehicle.
'07 PAC just bought
I have just aquired an 07 Pacifica with 29k miles. Off lease, this is a super clean car. comfor level is great. . .headroom is wonderful, easy in/out for us old timers. I am pleased, perhaps paid a littl too much but love love love the car.
Best value
59,980 miles and not a single problem. $17 oil changes at the dealer and lifetime powertrain waranty. Compare even the oil changes to local Honda dealer at $39.99 and over a few years it will add up. I think a lot of the Pacifica owners are having issues with the 4 speed and the 3.5 liter. The 6 speed and the 4.0 have been flawless. Comfort is excellent as are the looks. Bought the car brand new and havn't had one regret. Probably buy another one soon, buick is getting old and I looked at the price of a 2008 Toyota Sienna $29,000, when a 2008 Pacifica is going for $13,000 with the same miles. No brainer.
"My Pacifica"
This is my second Pacifica and I am totally happy with it so far. I just returned from an almost 4000 mile trip and the performance was great. It is a totally comfortable car and I am proud to own it.
Excellent "Sports Tourer"
Owned the Pacifica for a while now, and still love it! Wanted the base model so we would only have two rows of seats. Engine performance is very good for only 200hp and a 4,400lb curb weight. Really powerful around town, breaks the front tires loose easily. Passing power (45-70) isn't that great, but not too bad. Handles curves very well considering larger size. Surprisingly, its a very good tow vehicle. Hardly can tell the trailer 2,000lb trailer is back there. Interior has held up well, but the seats get dirty very easily. Regardless, interior is beautiful and well put together. Love the sleek exterior, the car gets many compliments. I average 22mpg. Around 18 in the city, 25 on the highway.
So Far So Good
Just purchased a Base Pacifica, I am a traveling sales representative. It is nice to have room for samples and golf clubs. I put over 1,000 miles my first week and so far I like it. I hope it proves to be a reliable vehicle. The only complaint thus far is the large blind spots but the big mirrors help a little. William
A real surprise
I bought this car at the Chrysler dealership in Tupelo, MS so a road trip was in order just to get home. The ride was extremely comfortable for the 3.5 hour trip. The average gas mileage (Most of trip driven between 70~75mph) was 23.8 mpg. Second trip to In-Laws resulted in as average gas mileage of 24 mpg. This particular car came off of a Chrysler Lease and had 20,137 mile on it. The fit and finish in this car are excellent and road noise is only moderate (belief that this is due to the type of tires). Power is very good, and transmission shifts cleanly. The car came with about 90% of all options and we had the Factory DVD installed. Since we have had it, two road trips - No issues
Very Happy with Purchase - Find - Price
I have always liked the Pacifica style since it came out. I wasn't really in the purchase mode, but drove by the dealership and saw 3 new/used Pacificas on the lot. The gas prices were close to $4.00 a gal. & the price of full size autos were going down. Driving it easy, with the 6 speed transmission, I was getting 19.8 in town, and 29.9 on the highway. It rides so smooth, and the performance is unbelievable! It is totally state of art. Load leveling, traction control, ABS, anti-out of control feature? Over 250 HP. 3500 towing tounge wt. I love my Pacifica. I plan on keeping it for a long time. Again, due to gas price, I got a very good deal. monthly payment is $350. I have the FWD, not AWD.
Keep building them. improve MARKETING
I bought this car after testing it in Canada for two weeks under severe weather conditions. It is the best overall car that I have owned so far. My friends and myself don't understand why Chrysler's new owners want to stop production. I think they don't know how to market the good product they make and they haven't listen to us their customers.
Nice to drive!
This is the most comfortable car I have ever owned. It has plenty of room and it handles great. I was concerned about gas mileage. The city mileage isn't great when my wife drives it but seems to be better when I drive. Highway is excelent. I have gotten over 29 mpg at 70 miles an hour. 26 to 27 is more typical though.
What Problems????
I have owned my Pacifica for almost two years and it has never had to go back to the dealer. I give it regular maintenance and it drives like a dream. I use the car for everything and I average about 22 mpg (Not too many long hauls in Hawaii). It gets up to speed quickly and stops quickly and straight. I have experienced the chatter of the trans between 1st and 2nd and 2nd and 1st at slow speed and that Chrysler "cure" was a flash to the engine computer. I have not taken it to the dealer as I don't want it to end up worse than it started. I have not had the opportunity to speak to other owners as Pacifica's are not that prevalent here.
Biggest Lemon I've ever owned
I bought my 07 Pacifica in 2014 with 43,000 miles on it ,In 6 yrs. I have put over 7,000.$ in repairs. Broken motor mounts, struts, air conditioner,front end work, leaking rear differential, the list goes on. Now at 114,000 miles my transmission is going out ,cruising at 60 BOOM no go no more. They have many many problems.

Mostly dealer ignorance
Bought this car because I drove several test vehicles at work and was impressed. Tracked down an '07 (deals were sweet with employee price + rebate). Found an AWD Touring with the NAV package. Drove great for about 40 miles, then the suspension clunking started and the water pouring in through the rear roof at the first hard rainfall. The list goes on. Dealer resolved the leak (missing gasket on the roof antenna) and the other defects. The bad ball joint sound is still present and both dealers (went in 7 times in 2 months) say that it's a "normal" sound. I wonder why the 5 I drove at work didn't do that. Dealer says it's annoying but they all do it. Crappy uncaring dealers.
DO NOT BUY
This car has been nothing but problems. Since I have bought this car in o7 it has been in the shop over 20 times. They keep finding problems but then the big problem keeps happening. When accelerating we lose all power and the car shakes uncontrollably. It has had flight recorders installed and still nothing. Still trying to resolve the issue however the dealership stinks. We have already sued Chrysler and have settled. I would never purchase a Chrysler again. Thinking about selling which will result in us losing money
Update
I am a traveling Sales Rep and have put 30,000 miles on my Pacifica since 10/09. I still like the interior and ride. It does on ocasion groan in the driver side front end when I turn right. The tranmission on ocasion shifts hard. Other than those two issues has been a slightly above average car. Thanks! William
Best in Quality
Well really like my pacifica i gotta say its the most reliable car and it has a lot of luxury
07 changes!
I just leased my second Pacifica and Chrysler made all the changes that the car need over the 05 model. Bigger engine, back up camera and just a few nice features to make a great car even better!! The lease programs on this car are the best out there! I am driving a $41,000 dollar car for under $600 a month on a two year lease! 15k per year and no money down. This deal cannot be beat! This is a lot of car!
I love my Chrysler Pacifica
It's all about the quiet ride and luxury amenities... It's like almost driving a Benz, believe me i can tell..I just Love it
