Used 2017 Chrysler Pacifica Consumer Reviews
No repair by dealer so traded van. No buy Pacifica
We had a Pacifica van and had a slamming in transmission hitch progressed to more frequently. After having van in shop 5 times and they could not find anything we traded it in. Have girlfriend who also had transmission stop working during snowy season and they were trapped on freeway with children inside. We took van to dealer multiple times and of course their line was we put it on the machine shows nothing. I asked them to drive it and they said they found nothing. There is documented transmission issues with this van. Unfortunately we traded it in to buy a more reliable vehicle. Plelase read reviews before purchasing this beautiful van.

Great van. However Uconnect is a nightmare
We moved up from a Town & Country to a Touring L Plus. So many things have been improved. However the Uconnect is so bad I can’t believe they would release the system at all. Not fix for it. Software update is coming?? Whatever that means. You know you have a hardware issue when a software fix takes so long. No apple car play. I would wait for the 2018.

Test drove Limited edition
I have 2011 Toyota Sienna, its 5.5 years old and has done 68000 miles, so I decided to buy another mini van, since Toyota sienna has planned to release their next model in spring 2017 and Odyssey is planning to release their next model by the end of this year, I decided the new Pacifica limited edition because of the hype that I have seen in the ads. This van looks good from front and kind of OK from rear ( rear is little bit shorter looking). The interior has a good speedometer display and I liked the in seat built entertainment system ( has 1 behind the diver seat and 1 behind the passenger seat). The second/third row seats are thin when compared to front seats and that over all looks weird. The storage cabinet between the diver seat and passenger seat are poorly made of cheap plastic and does not compare to the quality and storage capacity of sienna. The drive it self was very average when compared to my 5 year old seinna. We were waiting for a green signal , when the engine vibration was passed on to the van and the entire van started vibrating, my wife and I thought that the sales rep was shaking his leg but he wasn't. This van is no match for the quality of Toyota or Honda's. Consumer report even doubts the reliability of Chrysler brands and I completely agree with them. Other tactics these dealers use is, they will advertise a very low priced deal ( saying "get your internet price", this vehicle was $48000 and was listed for $41650), I went to the dealer in schaumburg, IL and asked about it and they said that vehicle was sold out??? Sold out in middle of the night? Beware buyers. Quality absolutely sucks. It all looks good on TV, but test drive it for at least a few miles before you commit to buy.

Not designed for tall drivers?
What were the designers thinking? I went to try out the Pacifica based on reviews. Adjusted seat and steering wheel but could not get into the van without undue difficulty as too low and cramped. Could not fit comfortably in front seat, roof too low, controls not placed correctly. Rear vision impeded by pillars and obstructions. Vehicle ground clearance is too low and long overhang beyond front wheels (not good for places that have a lot of rain/runoff.) Immediately tried out Dodge Grand Caravan. No problems with ingress or egress. Could adjust controls perfectly. Had several inches headroom. With rear seat/ headrests folded, had no problems with rear visibility. Conclusion - The Pacifica designers were all short people or maybe they only feel short people would buy one? . My sister-in-laws' husband had the exact same experience in another city/dealer and he is shorter/larger than I am (I am 6'2''.) Why design a minivan only for shorter people????

2017 Chrysler Pacifica has 3 flaws
The digital speedometer and computer screen are very difficult to see, read during afternoon sunlight. The transmission has lots of play when put in, out of park. The driver's and passenger seat are too far away from the door entry. It takes long legs, a big step from the ground outside to get into the seats.
