Used 2018 Chrysler Pacifica Consumer Reviews
24,000 miles and still love it!
With over 24,000 miles and after a year and half, we couldn't be more pleased with our 2018 Pacifica Touring L Plus. This is our fifth Chrysler minivan over the last 30 years and the best by far. Love the quiet ride and almost European-like handling. Excellent gas mileage. We have the Sto 'N Go seats folded down for our two dogs' kennels (side by side behind front seats; can easily get dogs out using sliding doors). Ours has Advanced Safety Tech package with adaptive cruise control, 360 degree birds eye camera, rain sensing wipers, auto high beams and more. Love how oil filter is on top of the engine. I use a vacuum oil extractor (suction tube goes down dipstick hole), so changing the engine oil and filter can all be done without having to crawl under the vehicle. Highly recommend avoid buying any Pacifica that does not have the Advanced Safety Tech option. Despite buying the lifetime warranty (no longer available from Chrysler), we have not had to take it in once for warranty work. Yet!! If the used Pacifica you are considering has been sitting on the lot for a few weeks, it would be best to replace both the main and auxiliary batteries. Many of the minor electrical gremlins in these vehicles can be traced back to batteries that have not been regularly charged to keep their voltage up.
Meh
Loved at first site but then it let me down. Brought it in numerous times and the problem can never be “verified” or “duplicated”. Stalls after starting and then cranks when trying to restart. Key fob won’t unlock door when I’m standing by it and holding the handle. DVD player goes black randomly and can’t control on front monitor because it gets locked out. Burnt odor at time from heated steering wheel or driver seat. Automatic Sliding door won’t operate and needs to be forced open at times. Drives terrible in any inclement weather (rain or snow). Problem after problem. Some problems have recalls but only for specific vans. Mine is not one but clearly has these issues. Fix it!!!

Great Minivan
After 1 year we’ve put on 10,000 miles. Have had no problems and love this car as much as we did a year ago. I just love driving this car for the quietness and smooth handling. All the safety tech is great. The hide away seats are the greatest for quick flexibility for our 3 dogs and 7 grandchildren. So easy to reconfigure the seating. Would never go back to not being able to stow the seats. Decided to upgrade from our very reliable 2006 Kia Sedona. After reading all the reviews and awards this van has won decided to give Chrysler another chance after having a 1989 Plymouth Voyager piece of junk. This is a beautiful car in everyway. We got the tech package with all the safety enhancements ie adaptive cruise, lane change warning, blind spot warning etc. Its a whole new world from our 2006 Kia. The fold and stow 2nd row seats are so convenient, heated steering wheel and front and second row seats, sunroof, trim interior is very attractive Rich Brown with black flooring. Great for our 3 dogs. We bought a 2018 used that was a rental for 1 year. Has 29000 miles but saved almost 35% from buying new. Bought extended warranty just to be sure everything is covered for next 6 yrs or 103,000 miles. So far we love it in everyway, but only had it for 3 weeks. Very happy with the upgrade. Only thing this doesn't have is the entertainment package, but we're retired and would never use it.

Three year of use and still fantastic
I have driven this van for over three years and have 75,000 miles on it, with almost no service problems. The auto stop/start battery had to be replaced. I find the stow & Go extremely useful and all the safety features work great. I love the head light auto dimmer, adaptive cruse control, the blind spot monitor, apple play and many other features. The 3.6 engine still runs great and The van handles fantastic. I highly recommend this mini-van and you must have the stow & Go seats. The car battery also had to be replaced at 60,000 miles and the tires at just over 60,000 mile. The van has been excellent. When I replace this van I will consider Pacifica hybrid or the AWD version

Nothing but issues!
We’ve had it in and out of the shop for various manufacturer recalls. It also sit incredibly low to the ground and I’ve done significant damage to it from hitting road debre. It does not hold its value well at all so now we are upside down in the value and I want nothing more than to get rid of it!! Worst new vehicle I’ve ever owned in my 37 years.
