Too many issues for a new vehicle
There are some common issues with the Pacificas that Chrysler doesn't seem to want to fix. The transmissions are absolutely horrible. Hard shifts, jerking, failure to shift gears when needed, etc... These are known issues that Chrysler doesn't seem to be able to fix. A brand new Pacifica rides like a log truck sometimes. The engines appear to be very fragile. There are numerous reports of head gasket issues, camshaft issues, cylinder issues, etc... All of these are MAJOR issues that cost big money. Typically these issues start showing up around 50,000-70,000 miles. I have heard of way too many engine replacements on these vans and unfortunately many of them are out of warranty. The worst part about the Pacificas though has to be the Chrysler dealerships. They don't seem to be equipped to work on these vans at all. I am not sure where the breakdown is, but these vans are sitting for weeks and weeks at a time why the dealership tries to figure out what is going on. I don't think Chrysler has properly trained their technicians on how to diagnose and repair these vehicles. Bottom line, I would avoid these vans. While they look nice and could be an amazing product, right now they are just lipstick on a pig.

From young to old
At being at the age of liking comfort over looks and this van has it all. Meets the needs of a family even when everyone is involved. Actually the more the merrier when it comes to this vehicle.

Better than an SUV or pickup!
I love the looks, comfort, seats store below the floor, tons of room, handling(FWD), features,and the quality. Great for families, moving stuff, taking bicycles, camping and so much more. And I am single so no baby seats in back! Limited with the 20” tire S package is the nicest way to order!.

Hated almost everything
Our rental car has 47K on it. There is a noise that erupts under the passenger side several times in a trip. The navigation using your smart phone is glitching all the time. My phone was not the main source for using Wyze but it kept doing weird things to my phone. I could not turn my Bluetooth off before it turned right back on. During this glitch my husband's phone could not work properly to get our route it also routinely chose a different sate to drive to then the one we selected. We got in a lot of fights saying each of use was poking it in wrong when the one entering it saw the address was correct only to give a wrong route. The back passenger sliding doors would not close unless the people up front poked the button or someone outside pressed the button. If you want to fold seats down or pull them up the seats in front of it must be shoved forward. The one chance I drove it, the brakes were impossible to get used to. There is a daily to use to put your car in park, drive, reverse.... what lunatic came up with this. I had to look 5 minutes in the dark for the shifter. We had to travel with our cat. He hates his carrier and wants to be on your lap. We learned from our own vehicles he is heavy enough to lower an electric window. It ticks me off to no end there are no window locks for the front passenger window. I had to stay on my guard with the window button. The drivers side window constantly fogged up from the air conditioner. There was no way to remove the humidity from the car. The window was nearly impossible to see out of on hot humid days. The first time I needed to drop the passenger window it went down. I wanted to put it up and when I pulled up to make it go up it went down further. A couple times it didn't move at all. The button placement to shut the back hatch has a stupid placement as well. There is nothing friendly about this vehicle. I can't wait to dump this frustrating piece of technological garbage off. One of my friends drove a Crysler several years ago. I hated that van the few times I rode in it. Next discovery is my husband thought it was a hybrid because the engine ran so rough when you sat still then engaged the engine. It is apparently not a hybrid and apparently just wants to die during idling. My husband hates the side mirrors. The blind spots on the van nearly got him in an accident. What is with the stupid alarms as well when a car returns in front of you but you get a little close and in bold on the screen it shows BRAKE followed by insane alarms. Nothing like scaring the crap out of the diver and the spouse.

Liftgate in a garage
There no adjustment height for the back liftgate. So when we open it in our garage it bangs the opened garage door. And it doesn't hit the door and stop. It comes back down. We would not have bought this car if we had known we can't even open it in our garage. I called Chrysler Canada to ask is there a modification l could do and they seemed dismissive and said no.
