My entertainment system has never worked on my 2022 pacifica. Lots of online forums with unhappy customers with same issue. We're commonly told by the dealers "we cannot repair, it's a Chrysler software issue IN WORK"....6 months later still waiting. Until all the bugs are worked out, I don't recommend purchasing a partially operating Pacifica.

bought this 22 Pacifica in 6 of 2022. Before we drove off the lot we had issues with the stereo not connecting to Bluetooth and freezing. They noted this and we left. The stereo continued to freeze, glitch, lock us out of it with no rear climate control options. We took it to the dealer 3 times for this issue and finally after 10 days in the shop they determined it needed a new stereo. That was 10/2022. This still hasn’t been fixed. 8/2022 we took it in as the front doors were both sagging and had to go to the body shop to be realigned. 8/2022 sliding doors work 50% of the time. 8/2022 ceiling vent fell out hitting my daughter. 9/2022 noticed an annoying rattle in the dash, and back hatch began slamming when closing. The dealer couldn’t find the rattle and said they ordered the strut for the rear door as they believe it has failed. (Still not repaired) 9/2022 with about 7,000 miles I noticed a vibration in the brake pedal, almost like the rotors were warped. Took it in, tech couldn’t simulate the problem, told it was nothing. 1/23 the brakes got bad. Horrible vibration. I called the dealership to set up and appointment. When I got home from the grocery store my brakes were on FIRE! I had Chrysler tow it to the dealer. (13,000 miles) To add the last nail in the coffin, the dealer called me the next day and told me the vehicle was side swiped in the back lot. 🫣 As of 11/2022 I had an attorney start a lemon case against Chrysler, to this day 1/2023 they still haven’t responded. I am beyond frustrated. I can’t even put my family back into that vehicle. That’s a major safety concern, what does Chrysler do? Absolutely nothing. I know I’m not alone, they are hiding the real numbers.

Fire Risk

We have had so many issues with this minivan. Since purchasing we have needed to be towed twice because the computer detected an issue with the hybrid battery. After having the hybrid battery replaced (which required us to go 2 weeks without the vehicle), now we have had 2 separate recalls due to a fire risk. The latest still has no fix, so we are unable to plug in the vehicle or park it near buildings or other cars. This recall has been open for more than two months now with no update from Chrysler. Stay away from this vehicle!

Amazing minivan

We purchased our Pacifica Hybrid Limited in February. With 3400miles on the odometer it typically shows 65mpg. This is because 80% of our daily use involves round trips under 50 miles. On long trips with no electric charge it gets around 33mpg. When it sees only electric recharge use it shows around 85mpg, but that is a conversion due to the cost of electric. I calculated the cost of driving this vehicle with 80% electric and 20% gas. For me, it’s around 4.5cents per mile which is about 1/4 the cost of a gas minivan.

Batter AND gas tank issues

I will begin by saying that I really want to love my minivan. I love the look of it and I love the features. But I cannot stand Chrysler and we have had one issue after another. For the last eight months the battery has been under recall. We were never informed by Chrysler that our battery was a fire hazard. I learned myself by seeing an article online. At the time I had spoken with the dealership and had the car in several times, as we were currently experiencing major gas tank issues. No one ever mentioned the recall. With gas prices what they were this summer, having a “hybrid vehicle” where the company was asking you not to use the hybrid feature was infuriating. For the last ten months our car has been having issues with the gas tank sensor. We can add about 50 cents of gas at a time, with the tank constantly sending the signal the tank is full, no matter how empty. Sometimes the pressure builds up to where the gas just shoots back out at you. We have had it in the dealership at least eight times with three attempts at fixing it. It’s still broken. The gas tank button doesn’t work either. So this summer we were left with a hybrid car that would barely take on gas, but also might start on fire if you plug it in. Great! After eight months of this, last month Chrysler finally called and offered me a $250 gift card. It would be available in a few days. I thought to myself “that’s the least they could do!” Shocker. The gift card never arrived. After calling every day for weeks, I finally received a call back telling me there is “a glitch in the system“ and the card will eventually come, though they couldn’t/wouldn’t give me any timeline. After everything we have been through with this vehicle, it was the icing on the cake and beyond insulting to be offered such a measly amount of money and then have the money never arrive. Stay away from this company. Their customer service is horrible. They are doing absolutely nothing to solve these issues. I finally received a letter in the mail sharing the February recall and informing me that there was a fix available. If I had not found the article myself, I would have been driving around this entire time never knowing that my battery was at risk of fire. I love the look of this car and I wanted this to be a vehicle that lasted us through the years. Unfortunately it has been nothing but trouble.

Had to replace both Batteries

Car doesn't have 7000 miles yet and this car already had so many problems, i had to replace both Batteries before the car even had 5000 miles which I paid out of pocket since the avrage time to get an appointment at a Chrysler service center was between 1 to 2 months and the Batteries were completely dead. transmission is horrible, jerking, hard shifts, failure to shift gears when needed, etc. The suspension is horrible when I drive on the slightest bump or pothole you feel like sitting in a loose box of matches, evrything is shaking

Love the room the drive from Ontario to Florida proved to be comfortable and problem free. AC worked great heating worked great. handles in the snow very well and in the heat. Really put to the test and was just pure pleasure to drive everywhere with it. so pleased with every aspect of the vehicle. If this lasts like our Caravan 13 years and 286,000 km really problem free and still 7000 at trade in. Very pleased with Chrysler It’s now March 2025 and still absolutely LOVE the Pacifica

2023 Chrysler Pacifica Limited AWD

This vehicle is overall a solid minivan choice... esp in black with the S-Appearance package... The Limited version took 2.5 months to be delivered from a custom order... with several disappointing omissions with the 2023 Limited... 1. no space saver spare, 2. no tire sealant kit, 3. no power to the third row seating!!! My 2019 Pacifica Limited offered all of the above. Otherwise... a super minivan... a Dad Van!

What an incredible van. Chrysler did everything right. Hybrid technology is super slick. No passenger has been able to feel the transmission shift! No one believes it’s a Chrysler! Love the ride. Not one single problem. Grandkids love the DVD player. Mileage is incredible. Interior is huge. I drop the third seats and put a huge crate in for my German Shepard. I love my van!
