On a hot, 93 degree day, my on-board computer indicated 35 mpg highway!! I purposely drove between 55 and 60 mph as a test to see what it would do. We drive lots of highway miles daily and the gas mileage is consistently over 30 mpg during the simmer months here in New England. Driving tip: when using speed control: click "cancel" when driving down a fairly steep hill and the van will increase speed to optimize gas mileage. Otherwise, the van will actually brake to hold the selected speed, thus very slightly decreasing mileage. The seats are too firm, Chrysler needs to soften them up a little, yet the design fits the body well like a good fitting shoe. We looked at all minivans and a Subaru Outback and found that their seats are even stiffer (awful), Subaru being the worst. The "Unconnect" system works well except for one major flaw. The recorded music I ripped from my CD's to a USB drive does NOT appear in proper sequence. It becomes scrambled. Same with my USB movies. However, when I play the same USB drive in my 2023 Genesis G80, the music list appears in perfect order. I searched numerous Unconnect forums and discovered this to be a universal problem that cannot be fixed. With 50,000 plus miles and five years ownership, I plan to buy another Pacifica. After extensively researching the Pacifica plug-in hybrid to further optimize my gas mileage, I think I'll stick with the front-wheel drive gas version. The Hybrid version appears to have too many issues and a history of reliability problems. According to "Consumer's Report", one out of five have problems. That is totally unacceptable, especially for a $60,000 vehicle. Scary to think the van could stop running on a busy highway where we spend most of our time driving. Another van-buying tip: Chrysler is the ONLY mini-van that has kept a DVD/CD player in addition to multiple USB outlets, TWO movie screens, a 110/115 volt house-current outlet, 12 volt outlet (for our mini-fridge). The Toyota Sienna's video screen does NOT have the capability of mirroring my Android phone where my wife can watch streaming services like NETFLEX, ACORN, BRITBOX, etc. The Pacifica does have "mirroring". The Chrysler Pacifica has it all and I highly recommend this vehicle to anyone who has a growing family and especially for retired senior citizens. Buying an SUV (because you like the looks) is like buying an abbreviated mini-van. I've seen young growing families trade down from a mini-van to a smaller SUV (Subaru & Honda) and then attach a roof luggage carrier. Meanwhile their kids have grown to be six-footers and they gave up all of that mini-van space. They end up stuffing their kids into this SUV which looks like a golf ball.

Great van. The days of affordable vehicles are over. The days of minimal electronics and manual controls are over. The standard model has way more bells and whistles than I would ever choose to have on a vehicle. The auto manufacturers leave us no otherchoices. I have owed a Plymouth Grand Voyager, Dodge Grand Caravan, Chrysler Town & Country and now the Pacifica. I feel the Town and Country power train was smoother than the Pacifica. The shifting is a bit clunky at times and throttle response is sub par. It has a nice ride quality and is very comfortable. I hope this rig lasts as long as it's predecessors. I feel the Pacifica was the best over all mini van choice vs the competition. The mid seats that are stow n go have a terrible headrest release system. There is a weak point that connects the latch to the headrest. It's going to break if you use the stow n go. They should be ashamed of the failure rate and repair cost. $150 for the entire headrest and dealer install cost to repair a .10 cent piece of plastic. I just repaired my father in laws headrest on the passenger side. I plan to make a metal replacement part for that plastic bit. Same design for years with no changes from them. Google it. Pacifica stow n go headrest failure.

the keyless starter system is the worst. 2 days after i bought the 2024 van it would not start as the system did not shut off but went to accessory.no one at the dealership mentioned that you had to be careful and double check to make sure that the van shut off. on a trip after driving all day and checking into a hotel the van ran all night and burned up a half tank of gas. aaa informed me that they had been on more than a dozen calls with the same problem and that you had to be sure the light over park went off. started on a trip to mich. 28 miles east of flagstaff the alternator belt broke and got chewed up cooking the alternator and battery and the harmonic balancer (whatever that is) had it towed back to flagstaff and the dealer was closed. it took 8 days to get the van back which caused me to miss the events i was going to see. drove home and the next day the van wouldn't start. Obviously i forgot to check the light. also the gps has never worked properly as it cuts off just when you need it.

28K miles and Failing

Lots of Problems with a vehicle that only has 28K miles on it. The Digital display at the steering wheel goes blank by itself, so you have no fuel gauge. The vehicle does not start 50 percent of the time. The center information screen goes blank and sometimes does not function. The brake indicator has a mind of its own. The shift indicator switch goes dead, so you have no idea what gear you are in. If the display at the the steering wheel goes blank, you have no way to know what gear you are in either! Various warning messages just randomly pop up on display. Stay away from this Van. Brake warning light kept intermittently going on and off and engine started over heating! This brand new vehicle is a true piece of crap! No longer have this vehicle.
