Great Car but concerned about MPG

Returned 2005 Touring edition lease and got 2008 Touring Signature Series. Lease price less for much better vehicle - now have leather heated seats, rear back up camera, dual DVD system. remote start, navigation with Sirius Satellite for 1 year and many more great features. Only concern is the MPG. Last van did 16/17 mpg around town, now getting between 9 and 12 - HELP! Hope this improves. Went on 80 mile road trip to try to improve but the best was 14 mpg. Had slight problem with dual DVD but dealership is replacing. Overall love this vehicle, better bang for buck. Just hope MPG improve.

Brake/Rotor Overhaul at 26K!! HORRIBLE

First of all, I only leased my MV because my baby, my beautiful 204 baby blue Pacifica, was totaled in a front end collision. Everyone walked away from that with only minor aches and pains - a true testament to the early models of the Pacificas. We went to the same dealership that we bought the Pacifica, only to learn that the Pacificas were being discontinued. So we leased the T&C van instead. I have 26k miles and have to replace FOUR rotors and FOUR brakes, for over $700. On a leased car. Still under warranty. I thought the rotors were included between the bumpers, but apparently not in this universe. AVOID AT ALL COST.

Averaging 11 mpgs in this van

Within 2 years & less than 16,000 miles, i have had A/C problems 2x, sliding door issues, 3 tires w/leaks, battery needed to be replaced (i wound up paying a shop after a dealership said it would take them a week), glitches in entertainment system & braking! Chrysler fixed some (i still have A/C & and tire problems which i hope they will address) but gas mileage has also been horrific. Driving on highway I manage to get 16 & I am not a fast driver; I also do not idle the car, but barely get 11 driving locally. it is big and boxy, which some might like; we did good use of the DVDs after the repair software, but I still have to turn the engine off on sometimes to get it to work. 3rd is decent.

I bought this mini van for my wife and 4 kids. It has the 3.3L V6 that is a TOTAL FRIGGEN DOG!!!! The real problem is the STUPID "fly by wire" throttle, if you mash the accelerator to the floor it only limps along and will NOT open up the throttle to 100%. I consider this a HUGE safety hazard. If you drive in heavy traffic you DO NOT WANT THE 3.3 L V6. It does not have the power to get out into traffic and up to speed in time to keep from getting run down by other traffic. Other than that, it's a mini van. I drove it from Illinois to Arizona, then up through Utah to Colorado and back to Illinois with the wife, 5 kids, and luggage on board. It was crammed but comfortable.
