well, if it fills all of your needs and wants, as I've said before, i think its a great vehicle.
 
If I had it to do again, though, I'd just get the FWD. Far better gas mileage and acceleration.
 
There are other vehicles I would get instead, personally, but my wife wanted 3 rows and not a minivan, so that restricts the choices quite a bit.

I'm so sorry. My clunking seems a lot less important now. That sounds like a very dangerous safety issue. Were I you, I would call Chrysler customer service and file a claim with NHTSA.
 
In my experience, Chrysler gets on the ball when you bring up safety.

Sounds like your power steering pump is failing or you are very low on power steering fluid.

It fit more of my needs than any other car on the market considering all things but I will not go foward with what may appear to be a flaky vehicle.
 
Which vehicles were you considering along with the Pacifica and which did your wife prefer? I was considering the Toyota Sienna and Honda Odyssey but... it's a minivan, not that cool. I also considered the Chevy trailblazer and GMC Envoy but the appearance of the dash electronics sucks incredibly compared to the Pacifica. I also didn't want to sit high up in vehicle, yet wanted something more than my current mercury sable wagon.
 
For the last few weeks I've been going between the Pacifica and the Sienna. No the clunking and engine/motor issues I read a heardd about on the Pacifica are forcing me to reconsider again, and the I hear the Sienna's safety isn't great at all (I need to do some research on that) plus I don't want to spend over $25k on a minivan. I'd rather spend that on a Pacifica.
 
I don't know what to do. I might just go with a Toyota Camry and keep my wagon. I'm tired.

Go for the Pacifica. I feel you only have a 1% chance of being disappointed.

Don't forget how many satisfied owners out there enjoying a trouble-free PAC. I have a clunking issue but from what I mentioned before 1 out of 9 hears the noise. Other than that I love the car. I have put 16k on it and it still drive same way the first day I bought it. The way I see it, Every car will have some/minor problems.
