Re: Tire pressure on a 2006 [primetime2628] by b25nut

I get a high pressure alert whenever the tires go over about 45 psi on my 2004 AWD. I keep mine around 40 psi. Several times after standard service has been performed on my Pacifica, I have discovered that the mechanic put the pressure up to 44 psi. When I drove it through the desert, the high pressure alert came on. I would think that 60 psi on the spare would set off the alert. My original tires now have over 56,000 miles and may get almost 10,000 more.

Thank you, The door pressure is listed as 33psi which is a joke. That's what they set the calibration at. Therefore if it goes 510 or outside the 28-43psi reading the alarm comes on. The dealer told me it was minus 5 or plus 10 for the alarm. I've set mine at 36 but am still not happy with the ride. I think i'm going to buy a 300 style magnet and calibrate myself. My 19in Michelins have 45 as the max pressure. I'm wondering what the average setting should be.

I changed my tires at 69,000 and I run them at about 35psi. They still looked good for at least 5,000 more. I replaced them with the original spec. tires.

35psi may inprove tread life a little but how is the ride? I found the steering and cornering like driving through mud....very sluggish and non responsive.
My mpg also has gone up at least 3mpg since raising the pressure. I'm currently running about 38psi.

Actually its a little ROUGH at 35 psi with the 17" wheels but the handling is terrific so I don't mind the bumps. Highway driving pushes it up close to 40 anyway. I'm about ready to change my front brakes also since the mileage is now up to just under 80,000. Most maintenance free car I have owned.

Re: I'm Back!! To let you know of the stalling issue! [gruger] by gruger

Back again! The part change was the faulty secondary gas pump but they changed the primary pump too. For those who don't know the PAC comes with two gas tank and pumps. And it has been a source of a huge problem for owners like me.
NO payment was made, Chrysler will gladly pick up the tap I think!. I know the Dealer will not, thats for sure.
 
The Pac is too smooth running again.

I've the 19" so it's probably a little different.
I do like the handling at the higher pressures though.

Anyone with door/window problems in '05 PAC by steph88
Sep 25, 2006 (4:40 pm)
I leased my '05 August of last year. By the end of October I had had the car in the shop 6 days with multiple leaks which required (after I demanded) replacement of the entire carpet. Then in February my door locks and windows stopped working - I was told it was a cold weather issue and a "new" part would fix it. Then in May (well past cold weather) my doors and windows stopped working again. This time it was convenient to blame it on static. Yet another part was replaced. Then in July and again last month my car began stalling (what a shock) when making left turns. And then last week, guess what.... doors and windows stopped working again. Have issued Final Notice to Repair order to Chrysler and begun Lemon Law filings thru my State's Attorney General's office. I wouldn't recommend this car to anyone. It's an accident waiting to happen. I have two kids I commute with every day and my message center won't tell me if their doors are ajar, won't lock their doors for them and god forbid we are in an accident and the only way out is through an open window - we are all dead. Great job, Dr. Z.....

Engine RPM limiter by arrie
Sep 28, 2006 (12:37 pm)
Just noticed that my '06 Pacifica Signature Series engine rpm seems to be limited to 2500 rpm when gear shift is on Park or Neutral. It clearly cuts off at 2500 rpm when trying to rev it up on park.
 
When I put the gear shift to drive or autostick it revs up beyond 2500 rpm without any hesitation and the car drives just fine.
 
Anybody know if this is what it is supposed to do?
