Message #1881 was created in 2004 when we didn't implement a maximum time of 30 minutes to delete posts. It's entirely possible the poster deleted this post himself.

Power shortage by manningb

Hi,
I recently purchased a 2005 Pacifica and notice that the power outlet in the front and the middle sections are not working. I checked fuse#26 and there was non in place. Replace fuse and still nothing. Also, the former owner had a DVD and monitor install and these do not work either.. no power. I think the problem is related. Any ideas.

hmmm... well, its tough because you have no idea what the installers could have done. I would suggest to first check ALL the fuses. If they are all ok, my suspicion is that an auxiliary fuse has been installed somewhere.

Thinking of '04 Pacifica by dburcham

Im am considering purchasing an '04 Pacifica to replace my '03 Seabring.
 
The Seabring is a hunk of junk, looks nice but now it isnt even running. It only has 60k on it & to boot i drive about once a week. Previously a toyota owner i am not impressed with my American car experience so far.
 
I am seeing mixed reviews on the Pacifica.
 
Can anyone let me know if I should still consider or am I wasting my time with Chrysler?

I do not know about the 04's but we have a 07 AWD Touring. So far it is the best built vehicle we have had. The ride is smooth as glass, and fuel is 21 to 24.3 mpg.
    I would have it checked out with a Chrysler dealer, and if you can get a warranty for it.
   The Pacifica is in it's last year of production so maybe that will give you some advantage.

We purchased 04 used and extended warranty, which I recommend, if you get from dealer and mileage is not too high, as you will need it. We have had alot of little things go out on the car that adds up to alot of $$. Some covered under warranty some not. Any Chrysler product is "junk" as far as I am concerned. I tried to steer my wife away from it, but she had to have it, now she wishes she would have never purchased it. I have 95 Maxima with over 300K miles, never been in shop except for oil/brakes/tires. The Pacifica has been to the shop 6-8 times in 2 years costing us over 1800.00 that warranty didn't cover.
 
You might get lucky and get a good one, then again you may not. That is the problem with US built cars, depends on the moods of the over paid union employees that day that determines the type of car you may get.

I felt in fairness you needed to get a different view. With Chrysler Service Contracts there are several levels of protection from the basic powertrain, to the Max Care that is a bumper to bumper warranty. Each of us buys the extended warranty we think best fits our needs and potential for needed problems that might come up. Like all insurance you are betting that something will go wrong or by taking a lesser warranty, that not much or nothing will go wrong with the vehicle. ALL VEHICLE MAKERS OFFER THESE KIND OF EXTENDED WARRANTIES.
    Personally I usually get the top of the line warranty and out of 13 new Chrysler vehicles I have used the free rental while its being serviced on all of the 13 vehicles, and about four times the warranty paid for itself. The Max Care Lifetime Warranty on our 07 Pacifica AWD Touring cost $2,730. NO one forces a warranty on you it is soley up to you.
   It is my opinion that perhaps "tigwlan" should have considered purchasing a warranty with better coverage. Often when we wish we had made a better choice, we take our frustration out on the maker of the brand of vehicle that we feel did no measure up to what we expected.
   As I stated IF you can purchase a extended Chrysler Service Contract with the Pacifica, I think it would be a good buy, if everything else meets you needs and requirements.
  No matter what brand of vehicle my advice is buy that brands of extended warranty. For me if there is a lemon in a lot of 100 used cars I would most likely select the lemon, so I protect myself as much as possible, and I have not been left angry with the vehicle or the brand. I am a solid Chrysler made vehicle buyer, and I have found Chrysler easy to work with under most all conditions.
    I hope this gives you more of an expanded vision of what you can do to make sure you select the most trouble free vehicle you can purchase. Good luck.
