I heard that the last Pacifica was built in November, and that's it. It's discontinued, so they won't build it anymore. Is this true ? It sounds unbelievable.

No discount can justify buying a discontinued Chrysler. The resale values will be close to zero. As far as I am concerned, I will drive this one to ground, but never buy another Chrysler again. If everybody would do the same thing, Cerberus wouldn't be able to make Chrysler profitable. Even if they cut the expenses in half, but the revenue drops to zero, they obviously won't be profitable. It's not financially wise to piss off your customers. Cerberus doesn't know that ?!? Adios |

I don't think so... Seems to me that Pacifica's will be produced through the end of the 08' model year.

We bought a 2006 touring edition, front wheel drive, back in May. It was used, about 23,000 mi on it. We recently discovered our first real complaint about the vehicle. We live in Wisconsin and a month ago we started getting our snows that stick around, real storms, etc. We've found that our pacifica will NOT go up the slight incline to our house with the road is snow-covered or slightly icy. Every other front wheel drive vehicle we've ever had made this little hill no problem. But the Pacifica...no way! We are forced to go round the block and up a steeper hill that is just gravel, for the extra traction the gravel provides, and even sometimes that isn't cutting it. With 2 young children, groceries & all that, we do not want to be stuck at the bottom of the hill. We went to the dealership and they just looked at the tires & said "they have plenty of traction" and acted like they had no clue why the car won't go up this hill other than (I quote) "It's winter...things are slick out there!" How rude! We know that, we've lived in the Midwest our whole lives! That was a very annoying and thoughless answer! We want to know if anybody else had encountered this trouble and if so, what did you do about it? Different tires (we have the Michelins)? Is it a flaw in the vehicle's weight distribution? Any ideas would help. If we can't find a conclusion to this, we might sell it even at a loss. It's NO good to us if we can't go up a little hill, for crying out loud! |

Replying to: cherylnfred (Dec 29, 2007 7:40 am) I have a couple of suggestions: 1. Your Pacifica is equppied with an AutoStick function. The next time you are about to go up your snowy driveway, pull your shift lever back into AutoStick. A "1" will show up on your dash light rather than the normal "D" that you see when you are in Drive. Now before you attempt to go up the drive, bump the AutoStick to the right once to get a "2" to show up on the dash light. Then gently apply the gas and see if this helps. 2. If that does not help, I would suggest that you purchase a set of four snow tires to use in the winter. If you don't want the hassle of taking the all season tires off of your alloy rims, you can buy a set of steel rims to mount your snow tires on. Good luck!
