Leased a '06 Touring AWD in June. Now have 4100 miles on it. Traded in a 2003 Explorer and I couldn't be happier. Only issue is that my blower motor for the rear air conditioner went out, but that was replaced by the dealer. On my wish list is the 5 speed tranny from my Explorer and maybe another 25-50 horses under the hood

Buffeting with back windows down by primetime2628

There is a HUGE air pressure fluctuation when driving abouve 45mph with one back window down. I went to buy the wind guards for the windows but thought they looked goofy. I did put the sunroof shade on. Hopefully this will help with the problem. It actually talks about this problem in the manual and says to adjust the window......Design flaw

1-year update by qbrozen

Well, I'm not a "new owner" anymore, but I'm not sure what other discussion to post this in.
 
anyway, my accord was in for service yesterday, so I was in the Pacifica for my commute. It is a very rare opportunity when I get to drive the vehicle without the family on-board. Anyway, I just want to ask ... does it get better with age, or is it just my imagination?
 
It really seems like, at 15k miles, its now hitting its stride and feeling nice and 'broken in.' It feels quicker and more nimble than ever. Our mileage, however, is still hovering around 18 mpg in mixed driving, so that hasn't picked up too much. Although it is still better than when it was new.
 
anyway, its a real pleasure to drive sometimes. Granted, I like sporty cars and driving pretty fast, so its not something I'd like as my daily driver, but its a nice change of pace to get into the Pacifica and have a smooth, quiet, and comfortable drive.

Yes, I guess you could call it a design flaw. Its a flaw that has been repeated in every single SUV I've ever owned, beginning with my 1987 4runner.

My Pacifica definitely got better with age. I think the transmission is programed to learn your driving habits and adjust accordingly. 18 mpg in mixed driving seems to be the best you will get if you, like me, drive 70-75 mph and are "aggressive" when you accelerate.

yup. 70-75 is about right. I wouldn't say terribly aggressive when accelerating. My wife complains if I break 5000 rpms.

2007 Pacifica Touring Signature Series by stephen

I just ordered a new signature series, which comes pretty well loaded. Sunroof is extra, and I did not order that. Will I be sorry at trade-in time? I hate sunroofs, but I notice that every Pacifica Signature available at dealers in Michigan has a sunroof, $800 extra.

My Pacifica is AWFUL! by drfill

Hello everyone! I bought a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica on March of 2006. Ever since then, money has been pouring out of my pocket taking it to the dealer far away from where I live. This car has been taken to the dealer for about 4-6 times over the last 6 months. This is unbelievable, from the engine stalling twice, all electrical issues are shut off from the car, both headlights defective, the right axle came lose while driving, and now a tire pressure sensor that keeps blinking. This is UNBELIEVABLE. I did not drive this car for the last three weeks since im scared something will happen. What can I do since the dealers dont car and are lazy. I dont want this car at all and i have until march 2007 for the three year warranty to expire. Should I call chrysler aagain and threaten to sue them to replace my vehicle or what should i do? I love the pacifica so much but all these problems now make me HATE chrysler. Please help since i am worried about my car. Thank you very much.

I PURCHASED A 2004 PACIFICA AT THE END OF JUNE OF 2006 FROM SPARTANBURG DODGE IN SPARTANBURG SC AND THEY AND THEIR SERVICE DEPARTMENT ARE AWFUL AND I DON'T SEE HOW THEY EVER RECIEVED A FIVE STAR RATING!!!!! MY CAR HAS BEEN IN THE SHOP SEVEN TIMES FOR STALLING AND AN AWFUL POPPING NOISE AND TRANSMISSION PROBLEMS AND THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT TAKE ACCOUNT OF THE FEACT THAT THEY SOLD US A LEMON AND THEY HAVEN'T FIXED THE PROBLEM AFTER ALL THE TIMES THEY DON'T KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH IT. SO WE ARE GONNA HAVE TO SUE THEM I GUESS TO GET THIS TAKEN CARE OF.
