The 4.0L motor and the auto 6 speed transmission actually belongs to Mercedes. So is the load leveling suspension.

I believe you are mistaken. The 4.0L is a modified 3.5L HO. The 6 speed Automatic is made by Borg Warner. The Load leveling suspension in not unique to MB.
Many Jeep salespersons told buyers that a Jeep Liberty CRD (diesel) was made by MB, which was a huge blunder. Some myths start out of honest intentions, but in reality stories turn out to be untrue.

I think that most car salesmen have an advanced degree in BS.

I have found that it pays to talk to the sales manager first. Ask him what sales person does not have a high pressure pitch. He may well give you what you did not want, but the sales manager will tell him don't push. I have bought my last four vehicles from the same salesman. He is about 30ish. He listens to what I want, and follows my wishes and direction. The dealership is not a high pressure place and there are none of this going from the sales person to the after market person and then to the extended warranty person and then to finance. Two persons that is it. So maybe you live where they use high pressure BS tactics, try a place in a smaller town, often theycan beat the city guys.

My Horrifica has beensitting since May 27 when the arbitrator decided that Chrysler should buy it back. First they could not come up with the correct papers. Next they came up with a form that I signed giving me the Friends and Family discount. I never saw this form again until about aweek ago. Someone had added or deducted, as the case may be, $2.700.00 in negative equity. The balance due on my PT was $10,000 and that is what the gave me for the trade. No one seems to be able to explain where the negative equity showed up. In Ohio there is a section that you have to sign acknowledging the negative equity. It was not filled out and I did not sign it. I think that someone at the dealership pocketed $2,700 which I never would have known about if I had not won my arbitraion.

pacifica 2007

I am new to the site but for the last 2 days have read everyones issues. Yes, I have a 2007 Pacifica with all the same proplems. I purchased mine in May, with 30,000 miles as a Chrysler program car. I had the same shutter, lagging and shifting issues, very annoying!! I am returning my pacifica to the chrysler dealer for the 3rd time. They have replaced my TC and several motor mounts, and reprogramed the computer. I must say the shutter totally stopped, but the shifting is horrible. I love my car and want to keep it. I am taking it back this weekend for another follow up. I am not sure of the last program code but will mention the 21-010-08 that seems to have helped others. In earlier talk, someone mentioned an additive that helped the transmission, did anyone try this. It was my understanding it could void the warranty, but was it helpful? Can anyone give me solutions they found helpful that I can mention to my dealer, other than a buy back. Is there anyone happy with their repaired 2007 Pacifica?

If an additive is added, let the dealer do it and have them document it so that you do not void the warranty. The sad fact is, I do not believe that Chrysler knows how to fix these cars. I though that mine might just be the last car I would ever buy. It is still sitting with 5000 miles waiting for Chrysler to come up with the money to buy it back.
