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.

We are very pleased with our Pacifica Touring AWD ! We have almost 21,000 miles and we bought it Aug 31, 07. Yes we too had the trans. shifting hard and the shuddering problems. We has the TC replaced in Dec. 07. Until the March 08 reflash came out the shudder was still there. After the march 08 reflash there has not been any shudder issue. They did replace the park brake cables in may. We consider this the best of any vehicle we have ever owned. Too bad Chrysler stopped making the Pacifica this last May or Jume, 2008 was the last. The 07 Touring has more extra nice things than the 08, so be pleased with your 07. I hope you got the Lifetime Powertrain Warranty. The Chrysler Service Contract (warrnaty) is well worth it, at least we think so.
RTemember with any complaint you read there is always tow sides to every story. But you can't hear Chryslers side.
This is our 17 Chrysler made vehicle and with the exception of a 1996 Dodge caravan and a 2005 Jeep Liberty Diesel, whic both vehicles Chrysler totally replaced for almost nothing we have always been pleased. Hope this helps.

rhollis: I really have empathy for your situation. There is something very wrong! I would be willing to see what I can find out through a friend who works at Chrysler in the dept. that deals with some of this stuff, but i would need your VIN #. I f you want I will give it a try.
But please, some of us are very pleased with our Pac's and got our transmissions fixed and works well for us. I really think you have hold of a dealer who just could care less, and is making it as difficult as they can.
