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. farout |

Replying to: rhollis (Jul 25, 2008 3:19 am) 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. farout

Replying to: farout (Jul 26, 2008 7:00 pm) I bought my Pacifica thinking that it was the last car I would buy. I like the looks, comfort, handling, but not the problems with my particular car. It amaze me that Chrysler has no idea how to fix it. I have been buying Chryslers for years. I currently have a 1979 Plymouth Power Wagon with 1579 miles on it. It has been used solely for snow plowing so the body is pretty much shot and only the rear brakes work. It has never licensed. I also have a 1998 Sebring Convertible, a 2006 T&C, and a 1995 Dakota. None of this, and the fact that my family has owned something like 25 Chrysler products since 1989 makes any difference. I wrote to the Vice President of North American Sales and the answer that I got was some woman on the phone who said, Chrysler isn't going to do anything. How's that for good PR? |

I am seeking assistance in understanding on how to proceed with the buyback process. THe net is my car was purchased new 11/30/07 and currently has 7771 miles on it. I have had it in the shop 4 times...the third time the TC was replaced, last week i brought it back again and they did another repogram and put an additive in trannnsmission, and i am still getting the shudder. I looked at lemon law booklet and am writing a letter to submit...however if someone has other experiences/ advice i would appreciate it.

Replying to: klutke (Jul 31, 2008 6:48 am) I have given several instructions about how to get a buy back, as I have had two in 17 Chrysler vehicles in the last 25 years. The last one was in April 2007 Chrysler bought my 2005 Jeep Liberty Diesel. It was in the shop 25 times in 14 months. Chrysler has been more than fair to everyone whom has followed my advice. DO NOT START A LEMON LAW repoet until you have given Chrysler a chance to make you pleased. There are some on this forum who have gone and done it their own way and only wound up with anger and waitingesults. So answermy questions and lets see where you are now. Give me the TSB numbers they dis, and you can tell us what dealer you have used, but no phone numbers are allowed on this forum. You did get the Lifetime powertrain warranty right? farout

Replying to: farout (Aug 01, 2008 6:26 pm) So far my Pac is 14,000 miles and honestly don’t like any other Chrysler but the Pac and I don’t want to go back to town and country I already had three and all of them great cars. If I change mine will be for other Pacifica 08 Regards. |

Ok, well after taking my wife 07 pac with 34000 mi to a local chrysler dealer for the 9th time and getting other things fixed besides what needed to be fixed i drove about a half hr away to a different dealer. After driving with them they were able to pinpoint the problem. It was the torque converter. When looking at the papers that would inform you of a bad torque converter I was floored. Chrysler had it on there web to show how the car would act if this was a problem I hope this will help someone. The maachanic said this is mostly found in the 07 or 08 due to a cheaper quality that they put in the pac. So they are ordering a new 06 tc that they say never had problems because it was made with better materials.

I'm new to the discussion, and have had very similar problems with my 07 Pacific. The specifics: Touring AWD 6 Speed Auto Transmission 4.0 Liter V6 SOHC Took delivery March 2007 and transmission problems were apparent within a few weeks. Harsh shifting, shutter etc. The car has been "serviced" three times since then. The first time they: (Per their invoice) "OPCODE 21000405 - Transaxle - Remove and install 62TE 4.0 Liter engine" "1 68003520AB CONVERTER" "1 WR7353ate CONVERTER" "6 68026608AA FLUID FC: PART#: 6800352AB "21330150 TORQUE CONVERTER 3547 WC" The situation seemed resolved at first, but came back but in lower gears only. Took the car back six months later. They road tested but "....did not duplicate customer condition..." Over the next several months I made mental notes of when and in what conditions the problem would come up. I noticed the car needed to be running for a while before the issue started again. I especially noticed it in extended stop and go traffic on the Interstate. There was pronounced harsh up and down shifting from first gear to second gear. None of the other gears have a problem. The third time (This past May) I had the service manager get in the car with me, and though the symptoms were not as severe, he agreed and on the work order wrote: "A C/S TRANSMISSION HAS HARSH ENGAGEMENT 1 -2 GEAR SHIFTING" "CAUSE: FLASH" "18190640 Module, Powertrain Control (PMC) - Reprogram Module, Powertrain Control (PMC) Reprogram (B) (B) At the bottom of the work order "roadtested car flashed pcm to update software. It is now August, I have 6000 miles left on the warranty and the problem has returned. I'm going to give it another shot, and would appreciate any suggestions from my fellow sufferers. One of the postings asked for a VIN number. I'd be happy to share it if you think it would help. Look forward to your comments. Huf
