Replying to: rhollis (Oct 16, 2008 6:53 am) They make an attempt to repair my car again at the beginning the car felt better but after few hundred of miles is start to do the same, shuddering between 40-50 miles per hour and 60-70 Mph always under 2000 Rpm, also when you start from 0 to 10 and then brake to complete stop the first gear comes back like 3 or 4 seconds after the car has stopped like something hit you from behind, I called Chrysler again and told them that I don't want that car any more this car has been put apart so many timesthey have changed several things and I feel not comfortable with that, every time I see missing screws or tie the cables properly, last time they broke the inner boot from the axle when they disasamble the transmission and they replaced it with a re manufactured one,for me is not acceptable any more . Chrysler called me and let me know that I have to drop the car Dec 1st at 8.30 am because the technician is comming, I don't know if to try to fix it or just to replace it I was seeing a 2008 Pac I drove it and seems to drive better i tried to make it to do the fault but was fine, do you think that it would be good idea to change it for one I can get one signature series with all the options for $25,000 with 0 miles seems good price I paid for mine $32,000 and has not nav or back up camera but I don't know because is a car that is not comming for 2009. your advice is welcome.

Replying to: faschulz (Oct 29, 2008 6:09 am) faschulz: The last Pacifica rolled off the assembly line on Dec. 12. 2007. That was the last of the 2008 PAC's and the PAC is perhaps the best vehicle Chrysler ever made. At least thats my opinion. Any "new PAC' sold today would or should be marked down big time. In Sept 2008 the national sales for all PAC's sold was less than 600. The last stats I saw said there was a 90 day supply of PAC's in the US.    I fully expect to see 2008 vehicles of all brands still being sold new in June 2009. This car business is in the worst condition you can inagine.    We initally has the shudder problem but with the TC replacement and two reflashes it was gone. We are very pleased with out PAC and the excellent mpg!   Hope this helps.   farout Replies to this message: faschulz (Oct 29, 2008 11:47 am)

Replying to: farout (Oct 29, 2008 11:05 am) thanks for your response, I think the same about the Pac but I had two town & country before and they were so great never have any problems I sold them because they had 130,000 miles and was afraid of some major repair, I hope at the time I can finish with this there are some Pacs left so I can get another hopefully with no problems, I have not seen any in this forum complaning about 08 Pac. I'll keep in touch.
#551 of 744 Shifts Quickly by dane777 Nov 11, 2008 (3:50 pm)
2007 Pacific shifts so quickly it's in overdrive by 25 mph. Anyone been told this is normal. Anyone expericencing this? Replies to this message: farout (Nov 11, 2008 4:38 pm) dane777 (Nov 12, 2008 2:57 pm) rhollis (Nov 12, 2008 5:10 am) gthos (Nov 12, 2008 5:24 am) ksearcy (Nov 12, 2008 7:13 pm)

Replying to: dane777 (Nov 11, 2008 3:50 pm) I am glad to see some action on this forum, welcome! You don't say if you have the 4. L 6 Speed or the 3.8 L with the 4 speed. Either way it seems rather odd. What is your rpm at 25 mph?   If you have the 4. L and 6 speed, There has to be amistake some place. Here is why. At 55 mpg and in 6th gear most of us are about 1600 rpm. So just as a rough guess you would be about 700 rpm. Heck that's less than the 800 the engine is runing in netural while parked. Now if you have the 3.8 L and the 4 speed which is in the Pacifica 5 seat 2 rows FWD than that is the engine and trans you have. I doubt very much that at 25 mph your in 4th lock up. If you are you need to get to the dealer and have them check it out as that just seems like it can't be.   How do you like your PAC? We have a 2007 PAC. Touring AWD and this is by far the best vehicle we have ever owned in 48 years of driving! There is just one thing we don't like! It's not paid for yet.....lol.   Please let me know what engine an trans. you have ok?   farout Replies to this message: dane777 (Nov 12, 2008 2:57 pm)

Replying to: dane777 (Nov 11, 2008 3:50 pm) I was told repeatedly by three different dealers (five visits) that all of the abnormal behavior that I was experiencing with my 2007 Pacifica Touring was completely normal. Two independent inspectors (one drove the car before and after repairs were attempted) stated emphatically that the behavior was not normal. I no longer own the car. Chrysler bought it back and they claimed that it was going to auction. I feel sorry for the person who feels that he is getting a good deal on a carwith only 5500 miles on it in a little over a year.

Replying to: rhollis (Nov 12, 2008 5:10 am) How did that work with the "buy back" and in what state was that? Did they just give you your money back less mileage costs, or did you have to choose another Chrysler product to buy? I think I may be getting close to pressing that kind of matter, but don't really understand the process. I've been to two different dealers with my various problems and just when I thought the second one actually cared about providing a service, I can't get them to call me back to discuss another visit. I guess I need to just stop by and plant myself in the service managers office. Let me know about the buy-back process, please. Thank you.   Jacksonville, FL
#555 of 744 In the shop...again. by bulldozer Nov 12, 2008 (1:45 pm)
Well, I called Chrysler...again... My 07 PAC is in the shop...arain!! 2nd time calling Chrysler, and this time I took it to a different dealership than before. The service manager there seems to be a good bit more knowledgable about the problems I am experiencing which is encouraging. I am still getting the hard pull to the right under acceleration and a rough shift problem. I have paid for two seperate front-end alignmentst myself at two different service shops and they both tell me I am chasing a ghost. Front end is in perfect alignment! Got the print-out from the alignment machine to prove it! Other than that, I really like the PAC and would keep it and drive it until the darn wheels fell off (natural causes, of course). But I just can't keep fighting the steering wheel all the time, especially on long road trips. This will be the last ditch effort on my part. If I get it back and still experience the same problems yet again, I will have no other choice but to either request help from Chrysler getting out of the PAC, or go lemon law. I HATE to have to do it, but it just isn't right to accept things the way they are. I didn't intentionally purchase a constant headache, nor should I be told that the problems are all "normal" behavior for the PAC, let alone any other vehicle. Oh, by the way. My wife's 07 PAC still continues to perform flawlessly (knock-on-wood). Her PAC has been awesome since the day we got it. I won't get rid of it any time soon if it keeps up the great service record! How can two cars, identical in most respects, be so dog-gone different when it comes to road feel, performance, and servicability? I just don't get it. Maybe mine was built on a Monday morning after a weekend of partying and hers was built on a Friday afternoon when everyone was in a happy mood getting ready to do the partying!

Replying to: farout (Nov 11, 2008 4:38 pm) Thanks for responding. It's a 4. L. FWD. I took it to the shop and they reprogrammed the powertrain module. No difference. Next time they replaced the range sensor and a valve cover. Same problem.   Here's what it does in more detail: From a dead stop to 25 mph it will shift 4 times, the fourth feeling like overdrive but I guess it's acutally 5th gear? The shifting is not necessarily rough but I've never had a car where the shifting has been so obvoius and even distracting.   Fortunately, if don't have the shuddering/torque converter problem. Happened to see a show last night showing a transmission assembly (so now I'm an expert : )but have not stayed at a Holiday Inn Express). Wonder how many other components govern WHEN the car shifts in relation to speed and torque.

Replying to: dane777 (Nov 11, 2008 3:50 pm) I too have a 2007 pac touring, 4L, 6sp. The vehicle has had the tourque converter replaced once. It has been flashed 3 times, had a strut replaced and a motor mount replaced. It drives considerably better than it did except for rough shifts and a very low frequency rumble occasionally. All of the work was done at 10,000 miles. My car shifts gears very quickly and I am in 5th gear before I get to 30mph. I mentioned this at two dealerships, and neither showed any interest. I have driven the car another 5000 miles including a trip in the Rocky Mountains. I intend to keep driving until something major happens. I bought the extended max warranty on this vehicle, so when and if it truly is junk as I suspect, they'll be fixing it for many years to come. Thanks for the opportunity to vent, have a nice day
