Replying to: dane777 (Nov 11, 2008 3:50 pm) 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

| 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) 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) 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 |

Replying to: faschulz (Dec 09, 2008 4:48 am) Is it any wonder that the Big 3 are in trouble. Thirty years ago I was at a party in Detroit and I was tallking to a just retired GM executive. He made it extremely clear that GM was in serious trouble and if they did not change their management and their flawed management policies they would get in deeper and deeper. Well! Years ago I had a problem with a Ford Ranger. After three trips to the dealer and a phone call from my attorney, I received a refund. That sure isn't the way that it works now.
