farout: Yes, it's only noticeable under light acceleration. I drive a stretch of road that is really hilly and the speed limit is 55 but people go anywhere between 45-60 on it. This is when I notice it, cause the cruise control waits until the last minute to downshift, therefore I feel the lugging, like a stick shift in too high of a gear. Once it downshifts it is good. I will say after all the motor mount replacements it's nowhere near what it used to be.. much better. I haven't watched the mpg lately but I will, it's only in the high 40's to low 50's here so I will see what it's getting. If you remember I mentioned awhile ago I was only getting about 260-280 miles per tank and the computer readout for the miles to empty was really screwy. This last weekend I cleaned & vacuumed it out (kids are messy..lol) and I had the radio on for over 2 hours and I killed the battery dead.. I had to jump start it and now those weird readouts and wacky mileage is gone.. Very strange to me..

Replying to: Biggd1999 (Mar 26, 2009 11:56 am) Is your PAC a AWD or FWD, and how many miles onyour PAC? We are liking our PAC the longer we have it, we bought it new on Aug. 31, 2007. The only thing on the PAC we don't use is the Power Adjustable Pedals. Both me and my bride have the same spot for where the pedals fit, all the way down. Theat came with the heated front and second row seats. We really like the bun warmers so nice in freezing temps. We have had several Dealers close in our area, and one more GMC dealer is rumored to planning to close soon. Bad time to be a sales man or woman that's for sure. Our PAC came form a dealer in Grand Island NE. We found the exact PAC we wanted in searching Chryslers web site, and the dealer here went and got it. However the guy picking it up found a dead battery when he picked it up. So they put a brand new battery in it before they left for Missouri. We have had no battery problems after we bought it. The lifetime limited powertrain warranty is something that really we like. farout

Last April we drove it from Mi to Fl and it was fabulous, we really like how much space it has on the inside especially with 3 kids. When I was searching for mine, I found a dealer in Battle Creek, MI that proclaimed to be the largest Pacifica dealership in the US. The day I picked it up they had over 100 in stock. I think today they have 10 or so.. lol I really wish I had the lifetime warranty.. ugh.

The second row looks like new as only three or four times has anyone sat in them. But we are sometimes as messy as three youngens, so we seem to allway have a Wallies world bag we use for trash in the back of the passengers seat. I read in Jan 09 thet there were still 2,500 unsold PAC's and some were 07's. There must be a huge discount now on the PAC. I do know the Bule Book value sure has tanked. Heck we owe about two times what the Blue Book says the PAC should sell for retail.....ug! farout |

Replying to: jlou619 (Mar 30, 2009 10:04 am) If you can get a Chrysler Service Contract etended warranty I would highly reccomend that would be a wise move. A good dealer and service department is what really is a blessing. Remember that most PAC owners are pleased, but this forum does attract those with issues they are looking to solve. Some have had Chrysler buy back their pAC, as they did not meet expectations of the owners. Chrysler wants owners that are happy. GM and Ford I do not think go that far to please customers. At least as far as I know of. Tell me what equipment has it got, the mileage and the price and I will attempt to tell you more. Check the Kelly Blue Book to make sure you are not paying too much. farout

Replying to: farout (Mar 30, 2009 11:16 am) ~~~~~~~~~~ Every PAC in existence was made before Jan 08. The last PAC to roll off the Windsor, Ontario, Canada assembly line was Dec 12th, 2007. Are you sure about this date?

Replying to: jtg61 (Mar 31, 2009 4:41 am) This not a unique problem. With other Mfg's of 6 speed auto trans they too have a lugging sensation. So I have been told. I can't say for 100% sure. farout |

Replying to: ksearcy (Mar 15, 2009 6:21 pm) Another thing, I have my PAC going in Friday for a check up on the TC and other issues I'm reading about. Would you believe they don't have loaner cars for warranty issues? I was pretty shocked. Is this normal or should I look into going to another dealer?
