You do not have to get a vehicle for the same or more that the MSRP. We got a Jeep Compass that was $4,000. less. If you bought a Chrysler service contract Chrysler will transfer it on to your new vehicle. In our case we paid $ .05 cents a mile for 28,500 miles. We were treated very fair. Generally they charge $ .15 to $. 25 cents a mile as a rule. Hope this helps, good luck. farout

The stigma of years ago is not what it once was, but it will have some longer lasting stains on ones credit, that can be overcome in time, if learning has taken place. I sincerely wish you the best. farout |

| tranny shudder happens between 30 & 50 mph. had to dealer twice. Was told on first visit of the TSB 18-19-06-78. They had the car just part of that day. Got the car home and started doing the same thing. Second visit--- dealer had car 1 day--performed road test and said he found normal shifting. He said the tranny was meant to shift fast and that the transmission to engine will request touque management, to drop injectors, timing, and transmission will shift and engine will return to normal. **B.S.--He Told me all Pacificas do that, that it is, "NORMAL" He told me to call Chrysler. I did the first time and will do that again the second time. Will work on Lemon Law. Such a pretty car, such unprofessionalism, and engineering. Really love car. Any answers?? It is just the TC, and why don't they just say that and replace it?? Seems pretty simple if thats it. Quit beating around the bush and fix it right the first time. We like the car, not what its doing. THAT IS NOT NORMAL !! We only have 3000 miles on it-- | |

Wow - found the 75 messages all about my same problem. Took my new Pacifica with 1500 miles in today. Service Manager rode with me - thought it was the engine missing as the tanny idiot light did not come on. later in the day, he said it was the tranny and had a service bulletin to use software to reset the electronic transmission. I did not notice a problem driving home, but it was not bad to begin with. Now that I have read the messages above, I am really worried! Bob

 Just brought our new 2007 Pacifica and it has approx 1,000 miles on it to the dealer for several issues, mainly, we noticed the past week that when driving at approx 30-40 mph the car seems to hesitate, hard to explain, but doesn't seem to shift smoothly as you are accelerating (gently). So when we dropped it off today we also told them about the front driver side, speaker (or so we thought)sounded cracked, it idles high and the driver side arm rest just isn't right. When the dealer called they said the speaker was fine, they couldn't duplicate the hesitation despite driving it 14 miles, it doesn't idle high and the arm rest is just the way it is. I was shocked when they didn't address any of our legitimate concerns. So I decided to look up info on Pacifica defects/problems as there is a definite hesitation around 30-40 mph which is our main concern. That's when I saw all the other owners with a similar problem which they called a shudder and it is exactly that problem. I still can't believe how dismissive the service dept was in telling us they couldn't duplicate the problem. Of course they left a message. I have 2 fords the past 10 years, Taurus & Windstar and have minimal to no problems with them especially when under warranty. Whatever concerns few concerns we had were checked & corrected if necessary, no problems. So FIrst I was surprised then aggrevated they are claiming there is no problem,& now I flat out scared & worried that I purchased a lemon, or at best a vehicle that many people seem to first, have a problem, then secondly, can not get Chrysler to fix as they are supposed. Then regarding the speaker, after reading posts, it seems some people have had a problem with a front end vibration, I'm thinkng thats the problem. It really is disturbing since we really liked the Pacifica, and after having the windstar out of necessity, it was so nice to be able pick and purchase a vehicle we truly wanted.... now I'm not so sure
