There was also a noise and a jerking feeling when we would stop and start. My husband swore it was the transmission, however, it turned out to be the motor mounts. This will be our second time replacing them in 8 months! Replies to this message: faschulz (Sep 21, 2009 2:18 pm)

At the end Chrysler gave me my money back minus miles, I was about to buy a Chrysler Aspen but Chrysler financial was giving me a very high interest rate, (I think they make me a favor) I went to Lexus and Got a brand New Lexus Rx 350 which is a much better car and works and drives the way it should not the Chrysler way (they always said that was normal the shudder and the hard down shift that broke the engine mounts twice in one year. Call Chrysler and let them know that you are not happy with the car, they were very nice with me and is in some way very easy to do. Regards.

Replying to: hollybarry (Sep 17, 2009 3:16 pm) Chrysler has gone to a oil filled motor mount. These mounts are recent thing. The oil filled mounts make the V-6 a engine run with less vibration, and a quiter cabin. I too had our replaced, it is not a big deal, and is done while having an oil change. Don't make this out to be a huge issue, several other vehicle makers have this problem as well. Rotors indicate a heavy foot on the brakes. Do you drive with your left foot braking when coming to a stop, or do you use your right foot? Often left foot brakers will cause faster ware on the pads, rotors, and calipers. There are times that other faulty parts acn cause this as well. The Dealer should fine the source of the problem. The 07 Pacifica's have had some vehicles that some customers felt their vehicles were were so faulty they wanted their money back. Chrysler is a very liberal company that stands behind their vehicles and even refunds a customers money. This is good will on Chryslers part is seldom praised. Try a Ford or GMC and see what they say, these others don't do refunds.

Replying to: rhollis (Sep 22, 2009 2:15 pm) Well all I know is whomever said I prolly had motor mount problems was right on. Apparently the "front two were in bad shape and the rear one was just gone". Now was "just gone" gone as in not there or gone as in real bad I will not know. However, the rotors? I am not a 2-foot driver and have only had the car since February when I got it brand new. It's a 2008. BTW, even with the new rotors and motor mounts, I still feel like there's something wrong. It just ain't right. Something inherently just ain't right about the car....but how do you go to the dealer and tell them THAT??? I think I will call Chrysler. What a shame. Cuz the Pacifica is a dang nice looking, thick (as in safe/sturdy) car. But the innards? pooh.

Replying to: hollybarry (Sep 24, 2009 4:04 pm) The brakes on my 2007 Pacifica Touring started to pulse as I was driving home from the dealer - bad rear rotors. Replies to this message: Biggd1999 (Sep 25, 2009 4:51 am) rhollis (Sep 25, 2009 5:27 am)

Replying to: rhollis (Sep 25, 2009 4:27 am) I didn't have brake problems with my 07 Pac Touring until about 35k miles, they started to pulse. However the motor mount issue plagued my car, 2 sets in under 30k miles along with mutiple other issues, so I traded it in on an 09 Charger.. I also have an 07 Durango with 34k miles on it. We bought it with 19k miles and the brakes were destroyed so the dealer paid to have them replaced. About 6 months later the front warped again and the dealer fixed them under the limited time warranty from when they put them on. Now the rears are gone and pulse like crazy... the only issue I have now is the dealer was closed by corporate so I am screwed out of having them fixed..

Replying to: Biggd1999 (Sep 25, 2009 4:51 am) The dealer argued with me about my rear brake rotors. They tried to claim that there was no problem and everything was normal. To compound the issue, the tech backed into a post while he was roadtesting my car. They would not road test it until I made a specific request. Odd, I thought, as I road test nearly every car that comes into my shop (close to 40 years in business).
#704 of 751 chrysler pacifica won't move - help? by rockhunter71 Sep 28, 2009 (2:28 pm)
I have a 2006 pacifica with 52k miles. Started it this morning, put it in rev and it wouldn't go. I put the car back into park and tried again, nothing. I moved to drive position and still won't go. Put the car in neutral and tried to roll it, nothing. I am thinking maybe a linkage? Any ideas? ------- update: I tried again and this time it made a horrible noise when it went into reverse. I let it move back a little but it didn't feel right. Put the car in drive and pulled forward but it most definitely wasn't smooth. In neutral the car will now roll. I feel like there is a pretty serious internal issue in the tranny but wonder why it would happen right in my driveway with no hint of a problem before. Gonna have to call the tow guy, crap!

Replying to: rockhunter71 (Sep 28, 2009 2:28 pm) I believe that the shifter is cable operated. Iwould tend to thing that the cableis broken or has become disconnected, probably at the transmission end.
