I drove 500 miles on a 2007 Pacifica and did not experience the shutter. Seems that this problem is showing up in some, but not all, 2007 models.

has to be the 4.0 l engine w/six speed trans, I think that just the ones built before may are the ones that can do the shudder.
how do you feel the suspension?
mine has a noisy front end like weak shock absorber , my pacifica is 2000 miles now, please let me know.

I'm waiting on a lawyer to review my case for a buyback. I've only had my truck for 8 months. I had my axle shaft and cable booster replaced all within 2-3 months. Now my steering wheel shakes when I brake, after they replaced the axle. My car also uses alot of gas. But of course the dealer says its normal. I don't think 11-12 mpg is normal. I've taken my truck in about 3-4 times about the gas and a hesitation when taking off. Which the dealer said was normal. Let me know about your buyback.

I live in Florida and have 2500 on my 2007 Pacifica. Have been fighting the same problem (and others for six months now). Supposed to be meeting the district manager next week (whatever that may mean). I'm curious to know what the "buy back" is that you referred to. Please advise. Thanks

Pacifica shudder by frustrated18

I am headed back for the 3rd service this month and have only had my new car for 3 months. My 2007 Pacifica shakes and shudders between 25 and 40 miles and thuds when I put it into gear. I had wondered if I had put the wrong kind of gas in it or if it was just "breaking in." It is a miserable drive and just feels as if the transmission is going to drop in the middle of the road. Also, interstate ramps become scary because it always rears its ugly head when I am getting on or getting off. Thanks so much for your postings and for helping me understand what is going on. Will let you know what happens after this but I have had enough. Thirty grand is just too much money to throw at a vehicle that drives like a old jalopy. I really love the look and the seating but I'm done with the drive! Any further suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I have had a buy back on a 2005 Jeep Liberty Diesel in April of this year. It takes about 3 months to complete, and Chrysler is very very fair!
  We had the shudder you are having. We had it at 26 to 40 depending on the RPM's. Took it to the dealer for the 3000 mile oil change. The service tec. noticed there was a TSB on the transmission. He reprogramed the PCM or the TCM I am not sure which. That took care of the problem! The computer takes a while to retrain it's self and then it runs just fine.
   We are at about 5,700 miles now and we got the Pacifica Touring AWD Aug. 31. What is amazing to us is the mpg! 22 loaclly and 24 to 25 on a trip! That's better than the Compass we traded in on the Pacifica. As I understand the Pacifica 2008 will be the last for the Pacifica's. Perhaps as early as early as dec.31. It might be that Chrysler might make the new mini van the JOURNEY in Windsor. The Journey is a smaller van on the Avenger platform, and has 3 or 4 mor inches on the wheel base. I saw it in AUTO WEEK, I tink. The Journey is due out in mid 2008 as a 2009.
   Oh well there is a nother rabbit I chased. I would try a different dealer if the dealer you are using has not been able to help you.
  Hope this helps ya.

I had the exact same problem, the dealer checked the transmission fluid level and it was too high. It has been two weeks since they lowered the fluid levels and I haven't had any of the same shuddering anymore. They also reprogammed the on board computer. The dealer also told me that the fluid levels have to be an exact amount or else it can cause the transmission to act the way it does or it can blow the seals in your transmission. I hope this info helps because it has helped me.

I haven't got the problem fixed yet, but I received a call that the new torque converter has arrived. In post #53 they mentioned this TSB #21-002-07 REV.B. Should know if it is the same one the dealership is referencing my problem. Hope it helps...
