#50 of 107 Re: ridiculous oil consumption [happytrails07] by ctaylor2 Nov 29, 2007 (2:45 pm)
Replying to: happytrails07 (Nov 29, 2007 10:54 am) I just picked the car up. I am so sorry that it burns oil because it rides really nice and is so comfortable. Paper work says they checked the spark plugs, no sign of oil deposits and replaced pcv valve and cleaned out intake manifold. I am sure none of this is going to help. It also states engine operating as designed. Thats a joke or what!. I am going to call my mechanic tomorrow and explain things to him to see what he says. If you do not mind me asking how much what you recommended costs to have done. I almost feel like paying someone else to do it. Thank You for your feedback.

Can anyone help me? I am looking for a dealership who admits to these 05 Pacifica oil problems and that are willing to fix them. I live in New Jersey and my car originated in Michigan. I am now dealing with Buhler dealer in Hazlet. The manager their says nothing is wrong with it. I believe he does not want to take the time to fix it. Thank You Replies to this message: qbrozen (Nov 30, 2007 5:38 pm) ctaylor2 (Dec 03, 2007 5:13 am)

Replying to: happytrails07 (Nov 29, 2007 10:54 am) How did you find out it was a bad batch of 0 rings? and how do I know if that is the issue w/ my 04? would love documentation to bring to a dealer here. Was this covered under warranty? if not what was the cost to you? you must have felt the cost outweighed getting a new vehicle...... I live in NC and would love to fix the problem if I could instead of trading. thanks!

Replying to: qbrozen (Nov 30, 2007 5:38 pm) Thank you for your reply. I guess I can give them a try. If I get any assistance from a dealer or a lawyer, I will be sure to post it. Thanks again.

Replying to: ctaylor2 (Dec 07, 2007 4:36 am) what did you trade for?   and, if you don't mind me asking, what did they give you for the Pac? What were the details on yours again?   I'm surprised you didn't give another service department a shot, but you did what you were happy with, so that's all that matters.   We still really like our Pac, but we won't be buying it at the end of the lease. 9 months to go and it goes back to Chrysler. Sometimes the actions of the transmission make me worry. That's the primary reason. Second is the gas mileage. We just aren't happy getting 18-19 mpg. Not that this second reason is a complaint. We knew we'd get around that when we bought it. But our priorities (not to mention the price of gas) have changed since then.   Based on these posts, I did check the oil recently. The car doesn't burn any, as far as I can tell. I'll check again closer to oil change time, however. Replies to this message: ctaylor2 (Dec 08, 2007 6:07 am)

Replying to: qbrozen (Dec 07, 2007 11:19 am) I traded for a 07 Saturn Aura. Hope to have much better luck with this one. They gave me 11,750 for the pac. I paid 17,500. I took the loss upfront instead of putting the money in the terrible gas mileage and oil consumption. I did speak to other Chysler dealers over the phone who also told me it was ok to burn oil. I was back to the Saturn dealer yesterday (had a chip in windsheild which they fixed, no questions asked) and saw the pac out for sale . I wanted to see how much they were asking but thought that would add to the wound. I spoke with a mechanic there and he told me "It was just a matter of time before the transmission goes". What an expensive lesson!!! It's a good thing you leased this one. So far I love my Saturn and took an extened warranty just in case. Good luck
#59 of 107 2005 PACIFICA 'LEMON' Touring by nelsonla Dec 12, 2007 (9:00 am)
I bought a 2005 Pacifica two years ago and I've had nothing but problems. In the past 4.5 months its been in the shop 3 times = 4months. It has been a nightmare. I've called every number I can find connected to Chrysler to get help. I got the run around where one department sent me to the other. The cars engine was burning too much oil but I didn't know it. I live alone (female) and I am not a mechanic. The dealership replaced many parts (including the rings) costing several thousand dollars. Fortunately I bought a full warranty on top of the warranty that came with the car. Again it began having problems - back to the dealership we go - oil was pouring out of the engine. I took it in and they replace the cam shaft and tried to tell me it was an entirely separte problem. Again it begain having problems- back to the dealership we go - It is now in the shop and the motor has to be replaced. During this ridiculous amount of time the warranty provides for 5 days rental. I WARN anyone buying a car to stay away from Chrysler - RUN FOR YOUR LIFE !!!! Odessa TX Problems: engine sluggish                    car jerks when changes gears                    engine light comes on frequently                    makes rattling noise from engine - sounds like flapping                    steering is loose                    steering pulls to the right                    will jump into over drive for no reason - nearly hit other cars                    oil pouring from engine                    rattling noise has grown worse with every visit to dealership                    stalling over and over                    problems starting - make several attempts                    cruise control works off and on, loses speed and kicks in over drive                    for no reason - dealership continues to claim there is no problem.   NOTE: Recent problems, car is at dealership - Just to TRYING and get HELP   1.
