#1 of 6 05 pacifica Rotor and brake problem @ 11000 miles by luscombe1310 Aug 06, 2007 (9:36 am)
Hi Everyone: This is my first post. I purchased my 2005 AWD Pacifica on Dec 28 04. My odometer reads 11,000 miles as today. My rotor is bad I called local dealer they said Chrysler only cover this part in the first year regardless the mileages I have. I had the front repaired last Fri. and mechanic said my rear was even worst than the front one. Now I am waiting the rear rotor and brake to be arrived tomorrow.   The local dealership told me I can make a complaint to head quarter's customer service. I called them this morning and they said I should go to dealership to have my car diagnosis and they will tell me will they knowledge the cost of repair or not and no guaranteed they would. This option is too late for me because I had friend fixing the problem for me.   I called my salesperson this morning (I had purchased and lease 6 different Chrysler cars from him since 92). He gave me a hint that it seems around 04-05 Pacifica have brake issue. I would like to know does anyone have the same experience like my 05 AWD Pacifica?   Any input will help. Thanks in advance!

Replying to: luscombe1310 (Aug 06, 2007 9:36 am) I have the 05 FWD Pacifica. My front brakes would shimmy real bad when braking on the expressway. Mine started at about 12,000 miles. When I finally had the chance to take to the dealer, (18,000 miles), they told me they were out of warranty. I eventually purchased a set of slotted rotors on ebay and bendix pads. Best thing I ever did. Had them installed by my mechanic...less cost, better job.

Hi,   I have a 2006 Pacifica it has about 38000 miles on. my husband uses it to commute. About 2 weeks ago we noticed the brakes were grinding a little when we first started braking but only while going slow. Then the brake light on the dash started to go off about the same time grinding noise started. So my husband decided to do the brakes. Well when the pads were pulled off I still have about 50% of the pad left. So I;m trying to see of anyone has had this same problem and if so what was the out come. Considering the warranty is now out I'm not sure what to do. Replies to this message: nelson33 (Jun 19, 2009 5:28 am)

Replying to: diffsam (May 10, 2009 8:14 am) I have an 05 AWD Pac. w. 25k miles. At 9k miles, my rotors warped and were replaced under warranty. At around 25K miles, ie recently, they warped again. This time the right driver side rotor developed deep scores/etching in the outer rotor. Since it was no longer under warranty, I decided to go after-market w. both rotors and pads, Duralast Gold Cmax pads to be specific. I'm hoping these will work out better for me than the OEM's. So far, much better brakes, ie quieter and more responsive, than the OEM. Hopefully, these rotors will not warp. I'm sure it's not my driving style for I'm not a brake rider or have a heavy foot, especially with these gas prices and my Pac fuel economy. Time will tell. One good thing, Pac brakes are simple to service for the DIYer.
#5 of 6 Rotor Issue by dvee Jun 23, 2009 (11:06 am)
I bought rotors from a local autoparts store and after putting them on and driving for less than a hundred miles and holding the brakes they start to shimmer. I bought the vehicle to dealership and was told than they were warped and I need mopar parts. Could this be the case? Replies to this message: duddly101 (Jul 12, 2009 12:21 pm)

Replying to: dvee (Jun 23, 2009 11:06 am) I realize this reply is months beyond original posting, but may help someone in the future. Although rotors purchased "new" from a reputable parts store, one assumes they are true and do not need turning, Take the time to have your new rotors turned before installing. This will save both time and $. Otherwise your new pads will also be come warped, and may cause premature and uneven wear to the rotors.
