My faithful Chrysler Pacifica
I've had my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica since 2008.. I love my car... Over all these years, I've only had to replace the radiator, alternator, and battery... This doesn't include topical maintenance for the car. Like brakes, tires, oil change, etc.. This has been the best car I've ever owned..I will be sad when the day comes that I have to get rid of it.

Beautiful reliable vehicle
I have over 250,000 miles on my vehicle it was been very reliable, enough room for my 3 kids and plus some. Heated seats are amazing. Drives perfect. I have no had any major issues with this vehicle. Ac runs perfect. Love the sunroof. 6 disc CD player.

Sturdy ride, driving during winter season
Very Roomy for passengers I commute with to work. Sturdy ride with height level when adjusting seating for passengers. Gas mileage is usually a good bet when commuting to and from work as well as picking up my co workers. Not much luggage space due to 3rd row seating if applicable

A good family car, great for travels.
My vehicle is used, with 2 previous owners than myself. The fuel pumps can go bad if the car is kept outside in rough winters like the ones in Michigan. I have good mileage and it's a very spacious vehicle for my growing family and myself. The leather seat make for easy clean up from my two year old and his messes and the sun roof adds a nice touch during the summer when we want the windows down but without much of a crosswind in the car.

Comfortably seats 7 people would recommend buying
I like that it is a SUV with 3rd row seating. It's comfortable and drives good. Only dislike if the SUV is full there isn't a lot of space for groceries and other stuff.

Perfect family car: taking the family on a camping trip or going to visit other family others!
I like that it is roomy, perfect family vehicle. One of the dislikes about the car is that it drinks a lot of gas! But it's a smooth driving vehicle that doesn't have a lot of mechanical problems.
accountCircle Mandi E

Was dependable til Iwas going to get front end alignment..
I absolutely loved my Pacifica I named Bertha I bought her used four months ago and drove her once a week a 100 miles to Ohio from Ky til she just made her last trip I knew she needed lined up and took her in of course Iwanted to keep her in great shape the mechanic put her on the lift and put her in the air and brought her straight back down she couldn't b lined up due to her cross member(which is what holds motor up) had rusted in half on the passenger side (now remember bought her 4 months ago and told she had been thoroughly checked by mechanic) and she was a solid car..The mechanic Itook her to said no way she rusted in half in four months so I was lied to..also was told there wasa recall on that particular part due to when made they forgot a crucial part of coating the cross member to protect my girl Bertha from rusting so now she's parked and according to Googleher kind is known as "motor droppers" I have a two yr old son that could have been seriously hurt if she would've dropped her motor at 60mph going up 23 to Ohio.. Hopingand praying there was a recall and Ican get Bertha back on the Rd safely if not to the scrap yard my girl goes...makes me wanna cry my eyes out cause other than that she drove and rode great and my baby boy loved his car...

My car has a very roomy backseat but also has engine problems.
I have had to put a lot of work into the car, I have got 3 broken motor mounts, I need a new upstream and downstream o2 sensor, but it made a 2000 mile cross country trip that I didn't expect it to, but the day after I finished the trip I tried to drive it and something is wrong with the front driver wheel, I think it is something to do with the axle and bearings. I have had the fuel pump replaced it cost me $1000, but it only gets about 10 miles to the gallon so a full talk will only get you about 160 miles. I just changed the spark plugs which I thought would help with the gas mileage but it did not. My key fob battery or the car battery just died as it will not unlock with the key anymore.

Avoid Buying a 2004 Pacifica
This vehicle has 6 seats. That's the only positive thing I can think of. It gets horrible gas mileage and always has something that needs to be fixed. Avoid if possible.
accountCircle Pauline M
Roomy for larger families.
I bought my car used, and it is an older vehicle. I like that it seats 6 comfortably and the back seats fold down to allow for plenty of room for transporting things. However, I am a shorter person so seeing over the dashboard is a bit difficult, and there is a big blind spot because of the side mirrors.

Chrysler Pacifica. Sturdy SUV.
It is a great car, just has gotten old. It has about 180, 000 miles on it and has been a tough car. Drives great in the snow. Parts can be expensive.
accountCircle Randy L
A little on the small side, but overall a decent vehicle.
CV joints and that general front end area has consistent issues, it's a little small, but decent pickup and power. Overall we like it, but there are some definite improvements that could be made.
accountCircle Jessica F
Comfortable, quiet and spacious.
The vehicle is 14 years old, my husband and I bought it used. There seems to be an issue with the air conditioning and acceleration sometimes feels sluggish. Seating is very comfortable. The space in the car is awesome. Quiet, comfortable ride. Wish it was better on gas mileage.

Pacifica
Bought used in 2011--no problems until recently. I am retired and was told I don't drive the car enough to keep the battery charged. Something is draining battery and dealership seem not to be able to find or fix problem. Bought a bigger battery, still problem. Love the car and would like to keep it but so frustrating to go out in the morning and car won't start. Hate to get rid of but will try to sell or will donate to a charity

The greatest car I have ever owned.
My Pacifica has cost me a lot of money, but I love it. I read somewhere the life expectancy of this vehicle is 150,000 miles. I almost have 190,000 miles on it and I keep repairing it because I want it to last as long as possible. I do not want to sell this car. I want to keep it until it no longer runs or i can not afford it. The best car I have ever owned.

Yes I have had nothing but good experiences with the Chrysler Pacifica. It was used when I got it (by a family member) and they have not had any problems with it either.

Our car that we have isn't able to play music with the CD player, as it just swallows the disc and only spits it out when it wants to.
