2019 Chrysler Pacifica Reviews

I love the pacifica. I do a lot of home improvement and DIY projects and this vehicle can handle it all! The family outings are super comfortable. The pacifica styling is top notch, this minivan looks official and does not look like the regular rounded minivan. I think the design is really sleek. We've only had an issue with the passenger side window sticking, not being able to go down and a couple of sensor problems. All in all, it is a great vehicle!

The remote start only turns on the engine, not the climate control. Unless you walk out to the car and open the drivers side door. This is a documented design flaw since 2017 with no TSB for the 2019 that i know of. Brought it to 2 dealerships, it’d just the way they made it. So if you want to have a pre-heated car in winter for a cooled off car in summer for you and your young children, DO NOT get this car.We are so disappointed and my kids complain all the time. It’s so uncomfortable and a worthless remote start designed not to heat or cool the cabin.

I have had absolutely no issues with my vehicle. My van has so much space, ample leg room. You can easily fit three car seats across the back row. The dashboard is way easy to read everything is accessible at your fingertips. I commute on the highway as well as on windy country roads and I have had absolutely no issues she handles like a dream. The carpet and upholstery is easy to clean vacuums easily. Gas mileage is pretty good I think I get about 28 highway I do not have to fill my tank very often and I drive everyday.

Its spacious fits 8 people easy. However they have not perfected the uconnect app, and sometimes it could be rather annoying, but overall has not given me any major issues yet. Maintenance is not that simple the way the motor is in there it gets pretty crammed. I would say in my personal opinion all the safety equipment that even comes on the face models are superior clear backup camera beeping noise if you are backing up object/ car. Blind side advisement along with an automatic engine shutdown if you have your seat belt when the vehicle is idle example at a red light. And other features.

The two main issues I have are as follows: 1) I hate the metal trim around the steering wheel. In the winter it is like touching a freezing ice ring. It doesn't really warm up with the heated steering wheel option either. I always have to wear gloves because of this ring. In the summer it also heats up to a point where it can burn you. This is annoying all the time to me. 2) the automatic turn off of engine when car is at a stop. I hate the delay and I hate having to deal with it. There is a button to turn this feature off but you have to press it each and every time you start your car.

The Pacifica is roomy and comfortable. When grocery shopping, I bring 6 5 gallon water bottles to fill. They fit perfectly in the back/trunk area. There is a built in vacuum which is convenient for days at the beach, the sand is no longer an issue. All of the back seats fold into the floor with ease, just in case you need to haul a big item. The entire top of the van is a sunroof. If you want to point out a star in the sky- no problem, those little ones in the very back can just look up. No need to have everyone scrambling to the front of the vehicle to use the tiny sunroof over mom and dad. It seats 7. 2 captain chairs for the big kids or Grandma and Grandpa... Everyone rides in comfort. Backseat passengers are able to adjust the temperature blowing on them. Front seats at not only heated, they blow cool air for us menopausal women too, it's wonderful! This is by far my favorite vehicle. This is coming from someone that swore she would not ever get another minivan.

Love the van! The built in DVD is a must and the all the rear seats fold into the floor, no more having to take them out! It is a smooth ride and the in dash computer screen is easy to navigate. All doors open electronically and rear camera has saved us from back into things. We bought a black van with the blackout rims and man it looks sharp! We take this van every from family vacations to camping trips and you can fit a ton of things in it, space is never an issue when we go places.

I absolutely love my pacifica! I have a four year old and a five year old and it is so great that they can easily get in and out of the car without me worrying about hitting another car with the door! Sliding doors are the best! The built-in vacuum is absolutely amazing as well. And the storage- incredible! I once had 4 adults, 2 kids and 8 suitcases in it! It is also just super luxurious- I feel so fancy driving it and am just so happy with it. One of the features I didn’t even think I wanted/needed was the vented/cooled seats. Now I cannot imagine not having them! I workout a lot and get really hot- it is so nice to be able to turn on my car remotely, and if it is over a certain temp outside, my car automatically turns on my seat coolers! It is so great! Makes a big difference with having little kids as well, being able to remote start and cool off the car ahead of time. The TVs in the car are super easy to use and my kids absolutely love them as well. For parents that are busy driving kids around, taking work calls in the car (the CarPlay is amazing), I 10/10 would recommend! I know there are a lot of parents out there opposed to minivans but it is really wonderful and I will never go back to driving anything else! Even my husband who made fun of minivans initially now drives my van every chance he gets!

My car is an electric blue & I absolutely love the color. The car is so comfortable to drive. The driver's seat is super comfortable. I am a bigger person so for me the seats need to be comfortable. The controls are very easy to use in the car. I can control the climate in the rear and the person sitting in the back can also control their level of air output with controls in the back. There are plenty of cup holders throughout the car. There are a total of 8 cup holders. All of the back seats in the car fold down completely into the car, making the back of the car flat & easy to transport big items. You can also just put down the middle seats or just put down one seat in the middle or both. You can also just put down the back seats and keep the middle seats up. The middle seats adjust all the way back so that you can lay and relax during the drive or watch a movie on the TV. There are 2 headsets so that you can listen to the movie during the drive. There is a rear camera that assists in backing up. There are also sensors that let you know if it is not safe to switch lanes or to back up.

The vehicle is really amazing for parents who want that extra space that a sedan or an SUV just does not have. The sliding doors allows us plenty of room to park next to vehicles but still have enough space to safely get the kids out of the car without having to worry about a door swinging open. Also, our vehicle has a movie screen which is great for long trips for our 5 year old. Also it has storage compartments underneath the seats which is great when we need extra space for luggage.

Our Chrysler Pacifica 2019 Rear/Back Tailgate glass just exploded while parked @ church (Houston TX) parking lot on 09/15/2019. As we were exiting the vehicle, we heard a loud blast from behind. Turned around and couldn't believe my eyes, the Back-Tailgate glass was completely shattered and pieces all over the place. There were others at the parking lot at the time of the incident who also saw this happen. Many even came over and asked, "how did you glass explode?" Luckily my kids are safe, but now there's glass chips are all over the place even inside the tailgate. This is a new van we just leased this year Feb-Mar 2019, already has a power-steering recall on it and in less than 3000 miles now an exploding tailgate mirror. This should ideally be covered by manufacturer. We had leased 2 Chrysler Town & Country vans prior to leasing this Pacifica and never experienced something like this. Started googling found similar posts on "pacificaforums", namely, "Exploding 2017 Chrysler Pacifica window". Updates: 1. 09/16/2019 Monday 7 AM from Chrysler Dealership (Autonation Katy) Service Department, talked to service advisor about the whole incident, and this is the response I got that they will not cover repairs or replacement of the mirror. They can repair it, but I will have to pay for it in full. I said this is a new van, with >2900 miles shouldn't this be covered? They said I can open case with Chrysler via +1-800-334-9200 and it would have to go through that process. And stated that only if Chrysler is covering the repairs then they can do the repairs for free. 2. 09/16/2019 Monday 9:15 AM from Chrysler (+1-800-334-9200) Case Number# 64530554: Explained the whole incident to the customer service rep and mentioned that I had also posted the incident under (https://www.pacificaforums.com Forums: "2017+ Chrysler Pacifica Minivan Issues, Problems,"; Thread: Chrysler Pacifica 2019 Rear/Back Tailgate Glass Exploded) on the date of the incident. I told them this is our family car; we need it every day and need help with getting this fixed quickly. I also told them the incident happened at the church parking lot and now the van is at home. I had to clean up all the glass debris that fell inside and temporarily seal the rear area that was exposed. The Chrysler customer service reps responded that they need 2-4 weeks to investigate and their inspector will come up with findings and then they can determine what really happened. "So I asked are you telling me not to repair the vehicle for 2-4 weeks that we need to use every day so somebody can come and inspect this in 2-4 weeks. Does this mean I have to put all the cleanup glass back in the van and park the van in the location of the incident (at church parking spot) for this inspector to inspect??????????" Her only reply was it is their process and the inspector needs to inspect to determine the how this happened. I told them we cannot wait 2-4 weeks, we told them we can take the van to any Chrysler Dealership Service Department and they can have service advisors document the whole damage with videos, pictures, even they could be online if they wanted to confirm; their inspectors can write their findings based on all that documentation; the lady rep literally stated that Chrysler Dealership Service Department-Service Advisors are not qualified for this, so they cannot authorize that. What does that even mean?? I told them the van is not in drivable condition but they didn't even have the courtesy to tell me to take it to a Chrysler dealership and they would arrange to have the van taken in during this wait period and offer us a loner van to use during this time. I told them since you not going to help in anyway, my only option to get this resolved quickly is going through my insurance and have scheduled mobile at-home service to get this repaired via Safelite Autoglass. Will you at least cover my deductible that I need to pay out-of-pocket, just $250 and their reply was if I am getting it repaired outside then they cannot do anything to pay even $250. Either Chrysler customer care is most irresponsible, or this is an issue with specific customer service reps. They open cases not really wanting to help just to fool the customer. I had a similar experience with my old Chrysler Town & Country where there was a defect with the van which we found when we lived in San Diego CA. Went to dealership, the service advisor drove the van under similar circumstances, reproduced the hazardous issue and we were the ones who had to help the service advisor stop the vehicle. The van was out of control and he also acknowledged the defect. We called Chrysler customer care from the dealership and asked the Service Advisor to explain the problem which he did. All Chrysler customer care rep could say was they opened case and I needed to leave vehicle there until they can investigate and didn't even offer loner van. Again, this was a new leased Van at the time. Since we knew how to control the vehicle if this happened, we just said we don’t need their help at the time, and they closed the case. In this case we didn't even ask for any compensation just needed their help to address this serious defect. Later in the news we hear lot of accidental deaths happened cos this van (make/model) went out of control and people died. Even when we report issues with their vehicles, Chrysler customer care don't have the slightest courtesy or responsibility towards their customers to help address their own problems. Most irresponsible.

If I didn’t have three children in car seats, this would have been 5 stars. I love everything about it. I even love the stow and Go seats. What I wish, is that I had known the stow and go seats means you CAN NOT remove the head rests on any of the seats, which means you CAN NOT correctly install convertible car seats into this vehicle. The third row outer headrests fold down against the seat back which is better than nothing, but this seat installation still isn’t secure bc it’s anchored against the head rest. Do not recommend for anyone who plans on installing car seats. Don’t get the model with stow and go-just get the regular seats.

I love our Chrysler pacifica. There is zero road noise in the cabin. It also has a very smooth ride. The seat upholstery is very durable and easy to clean. We get decent gas mileage as well. It has plenty of convenience features. Automatic mirrors, seats, and windows. Stow and go middle captain seats and rear bench seat. Has plenty of trunk space and headroom. The rear backup cameras are so helpful and convenient as are the automatic trunk and sliding doors.

It is great for kids! There are TVs in the back for them along with leather seats to make cleaning up messes easy. There’s stow n go storage along with a vacuum in the back. It is great to pick up crumbs. There’s a front to back sunroof that everyone in the car can enjoy. I love the dual climate control for the front and the back. Every row has its own charging port for electronics. There’s plenty of room for the whole family. I got both strollers in the back perfectly.

Brought my new 2019 Touring L Plus home and tried installing my childrens car seat and booster seat on the second row captains chairs. They would not fit properly because the head rest pushed the top of the seat forward.The head rest does not go up or down and it is not removable.I contacted the dealership and nobody had ever heard of this problem before.I was told to buy new seats!I can't believe Chrysler would build a family vehicle that does not accommodate child safety seats.Very,very upset.

I really had an bad experience with this van. First it had a rear shock noise right after buying this vehicle in first month. They fixed it but they had a very bad service. I got a wait too long and driving this van with noise for three weeks. First they lied that they fix, as soon oi drove, the noise was there. I returned again right a way, then they put this again for another day. They told me the protecting sheet on the shock was giving noise. Then after two weeks i got noise like chuck chuk while pressing brakes from my front shocks. Right after one week my LCD screen went off, So now my van is in garage since whole day from last night but no answer. They said, they r still diagnosting and they dont know what the hell is the problem. Its Premium Chrysler laval Quebec Canada, And they never have a shuttel service for me. Everytime I go, They say this time we dont have any driver. Never gonna go for this hybrid chrysler.

I have had my van for a year and I have had no problems. We love the hybrid aspect and in the summer I can get up to 60 mpg around town. The space and layout are great. I have even taken my van to ikea and loaded a ton of very large things in the back! It was amazing. My kids love the DVD player. They were really thinking of convenience when they designed it. My only small complaint is at night, there’s no ambient lighting so it is quite dark- it just wasn't what I was used to. Not a big deal. There’s a lot of monitoring that goes on which makes me feel good- if something were to go wrong, my car can tell me about it before it is bad. I have had a flat tire twice (nails) and my car told me before I had a big issue.

I love the Pacifica for the amount of storage space that you have in addition to how many passengers it can hold. For a family, these features are critical. Everything else about the vehicle is nice to have, but they are really nice to have! It took us a while to find a new 3rd row vehicle with an overhead/center DVD (which we prefer as opposed to the ones in the driver/copilot headrests, which only the second row can see). We haven't really had any electrical or mechanical issues at this point, which our previous vehicle (the Town and Country) had. Only one recall, which we need to take care of yet, but was communicated promptly and professionally.

All in all I really like my vehicle. The only thing I wasn't happy with is the space in the second row, and the fact that it is not apple compatible. Other than that all the features make things easy to use. I love the adjustable front seats so that I have easier access to secure our car seat in the second row. That makes my life a lot easier. If I had one thing to change about my purchase, I would have probably gotten a sunroof just for fun, and opted out of the DVD players. They are not what they cracked up to be. Especially since the seats are so close. My toddler is constantly kicking the screen.

We bought the Chrysler pacifica specifically because the seats fold into the floor. We travel with our beloved golden retriever who tends to get motion sick. The anti motion sickness pills make her very sleepy, so we bought a dog bed for the van, put the 2nd row of seats in the floor, and let her rest comfortably. The pacifica is a nice van-rides smooth, quiet and roomy, but the ability to put the seats in the floor for more room was the deal breaker.

Chrysler pacifica limited is very nice. Sleek look for mini van with chrome accents, chrome rims, comfy leather seats with warmers for front and 2nd row captain chairs. Tech savvy dashboard, remote control side doors and liftgate. Kids love the space and USB jacks throughout vehicle to plug in devices. Has extended sunroof all the way to 3rd row. Drives smooth with great horsepower. Seats go into floor allowing me to carry a washer and dryer if I needed too.

It is just plain awesome. It is an absolute pleasure to drive. If you have a family, which chances are, you do, if you own or are at least looking to own a minivan, you will be happy to know it has plenty of cargo space. Oh, I forgot to mention, this amazing van is equipped with incredible fuel economy and efficiency, however, to put it in my friends words, it is not the quickest minivan we've tested, but the pacifica is far from sluggish (it reaches 60 mph in 7.3 seconds, about mid-pack) and feels plenty peppy around town. In non-hybrid guise, it packs a 287-hp 3.6-liter v-6 and a nine-speed automatic transmission. The pacifica hybrid makes less total horsepower (only 260 ponies) between its 3.6-liter v-6 and two electric motors backed up by a 16-kwh lithium-ion battery but feels similarly sprightly in the real world. In our testing, however, it trailed the gas-powered model to 60 mph by 0.5 second.
