Hi guys first time possible Chrysler owner first post ,

I'm looking to buy a 2006 Pacifica that has 26,752 miles. Black with black leather loaded.

Could you please tell me the Pro's and Con's on the Pacifica? Also what do i need to look for in problem areas and common fixes and break downs.
Are they known for bad transmissions?

Thanks for your Help!

Todd

 

well u will run into potential problems. My dad bought 1 recently and the motor mounts were bad. I did some research and maaaaany people was complaining about that same thing. Also, if that happens to b your problem, u will definitely have a hard to jus to get a new motor mount because they are on backorder.

 

Thanks,

I decided not to buy it. I also found that the transmissions are less than desirable to.

But hey...every car manufacturer has problem areas.

Just glad I didn't drop all that money just to be fixing it the whole time I owned it!

Todd, Not sure how well you researched it. Based on this post, does not sound like you got much info. I had an 04 with a stellar transmission. I think there were issues when they went to the 6speed (07?) torque converter problem. But I am not sure if it was a huge problem or not.

We have a 2007 PAC Touring with the 4.0 and six speed. Yes, there is a problem with the tranny and fixed by replacing the tourque converter. I would recommend buying 2007 or later.
