Chrysler Pacifica reliability
#81
We have updated results for the Chrysler Pacifica to include owner experiences through December 31, 2009. In terms of repair trips per 100 cars per year:
2007: 109
2006: 111
2005: 153
2004: 166
All are now worse than average. Sample sizes were small for all but the 2007.
A big thank you, once again, to everyone who has been helping. We'll have further updates in May and August. With more participants, we could provide more precise information and cover all model years.

Recently enhanced the related repair history survey so that it can (optionally) be used as a personal car maintenance record for cars 2000 MY and newer.
As always, more participants would be helpful. Updated Car Reliability Survey results in May.

In a couple of weeks we'll start previewing the next set of results to participants. The preview results will be updated as responses come in--for me it's like watching the results of a presidential election, only four times a year.
How many model years will we be able to fully cover this time around? It depends entirely on the number of owners that participate.

My wife and I bought a new 2007 Pacifica Touring 2WD 4.0 v6. Overall we really like the vehicle. We've driven it coast to coast and back and its seen 23 states! About 55K miles now.
We have had some strange experiences though...mostly electrical.
1. Strange message about "liftgate" problem on gauge cluster occurred once.
2. Windshield wipers came on by themselves once (hasn't happened again).
3. The Air/Heat blower motor simply quit one day. It wouldn't turn on. Worked again after shutting the car off and back on again.
4. Last week the car just quit running while my wife was in a parking lot. She had plenty of gasoline, it was very strange. It hesitated to start up afterward, but all is normal now.
5. And a few weeks ago our back-up assist (not a camera) system shut-down. There's a message on the gauge cluster about it. The LEDs in the rear that assist you, are simply stuck on (a few of them) and it does not "beep" as you get closer to an object while backing up.
6. We have experienced the Torque Converter Shutter, but its has been very infrequent and was happening more at 10K-20K miles than it is now. I have an extended warranty and I'm watching that issue closely.
My biggest overall complaint about our Pacifica is the weak air conditioning system. It makes a lot of noise, but does't blow out air with any gusto. I also most wonder if some of the ducting is partially disconnected.
