Common Chrysler Pacifica problems
The Chrysler Pacifica is a popular minivan, but like any vehicle, it has its share of common problems that owners have reported. These issues range from electrical and engine problems to transmission and paint concerns.
One of the most reported problems with the Chrysler Pacifica is its faulty paint, which bubbles and prematurely peels off, exposing metal surfaces. This issue is particularly prevalent in the 2017 model year, and it can lead to rusting and further damage to the vehicle's exterior.
Another common problem with the Pacifica is its transmission. Cruise control defects, transmission problems, and carbon buildup are all issues that have been reported by owners.
In addition to these issues, the Chrysler Pacifica has also been known to have problems with its steering, suspension, and body/paint. Some owners have had to replace the nine-speed automatic gearbox, which can start to run jerky and dry before finally breaking down. The sliding doors can also open or close unexpectedly, which can be a safety concern.
Recalls have also been a problem for the Chrysler Pacifica. There are over twenty recalls for the Pacifica, with one affecting all model years (2017 to 2023) of the Pacifica hybrid. A wiring connector inside the transmission could short-circuit in some cases, resulting in a loss of power. The vast majority of recalls concern early-generation Pacifica models (2017 and 2018), hybrid or otherwise. These often affect only a small number of units, but they can still be a cause for concern for Pacifica owners.
In conclusion, while the Chrysler Pacifica is a popular and well-designed minivan, it has its share of common problems that owners have reported. These issues range from paint and transmission problems to electrical and safety concerns. It's worth noting that many of these issues have been reported in earlier model years, and that more recent models may have addressed some of these concerns. However, potential buyers should still be aware of these issues and do their due diligence before purchasing a Chrysler Pacifica.

Chrysler Pacifica 2022
- Date Of Incident: 2024-08-27
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-25
- VIN: 2C4RC1N74NR
- Components: ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
- Summary: The vehicle is equipped with multizone AC, and one day the REAR passenger AC system malfunctioned. This occurred during the heatwave period this summer. The AC would not turn off, after multiple attempts, neither through the infotainment screen nor the manual buttons. We tried all possible ways to turn it off and it would not. Furthermore, it was automatically set to high heat, and the temperature also could not be changed. It is available for inspection if needed. Our [XXX] child was the rear seat occupant at the time, and was on the verge of overheating. We took the vehicle to the dealership, explained the issue in detail, and also showed them the clear video evidence of the problem. Because the issue was intermittent, they did not inspect it nor repaired it because it was working fine in their possession. Manufacturer was also notified of the issue, and repeated the same dialogue as the dealer, which is, that they can not resolve it if they can not reproduce it. There were no warning codes, lights, or messages for this issue. After receiving the vehicle back from the dealer, unrepaired, the problem happened again the same day. It is now back at another dealer hoping to be repaired and the issue diagnosed/reproduced. This is making us very nervous if it happens again, during a freeway drive or a long road trip, our road safety and children's health is at risk. The dealership and manufacturer have not demonstrated urgency for this matter, and treat it as any other "intermittent" issue. They advised us to bring it back if it occurs again. Should we really be testing these diagnostics on the road with our children's safety or comfort at stake? Thank you for giving us the opportunity to bring this matter to your attention.

- Summary: My wife was driving driving the vehicle on October 21st, 2024. She was shifting from Park to Drive just after our children got out of the vehicle in the school parking lot when the whole vehicle froze up and the dashboard lite up with all error lights including the engine light. It was flashing "Service Hybrid Battery System", "Service Transmission", "Turn off parking brake" and the Vehicle began to power cycle on and off, then on with gas motor, then on with electric motor. The vehicle could not be powered off and it could not be shifted out of gear and the parking brake could not be disengaged. The tow truck had to drag our Pacifica onto the flatbed while it continued to turn on and off and cycle through the engine and hybrid system. This vehicle has 36,000 miles and just had the transmission replaced under the "Recall for hybrid transmission systems" This is the second time this has happened, it originally occurred at 7000 miles and after the dealer had it for a week we were told there was no problem. The dealer had to pull a bunch of fuses and the 12v battery to get the vehicle to stop turning off and on, the same thing happened this time when it was dragged off the flatbed at the dealer.

- Date Of Incident: 2024-07-18
- Date Complaint: 2024-10-22
- VIN: 2C4RC1N70JR
- Components: UNKNOWN OR OTHER
- Summary: The unresolved recall with no remedy stems from an earlier recall is entering its fourth month with no further communications from the manufacturer about the status of the remedy. There has been no compensation provided to car owners with increased carrying costs due to the manufacturing failures, decreased car valuation due to repeated failed attempts to remedy the same recall, nor indirect costs of extended stress and fear. I am unable to park my car by my house due to the fire risk, which has required me to buy monthly parking passes. I am unable to charge my car, which has caused increased gas costs. I previously paid to install a level 2 charger in my home, which I am unable to use. Additionally a concerning electrical noise has started to occur when starting the car or long after turning the car off. I am continually anxious about driving this car with my children, but I have no other choice to continually put all of us at risk.

I love this car! If it wasn't 15 years old, I wouldn't retire it. I'd drive it another 373,000 miles! That's right! My car has 373,000 miles and still going!! I have had to get a good bit of auto work done over the years, but nothing major and I am grateful for my Pacifica honey!

Vehicle year: 2007
I recently traded in my 2005 AWD Touring Sedan for a 2007 Signature Series Pacifica and I am blown away by the difference. While the 05 was nice, it seemed to struggle until it reached cruising speed. The new car, on the other hand, is so powerful that I have to be careful not to get a speeding ticket! The new engine is incredibly quiet and I absolutely love all the extras, including the GPS, back up camera, and warning system. Overall, I am absolutely in love with this car! I also want to give a shoutout to the excellent dealership, who I have now purchased 12 cars from.

Vehicle year: 2018
I wanted to share my experience with my Pacifica and write a review to help others who are researching their vehicle purchase. I absolutely love my Pacifica! It has been 1.5 years since I purchased it and I have had no problems. I am still impressed by the ride, fit, and finish of the vehicle. Before purchasing my Pacifica, I had never owned a Chrysler product and was a little nervous about jumping into the Mopar world. However, I am so glad that I did! When comparing the Pacifica to the Odyssey and Sienna, we found that it had the same (or better) fit and finish, ride quality, and options at a lower price. Although there are a couple of things I would change, such as the lack of paddle shifters or any other method to select specific gears, and the headlights which, like most new cars, have xenon headlights that look great but the light beams are very focused and don’t do a good job of lighting the areas along the sides of the road. However, I agree with consumer reports that xenon headlights stink. Overall, I highly recommend the Pacifica!

We've been driving the Limited Pacifica for about 6 weeks now and have already put 3,000 miles on it - and we all absolutely love it! The front seats are incredibly comfortable and make it feel like a luxury car. Both my husband and I enjoy driving it. The van feels very solid and there's no rattling at all. We did an extended test drive to make sure of this, given some of the reviews we'd read, but we had no issues at all. While I agree that the second row seats aren't quite as comfortable as those in the Honda or Toyota, our kids don't seem to notice or mind, and we love the stow and go option - it was a huge factor for us, and I've used it multiple times. In fact, our kids like the middle row stowed and sit in the third row. I've seen some people mention the lack of third-row TVs, but every kid can see a screen, and there are USB jacks in the rear for iPads. You could always buy iPad/kindle holders behind each seat if you wanted. We absolutely love this van!

I've been car shopping for a while now since my beloved 2003 Honda Odyssey finally gave up on me. While driving by a Used Nissan, I spotted the Pacifica and decided to test drive it. I even got my hubby and FIL to come check it out with me. The interior looked polished and the engine and transmission sounded strong. After doing some research, I found some negative reviews but also many positive and helpful ones. Upon inspecting the car, I found no rust and ran a car fax which confirmed that it was well-maintained by two previous owners. Despite needing a few minor repairs, I decided to purchase it for the great price of $1800 with only 157k miles. I've had it for almost a week now and so far, it's been great. It's important to remember that older cars won't sound or run like new, but with proper care, they can still be reliable. I'm happy with my purchase and will update on its performance. We got rid of our 2005 car due to a bad k frame and replaced it with a 2008 Pacifica which we still love. It has nice modern features for its age and the rear parking assist still works like a dream. It's a solid one-owner car with 140k miles and only needed $728 in repairs to run like new ❤️.
Are you having problems with your Chrysler Pacifica?
Trace Deckow 2025-03-29
Vehicle year: 2022
I have been experiencing some issues with my minivan, and despite my efforts to get a new one, I have not been successful. I have been waiting for a software update for six months now, but unfortunately, it has not been released yet. I have had to take the car to the shop seven times due to various issues such as trunk failure, uconnect problems, AC control problems, back up camera failure, steering wheel lights/controls failure, and radio control issues. I am disappointed that the car has had so many problems, and I believe it should have been classified as a lemon. I am documenting all the issues and will continue to work with FCA to resolve them. I have advised my friends not to purchase this minivan, but I hope that FCA will do the right thing and refund the lemons. Although the car is covered under warranty, it is highly inconvenient to keep taking it to the shop and trade our car seats. It is especially stressful for me as my husband is deployed. I would give the van zero stars if I could, but I would love it if it worked.

When I purchased my 2020 Pacifica Hybrid S Anniversary addition, the sales team at Gettel Chrysler Dodge assured me that it could tow and that they install hitches on them all the time. However, after reading the manual and checking Chrysler's website, I discovered that hybrids are not recommended for towing. I was disappointed and frustrated, especially since I had planned a big trip across the country. Despite my concerns, the customer service representative at Chrysler assured me that my vehicle could tow. Unfortunately, I have had many issues with my van and have not received any satisfactory resolution from Chrysler. Has anyone else started a class action case?
Nicolas Stokes 2025-03-26

The vehicle has been experiencing several electrical problems that the dealer has not been able to fix despite multiple visits. Additionally, the engine feels underpowered and lacks refinement. The seating is not as flexible as expected, and there are significant blind spots. These issues need to be addressed to ensure a satisfactory driving experience.
Elmo O'Conner 2025-03-23

After purchasing my 2007 Pacifica, I experienced some issues with the drive train and transmission. Although it took a few visits to the dealer to identify the problem, they were eventually able to fix it. Unfortunately, I have also had some trouble with the emergency brake and ABS light. I understand that there have been some complaints about the Pacifica, but I hope that my experience will be helpful to others. Overall, I am not completely satisfied with my purchase and may consider other options in the future.
Ronaldo McLaughlin 2025-03-20

I bought this car in February 2012, but unfortunately, I had to have the engine replaced within the first month of purchase. Thankfully, the dealership replaced it for free. Since then, I have had to replace the front motor mount, battery, starter, and alternator, as well as other minor things. Recently, I noticed that my oil level was low, even though I had it changed not even 2 months ago. I mostly drive in-town for short errands, so it was surprising to see it so low. Unfortunately, my engine is now making the same knocking noise that it was making before I had the engine replaced.
