| Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
For the most part, my 2005 Touring has been a good buy for me. I currently have 116,000 miles on it (used for work and personal driving) and had some minor problems (see Con for details) but has stood up well considering the wear and tear I make it go through. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
Yes there are cons, but with anything you buy, there are chances you take when you sign at the bottom line. I am Devry trained, as well as a technician, so I was able to correct the things the inept Chrysler tech's just can't.
I did have head light failure, so I purchased a HID conversion kit, and bypassed the light trigger from the power dist. box to my homemade light trigger kit (12V relay unit- direct load power from the battery). No problem since, and have had to replace the front ABS wheel sensors, and front struts are now due and I just replaced all 6 of the on plug coils.
Brakes I just did for 1st time @ 108,000 miles- not bad! 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review:
Over all, my wife and I are planning to keep this car until hell freezes over or it just up and dies. The seats are still comfortable (and all 4 are heated leather) as well I think the 3.5L has more torque and any other I tested b-4 buying this car. I change the oil @ 3000 miles, trans fluid @ 35,000 miles. If you maintain it, and don't drive stupid, it will return the favor. My next car, should it come to it, will be a similar wagon style. |

The style, the heaviness - feels solid - the interior is beautiful, I have a DVD in the headliner for rear seat viewing. The custom wheels that came on the car are nice - nice looking and overall driving vehicle. The sound system is great. Heated seats are awesome.
To the person who reviewed and is having problems with brakes - I have almost 99K miles and have NEVER replaced the brakes. The rear still has 80% and the front still has 60% pads. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
The 2 broken motor mounts which seem to be a major problem although Chrysler hasn't issued a recall. Mine are on back order. Chrysler dealer won't use after market parts - the motor mounts are available after market. According to my dealer, "they can't find anyone to manufacturer motor mounts for this vehicle for Chrysler". I have extended warranty which is about to run out and no motor mounts. I'm concerned because of the weight of the vehicle that the good mounts that are left are going to snap and it will cause a catastrophe.
Rear/backing up visibility is pretty bad in these vehicles.
Can't have windows down while driving because of the unbalanced air distribution - loud noise that hurts ears. 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review:
Really like the vehicle overall. |

Pretty much everything. It handles great for a vehicle this size. The all-wheel drive system is incredible. You can tell Mercedes had something to do with that. Very comfy ride. I have a family of six and it can handle the load. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
A little more power and better MPG's. 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review:
I plan on keeping my Pacifica for as long as it holds up. Haven't had any problems as of yet. |

I like the interior and exterior.
I live up north and it's great on ice and snow.
It's solid. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
Very few problems until the warranty ran out. THANK GOD I bought the extended warranty. I have had over $4,000 worth of work done in the past 6 months.
I didn't like the very large blind spot so I bought little round mirrors at Walmart and stuck them on my review mirrors. (Quick and cheap fix.) I also don't like how high up the back end sits. You can't see anything directly behind you. 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review:
I would but another one for the safety value; however, I would trade it off at 50,000 before the warranty ran out. |

I have a 2005 Pacifica with 40,000 miles on it and have no complaints other than there are no lights on the steering wheel where the cruise controls are. At night you have to feel around for what you want if you don't just know where they are. They are not lit up. :( Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?

Everything but the MPG.
The room, the handling, the ride are really good.
The safety and the weight of the car are great safety factors I think. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?

the stylish sporty look to mine...tinted windows black with chrome in the right places...sporty rims on the tires....looks very cool!!! that is really what sold the car to me. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
where do we start...many mechanical problems...catalytic converter replaced 60,000 miles, both sides inner and outer tie rods replaced 72,000, abs system is now staying lite on dash with red brake light on too after a $700.00 brake job done less than a year ago, left side drive shaft replaced around 65,000 miles....and the list goes on...man i like the way they drive when everything is working...very comfortable ride...but who can afford the repairs to keep it on the road now a days???? 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review:
don't think i would buy another one...any time soon....hope i can trade it in and at least save my dignity. |

Love the way it drives and the room that it has. I have two kids and one on the way and I hate mini vans so this was perfect for me. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?

I Love My Chrysler Pacifica I bought for my girlfriend.
I have one kid and for that the car works well. Lots of room for all his stuff.
I like the chrome 17in wheels.
The Pacifica rides vary smooth.
For awd the car has lots of power. It's no race car but then again it is awd. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
I put a custom stereo in my 05 Pacifica and the factory amp is in the back to the car and you have to run a wiring bypass kit from the back to the front of the car.
When backing up you can't see too much behind you at night. I have the back up sensors on mine so that helps a lot! 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review:
My Chrysler Pacifica I like a lot I have had no problems with it! I am a automotive tech. I can't find any problems. The awd works well. The car works well for my girlfriend. I would buy the car again. |

I started out with a pretty loaded 2004 pacifica bought in early 2003. I loved the vehicle, it was an awd and city mpg was about 16 hwy 27. The interior was extremely comfortable with all the bells and whistles. For a vehicle that weighs almost 4k lbs you need to know that the vehicle was not a speedster, but more than enough power in city did lack a bit in the need to pass quickly lane, although cruising speeds it was very comfortable in every way. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
Now I have a 2005 Pacifica and changing the stock air filter for a K&N my city milage is a strong 18 with hwy at 28. To improve the vehicle 2 things needed to be improved upon if you had more than 4 people in the Pacifica most of the time. 1. more power not really more horses but more torque, and maybe a 5th gear. 2. once again if the vehicle was being used for more than a family of four the rear end needed to be extended 6-8 inches again even if you only had a family of 5 the last row seat one half could be laid flat to accomodate more room for additional space. 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review:
I know that 2008 is the last model year for a spectacular vehicle that I don't believe the new owners of Chrysler should throw in the towel on this vehicle. I really don't understand. i see them everywhere. I believe the bottom line in my opinion is that this was one of Chrysler/Benz vehicle sharing from both car makers became a vehicle very expensive to produce and the american public is not willing to fork out $45k -$48K for a top of the line fully loaded Chrysler Pacifica. If there was more marketing educating the american public on how much Mercedes Benz technology put into the Pacifica, and somehow got the Benz name in with the Chrysler name people would step up to pay for a very sophisticated verhicle, but when most think its just another Chrysler, the price tag is too high. I love my Pacificas and would hope down the road well maybe they may bring it back. Their replacing it with the Journey, come on the journey is a step up from the Caliper. |

Ease of handling, good looking vehicle and driver control area within easy reach. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
Better gas mileage! Also, no chrome around any parts inside the vehicle, tends to pick up sunlight which is distracting while driving. Also, somewhere to hand a purse or stash it out of view...under the seat perhaps? 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review:
Overall I would definitely purchase another Pacifica! |

I am surprised with just how much fun this vehicle is to drive. Being a "truck guy", but needing something more family friendly, this thing has been a real joy. Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?
Gas mileage isn't great, but this thing weighs a bunch! Other than that, I love it. 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Review:
It's a great alternative for those who just can't say yes to being a mini-van owner. |

There is not much i can think of. The 2007-2008 models take care of what i would change with the later models which is the back up cameras which are a must when backing up. although i did see some models that have back up sensors which mine does not i just have a touring edition |
