my 2019 pacifica hybrid's infotainment system is a disaster, dvd/usb control is randomly available, have to turn off car entirely 30 mins to have a chance to restart it
So you basically took video clips from a bunch of different TH-camrs and didn't give them credit. Also, there is a huge difference in reliability between the Hybrid Pacifica and the regular gas version. The Hybrid has had issues with the battery. The gas version obviously doesn't have this issue. Lots of people own this car and love it. The Sienna rides like total crap. It struggles with a car full of people or going on an incline. The inside isn't nice either. Pacifica is much nicer in every way.
By checking Consumer Reports, I find out nearly 20,000 Pacifica Hybird(PHEV) were indeed recalled due to defective batteries provided by LG. Recall occurred respectively between April 30, 2018, and Oct. 26, 2021 and between Aug. 12, 2016, and Aug. 7, 2018.
I just rented a hybrid pacifica and I Loved it. I drove to Fl from PA and back. Incredible gas mileage and Epic stereo. If I did not need a truck for my profession, I would For Sure get one of these.
We can only tell you about our 2021 (non-hybrid) Pacifica AWD lease, after 3 years and 61,200 miles, mostly on back roads. The only issues we have noted are (1) the steering creaks on startup, while backing/turning out of driveway in cold CT weather, and (2) the transmission just started to intermittently remain in a lower gear momentarily, before returning to normal drive (at 61k miles). Other than these two minor issues, we have had no other issues and really love the comfortable ride, roomy (4' x 8') cargo handling ability, sporty feeling steering, and internal quietness. So much, that we are currently in the process of leasing another (2024) Pacifica. This time it will be a hybrid, so we can save on significantly improved gas mileage, We can only hope that all the issues mentioned in this video do not truly represent what can be expected of the 2024 Pacificas.
Sporty steering??? My 2108 Pacifica transmission downshifts extremely low when strongly accelerating on flat roads, and moderately accelerating going uphill, and then sometimes hunts for the correct gear. It has only 38,000 miles.
You failed to mention ANOTHER Major issue with this pile of crap car (I've had one since 2021). The Auto Stop Start system. The warning light comes on continuously telling you the system is unavailable. Dealer service and repair shops have no idea how to fix. So they replace both batteries, which only keeps the problem away for a couple weeks, then it's back again. I could write a 10,000 word essay on why to NEVER buy this vehicle, but i need to take mine BACK to the service center tomorrow so i don't have time. Worst headache of a vehicle in history.
Glad mines is running well after 2 years , bought it used w/64 k.. I would not be saying this.. I own Toyota but if your talking power and storage no competition.. I would bet money some of these faults would be negligible customer… this guy is trying pretty hard sienna vs Pacifica or Voyager like night and day with their magical 4 cylinder engines😂. I love 4 cylinders but not on vans no.. I get 26/28 highway.. 245 hp vs 287hp with 87 grade
We now own a 2023 Pacifica which we do enjoy however the transmission does not shift properly and we are told by the dealership that Chrysler is working on updating the software and that they the service department cannot find anything wrong with the transmission . However I have become aware that transmission issues with the Pacifica is nothing new . What can I do if my new van is not running properly but I am not able to find anyone working for Chrysler to fix it.
sell the car while you can. Made a mistake by not doing it. after 5 years your transmission will go down and your warranty expired. not just transmission but coolant will leak and the techs in dealership will never know. ChryslerCares is the worst. I am giving you the best advice just sell it
DO NOT BUY A CHRYSLER PACIFICA> I have a 2020 Chrysler Pacifica hybrid I was on the freeway and shut down completely, very dangerous situation, the engine service light come on, it has been in the Chrysler shop for a moth, now they are going to replace the transmission. This happened after a week of purchasing the vehicle.
Same situation on our 2022 Pacifica. It turned off twice while driving down the road. The first time the dealership replaced the battery module, and the second time they replaced the transmission.
Shit that happen to me last week with my 14000 mile Ford Maverick. 2023. I ended up renting this minivan for two days. So going to sell my Maverick and I want a minivan. But I wont buy a pacifica
@@seatime674 Interestingly, I find out the price of used Pacifica Hybird(PHEV) 2023 (44K miles) is even cheaper than Pacifica Pinnacle 2021(35K miles), neraly $10,000 gap which is sufficient to explain power system reliability.
I am only renting a hybrid Pacifica while my 2019 gas Pacifica is in the shop from an accident, so I can’t speak to the Hybrid. I love my 2019 gas Pacifica. Unless the 2024 has changed how the Adaptive Cruise Control is used, this stuff about it being difficult to turn on or unreliable is complete baloney. On the 2023 rental, it is the exact same operation. Yes, you have two different buttons, adaptive cruise control or regular cruise control. To say this “doesn’t make sense” is a pretty nonsense statement. Why wouldn’t you have two different buttons? Some people like ACC, while others prefer normal CC. Talks about forums being “full of” unhappy people complaining are fallacy arguments. They don’t take into account that manufacturer forums are pretty much always full of complaints. People who are satisfied rarely go into forums like this. Questions and complaints are the primary function of such forums. This whole video seems like little more than someone who dislikes this vehicle for their own reasons, then filled 10 minutes of confirmation bias into a video.
Stop taking it to the dealership... They replace all sensors with old ones or Chinese parts. Also if you buy something that's $60k why let someone else fix it.... That's like giving your wife to the next guy so he can fix her.
I have a 23 Hybrid Pacifica and the UConnect issue is annoying, but not horrible. When it stops playing, shut it off and restart it and press Play. There is a legal firm that is lining up clients for this issue, and I have been in contact with them, but I'll hold off doing anything as yet due to the locality of the hearing(s) - Michigan or Delaware. Otherwise the vehicle has been good so far with great handling and I am saving a lot on gas with filling up once in 35 - 43 days. The electric bill has gone up $30/mo. to recharge it daily.
@@sclawgesableso, in digging, I’m able to find information on the Michigan class action, but not the Delaware. Anything you might be able to do to point me in the right direction would be greatly appreciated.
had a 2017 and we are sitting at 71k well maintained. The model is garbage and Chrysler claims no responsibility. The Dealer says they have seen a ton of these between 60-100K miles with new engines needed. They didnt even want to pull it apart to find out because they already knew... Complete crap.
Shame on you, Chrysler! Discontinuing the Caravan and giving the Voyager name to this horrible piece of plastic crap! I want to see a revised Caravan for 2025. The Caravan with its pentastar hood ornament and pentastar V6 engine block IS classic!

You just got a problem one, I've had the '18 Ice for 5 years and love it I wouldn't own anything else, the Hybrids are nightmares

I have a 2017 Chrysler Pacífica Limited with no issues so far. I Love It. And Planning to buy the New 2025 Pacífica Pinnacle.

We love our Pacifica no problems
What year did you buy?
And this is based on what? No sources or very vague. No stats, just accusations, no value
Hey! its on the internet so it must be true! computer generated narration has got to be true!

Doesn’t the Pacifica have an 8 speed transmission? And it is essentially a BMW transmission?

I love my Chrysler Pacifica...the only issue I have had is the UConnect system that has gone on the fritz so now I need a new radio
Happened to my 2019 11 months after getting it, but it was in warranty and they replaced it.
Same with my 2018

@@azharahmed7588 gas only
The issues can be fixed by the connector in the glove box.
I have all this issues in my car 2021 hybrid 😂
Honda has unreliable transmission too.
Yeah I'm going Sienna.
Good luck trying to get your hands on one! That's why some buy the Pacifica...
Rebate for the Pacifica. 13k under msrp. Could not get any price release with the Siena
Sienna’s drive like shit so have fun being stuck at the bottom of hills and having a shitty interior.
@@Hyrodeniamandibulata dont buy it.. terrible experience.
