As a parent of two I nod my head, vans are the best tool for the job. Can haul 4x8 sheet goods, I've had 12' lumber fit inside with the hatch closed and packed everyone and everything including a pet for long trips.
SS S You just summed up the comment I was going to post about my Odyssey. I just finished moving its utility is indispensable. And being in college, some of my friends even consider it cool to have a van. Who'd have though?
Lots of positives being talked about with the Hybrid version of the Pacifica. A major drawback for me is that you lose stow and go in the second row...where the Hybrid's battery goes. No way do I want to lose stow and go in the second row. I love having stow and go space in both second and third row, Something to think about for those considering the Hybrid.
My 2020 Chrysler Pacifica just turned 200,000 miles and has been driven in all lower 48 states. No major issues except the dealer charged me $600 to change a fog light. I still have my orginial brakes. Flushed transmission, changed spark plugs and I’m ready for another 100,000 miles. I would not own any other van, I love this van. I’m looking for another one. Oh, good mileage and tires last forever, about 85,000 miles
So lucky we haven't a single issue with our Pacifica. And we have manual 3rd row seating, I knew that was gonna be an issue,just look at the Ford Flex same thing same problems. Manual 3rd is the way to go. Love our Pacifica.
Until people realize one thing, if you maintain a vehicle very well regardless of make, they will last a long time. If you don't, it is your own fault for not maintaining the vehicle meticulously. As an experienced Service Advisor who worked for Chrysler many years, I can speak from experience how well maintained Chryslers lasted an awfully long time with very high mileages and just wear and tear repairs such tires or brakes. Personally, I have owned many Chryslers and none of them gave me any major problems until later on in their life. Bottom line is to maintain ur vehicle well. Yes there are certain vehicles that are an exception to the rule where no matter how you maintain it, it still gives you repeated issues. However, in this day and age that is only 5 to 10% of the vehicles these days.
Shahji Mangalam Very true but each car manufacturer does have their cars that aren’t reliable, even Toyota. I think Chrysler gets a terrible rep for poor reliable when GM and Ford aren’t much better.
Yes this is so true, I keep my 2006 Lincoln Town Car maintained, mostly oil changes with the exception I had to replace the rear suspension air bags & pump last summer other than that no issues. I'll eventually get the transmission serviced as I add more miles to my car & then a tune up eventually. Yes that's the key word keep up with maintenance as needed especially oil changes.
Thank you Sensible..... Years ago I belonged to a forum where people would complain about Chrysler reliability endlessly. Once you questioned them, guess who did not own a Chrysler.
People keep leaving comments about how bad Chrysler reliability is. I own a 2015 Dodge Grand Caravan and in 3 years not one problem. My sister bought a 2015 Honda CRV a couple month later and it has been in 5 times to the service department. My aunt has a 2005 Honda Odyssey and from day one is has had problems. I owned Toyotas for 26 years and yes I had problems. My last car was a 1998 Toyota Avalon and I had that car for 18 years. From the very first day it had electrical issues, but it came and went. Most of the time everything worked fine. I take very good care of my cars and so far I love my Dodge minivan. Before I bought one I asked people driving one if they liked the Dodge or had problems, most said they liked their Dodge and had very few issues. Do buy what you like. You never know if you will get a lemon or not.
You know what I absolutely love my 2017 Chrysler 200 LX, but after that car is paid for I am definitely eyeing the Pacifica. For me though certified preowned fully loaded model is what I'll be after. Chrysler has been doing good in producing fancy looking cars, they don't sell alot but thats okay i like the exclusivity feeling
@@kenhoward3512 The ZF 9 speed had a lot of issues upon launch. After a while they got the programming right. My 2017 Pacifica work van shifts just fine.
Kudos to chrysler!! i was freaking sad when they declare bankrupt at 2006? (not sure the year), but now no matter if they model availability is short, their cars are quite good (not the best world class)
King M Wu Always lease an FCA product. They’re not made to last in the long term. Everything made by FCA from Fiat to Alfa Romeo has some of the lowest reliability ratings in the industry. Drive it for 36 months then get something else.
The problem isn’t the engineering behind the vehicle on Chrysler’s. It is the manufacturing. What makes Toyota’s built so well is that if the people at the factory do a good job the can move up to Lexus. The people at Chrysler slap their cars together and try to push them to the dealers. I noticed that with my Ram but once the dealer fixed the problems from the factory the truck has been very reliable.
Scary front passenger side suspension clunking is either A: halfshaft (known problem) or B: mismanufactured lower control arm thats now loose.... possibly BOTH.
I had the same clunking/ clicking noise. It has transpired to numerous repairs, lies, and jumping through hoops. At this point and with legitimate reason, the vehicle is being purchased back under lemon law. It’s a shame, otherwise outstanding vehicle, poor half-shafts. I will miss it, to a degree. On a side note, there have been over 1200 reported cases thus far and seem to be mainly affecting very top trim level from the 2017 batch.
FCA sells more Dodge Grand Caravans than Pacificas. The Pacifica is a refined minivan, the Dodge is more budget friendly. I hesitate to say a discount off sticker close to 5K new can be found on the Grand Caravan.
Did I hear thirty thousand miles at the beginning of this video? How's the tranny? Chrysler minivan transmissions are notoriously horrible and undependable. Was it still shifting smoothly? I owned an '05 T&C and it had a shuddering clunk when it came to a stop. I do love the look of this new Pacifica. Vans are still cool...
I like the interior of this van and it's nice, but I went with the Grand Caravan because of the issues cars have the first few years of a new generation. This one for example, has problems that I am happy I avoided for the sake of getting the "latest and greatest".
If you make enough to cover the full $7,500 Federal Tax Credit it makes no sense not to get the Plug In Hybrid. It's cheaper than the Touring L & Touring L Plus & Limited. I would avoid the '17, lots of them being dumped and can be found for 20K with low miles. '18 has AA & ACP.
Despite what great features they may have when your Pacifica becomes a huge driveway paperweight from constant breakdowns you will be regretting it. It is a shame because Chrysler/Dodge turns out some great ideas
I have a 2017 Pacifica right as I comment it will be a year in July nothing but issues don’t kno if because I got it at 40 thousand miles but had a transmission issue around 50k mark then the back door stopped working warranty didn’t cover 800$ stow seat don’t stow had 2 bad leaks crank seal and Valve cover seal Alternator serpentine belt I’m at 75,000 miles right now only because I drive for Lyft and Uber but a Car shouldn’t have those problems at that mileage not even At 100,000 miles shit factory warranty was over at 60,000 miles I got it at 40 extended warranty doesn’t cover everything I think it was a bad deal for me $30,000 car Oh and I forgot to add the transmission is slipping again
Marktuyet What year is your Sienna? And what do you mean "a repaint"? Just curious about the issues, I have a 2017 Sienna with about 9500 miles and it's been trouble free for 10 months. My second Toyota, and I love it!
Marktuyet A friend of mine had his Sienna engine cease up just after the warranty expired. He had taken it in for several service appointments telling them the engine was making clunking noises but they said it was normal. When the engine ceased they wouldn’t cover any of the cost to fix the van. He was so pissed if he had to pay for a new engine. He immediately traded it in for a Pacifica. Not all brands are perfect!
I have too many issues with my 2011 Sienna. Hard to believe it's a Toyota . Complete repaint ..the entire vehicle .. steering column problems . All exterior rubber disintegrating . Plastic interior parts breaking . Second row seats stuck and can't remove ..the list goes on and on . It's just my wife and I and we are in our 60s and not pets . Maybe it was made in China .. lol! Pos
Donte Lindsey It drives better thanks to the lower centre of gravity. It accelerates much more smoothly. It is far quieter. It’s just all-around more pleasant and more refined.
Kevin F they gave the Hybrid version “heavy duty” suspension vs the gas version, for what that’s worth. The battery pack is only a few hundred pounds and the overall van is lighter than the outgoing T&C despite being bigger through the use if aluminium etc so I don’t see it as being a problem. I have to think any automotive engineer worth their salt would know how to deal with a few extra hundred pounds on a vehicle.
"Plug-in Hybrid version doesn’t have stow ‘n go seats though." The plug-in only gives up second/middle row stow & go, as the battery is there. In exchange, it actually gets beefier and more comfortable second row seats. As such, the 8th seat (middle second row) isn't an option. It does retain the 3rd row stow & go. For me, giving up a gimmicky 2nd row stow & go and uncomfortable 2nd row seats in exchange for a 33 mile all-electric capability, plus normal hybrid capabilities after that (average MPG rises from 22 combined to a whopping 32, insane for a minivan), it's so worth it.
roguedogx Chrysler is great, they just... don’t know, I’ve got no excuses. They’re like an American Alfa Romeo to me, reliability meh, but I have an unconditional love for them and everything they bring to the table
Adam Douglas LMAO - Chrysler is owned by FCA which also makes Alfa Romeo. They’ve gotten a lot better since the Italians took them over in 2010. Just look at how nice all of the interiors are on everything from the Dodge Charger and Chrysler 300 to the Chrysler Pacifica and Alfa Romeo Guilia. Sergio Marchionne has really turned Chrysler around into a respectable and most importantly profitable company again.
I know I know, haha! Chrysler and Alfa are technically related. But I'm speaking kind of how Alfa is to the Europeans. Something about them, and they are loved even if unreliable. That's what Chrysler is to America in my opinion. And yes totally, their cars since FCA aren't unreliable and are actually awesome vehicles. However the stereotypes of Chrysler equals garbage still remain.
Toyota Sienna is crap compared to the new Chrysler Pacifica. The Sienna feels like a tin can rattling down the highway with cheap plastics and outdated infotainment system. Toyota is overrated AF.
so after one year you have two issues . the sized up seats and squeaking suspension !!! and that is Chrysler in case you forget wait for it 4 more years and praise your self . with the on going non stop mechanic visit . other way protect your self with extended Warranty . that probably not going to cover everything that needs repairs . just do your self a favor folks. Don't buy it used. and if you can't help it. get extended warranty
East17A I wouldn’t want to own any FCA vehicle for longer than a 36 month lease. FCA makes some nice cars like the Pacifica, Grand Cherokee, Charger SRT Hellcat, and Alfa Romeo Guilia, but I wouldn’t want to deal with their terrible long term reliability issues.
gedaman specially when they get paid a lot money. Some people concider 25 or 30 thousands dollars not a lot of money for a car but in fact it is a lot of money to consider reliability
Within the first year already that many issues and you still recommend it !? Be serious! Chrysler is still just Chrysler, so sad! I won't even take one as a rental.
I rented one and used it for a week long trip to Florida from Texas. All of us loved it for many reasons. Ended up buying a 2019 Pacifica and so far we all love it. Yes...it could have problems and might not. But the same can be said for any brand. I owned a Toyota 4X4 and hated it. Had engine problems very early on after owning it. I have not owned a Toyota since...and never want to. All brands have their problems.
Mr. Ash Some people prefer inferior products. I like a modern minivan that doesn’t shake at highway speeds. I would never choose a shaky Sienna or overpriced Odyssey over the Chrysler Pacifica.
"I still prefer the odyssey or sienna" And I prefer a minivan that gives me 33 miles of all electric range and then a whopping *32 combined MPG*, which is 10 more than the gas-only version. Even higher in the city, where frequent stops and starts can lean more heavily on the electric portion. Chrysler's had it for the 2017, 2018, and the upcoming 2019 model years. Where's Honda and Toyota's response? Nowhere. Crickets.
Sorry Chrysler is the 30k mile wonder. After 30k everything notoriously falls apart and the value evaporates. Chrysler has a lot to prove after making complete crap for so many years. They can make great vehicle but they choose not to. That says a lot....
Look at the town and country and Grand Caravan. Those are built like tanks and 1st editions are still on the road today. FCA yes but minivans everyone knows they do it right.
Acuravigor47 Bingo. It’s one of the reasons (besides cost) that they haven’t really changed the Grand Caravan in like 7 years. There’s nothing wrong with it.
