2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring Fwd 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
Review
I recently purchased my first Pacifica and love it. There is room like a van but stability like a sedan. Everything is at your fingertips and I average over 21 MPG. Storage is phenomenal and the ease of getting in and out helps when going anywhere with my dad. Everyone is impressed with its stylish look and the stereo rocks

2005 Chrysler Pacifica Fwd 4dr Wagon (3.8L 6cyl 4A)
Review
The car is decent. Nice style and plenty of room for a family, but I must have a lemon. I have had my ABS sensors in all four wheels replaced 2 times and my axle has broken twice, for no reason, just city driving, to the grocery store and mall. The first time I had the problem with the ABS sensors the car was only a few months old and its happened every year. Now I am working on the 3rd time I must have these sensors changed and they have no clue why I keep having this problem. Of course, now the car no longer has a warranty and I have to pay for it. DESPITE the fact that the same work has been done 2 other times. Just beware and be cautious.
Favorite Features
Interior space, safety features.
Suggested Improvements
Please fix the problem with the speed sensors, I am not the only one who has had this problem...after spending time in the service department waiting room talking to others, someone needs to figure out how to truly fix this problem. Reliability is highly questionable.

Review
I had a Ford Explorer XLT and I wanted something smaller but still big and this did it for me. I like the gas and the controls on the steering wheel. I love the space and the truck lots of leg room and very comfortable. Could have done better about the backup view. But I can work it.
Favorite Features
I love my controls.

Review
I loved the car when we first bought it, but have had the oil consumption problems that others have talked about. At 3000 miles, the oil is completely gone. The dealer replaced the top half of the engine, but the problem is still there. Chrysler said it is normal to have oil consumption like that. They said there has been issues, but have no idea where the oil is going. I had a 96' Jeep Cherokee that had 380,000 miles and never burned an ounce of oil. Seems to me Chrysler should deal with this problem. At 3,000 miles the engine clicks. I loved Chrysler vehicles, but will never buy another one.
Favorite Features
The interior is great. Spacious for my family.
Suggested Improvements
Oil Consumption!!!! I have never had a vehicle use a drop of oil, but it uses 5 quarts in 3000 miles. Thats not right.

Suggested Improvements
Maybe a little taller stance

Review
The visibility on this car is terrible. Two of the ABS sensors went on it within 2 months of owning it. Anything you get on the seat stains because of the material. You cannot just steam clean it yourself. It stains worse. When stepping on the gas (at times) the RPM goes up to 4 and the car hesitates too much. I heard this is due to the new engines that have been put into these models.
Favorite Features
Plenty of leg room for the back passengers.
Suggested Improvements
Re-design so visibility is not such a problem and when the back windows are down it does not hurt your ears. Put an engine in that can give a little more power.

Review
I have been driving Chrysler products since I was 17 years old and am now 56, this should tell Chrysler how happy I am with their product. My family of four have always and will always drive a Chrysler. It is a shame that Chrysler will no longer be making this vehicle. Where is Chrysler head? Bring back Lee Iaccoca maybe he can make the big boys understand that this is what people want. This is a mid-size SUV and there is nothing else but the larger SUV-Aspen. Is Chrysler working along with the gas companies? For those of you with a Pacifica inform Chrysler not be stop making this vehicle.
Favorite Features
Everything about this vehicle is excellent.
Suggested Improvements
Write to Chrysler and let them know not to stop making this vehicle.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica Touring Fwd 4dr Wagon (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
Review
Purchased this vehicle as high mileage fleet, and have very few complaints. The interior is comfy, the storage capacity positively huge. I've had one burnt out turn signal and a wiper replacement in the year I've owned it so far and it's handled, all the weather Indiana could throw at it.
Favorite Features
Features, features, features. Absolutely mammoth fold down storage space. Excellent crash ratings.
Suggested Improvements
A bit sluggish on hard acceleration, gas mileage is so-so; Neither item comes as a surprise given the class of vehicle, however. Rear visibility is sparse, forcing a bit extra care with lane changes.

Review
Overall I think that you cant beat what the Pacifica offers to a family being small or big. Saftey and comfortability is big in my book. The Pacifica offers this and then some with its SUV sporty look. And with a pinch of class, it offers self comfidence and worth.
Favorite Features
Bucket seats. Cd player. The Chrysler classy look and the high elevation of a SUV
Suggested Improvements
The stereo could have a better sound quality.

Review
I love this car. It looks great and handles well in all types of weather. I've driven on ice and snow, wet roads and black ice. It still handles like a dream. The car is easy to enter and exit, making it perfect for me to take my parents with me and still haul groceries and purchases. The steering wheel controls are so easy to use and keep my hands on the wheel. The front seats adjust to the most comfortable position easily. The back seats fold down to allow me to move bigger objects easily. What can I say - I love my car!!!
Favorite Features
Comfortable, smooth ride. Good for long trips. Looks great! Easy in and out with plenty of hip room in the rear seat.
Suggested Improvements
Not so great on the fuel efficiency. Not easy to change lanes or back up.
