An asterisk (*) marks results based on small sample sizes.
General NotesHow do we select "competing car models"? Users of TrueDelta's car price comparison tool most often compare these cars to the Chrysler Pacifica.Models and statistics marked with an asterisk (*) have very low sample sizes. These results, visible only to logged-in members, provide only a rough estimate of car reliability.
Any result under 20 repair trips per 100 cars is likely a result of the small sample size, and should be expected to increase to 20 or so in future updates.
New models often start out with high repair rates, and then improve as the manufacturer identifies and addresses common problems. MethodologyOnly successfully completed repairs are currently included in the analysis. Routine maintenance, most wear items, recalls, and problems fixed with just a reflash or warning light reset are not included.

Could not pass on the life time warranty |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD |
Lifetime PowerTrain Warranty and Life-Time Max-Care extended Warranty was a major reason for buying this Pacifica. At 3 years and 74,400 miles we are very pleased we bought this Chrysler Pacifica Touring AWD. |

Earlier year models had very shaky reliability. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 253-horsepower 4.0L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Motor mounts are troublesome on Pacifica's and prone to failure. Every car has its issues though. This one is not a dealbreaker, just something to be aware of. Stick with Mopar replacement parts. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Battery needed replacing after 2 years. Interior starting to disintegrate. Paint chipping badly on hood. |
| 2007 | 4dr SUV 200-horsepower 3.8L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
Transmission problems from the 1st day. Constant shuddering, clunking when coming to a stop, sometimes doesnt shift into 1st coming to a stop. Intermittent starting problems Needs front power steering rack replaced - been waiting 2 months for part. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
I do not feel comfortable taking long trips in this car due to the transmission noises. I drive in the heat of Florida and often to Virginia. My last few trips I have rented a car just to not have the worry of a breakdown. |
| 2006 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
very high (not normal) oil consumption |
| 2005 | 4dr SUV 250-horsepower 3.5L V6 4-speed shiftable automatic FWD |
within 80,000 miles i already had problems with body molding clips and anchor nuts not working properly. also within 80,000 miles i had the front motor mount go out and they are $75 to $150 a piece just for one. plenty of other small mechanical gliches. |

Suspension was poorly engineered. Everything is expensive. $348 per shock absorber! $600 for A-arm bushing. $1500 for engine harness which fails when $347 engine mount fails. |
