r/ChryslerPacifica

I have read some past reviews on here. I want something good quality and good in all weather (Michigan snow). But I also want something quiet.

Our Pinnacle came with Pirrelli tires and I feel they are pretty quiet. Part of the reason we got a Pinnacle was for the low cabin noise over the other trim levels. The last thing I want to do is put some noisy tires on.

I realize its probably impossible to get a durable tire in all conditions and have it be low noise....something probably has to give...but in the discussions Ive seen online very few people talk about noise.

Hello there,

After a loooong evaluation time we shall purchase a used 2017 Touring. 100.000km with LPG installed. We are currently finalising details. It has basic functions, though there are nicer ones out there.

I am a bloody noob regarding Chrysler as a German, so don’t hit me, ok?

I understand there are different trims and packages one could get. What about retrofitting parts ? Like automatic tailgate openers or 360 view?
Afaik one should replace or add parts and it should become visible in the Dash, right? So CANBUS it is?
Is it worth to just get what I want from the beginning or is adding them a hassle?

I understand they were under the FCA Group which is Stellantis. Parts can be tricky as they’ve withdrawn from the German market, so I am willing to mod the heck of this thing.

For my old Opel Insignia I was able to get my hands on Op-Com and install it on an old Laptop. Isthere also some sort of diagnostic software which also enables me to code or program parts I can get ?

I am just looking to get it a little bit nicer as we seem to have trouble finding good deals on the model within 200km of Bonn.

Somewhere on the forums it was mentioned the 2017-2020 models can share in between parts,
Like the Radio. As CarPlay seems to be integrated well after 2018, I may also doing that.

Any help or tips, preferably with links to the source, would be much appreciated.

Cheers

Good morning

I work at a Chrysler dealership with a bodyshop attached. I got a call that someone bought a 2027 Pacifica from a different dealership without a bodyshop

They said that they have a couple flat spot on the hood that don’t have any clear coat and when speaking to the place they bought it from they told them it was a known issue with the 27s. I was wanting to know if anyone else has seen this on their 2027 Pacificas or if the dealership was lying to try and get this customer off their back.

I do not have any photos of the damage as the dealership told this customer they would send them over to us and we have never reserved any kind of information from them regarding this issue. And the customer lives about an hour away from our bodyshop.

Hello all! I have a 2018 Chrysler Pacifica with around 130k miles. Recently, I have been having trouble with these codes: P000A 'A' Camshaft Position Slow Response (Bank 1), and P0394 Camshaft Position Sensor 'B' Circuit Intermittent (Bank 2). The car drives fine, but seems to go into limp mode when the engine light turns on (it drives well after resetting codes).

I used to have issues with a misfire, which disappeared now. One cylinder, the computer did not say which, seemed to turn of completely when the engine was on high RPM, and then only turn on after restarting the engine.

The only fix I've done in this part of the engine as of yet is replace both cam sensors. There was a big vacuum leak which was causing some of the issues, but both codes still show up after fixing it.

Any ideas what could be happening? Please feel free to ask if you need more info. Thanks!

FYI, if the AC is cooling in the front row but not cooling in the second and third row there is a leak in the AC line that needs to be replaced. It was intermittent. They took Chrysler two tries to get it right hope this helps.

Yesterday I noticed that some of the icons and colours on my main screen were different. I assumed there had been an update of some sort. But today, they have changed back. I have a 2024. Anyone else have this happen?

My screen is glitching (phantom touches). I’m looking to replace outer glass digitizer panel or the whole panel itself. I’m okay with DIYing but not sure where to buy the part. Any suggestions?

Bought 2019 with 36k. Been a great vehicle with little trouble. Replaced the radiator at 170k and now the steering rack is going and they want 4700 to replace it. Since that repair doesn’t exactly extend the life of the vehicle we’re moving on to an Acura mdx. Happy trails owners!

me and my wife are looking to trade in a Toyota Highlander for a minivan, and the most affordable option is the Pacifica hybrid. For those that have had one of these cars, what has your experience been? Have they been reliable for you?

Apologies if this has been covered but my searches found nothing recent. I've had my 2024 PHEV for about a month and the tires are at around 38 cold, close to spec. I was an early adopter with a Volt and the GM recommendations were criminally low, so badly that running spec pressure produced all the classic signs of underinflation - edge wear, chipping, more frequent blowouts, etc. After the community figured it out, most of us ended up running much higher PSI and not only dramatically increased efficiency but got way more life out of our tires.

I love efficiency, and I don't mind a stiffer ride, so I'm wondering, for those who pay close attention to tire pressure, what do you think is the best setting for efficiency? And what's the tradeoff like for tread life?

Hi! I was told my second battery is dead (its been a little over a year). I got a new main battery bc it was also bad, and at the time the person who changed my battery told me not to worry about the auxiliary battery bc it was just for the start and stop. My AC went out end of last summer and I didn’t get it fixed. Last week my main battery died, and the person who came to Charge it told me it is because the auxiliary battery, and I need both batteries changed asap. He also said my AC isn’t working bc of said battery. Is it true?
I don’t understand much about cars, and I’m in a new town where I don’t know many people or who is honest or not. This car is pretty new to me, so I’m just trying to figure things out with expending a leg…

My family is in the market to replace our Yukon which spun a lifter on a road trip, and right now a van looks to be the most attractive option in our price range (23k, give or take).

I've been browsing the posts here and elsewhere, and it appears that the majority of posts discussing catastrophic failures are from owners from the first 3 years. Since I'm looking at '21 or newer (Android Auto is a must), this eliminates the earlier range of models automatically.

That said, how prolific are the common failures from '21 onward? Specifically the Pentastar tick, the oil cooler, the head gasket, and things like that.

Thanks in advance.

As I have said, we just went from a '17 touring L+ to a '25 limited.

When we drive past a specific location (Gilbert Rd between Baseline and Southen in Mesa AZ) our van beeps at us. It is just one short beep/ding like a low gas warning. We haven't seen any light or message associated with the beep.

Has anyone experienced something similar.

AFAIK we are battling 1000 (12/12). It happens going north or south.

I am going to do some more investigating on Friday when I have some time.
