 I had a bad vibration in the front . so i took it to the dealer since i had a factory extended warranty bumper to bumper., they said the car needed tires. so i changed the tire it still vibrated. go back now it is the rack & pinion bushings are bad . but i need to replace the k frame because a weld is broken. they say i broke it cause there are scratches on it. {not that vibration did it} so i paid to have a new one put in . 8 months later the motor mounts break and the engine drops 2 from the ground . thank god my family was not driving down a highway. so i take it back and they say because there is scratches on it again that broke the bushings .once again i ended up paying to have it fixed. *tr

 Tire pressure sensors on chrysler models are prone to valve core corrosion. this condition can result in valve core failure and subsequent, rapid release of tire air pressure. the valve core separates leaving the threaded portion of the core inside the valve stem. this condition has presented twice during attempts to inflate tires to proper pressure and once while driving. the latter incident resulted in the destruction of the tire. this issue is common in chrysler vehicles according to multiple tire repair facilities that i have made inquiries with. *tr

 Tire pressure sensor worked when i got a flat tire. when tire was replaced, mechanic said the sensor needed to be replaced. today i had the dealership replace the sensor on the tire that originally went flat, service writer called to say all 4 sensors needed to be replaced as none are responding! *tr

 I am only the second owner my 2004 pacifica for three months and have never owned a vehicle with this many problems. i only drove it two weeks when i started hearing a terrible rattling noise around the front right tire. i had my local chrysler dealership look at the car. they said i need to replace the rotors and sway links. we replaced those however the problems was not fixed. i took it back at which now it's pouring oil out from under it. they attempted to fix it however they do not. i took it back a third time they finally fixed the oil leak but the rattling and popping in the front suspension is still there. i have since taken it to an independent mechanic who assisted that the top and bottom motor mounts were completely broken. i replaced those and they seem to think the popping is possibly the control arm or bushings. only two days ago the air pressure sensor in the left front wheel broke and i have an engine light on. the engine light reader stated the car had an emission system leak. i can not believe a car this new could have all these problems. i am very unsatisfied with this automobile. i am in shock. chrysler should make this right. *jb

 My pacifica has had power memory seats repaired 5 times. my air compressor repaired x2. a dampener placed to try and minimize the noise from the a/c. the dash electronic module replaced x1. the wheel plastic covering just came off while driving. my tire pressure sensors have had to be reset x2. the exhaust made a rattling noise that had to be repaired. the right front bumper had to be tighten as excessive wind noise was heard by service dealer. it still makes an audible clicking, knocking type noise on acceleration that they claim to be unable to duplicate. it has a loud pop on sharp right turns. and the a/c still cycle abrubtly and loudly approx every 30-45 seconds. i have had the car since aug 2003 and chrysler refuses to accept responsiblity and allow me another vehicle without obtaining a lawyer. i clearly exceeds the minimum criteria for the lemon law. this vehicle has been a huge inconvenience to my family and i. chrysler states there is nothing to be repaired on my vehicle and will not help me in any way. i love the vehicle when it is problem free wich is rare and i just want them to step up to the plate and stop giving me the run around. it has been repaired way to many times already.*ak
