My wife got a Pacifica as a rental a few months ago after she got rear ended. That thing was actually pretty nice, had a lot of good features and was really comfortable. Although we didn’t have to maintain it but I was actually surprised at how nice it was
We just had one as a rental and it was surprisingly nice. I mean it was a minivan, so tempered expectations, but it worked for hauling 6 people around in comfort. Funny to say too but I have never seen so many Pacificas as I did in Florida.
There’s a reason it’s stuck around. I’m actually surprised by the reliability ranking. They’ve been making that 3.6L/9-speed combo forever and has a good reputation in other vehicles.
The 9 speed is shitty and Honda stopped using it anywhere possible and fixed the software better than Chrysler ever has. I still love my van but it shifts so hard it feels like I get rear ended at least once a month.
Yeah it’s weird because CR basically says it has average reliability
We expect the 2024 Pacifica will have about average reliability when compared to the average new car. This prediction is based on data from 2021, 2022, and 2023 models, plus the Chrysler brand scores.
Test drove the the Pacifica and the Oddessy, bought the Pacifica, the Oddessy, even the top of the line one, felt and looked cheap. We’ve had the Pacifica for a year and I love it
Chrysler. We make one car and we are the absolutely worst at it.

And the 3.6L/845RE(ZF8) before that.

Well… they aren’t wrong… Our brand new Pacifica has already been in the shop twice and has less than 1400 miles.
For what?
It’s a pretty cool car tho, hybrid, tech loaded, nice to drive
Don’t worry, Chrysler would’ve more cars again, their French families would offer the cars for them.
However, the brand still probably wouldn’t get better reliability score but better than just only selling one car.

The Pacifica hybrid ain’t to bad, I drive one at work occasionally to deliver stuff and it honestly is kinda nice
Which is a shame. The Pacifica has the best feature set of any minivan available. The middle row stow and go is amazing. Infotainment is top notch.
The pre 2018 transmission is a hot mess, though. We have to do an ECU reset every few weeks or the shifting because very jarring
