Jeez Chrysler

Chrysler Pacifica hybrid 2018 had multiple recalls and the hybrid battery has issues. It failed to start after this last recall and Chrysler does not want to fix problem. Really disappointed. Have bought many cars in the past but this one I have regretted purchasing.

Great Van

I have a wonderful 2018 Pacifica Hybrid that I charge with a 7.2 kWh charging station that costs $300 with the optional weather tight receptacle and extra holster! It presently has 76,572 miles with absolutely no problems with anything. I enjoy 20,000 miles between oil changes (due to driving on battery power 50% of the time). I usually average around 28 to 32 miles per charge before the engine starts! Once the engine kicks in, I obtain around 28 to 36 mpg fuel economy using Top Tier gasoline! (Please Note, the first month I owned it, I was only getting 22 mpg). However, at the first month a competent dealer REPROGRAMMED the computer (netting the present mpg). You may be able to find a plug in hybrid that does better. However, you can’t find a seven (7) seat hybrid that is comfortable for six full size Americans driving long distances? Add in the fact that the floor is absolutely FLAT, the second row seats are fairly easy to remove if you need the extra storage! I plan on purchasing another one by the time I put around 100,000 miles on this one (only because that is the warranty on the high voltage battery in my State!). I usually go for weeks at a time without visiting a gas station. If I wanted to I could recharge along most major highways for FREE (if I wanted to wait around for an hour and a half (1 hour 45 minutes))! I hope they are able to increase the high voltage battery capacity in future models (Graphene battery, changing battery chemistry or allowing more of the existing battery to be utilized! I highly recommend this vehicle! Lloyd Mason ezstor1001@gmail.com

Chrysler irresponsibility

Chrysler sent out notice on February 2021 telling owner about battery can be caught on fire without offering any fix. Totally irresponsible. Last time I will buy anything from chryler.

Mechanically a mess

I live in Missouri. Car has been at dealer in Tx where we were vacationing since Feb. required part “May” come in April 28. It “May” fix the problem. If not it’s a “new transmission”. There is a battery recall that Chrysler has no idea when it can be fixed. Sliding door opens on its own. Techs four times have tried to fix. Etc etc. I want Chrysler to buy it back as a lemon. Did I say I’ve already had the transmission changed once?!!!

wave of the future

Plug-in electric hybrid, really the car of the future and only such in a mini-van thus far. Lovely handling and tide, very pleased. Traded in a 20016 Town and Country, this is the next version.

A joy to drive

I've only had the Pacifica Hybrid for about a month but so far I've loved it! It's so enjoyable to drive and the transition between electric and gas motor is smooth and almost unnoticeable. It's going to be really hard for me to drive anything but an EV from now on. The electric motor makes some noises that feel a little strange at first but you get used to it quickly. I can't really speak to the reliability as I've only had the van for a month or so (2nd owner, now at 30k miles), but it's looking good so far!

Best-handling car I've owned

This car is roomy, handles beautifully, has great acceleration and smooth braking. It has all the bells and whistles; it feels like a luxury car for a not-luxury price. I have loved owning this car.

Amazing luxury and fuel economy

Almost never use gas, enjoy the very high luxury level and utility of the minivan. Infotainment is awesome too. No other car has same combination of electric charge and this level of space and utility.

So far so good!

So much space! Now with two kids I don't think we will ever fill it!! The great gas mileage is also a huge benefit. Wish it didn't take 14 hours to charge on 120V, just need to install 240 so it will be done in 2.
