About the 2006 Chrysler Pacifica

The Chrysler Pacifica was a mid-size crossover introduced in 2004 to take advantage of the new CUV market. It competed with other crossovers like the Nissan Murano and was developed remarkably quickly. Unfortunately, the quick development of the Pacifica may have added to significant reliability issues, fuel economy problems, and relatively poor consumer ratings, and the Pacifica was phased out in 2008.

Assembled in Windsor, Ontario, the Pacifica was developed by Chrysler-DaimlerBenz and initially had a 3.5-liter 250 horsepower V6 with a 3,500 pound towing capacity, five seats, and a four-speed automatic transmission. Later models had upgraded engines. The 2008 model, for instance, had a 4.0-liter 253 horsepower V6. Fuel economy on the Pacifica was generally poor, hovering around 14 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. Both forward and all-wheel drive were available.

When the Pacifica was introduced, it was based on the aforementioned burgeoning crossover market and a concept minivan, also called Pacifica, that Chrysler had shown in 1999. The Chrysler-DamlerBenz development team created a fairly large vehicle that married a minivan interior to SUV control. However, there were issues; Chrysler overestimated sales of the Pacifica, which fell with later models. A poor fuel economy and generally poor reliability may have hurt the vehicle's reputation. It also carried a fairly high price tag. Ultimately, the Pacifica didn't meet the expectations of either consumers or Chrysler-DaimlerBenz and may have even contributed to the dissolution of the two car companies' brands.

Several trim options were available with the Pacifica, including the Touring edition, Limited edition, and a final Signature series. The Signature series had a sunroof, built-in GPS, and a DVD player, while the touring edition was popular for its extra seating and a luxury interior. Every model was available in front-wheel and four-wheel drive and all came with built-in CD players. Options included heated seats, leather, and an exterior rack.

The Pacifica was notable for its luxurious interior and its blend of minivan and SUV features. However, fuel economy issues and an underpowered engine plagued early versions of the Pacifica, as did the aforementioned reliability issues. The 2007 and 2008 models are generally considered to be the best of the series, as the 3.8-liter V6 and optional 4.0-liter SOHC V6 helped to overcome many of earlier models' flaws. The Pacifica was an especially safe vehicle. The IIHS awarded the 2007 a five star front and side crash rating and a Best Pick" award in frontal collisions

Safety:

In 2006 the Chrysler Pacifica won an award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety as the “best pick frontal”. In 2007, the Pacifica won a five star front and side crash test rating. The Pacifica received this award for being equipped with traction control, four wheel disc brakes with anti-lock braking system, all-row side curtain air bags, Electronic Stability Program, and tire pressure monitoring system.

Could Chrysler leave Michigan for Tennessee?

Tue, 18 Jun 2013

Detroit's Big Three could become the Big Two. According to an AP report in The Detroit News, state officials have been lobbying for Fiat-Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne to select Tennessee as the location for Fiat's joint headquarters with Chrysler Group LLC.
This weekend, Marchionne met with Tennessee governor Bill Haslam at a ceremony celebrating the expansion of a Fiat subsidiary plant in the city of Pulaski. The AP report does not mention any serious talks about headquarters relocation, only that Tennessee officials have been "working me over pretty well," according to Marchionne.
Fiat hopes to complete its merger with the Auburn Hills-based automaker sometime next year, and earlier reports have stated that the company is seeking $10 billion in financing to buy the remaining bits of Chrysler. If the company were to relocate, it would join Nissan and Volkswagen in having major American automotive operations in Tennessee. Of course, that whole "Imported From Detroit" thing would need to go out the window, as well.

FCA posts $716m profit in 2014, has big plans for 2015

Fri, Jan 30 2015

In practically every metric, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles announced growing worldwide earnings for 2014 in its latest financial release. The automaker sold 4.608 million vehicles globally for the year, a 6-percent jump, and total revenue grew 11 percent to 96.090 billion euros ($109 billion). Profits before taxes also increased by 161 million euros ($182 million) from last year to 1.176 billion euros ($1.3 billion). However, net profits did tumble by 1.319 billion euros ($1.5 billion) to a total of 632 million euros ($716 million). These figures put FCA slightly ahead of what some analysts expected. According to Automotive News, the company's adjusted earnings before taxes and interest of 3.651 billion euros ($4.1 billion) beat a forecast figure of 3.4 billion euros ($3.9 billion). Regionally, Europe is showing signs of a comeback. FCA lost 109 million euros ($123 million) there in 2014, but that was almost a triumph compared to the 506 million euro ($573 million) loss in 2013. According to Automotive News, North America played a major role in the company's success, accounting for 55 percent of its revenue. While these annual figures show growth, FCA is even more optimistic about its prospects in 2015. The company is forecasting shipments of between 4.8 and 5 million vehicles worldwide next year. It also estimates earnings before interest and taxes to reach 4.1 billion and 4.5 billion euros ($4.6 billion – $5.1 billion). You can read FCA's full results in PDF format, here. While this release focuses on worldwide figures, FCA US, previously known as Chrysler Group, announces its US results on February 3.

Ford tumbles to second worst in Consumer Reports reliability survey, list dominated by Japanese [w/video]

Mon, 29 Oct 2012

It's no secret that MyFord Touch has had its share of problems since being introduced, but the most recent reliability survey from Consumer Reports shows just how much this infotainment system has affected Ford. Just two years ago, the automaker was in the top 10 for the institute's reliability rankings, but since then, it has tumbled to the second-lowest rung just above dead-last Jaguar. In addition to MyFord Touch, CR also attributes a handful of new products that have had issues right out of the gate.
Compiled from 1.2 million subscriber surveys, this year's auto reliability survey heavily favors Japanese automakers, with eight of the 10 spots hailing from Japan. Toyota brands grabbed the top three spots (Scion, Toyota and Lexus - in that order) with Mazda, Subaru, Honda and Acura filling the next four spots. The only non-Asian automaker cracking the top 10 was Audi at number eight.
Audi climbed a total of 18 spots from last year, and Cadillac and GMC round out this year's top gainers breaking into the top 15. Helping Cadillac's upward movement, the CTS Coupe was named the most reliable domestic car. Lincoln, Volvo and Chrysler join Ford on this year's biggest loser list.
