Extreme oil consumption have to put an xtra bottle of oil in every other week...dealership told me nothing they can do and its common on every pacifica... / ABS sensor problems -light kept turning on randomly and brakes fluttering randomly when trying to stop/ faulty engine temperature sensor- car overheated several times causing major smoke to billow out of hood had to replace sensor/ tie rod replacement before 40k miles/ now gas pedal sticking along with separate terrible engine noises-- sounds like struggling and making a hollow sound as if you are blowing into an empty glass bottle..no one can tell me what is causing it or how to fix it..nothing but a money pit with one problem after another! Very upset that chrysler is getting away with this while we all suffer and keep throwing our hard earned money out the window!

We bought a 2006 pacifica touring this car burns a quart of oil 1000 mile. Its like clockwork, I have to check it all the time!!!! Because it consistently burns oil. No vehicle with 37000 should do that we have a 2003 chevy with a v-6 with 137000 miles and it doe not burn near the oil if any. This need to be seriously looked at by chrysler my problem is at 37000 miles our warranty expired!!

Oil consumption problem with 2006 chrysler pacifica. My 2006 pacifica has 38000 miles on it and I am experiencing issues with oil consumption. I was told by the dealership that chrysler corporation believes it is 'acceptable' that a car with under 50,000 miles burns approximately 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles! This is absurd if you ask me! How can this be acceptable ? Another problem is that I've read from other blogs is that chrysler does not feel that this is an issue that warrants further investigation and many times, the underlying issue for the poor oil consumption is not found until a major problem occurs with the engine, and the car's warranty has expired, leaving the consumer to suffer the consequences! This is not only bad business but has to be bad for the environment, if a car is 'burning' oil that fast, where is it going? No wonder the world is suffering from global warming if automakers like chrysler and ford find that burning oil this fast is acceptable!! Please help! I know this must be a widespread issue. I've read many on-line comments of consumer suffering from this same problem with chrysler pt cruisers, pacificas, and others!
