I have a misfortune of driving one of these pieces of shit. I needed an accessible minivan and allowed the dealer to convince me Pacifica was as good as Sienna. On paper, it was. Worst fucking car I've ever owned. $60k before $40k conversion. $100k brand new car.
AC that barely works in 40°C heat. Transmission that doesn't shift. Gas mileage that supercars and tanks can compete with. Ride quality of a boat in rough seas. Trunk that randomly decides not to close. Knobs and buttons that get stuck. Fuel hole designed so poorly it takes me 20 minutes to fill up this piece of shit because fuel gun keeps stopping.
This is just shit I remember. List is a long, not even mentioning multiple recalls.
FUCK Stellantis. They should be forced to buy back all the garbage they sold, but instead they'll just get bailed out when they go belly up.
I owned a 2013 Caravan for almost 8 years. While it did get me hooked on the minivan as a general vehicle, it had constant AC issues and regularly got 15-16 MPG, no matter how gentle we drove it. Plus other issues. Ex-wife got it in the divorce years ago with ~90k miles on the clock, and I was happy to see it go.
Bought myself a 2008 Toyota Sienna with 230k miles a few weeks after the fact. 44k miles and 4+ years later, I still feel like I upgraded.
