2006 Chrysler Pacifica has had oil changes every 3000 miles and went to have oil changed and all the oil is gone from engine. Leaking out of tail pipe. Engine seals are gone. Not sure what the repair process is yet but it seems there are several others who are experiencing the same problem. Chrysler needs to repair these vehicles. . . . .
My 2006 Chrysler Pacifica touring with the 3. 5 l v6 tends to burn excessive oil. It appears that a lot of people with this engine seem to have this same issue. Between my 3000 mile oil changes, my vehicle will lose 1-1. 5 quarts of oil. There is no visible leaks and we are not seeing any smoke coming from my tail pipe. Some websites have indicated the engine design being at fault. They say the engine gets too hot and remains too hot causing the oil to prematurely break down and turn to sludge. I started noticing the issue at about 60k miles. I'm now at 72k miles. I've contacted Chrysler and they indicated that 1 quart per 1000 miles is nothing to worry about and within manufacturer tolerances. This is ridiculous for a 2006 vehicle. . Read more...
