Engine Burning Oil Problems of Chrysler Pacifica

While driving my Pacifica at 60 mph the vehicle suddenly jerked and the check engine light came on and the engine was reving high so I slowed down and it was tacking at 6000 rpm while only going 40 mph. I stopped and turned the engine off. When I restarted it it shifted normally. A few days later it did it again. Then it did it twice in one day. I took it to Chrysler and they said there was internal damage and they wanted $1000 just to drop the transmission before they fixed anything. This accurred when the vehicle had 80000 miles on it. When it only had 36000 miles the engine threw a rod and I had to spend $3000 for a new engine. I've since learned that Pacifica's burn a quart of oil about every 1000 miles. I would have checked the oil more often had I known this. I traded it in rather then replace the transmission. But not on a chrylser.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the vehicle was burning excessive amounts of oil. The vehicle was taken to an authorized dealer but the dealer was unable to determine the cause of the failure. The contact called the manufacturer and filed a complaint. The contact was informed by the manufacturer that the oil consumption rate was normal and provided no further assistance. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 69,500 and the current mileage was 77,146.

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!!.

Car burns way to much oil could result in blown engine. . . Should not have to add oil every 100 miles when there is no leak.

2006 Chrysler Pacifica using over a quart of oil per week, there are thousands of same complaint all over the internet with the same response that I have received from Chrysler dealers. "1 quart per week or 1 thousand miles is a perfectly normal oil burn off rate" this is a serious safety issue and financial issue especially involving a car this new and it started at 37,000 miles. The car is not leaking oil, it just disappears and from other stories I have read it says that the piston rings do not fit the engine cylinders. Correct me if I am wrong but couldn't this problem cause engine failure or fire. Not to mention leave a person stranded after the engine blows.

I brought my 2005 Pacifica in for the engine light coming on to the dealership where I bought it (ancira). They cleared the memory and gave it back, it immediately came back on when I picked it up so I left it. They did some things to the engine to fix it. The engine began burning oil after ancira dealership serviced it for engine light problems. I brought it to boerne Chrysler superstore because I did not appreciate how I was treated at the ancira dealership. The engine was replaced at the boerne Chrysler superstore but now leaks oil. I would like Chrysler to buy this vehicle back because it has done nothing but cause us problems. I am surprised I was not stranded for it burning oil. I have 2 small children and the thought of it possibly leaving us stranded is frustrating. We purchased a new vehicle with the expectation of not having these serious engine issues. The least Chrysler could do is reimburse us the $100 copay because it is under the extended warranty now even though the engine problems were occurring under the beginning full coverage warranty. We have purchased two Dodge trucks and this vehicle and all of them have had to be serviced before 40,000 miles. We have lost faith in Chrysler/Dodge and will no longer consider purchasing one.

I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in michigan in 2006 and imported into canada. The vehicle has 31,000 miles on it and the engine is burning oil rapidly. I noticed a noise coming from the engine and found the oil level to virtually not appear on the dipstick. The check oil light never came on. This could have led to the failure of my motor while I was driving. I have also had a cylinder misfire and spark plugs replaced due to this.
