Low beam head light burns out at 34K miles. Replaced H7 (oem) lamp myself because dealer claims it is a maintenance item and not covered under warranty. Upon installing new lamp the other low beam lamp expired. I believe there is a defect and checked my car stats to verify any reports. I see I am not alone.

Headlights stopped working on 2004 Chrysler Pacifica, and the 2005 Pacifica was recalled for the same problem. But, the dealer said this vehicle was not covered under the recall because a different part was replaced. Also, model year was not part of the recall. The headlights would not work. Luckily, I was at home when the problem occurred. It appeared that this problem was related to the one mentioned in the recall and I should not have to pay for the repairs.

I purchased the car from carmax 08/03, with 500 miles on it. At the end of 09/04, with 2200 miles, I began to have problems with the fuel light. I took it in for service for the fuel light on 10/6, 10/11, 12/18, and 12/27/04. Each time service said it was due to a gas cap not being tightend, and or gas was being topped off. They didn't tell me they replaced a C34 fuel line clip on 12/18, and on 12/27 they replaced the egr system. I continued to have the same problems 1/11 and 1/17/05. On 1/17/05 they replaced a detector for general evap system failure/replace nvld pump. 1/25/05, service again for the headlamps not working, they found no problem. I was not told they did a recall on 10/06/04 on the auto transmission powertrain controle module. I found out, via the internet there was a recall on the headlamps, and they could go out anytime. I received another recall in the mail on the seat control module and drivers door handle, so I took the car in for both recalls 03/31/05. I got home that evening, and now I can't get into the car through the driver's side! this whole car is a lemon and should be recalled!

Headlamp failure. This car is 1 1/2 years old to us and has just under 30K miles. The vehicle has a recall on the 2005 model but not the 2004. They are calling it a maintenance item on my car.

Upon purchase of my new Chrysler Pacifica I became aware that the field of illumination with the low beam headlamps was quite reduced from any vehicle I've had before. This is of particular concern in rural driving where there are no street lights. Dealer has adjusted them (to no avail).

Upon purchase of my new Chrysler Pacifica in Sept. 03, I became aware that the field of illumination with the low beam headlamps was quite reduced from any vehicle I've had before. This is of particular concern in rural driving where there are no street lights. Dealer has adjusted them (to no avail) and manufacturer has been notified through a new purchase survey (no response).
