📖Generation guide
First Generation • 2017-2026
The Pacifica was introduced in 2017, replacing the Town and Country. It features a single generation with a mid-cycle refresh in 2021, bringing enhancements to tech and safety features.
Known issues by generation
The 2017-2026 Chrysler Pacifica has some known issues that potential donors should be aware of. Early models, particularly from 2017, may experience transmission hesitation and Uconnect infotainment freezing. Additionally, sliding-door track wear and power-fail patterns are common in this model, alongside issues with the A/C condenser in early builds. For the hybrid variant, battery degradation can affect performance. Charities will inspect these factors during vehicle pickup to ensure a smooth donation process.
