wow - i wish i followed these forums when the van was good (instead of just looking them up when things go south!) 2018 Pacifica, original owner, 67,000 miles (yep just outta warrantee), and got the P0305 cylinder 5 misfire error. Long story short, dealership service said blown head gasket. Actually, you'll want to hear this: Service center says, they'll need an hour to run diag, and look into the P0305 error, but i have to pay for the hour diag no matter what. Okay, fair, i understand. They call back the next day saying, "technician says that the diag is inconclusive; we need another hour". (i mean.. have you read these forums or watched any youTubes on this?) After questioning, I give them another hour. They call back next day saying, "still inconclusive.. we need more time, but we're not going to charge you for any additional hours except for the two". They call back just now saying, "they still not 100% sure, but looks like maybe a blown head gasket. we're gonna need about 13hrs of diag to tear down the engine and inspect gasket and flatness of head". what?! And yes, he said this is just in "diagnostic phase". After that, we move to "repair phase". And how many more hours is that?! What the heck is going on?! You know, i bought Chrysler because i really wanted to believe in them and that the marquee could be something good (like defending American motor, horray!) But this experience is just crazy. To read how many people have the same issue, occur around the same time - i'm just at a real loss here. I'll be $5000 in before they even start the repair! I really appreciate this forum and the OP (btigner12) for their experience. I'll try to connect w/
@ChryslerCares and see what's going on. I love the Pacifica (got 5 friends who all bought based on our recommendation) - but they're gonna all start calling me about this issue soon!!
