Pacifica Sunroof Cancelled by DC

Discussion in 'Pacifica' started by Bill Lillycrop, Dec 1, 2003.

  1. I had a Pacifica on order with the sunroof, but got a call tonight from
    the dealer saying that DC was cancelling my order as they weren't going
    to make it with the sunroof any more. The dealer offered a third party
    after market add on.

    My concern is why isn't DC making the Pacifica with a sunroof any
    more???

    Has anyone else heard about this and know why?

    I'm leary about adding a third party.

    Don't use a 3rd party sunroof. They are leaks waiting to happen.

    Perhaps one of the senior executives (if any Americans are left) had vivid
    recollections of the 76 Aspen/Volare Fender fiasco. May have gotten wind of
    a possible sunroof defect and ordered a halt to production as opposed to
    what was done in 76?? This is pure speculation here.

    The one thing I noticed about sunroofs on Pacificas I looked at on the
    lot is the ceiling liner around it was really flimsy attachment-wise.
    Maybe CHrysler noticed the obvious defect in design.

    yep they are trying to lower the price of the Pacifica, and are deleting
    many standard features, third row seat, sunroof etc....

    The low end version was always planned.

  7. The dealer called last night and said it was a supply problem. They
    apparently ran out of them (hard to believe considering the number of
    Pacifica's I've seen on the road). No idea when they were going to resume
    production.

  8. Did he really say that Chrysler was not going to make sunroofs
    anymore or did the dealer really forget to order the car with a
    sunroof??? I would NOT put an aftermarket sunroof in a Pacifica. My
    opinion.

    call dc yourself may be the dealers way of getting the car you want off
    their lot by installing a asc roof

  11. I just got my 2004 AWD Pacifica on Friday the 5th of Dec. I ordered
    it October 25th and I ordered the sunroof. The reason it took so long
    to get the car was because the plant was down the two weeks after I
    ordered it. It was run November 25-26-27th. It HAS a sunroof (really
    called a MOONROOF) in it.
    Good Luck to you.
