Lol this is why I leased mine. I knew it would be a total shit show a few years in but the leases were so cheap it was worth it to be in a brand new rubicon.
It’s a typical FCA product of course it’s going to have electoral issues. That being said I haven’t had any problems with mine and I actually enjoy it way more than I thought I would……
Same, they really wanted me to go 39 months, but I didn’t want anything to do with an out of warranty Stellantis product.
However, on my Thanksgiving road trip it started death wobbling with less than 10k miles. I still feel fleeced even with the low lease rate because the shitty dealers have no loaners, and I know they’re going to keep it a while.
I REALLY wanted to buy a hybrid Pacifica when they came out, because it’s really the perfect family vehicle — all city driving can be done electrically, and lots of range for road trips. Throw in a surprisingly luxurious interior and it’s an amazing package.
Except for the Chrysler quality.
I came so close to pulling the trigger, my heart said yes but my head said “are you fuckin crazy?!”
So I bought a Sienna, which is why I’ve never been stranded or had the engine shut off mid-turn through an intersection. Or been advised by the manufacturer to no longer charge the battery and, oh ya, park it away from my house so it doesn’t burn it down while my family is asleep.
The Pacifica hybrid is great. I was dead set on getting the Sienna Hybrid when it came out, but I was not impressed. Additionally, the cost of that vehicle is insane. I was able to get a near top trim Pacifica for like 8k under MSRP PLUS the full 7500 tax credit. That put it almost in the same price range as a used Honda Odyssey. No contest.

I remember leases being offered for less than $200/month before Covid. How much was yours?
Damn! Are they trying to end democracy too?!
