2007 Chrysler Pacifica — 4.0L

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2007 Pacifica 4.0L.

Body SUVEngine 4.0LTransmission Automatic 6-spd

The 2007 Chrysler Pacifica is a midsize SUV built on the Chrysler CS platform and powered by a 4.0L engine paired with a 6-speed automatic transmission, achieving EPA fuel economy ratings of 15/22/17 mpg across city/highway/combined cycles. This model year required 5.5 quarts of engine oil with filter using 10W-30 or 5W-30 viscosity grades per API standards. With 380 total owner complaints recorded across the model's 2003-2026 complaint history—placing it well below the peak of 1,482 complaints logged in 2017 and dramatically above the single complaint in the inaugural 2003 launch year—the 2007 Pacifica sits in the lower-middle range of the model's reliability trajectory, with power train issues representing the most frequently cited concern and notably zero recalls for this specific model year.

From the factory this vehicle uses a BCI 34 · 600 CCA battery, OE oil filter 05281090AB. Note the factory engine air filter is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 6,000 mi; spark plugs every 100,000 mi; coolant every 6,000 mi. The big-interval services (every 6,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2007 Pacifica sits in the declining tail of the first generation's complaint arc: after peaking at 1,244 complaints in 2005 and 726 in 2006, the 2007 model year drops to 380 complaints with zero recalls and only two investigations, a marked improvement over the 2004–2006 surge. TSB volume holds at 62, slightly above 2006's 57 but well below the 92–107 range of the peak years, while the 2008 model year falls further to just 102 complaints. The top complaint categories for 2007 — Power Train (65), Engine (44), Engine & Engine Cooling (26), and Electrical System (20) — mirror the powertrain-heavy pattern seen in 2005–2006, though the data does not specify root causes. Crash and fire complaints stand at nine and 13 respectively, consistent with the low-volume tail of the generation. Compared to the second generation's high-recall trajectory beginning in 2017, the 2007 model benefits from a cleaner federal record with no recalls issued. For a buyer prioritizing federal complaint and recall history, 2007 represents a comparatively low-risk entry point in the first generation.
