VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO SERVICE. SHOP WOULD NOT WORK ON VEHICLE STATING THE DETERIORATION OF THE SUBFRAME WAS TO EXTENSIVE AND THEY WOULD NOT WORK ON IT. UPON CLOSER INSPECTION SHOWED THE FRAME IN A GREAT STATE OF DECAY, WITH SOME PLACES ONLY BEING HELD TOGETHER WITH THIN STRIPS OF METAL. THESE VEHICLES WERE RECALLED IN THE PAST FOR DEFECTIVE FRAMES HOWEVER NOT ALL WERE RECALLED AND THIS IS ONE VEHICLE THAT WAS NOT. THE MOTOR IN THESE VEHICLES WILL FALL OUT AND COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT WHICH COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR LOSS OF LIFE. THESE FRAMES ARE DEFECTIVE IN WORKMANSHIP FROM THE FACTORY AND SHOULD BE HANDLED BY THE FACTORY ACROSS ALL 2004-2008 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S AFFECTED BY DEFECTIVE EQUIPMENT KNOWINGLY INSTALLED BY THE FACTORY THAT WILL LEAD TO AN ACCIDENT AND CAUSE SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. THOUSANDS OF THESE VEHICLES ARE ON THE ROAD TODAY WITH OCCUPANTS UNKNOWINGLY DRIVING THESE VEHICLES WHICH ARE "TICKING TIME BOMBS". *TR

WE OWN A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH AROUND 117K MILES ON IT. MY DAUGHTER DRIVES IT. WHILE CHANGING THE ENGINE OIL ON IT LAST WEEKEND, I NOTICED SEVERE CORROSION (PERFORATION ACTUALLY) OF THE VEHICLE ENGINE CRADLE. THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CROSS MEMBER IS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH ON THE BOTTOM AND THE DRIVER SIDE IS ABOUT 70% RUSTED THROUGH. AS THIS CROSS MEMBER IS WHAT HOLDS THE ENGINE IN THE VEHICLE AND ACTS AS THE BASE OF THE FRONT SUSPENSION, I DON'T BELIEVE THIS VEHICLE IS SAFE TO DRIVE ANYMORE. SHOULD THIS STRUCTURAL COMPONENT FAIL DURING HIGHWAY DRIVING, I BELIEVE THE VEHICLE WOULD BECOME UNSTABLE AND UNCONTROLLABLE WHICH WOULD BE A HAZARD TO THE DRIVER, PASSENGERS AND OTHER MOTORISTS. YES, WE LIVE IN WISCONSIN (PART OF THE SALT BELT), BUT THIS AMOUNT OF CORROSION ON SUCH A CRUCIAL STRUCTURAL COMPONENT IS CRAZY! THE VEHICLE HAS ONLY BEEN ON THE ROAD FOR 14 YRS AND FOR ONLY 117K MI. I WOULD UNDERSTAND IF THE BODY STARTED TO DETERIORATE IN THAT AMOUNT OF TIME, BUT NOT A SUPPORTING FRAME MEMBER. I DON'T BELIEVE THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS PROPERLY TREATED AGAINST CORROSION, OR THE DESIGN OF THE CRADLE MADE IT SUSCEPTIBLE TO EXCESSIVE LOCALIZED CORROSION AND THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD LIABLE FOR REPAIRS.

CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICED MY CAR WITH A OIL CHANGE. I WAS TOLD MY CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO MOTOR MOUNT RUSTED. I HAD TO SIGN A PAPERS THAT THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, THEY CAN'T RELEASE THE CAR TO ME. FRAME IS ROTTED AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS AND WASN'T READY TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. I DON'T KNOW IF THIS PROBLEM WAS A RECALL FOR CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THANKFULLY I WAS TOLD BEFORE SOMETHING HAPPENED.

I HAVE CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2004. HAVE TAKEN GOOD CARE OF VEHICLE, NO ACCIDENTS. VEHICLE BEGAN SHAKING VIOLENTLY WHEN DRIVING DOWN ROAD. I HAVE BRAND NEW TIRES . HAD THEM REBALANCED COUPLE OF TIMES . STILL VIBRATING VIOLENTLY. MY MECHANIC COULD NOT FIND ANY PROBLEMS EXCEPT THAT ENGINE CRADLE FOR ENGINE IS BADLY ROTTED OUT WITH RUST. I LOOKED ON LINE FOR PROBLEM AND SEE THAT CHRYSLER HAD NOT PROPERLY COATED THE ENGINE CRADLE AND HAS LED TO FREQUENT PROBLEMS AND DANGEROUS DRIVING CONDITIONS, DUE THAT THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT OF VEHICLE. THIS IS OF NO FAULT TO OWNER. I DIDNT FEEL SAFE DRIVING A VEHICLE THAT THE MOTOR COULD FALL OUT OF. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR. A CONSUMER SHOULD NOT HAVE TO WORRY THAT THERE SEAT BELT OR AIR BAG MIGHT FAIL AND THEY DEFINITELY SHOUDNT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT THERE ENGINE FALLING OUT OF THERE CAR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, WHICH COULD LEAD TO A WRECK OR FIRE. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND CONSIDERATION.

I PURCHASED A USED VEHICLE FROM A LOCAL AUTO DEALERSHIP ON JANUARY 30, 2017. AFTER DRIVING THE VEHICLE EVERYDAY FOR ABOUT A WEEK I BEGAN NOTICED THE CAR WOULD SHAKE AND PULL TO THE LEFT EVEN WHILE DRIVING AT VERY SLOW SPEEDS.ON FEBRUARY 23, 2017 I TOOK THE NEWLY PURCHASED CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE MECHANIC ABOUT 15 MINS AFTER I DROPPED THE VEHICLE OFF AND HE INFORMED ME THAT MY FRONT ENGINE CRADLE WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND IF I CONTINUED TO DRIVE IT THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT AT ANY MINUTE. I RUSHED BACK TO THE LOCATION THAT MY VEHICLE WAS BEING SERVICED AND I WAS SHOCKED AT HOW BAD THE ENGINE CRADLE ACTUALLY WAS. THERE WAS AT LEAST AN INCH GAP INDICATING IT WAS BEGINNING TO SEPARATE FROM THE BODY OF THE CAR. I TOOK PICTURES OF THE DAMAGE AND EMAILED THEM TO THE DEALER THAT SOLD ME THE VEHICLE. I ALSO DID A QUICK INTERNET SEARCH FOR FRONT ENGINE CRADLE DAMAGE IN 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S AND CAME ACROSS NUMEROUS CONSUMER COMPLAINTS HAVING THE SAME ISSUES WITH 2004 PACIFICA'S. I ALSO FOUND CHRYSLER PREVIOUSLY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY TO RESOLVE DEFECTIVE ENGINE CRADLES FOR OWNERS RESIDING IN SALT BELT STATES AND VEHICLES WITH UNDER 150K MILES. CONFIDENT THAT MY VEHICLE QUALIFIED FOR THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I CONTACTED CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. I WAS INFORMED BY THE CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE THAT THE PACIFICA I CURRENTLY OWN DOES NOT QUALIFY TO RECEIVE REPAIRS UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY BECAUSE IT WAS BUILT IN JANUARY OF 2004 AND WARRANTY ONLY COVERS FRONT ENGINE CRADLE DAMAGE TO VEHICLES THAT WERE BUILT AFTER FEBRUARY 23, 2004 AND BEFORE MARCH 31, 2004.

THE FRONT SUBFRAME KNOWN AS THE "ENGINE CRADLE" IS SEVERELY RUSTING OUT. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE BY CHRYSLER ON 2004-2005 PACIFICAS. THERE WAS AN INADEQUATE COATING OF THE METAL WHICH LEADS TO PREMATURE RUSTING. IN 2010 CHRYSLER ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS, BUT ONLY FOR CARS BUILT IN A SIX WEEK PERIOD IN 2004. THIS ONLY COVERED A SMALL FRACTION ON THE CARS AFFECTED. CHRYSLER NEVER SENT INFORMATION TO OWNERS WARNING OF THIS OR OFFERING SUGGESTIONS ON MAINTENANCE OF THIS ISSUE. AS A RESULT, THOUSANDS OF PACIFICA OWNERS LIKE MYSELF ARE LEFT WITH CARS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND UNABLE TO SELL BECAUSE OF THE SEVERITY OF THE ISSUE. THE RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER (FAC) WHEN YOU CONTACT THEM IS "SORRY, IT IS NOT UNDER WARRANTY".

I OWN A 2004 CRYSLER PASIFICA THAT I PURCHASED NEW THAT HAS SEVERE RUST OF THE ENGINE CRADLE AKA SUBFRAME WHICH MAKES IT IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE THE CAR SAFELY OR SELL THE CAR AS WELL. THIS RUST SEEMS ABNORMAL FOR A CAR THAT IS 10 YEARS OLD. DOING RESEARCH ONLINE, WE HAVE NOTICED THAT CHRYSLER ADMITTED TO THE PROBLEM AND HAS FIXED CERTAIN CARS WITHIN SOME LIMITED PRODUCTION RUN SOLD IN CERTAIN STATES. OUR PROBLEM DOES NOT SHOW UP ON ANY RECALL LIST AND WE DON'T HAVE A RECORD OF CHRYSLER CONTACTING US ALTHOUGH THEY SHOULD HAVE. WHAT CAN I DO ABOUT THIS PROBLEM?

UPON TAKING MY VEHICLE TO BE SERVICED AFTER PURCHASE 1 DAY AGO, THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED OUT ON THE RIGHT SIDE. THIS IS THE ONLY RUST ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE VEHICLE.

I PUT MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN THE SHOP ON 8/24/2015 FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND INSPECTION AND TO MY SURPRISE WAS TOLD THE "SUBFRAME IS ROTTING OUT". MY MECHANIC STATED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THE PACIFICA. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME EXACT ISSUE. APPARENTLY, CHRYSLER PROVIDED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF CARS EFFECTED BY THIS SAFETY HAZARD. CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING THIS DEFECT SERIOUSLY; SHOULD PROVIDE CORRECTIVE ACTION BEFORE FATALITIES OCCUR.

I HAVE AN 04 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH A SEVERELY RUSTED ENGINE CRADLE. I WAS TOLD BY A MECHANIC AT GOODYEAR WHILE TRYING TO GET AN ALIGNMENT THAT MY CRADLE WAS TOO RUSTED TO DO THE ALIGNMENT. HE THEN SAID THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH CHRYSLER PACIFICAS. I DID SOME RESEARCH AND FOUND A LETTER THAT WAS ISSUED TO OWNERS OF PACIFICAS REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. HOWEVER, I DID NOT RECEIVE THE LETTER. SO I CALLED THE CHRYSLER COMPLAINT LINE AND SPOKE WITH SOMEONE WHO GAVE ME A CASE # AND TOLD ME I WOULD NEED TO HAVE THE ISSUE VERIFIED BY A CHRYSLER DEALER AND THEN THEY WOULD LOOK INTO PAYING FOR THE REPAIR. I TOOK IT TO MY DEALER WHO VERIFIED THE REPAIR AND TOOK SEVERAL PICTURES. I HAD NOT HEARD ANY THING BACK SO I CALLED BACK TO THE COMPLAINT LINE ABOUT MY CASE#. AT THAT TIME I SPOKE WITH ANOTHER CSR WHO INFORMED ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT ONE OF THE AFFECTED VEHICLES . WHEN QUESTIONED WHY NOT AND WHICH VEHICLES WERE AFFECTED SHE SAID SHE DID NOT KNOW. BUT, SAID IT DEFINATELY WAS NOT MINE. I WAS EXTREMELY UPSET AS I HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY TOLD IF THE ISSUE WAS A RUSTED CRADLE AND VERIFIED BY A CHRYSLER DEALER I WOULD BE ABLE TO GET ASSISTANCE, HOPEFULLY ON THE ENTIRE REPAIR. I AM NOT SURE WHAT TO DO NOW AS THIS IS AN EXPENSIVE REPAIR $5000 - $6000. THE LADY SAID WELL YOU NEED TO PUT MONEY INTO A VEHICLE THAT IS 10 YEARS OLD. I SAID I HAVE. I HAVE HAD OTHER ISSUES WITH THE VEHICLE ALSO. BUT, THAT IS FOR ANOTHER TIME. I AM SO UPSET WITH CHRYSLER AS I READ THE WHOLE PROBLEM WAS THEY FORGOT TO PUT DRAIN HOLES IN THE CRADLE. NOT SURE WHAT TO DO FROM HERE.

THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN REPLACED MULTIPLE TIMES. 3 AT A TIME. THERE ARE ONLY 4 OF THEM. I WAS NOT AWARE THAT IT WAS A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE CARS SUBSEQUENT RESEARCH HAS SHOWN THAT IT IS VERY COMMON. IT DOES PRESENT A SAFETY RISK.

JUST BROUGHT OUR CAR TO THE SHOP FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THEY INFORMED US THAT OUR ENGINE CRADDLE IS SO BADLY ROOTING THAT WE HAVE TO SPEND $2300 TO REPAIR. I HAVE HEARD CHRYSLER NEW ABOUT THIS AND IS DOING NOTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE OUR CAR WAS BUILT IN AUG OF 2004. THAT IS HORRIBLE !!!!!

MY CAR HAS BEGUN TO SHAKE. I JUST GOT BACK FROM THE MECHANIC, WHO EXPLAINED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS SEVERELY CORRODED AND RUSTED WITH SEVERAL HOLES IN IT. HE PRINTED UP THE RECALL INFORMATION CONCERNING THIS, WHICH I NEVER RECEIVED OR KNEW ABOUT ... AND WHICH DOESN'T COVER MY CAR. I HAVE $2,000 WORTH OF WORK NEEDED TO MAKE MY CAR SAFE THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE PAYING FOR. I AM COMPLETELY SICK OF PAYING OUT OF POCKET TO FIX THINGS ON MY CAR THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED, BUT MY CAR ISN'T COVERED UNDER. I AM ABSOLUTELY LIVID AT THIS POINT!!!

WHILE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH. I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING LAST YEAR ALSO. I WAS INFORMED THAT NOW IT HAS RUSTED THROUGH TO WHERE IT MAY NOT BE SAFE TO DRIVE SINCE THE ENGINE COULD SHIFT ON THE RUSTED ENGINE CRADLE AND CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. LOOKING ONLINE I SEE THAT MANY 2004, 2005 PACIFICAS HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND MANY HAVE BEEN TOLD BY CHRYSLER CORP., AS I WAS LAST YEAR, THAT MY VEHICLE WAS NOT MANUFACTURED WITHIN THE 2 MONTHS WHERE THEY SAY THEY HAD MANUFACTURING PROBLEMS AND HAD FIXED THOSE THAT THEY SAY WERE DEFECTIVE. CHRYSLER HAS REPAIRED MANY PACIFICA ENGINE CRADLES, ACCORDING TO INFORMATION ONLINE, BUT ONLY AFTER HAVING AN OUTSIDE INVESTIGATING AGENCY LIKE A TV STATION OR OTHER ENTITY GETTING INVOLVED. THIS APPARENTLY IS A DANGEROUS SITUATION THAT CHRYSLER DOES NOT WANT TO ADDRESS WITH A RECALL OR REPAIR. MY REQUEST FOR REPAIR IS ON FILE WITH CHRYSLER CORP. FROM MY CONTACT WITH THEM LAST YEAR.

I DRIVE A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I WAS DRIVING A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND I HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE HOOD THAT WAS ABNORMAL. THE NOISE CONTINUED EVERY LITTLE BUMP, TURN, ETC. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT MY ENGINE CRADLE HAS RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH THE METAL. HE MENTIONED THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS AND WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. UPON RESEARCHING THE TOPIC, I FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH 2004 AND 2005 PACIFICAS AND SEVERAL OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM AS FAR AS CHRYSLER REFUSING TO FIX THE CRADLE. I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON MAY 9TH, 2014 FOR $6,000 AND I AM BEING EXPECTED TO PUT $3,500 OF WORK INTO IT NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER? THERE IS NO WAY THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD SEE ANY OF THIS SITUATION ETHICAL CONSIDERING THERE ARE SO MANY OF US WITH THIS PROBLEM. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE HELP ME GET THROUGH TO CHRYSLER AND GET MY VEHICLE BACK INTO DRIVING CONDITIONS? *TR

HUSBAND TOOK CAR IN TO HAVE MOTOR MOUNTS FIXED. HAVE BEEN BAD SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, ON 1/28/12. ALONG WITH A LOT OF OTHER ISSUES WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. AC STOPPED WORKING. STALLED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH., ALWAYS SHOOK AFTER A CERTAIN SPEED, ELECTRICAL, CAR JERKED FORWARD AT A STOP, TIRE PRESSURE ALWAYS READ 2-3 TIRES LOW EVEN AFTER HAVING NEW TIRES PUT ON AND ALIGNED. DEFOG NEVER WORKED. WEIRD SOUND IN FRONT OF SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN MODULE, ETC., ETC. BUT THE WORST OF ALL IS WHEN WE TRIED TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS FIXED BACK IN DECEMBER . CAR GUY FIXED MOTOR MOUNTS, HUSBAND DROVE CAR HOME, LATER THAT NIGHT WENT WITH KIDS FOR ICE CREAM, CAME OUT AND CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED BACK, WORKED ON IT FOREVER COULD NOT FIGURE OUT, THEN HAD IT TOWED AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER, TO ANOTHER SHOP, WHERE THEY SAID THE CAR WAS DONE! THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS SO RUSTED THAT THEY WOULDN'T EVEN LET US TAKE THE CAR, BECAUSE IT WAS SO BAD! NOT SURE IF I AM UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY, BUT WOULD HOPE THAT CHRYSLER TAKES CARE OF ALL THE PEOPLE, WHO HAVE ENDURED ALL OF THESE PROBLEMS, AND EXPENSES ASSOCIATED WITH ALL!

I AM WRITING BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE CRADLE IN MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA IS BEGINNING TO RUST THROUGH AND I HAVE TWO VISIBLE HOLES, AT THIS TIME.

I HAVE A CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITION, FOR WHICH I HAVE TO DRIVE TO RECEIVE TREATMENTS THREE TIMES A WEEK, PLUS I WORK AND I HAVE TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. I DON'T THINK CHRYSLER IS TAKING THIS DEFECT SERIOUSLY. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD DO THE RESPONSIBLE THING AND FIX EVERY PACIFICA.

IT SEEMS THAT BEFORE THEY WERE REPLACE THEY WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AND THE MOTOR WAS BEING HELD IN PLACE BY 3 OTHER MINOR MOUNTS. APPARENTLY, THE BACKORDER IS SO BAD THAT IT COULD NOT BE GUARANTEED WITHIN 2 MONTHS. I HAD TO ORDER THEM THROUGH A 3RD PARTY IN ORDER TO REPLACE BEFORE ANY MAJOR DAMAGE WAS CAUSED. THIS RAISES RED FLAGS: ARE THESE FAULTY MOUNTS? DO THEY NO LONGER MAKE THESE MOUNTS FOR OTHER VEHICLES? IF SO, IS IT DUE TO SUBSTANDARD DESIGN? WHY HAS THERE NOT BEEN AN INVESTIGATION? THIS IS NOT RIGHT. WHAT CAN I DO? READ MORE: HTTP://WWW.FAQS.ORG/CAR/CHRYSLER-PACIFICA-2005/STRUCTURE/#IXZZ2YZEIS2HS *TT

AND MAY I ECHO THE ENTIRE LAST COMPLAINT THAT WAS SUBMITTED THAT I JUST READ BECAUSE IT'S EXACTLY HOW I FEEL TOO. I HAVE READ THAT CHRYSLER ALSO SELECTIVELY DECIDES WHO TO HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RECALL WINDOW AND WARRANTY, AFTER THE CUSTOMER MAKES ENOUGH NOISE. IF IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT, WHY ARE THEY DOING THAT? THE NBC REPORT ALSO INDICATES THAT NHTSA SEES NO PATTERN WITH THE NUMEROUS CLAIMS YOU HAVE RECEIVED OUTSIDE OF THE SUPPOSED RECALL WINDOW, LIKE THIS ONE, HOW MANY PEOPLE HAVE TO BE PUT AT GRAVE RISK BEFORE YOU SEE A PATTERN? YOU MIGHT SEE A PATTERN IF MORE PEOPLE KNEW THEY ARE DRIVING UNSAFE PACIFICAS, SO THAT THEY COULD REPORT IT.

CHRYSLER TOLD ME THE WARRANTY THEY OFFERED, RELATED TO THE RECALL, WAS EXPIRED FOR MY VEHICLE ANYWAY. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM OR THAT WARRANTY, BECAUSE THEY WERE KEEPING THIS PROBLEM A SECRET TO MOST OF THEIR AFFECTED CUSTOMERS. I HAVE READ THAT CHRYSLER ALSO APPARENTLY SELECTIVELY DECIDES WHO TO HELP WITH THE COST OF REPAIRS, REGARDLESS OF THEIR RECALL WINDOW AND WARRANTY, AFTER THE CUSTOMER MAKES ENOUGH NOISE.

ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 30TH, MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS TAKEN TO JACK WILLIAMS TIRE AND AUTO SERVICE CENTER IN CAMP HILL, PA BECAUSE OF A DRIVABILITY VIBRATION AND/OR SHAKE. THE MECHANIC CALLED AND SAID, YOU WERE LUCKY TO GET THE VEHICLE HERE IN ONE PIECE; THE ENGINE CRADLE IS SO BADLY CORRODED THAT YOU ARE LUCKY THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. HE WOULD NOT RELEASE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2014, I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS IS NOT NEWS TO THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC . . . . IN A LETTER DATED NOVEMBER 9, 2010, CHRYSLER GROUP LLC STATES THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SOME VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY THOSE DRIVEN IN AREAS OF HIGH SALT USAGE ON ROADWAYS. THE LETTER INFORMS OWNERS THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE (OF CHRYSLER PACIFICA MODEL YEARS 2004 THRU 2005) HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST. I DID EMAIL CHRYSLER GROUP LLC CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE ABOUT MY SITUATION AND MY REQUEST FOR REIMBURSEMENT AND THE RESPONSE I RECEIVED WAS: THE VEHICLE HAS EXCEEDED THE TIME AND/OR MILEAGE LIMITATIONS OF THE WARRANTY. SINCE MY VEHICLE IS 2004 AND UNDER 150,000 MILES I SENT A LETTER TO THEM ASKING THEM TO PLEASE REVIEW THEIR DECISION AND IN A LETTER DATED 2/21/2014 I RECEIVED A LETTER WITH ONE SENTENCE STATING "AFTER THOROUGHLY REVIEWING YOUR REQUEST AND OUR FILES ON THIS MATTER, WE RESPECTFULLY CONCUR WITH OUR PREVIOUS DECISION."

RECENTLY IT STARTED HESITATING AND SHUTTING OFF AT RANDOM, USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT RECENTLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS TOO, MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO LOCAL GARAGE AFTER EXTREME COLD SNAP BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START. IT HAD BEEN FLOODED. HAD OIL CHANGED AND PLUGS CHANGED, AND MECHANIC FOUND THE ENGINE CRADLE CORROSION, AS MANY OTHER HAVE REPORTED. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND THE HESITATING CONTINUES. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER 3 TIMES ON THIS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS WAY OVER THE MILEAGE AND NOT WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME FRAME. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW, AND THE PARTS MADE WITH INFERIOR MATERIALS. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL PACIFICAS AND MAKE CHRYSLER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. *TR

ON JANUARY 28, 2013 I HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS. AT THAT TIME I WAS ADVISED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BAD ALONG WITH STRUTS. ALSO AT THAT TIME I WAS CALLED BACK TO THE SERVICE AREA BY MECHANIC. HE PROCEEDED TO SHOW ME THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTING OUT AND SHOWED ME VARIOUS PLACES WHERE IT HAD IN FACT RUSTED THROUGH. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $1612.05 TO REPAIR THIS. DUE TO LIMITED FINANCES I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE WARRANTY WORK REPAIRED. AT THE TIME I BELIEVED THIS TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I HAVE RESEARCHED SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE REALIZED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY ONLY COVERED THOSE BUILT BETWEEN FEBRUARY AND MARCH OF 2004. MY VEHICLE HAS A BUILD DATE OF JANUARY 22, 2004. I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE LOOKED INTO MORE CLOSELY AT ALL THOSE BUILT IN 2004. *TR

CAR WILL START OK MOST OF THE TIME. SEEMS LIKE WHEN I DRIVE ACROSS TOWN AND SHUT IT OFF THOUGH, IT WILL NOT START BACK UP. ONLY CLICKS AT THE RELAY. I'VE HAD THIS CAR TOWED 3 TIMES FOR LEAVING ME STRANDED. I HAVE FOUND SOMETIMES IF I WAIT 30 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN IT WILL SOMETIMES START. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND A PACIFICA TO ANYONE, AND I WILL NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER CHRYSLER OR AGAIN. *TR

I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN FOUR ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF DUE TO MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND ROADS WITHOUT WARNING. AS I ACCELERATE THE CAR STARTS TO HESITATE, SPUTTER AND THEN JUST DIES OUT. THE LAST TIME IT DID THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WITH CARS GOING BY AT 50MPH, I HAD TWO GOOD SAMARITANS AND TWO POLICE OFFICERS THAT WERE NEARBY HELP ME TO SAFETY WHERE I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO MY HOME WHERE IT SITS TODAY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT SAID BAD CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, SO I REPLACED IT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED IT SAID BAD CAMSHAFT, SO I REPLACED IT. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED IT SAID BAD CAMSHAFT SENSOR AGAIN, SO I REPLACED THINKING I BOUGHT A DEFECTIVE ONE. THIS DID NOT WORK EITHER AS THE CAR ENDED UP STALLING FOR GOOD TWO DAYS AGO. I KNOW THERE HAVE BEEN RECALLS IN THE PAST FOR THIS EXACT STALLING CONDITION OF THE ENGINE, BUT CHRYSLER SAYS MY CAR DID NOT SHOW UP AS ONE OF THE RECALLED ONES. I FIND THIS VERY CONCERNING THAT THIS DANGEROUS CONDITION WOULD NOT BE COVERED BY CHRYSLER WHEN THEY KNOW IT HAS BEEN AN ISSUE ON THOUSANDS OF OTHER SIMILAR PACIFICAS. *TR

Mileage: 89,000

MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFIA HAS HAD MANY ISSUES BUT THE ONE THAT I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE RUSTED, CORROSION OF THE ENGINE CRADLE, SUB FRAME. IT IS SO RUSTED THAT I WAS TOLD MY ENGINE MAY FALL OUT. WENT TO SEVERAL JUNK YARDS TO FIND PART AND ALL THE ONES I LOOKED AT HAVE THE SAME THING WRONG WITH THEM. THEY ARE RUSTED OUT AND CANT BE USED. SOMETHING WRONG HERE. PLEASE RECALL THESE. *JS

AFTER REPLACING A BOTH MOTOR MOUNTS IN JULY OF 2012. THEY BROKE AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2012!! THIS TIME IT WAS SO BAD THAT WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER THE ENGINE DIED AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. EVENTUALLY AFTER TRYING TO TURN IT OVER SO MANY TIME THE BATTERY DIED. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AFTER THE HOLIDAYS TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO FIX ($1200) AND EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT BESIDES THE MOUNTS BEING BROKE, WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER THE ENGINE LIFTED AND CUT THRU ALL OF THE WIRES LEADING TO THE FAILURE OF THE CAR'S POWER CONTROL MODULE. THIS RESULTED IN A LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER, OTHER ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS, AND THE LOSS OF THREE IGNITION COILS. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY KEEP MAKING "RUBBER" ENGINE MOUNTS IF THE[XXX] THINGS ARE USELESS IN THE FIRST PLACE? THERE HAS TO BE A REASON ALL THESE CARS ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AND IF I HAD KNOWN ABOUT THIS BEFORE I FINANCED THIS "POS", I WOULD NEVER HAVE PUT MY CHILDRENS LIVES IN DANGER.!! I HAD THE CAR FIXED AND EVERYTHING WAS GOING FINE UNTIL LAST NIGHT, ONCE AGAIN! I WAS DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND SOME STUPID PERSON SLAMMED ON HER BRAKES IN FRONT OF ME SO I HIT MINE AND WHEN I DID MY CAR LUNGED FORWARD AND I HEARD THE GOD AWFUL "POP" SOUND AGAIN!!! NOW I AM BACK TO SQUARE ONE AND WITHIN A YEARS TIME THIS CAR WILL HAVE HAD 3 SETS OF MOTOR MOUNTS PUT ON IT. SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME THERE IS NOT A DEFECT SOMEWHERE, BECAUSE WHOEVER HANDLES THESE ISSUES AT DAIMLER/CHRYSLER NEEDS TO DRIVE ONE OF THESE CARS FOR THEMSELVES AND SEE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN DEALING WITH FOR SO LONG. ALSO, ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND IT HAS TO DO WITH A VERY SMALL LEAK INSIDE THE GAS TANK. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS IS A RECALL, BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO GET ANYONE TO FIX IT. I JUST WANT SOME ANSWERS, MORE SO FOR MY KIDS SAKE SO I CAN TRY AND GET IT FIXED COMPLETELY OR A NEW CAR SO THEY ARE OUT OF HARMS WAY.

DRIVING AROUND 40 THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE. I THOUGHT MAYBE A WHEEL BEARING OR TIE ROD WAS THE ISSUE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE SHOP TO GET CHECKED I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF ALMOST FAILING. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING THE CRADLE REPLACED. HAD THAT OCCURRED AT A HIGHER SPEED I HAT TO THINK WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A REPLACEMENT PROGRAM FOR VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN FEB 23RD AND MAR31ST 2004. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT JANUARY 23RD 2004 IT WAS NOT COVERED AND I RECEIVED NO LETTER. DESPITE THE FACT I WAS DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN A VERY DANGEROUS STATE.

CAUSE I CAN'T GO OVER 25 MPH. SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE FRONT BUMPER HAS A SILVER PLATE AT THE CORNERS OF THE FRONT CAR.

VEHICLE WAS TOOK OFF OF THE DRIVEWAY AND FEW SECONDS LATER OIL FROM ENGINE CAME TO BE SPILLED OFF FROM BOTTOM OF ENGINE, VEHICLE WAS TOOK TO MECHANIC AND IT WAS REVISED, PROBLEM LOOKS TO BE THAT OIL WAS COMING OFF THE MOTOR FROM OIL FILTER GASKET; THOUGH SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH FILTER GASKET, OIL FILTER WAS REPLACED WITH NEW ONE AND NEW OIL WAS PLACED AT ENGINE, WHEN MOTOR WAS STARTED UP IT WAS NOTICED THAT OIL PRESSURE WAS CONTAINED INTO THE OIL FILTER AND IT CAUSES THE NEW FILTER TO BLEW OUT; MECHANIC WAS CONFUSED AT THE MOMENT; NEED TO MENTION THAT I HAVE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO THIS SPECIALIZED MECHANIC SHOP SINCE 2 YEARS AGO AND WE HAVE NEVER NOTICED SOMETHING SIMILAR. AFTER SPENDING FEW HOURS REVIEWING THE VEHICLE MOTOR IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE SPRING THAT GOES INTO THE OIL PRESSURE RELIEF VALVE WAS BROKE. NOT REALLY KNOW HOW THIS SPRING CRACK, ALL OIL SERVICES HAVE BEEN MADE TO THE MOTOR EVERY 3000 MILES AND VEHICLE HAD ALL SERVICES PER THE MAINTENANCE MANUAL. THIS DEFECTIVE SPRING CAUSES THAT VEHICLE DRAINS ALL ENGINE OIL FROM FILTER, LUCKILY IT HAPPENED CLOSE HOME AND TO MECHANIC SHOP AND NOT AT HIGHWAY, OTHER WAY I COULD BE ENDED WITH A TOTAL WRECK ENGINE. NO WARNING LIGHT WHEN ON, IT CAME ON UNTIL ALL OIL WAS TOTALLY DRAINED FROM ENGINE. HOPE THIS CAN BE ADDRESSED TO CHRYSLER, I DO NOT WANT IT HAPPEN TO ANOTHER PERSON AND IT CAUSES A MAJOR DAMAGE TO ENGINE. *TR

THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS ON ALL CHRYSLER PACIFICA MODELS ARE PUTTING THE PUBLIC AT RISK...THE FAILURE RATE FOR THESE VEHICLE COMPONENTS IS ASTRONOMICAL AND REPETITIVE AFTER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS CAN CAUSE ADDITIONAL FAILURES THAT ALSO PUT THE PUBLIC AT RISK...THIS INCLUDES: --GROUND WIRE FATIGUE AND FAILURE CAUSING A MULTITUDE OF UNEXPECTED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN --DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WIRING HARNESS TO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, AGAIN CAUSING A MYRIAD OF UNEXPECTED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN --COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE...ENGINE MOVEMENT CAUSES UPPER RADIATOR HOSE TO DISCONNECT COMPROMISING THE COOLING SYSTEM AND CONTRIBUTING TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION WHEN THE ENGINE COOLANT IS RELEASED. I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED PREVIOUSLY AND IT IS APPALLING TO REALIZE THAT NO ACTION HAS BEEN EFFECTED BY THIS OVERSIGHT ARM.
