I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT NEEDED A MOTOR MOUNT TO FIND OUT THAT THE SUB FRAME IS ROTTEN TO THE POINT IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE. THE REST OF THE DETAILS MAY NOT BE OF INTEREST TO YOU BUT I AM THE SURVIVING SPOUSE OF A DECEASED VETERAN AND MOTHER OF HIS TWO CHILDREN. I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING TO RECUPERATE SINCE THEIR FATHER'S DEATH AND HEAVEN UNABLE TO DO TO THE PANDEMIC THAT'S WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO MY DAILY DRIVERS ENGINE SEIZED AND I EXHAUSTED ALL MY RESOURCES BUYING THIS VEHICLE THAT IS NOW DEEMED UNSAFE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

ENTERED FREEWAY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND LOST POWER. STARTING EXITING FREEWAY THEN CAR EXCELERATING ON ITS OWN. ENGINE WAS REVING AND HUMMING SO MUCH I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRUAL AND HIT THE BRAKES AS I EXIT THE FREEWAY TO SAFELY PARKED. CALLED TOW TRUCK FOR SERVICE.

BOUGHT CAR 2018 FEB . NO MENTION OF WHOLE UNDER CARRIAGE RUSTED OUT - 2004-2008 CHRYSLER FORGOT TO SPRAY FOR RUST. WHEN WE GO WE BOUGHT IT LATER IN EVENING - WAS ASSURED THAT CAR HAD BEEN CHECKED OUT AND SOUND. WE HAVE DONE SOME REPAIRS ON OTHER THINGS - THERMOSTAT , RADIATOR , TIRES ABS SENSOR ISSUE BUT THERE WAS NO MENTION OF UNDERSIDE BEING RUSTED FROM FRONT TO BACK - TWO YEARS AND THE ENGINE IS GOING TO FALL OUT AND CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CAR WAS SUBMERGED IN WATER SOMEWHERE BEFORE WE RECEIVED. THIS IS THE SHORTER VERSION OF THIS SITUATION. ALIGNMENT IS NOW WAY OFF , PULLS TO ONE SIDE OUT OF NOWHERE. WEARING ON TIRES- JUST TOOK IT INTO HEARTLAND TIRE BY HOUSE AND TOLD DO NOT DRIVE AND THAT FIXING IT WOULD BE OVER 3500 OR MORE.

YEAR2006 MAKE/MODELCHRYSLER PACIFICA MILEAGEABOUT 99,000 DRIVING FOR 13+ YEARS; HAD BEEN GETTING CHECK ENGINE AND ABS SIGNS ON DASHBOARD NOW AND THEN FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS; IN HUMID DAYS RECURRENCES WERE MORE THAN IN COLDS. VA INSPECTION, BOTH EMISSION AND SAFETY, PASSED EVERY YEAR, LAST ONE BEING IN JULY 2019, WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. SINCE LATE JULY ABS SIGN CEASED TO APPEAR ANY MORE, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS APPEARING STEADILY. IN DIAGNOSTICS P0700, P0732 AND P0720 CODES WERE RETURNED. NOW A DAYS, WHEN I COME TO A STOP/RED LIGHT, ON FULL BRAKE, ENGINE MAKES A JERK, AND SPEEDOMETER READING JUMPS FROM 0 TO 20 MPH. ALSO, BREAK PEDAL EXPERIENCES A PUSH-BACK, CAUSING TENDENCY TO DRIVE FORWARD. OVER 30 MPH GAS PEDAL DEMANDS MORE COMPRESSION, AND ENGINE MOTION ROARING ALSO SURGES, NO RATTLING. WHAT KIND OF RISK I AM CARRYING IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS, COST FOR REMEDY AND IS IT WORTH TO INVEST IN FIXING THE PROBLEM(S)? *TR

I ALWAYS GOT MY PACIFICA CHECKED AND THE OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR BASIS AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP. THE LAST TIME I GOT AN OIL CHANGE, THEY ASKED ME TO COME OUT TO LOOK AT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE. THEY SHOWED ME WHERE MY "ENGINE CRADLE" WAS SO RUSTED, THE ENGINE WAS READY TO FALL OUT. I WAS MORTIFIED, BECAUSE I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE EVERY DAY. CHRYSLER QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $4000. I DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THEY DETERMINED THE CAR AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WENT HOME AND LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. CHRYSLER KNEW OF THIS ENGINE CRADLE RUST PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE OF CHRYSLER, AND ALL I GOT WAS THE RUN AROUND. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS, MY ENGINE COULD HAVE FALLEN OUT ON THE HIGHWAY. I'M A SENIOR CITIZEN AND DON'T HAVE $4000 FOR A NEW ENGINE CRADLE. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE BEEN MADE TO RECALL ALL THE CARS WITH THIS RUSTED CRADLE. VERY DANDEROUS, AND CHRYSLER HAS DONE NOTHING TO COMPENSATE THE OWNERS OF THESE VEHICLES. THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS SAFETY HAZZARD THAT IS LIFE THREATENING. MY VEHICLE IS VERY WELL KEPT, AND LOOKS LIKE NEW. I WAS THE ONLY DRIVER.

THE CROSS MEMBER THAT SUPPORTS THE DRIVE TRAIN IS RUSTED AT THE JOINTS WHERE IT MEETS THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THIS AFFECTS BOTH STEERING AND SHIFTING, AS THE MOTOR WILL ACTUALLY SHIFT ON INITIAL PULL OFF; AND BECAUSE THE STEERING IS ANCHORED ON THE SAME MEMBER, LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAN ALSO BE FELT. I NOTICED THE RUSTING ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I WENT TO DO MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AS THE CAR OWNER. ON 9/12/2017 I WAS RIDING HOME AND HEARD A METALLIC CLANK, AS IF SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OFF OF THE VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVING AT HOME, I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CROSS MEMBER IS RUSTING AND TWISTING UNDER THE LOAD OF THE ENGINE. I AM LEARY ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT IT IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.

IN ADDITION TO STRESS CRACKS IN THE LH SIDE OF THE ENGINE SUPPORT. DEALER TOLD ME NO WARRANTY COVERAGE, NO RECALL. CANT AFFORD REPAIR AND CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FRAME RUSTED OUT AFTER ONLY 11 YEARS OLD!! WHAT HAPPENED TO "MADE IN AMERICA" STOOD FOR QUALITY AND BEING A GOOD THING.

CAR BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD, ABRUPT KNOCKING NOISE FROM RIGHT SIDE, PASSENGER FRONT OF VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THREE SEPARATE REPAIR SHOPS FOR EVALUATION AND AT ALL THREE REPAIRS SHOPS WERE TOLD THAT OUR ENGINE CRADLE WAS SO BADLY ROTTED AND RUSTED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. IT WAS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CAN BOTH DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY MOMENT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE TO CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT ASSISTING CURRENT OWNERS WITH REPAIR.

Mileage: 75,000

ENGINE MOUNT/CRADLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH. THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE 100,000 MILES YET. THIS ISSUE PROBABLY STARTED YEARS AGO AND NO MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER ISN'T COVERING 2006 MODELS EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR WAS DANGEROUS, BUT THIS IS A VERY COSTLY FIX - MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH - CONSIDERING CHRYSLER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT COATING THE ENGINE CRADLE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. IT IS AFFECTING STEERING AND HANDLING OF CAR AS WELL.

THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED OUT MAKING THIS CAR EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE AND IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE OTHERWISE. HOWEVER, THE COST TO REPLACE THE CRADLE HAS BEEN QUOTED AT $2500.00.

HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION GARAGE KEPT ALL OF ITS LIFE UNLESS DRIVING, NO SURFACE RUST,ETC ETC. BASICALLY A GREAT CAR. I WENT TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME BY THE WAY THERE IS A BIG RUT HOLE IN THE SUB FRAME AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE THAT LOOKED AT. HE ALSO STATED IT LOOKS STRANGE BECAUSE THE REST OF THE CAR IS IN SUCH GREAT SHAPE. I HAD NEW STRUTS AND TIE ROD INSTALLED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO SO I TOOK IT IN THERE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT NEXT. I WAS THEN TOLD THIS IS AMAZING, BUT WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE ON THESE CHRYSLER PACIFICAS! (RED FLAG). THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH THE DEALER BECAUSE THERE IS PROBABLY A RECALL ON IT. I THEN CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME HE KNOWS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AND TOOK MY VIN NUMBER OVER THE PHONE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES HE TOLD ME THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS CASE AND UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT COVER MY VIN. THEN HE SUGGESTED I CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN AND SEE WHERE IT GETS ME. (NICE). AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM THE STORY AND HOW IT BASICALLY RENDERS MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY FOR A 6 WEEK PERIOD IN 2004 AND I DID NOT QUALIFY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET NOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DRIVE AROUND WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THIS THING IS A TIME BOMB AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WARN ALL CURRENT OWNERS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED!

MY ENGINE CRADLE IS ALMOST RUSTED THRU AND MY SUBFRAME IS AS WELL

MY CAR FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE MY MECHANIC NOTICED IT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS ROTTING AND HAD HOLES IN IT ALL OVER. SO HE SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S AND THAT THEY WERE POORLY DESIGNED. TO REPAIR WOULD COST ME ABOUT $2000-2500. I FEEL HORRIBLE AND LIED TO BECAUSE CHRYSLER ISN'T TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. THAT KIND OF MONEY IS NOT IN MY BUDGET. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT COULD BE OVERLOOKED BY CHRYSLER.....I'M REALLY FED UP.

MINE WAS MANUFACTURED MAY 2005, SHOULD THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVEN THOUGH MINE WAS MANUFACTURED ONE YEAR LATER AND STILL CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? JUST A NOTE, I HAVE YOUNG KIDS IN MY CAR. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE, IN RESEARCHING I NOTICES THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT RUSTING ENGINE MOUNTS OR BREAKING OF ENGINE MOUNTS. AS MAY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ, I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE AN ENGINE MOUNT THAT IS RUSTED AND WORN OUT. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL THE 900 AND SOMETHING COMPLAINTS IN FORUMS, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE FIXED. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT MY 2006 PACIFICA SHOULD BE IN THE STALLING RECALL NOTICE AND BE FIXED ALSO. ONE YEAR APART SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED IN A ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS A LOT AN MANY DATES, BUT I CAN ONLY PUT ONE.

I HAD TAKEN MY CAR IN A WEEK AGO FOR AN ISSUE WITH THE CAR MAKING LIKE A POPPING SOUND WHEN I TURN HARD. WELL AFTER MECHANIC DROVE IT AND THEN PUT IT ON A RACK TO TAKE A LOOK UNDERNEATH AND DO THEIR INSPECTION THEY TOLD US WE CANNOT DRIVE VEHICLE AS IT IS UNSAFE. THE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND I COULD STICK MY HAND IN IT. AT ANY POINT IN TIME IT COULD HAVE COMPLETELY FELL OFF AND WRECKED MY VEHICLE. IT COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE ISSUE BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. NOW WE ARE GOING TO BE STUCK WITH THE REPAIR BILL. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND SPOKE WITH AN AGENT NAMED BRITTNEY WHOSE ONLY RESPONSE WAS I AM SORRY THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO. EVEN AFTER EXPLAINING ANY TYPE OF ACCIDENT WITH MY CHILDREN IN THE CAR COULD HAVE BEEN CATASTROPHIC. THEY DO NOT CARE. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE TO COVER ALL VEHICLES. I ONLY HAVE 75,000 MILES ON THE VEHICLE AND THE CRADLE IS THE ONLY PART RUSTED. CHRYSLER DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ANY OF THAT JUST THAT THE VEHICLE DOES NOT FALL WITHIN THE 2004 OR 2005 RANGE.

WE HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN 2008 WITH 26K MILES. IN 2011 WE STARTED EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. SIMULTANEOUSLY, WE CAME UP WITH CODES P0700, P0420 AND P0456 AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT , THE CATALYST CONVERTER REPLACED AND NEW FUEL PUMP DUE TO THE EVAP LEAK. IN A MATTER OF MONTHS, WE SPENT $5,900 ON REPAIRS AND IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO PASS INSPECTION. WE WERE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER REPEATEDLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE, SO WE WERE FORCED TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT MANY PACIFICAS HAD MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT WE WERE EXPERIENCING AND THAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUES.WE HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER SEATS, BLUETOOTH , SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY PREMATURELY SEVERAL TIMES. NOW WE NEED AN ABS SENSOR, AND THE CAR LEAKS IN THROUGH THE FRONT WINDOW SEALS ON BOTH SIDES WHEN IT RAINS. WE HAVE JUST FOUND OUT WHEN WE HAD THE CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THAT OUR ENGINE CRADLE(SUB FRAME) IS RUSTED AND IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE AND WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $2,500 TO REPLACE! WE JUST MADE OUR LAST PAYMENT ON THIS CAR AS WE FOUND THIS INFORMATION OUT. WE HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT MANY PACIFICAS HAVE THIS RUSTING PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER DID ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FOR 2004 & 2005 MODELS BUT NOT AFTER. WE ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND WANT TO BE SURE THAT THE NTSA IS AWARE OF THIS. THIS IS A FAMILY CAR AND THERE MAY BE MANY UNSUSPECTING PACIFICA OWNERS AND THEIR FAMILIES OUT THERE WHO ARE AT RISK OF INJURY OR POSSIBLY LOSS OF LIFE. WE FEEL THAT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO WARN ALL OWNERS AND IMPLORE THEM TO HAVE THEM BRING THEIR PACIFICAS TO THE DEALERSHIP FREE OF CHARGE TO HAVE IT INSPECTED AND REPAIRED FOR THIS HAZARDOUS ISSUE.

WHEN I WENT TO HAVE THE STATE INSPECTION PERFORMED I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE ENGINE CRADLE. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND NEEDS OVER $3,600 OF REPAIR WORK DONE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND CAN NOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF REPAIR COST.

WHEN I WENT TO GET MY CAR SERVICED, I WAS IMMEDIATELY WARNED BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT MY CAR WAS UNSAFE AND COULD CATCH ON FIRE AT ANY TIME BECAUSE MY ENGINE SUB-FRAME IS CORRODED. THE TECHNICIAN INFORMED ME THAT MY ENGINE COULD FALL OUT AT ANY TIME. HE SAID I SHOULD NOT DRIVE MY CAR AND SHOULD IMMEDIATELY GET IT REPLACED.

DO THERE HAVE TO BE DEATHS BEFORE IT IS ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A CHRYSLER PROBLEM THAT SHOULD BE CORRECTED IMMEDIATELY? *TR

LIKE OTHER EARLY MODEL CHRYSLER PACIFICAS NOTED ON THE NHTSA SITE- MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP INFORMED ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE ENGINE CRADLE/ SUBFRAME BEING RUSTED/ROTTED OUT SO BADLY YOU COULD SEE THROUGH IT. THEY SAID THAT IF A LARGE ENOUGH BUMP WAS ROLLED OVER, THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT AND A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR AS THE VEHICLE WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY LOSE CONTROL. I AM NOW AFRAID TO ALLOW MY WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN TO DRIVE IN IT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FOR ROUGHLY $10,000 LESS THAN A YEAR PRIOR TO LEARNING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE FROM A CHRYSLER USED AND NEW CAR DEALER-BRYDEN MOTORS IN BELOIT, WI. I ALSO PURCHASED AN $2000 EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH OF COURSE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS NOT COVERED IN SUCH A PLAN. I BELIEVE THE DAMAGE WAS THERE PRIOR TO PURCHASE AND THE DEALER EITHER FAILED TO INFORM ME, OR DIDN'T PERFORM A WELL CARED FOR INSPECTION PRIOR TO THE SALE. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER-THEY SAID IT WAS TOO FAR OUT FROM THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THEY DID TAKE PICTURES AND SEND TO THE CHRYSLER "IMAGING DEPARTMENT" WHERE THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT CLAIM I ASKED FOR THEM TO PLACE FOR ME WAS IMMEDIATELY DENIED FOR COVERAGE. I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL MEDIA IF NECESSARY. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE PACIFICA MODEL AND DUE TO THE EXPENSE INVOLVED TO FIX (WAS TOLD BETWEEN $2500-$5000) ABSOLUTELY RUINS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE FROM WHAT I THOUGH WAS A REPUTABLE DEALER AND A REPUTABLE BRAND SUCH AS CHRYSLER.

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND THEN CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR STARTED BACK UP RIGHT AWAY BUT AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE HOME IT CONTINUED TO STALL AND SHUT OFF. THANK GOD THERE WAS NOT VERY MANY CARS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOTTEN SERIOUSLY HURT. MY CAR HAS BEEN DOWN SINCE APRIL 2014 AND IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 2014. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS CAR BECAUSE THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD REPLACED THE EGR VALVE, O2 CENSORS, THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS, IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, AND A TUNE UP AND MY CAR STILL RUNS THE SAME, LIKE CRAP. THE COMPUTER IS NOT DIAGNOSING THE CAR PROPERLY AND NEITHER ARE THE MECHANICS. *TR

CAR HAS ROTTEN SUB FRAME THAT CRADLES ENGINE SUSPENSION! IN LOOKING AT CHRYSLER COMPLAINTS THIS APPEARS TO BE PREVALENT IN ALL THE SUB FRAMES. MY MECHANIC HAS WELDED IN METAL IN PLACE OF ROT. THIS SUB FRAME IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUSPENSION OF THE FRONT END AND CRADLES ENGINE MOUNTS. THERE IS NO WAY A CAR DESIGN SHOULD ALLOW FOR FAILURE OF SUCH A CRITICAL JOB AFTER 89000 MILES AND 8 YEARS. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND OR REMOVED FROM THE ROAD BEFORE THERE ARE UNNECESSARY DEATHS. *TR

MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED, TIE RODS REPLACED, CONTROL ARMS REPLACED ALL DONE IN THE LAST MONTH !! WHY DOESN'T CHRYSLER HAVE A RECALL OUT ON THIS ISSUES SINCE IT'S KNOWN FOR IT!

OTHER THING IS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF...IT'S BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE FUEL PUMP....REALLY AT THIS POINT I'M TIRED OF PUTTING MONEY INTO THE CAR. *TR

I TOOK MY 2006 PACIFICA IN TO A DEALER ON 7/18/2014 TO HAVE A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END INSPECTED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TIE ROD BUSHINGS HAD FAILED FOR A SECOND TIME IN ABOUT A YEAR. THEN HE TOLD ME THAT PART OF THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTING AND CRACKING TO THE POINT THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COULD FALL OUT. I FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR 2004 AND 2005 PACIFICAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT WOULD NOT COVER IT FOR ANY OTHER YEARS. THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAD A PROBLEM COUPLED WITH THE NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T COVER THIS FAILURE ON ALL MODEL YEARS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHRYSLER THAT I WILL EVER BUY. *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN 2008. THE CAR STALLS WHEN TURNING LIKE THE 2004-2005 MODELS THAT HAD A RECALL F44. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AT 800 992 1997AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR DURING THE INITIAL RECALL. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TOLD US TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT IS COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN WE LEARNED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS CORRODING ANOTHER RECALL X26. THE DEALER TOLD US IT WOULD COST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR. ADDITIONALLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE NEED TWO NEW FUEL PUMPS AND THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE F44 RECALL BECAUSE OUR 2006 CAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE 2004 - 2005 MODEL YEAR RECALL TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMPS. WE PAID THE DEALER THE COST OF THE SERVICE CHARGE $103 FOR THE INFORMATION AND WERE TOLD WE MIGHT CONSIDER BUYING A NEW CAR. I AM SURPRISED/FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING ANY ACCOUNTABILITY FOR BOTH VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUES AND IN ESSENCE MADE $103 PROFIT OFF OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO CREATE A SAFE CAR. *TR

RUST ISSUE ON FRONT ENGINE CRADLE I AM FROM SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV RESIDENT AND RECENTLY DISCOVERED THROUGH MY DEALERS MECHANIC THAT I HAD A BADLY CORRODED ENGINE CRADLE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT JUST TURNED 100K MILES. DEALER DENIED THE RECALL, THERE IS A SMALL WINDOW OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN FEB.23, 2004 AND MARCH 31,2004, A PRETTY SMALL WINDOW. A COUPLE OF CALLS TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE HAS FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER ARE NOT BUDGING. IT IS NOT THE MONEY, IT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT FULLY STANDING BEHIND. FOR REFERENCE, THE CHRYSLER WARRANTY BULLETIN IS NO:D-10-34 DATED MARCH 16, 2012. SUBJECT IS LISTED AS (X26) FRONT ENGINE CRADLE EXTENDED WARRANTY 2004-2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S. WE HAVE A 2006 AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THE MODELS AFFECTED! I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND A WIFE AND WE DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE. ONLY HAD IT ONE YEAR AND COULDN'T GET IT PASS THE 1ST INSPECTION DUE TO THE RUSTED OUT CRACKED ENGINE CRADLE. MECHANIC STATES IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!!!! I CANNOT GET ANY EXPLANATION AS TO QUITE WHY THAT IS FROM CHRYSLER DESPITE NUMEROUS CONTACTS WITH THE CUSTOMER CARE PEOPLE FROM CHRYSLER AND/OR DEALERSHIP. APPARENTLY MY BEST HOPE IS THAT IF I PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF I MIGHT GET A REFUND LATER IF CHRYSLER DECIDES TO EXPAND THE GROUP OF COVERED VEHICLES. HELP US PLEASE THANK YOU *TR

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, A MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS SEVERE RUST (50%) TO THE SUPPORT SYSTEM HOLDING UP THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILES. HE SAID THAT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, THAT, IF NOT REPAIRED, WOULD EVENTUALLY BREAK WAY AND THE ENGINE WOULD DROP OUT OF THE SUPPORT SYSTEM. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CARE, THE INTAKE OPERATOR BASICALLY READ FROM A SCRIPT AND STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PART WAS AFFECTED, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST ME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND OVER 700 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS THE THIRD CHRYSLER THAT I HAVE OWNED (AND MY SECOND PACIFICA) WITH 100% SATISFACTION UNTIL THIS POINT.

I HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED IN 2012; THE NEXT MONTH THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. TEN MONTHS LATER, THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS INSIGNIFICANT, THAT THE BRAKES ARE FINE. IN THE FALL OF 2013, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP BECAUSE IT TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES. I SPENT OVER $800.00 HAVING A BUNCH OF CODES CLEARED WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER THINGS. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF FOR A FEW DAYS BUT CAME BACK ON. THERE WAS AN ERROR THAT READ GAS CAP. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. IN MARCH 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CALIBERS BUT LATER WAS TOLD THAT I DIDN'T. I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TO CHECK AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKES. I HAD THOSE REPLACED. ON 4/7/2014, I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING GARAGE AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO UNSTICK IT. TODAY, APRIL 13, 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FRONTEND. I LOVE MY CAR BUT IT JUST DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. *JS

I JUST GOT MY 06 PACIFICA LAST MARCH WITH 87000 I WENT TO GET IT INSPECTED AND IT FAILED EMISSIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE IS SEVERELY ROTTED TO THE POINT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST REPLACED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT SO THAT'S TWO CONVERTERS IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THEN MY ENGINE CRADLE IS SO ROTTED THAT THERE'S A HUGE HOLE IN IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE IS ONLY A RECALL ON 2004-2005 BUT YET ALL THERE OTHER CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY WON'T HELP! NOW HERE I AM A YEAR INTO OWNING THIS CAR STILL OWE 6000$ FOR MY LOAN AND MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN BECAUSE CHRYSLER FAILS TO WANT TO HELP THERE CUSTOMERS AND BACK THERE PRODUCTS UP. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP EVEN ADMITS THIS IS A ISSUE BUT THE COMPANY WON'T FIX IT! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO! *TR

TWICE MY CAR HAS FROZE UP (CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS IN SLOW, STIFF MOTION) WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN GOING ABOUT;1ST TIME 20MPH AND 2ND TIME OF ISSUE 30MPH. THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON WITH THE DING SOUND TO ALERT YOU AND THEN IT WOULD FREEZE UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND LUCKILY IN BOTH INCIDENTS I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER AND OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I WOULD PUT THAT CAR IN TO PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAS TESTED THE CAR BUT CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. AND IN BOTH INCIDENTS I HAD MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT LETTER. ALSO ANOTHER ISSUES IS THE BACK TAILGATE WILL NOT STAY UP IN COLD WEATHER AND HAS COME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD MORE THAN ONCE. THAT IS VERY PAINFUL AND STARTLING TO HAVE HAPPEN TO YOU WHEN YOU ARE PUTTING GROCERIES IN YOUR CAR. MY CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLACE ANYTHING IN THE BACK BECAUSE I FEAR THAT THEY WILL BE CRUSHED AND THAT ALSO HAS BEEN LOOKED AT MY MECHANICS WHO CAN NOT FIND A PLAUSIBLE CAUSE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN EITHER. *TR

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. FIRST ISSUE WAS THE CV BOOTS THAT HAD COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED. THIS OCCURRED 62,123 MILES. NEXT ISSUE THAT IS STILL OCCURRING TODAY AND DEEPLY CONCERNS ME IS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS FROM TIME TO TIME. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSES THAT TO HAPPEN BUT IT SCARES THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUT OF ME ON A WEEKLY BASIS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PANEL READ GASCAP. WELL WE BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. SINCE THEN WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN, MORE MONEY OUT OF OUR POCKET SO UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT HAD THE REPAIR DONE SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT. NEXT AND BIGGEST ISSUE OFF ALL IS THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN OUR STREET I HEARD A NOISE THAT CONCERNED ME. WHEN I GOT HOME THERE WAS A TAPPING UNDER THE HOOD, THE TAPPING HAS BEEN CONTINUOUS SINCE THEN. THE ORIGINAL MILEAGE AT THAT TIME WAS 85,625 MILES. AFTER MULTIPLE TRIPS TO SEVERAL DIFFERENT MECHANICS IT HAS BEEN DIAGNOSED AS A TAPPING LIFTER. WELL THIS IS A VERY VERY EXPENSIVE REPAIR. SO EASIEST THING FOR US TO DO IS TO TRADE IN OUR CAR....NOT THE CASE. OUR CAR NOW HAS NO TRADE-IN VALUE BECAUSE OF THE LIFTER ISSUE. I AM BESIDE MYSELF AND I FIRMLY BELIEVE THAT THESE ARE ALL ISSUES THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD ADDRESS UNDER WARRANTY. THE MAINTENANCE ON OUR VEHICLE IS DONE ON A REGULAR BASIS TO AVOID ISSUES LIKE THIS. I FEEL QUITE CHEATED BY CHRYSLER AND WISH I COULD REQUEST A REFUND FOR ALL OF THE REPAIRS WE HAVE HAD TO DO WHILE OWNING THIS VEHICLE. *TR

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE ENGINE FAILED. I THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE PARK POSITION. AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME WITHOUT THE AC AND STEREO ON. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP JUST FINE AND I LET IT IDLE FOR ABOUT 1-1.5 MINUTES TO LET THE IDLE STABILIZE. (IT WAS NOT REAL STABLE). I THEN PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO REVERSE AND BACKED UP MAYBE 2 FT AND THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN.(NOW I AM IN THE ROAD) I REPEATED MY SECOND ATTEMPT AND LET IT IDLE 2-3 MINUTES, PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND IT WAS SHAKY BUT STAYED RUNNING AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ABOUT A WEEK LATER MY WIFE TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAD HAPPEN TO HER 2-3 TIMES OVER A COUPLE DAYS TIME. I HAVE HAD IT HAPPEN 2 ADDITIONAL TIMES AND TODAY I WAS HAVING TO PUT THE VEHICLE INTO NEUTRAL WHEN STOPPED OR IDLING TO KEEP THE ENGINE RUNNING FOR A SHORT 20 MILE DRIVE HOME FROM WORK. I HAVE READ MANY FORUMS AS WE CONSUMERS SEEM TO BE DOING MUCH MORE OF, AND THIS IS NOT A NEW PROBLEM. IT NEEDS TO BE FIXED. BUDGET CUTS,SEQUESTRATION AND FURLOUGHS ARE MAKING THINGS VERY TIGHT FOR A LOT OF US OUT HERE AND WE DEPEND ON GOOD QUALITY TRANSPORTATION TO GET TO THE JOBS WE THANKFULLY STILL HAVE SO THAT WE CAN DO OUR PART TO CONTRIBUTE THE ECONOMIC RECOVERY OF THIS GREAT NATION.

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED JUNE 11, 2013 AND HAD THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE REPLACED DUE TO UNFIX-ABLE FLAT TIRE. THE DEALER HAD ME TAKE VEHICLE TO PEERLESS TIRES CO. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH WRONG SIZE AND DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRE. TRAVELING DURING THUNDERSTORM APPROXIMATELY 3,5 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE; THE COMPUTER APPEARED TO LOCK WHEN VEHICLE SLIPPED ON PAVEMENT AS AWD ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND POWER THEN SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD. I MADE CLAIM THROUGH MY INSURANCE AND HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED BY LOCAL SHOP, AND I HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK TO SEE IF DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WAS NOTICEABLE WAS NOT HANDLING CORRECTLY AFTER ACCIDENT. WHEN ACCELERATES OR DECELERATES THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO PEERLESS TIRE CO. AFTER MECHANIC POINTED OUT THE WRONG SIZE AND MODEL OF TIRE ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. AFTER ACCEPTING FAULT WANTED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO [XXX] PAINT AND BODY TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS. WHEN THE ESTIMATE WAS BEING DONE AND VEHICLE WAS ON LIFT...[XXX] AND MECHANIC POINTED OUT THE WHOLE MOTOR CARRIAGE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND CORRODED. THEY HAD NOT SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT. TOOK VEHICLE BACK TO DEALER AND EXPLAINED THIS ISSUE. HAD TO GO AHEAD WITH INSURANCE CLAIM AND WAIT FOR ADJUSTORS TO DETERMINE FAULT OF ACCIDENT.THE VEHICLE IS TOTALLY UNSAFE TO DRIVE, FEELS LIKE THE ENGINE IS TIPPING FORWARD WHEN ACCELERATING OR DECELERATING. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE IM SHOCKED AND APPALLED THAT 2 PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS HAVE SAME ISSUES WHICH ARE NOT BEING ADDRESSED FOR THE 2006. I DON'T WANT THIS VEHICLE REPAIRED I WANT OUT FROM UNDER IT, SINCE IT WAS SOLD UNSAFE AND IS A RECURRING PROBLEM EVEN AFTER HAVING MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED AND UNDERCARRIAGE TREATED OR REPLACED.

DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE (AKA SUB-FRAME) WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY TWO OTHER AUTO TECHNICIANS AND BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS CORRODED AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD TO BOTH ITS PASSENGERS AND OTHER VEHICLES OPERATING IN THE VICINITY. THE VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE ZERO RESALE VALUE UNLESS THIS IS REPAIRED. PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN ORDERED AND REPAIR IS SCHEDULE TO OCCUR WITHIN 10 DAYS. ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIR IS $4,000. A REVIEW OF THE NHTSA DATABASE FOR THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE INDICATES 6 COMPLAINTS OF AN IDENTICAL NATURE FILED WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. SIMILAR SEARCHES OF OTHER WEBSITES CONFIRM THAT THIS IS AN EVOLVING PROBLEM. PACIFICA MODELS YEARS 2004 AND 2005 HAVE WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUES RELATIVE TO CORRODED ENGINE CRADLES AND BOTH MODEL YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED AS A RESULT. IT IS HIGHLY PROBABLE THAT THE FREQUENCY OF REPORTED CORRODED ENGINE CRADLES WILL INCREASE AS THESE VEHICLES AGE. A SERIOUS ACCIDENT OR INJURY MAY BE THE OUTCOME IN SITUATIONS WHERE THIS PROBLEM REMAINS UNCHECKED. THIS ISSUE WARRANTS ADDITIONAL INVESTIGATION AS IT IS BECOMING APPARENT THAT THE PROBLEM ENCOUNTERED IN THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS YEARS IS ALSO SURFACING IN THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. *TR
