2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Unknown Or Other Problems

Bought this car 3 months ago from Ford dealership, took it to mechanic shop today for oil change and was told car is "unsafe to drive" from frame being so rusted

Bought car from a private seller and wasn't informed of MASSIVE and UNSAFE DAMAGE TO ENGINE CRADLE. The engine cradle is nearly completely rotted out. Don't know if rust has eroded other parts until a mechanic can look extensively at the engine cradle. I have been trying salvage yards and 9 out of the 10 Pacifica's I have inquired about the engine cradle is rotted beyond repair. It has to be replaced. The fee for replacing and labor is going to be anywhere from $400 to $2500. and the vehicle has only 153÷k on it. This is a huge and reoccurring issue with the Chrysler Pacifica after I did research.

Vehicle shut off WHILE DRIVING ON THE ROAD out of nowhere after running perfectly fine and since this incident the car won't start at all. Had the car diagnosed and it said it's the "Transmission control module"

Key fob program

I went on some errands before going out if town. I noticed I might need a wheel alignment soon and I parked the car in my garage to go out of town. When I returned to go have it checked out, I noticed my front driver side tire was flat and a closer inspection, it had a tear. Then I noticed my other front tire was flat as well. I had two people tell me my subframe was badly rusted. I found out this was a known problem with Chrysler Pacifica but no recalls. This could have been a horrible accident for my daughter and I. We had been on the highway! By the grace of GOD we made it home, but the car is not driveable. Then came COVID and here I am, still without a car. Chrysler said they don't do recalls. This should not happen. Unfortunately, I don't know how long this was going on, no one mentioned anything at oil changes or when I got 3 new tires, etc. I don't have photos and just lost and frustrated this happened.

My 2006 chrysler pacifica van has a corrosive chassis about break into, (meanimg) my engine is about to fall & hit the ground, this is my second chrysler, my first was a 2005 chrysler pacifica, when I bout the first one in 2014 they replace the chassis but I never thought to search Up under this one out of (well) even after I had taken them to a CHRYSLER DEALER no one ever told me at DEALERSHIP that I needed a chassis on either one or the 2005 nor the 2006 chrysler pacifica even when I took them in for services, I just don't understand now nor did I not get the kind of service then, I have put all kind of money in these cars mostly this one, window motor, #5fuel injector,electronic ignition,oil pump sensor,radiator,evac sensor, front struts, brakes,,,,now the chassis the gasket near the water pump ,2nd gas line which they say that I have to replace second fuel line cause it getting to much air which make my gas cap lite come on,,,,,how I mean why , I mean who can I turn to to fix or help me with these issues,

TRANSMISSION WENT OUT IN 3 MONTHS

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

HELLO THERE, I JUST RECENTLY BOUGHT A 06 PACIFICA WITH 120000 MILES ON IT. THE OTHER DAY I WENT TO MY LOCAL TIRE SERVICE SHOP AND THE HEAD MECHANIC THERE TOLD ME THAT THE FRAME ON MY CAR WAS CORRODED AND ROTTING AWAY WHICH THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING. WHEN I LOOKED THIS UP ONLINE I AS SHOCKED TO DISCOVER THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM AND I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE. I ALSO SEEN A RECALL FOR THE 04&05 MODELS UP TO 150000 MILES WAS FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE. I WAS TOLD BY 2 CAR PROFESSIONALS TO GO PARK THIS CAR AND NOT DRIVE IT AGAIN UNTIL ITS FIXED. I AM A SINGLE LOW INCOME MOTHER WITH NO OPTIONS.

I HAVE BEEN INFORMED MY CAR HAS DANGEROUS AND FATAL CRADLE ROT AND SHOULD NOT BE ON THE ROAD. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE REPLACING THE SHIFT CABLE. I UNDERSTAND AT ONE TIME THERE WAS A RECALL ON 2004-2008 MODELS TO ONLY A FEW OWNERS (I WAS NOT ONE). PRESENT OWNERS SHOULD BE MADE AWARE OF THIS HIGHLY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I AM SURE MY AUTO IS NOT THE ONLY ONE. MY AUTO HAS BEEN WELL MAINTAINED. THIS SITUATION MAKES IT COMPLETELY WORTHLESS AND I AM STUCK! I HAVE PICTURES, BUT NOT AVAILABLE TO ME AT THIS TIME. MY MECHANIC HAS THEM. CAN'T IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN, UNKNOWINGLY, DRIVING DOWN THE HIGHWAY AT 60 M/P/HR AND DROP AN ENGINE!

THE CAR STALLS WHILE IN MOTION ON AN INCLINE, MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS UP AN INCLINE, AND MAKING U-TURNS ON FLAT SURFACE. THE ENGINE WOULD JUST DIE, THEN I WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WOULD RESTART. THIS HAPPENED IN CITY STREETS IN SPEEDS UNDER 25MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES, 3 TIMES THIS MONTH. MECHANIC CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

THE CHASSIS THAT CONNECTS UNDER THE ENGINE FROM LEFT FRONT TIRE TO RIGHT FRONT TIRE , WAS DIAGNOSED BY A CERTIFIED AUTO REPAIR SHOP. THAT THE METAL WAS NOT TREATED PROPERLY TO STOP THE METAL FROM CORRODING AND THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ENGINE FALLING OR STEERING COMPROMISED ,I WAS INSTRUCTED BY CHRYSLER IN DETROIT MICHIGAN TO TAKE THE AUTOMOBILE TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP ZIEGLERS IN SCHAUMBURG IL 60172 , TO HAVE A DEALER LOOK AT IT , AND THE DEALER WANTS TO CHARGE ME ALMOST $150.00 BECAUSE THEY WANT A CASE # FIRST BUT THE PEOPLE WE TALKED TO AT CHRYSLER IN DETROIT , NOELOYN AND ANGELICA AT 1-800-247-9753 SAID THEY WERE JUST GOING TO MAKE A NOTATION OF IT . THIS PROBLEM BECAME KNOWN TO MYSELF WHEN THE TEMP DROPPED BELOW 20 DEGREES AROUND NEW YEAR DAY , DRIVING . I HEARD AND FELT LIKE SOMETHING WAS WRONG WITH THE SUSPENSION . I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC , WHO THEN REFERRED ME TO A BODY SHOP ,ELMARS ON NORTH AVE IN GLENDALE HEIGHTS ,IL 60139 WHO SAID THE CHASSIE PART UNDER THE ENGINE WAS NOT COATED TO STOP IT FROM DETERIORATING, BUT IT IS SO BAD , TO NOT DRIVE IT . THE ENGINE MIGHT FALL OUT AND THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR PACIFICAS FROM THE YEARS BEFORE FOR THE SAME DEFAULT

Mileage: 104,000

CRADLE THAT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE, FRONT SUSPENSION AND DRIVELINE IS RUSTED THROUGH. THE VEHICLE IS IN OTHERWISE VERY GOOD CONDITION AND ONLY HAS JUST OVER 42,000 MILES OF USE. I WAS TOLD TODAY THAT IT WILL NOT PASS NEW YORK STATE VEHICLE INSPECTION DUE TO THIS ROT. I AM NOW IN THE PROCESS OF PAYING FOR THE REPLACEMENT AND REPAIR. INTERNET SEARCH NOTES THAT CHRYSLER HAS KNOWN OF THIS VERY IMPORTANT SAFETY DEFECT FOR YEARS! NO NOTIFICATION TO OWNERS AND NO RESOLUTION IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE

SUB FRAME RUSTED

PURCHASED A USED PACIFICA 2006 AND HAD OIL CHANGED AND FROM FURTHER WORK BECAUSE OF STRIPED OIL PLUG DISCOVERED SUB FRAME COMPLETELY ROTTED. HAVING TO LOAN MONEY FROM FAMILY, HAS CAUSED A HARDSHIP ON MY WIFE AND I AS WE ARE BOTH ON DISABILITY.

Mileage: 121,000

ENGINE CRADLE ROT DISCOVERED AT STATE INSPECTION.

Mileage: 102,452

WENT TO CHRYSLER DEALER FOR OIL CHANGE. WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED, WHERE CENTER STRUCTURE MEETS SIDE ARMS OF CRADLE IS SEVERELY RUSTED. CRACKS ARE FORMING ON SIDE ARMS. ADVISED CRADLE WILL EVENTUALLY FAIL. ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR $4,000-5,000. RECOMMENDED GETTING RID OF THE CAR (NOT SURE WHO I WOULD GET RID OF IT TO AS IT IS BASICALLY WORTHLESS AT THIS POINT). DEALER WOULDN'T EVEN RECOMMEND SELLING ME AN OIL CHANGE 4 PACK BECAUSE THEY DON'T THINK THE CAR WILL LAST THAT LONG. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 133,000 MILES ON IT AND WE HAD ANTICIPATED DRIVING IT FOR MANY MORE YEARS.

Mileage: 133,000

TAKATA RECALL, I WAS DRIVING MY VEHICLE WHEN IT JUST CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD.I POPPED THE HOOD TO SEE WHAT WAS WRONG,AND UNDERNEATH MY HOOD,SPARKS WAS FLYING EVERYWHERE.I TRIED JUMPING MY CAR TO GET IT HOME AND IT MELTED THE BATTERY CABLES

Mileage: 150,000

THE FRAME (ENGINE CARRIAGE) IS ROTTING OUT TO THE POINT THAT IT WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE IT. CHRYSLER WILL NOT HELP EVEN THOUGH THIS PROBLEM AFFECTS THOUSANDS OF PACIFICAS. IT WILL COST AT LEAST $1600 TO REPLACE AND THEN IT COULD HAPPEN AGAIN TO THE "NEW" FRAME SINCE IT IS THE SAME PART. THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN TO A 10 YEAR OLD CAR. MY MECHANIC IN 35 YEARS HAS ONLY REPLACED ONE AND IT WASN'T AS BAD AS MINE. ATTEMPTS TO CONTACT CHRYSLER ABOUT THE PROBLEM WERE NOT MET WITH SUCCESS! THERE ARE STORIES AND PICTURES ALL OVER THE INTERNET OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

Mileage: 135,468

THE SUB-FRAME HAS AND IS RUSTING FROM INSIDE OUT WITH HOLES AND SUCH, I WOULD THINK THIS IS A TRUE SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ON RECALL SEEING HOW IT WON'T PASS SAFETY INSPECTION IN NEW YORK STATE. I'VE NOTICE THAT THERE ARE HUNDREDS COMPLAINTS ON THIS SAME ISSUE, WHAT GIVES? THIS IS MY ONLY VEHICLE I USE FOR WORK COMMUTE AND SUCH AND AT THIS MOMENT IT HAS 145121 MILES ON IT AND I CAN'T AFFORD A NEW CAR.

Mileage: 145,000

"TAKATARECALL" THE MOTOR CRADLE IS CARRODED IN RUST AND THE PACIFICA IS ONLY GOT 70,000 MILES ON IT AND WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT ANY MORE AS THEY TOLD US THE MOTOR COULD FALL OUT! IT HAS BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT AND EVERYTHING IS NEW ON IT! THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SUB FRAME IS ALSO RUSTED OUT! I HAVE SEEN SO MANY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS ON THE COMPLAINT LIST AND I AM SHOCKED THAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS! I DID SEND A COMPLAINT ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, AND YOU DID NOTHING! THIS IS DANGEROUS IF WE HAD NOT KNOWN ABOUT IT, WE COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE PACIFICA AND THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE ONLY WAY WE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WAS I WAS CHECKING UNDERNEATH IT, AND THAT IS WHAT I FOUND! WE HAVE HAD MANY PEOPLE TELL US THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO HELP US. I HAVE SENT PICTURES BEFORE, AND I CAN SEND THEM AGAIN! PLEASE HELP US.

Mileage: 70,000

VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR ALIGNMENT AND I WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE CRADLE IS ROTTED OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I DID SOME HOMEWORK AND LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL PACIFICA'S. CHRYSLER HAS ONLY REPAIR ROUGHLY 7,000 VEHICLES MADE IS 2004 DURING A ONE MONTH PERIOD. THIS IS A MODEL/YEAR WIDE PROBLEM. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CURRENTLY PENDING.

Mileage: 114,000

WHEN TAKING MY CAR FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO SEVERE RUSTING OF THE ENGINE CRADLE. AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB, I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BUT FOR A VERY NARROW MANUFACTURING WINDOW. HOW LONG IS AN ENGINE CRADLE SUPPOSED TO LAST IF PROPERLY COATED? I ALSO SAW THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. ARE OTHERS IN THE SAME SITUATION GETTING ANY SATISFACTION FROM THIS ACTION? I SPENT $3,600 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE CRADLE WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM CHRYSLER. IF THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM, WHY ARE THEY JUST IGNORING IT? UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS OF THE ROTTED OUT CRADLE.

Mileage: 84,201

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND FOUND OUT THE VEHICLE SUBFRAME IS ALMOST RUSTED OUT. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 81000 MILES.

Mileage: 80,661

TOOK MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE CRADLE IS CRACKED AND RUSTED OUT. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WE ARE NOW UNABLE TO USE OUR CAR. WE CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR, AND ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PACIFICA'S THAT ARE EFFECTED, AND CHRYSLER ONLY RECALLED A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE PACIFICA'S. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART ON MY CAR, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THIS PART. THIS MISTAKE IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER.

DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE CROSSMEMBER OF MY PACIFICA WAS DANGEROUSLY CORRODED AND THEIR WAS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF FAILURE THAT WOULD RESULT IN MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FALLING OUT OF THE CAR. CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BUT ONLY FOR 7,000 2004-5 PACIFICAS. CLEARLY THIS PROBLEM GOES BEYOND THIS NUMBER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE WAS NO NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTED AND THERE ARE PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF PACIFICA OWNERS AT RISK OF CROSSMEMBERS FAILING.

Mileage: 75,000

I AM PROUD OWNER OF A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND REGULARLY HAD IT SERVICED. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM ASTONISHED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR, YET IT WAS LIMITED TO A VERY FEW OF THE CARS. MY MECHANIC SAID HE HASN'T EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT EVEN ON CARS 30 YEARS OLD! POTENTIAL INJURY/DEATH TO OCCUPANT AND OTHERS USING THE ROADS IF THE CRADLE FAILS AND ENGINE DROPS OUT WHILE DRIVING.CHRYSLER HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH PACIFICA'S SUSPENSIONS AND KNOWINGLY KEEPS THIS INFO FROM OWNERS AND REFUSES TO MAKE THE REPAIRS ( EST $5,023.86)S. BY THIS ACTION IT KNOWINGLY PUT OWNERS AT GRAVE RISK AND FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY. PEOPLE ARE LEFT WITH VEHICLES WITH NO RESALE VALUE AND THE RISK OF GREAT HARM.

Mileage: 130,000

ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT AND THE GAS CAP LIGHT ARE CONSTANTLY COMING ON. I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS OK AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS RESET AND A NEW GAS CAP PUT ON. ABOUT TWO DAYS LATER THE SAME THING HAPPENED AND AGAIN THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AS DID THE CHECK GAS CAP LIGHT. THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WAS RESET AND I WAS TOLD NOTHING IS WRONG. NOW WHEN I PARK THE VEHICLE I CAN SMELL GASOLINE VAPORS. AGAIN I HAD THE VEHICLE CHECKED AND WAS TOLD EVERYTHING WAS OK. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN 2008, HAD APPROX. 45,000 MILES ON THE CAR. AS OF THIS DATE, 03/28/2015 I HAVE APPROX 75,000 MILES ON THE CAR. WHAT COULD THE PROBLEM BE.

Mileage: 60,000

ENGINE CRADLE IS SEVERELY ROTTED AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT. SWAY BAR BUSHINGS AND FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNTS NEED REPLACEMENT.

DRIVING WITH KIDS FRONT OF VEHICLE KEPT FEELING AS IF THE WHOLE FRONT END WAS ABOUT YO FALL OFF. MECHANIC SD PROBABLY TIE ROD ENDS AND MOTOR MOUNT. TOOK TO MECHANIC WHEN THEY LIFTED THE CAR MY WHOLE ENGINE CRADLE WAS SEVERLY RUSTED, SEPERATED AND WAS TOLD LUCKY ENGINE DIDNT FALL THROUGH WHILE DRIVING. I CAN NOT SAFELY DRIVE CAR AND TO REPAIR IS THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS! BOUGHT AT A DEALERSHIP AUG 2012 THEY WILL NOT HELP WITH REPAIRS EITHER. I STILL OWE ON MY CAR AND IT COULD BE LIFE THREATNING TO DRIVE THIS CAR. VERY UPSET BUT THANKFUL ME AND THE KIDS DID NOT GET HURT. THE MECHANICS WERE IN SHOCK WHEN THEY SAW THE RUSTED OUT ENGINE CRADLE!

Mileage: 145,000

WHILE TRAVELING I HAD SOME ALIGNMENT ISSUES WITH MY CAR, I BROUGHT IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SERVICE AREA TO MAKE CERTAIN THE CAR WAS SAFE TO DRIVE HOME TO CONNECTICUT. WHILE I WAS TOLD IT WILL BE FINE TO MAKE IT HOME, MY SUBFRAME WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED DUE TO RUST. AS I RESEARCHED THIS, I SEE THAT THIS HAS BEEN AN ISSUE WITH THE PACIFICA 2004-2006 MODELS. BELOW ARE THE STATEMENTS FROM SERVICE: 1. SUB-FRAME BADLY RUSTED REPORTED 12/31/2015 BY CHRYSLER SERVICE EASTON, MD 2. FRONT SUB-FRAME NEARLY BROKEN 01/02/2016 BY TOWN FAIR TIRE, HAMDEN, CT.

Mileage: 99,163

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR STEERING PROBLEM AND WAS TOLD THAT THE SUBFRAME OR C-MEMBER WAS SO ROTTED IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. SURPRISINGLY THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD THE PART IN STOCK AT A COST OF $1570.00 PLUS THE ISOLATORS(4 X $58.95). THE TOTAL COST TO REPAIR SINCE I COULDN'T SELL THE CAR WAS $2519.65. IT SEEMS CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE ARE DANGEROUS VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND DOES NOTHING TO HELP OWNERS DEFER THE REPAIR COSTS. IF THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSIUT I WANT TO BE PART OF IT. I HAVE THE DOCUMENTATION AND PICTURES OF THE RUSTED FRAME ON AND OFF THE CAR ALONG WITH THE REPAIR BILL. IF NEEDED I CAN UPLOAD THE FILES.

Mileage: 146,082

TOOK MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR BRAKE SERVICE AND WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE ENGINE SUB-FRAME IS ROTTED AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY MECHANIC SEARCHED AROUND FOR SUB-FRAME AND THE LEAST EXPENSIVE USED WAS $950.00 PLUS LABOR. IN INVESTIGATING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SUB-FRAME ON THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA FROM 2004-2008. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PART? IF NOT IS THERE A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT ON THIS VEHICLE FOR THE ABOVE ITEM?

Mileage: 129,000

WENT TO GET MY OIL CHANGED AND WAS INFORMED MY SUBFRAME WAS VERY RUSTED AND THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR IS WASHED EVEN UNDERNEATH FREQUENTLY SO WAS VERY SURPRISING ON A CAR LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD UNTIL I STARTED DOING RESEARCH AND FOUND IT IS COMMON OCCURRENCE ON THESE YEARS OF PACIFICA. IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD BECAUSE IF THE SUBFRAME FAILS ENTIRELY THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

Mileage: 122,000

TOOK TO MECHANIC TO REPLACE LINKS IN WHEELS. MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF THE RUSTED THROUGH SUBFRAME. I DON'T WANNA BE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD THEN ALL THE SUDDEN MY ENGINE FALLS OUT. ONLY TRANSPORTATION I HAVE.

WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE ON MY 2006 PACIFICA AS I HAVE BEEN DOING ABOUT EVERY 6 MONTHS & WAS INFORMED THAT THEY COULDN'T TOUCH IT BECAUSE THE ENGINE WAS READY TO FALL THROUGH & WAS ADVISED NOT TO EVEN DRIVE IT HOME THAT DAY. SO IT TURNS OUT THAT THE SUB-FRAME WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED AWAY & BARELY HANGING IN THERE. THIS CAR IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD & HAS BEEN (FOR THE MOST PART) KEPT IN A GARAGE WHEN IT WASN'T IN USE. I SUBMITTED A CLAIM TO CHRYSLER & WAS INFORMED BY THE CAR DEALER WHERE I TOOK IT THAT THEY DENIED THE CLAIM & STATED THAT IT WAS AN ENVIRONMENTAL PROBLEM SO I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER WHY EVERYONE ELSE'S ENGINES AREN'T FALLING OUT IF THAT'S THE CASE.I CAN'T EVEN IMAGINE WHAT WOULD HAVE HAPPENED IF I HAD HIT ONE OF THESE POT HOLES THAT WE HAD TO DEAL WITH THIS SPRING AT 70 MPH ON THE EXPRESSWAY. SO HERE I AM WORKING FROM PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK JUST TRYING TO MAKE AN HONEST LIVING & KEEP MY LIGHTS TURNED ON & NOW FACING A $2,800.+ (BECAUSE OF OTHER DAMAGES TO VEHICLE BECAUSE ENGINE WAS SITTING OFF BALANCE) IF I WANT MY CAR BACK IN RUNNING CONDITION.

UPON REGULAR MAINTENANCE, THE AUTO MECHANIC DISCOVERED MY 2006 PACIFICA ENGINE CRADLE FRAME IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT. HE ADVISED ME THE COST OF REPAIR IS SO HIGH THAT IT IS NOT WORTH TO REPAIR. HE FURTHER REQUIRED ME TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE A SUBFRAME RUSTED THOUGH THE WHOLE METAL FRAME SINCE THE CAR WAS ALWAYS KEPT IN MARYLAND, WE HARDLY HAVE ANY SNOW IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. FROM THE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS SUBFRAME PROBLEM AFFECTED WAS COMMON IN MANY PACIFICA ON THE ROAD. WE FELT FORTUNATE THAT THE ENGINE HAS NOT DROPPED ON THE GROUND AND LEAD TO A FATAL CRASH. WHY THERE IS NOT RECALL ON THESE PACIFICAS .

Mileage: 175,000

PURCHASED FROM PRIVATE OWNER IN AUG 2015. ON SEPT. 10 2015 TOOK IT IN TO SHOP FOR ROTOR AND BRAKE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD TO PARK IT BECAUSE THE SUB CRADLE IS ALMOST ROTTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH 2 CHILDREN AND CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR OF THIS. ALREADY OWNING ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER WOULD BE WILLING TO FIX 04-05 MODELS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND NOT AN 06. CALLED THE SERVICE NUMBER AT CHRYSLER TWICE AND WAS TOLD 06 COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER THEIR RECALL. NOW I'M STUCK WITH AN AUTO THAT THE BODY AND ENGINE ARE TOTALLY SOLID AND GREAT LOOKING BUT ENGINE IS READY TO FALL OUT. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!

THE PACIFICA FLOOR SHIFTER WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE (2005-2007) CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHARGER, AND MAGNUM (CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION CODE K39), BUT IS NOT LISTED FOR THE PACIFICA. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER SPRING HOOK BREAKS AND PREVENTS THE SHIFTER FROM SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. THIS DEFECT IS NOTED FREQUENTLY ON THE CHRYSLER FORUMS (CHRYSLERFORUM.COM).

WHEN TAKING MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO BE SERVICED FOR BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT. MY VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN THE SHOP, NOT EVEN 30 MINUTES PASSED AND I WAS CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MECHANIC, THAT IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING MY MOTOR MOUNT HE NOTICED THAT MY CRADLE WAS ROTTED OUT AND VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THIS WAS A VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT ON MY VEHICLE, (STEERING, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND ECT.) ARE BEING HELD UP BY THE CRADLE, AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE CAN FALL OUT AT ANYTIME! I AM IN FEAR FOR MY FAMILY AND I, TO KNOW THAT WE TRAVEL AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREE WAY. WE LIVE IN A CITY WHERE THERE ARE MANY POT HOLES AND CRATERS IN THE STREETS WE DRIVE ON, AND TO KNOW THAT WE CAN BE IN DANGER IS INSANE. HE QUOTED ME AROUND $3,000 TO REPAIR AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO COVER THIS ISSUE. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING DONE BY THE CHRYSLER CORP. HOPEFULLY THIS SPEAKS FOR MANY OWNERS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE.

Mileage: 122,107

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THE SUBFRAME WAS CORRODED. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEAL TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THE DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE WEREN'T ANY FOR 2006. THERE WERE RECALLS FOR 2004 AND 2005 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM STATING THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS NOT PROPERLY COATED WHICH RESULTED IN THE RUST. THEY STATED THERE WAS A HIGHER INCIDENCE OF RUST IN SALT BELT STATES WHICH APPLIES TO THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR VEHICLES FROM 2004-2008. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FROM 2006 AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. THEY FELT AS THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN CORRECTED. I DISAGREE SINCE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED A YEAR LATER. I FEEL AS THOUGH CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

UPDATE ON EARLIER REPORT. HAD AN INDEPENDENT SEVICE STATION CHECK CONDITION OF RUSTING ENGINE CRADLE ON 7/21/15. MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THE ROT DAMAGE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, CAR SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. REAR ENGINE CRADLE CROSS MEMBER RUSTING OUT OVER THE YEARS DRIVEN, UNKNOWN TO ME. ALSO BROUGHT CAR TO CHRYSLER SEVICE STATION FOR THEIR MECHANIC'S INSPECTION ON 7/ 27/15. REPORTED THAT THE CRADLE WAS VERY RUSTY. LARGE RUSTED OUT HOLES IN THE STUCTURE ARE VERY EASY TO SEE. I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS O.K. TO DRIVE TODAY AND THAT THE ENGINE COULD FALL THROUGH AT ANY TIME LATER. NOT A SAFETY ISSUE ? WAS ALSO TOLD I COULD KEEP COMMING BACK REPETEDLY AT 52$ A POP TO HAVE THEM CHECK ON THE PROGRESSION OF THE ROT. QUOTED $2800 FOR REPAIR, CAR NOT WORTH THE COST, NOR CAN I AFFORD THE COST. I WAS RUSHED OUT OF THE SEVICE AREA AFTER BEING HANDED THE BILL. NO TALK ABOUT HOW THE CRADLE WAS MANUFACTURED POORLY, ONLY THAT I COULD SPRAY SOME TYPE OF RUST INHIBITOR ON THE EFFECTED AREAS. CHRYSLER HAS HAD MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND WIFE SITTING IN A CAR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THEM SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE FAULTY PRODUCT AND CONTINUED TO PRODUCE MORE. I DEPENDED ON THIS CAR EVERYDAY , I WAS HAPPY WITH IT UNTILL NOW. I WAS HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER INTILL NOW, THEY NEED TO STEP-UP AND FIX WHAT THEY KNOW WAS NOT SAFE TO START WITH. MY CAR NOW SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY UNTILL I CAN TAKE FURTHER ACTION.

I HAVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AWD LIMITED EDITION AND THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY RUST ON IT, AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH 165,000 MILES ON IT, EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE CRADLE WHICH HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES. THE DEALERSHIPS BOTH QUOTED OVER $3,000 FOR THE REPAIR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER HEAD QUARTERS AND WAS TOLD A LIMITED RECALL OF SOME 2004-2005 PACIFICA'S WAS ISSUED, BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE FOR MY 2006. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FIND COMPLAINTS FROM THOUSANDS OF PACIFICA OWNERS WITH MODELS RANGING FROM 2004-2008 ALL WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. GIVEN THE ENGINE COULD DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY MOMENT ON THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES I FIND IT IRRESPONSIBLE THE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED CHRYSLER TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. THANKFULLY THIS COUNTRY HAS LAWYERS WHO CAN ACT WHEN GOVERNMENT FAILS TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT HAS BEEN FILED IN OHIO BY CLARK, PERDUE, AND LIST LPA.

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.

I WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER CONSUMER THAT THE FRONT END AND ENGINE CRADLE, IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ARE RUSTING. THIS RUST PROBLEM IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO ACTUAL FALL OUT OF VEHICLES. AFTER HEARING OF THIS, I HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS CHECK MY VEHICLE. AFTER BOTH INSPECTIONS I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND IS NOT GOING TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE FOR MUCH LONGER. THE ESTIMATED TIME FRAME I WAS GIVEN IS BETWEEN 6-12 MONTHS. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I DRIVE LOCAL ONLY AND HAVE IT REINSPECTED EVERY THREE MONTHS FOR MY SAFETY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S RECALL CENTER ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS ISSUED AT THIS TIME FOR MY VEHICLE AND THEY DO NOT EXPECT THERE TO BE ANY. I CALLED DIRECTLY TO THE CHRYSLER CO. TO HEAR THE SAME THING THAT THE RECALL CENTER TOLD ME AND THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF HELPING PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THE HIGH COST OF REPAIRS AND WILL SOON BE OUT OF A ROAD SAFE VEHICLE.

FRAME AT MOTOR MOUNTS HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST. REST OF CAR IS VERY GOOD SHAPE WITH NO RUST. THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS MORE DAMAGE THAN PASSENGER BUT BOTH SIDE HAVE A GOOD REAL OF RUST IN THE ENGINE CRADLE AREA

ENGINE CRADLE HAS ROTTED OUT AT ONLY 88,550 MILES. THE ROT IS SO BAD YOU CAN LITERALLY PUSH THROUGH THE BOTTOM WITH YOUR FINGERS, CAUSING SEVERELY UNSTABLE STEERING/STOPPING/TURNING/ACCELERATING. THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE CAR. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND I WAS TOLD THAT "ITS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY" AND THAT "OUR DECISION IS FINAL" VIA EMAIL. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE VEHICLES OUT THERE WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BY CHRYSLER.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND MY MECHANIC FOUND A LOT OF REST ON THE UNDERSIDE OF THE CAR. HE BELIEVES IT IS RUST MUCH BEYOND A REASONABLE AMOUNT OF RUST. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CORPORATION ON MARCH 24, 2015. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NO WARRANTY AND NO COVERAGE FOR THE ISSUE. THEY ONLY COVER THE 2004 AND 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH THIS ISSUE. THE AMOUNT OF RUST IS UNREASONABLE FOR A 2006 VEHICLE WITH 120,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME MY FRAME IS RUSTED OUT AND HAS HOLES IN IT. HE SAYS HE HAS NEVER SEEN THIS IN A CAR OF THIS AGE. I KNOW THIS IS A PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX IT BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. WE HAVE ALWAYS BOUGHT DODGE AND CHRYSLER CARS FOR THE PAST 20 YEARS, BUT IF I HAVE TO BUY A NEW CAR AND CHRYSLER DOESN'T HELP WITH THIS FIX OF THE FRAME I WILL NOT BUY A DODGE OR CHRYSLER AGAIN ! *TR

I AM FILING THIS COMPLAINT AFTER LEARNING OF THE RECENT CHRYSLER RECALL ON 9/21/14. MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FREQUENTLY STALLS AND LEAKS SOMETHING. NOT SURE IF IT IS A FUEL LEAK. ALL CHRYSLER SUVS SHOULD BE RECALLED! *TR

WHEN HAVING MY BRAKES REPLACED, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE STEEL FRAME OF THE VEHICLE COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER WARRANTY DEPARTMENT WHO INFORMED ME THAT ONLY A SMALL WINDOW OF VEHICLES BUILT IN 2004 QUALIFIED FOR THE RECALL. APPARENTLY THIS IS HAPPENING ON THE MODEL VEHICLE TO MANY PEOPLE WITH NO RELIEF FROM CHRYSLER. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 89000 MILES ON IS A TIME BOMB DO TO CORROSION OF THE ENGINE CRADLE,MY MECHANIC CALL CHRYSLER DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL ON IT AND WAS TOLD NO.I CONTACT CHRYSLER MY SELF TO SEE IF THEIR WILL HELP WITH THE COST THE ANSWER SORRY NO WARRANTY GOOD LUCK WITH THE REPAIR ,I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOBODY DUE, SOME THINK CHRYSLER DEFINITELY WONT DO NOTHING ABBOT THEIR PRODUCT. UNTIL SOME BODY DIE. *TR

CAR HAS STALLED (ENGINE CUTS OUT COMPLETELY) WITHOUT ANY WARNING AND WHILE BEING DRIVEN AT LEAST 4 TIME. MOST RECENT WAS WHILE MERGING ONTO FREEWAY IT JUST STOPPED, NEARLY CAUSING FATAL ACCIDENT TO MY DAUGHTER WHO WAS DRIVING AT THE TIME. COMPLETE SHUT DOWN OF CAR CAUSES THE STEERING WHEEL TO LOCK WITH NO MEANS OF GETTING TO SIDE OF ROAD. YOU'RE A SITTING DUCK FOR A CRASH. FORTUNATELY, SHE GOT THE CAR IN PARK AND RESTARTED IT. THE CAR IS AT STEVENS CREEK CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP (TOWED THERE TODAY). I AM ALSO IN TOUCH WITH CHRYSLER CORPORATION REGARDING THIS FLAW AND REPARATIONS THAT ARE DUE ME FROM THIS LEMON. THE DEALERSHIPS NUMBER IS 408 248-1800. THEY ARE AWARE I AM PURSUING MY OPTIONS WITH THIS DANGEROUS CAR AND I REALLY DON'T WANT IT BACK EVEN IF THEY TELL ME THEY'VE FIXED IT. I DON'T TRUST THIS PROBLEM AS IT'S RAMPANT AND CARS ARE BEING RECALLED FOR THIS REASON. IT'S A BLESSING MY DAUGHTER WASN'T KILLED FROM WHAT THIS CAR DID.
