Consumer Description

THE REAR MOTOR ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS FAILED BY BUSTING UNDER TORQUE LOAD. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE CONDITION FOR THIS PART AS IT IS FLUID FILLED AND CONTINUALLY ALLOWS DAMAGING CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP TO THE ENGINE IF NOT REPAIRED. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS MANY OWNER HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT IT. THEY CONTINUED TO DO NOTHING. THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AS OF NOW WITH 1900+ OUTSTANDING. I CANNOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY UNTIL THE DEALERS TAKE SHIPMENT OF THE PART. GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL SEE IT IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER OWNERS. OWNERS ARE EVEN CONSIDERING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART AT A MINIMUM. *TR
