NHTSA Complaint #10366708 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

WHILE DRIVING AND COMING TO A STOP ONCE I PRESSED ON THE GAS TO START AGAIN THE CAR WOULD MAKE A BUCKING MOVEMENT AND THEN PROCEED TO MOVE ON AS NORMAL. WELL ONE DAY CAR STARTED TO OVER HEAT AS OIL GAUGE RAISED, SO PULLED THE CAR OVER AND LET IT COOL DOWN. WENT TO LOCAL GAS STATION TO PICK UP COOLANT AND POURED IT IN AND THEN STARTED CAR TO SEE THAT IT WAS ALL GUSHING OUT THE FRONT END. COULD NOT DRIVE IT SO HAD IT TOWED TO A LOCAL GARAGE FOR REPAIR. COME TO FIND OUT THAT A FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNT HAD BROKEN CAUSING THE MOTOR TO SHIFT SLIGHTLY EVERY TIME I PRESSED THE GAS WITH THIS MOTOR SHIFTING IT WENT OVER ENOUGH TO LOOSEN AND UNDO THE RADIATOR HOSE WHICH CAUSED THE CAR TO OVERHEAT. THE FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNTS WERE REPLACED, BUT IT SEEMS THERE MAY BE MORE UNDERLYING ISSUES DUE TO THE MOTORS MOVEMENT. *TR
