NHTSA Complaint #10507538 — 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

WE HAVE JUST FOUND OUT THE SUB FRAME OF OUR 2004 PACIFICA IS SEVERELY RUSTED OUT. IT ONLY HAS 120,000 MILES ON IT AND IT ONLY 9 YEARS OLD! THERE IS NO RUST WHATSOEVER ON THE BODY OF THE CAR BUT UNDERNEATH IS COMPLETELY CORRODED. THIS IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD AND FROM WHAT I READ IT'S NOT UNCOMMON. CHRYSLER HAS ONLY ISSUED AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THE SUBFRAME FOR A 30 DAY PERIOD OF PRODUCTION BUT APPARENTLY IT'S MORE THEN JUST THE ONES MADE IN THAT MONTH! CHRYSLER SAYS TO KEEP THE RECEIPTS IN CASE THE HAVE A RECALL BUT WHAT GETS ME IS WHY IS THERE NO RECALL YET!?! THIS IS NOT NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR AND AGAIN IT'S EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. THEY MUST OF SKIPPED A COAT OF PROTECTANT OR SOMETHING WENT WRONG BECAUSE IT'S NOT COINCIDENCE THAT THOUSANDS OF OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 / 2005 YEAR. YOU PURCHASE A VEHICLE TRUSTING TO PUT YOUR FAMILIES LIVE IN IT AND MAKE IT FROM POINT A TO B. BUT THE SUBFRAME IT THE LIFE LINE OF THE VEHICLE AND FOR CHRYSLER TO STILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS IS PRETTY IRRESPONSIBLE ON THEIR PART! ONE OF THE EVEN SCARIER THINGS IS THAT OTHERS THAT ARE NOT AWARE OF THE PROBLEM ARE OUT THERE DRIVING THEIR VEHICLES ON THE ROAD AND COULD BE A HAZARD FOR OTHERS! *TR
