NHTSA Complaint #10565222 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I JUST WANT TO VOICE MY FEELINGS ON THIS COMPANY (CHRYSLER) CONCERNING THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2005 AWD WHY WASN'T THIS CAR RECALLED AS A WHOLE. IT IS A PIECE OF CRAP I BOUGHT THIS CAR AS A RELIABLE FAMILY CAR BEING THAT I AM A SINGLE MOTHER OF 5. I RESEARCHED THIS CAR TO MAKE SURE THAT IT WAS GOING TO BE THE RIGHT FIT. I HAVE HAD TO BUY 3 BATTERIES FOR THIS CAR WHICH TO ME SEEMS TO BE A LOT. THE CAR BURNED OIL CONSTANTLY AND NO ONE COULD TELL ME WHERE THE OIL WAS GOING, I HAD TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNT CHANGED I HAD TO REPLACE THE EGR VALVE FAILED MY EMISSIONS BECAUSE OF IT RIGHT AFTER MEANING SECONDS AFTER IT WAS CHANGED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME BACK ON WHILE AT THE SHOP SHOWING THAT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER NEEDED TO BE CHANGED! NOT ONLY DID I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE EGR VALVE BUT I ALSO HAD TO BUY A TWO YEAR WAIVER FOR MY EMISSIONS IN ORDER TO GET MY TABS BECAUSE THERE WAS NO WAY THAT I WAS GOING TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD A CATALYTIC CONVERTER. GOT THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER CHANGED AND THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT WENT OFF FOR ABOUT A MONTH OR SO BUT CAME RIGHT BACK ON. HAD TO GET THE RADIATOR REPAIRED AND NOW THERE IS 5 DIFFERENT CODES POPPING UP P0305, P0404, P0736, P179, AND P0720 IM SURE THESE CODES MEAN NOTHING TO YOU BUT I NEEDED TO ADDRESS. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SO MANY COMPLAINTS WERE MADE AND THESE ARE FROM FAMILIES PEOPLE WHO SPEND A LITTLE MORE MONEY ON SOMETHING THAT IS NOT A MINI VAN TO END UP WITH SOME CRAP!!!!! NO ONE WANTS TO SPEND THEIR HARD ERNED MONEY ON CAR REPAIRS WHEN I HAVE TO MAKE LIFE DECSIONS ON FOOD ON THE TALBE OR FIX MY CAR WELL WE ARE EATING RICE. I AM ATTACHING LINKS FROM ONLINE COMPLAINTS.
