NHTSA Complaint #10577806 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

AFTER HAVING $1600.00 OF FRONT END WORK ON MY VEHICLE THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULD GET RID OF THIS CAR BECAUSE THE SUB FRAME IS SEVERELY ROTTED AND NOT SAFE. THIS SUB FRAME SUPPORTS THE WHOLE ENGINE AND IF IT FAILS THE ENGINE WILL COLLAPSE TO THE GROUND. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE IS NO ROT AT ALL ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE CAR. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES MADE IN EVERY YEAR NOT JUST 2004-2005. I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY NO HELP IS AVAILABLE. IT IS DEFECTIVE STEEL THAT WAS USED AND I'VE HAD MUCH OLDER CARS THAT THE FRAME HASN'T ROTTED THROUGH AND I FEEL IT'S A DEADLY ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR
