NHTSA Complaint #10588228 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I LIVE IN PENNSYLVANIA WHERE THE WINTERS ARE HARSH AND SALT IS USED. I WENT TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED AND IT FAILED DO TO RUSTED/HOLES IN THE CARRIAGE AND RUSTED/HOLES IN THE ROCKER PANELS. I FOUND AN ARTICLE ONLINE HTTP://WWW.NBCCHICAGO.COM/INVESTIGATIONS/MINIVAN-OWNERS-WANT-CHRYSLER-TO-CONCEDE-RUST-PROBLEMS-241535881.HTML SO I CONTACT CHRYSLER AS WELL AND SPOKE TO TWO DIFFERENT PEOPLE AND WAS TOLD MY PACIFICA WAS OUTSIDE THE TIME FRAME AS WELL. CAN YOU TELL ME WHY 2005 PACIFICA'S ARE LISTED AS HAVING THE PROBLEM IF THEY TIME FRAME IS IN 2004. MY CAR WAS MADE MARCH 18, 2005 SO IT IS NOT ELIGIBLE. I ASK WHY NOT??? I AM HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE OTHER "TIME FRAMED" VEHICLES. IS MY LIFE NOT AS WORTHY AS THE "TIME FRAMED" LIVES??? I THINK THIS IS ALL A BIT RIDICULOUS. I BELIEVE CHRYSLER NEEDS TO FIX THIS PROBLEM BEFORE SOMEONE GETS HURT. HAVING THE CARRIAGE OF YOUR VEHICLE RUST THROUGH WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING THAT ITS DOING IT IS A SAFETY ISSUE!! IF I'M EXPECTED TO KEEP MY CAR UP FOR SAFETY REASONS THEN WHY IS CHRYSLER NOT EXPECTED TO FIX A PROBLEM THEY KNOW IF WRONG NO MATTER WHAT THE "TIME FRAME". I WOULD APPRECIATE SOMEONE CONTACTING ME ASAP. I AM NOT WORKING AT THIS TIME AND DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO COME UP TO GET THIS FIXED. I TOOK IT TO AN AUTOBODY SHOP AND WAS TOLD THAT TO GET THE CARRIAGE AND THE ROCKER PANELS FIXED IT WOULD COST ME $3066. SO WHY AM I THE ONE WHO HAS TO COME UP AND FIX CHRYSLER'S PROBLEM THAT THEY KNOW IS A PROBLEM AND REFUSE TO FIX BECAUSE OF A 'TIME FRAME'. BY THE WAY WHEN I ASKED TO HAVE THEM RECONSIDER AND HAVE SOMEONE LOOK INTO MY PROBLEM I WAS TOLD A DECISION WAS ALREADY MADE AND WE AREN'T RESPONSIBLE. WHO IS GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE WHEN MY CAR RUSTS IN HALF AND I HAPPEN TO DRIVE IT AND IT JUST FALLS APART? THANK YOU *TR
