Consumer Description

I RECENTLY TOOK MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN TO HAVE THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM REPAIRED AND THE MECHANIC CALLED AND TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED OUT AND THE CAR WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. I DID A QUICK GOOGLE SEARCH AND DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH PACIFICA'S. ACCORDING TO THE INFORMATION THAT I FOUND, CHRYSLER ORIGINALLY DISTRIBUTED A LETTER INDICATING THAT IT WOULD COVER 2004 AND 2005 MODELS ONLY TO SEND OUT A LATER LETTER DRASTICALLY REDUCING THE NUMBER OF CARS THAT WOULD BE COVERED ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. IT'S APPARENT THAT THIS IS A WIDESPREAD ISSUE. IN 1998 FORD RECALLED 2.6 MILLION VEHICLES FOR A SIMILAR ISSUE. CHRYSLER SHOULD FOLLOW SUIT AND DO THE SAME THING. *TR
