NHTSA Complaint #10679719 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

OUR VEHICLE HAS HAD A SHAKE TO IT FOR A COUPLE YEARS. WE HAVE HAD IT LOOKED AT NUMEROUS TIMES AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY CAN'T FIND ANYTHING WRONG WITH IT. OUR VEHICLE WENT INTO A SHOP TODAY AS THE INSPECTION IS DUE BY END OF JAN. 2015 . THE SHOP CALLED AND ADVISED OUR ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THRU. ADVISED US IT WOULD COST A COUPLE THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR. I DID SOME LOOKING ON THE INTERNET, FOUND OUT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL ON ENGINE CRADLES THAT WERE NOT PROPERTY COATED WHICH ALLOWED RUST TO DAMAGE THE CRADLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER - AND WAS TOLD THAT THE RECALL WAS FOR VEH MADE BETWEEN 2/23/04 - 3/31/04. MY VEHICLE WAS MADE 7/04. MY DAUGHTER, ON OUR ADVICE, OWNS THE SAME YEAR OF THE VEHICLE. HER VEHICLE WAS MADE 9/04. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THEY CAN'T HELP ME AND ENDED THE CONVERSATION. THERE ARE SO MANY COMPLAINTS ON THE INTERNET ALL DEALING WITH THE ENGINE CRADLE ISSUE. WE CAN'T AFFORD TO HAVE THIS REPAIRED AT THIS TIME AS I AM ILL AND NOT ABLE TO WORK AND MY HUSBAND (55 YEARS OLD) HAD A HEART ATTACK ON HIS 55TH BIRTHDAY AND HAS JUST GONE BACK TO WORK. I AM SICK OVER THIS AND AFRAID TO TELL MY HUSBAND FOR FEAR HE WILL HAVE ANOTHER HEART ATTACK. CHRYSLER SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF THEIR SELVES. THANK YOU FOR LISTENING. *TR
