NHTSA Complaint #10683431 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I WAS PERFORMING A COMPLETE BRAKE JOB ON MY VEHICLE AND NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE ON MY VEHICLE IS RUSTED OUT. I DON'T MEAN SURFACE RUST, THERE ARE ACTUAL HOLES IN THE ENGINE CRADLE. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND ALL THEY CAN TELL ME IS THAT MY VEHICLE IS OUT OF WARRANTY. I FIND IT TOTALLY RIDICULOUS FOR CHRYSLER NOT TO STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. THIS IS MY NO MEANS NORMAL, I OWN A 1965 THUNDERBIRD WITH NOT A BIT OF ROT ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. WHAT THE HELL IS CHRYSLER AND/OR THE NHTSA WAITING FOR TO RECALLED AND REPAIR THESE FAULTY VEHICLES , SOMEONE TO DIE FIRST ? YOUR AGENCY WILL HAVE SOMEONE'S BLOOD ON YOU HANDS ALSO IF SOMEONE DIES IN AN ACCIDENT CAUSED BY THIS DEFECT.I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THAT CHRYSLER IS PAYING YOU GUYS OFF OR SOMETHING. ALL THIS BRINGS TO MIND THE FIASCO OF THE CHRYSLER 2.7L ENGINE THAT FAILED IN THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES DUE TO THE POOR DESIGN OF THAT ENGINE. NO RECALL WAS EVER FORCED UPON CHRYSLER FOR THAT DEBACLE AND I AM BEGINNING TO THINK THE SAME THING WILL APPLY HERE ALSO. PEOPLE SPEND GOOD MONEY FOR THESE FLAWED VEHICLES THEN WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS THE NHTSA AND CHRYSLER BOTH BASICALLY SAY THE HELL WITH THE CONSUMER. THERE IS NO WAY THE NHTSA CAN BELIEVE THAT AN ENGINE CRADLE ROTTING OUT IN 8-9 YEAR AND IN A LOT OF CASES LESS TIME THAN THAT IS ACCEPTABLE. I THOUGHT THAT YOUR ORGANIZATION WAS HERE TO PROTECT THE PUBLIC AND SEE THAT THESE TYPE OF THINGS DON'T HAPPEN.PLEASE EXPLAIN TO ME HOW AND WHY CHRYSLER IS GETTING AWAY WITH THIS. OHHH, I KNOW, NO ONE HAS DIED YET !!! *TR
