NHTSA Complaint #10733478 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I HAVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AWD LIMITED EDITION AND THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY RUST ON IT, AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH 165,000 MILES ON IT, EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE CRADLE WHICH HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES. THE DEALERSHIPS BOTH QUOTED OVER $3,000 FOR THE REPAIR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER HEAD QUARTERS AND WAS TOLD A LIMITED RECALL OF SOME 2004-2005 PACIFICA'S WAS ISSUED, BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE FOR MY 2006. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FIND COMPLAINTS FROM THOUSANDS OF PACIFICA OWNERS WITH MODELS RANGING FROM 2004-2008 ALL WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. GIVEN THE ENGINE COULD DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY MOMENT ON THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES I FIND IT IRRESPONSIBLE THE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED CHRYSLER TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. THANKFULLY THIS COUNTRY HAS LAWYERS WHO CAN ACT WHEN GOVERNMENT FAILS TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT HAS BEEN FILED IN OHIO BY CLARK, PERDUE, AND LIST LPA.
