Consumer Description

I OWN A 2005 PACIFICA LIMITED, I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2009 FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR FOR SERVICING (OIL CHANGE, REPAIRS, ECT). NOT ONCE WAS I INFORMED (DURING THE PURCHASE OR ANY TIME DURING SERVICING THE PACIFICA) ABOUT THE ROTTING SUBFRAME. I HAVE ALL OF MY RECORDS SHOWING THE INSPECTION UNDERNEATH WITH NO MENTION OF THE ROTTING/RUSTED SUBFRAME. THIS CAR BELONGS TO MY WIFE AND SHE DRIVES OUR TWO KIDS IN THIS CAR (NOT ANYMORE). AFTER REVIEWING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I AM VERY UPSET AND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION. I HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND THE WHOLE TIME IT COULD HAVE BEEN FROM THE ROTTING/RUSTED SUBFRAME (THAT WAS NEVER MENTIONED). I HAVE PUT SOOOO MUCH MONEY INTO THE REPAIRS OF THIS CAR AND I FEEL LIKE MOST COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED, HAD I KNOWN ABOUT THE SUBFRAME.
