NHTSA Complaint #10806594 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

RUST THROUGH OF ENGINE CRADLE AT VARIOUS SPOTS ON ENGINE CRADLE. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER. THE CAR HAS 80500 MILES. CONTACTED FCA VIA PHONE. FCA SAYS MY PACIFICA DOES NOT FIT THE NARROWLY DEFINED MANUFACTURE DATE OF 02/28/2004 TO 03/31/2004. MY PACIFICA WAS MANUFACTURED ON08/2004 AND THEREFORE DOES NOT QUALIFY FOR EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE. MY LOCAL FCA DEALER GAVE ME AN ESTIMATE OF ABOUT $ 2600 TO REPLACE. THIS PROBLEM WAS NOTICED DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE RECENTLY. I AM THE ONLY ONE WHO DRIVES THE CAR ON A LIMITED BASIS WITH NO PASSENGERS.
