NHTSA Complaint #10809589 — 2007 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

WHEN DEPRESSING THE ACCELERATOR, THE CAR MAKES A GRINDING OR CLUNKING NOISE . WE LIFTED THE HOOD, PUT THE CAR IN DRIVE AND DEPRESSED THE PARKING BRAKE. WE THEN APPLIED ACCELERATOR AND THE FRONT OF THE ENGINE LIFTED FROM THE MOTOR MOUNT A GOOD 2 OR 3 INCHES. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND THIS ACTUALLY STARTED DOING THIS SHORTLY AFTER I PURCHASED IT IN JUNE OF 2014. IT HAD 97000 MILES AND NOW HAS 117000 MILES. I AM FEARFUL OF HAVING THE ENGINE COME COMPLETELY OFF THE FRAME. I AM TAKING IT TO MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NEXT WEEK. I CANNOT BELIEVE WITH ALL THE COMPLAINTS THAT THIS MODEL HAS THAT IT HAS NOT BEEN RECALLED. I GUESS SINCE NO ONE HAS DIED YET OR BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED THE MANUFACTURER MUST FEEL FAIRLY CONFIDENT THAT THEY WILL JUST WAIT TILL EVERYONE STOPS BUYING THEM. WELL, I AM SELLING MY CAR AFTER IT IS FIXED. I HAVE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE THE SHIFTER REPLACED BECAUSE THAT WENT OUT ABOUT 3 MONTHS AGO AND MY MECHANIC HAD TO REPLACE IT. I THINK I SHOULD BE REIMBURSED FOR THAT AS WELL, AND YOU CAN BE SURE I AM KEEPING ALL OF MY RECEIPTS FOR REPAIRS THAT I SHOULD NOT EVEN HAVE TO MAKE ON AN 8 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.
