NHTSA Complaint #10838726 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

DURING AN INSPECTION OF THE CAR, IT WAS OBSERVED THAT SEVERE CORROSION OF THE ENGINE CRADLE HAS OCCURRED. THE CORROSION IS SEVERE ENOUGH THAT IT WAS RECOMMENDED THAT THE CAR NOT BE DRIVEN. ON THE INTERNET I NOTE THAT THERE WERE RECALLS (OR REPAIRS) BY CHRYSLER FOR 2005 MODEL YEAR CARS BUT NOT 2006. THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE EXCEPT FOR THIS CRADLE MOUNT CORROSION. I NOW HAVE TO REPAIR THE CAR FOR A COST THAT IS MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH, OR REPLACE THE PACIFICA WITH EQUIVALENT FOR MUCH MORE MONEY. CHRYSLER SHOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE. OBVIOUSLY, MORE THAN THE 2005 CARS ARE INVOLVED. ACCORDING TO THE INTERNET, THERE HAVE BEEN MANY REPORTS OF THIS PROBLEM
