NHTSA Complaint #10881646 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I BROUGHT MY CART TO MY MECHANIC FOR A ROUTINE SERVICE AND WHEN MY MECHANIC PUT IT ON THE LIFT, HE CALLED US SHORTLY AFTER, AND WANTED US TO COME IN TO SEE THE VEHICLE ON THE LIFT.. THE CAR'S FRAME WAS RUSTING THROUGH ON BOTH THE FRONT AND BACK. HE TOLD US IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND THAT HE SAW THIS ON OTHER PACIFICA'S HE SERVICED. HE STATED HE NEVER SAW THIS OCCUR ON OTHER BRANDS NOW WE HAVE NO VEHICLE TO DRIVE. THE CAR IS IN GOOD CONDITION AND HAS ABOUT 85,000 MILES. IF THIS CAR WAS DRIVEN ON THE HIGHWAY, AS WE PLANNED FOR THE HOLIDAY WEEKEND (JULY 4) WITHOUT BRINGING IT TO A MECHANIC, WE COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED. HOW DOES SAFETY OF PASSENGERS GET COMPROMISED WHEN IT APPEARS THAT 7000 CARS WERE PRODUCED AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS WITH THIS SPECIFIC PROBLEM ON THIS MODEL HAVE BEEN FILED!.
