NHTSA Complaint #10891729 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

TAKATA RECALL I RECENTLY TOOK A LOAN OUT AND PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FROM A DEALER NEARBY. WHEN MY MECHANIC LOOKED AT IT HE COULD NOT UNDERSTAND HOW THE DEALERSHIP PASSED THE SAFETY INSPECTION A MONTH AGO. HE SAID THE RUST WAS SPREAD ALL ACROSS FRONT ENGINE CRADLE OR THE VEHICLE. HE DID NOT THINK I SHOULD BE DRIVING THE VEHICLE BECAUSE THE ENGINE COULD DROP OUT DUE TO THE RUST. LOOKING UP ANY SAFETY RECALLS AND NOTICED THERE WERE NONE. ONLY A SERVICE BULLETIN THAT STATES CHRYSLER WILL ONLY FIX THE PROBLEM IF YOU ARE LOCATED WITHIN THE SALT STATES AND THE VEHICLE IS WITHIN THE 10 YEAR OR 150,000 MILES. I AM 6 MONTHS PAST THE 10 YEAR WITH ONLY 105,000 AND LOCATED IN A SALT STATE. I PURCHASED MY VEHICLE JUST OVER 30 DAYS AGO SO THE DEALERSHIP WILL NOT DO ANYTHING. CHRYSLER SHOULD REALLY MAKE GOOD ON FIXING THIS MAJOR SAFETY HAZARD IF THEY WANT BUYERS TO TRUST THEIR PRODUCT. I AM NOW PAYING A LOAN ON A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE!!!
