Consumer Description

2005 PACIFICA BOUGHT FROM DEALER NOW OUT OF BUSINESS. VEHICLE FAILED PENNSYLVANIA STATE INSPECTION IN JULY 2017 FOR ROTTED SUB FRAME / K FRAME. HAD JUST SPENT $600 ON A CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW THE ESTIMATE IS $3100 FOR A NEW SUB FRAME... THIS COST TOTALS THE VEHICLE AND I'LL HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE AND I'M OUT $600 TO BOOT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. RUST PREVENTION UNDERCOATING NOT DONE OR NOT DONE PROPERLY. SOME SAY IT WAS SKIPPED ENTIRELY. PROBLEM IS REPORTED ON THE WEB OFTEN AND IS WELL KNOWN. VEHICLE CANNOT PASS STATE INSPECTION AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY. ENGINE COULD FALL OUT THE BOTTOM. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT OR SOME GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THE VEHICLE IS WORSE THAN USELESS, IT'S DANGEROUS.
