NHTSA Complaint #11140674 — 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

ON 10/11/18 I TOOK MY VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC FOR A STATE INSPECTION AND WAS INFORMED BY THE MECHANIC THAT SUB FRAME WAS RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT ITS UNSAFE TO DRIVE AND WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. I WAS ADVISED THAT THERE WOULD A BE A RECALL ON THIS AND I CONTACTED A CHRYSLER DEALER AND I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NOT. DOING RESEARCH I FOUND THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THAT HAS BEEN REPORTED HUNDREDS OF TIMES. THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR THIS WOULD BE BETWEEN $2000-$4000 AND CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS VERY UNSAFE PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR. I WAS ADVISED THAT I CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR ANYMORE DUE TO THIS ISSUE. I AM THE SOLE PROVIDER AND TRANSPORTATION FOR THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND CANNOT AFFORD TO BE WITHOUT THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE SPOKEN TO A LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND ALSO SPOKE TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE ABOUT THIS. THE TOLD ME THAT THE POTENTIAL DANGER WOULD BE MY ENGINE FALLING OUT WHILE DRIVING.
