NHTSA Complaint #11152987 — 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA

I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE THE WATER PUMP REPLACED WHICH HE DID. BUT HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE CRADLE HOLDING THE ENGINE IN WAS ALL RUSTED OUT. AND THAT THE ENGINE COULD JUST FALL OUT AT ANY MOMENT. AND THAT THE CAR WOULD STOP I WOULD LOSE STEERING. HE DID SHOW ME HE PICTURES ON HIS PHONE. AND TOLD ME HE WOULD LOOK FOR A CRADLE FOR MY CAR. SO I WENT HOME TO CHECK THIS PROBLEM OUT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT OTHER PACIFICA'S WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ALSO. SO I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO COMPENSATE US AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED. LUCKILY MY MECHANIC LET ME KNOW THIS SO THAT I WOULD NOT BE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. AFTER REALIZING I COULD MAKE A COMPLAINT I ASK MY MECHANIC IF HE STILL HAD THE PICTURES ON HIS PHONE. NO HE DID NOT HE HAD DROPPED HIS PHONE IN THE WATER WHILE FISHING. BUT IF YOU LOOK ON THE INTERNET YOU WILL SEE OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE HAD THIS PROBLEM ALSO WITH THEIR PACIFICA'S. AND THERE ARE YOUTUBE VIDEO SHOWING HOW THIS MUST BE REPAIRED AND HOW TO PUT A NEW CRADLE ON TO THE PACIFIC. IT'S NOT AN EASY OR FUN JOB AND IT IS AN EXPENSIVE JOB IF YOU CAN FIND A CRADLE.
