2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Engine Problems

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, ORIGINAL OWNER, 60306 MILES. CAR WAS BEING SERVICED AND THE SUBFRAME HAS ALMOST COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, MAKING THE CAR UNDRIVEABLE. CONTACTED LOCAL DEALER AND WAS GIVEN CHRYSLER CUST SERVICE NUMBER. CAR BUILT IN SEPT 2003, SAID DOS NOT QUALIFY FOR CHRYSLER (APPARENTLY SECRET) EXTENDED WARRANTY. FILED A COMPLAINT WITH CHRYSLER, BUT THEY WILL NOT PROVIDE ANY REPLY TO THEIR "REVIEW" . WE WERE FORTUNATE THAT WE WERE NOT SERIOUSLY INJURED, OR KILLED AS A RESULT OF THIS QUALITY ISSUE..... AND SUBSEQUENT REFUSAL TO CORRECT BY CHRYSLER. ANYWAY TO INVESTIGATE THIS CONSUMER SAFETY ISSUE? *TR

MY 2004 PACIFICA WAS RECENTLY IN FOR OIL CHANGE WHEN MECHANIC SAID THE ENGINE SUB FRAME IS STARTING TO RUST OUT AND THIS WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION. I WAS TOLD TO GO TO JUNK YARD TO FIND SUB FRAME AND SOMEONE WILL NEED TO INSTALL IT. I HAVE SEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT PACIFICA SUB FRAME RUST AND EVEN A CLASS ACTION SUIT FILLED IN OHIO IN JAN 2015. WILL CHRYSLYER COVER THIS ISSUE?

I HAVE A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, I LOVE THE WAY THE CAR HANDLES. BUT IT IS COSTING ME A FORTUNE. I RECENTLY TOOK IT TO BE INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE HAS ROTTED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE. I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT SUSPENSION, STABILIZERS, AND BRAKES NUMEROUS TIMES IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS NOW THE ENGINE CRADLE NEEDS TO BE REPLACED AND THERE IS NO RECALL ON IT, YET IT IS AN EXTREME SAFETY PROBLEM. THIS IS A REPLACEMENT THAT COULD COST UP TO $4000. IT IS JUST NOT WORTH THE TROUBLE. *TR

I DRIVE A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I WAS DRIVING A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO AND I HEARD A NOISE UNDER THE HOOD THAT WAS ABNORMAL. THE NOISE CONTINUED EVERY LITTLE BUMP, TURN, ETC. I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE MECHANIC AND HE SAID THAT MY ENGINE CRADLE HAS RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY THROUGH THE METAL. HE MENTIONED THAT CHRYSLER HAD ISSUED A RECALL ON CERTAIN MODELS AND WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER THEY TOLD ME THAT MY CAR WAS NOT COVERED IN THE RECALL. UPON RESEARCHING THE TOPIC, I FOUND THAT IT IS A VERY COMMON OCCURRENCE WITH 2004 AND 2005 PACIFICAS AND SEVERAL OTHERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM THAT I AM AS FAR AS CHRYSLER REFUSING TO FIX THE CRADLE. I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE ON MAY 9TH, 2014 FOR $6,000 AND I AM BEING EXPECTED TO PUT $3,500 OF WORK INTO IT NOT EVEN A YEAR LATER? THERE IS...

ENGINE CRADLE IS VERY RUSTED THROUGH, NEED TO REPAIR, RECEIVING ESTIMATES OF $3,000. *TR

I HAVE A CHRYSLER PACIFICA 2004 (FWD) AND I AM HAVING PROBLEM WITH STALLING WHILE DRIVING AND ITS HAPPED SO MANY TIMES. I WAS SEARCHING ON GOGLE ABOUT THIS MATTER AND I NOTICED SO MANY SAME COMPLAIN ABOUT THIS CAR. ITS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, I HAVE NO OTHER ISSUE WITH THIS CAR.PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS MATTER. THANK YOU VERY MUCH *TR

HUSBAND TOOK CAR IN TO HAVE MOTOR MOUNTS FIXED. HAVE BEEN BAD SINCE WE BOUGHT THE CAR, ON 1/28/12. ALONG WITH A LOT OF OTHER ISSUES WE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND. AC STOPPED WORKING. STALLED WHILE DRIVING 55 MPH., ALWAYS SHOOK AFTER A CERTAIN SPEED, ELECTRICAL, CAR JERKED FORWARD AT A STOP, TIRE PRESSURE ALWAYS READ 2-3 TIRES LOW EVEN AFTER HAVING NEW TIRES PUT ON AND ALIGNED. DEFOG NEVER WORKED. WEIRD SOUND IN FRONT OF SUSPENSION, POWER TRAIN MODULE, ETC., ETC. BUT THE WORST OF ALL IS WHEN WE TRIED TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS FIXED BACK IN DECEMBER . CAR GUY FIXED MOTOR MOUNTS, HUSBAND DROVE CAR HOME, LATER THAT NIGHT WENT WITH KIDS FOR ICE CREAM, CAME OUT AND CAR WOULD NOT START. HAD IT TOWED BACK, WORKED ON IT FOREVER COULD NOT FIGURE OUT, THEN HAD IT TOWED AGAIN 2 WEEKS LATER, TO ANOTHER SHOP, WHERE THEY SAID...

ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED OUT AND HAD TO BE REPLACED. CHRYSLER HAS ISSUED A RECALL ON THIS, HOWEVER IT AFFECTS A VERY NARROW WINDOW OF MANUFACTURE DATES. MY VEHICLE FELL A FEW WEEKS OUT OF THIS DATE. THE DEALERSHIP, WALSER CHRYSLER IN HOPKINS, MN SAID THEY WERE UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND DECLINED TO HELP. I HAD IT REPAIRED AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. I HAVE PHOTOS AND VIDEO THAT SHOW IT WAS NEARLY AT A COMPLETE FAILURE. *TR

JUST FOUND OUT THAT MY ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED IN HALF. FROM ALL THE ISSUES I BEEN READING ONLINE I CAN NOT BELIEVE THERE ISN'T A RECALL ON THIS. *JS

THIS VEHICLE ENGINE CRADLE ASSEMBLY IS RUSTY WITH IN 8 YEARS OF OPERATION.

MANY PACIFICA OWNERS ON LINE COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS ISSUE. *TR

MY PACIFICA HAS A RUSTED OUT SUB FRAME ON FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF CAR. FROM MY UNDERSTANDING THERE WAS A RECALL DONE FOR THOSE BUT ONLY INCLUDED 6 WEEKS WORTH OF VEHICLES MADE BUT THE PROBLEM IS MUCH BROADER THAN THE 6 WEEKS WORTH OF CARS. I HAVE BEEN TOLD BY THREE DIFFERENT REPUTABLE MECHANICS THAT MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS SO RUSTED THROUGH YOU CAN PUT YOUR HAND THROUGH IT. I HAVE 3 SMALL CHILDREN AND THIS IS OUR FAMILY CAR. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS BEFORE THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT DIE BECAUSE THEIR ENGINE FALLS OUT WHILE THEY ARE DRIVING! I DO HAVE PICTURES THAT WERE TAKEN YESTERDAY. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS!

WAS TOLD BY MY MECHANIC THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND MY CAR COULD BE UNSAFE. AFTER CHECKING ON THIS SITE I FOUND THAT CHRYSLER EXTENDED THE WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM. I CALL A LOCALE DEALERSHIP AND SERVICE DEPT TOLD ME MY SPECIFIC VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND AFTER SEVERAL MINUTES OF CHECKING WAS TOLD THAT THE EXTENDED WARRANTY ONLY COVERED VEHICLES MADE FROM FEB. THRU MARCH OF 2004 AND MINE WAS MADE IN JUNE OF 2003. TOO BAD SINCE I AM JUST LIMPING THIS ALONG FOR ANOTHER MONTH TILL I'LL BE BUYING ANOTHER VEHICLE. IT DOES SEEM TO ME THAT THIS PROBLEM IS MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE THAN CHRYSLER IS WILLING TO ADMIT, AS I HAVE SEEN MANY OTHER COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME THING. *TR

THIS CAR HAS A SERIOUS RUST ISSUE ON THE UNDERCARRIAGE. IT STARTS ON THE SUBFRAME THEN WORKS ITS WAY TO THE FRAME OF THE CAR. THERE FRONT SUSPENSION HAS BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES IN THE MONTH ALONE. DUE TO THIS ISSUE I HAVE IN REGARDS TO THIS, I CAN'T JACK MY CAR UP WITH THE JACK THAT COMES WITH THE CARE, IF I DO IT WILL GO RIGHT THRU THAT IS WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO ME.. I CAN NOT GET A REAR ALIGNMENT ON MY CAR BECAUSE OF THE RUST AND MY TIRED HAVE WORN OR DAY. IF ANYONE KNOWS ANYTHING COULD THEY PLEASE HELP I AM FEED UP WITH THIS CARE.. *TR

I WENT TO HAVE ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD BY THE TECH, THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE AND FRAME WERE SEVERELY CORRODED FROM RUST. HIS RECOMMENDATION WAS TO HAVE IT TAKEN CARE IMMEDIATELY, IT COULD POSSIBLY BE UNSAFE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE HAVING UNRELATED REPAIRS PERFORMED, THE TECHNICIAN NOTIFIED THE CONTACT THAT THERE WAS CORROSION PRESENT ON THE ENGINE CRADLE. THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED THE CONTACT THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER HAD NOT BEEN NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 79,000.

THE UNDERSIDE ENGINE CRADLE SUBFRAME OF MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IS ROTTED AND IN DANGER OF BREAKING APART. I CAN HEAR NOISE WHEN STEERING AND THE CAR HAS A VIBRATION. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH, THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE VIBRATED INTERMITTENTLY.

I AM WRITING BECAUSE I WAS TOLD THAT MY ENGINE CRADLE IN MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA IS BEGINNING TO RUST THROUGH AND I HAVE TWO VISIBLE HOLES, AT THIS TIME. I WAS TOLD BY THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP THAT ONLY A SMALL NUMBER OF THESE CARS HAVE BEEN GIVEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY. I CANNOT AFFORD TO HAVE MY CAR REPAIRED FOR $2400. I HAVE A CHRONIC MEDICAL CONDITION, FOR WHICH I HAVE TO DRIVE TO RECEIVE TREATMENTS THREE TIMES A WEEK, PLUS I WORK AND I HAVE TO HAVE RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION. I DON'T THINK CHRYSLER IS TAKING THIS DEFECT SERIOUSLY. I THINK CHRYSLER SHOULD DO THE RESPONSIBLE THING AND FIX EVERY PACIFICA. ARE THEY WAITING FOR SOMEONE'S ENGINE TO ACTUALLY FALL OUT OF THE CAR AND CAUSE A FATALITY? IF SO, THEY WILL BE IN WASHINGTON JUST AS THE GM EXECUTIVES ARE TRYING TO DEFEND THEIR DECISION TO IGNORE A PROBLEM THAT...

TOOK MY CAR TO HAVE A PLASTIC FRONT PANEL PUT BACK ON. THE REPAIRMAN SENT ME PICTURES OF THE ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED OUT. TOLD ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT WAS FIXED. CONTACTED LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER AND GAVE ME INFORMATION TO CONTACT CUSTOMER SERVICE. CALLED CUSTOMER SERVICE AND MY VEHICLE WAS OUTSIDE THE COVERAGE DESCRIBED ON BULLETIN 13-001-12 ISSUED ON MAR 16, 2012 BY CHRYSLER. THEY WERE NOT ABLE TO PROVIDE ANY RELIEF ON THE REPAIRS WHICH WILL BE BETWEEN $3500 AND $4000 DEPENDING ON PARTS COST. MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT SEPTEMBER 18, 2003, AND PUT IN SERVICE ON DECEMBER 22, 2003. THE SERVICE BULLETIN ONLY COVERED VEHICLES FROM FEB 23, 2004 TO MAR 31, 2004. I AM SURE MY VEHICLE IS IN THE SAME CATEGORY AS THE COVERED VEHICLES, SAME RUST PROBLEM, SAME AREAS OF THE CAR, ETC. *TR

SIGNIFICANT RUST AND CORRISION RESULTING IN DAMAGE TO STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY AND ABILITY TO EXIT VECHICLE IN CASE OF COLLISION OR STRUCTURAL FAILURE. *TR

ENGINE CRADLE CORROSION. *TR

ENGINE CRADLE/MOUNT AND FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. STUCK WITH A PILE OF STEEL THAT HAS NO TRADE IN VALUE OR RESALE VALUE. APPARENTLY, THIS EFFECTS ALMOST EVERY 2004 PACIFICA. NHTSA OUGHT TO BE LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE MORE CLOSELY. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE HUNDRED'S WHO'VE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE ARE FEELING THAT THE AGENCY DOES NOT CARE TO INVESTIGATE. SHAME ON CHRYSLER; SHAME ON NHTSA.

RUSTED ENGINE CRADLE / SUBFRAME. MANY NEAR MISSED ACCIDENTS. IT'S SO BAD I HAD TO STOP USING THE CAR. FORCED TO BUY ANOTHER VEHICLE BECAUSE CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE SAID THEY WON'T REPAIR IT. ONGOING FOR 2 YEARS NOW. *TR

WHILE IN FOR INSPECTION IN JUNE '14, WE WERE ADVISED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE ASSEMBLY HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND WAS UNSAFE - THEY WOULD NOT PASS IT THROUGH INSPECTION. OTHERWISE, THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY THROUGHOUT OUR OWNERSHIP. OUR RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE INITIAL FACTORY PAINT APPLICATION - IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWED FOR PREMATURE CORROSION OF THE CRADLE ASSEMBLY. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THIS POSTED ON THE INTERNET (SOME OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER - BUT NOT ALL). THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE ACCIDENTS START HAPPENING (ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN INVOLVED GIVEN THIS VEHICLE IS A MINIVAN). *JS

I BOUGHT THE CAR FEB 6TH 2014 FROM A BUY HERE PAY HERE. AFTER I BOUGHT THE CAR I NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLES GAS LIGHT WOULD MOVE ON ITS OWN FROM HALF A TANK TO EMPTY WHILE DRIVING ALSO MY LIGHTS WOULD FLICKER AND ENGINE WOULD MAKE A HUMMING NOISE ALSO AFTER GETTING ON AND OFF THE FREEWAY, HITTIING THE GAS PEDAL CAR DID NOT WANT TO ACCELERATE AND WOULD SPUTTER. ON JUNE 13 2014 MY VEHICLE WAS PUTTING WHILE GOING 35MPH AND JUST SHUT OFF ON ME WHILE DRIVING WITH MY SON IN THE CAR. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE STOPPED, THE VEHICLE SUDDENDLY ACCELERATED INDEPENDENTLY TO 65 MPH. THE VEHICLE FAILED TO STOP ALTHOUGH THE BRAKES WERE ENGAGED. THE CONTACT MENTIONED THAT IN ORDER TO STOP THE VEHICLE, THE TRANSMISSION HAD TO BE SHIFTED INTO PARK. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC. THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THE ENGINE MOUNT WAS DISCONNECTED. THE VEHICLE HAD NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

THE ENGINE CRADLE HAS RUSTED OUT AND THE ENGINE IS READY TO FALL OUT OF THE CAR. CANNOT PASS SAFETY INSPECTION. NO ASSISTANCE FROM CHRYSLER ON THIS AFTER MANY CALLS. IT SEEMS TO BE A VERY, VERY POPULAR ISSUE. THEY SAID THEY WILL ONLY FIX SOMETHING THAT HAS A RECALL. SO BASICALLY THEY WILL NOT STAND BEHIND THEIR PRODUCTS UNLESS THEY ARE FORCED TO. WHAT A SHAME! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE WAS INFORMED DURING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE THAT THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE WAS CRACKED. THE CONTACT REFERENCED SERVICE BULLETIN NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10045080, HOWEVER WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER THE DEALER ADVISED THAT IT ONLY APPLIED TO VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM FEBRUARY TO MARCH 2004. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,137.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT AFTER PARKING THE VEHICLE, FLAMES WERE COMING FROM UNDER THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE. APPROXIMATELY TWO MINUTES LATER THE FRONT END OF THE VEHICLE EXPLODED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS NOTIFIED AND EXTINGUISHED THE FLAMES. THERE WERE NO INJURIES. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE DEFECT. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 89,000.

I WENT TO GET AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE FRAME THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE WAS RUSTED OUT AND HE TOOK PICTURES AND SHOWED ME. HE SAID THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT AT NY GIVEN TIME. I TOOK PICTURES AND IT LOOKS LIKE AN OLD CAR FROM THE UNDER CARRIAGE. THE RUST IS HORRIBLE AND I WAS NOT AWARE UNTIL NOW. I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT. AND I WILL HAVE IT TOWED TO A COLLISION SHOP TO SEE HOW MUCH IT WILL COST TO FIX IT. *TR

ENGINE STALLS WHEN TURNING HARD LEFT TURN. THIS NEWLY INSTALLED ENGINE IN MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WAS PREVIOUS 2 WEEKS, WHEN INCIDENT HAPPENED. THE OLD ENGINE WENT OUT, 9 DAYS AFTER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, WITH ABOUT 160,000 MILES ON IT. *TR

I HAVE SUSPICION THAT MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BELOW EXPECTED STANDARDS. I MONITOR MY VEHICLES FOR COMPLAINTS AND RECALLS TO INSURE THAT IF I HAVE TO HAVE WORK DONE ON MY CARS IT IS FOR EXPECTED WEAR AND TEAR OF ANY VEHICLE. IT IS THROUGH THIS MONITORING THAT I HAVE NOTICED THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY PERSON TO EXPERIENCE WHAT SOUNDS LIKE SUBSTANDARD MOTOR MOUNTS. THIS HAS BEEN MY 1ST VEHICLE OF ANY KIND TO REQUIRE REPLACEMENT MOTOR MOUNTS.MY 2005 PACIFICA WITH 200K MILES HAS HAD TO HAVE BOTH MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED. IT SEEMS THAT BEFORE THEY WERE REPLACE THEY WERE NO LONGER FUNCTIONING AND THE MOTOR WAS BEING HELD IN PLACE BY 3 OTHER MINOR MOUNTS. APPARENTLY, THE BACKORDER IS SO BAD THAT IT COULD NOT BE GUARANTEED WITHIN 2 MONTHS. I HAD TO ORDER THEM THROUGH A 3RD PARTY IN ORDER TO REPLACE BEFORE...

THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 127,000. RK

I AM ALMOST VERBATIM SUBMITTING AN IDENTICAL COMPLAINT THAT YOU RECEIVED A DAY AFTER I WAS SHOWN THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM, AFTER TAKING MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT I WAS TOLD TOO ON MARCH 28, 2014. I WAS TOLD I HAVE A SUBFRAME/ENGINE CRADLE THAT IS SEVERELY CRACKED AND CORRODED ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE AND SHOWING WEAR ON THE DRIVER SIDE. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE. I HAVE SUBMITTED AN EMAIL TO CHRYSLER AND AM WAITING THEIR RESPONSE BUT UNDERSTAND THAT CUSTOMERS ARE MOST OFTEN TOLD THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO ASSIST WITH THE NEARLY $3000 COST OF REPLACEMENT, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MADE IN THE NARROW WINDOW OF PRODUCTION THAT THEY CLAIM WAS AFFECTED AND SUBJECT TO RECALL. AND MAY I ECHO THE ENTIRE LAST COMPLAINT THAT WAS...

ON MARCH 29, 2014, MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, PURCHASED IN AUGUST 2003, WAS INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED, BY THE DEALERSHIP WHERE IT WAS PURCHASED, TO HAVE A SUBFRAME/ENGINE CRADLE THAT IS "ROTTING" OR IN OTHER WORDS, SEVERELY CRACKED AND CORRODED. I WAS NOT INFORMED OF THIS SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE WITH MY VEHICLE BY CHRYSLER. I WAS INFORMED BY A RECENT INVESTIGATIVE STORY ON THE LOCAL CHICAGO NBC STATION, FOLLOWED BY INTERNET RESEARCH OF THE ISSUE. I CALLED THE CUSTOMER SERVICE NUMBER GIVEN TO ME FOR CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO ASSIST WITH THE $2600 COST OF REPLACEMENT, BECAUSE THE VEHICLE WAS NOT MADE IN THE NARROW WINDOW OF PRODUCTION THAT THEY CLAIM WAS AFFECTED AND SUBJECT TO RECALL. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THE WARRANTY THEY OFFERED, RELATED TO THE RECALL, WAS EXPIRED FOR MY VEHICLE ANYWAY. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION OF THE PROBLEM OR...

DISCOVERED ENGINE SUPPORT HAS A RUST THROUGH HOLE APPROX. 1 3/4 X 3/4. ALSO SHOWING OTHER AREAS OF RUST DAMAGE. THIS AUTO IS LOW MILEAGE & GARAGE KEPT. HAVE PHOTOS WITH TAPE MEASURE IF DESIRED. *TR

I HAVE HAD THIS CAR FOR SIX YEARS BOUGHT IT USED. I HAVE HAD THE FRONT MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED FOUR DIFFERENT TIMES. IF I TURN SHARP THEY BREAK. THE FIRST TWO TIMES THE WARRANTY COVERED THEM. I THINK THIS IS A RECALL ISSUE AND CHRYSLER SHOULD BE LIABLE FOR REPAIR CHARGES. I JUST PRAY NO ONE GETS KILLED BEFORE THEY INVESTIGATE THE SERIOUSNESS OF THIS JUST LIKE TOYOTA. *TR

DURING AN INSPECTION MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THRU. THE CRADLE IS SO RUSTED THAT HE IS AFRAID THAT THE ENGINE WILL FALL OUT OF THE CAR. I HAVE ALWAYS BEEN A CHRYSLER GUY BUT THIS IS BAD! *TR

ON THURSDAY, JANUARY 30TH, MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS TAKEN TO JACK WILLIAMS TIRE AND AUTO SERVICE CENTER IN CAMP HILL, PA BECAUSE OF A DRIVABILITY VIBRATION AND/OR SHAKE. THE MECHANIC CALLED AND SAID, YOU WERE LUCKY TO GET THE VEHICLE HERE IN ONE PIECE; THE ENGINE CRADLE IS SO BADLY CORRODED THAT YOU ARE LUCKY THAT THE ENGINE DID NOT DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. HE WOULD NOT RELEASE THE VEHICLE UNTIL THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS REPLACED BECAUSE OF THIS SEVERE SAFETY ISSUE. ON SATURDAY, FEBRUARY 1, 2014, I DID SOME RESEARCH ONLY TO FIND THAT THIS IS NOT NEWS TO THE CHRYSLER GROUP LLC . . . . IN A LETTER DATED NOVEMBER 9, 2010, CHRYSLER GROUP LLC STATES THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH SOME VEHICLES, ESPECIALLY THOSE DRIVEN IN AREAS OF HIGH SALT USAGE ON ROADWAYS. THE LETTER INFORMS OWNERS THAT THE WARRANTY PERIOD FOR THE FRONT...

I HAVE A MAJOR CORROSION PROBLEM ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE ENGINE CRADLE. I COMPLAINED OF A NOISE COMING FROM THAT SIDE AND ASKED MY MECHANIC TO TAKE A LOOK AS HE WAS FIXING A TIRE. WHAT HE FOUND WAS STARTLING TO SAY THE LEAST. I'M IN FEAR OF MY LIFE AND POSSIBLY OTHERS, IF THIS ENGINE WERE TO BREAK THROUGH THE REST OF THE CORROSION. HE WARNED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT AND TO GET ANOTHER CAR. I CALLED CHRYSLER TODAY FEBRUARY 24TH TO FIND OUT WHAT MY OPTIONS WERE AND WAS TOLD I'M OUT OF WARRANTY AND TO GO TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER FOR ASSISTANCE.TOMORROW I WILL GO THERE AND FIND OUT WHAT COULD BE DONE. THE FEELING I'M GETTING IS THE COST WILL BE IN THE THOUSANDS. MONEY I DON'T HAVE. I SEARCH THE WEB FOR INFORMATION AND FOUND THAT MANY OTHERS HAVE THE SAME...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS CORRODED AND THE ENGINE HAD BECOME PARTIALLY DETACHED FROM THE ENGINE CRADLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC, WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS SEVERE CORRODED AND WOULD NEED REPLACING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. UPDATED 3/14/14*CN

WE HAD OUR 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA LOOKED OVER BY A MECHANIC AROUND MARCH OF 2012 BECAUSE OUR TEENAGE DAUGHTER GOT HER DRIVERS PERMIT. WE WANTED TO MAKE SURE THAT THE CAR WAS SAFE FOR HER TO DRIVE. HE LOOKED OVER THE CAR AND TOLD US THAT WE SHOULD START THINKING ABOUT REPLACING THE ENGINE CRADLE. HE SAID THAT ENGINE CRADLES IN THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA WERE KNOWN FOR CORROSION. WE CONTINUED TO DUE OUR NORMAL MAINTENANCE ON THE CAR AND AS OF TODAY WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE THE CAR UNTIL WE GET THE ENGINE CRADLE FIXED. THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND IT ONLY HAS 107,000 MILES. THIS IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO FIX. I DID RESEARCH ONLINE AND DISCOVERED THAT CHRYSLER GROUP LLC PACIFICA'S FRONT ENGINE CRADLES WARRANTY HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO 10 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES, WHICHEVER OCCURS FIRST IN 2004 - 2005 MODEL YEARS.
