2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Engine Problems

MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA"S ENGINE CRADLE HAS EXTENSIVELY CORRODED WITH RUST AND HAS BECOME A DANGER TO DRIVE .THIS WAS A NATIONAL PROBLEM REPORTED ON CHICAGO TELEVISION NBC CHANNEL 5. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THAT THEY ARE INVESTIGATING..I WOULD APPRECIATE IF SOMEONE FROM YOUR ORGANIZATION CAN LOOK AT THIS CRADLE AND THE DANGER MY FAMILY HAS BEEN PUT IN. CHRYSLER ALSO CLAIMS THAT MY CAR WAS BUILT PRIOR TO THE PROBLEM METAL ON 2004/2005 . NEED FOR SOMEONE TO INSPECT THANK YOU *TR

I TOOK MY CAR TO A MECHANIC FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND I WAS SHOCKED BY WHAT I'VE SEEN. THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED OUT AND IT ALSO HAS CRACKS ON IT. IT IS A REAL LIFE-THREATENING SITUATION WHERE THE STRUCTURE CAN FALL OUT AT ANY MOMENT. I COULD IMAGINE MYSELF DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY AND BE INVOLVED IN A CAR ACCIDENT BECAUSE THIS CAR MANUFACTURER BUILDS CARS LIKE THIS. I'M SHOCKED. I HAVE A SON THAT WE DRIVE IN THIS CAR AND NOW I PREFER TO HAVE IT PARKED THAN PUT MY SON'S LIFE IN DANGER. I'VE NEVER SEEN SUCH CORROSION AND IT IS DEFINITELY A PROBLEM CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADDRESS TO ALL CARS. IT SEEMS A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME ISSUE EVEN IN FLORIDA SO DON'T TELL ME THAT IT'S A NORMAL SITUATION DUE TO SALT ON THE ROAD. *TR

ENGINE CRADLE IS ROTTED. *TR

CHRYSLER SERVICE BULLETIN: 13-001-10 SERVICE BULLETIN NO.: WB-D-10-34 NHTSA ID NUMBER: 10045080 MOTOR CRADLE HAS RUSTED OUT STRUCTURALLY UNSAFE, WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION MAY CAUSE A SEVERE DANGEROUS ACCIDENT. CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS THAT WERE PRODUCED FEBRUARY 2004 - MARCH 2004. MY CAR WAS MANUFACTURED IN MAY 2004. I HAVE THE SAME SYMPTOMS THE CARS PRODUCED ONLY 30 DAYS PRIOR! MY REPAIR NEEDS TO BE COVERED. *TR

BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE USED, 11 MONTHS AGO AND HAVE HAD IT SERVICED REGULARLY. RECENTLY IT STARTED HESITATING AND SHUTTING OFF AT RANDOM, USUALLY AT LOWER SPEEDS, BUT RECENTLY AT HIGHER SPEEDS TOO, MECHANIC COULD FIND NOTHING. HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO LOCAL GARAGE AFTER EXTREME COLD SNAP BECAUSE IT WOULDN'T START. IT HAD BEEN FLOODED. HAD OIL CHANGED AND PLUGS CHANGED, AND MECHANIC FOUND THE ENGINE CRADLE CORROSION, AS MANY OTHER HAVE REPORTED. JUST A MATTER OF TIME BEFORE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND THE HESITATING CONTINUES. I HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER 3 TIMES ON THIS, AND THEY CONTINUE TO TELL ME THAT MY CAR IS WAY OVER THE MILEAGE AND NOT WITHIN THE EXTENDED WARRANTY TIME FRAME. IT IS OBVIOUSLY A DESIGN FLAW, AND THE PARTS MADE WITH INFERIOR MATERIALS. PLEASE ISSUE A RECALL TO INCLUDE ALL PACIFICAS AND MAKE CHRYSLER TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS. *TR

ON JANUARY 28, 2013 I HAD MY VEHICLE CHECKED FOR WARRANTY REPAIRS. AT THAT TIME I WAS ADVISED THAT THE FRONT AND REAR ENGINE MOUNTS WERE BAD ALONG WITH STRUTS. ALSO AT THAT TIME I WAS CALLED BACK TO THE SERVICE AREA BY MECHANIC. HE PROCEEDED TO SHOW ME THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTING OUT AND SHOWED ME VARIOUS PLACES WHERE IT HAD IN FACT RUSTED THROUGH. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY CONCERN. I WAS GIVEN A QUOTE OF $1612.05 TO REPAIR THIS. DUE TO LIMITED FINANCES I HAVE ONLY BEEN ABLE TO HAVE THE WARRANTY WORK REPAIRED. AT THE TIME I BELIEVED THIS TO BE AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I HAVE RESEARCHED SEVERAL OTHER PROBLEMS WITH THIS VEHICLE AND HAVE REALIZED THAT THIS IS NOT AN ISOLATED INCIDENT. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS PROBLEM AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE WARRANTY ONLY...

CAR WILL START OK MOST OF THE TIME. SEEMS LIKE WHEN I DRIVE ACROSS TOWN AND SHUT IT OFF THOUGH, IT WILL NOT START BACK UP. ONLY CLICKS AT THE RELAY. I'VE HAD THIS CAR TOWED 3 TIMES FOR LEAVING ME STRANDED. I HAVE FOUND SOMETIMES IF I WAIT 30 MINUTES AND TRY AGAIN IT WILL SOMETIMES START. THIS CAR HAS BEEN A NIGHTMARE. I DO NOT RECOMMEND A PACIFICA TO ANYONE, AND I WILL NEVER DRIVE ANOTHER CHRYSLER OR AGAIN. *TR

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED OUT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. *TR

MY GARAGE TOLD ME THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE OR SUB FRAME HAS A SUBSTANTIAL HOLE FROM RUSTING OUT. *TR

I HAVE ALMOST BEEN IN FOUR ACCIDENTS IN THE PAST WEEK AND A HALF DUE TO MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLING IN THE MIDDLE OF INTERSECTIONS AND ROADS WITHOUT WARNING. AS I ACCELERATE THE CAR STARTS TO HESITATE, SPUTTER AND THEN JUST DIES OUT. THE LAST TIME IT DID THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUSY ROAD WITH CARS GOING BY AT 50MPH, I HAD TWO GOOD SAMARITANS AND TWO POLICE OFFICERS THAT WERE NEARBY HELP ME TO SAFETY WHERE I HAD TO HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED BACK TO MY HOME WHERE IT SITS TODAY. THE FIRST TIME IT HAPPENED THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, IT SAID BAD CRANKSHAFT SENSOR, SO I REPLACED IT. THE SECOND TIME IT HAPPENED IT SAID BAD CAMSHAFT, SO I REPLACED IT. THE THIRD TIME IT HAPPENED IT SAID BAD CAMSHAFT SENSOR AGAIN, SO I REPLACED THINKING I BOUGHT A DEFECTIVE ONE. THIS DID...

MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFIA HAS HAD MANY ISSUES BUT THE ONE THAT I AM MOST CONCERNED ABOUT IS THE RUSTED, CORROSION OF THE ENGINE CRADLE, SUB FRAME. IT IS SO RUSTED THAT I WAS TOLD MY ENGINE MAY FALL OUT. WENT TO SEVERAL JUNK YARDS TO FIND PART AND ALL THE ONES I LOOKED AT HAVE THE SAME THING WRONG WITH THEM. THEY ARE RUSTED OUT AND CANT BE USED. SOMETHING WRONG HERE. PLEASE RECALL THESE. *JS

AFTER REPLACING A BOTH MOTOR MOUNTS IN JULY OF 2012. THEY BROKE AGAIN IN NOVEMBER 2012!! THIS TIME IT WAS SO BAD THAT WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER THE ENGINE DIED AND WOULD NOT START BACK UP. EVENTUALLY AFTER TRYING TO TURN IT OVER SO MANY TIME THE BATTERY DIED. WE HAD TO HAVE IT TOWED TO THE SHOP AFTER THE HOLIDAYS TO FIND OUT HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO FIX ($1200) AND EXACTLY WHAT THE ISSUE WAS. THE TECH INFORMED ME THAT BESIDES THE MOUNTS BEING BROKE, WHEN I TURNED THE CORNER THE ENGINE LIFTED AND CUT THRU ALL OF THE WIRES LEADING TO THE FAILURE OF THE CAR'S POWER CONTROL MODULE. THIS RESULTED IN A LOSS OF SPEEDOMETER, OTHER ELECTRICAL FUNCTIONS, AND THE LOSS OF THREE IGNITION COILS. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHY THEY KEEP MAKING "RUBBER" ENGINE MOUNTS IF THE[XXX] THINGS ARE USELESS IN THE...

CHRYSLER IS VERY WELL AWARE THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE IN THE 2004-2005 PACIFICA'S ARE BAD AND ARE UNWILLING TO FIX MINE.

DRIVING AROUND 40 THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE. I THOUGHT MAYBE A WHEEL BEARING OR TIE ROD WAS THE ISSUE. UPON TAKING IT TO THE SHOP TO GET CHECKED I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED TO THE POINT OF ALMOST FAILING. I AM CURRENTLY HAVING THE CRADLE REPLACED. HAD THAT OCCURRED AT A HIGHER SPEED I HAT TO THINK WHAT MAY HAVE HAPPENED. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD THERE IS A REPLACEMENT PROGRAM FOR VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN FEB 23RD AND MAR31ST 2004. BECAUSE MY VEHICLE WAS BUILT JANUARY 23RD 2004 IT WAS NOT COVERED AND I RECEIVED NO LETTER. DESPITE THE FACT I WAS DRIVING A VEHICLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM IN A VERY DANGEROUS STATE.

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP (AT A RED LIGHT TO GREEN) AND "GO" BEFORE I REACH 10MPH..

CAUSE I CAN'T GO OVER 25 MPH. SO I HAVE TO PULL OVER AND TURN THE ENGINE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON. ANOTHER ISSUE IS THE FRONT BUMPER HAS A SILVER PLATE AT THE CORNERS OF THE FRONT CAR. I HAVE REPLACED IT 3 TIMES CAUSE IT FALLS OFF....SO ANNOYING!!!!!!!! WORSE THAN A WHEEL RIM PLATE FALLING OFF. *TR

ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS I WILL BE DRIVING MY CAR AND IT WILL JUST STALL OUT COMPLETELY. I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER MY CAR. THERE IS NO INCLINATION THAT IT IS EVEN GOING TO HAPPEN. I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR. AT HIGHER SPEEDS MY CAR JERKS AND STUTTERS AND WILL RANDOMLY SHUT OFF TOO. I WILL BE STOPPING TO MAKE A RIGHT OR LEFT TURN AND MY CAR WILL STALL OUT AND I HAVE ALMOST WRECKED MY CAR WITH MY FOUR CHILDREN IN THE CAR!!!!!!! I SEE THERE IS A RECALL ON SOME CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S FOR THIS EXACT PROBLEM, BUT FOR SOME REASON IT IS NOT ON MINE AND IT IS A MAJOR ISSUE!!! I AM VERY CONCERNED WITH MY FAMILY'S SAFETY WHEN DRIVING MY CAR.

IN GOING TO MECHANIC TO GET OIL CHANGE. I WAS NOTIFIED THAT SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED OUT AND CAR IS VERY DANGEROUS TO BE DRIVEN. I HAVE YET TO CONTACT DEALERSHIP BUT ON DOING A SEARCH ON LINE I FOUND THIS TO BE A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THIS CAR. I LIVE IN THE SUBURBS OF CHICAGO. *TR
