TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT ON SEVERAL OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING AT UNDISCLOSED SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED INDEPENDENTLY AND STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC ON FOUR OCCASIONS HOWEVER, THE MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE OR RETRIEVE A FAULT CODE. ADDITIONALLY, WHILE DRIVING AT 40 MPH, THE VEHICLE DECELERATED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO BROOKFIELD CHRYSLER DODGE JEEP RAM (1845 PIPESTONE RD, BENTON HARBOR, MI 49022), TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE OXYGEN SENSOR FAILED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE OXYGEN SENSOR WAS REPLACED SEVEN TIMES HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 149,000.

MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE SNAPPED AND BEEN REPLACED 3 TIMES SINCE PURCHASE! BODY IS TOO HEAVY FOR THE FRAME. NOW LOUD THUDS AT BRAKING AND ACCELERATING. ALWAYS HAVE HAD A FUELING ISSUE. HAD FUEL PUMPS, SENDING UNITS, LINES, FUEL FILLER NOZZLE, EVERYTHING BUT THE TANK REPLACED. FUEL GAUGE DROPS TO EMPTY EVEN WITH FUEL, WHEN TRYING TO FUEL IT WILL NOT ALLOW IT PUMP WILL SHUT OFF. USUALLY STARTS TO DO THIS WHEN GAS MILEAGE IS UNDER 200 REMAINING. SO FRUSTRATING. YET CHRYSLER DENIES EVER HAVING HEARD OF THESE ISSUES! I SEE FORUMS WITH MY SAME COMPLAINT, YET IT'S A MYSTERY FOR CHRYSLER! THIS HAS ALL BEEN A CONTINUOUS PROBLEM SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR IN 2011.

K-FRAME IS ROTTED OUT NOT SAFE TO DRIVE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT

WHEN FUELING GAS PUMP AUTOMATICALLY SHUTS OFF NOT LETTING GASOLINE INTO FUEL PUMP. WHEN HALF A TANK OF GASOLINE IS LEFT IN CAR IT AUTOMATICALLY GOES DOWN TO EMPTY ON FUEL GAUGE. EGR VALVE PROBLEM, RPM TOO HIGH WHEN IDLED, FEEL LIKE CAR SLOWS DOWN ON OWN WHEN DRIVING ON HIGHWAY. ENGINE LIGHT ON WITH P0507 CODE: IDLE AIR CONTROL SYSTEM RPM HIGHER THAN EXPECTED AND P1861 FUEL LINE DISCONNECTED

BOUGHT MY 2004 PACIFICA FROM A DEALERSHIP USED ON JUNE 5 2017 AT THAT TIME I HAD THE OIL CHANGED AT THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY. NOTHING SAID ABOUT THE CRADLE ALMOST RUSTED OFF ON RIGHT SIDE. TOOK PACIFICA TO GET TIRES CAUSE I PLANNED A 1500 MILE TRIP IN A FEW DAYS AND WANTED GOOD TIRES. NEEDLESS TO SAY BESIDES $400 IN TIRES I HAD TO PUT $1800 INTO PARTS AND LABOR FOR STRUTS, TIE RODS, ARMS, BRAKE PADS, ROTORS AND VALVE STEMS. WAS SHOWN THE RUSTED CRADLE THAT WAS 3/4 RUSTED THROUGH AND TOLD IT SHOULD GET CHANGED BUT THE VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO TAKE ON MY TRIP. WHILE DRIVING WHEN GOING 25-35MPH WITH MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL IT CHUGS LIKE ITS NOT GETTING GAS AND HAVE ALSO NOTICED IT NOW WHEN GOING 55 AND TAKING MY FOOT OFF THE GAS PEDAL IT DOING THE SAME...

I HAD THE TRANSMISSION SOLENOID PACK REPLACED ON MAY 8TH 2015. ON JUN 21 2016 THE CAR BECAME ERRATIC AND I HAD TO PULL OVER ON A FREEWAY. AFTER BEING TOLD THE MECHANIC SAID THAT THIS SOLENOID PACK HAD A HOLE BLOWN THROUGH THE METAL IN ADDITION TO A SHORT IN THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM

WON'T LET ME PUMP GAS IN WITH OUT IT CONSTANTLY CLICKING OFF, WHEN GAS GAGE HITS HALF IT DROPS WITH IN SECONDS. TRACTION CONTROL LIGHT ENGINE LIGHT LOW AND HIGH TIRE PRESSURE STAYS ON BUT NOTHING SHOWS ON TESTER. FRONT END DOES A LOT OF POPPING, AND CLANKING WHILE DRIVING EVEN WHILE TURNING AND STOPPING.

THE COOLING SYSTEM FOR THE CAR DOES NOT WORK CORRECTLY. AFTER A STEADY IDLE OF ABOUT 5 MINUTES, THE CAR WILL BEGIN TO GET HOT AND THE FANS WILL KICK ON. TWO MINUTES LATER IT WILL DO IT AGAIN. THE SYSTEM IT SELF SEEMS OK, BUT THE FAN IS CONSTANTLY ON AND OFF. THE MOTOR GET S SO HOT THAT THE HOOD ON MY CAR IS STARTING TO TURN. NEXT IS THE AIRBAGS. THE AIRBAG LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE IS ALWAYS ON INDICATING A FAILURE. THE BAG HAS NEVER BEEN DEPLOYED? NOW THE BIGGEST PROBLEM IS THE TOP END OF THE MOTOR. MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHTS KEEPS COMING ON. KEEPS SAYING MISFIRE ON CYLINDER 4. EVERYTHING HAS BEEN REPLACED AND I STILL GET THIS CODE? MY VEHICLE GETS IT REGULAR MAINTENANCE AND MY MECHANIC SAID MY CAR SHOULD NOT HAVING THESE PROBLEMS.

FRAME IS RUSTING UNDER THE ENGINE AND SERVICE BAY AT TIRE DEALER SAID IT WAS UNSAFE.

WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION SAYS VAPOR LEAK, HAS REPLACED GAS CAP TWICE, NOT ABLE TO FIND LEAK. ALSO THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTS REALLY HARD , BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT

WAS DRIVING DOWN THE STREET AND HEARD A LOAD BANG WHEN DRIVERS SIDE OF CAR DROPPED DOWN ONTO FRONT TIRE. CAR ABRUPTLY SWERVED INTO LANE WITH APPROACHING TRAFFIC. VEHICLE STOPPED AGAINST THE CURB AND ONCOMING TRAFFIC STOPPED IN TIME. WE TOWED VEHICLE TO A FRIENDS BUSINESS FOR INSPECTING AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD ROTTED OUT FROM RUST. WE CALLED LOCAL DEALER AND WAS ASKED FOR OUR V.I.N # AND WAS TOLD OUR CAR WAS NOT PART OF RECALL BECAUSE IT WAS NOT BUILT WITHIN A FEW WEEKS WINDOW. IN SEARCHING MORE INFORMATION ONLINE WE FOUND THIS IS A HUGE ISSUE ON THESE CARS. PLEASE ADVISE

MY WIFE WAS PARKED. WHEN SHE PUT THE CAR INTO DRIVE THE LEVER DID NOT STAY IN DRIVE. IT BOUNCED INTO REVERSE AND WHEN SHE STARTED TO GO FORWARD THE FORCE OF THE REVERSE CAUSED HER TO PUSH HARDER ON THE ACCELERATOR HITTING THE VEHICLE BEHIND HER AND ONE ON THE DRIVERS SIDE. WE COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM AGAIN NOR COULD THE DEALER WHILE IT WAS IN FOR BODY REPAIR. MY WIFE LOST CONFIDENCE IN THIS VEHICLE AND WE ENDED UP TRADING IT IN FOR A MAJOR LOSS IN $. WE LIKED THE VEHICLE AND ENDED UP BYING ANOTHER ONE AND NOTICED THAT THE SHIFTIER HAD A TOTALLY DIFFERENT SET UP. WE QUESTIONED CHRYSLER AT THE TIME AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM. A COUPLE OF YEARS LATER WE MET SOMEONE WHO HAD THE SAME VEHICLE AS WE DID AT THE TIME, AND THEY HAD A SIMILAR...

MY STEERING WHEEL STARTED TO JERK TO THE RIGHT WHEN ACCELERATING AND IT WAS HARD TO KEEP THE CAR ON THE ROAD. IT FELT LIKE THE FRONT WHEELS WERE GOING TO FALL OFF. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE SHOP AND THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE SUB STRUCTURE CRADLE WAS RUSTED THROUGH AND HAD FAILED. THIS ALSO TOOK OUT THE TRANSMISSION MOUNT AND IDLER ARM. HAD I BEEN GOING ANY FASTER WHEN THIS FAILED IT MAY HAVE CAUSED THE CAR TO SWERVE INTO ON COMING TRAFFIC. *TR

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

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

CHRYSLER HAS A KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THE SUB-FRAME CRADLE SUPPORTING THE ENGINE. IN NORTHERN AREAS THESE FRAMES ARE RUSTING THROUGH CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING CONTROL. CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 10 YEARS /150K MILES, BUT ONLY APPLIED THIS TO A SMALL BAND OF VEHICLES PRODUCED BETWEEN FEB.23,2004 AND MARCH 31, 2004. MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED JAN.12, 2004 AND HAS THE SAME SAFETY PROBLEM. I HAVE SENT SEVERAL LETTERS TO CHRYSLER REQUESTING THEY TAKE CARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE RECEIVED NEGATIVE RESPONSES. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS SAFETY ISSUE BEFORE SOMEONE IS KILLED. IN MY LAST REQUEST TO CHRYSLER I ASKED THEM TO COMMIT TO ME THAT MY VEHICLE WAS SAFE TO DRIVE ( I SENT MULTIPLE PICTURES). CHRYSLER RESPONDED 5/12/14 THAT THEY WERE NOT GOING TO CONSIDER THIS PROBLEM WARRANTY, BUT THEY DID NOT RESPOND TO THE SAFETY QUESTION. I WOULD REALLY LIKE TO TALK...

THE ENGINE CRADLE CROSS MEMBER OF MY VEHICLE IS ROTTING TO THE POINT THAT I CAN NO LONGER HAVE THE CAR SAFETY INSPECTED IN PA. THERE IS A SERVICE NOTE FOR A SMALL WINDOW OF PACIFICAS INCLUDED ON A WARRANTY FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, BUT ONLY FOR THE CARS BUILT WITHIN A CERTAIN DATE. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, BUT WILL DO NOTHING TO CORRECT IT. THE CRADLE INCORPORATES THE ENGINE MOUNTS, LOWER CONTROL ARMS, AND STEERING. IF IT IS NOT REPLACED, AND BRAKES WHILE DRIVING, THERE WILL BE A COMPLETE LOSS OF CONTROL OF THE VEHICLE. I KNOW THAT MY VEHICLE IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH SUCH A SERIOUS ISSUE. *TR

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...

2004 PACIFICA HAS A CLICKING NOISE AND HAD IT CHECKED OUT AND IT IS THE CRADLE ASSEMBLY& REAR ENGINE MOUNT IS BAD. IT IS RUSTED AND CRACKED. ALSO HAS ALOT OF SUSPENSION ISSUES. ENGINE GETTING READY TO FALL OUT. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A MECHANIC FOR A DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE MECHANIC COULD NOT DETERMINE ANY DEFECT CODES FROM THE DIAGNOSTIC TEST. THE CONTACT REFERENCED NHTSA CAMPAIGN I.D. NUMBER: 04V113000 (POWER TRAIN) AND CALLED THE MANUFACTURER. THE MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE RECALL CAMPAIGN. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

WHEN I ACCELERATE FROM A STOP (AT A RED LIGHT TO GREEN) AND "GO" BEFORE I REACH 10MPH.. THE CAR SUDDENLY PAUSES AND SHAKES (AS THOUGH IT'S SHIFTING IN GEAR AND GETS STUCK IN A LOW GEAR) AND IS NOT SMOOTH BUT SHAKES THE WHOLE CAR. *TR ALSO, ON THE HIGHWAY....THE CAR WOULD SUDDENLY GO INTO LOW GEAR...AND (AGAIN, I DON'T HAVE STICK SHIFT) I PRESS THE ACCELERATOR AND I CAN HEAR THE ENGINE BURNING.... 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

THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS ON ALL CHRYSLER PACIFICA MODELS ARE PUTTING THE PUBLIC AT RISK...THE FAILURE RATE FOR THESE VEHICLE COMPONENTS IS ASTRONOMICAL AND REPETITIVE AFTER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS CAN CAUSE ADDITIONAL FAILURES THAT ALSO PUT THE PUBLIC AT RISK...THIS INCLUDES: --GROUND WIRE FATIGUE AND FAILURE CAUSING A MULTITUDE OF UNEXPECTED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN --DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WIRING HARNESS TO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, AGAIN CAUSING A MYRIAD OF UNEXPECTED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN --COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE...ENGINE MOVEMENT CAUSES UPPER RADIATOR HOSE TO DISCONNECT COMPROMISING THE COOLING SYSTEM AND CONTRIBUTING TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION WHEN THE ENGINE COOLANT IS RELEASED. I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED PREVIOUSLY AND IT IS APPALLING TO REALIZE THAT NO ACTION HAS BEEN EFFECTED BY THIS OVERSIGHT ARM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR POOR DESIGN AND QUALITY STANDARDS AND FIND...

AT ANY DRIVING SPEED MY PACIFIC STALLS AND CUTS OFF! CAN BE AT 5-50MPH WHEN IT HAS HAPPENED TO ME. A MONTH AFTER I BOUGHT IT, IT JUST CUT OFF AT AN INTERSECTION (DANGEROUS) THEN AT SLOW DOWN APPROACH TO AN INTERSECTION. EVEN HAPPENS RANDOM TIMES ON ACCELERATION FROM A STOP, IT WILL CUT OFF. HAVE HAD IT CHECKED NUMEROUS TIMES AND NOTHING WAS FOUND WRONG. HAD TUNE UPS WITH NORMAL MAINTENANCE PERFORMED AND STILL HAVE THIS PROBLEM. NOW MY WIFE WILL NOT DRIVE IT AT ALL! WISH SOMEONE COULD FORCE CHRYSLER TO ADDRESS THE PROBLEM AND FIX SINCE KNOWING OTHERS HAVE SAME ISSUES WITH THEIRS FROM READING FORUMS! PLEASE HELP! *TR

TOLD AT TIME OF SERVICE BY DEALER THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTING THRU THREATENING FAILURE. THIS IS A RECOGNIZED PROBLEM IN THE 2005 VEHICLES WHICH CHRYSLER HAS EXTENDED THE WARRANTY OUT TO 10/YR 150,000 MILES FOR, BUT THEY ARE REFUSING TO EXTEND THE WARRANTY ON THE 2004 MODEL.

WHILE DRIVING CAR IT KNOCKS AFTER PUSHING BRAKES THEN GAS AGAIN IT CONTINUES TO DO SO AFTER I HAVE HAD OVER 2000 IN REPAIRS DONE. IT HAS NEW SHOCKS NEW AXLES NEW MOTOR MOUNTS & TIRES I BELIEVE SEVERAL OTHER OWNERS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUES AND A RECALL SHOULD BE IN PLACE OR AN EXPLANATION OF WHY OUR CARS ARE DOING THIS! I BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND WAS TOLD THE OWNER SOLD IT BECAUSE THEY DID NOT WANT TO PUT THE MONEY INTO IT TO HAVE THE MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED SO I AM THINKING THAT SHE MIGHT HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE. IT ALSO SHAKES AFTER I GET PAST 50 MPH. IT HAS ALSO DIED AFTER TURNING A SHARP LEFT AND I ALMOST CRASHED WITH MY INFANT IN THE CAR. IT HAS LOCKED ME OUT OF THE CAR WITH MY DAUGHTER STILL IN THE CAR! ALSO THE REAR...

WHEN REVERSING OR SPEEDING UP IN DRIVE WITH THE STEERING WHEEL TURNED A POPPING NOISE IS HEARD FROM THE DRIVE AND PASSENGER SIDE AXLES WITH NO DAMAGE TO THE AXLES CHRYSLER IS SAYING IT IS THE GASKETS ON THE AXLES. REPAIR COST $253 FOR 2 GASKET AND REPAIR COSTS. *JS

I TOOK MY CARE INTO THE SEAR AUTO CENTER IN ANNAPOLIS, MD FOR A TUNE UP AND ALSO ASKED THEM TO CHECK FOR THE KNOCKING NOISE UNDER MY HOOD AS IS WAS AFFECTING MY STEERING AND MAKING THE CAR HARD TO STEER WHEN GOING AROUND CURVES. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FRONT END SUSPENSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED BADLY AS THE PARTS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED. I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I WOULD HAVE TO LEAVE THE CAR AT THE FACILITY OVERNIGHT AS THEY WERE HAVING PROBLEMS REMOVING THE OLD PARTS DUE TO HEAVY CORROSION ON THE OLD PARTS AND IT WOULD TAKE MORE TIME TO GET THE PARTS OFF AND REPLACE THEN WITH NEW PARTS. IN DECEMBER OF 2011, I PURCHSED NEW TIRES AND WAS ALSO TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO PURCHSE NEW WHEELS BECAUSE THE CURRENT WHEELS ON THE VEHICLE WERE STARTING TO RUST. IN SEPTEMBER, I HAD MY...

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TAKEN TO MECHANIC AFTER PURCHASING USED WITH 69,500 MILES FOR "CLUNKING" NOISE IN FRONT-END. REPLACED PARTS INCLUDED: SWAY BAR LINKAGES, TIE ROD ENDS, AND STRUTS AND MOUNTS ALL OF WHICH NEEDED REPLACING. BUT THE NOISE WAS STILL THERE. THE MECHANIC THEN USED A TOOL HE CALLED "CHASSIS EARS" TO PINPOINT THE SOURCE OF THE NOISE. HE FOUND THAT THE SUBFRAME (ENGINE CRADLE) WAS RUSTED AT THE POINT THAT IT MOUNTS TO THE BODY, JUST UNDER THE FRONT PASSENGER-SIDE FLOORBOARD. UPON FURTHER INSPECTION RUST WAS APPARENT ON THE DRIVERS-SIDE ALSO. THIS IS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE!!! THE ENTIRE FRONT-END OF THE VEHICLE INCLUDING: ENGINE, TRANSMISSION, AND ALL FRONT-END SUSPENSION AND STEERING IS HELD IN PLACE BY THIS SUBFRAME (ENGINE CRADLE). WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THIS TOTALLY FAILS WHILE DRIVING WITH SIX PEOPLE IN THE VEHICLE? WHY HAS THIS NOT BECOME A MANDATORY SAFETY RECALL? DOES SOMEONE HAVE TO GET...

I WAS DRIVING MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WHEN THE ACCELERATION STARTED TO TAPER OFF GRADUALLY. EVENTUALLY IT WENT DOWN TO 25MPH WHEN I PULLED OFF THE ROAD. AS I TURNED OFF THE ENGINE SMOKE STARTED FLOWING OUT OF THE VENTS IN THE CAR. WITHIN A COUPLE OF MINUTES FIRE WAS SHOOTING OUT OF THE PASSENGER'S FOOT WELL FROM THE ENGINE. THE POLICE WAS ON THE SCENE IMMEDIATELY AND WAS UNABLE TO PUT IT OUT TWO FIRETRUCKS AND 4 POLICE CARS ARRIVED AT THE SCENE. THEY STATED THEY HAD NEVER SEEN A CAR GO UP SO FAST. THERE WAS NOTHING BUT THE SHELL LEFT. *TR

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH FAILED MOTOR MOUNTS (3). *TR

PROBLEM WAS WITH MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA NOT STARTING. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC FOUND THAT I HAVE THREE BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL ACCORDING TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ONLINE. *TR

MY CAR WAS RECENTLY STATE INSPECTED AND IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT I NEEDED THE FRONT AND REAR MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AFTER RESEARCHING THE PROBLEM, I READ COMPLAINTS FROM MANY OWNERS WHO HAD THE EXACT SAME FAILURES WITH THEIR PACIFICA'S DESPITE LOW MILEAGE (30,000 TO 40,000 MILES). THE PROBLEM APPEARS TO BE A SERIOUS DEFECT WITH THIS CAR BECAUSE THE MOTOR MOUNT IS ON BACKORDER WITH THE MAJORITY OF CHRYSLER DEALERS. A CHRYSLER PARTS DEPARTMENT EMPLOYEE AT REEDMAN'S DEALERSHIP IN LANGHORNE, PA. TOLD ME THE PART IS ON BACKORDER WITH NO AVAILABILITY DATE FORECASTED. THE EMPLOYEE TOLD ME THIS IS A SURE SIGN OF A SERIOUS PROBLEM WHEN THIS OCCURS. I HAVE A PROBLEM NOW BECAUSE I WON'T BE ABLE TO DRIVE MY CAR WHEN THE STATE INSPECTION STICKER EXPIRES THE END OF APRIL. I HAVE READ THE SHORTAGE IS POSSIBLY SELF INFLICTED SO AS TO AVOID...

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA DEVELOPED PROBLEMS WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND THE WHEEL BEARINGS. *MR THE CONSUMER EXPERIENCED PROBLEM UPON THE ARRIVAL AT HOME ON THE FIRST DAY OF PURCHASE. THERE WERE CLUNKING SOUNDS WHEN IN DRIVE, REVERSE, SHIFT OR REVERSE TO DRIVE, A WHINE WHEN DECELERATING AT 30-40 MPH, EXCESS BACKLASH IN THE DIFFERENTIAL. THE SERVICE DEALER NOTES STATED THAT THERE WAS INCORRECT GEAR LASH AND BEARING PRELOAD UPON ORIGINAL ASSEMBLY FROM THE FACTORY. THE DEALER FIXED THE WHEEL BEARING AND STATED THAT THE TRANSMISSION WAS NORMAL. THE CONSUMER REQUESTED A REFUND. *SC

PLEAE BE ADVISED THAT BOTH MY ENGINE LOWER MOUNTS WERE LEAKING-ONE WAS DRIED OUT TOTALLY THE OTHER WAS ALMOST DRIED -I WAS ABLE TO ORDER OEM CHRYSLER PARTS FOR MY 2004 PACIFICA AND HAD IT REPALCED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE (MIGHT BE A DESIGN FLAW) AND OR BAD PARTS BEINGS USED. NONE THE LESS THIS ACCURED AT ABOUT 28,800 =/- TO MATURE FOR THESE ITEMS TO BE NEEDING REPLACEMENT.

WHILE TRAVELING WEST ON I-80, (THE OHIO TURNPIKE) MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, LOST ALL POWER FROM THE POWER TRAIN. THIS HAPPENED SUDDENLY,WITH NO PRIOR INDICATIONS OF A PROBLEM, IN HEAVY TRUCK TRAFFIC, WHILE TRAVELLING AT 75 MPH. *AK IT REQUIRED OVER FOUR DAYS TO REPAIR THE VEHICLE, AS THE TECHNICIAN DETERMINED THAT THE TRANSMISSION HAD NO PRESSURE. THIS WAS CAUSED BY A BURNED-OUT ROUTER IN THE TRANSMISSION PUMP. I WAS WAS SHOWN THE REPLACEMENT PART AND NOTED THE INTERIOUR WAS MACHINED TO A INTIRERLY DIFFERENT CONFIGURATION. I WAS ALSO INFORMED THAT THE INITIAL PRODUCTION RUNS ALL HAD THIS DESIGN FAULT. THE TECH. THAT REPAIRED THE AUTO ,ALSO STATED THA THEY WERE INFORMED OF THIS AT THEIR TRAINING SCHOOLS. CHYRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS DEFECT..A VERY COSTLY RECALL, I'M SURE. THE CONSEQUENCES OF A FAILURE OF THIS NATURE IS NOT VERY DIFFICULT TO FORSEE, AN INEXPERPERIENCED DRIVER PASSING A LINE OF CARS...
