2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Engine And Engine Cooling Problems

IN JUNE OF 2010 MY WIVES 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH ABOUT 63000 MILES BEGAN TO MAKE FUNNY NOISES FROM THE FRONT END IT WAS TAKEN TO HER UNCLE WHO IS A MECHANIC. UPON INSPECTION HE NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD SEVERAL LARGE HOLES RUSTED THROUGH THE CRADLE, ONE WAS SO LARGE THAT IT WAS 6" X 3" HE STATED THAT THIS IS NOT NORMAL FOR A PART TO RUST LIKE THIS AND SHOULD TAKE IT TO THE DEALER WHERE WE BOUGHT IT SO THE FOLLOWING DAY WE TOOK TO ROBERTS CHRYSLER AND TOLD THAT THIS IS NOT A SAFETY ISSUE AND THEY WOULD REPLACE THE CRADDLE FOR $3500 AND WHEN I ASKED ABOUT OTHER PACIFICAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE IS WAS TOLD THAT THIS PART IS ONLY COVERED IN HIGH SALT AREAS OF THE US . I LIVE IN CONNECTICUT. SO I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND GAVE THEM THE VIN...

SUBFRAME UNDER ENGINE IS ROTTED OUT. *TR

I HAD GOTTEN A CATALYTIC CONVERTER APPROXIMATELY 2 YEARS AGO AND NOW THE CHRYSLER DEALER SAY I NEED ANOTHER ONE I THOUGHT THEY LAST LONGER THAN THAT, INSTEAD THEY SAY ITS WEAR AND TEAR I DO NOT THINK SO I THINK THERE IS A DEFECT IN THE EMISSION. *TR

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE IN 2011. WHEN I BROUGHT TO MY MECHANIC FOR AN OIL CHANGE HE TOLD ME MY SUBFRAME (ENGINE CRADLE) WAS SEVERELY RUSTED AND CORRODED AND THAT I PROBABLY WOULDN'T MAKE IT THROUGH THE WINTER...THE PART COST AROUND $1200. ALONE WITHOUT LABOR. I TRIED TO SAVE UP THE MONEY BUT WE JUST COULDN'T DO IT AND WITHIN THE PAST COUPLE MONTHS MY MECHANIC HAS INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE UNTIL IT IS FIXED. HE ALSO ADVISE TO CHECK FOR A RECALL AND TO CALL CHRYSLER AND SEE WHAT THEY SAY TO DO. THEY SAY THERE WAS A SERVICE BULLETIN FOR THAT MATTER OF THE DEFECTIVE PART BUT ONLY FOR THE MONTH OF FEB 04-MARCH 04 AND MINE WAS MADE IN JUNE 04 AND THAT MY CAR EVEN THOUGH IT HAS THE SAME ISSUE IS EXEMPT FROM THE REPLACEMENT PART. SO I AM...

TOOK CAR IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. CHRYSLER DEALER STATED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTING OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACE VERY SOON AND IS DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR A SELECT 2004 YEAR CARS FOR THE SAME REASON. WHY HAS THE RECALL NOT BEEN EXTENDED TO INCLUDE A WIDER RANGE OF VINS? I NOTICE ABOUT 1/2 OF THE RECENT COMPLAINTS ARE FOR THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM. *TR

ENGINE CRADLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH AND MADE THE CAR UNSAFE TO OPERATE FOR MY TEENAGE SON. A VERY EXPENSIVE REPLACEMENT IS REQUIRED. STRUCTURAL INTEGRITY SHOULD HAVE A MUCH LONGER LIFETIME. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND DECLINED THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT. *TR

I OWN A 3005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS BEEN TAKEN REGULARLY TO THE DEALER FOR OIL CHANGES REPAIRS AND REGULAR MAINTENANCE. TODAY MY HUSBAND NOTICED SOME RUSTING OF THE FRAME THAT THE ENGINE SITS IN SO I WENT TO DEALER AND HAD THEM LOOK AT IT AND THEY AGREED AND WERE SURPRISED THAT THIS WAS HAPPENING AND IT SHOULDN'T. I WAS TOLD IT SHOULD BE FIXED IS VERY UNSAFE AND THE COST IS VERY EXPENSIVE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SIMPLY SAID SORRY NOT A RECALLED VEHICLE AND THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. THEY TOLD ME TO FIX IT AND SAVE THE RECEIPT IN CASE THERE IS A FUTURE RECALL. I AM VERY UPSET BY THIS RESPONSE. I AM CONCERNED ABOUT DRIVING MY KIDS AS WELL AS MYSELF ANY WHERE IN A CAR THAT IS UNSAFE AND APPARENTLY OUR SAFETY IS NOT A CONCERN FOR CHRYSLER. I WILL MAKE...

JUST HAD A STATE INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE DONE ON MY 2005 PACIFICA. THE TECHNICIAN PUT MY CAR ON A LIFT AND POINTED OUT MULTIPLE AREAS WHERE THE ENGINE CRADLE FRAME IS RUSTING OUT. HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS ON A VEHICLE OF THIS AGE. AS IT TURNS OUT, WHILE INVESTIGATING THIS ISSUE ON THE NHTSB AND OTHER WEB SITES, THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AND IS APPARENTLY OF LITTLE CONCERN TO CHRYSLER. THEY HAVE OFFERED SOME PEOPLE HELP AND OTHERS HAVE BEEN TOLD "TOO BAD", BASED ON SOME ARBITRARY MANUFACTURE DATE RANGE. THIS IS EVEN THOUGH THE DEFECT IS THE SAME NO MATTER THE MANUFACTURE DATE. THIS TOTAL DISREGARD FOR THE SAFETY OF THEIR CONSUMERS IS UNBELIEVABLE AND SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED. WHILE MY CAR HAS PASSED THIS INSPECTION, WITHOUT CORRECTION, IT WILL NEVER PASS AGAIN. THIS WAS NOT A LOW COST VEHICLE...

CAR CUTS BACK AND CUT OFF WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN YOU SLOW DOWN AND IN PART NOT SAFE TO DRIVE TOOK IT TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP 3TIMES SHOWS NO CODES NOT LIGHT ARE ON AT ALL REPORTED IT TO BBB AND THE PERSON THAT SOLD IT TO ME AND TOLD THEM ABOUT IT AT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP ABOUT IT TOOK IT TO ADVANCE AUTO PARTS NO CODES THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE AT THIS POINT DRIVE AT 35 OR 45 LESS CUT OFF OR CUT BACK SOME TIME WHEN TURNING ON TO ANOTHER ROAD DRIVE IT AT 60 CUT BACK AT 55 CUT BACK PARK IN DRIVE WAY FOR IT TO HEAT UP CUTS OFF NO ONE SEEN TO KNOW WHAT IS GOING ON GO ON THE RAMP ON 95 IN RICHMOND VA CUT OFF HARD TO TURN WHEEL WHEN IT SHUT OFF TONIGHT I WENT TO THE STORE CUT OFF...

UPDATED 05/17/12 *BF UPDATED 05/22/12

DRIVING MY VEHICLE IN TOWN TAKING MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND WITH NO WARNING THE CAR JUST STOPPED. FELT LIKE WE HIT A WALL. LUCKILY ME AND MY CHILDREN WERE NOT HURT EXCEPT FOR SOME SEAT BELT BRUISING. WHILE LOOKING AROUND ONLINE I FOUND THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE 2005 PACIFICAS FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. I CALLED CHRYSLER TO TELL THEM I WANT IT FIXED AND THEY CLAIM MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE RECALL AND WOULDN'T HELP ME. I ASKED IF MAYBE IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN A BIGGER RECALL THAN THEY THOUGHT AND MAYBE THEY MADE A MISTAKE SO COULD THEY PLEASE LOOK AT IT AND MAKE SURE THE PART THAT WAS RECALLED WASN'T THE SAME PROBLEM I'M HAVING. THEY WOULDN'T ASSIST ME IN ANY WAY. THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE FOR ME AND MY CHILDREN. *TR

ON JAN 16, 2012 CAR MISSFIRED ON AN INCLINE SEVERAL TIMES WITHIN 12 MILES, THEN STALLED UPON TURNING RIGHT. DURING THE RETURN TRIP, MISSFIRED SEVERAL TIMES IN AN INCLINE. STALLED BACKING OUT OF A DRIVE WAY. ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. TOOK THE CAR TO MECHANIC AND THE LIGHT REGISTER THE CAM SHAFT. REPLACED IT. DURING ANOTHER INCIDENT TWO DAYS LATER ON JAN. 29, 2012. THE CAR AGAIN MISS FIRED ON AN INCLINE THEN PROMPTLY STALLED - NOT ON THE TURN - DURING THE INCLINE. HAD TO WAIT SEVERAL MINUTES FOR THE CAR TO START AGAIN. THE MISS FIRING HAS BEEN OCCURING FOR AT LEAST TWO MONTHS INTERMITTANTLY. I GOT IT CHECKED WITH THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON, BUT THE REPLACEMENT OF THE CAN SHAFT DIDN'T CORRECT THE PROBLEM. THE FIRST STALL OCCURED ON JAN 16, 2012. THE ENGINE LIGHT IS BACK ON AFTER THE STALL TODAY. AFTER RESEARCHING THIS ISSUE,...

WHEN I INITIALLY PURCHASED MY VEHICLE, 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, FROM GENESIS AUTO SALES LOCATED AT 1005 SPRINGDALE RD IN AUSTIN, TX. 78721 THERE WAS NOISE BY THE FRONT LEFT TIRE. AFTER BRINGING THIS TO THE COMPANIES ATTENTION THEY AGREED TO FIX IT. THE KEPT THE VEHICLE ABOUT A WEEK. THE DAY I PICKED IT UP MY FATHER LOOKED IT OVER AND FOUND DUCT TAPE ON THE PART, CV JOINT. I TOOK THE VEHICLE BACK AND ALSO MENTIONED THE HORN ALSO WENT OUT. THE COMPANY AGREED TO FIX THIS AGAIN AS WELL AS PERFORM MY INSPECTION AS THE STICKER HAD EXPIRED. THE CAR WAS KEPT ANOTHER 2 WEEKS. WHEN THE VEHICLE WAS PICKED UP FOR A SECOND TIME THE CAR BEGAN OVERHEATING. AT THIS TIME MY FATHER AND MECHANIC LOOKED IT OVER AND FOUND A BUSTED HOSE, BUT THEY NOTED THAT THE CV JOINT WAS DUCT TAPED AGAIN THIS TIME COVERED...

I HAVE PREVIOUSLY REPORTED A PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLING WHEN TURNING. THE PROBLEM HAS PROGRESSIVELY WORSENED. THIS MONTH ALONE, (DECEMBER 2011) THE CAR HAS STALLED 5 TIMES. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE THE CAR FOR FEAR THAT I WILL CRASH WHEN IT STALLS. THERE ARE SO MANY CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS THAT ARE REPORTING THE SAME PROBLEM. ALONG WITH THE STALLING ISSUE, THE GAS PEDAL STICKS AND NEEDS TO BE PUSHED RATHER HARD. A THIRD PROBLEM I HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS YEAR IS THE HEADLAMPS "BURNING OUT". I HAVE REPLACED THE FRONT LEFT HEADLAMP THREE THIS YEAR. I AM FAMILIAR WITH THE HANDLING INSTRUCTIONS FOR HEADLAMPS. I AM GREATLY DISTRESSED BY THESE PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY THE STALLING. I HAVE CHILDREN THAT I DRIVE AROUND IN THIS CAR. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT CHRYSLER'S FAILURE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. *TR

THIS HAS HAPPENED THREE TIMES NOW (TODAY BEING MOST RECENT). CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S ENGINE COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF WHEN TAKING A LEFT OR CUTTING ACROSS TRAFFIC TO LEFT GOING AT A SLOW SPEED. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS AND WE HAVE A TODDLER WHO WE ARE CONCERNED WHEN WE DRIVE IN THE CAR. DEALER HAS RUN REPORTS AND CHECKED CAR OUT TWICE AND FOUND NOTHING. NO CODES PULL UP DESPITE THE FACT THE ENGINE LIGHT COMES ON AND THE SYSTEM DASH SAYS "PERFORM SERVICE." *TR

THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE APPROXIMATELY 102,000.

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STARTED RUNNING TERRIBLE AT LOW SPEEDS. IT DOES NOT RUN SMOOTHLY, INSTEAD IT KIND OF CHUGS ALONG ALMOST LIKE IT IS MISSING OR LIKE I GOT A BAD TANK OF GAS. I HAVE BEEN THROUGH SEVERAL TANKS OF GAS ADDING FUEL CLEANER TO IT AND IT DOESN'T HELP. I HAVE TAKEN IT IN TO THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP TWICE AND THEY CAN NOT RECREATE THE PROBLEM. IT RUNS FINE ON THE HIGHWAY BUT AT 35 MPH IN TOWN I FEEL IT CHUG ALONG. VERY FRUSTRATING THAT CHRYSLER CAN NOT FIGURE OUT WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH IT. THEY HOOKED IT UP TO THE MACHINE AND GOT NOTHING BACK. THEY REPLACED SPARK PLUGS AND DID A FUEL INJECTION FLUSH AND ALSO SERVICE THE TRANSMISSION AND THE PROBLEM IS STILL HAPPENING. *TR

THE FIRST OCCASION WAS 2 MONTHS AGO, THE SUBSEQUENT STALLS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST TWO (2) WEEKS. UPON COMING TO A STOP AND PLACING THE CAR IN PARK THE ENGINE RESTARTS WITHOUT ANY PROBLEM. *TR

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS AND IT SEEMS THAT IT IS VERY COMMON IN THIS VEHICLE, I WONDER WHY NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO REMEDY THIS WIDE SPREAD PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR. *TR

MY WIFE WAS DRIVING ON A BUSY ROAD IN SALT LAKE TODAY ON A DOWNHILL STRAIGHTAWAY AND OUR 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA COMPLETELY STALLED. ALL ELECTRONICS TURNED OFF. ALL POWER STEERING AND BRAKES TURNED OFF. SHE HAD TO PUSH THE BRAKES VERY HARD TO GET THE VEHICLE TO A SAFE STOP AND COAST TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. AFTER A BRIEF REST, SHE WAS FINALLY ABLE TO RESTART THE CAR AND CONTINUE HER JOURNEY, BUT I NO LONGER FEEL SAFE WITH MY WIFE AND CHILDREN IN THIS CAR. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE ARE NO WARNINGS OR RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE. *TR

CHRYSLER KNOWS THERE IS PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY CANNOT KEEP ENOUGH OF THEM IN STOCK. *TR

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT HAS STALLED SEVERAL TIMES WHILE I WAS DRIVING. MOST RECENTLY IT HAS HAPPENED TWICE IN THE PAST TWO DAYS. ONE OF THE OCCASIONS WAS WHILE I WAS MERGING ONTO THE INTERSTATE. THE FIRST COUPLE TIMES THIS OCCURRED OVER THE PAST YEAR I JUST DISMISSED THE PROBLEM. NOW THAT IT SEEMS TO BECOME MORE FREQUENT, I AM FEARFUL THAT IT COULD HAPPEN AND SOMEONE WILL BE HURT. *TR

I OWN A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN OCTOBER 2004. IN OCTOBER 2009, I WAS DRIVING HOME DURING AFTERNOON RUSH HOUR. I NOTICED MY CAR SMOKING AND ATTEMPTED JUST TO MAKE IT HOME. ABOUT 20 MINUTES LATER, MY CAR BEGAN TO HESITATE AND TURNED OFF ONCE OR TWICE WHEN I STOPPED AT STOP LIGHTS. EVENTUALLY, THE CAR SHUT DOWN COMPLETELY ON A MAJOR THOROUGHFARE AND WOULD NOT RESTART. AFTER BEING TOWED TO THE NEAREST DEALERSHIP, I DISCOVERED THAT THE RADIATOR HOSE HAD BEEN BLOWN OFF AND A HOLE BASICALLY RIPPED IN THE COOLANT JUG AS A RESULT. REPAIR COST: $564.00. PRIOR TO RELEASING THE VEHICLE, THE SERVICE TECHNICIANS NOTICED HOW LOUDLY AND ROUGHLY THE CAR WAS RUNNING AND DID FURTHER TESTS, TO DISCOVER THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKEN AND IN NEED OF REPAIR, WHICH CAUSED THE PROBLEM THAT I PAID NEARLY $600 TO FIX. PROJECTED...

BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY 05 CHRYSLER PACIFICA,IN READING THE CHRYSLER FORUM, THIS IS A MAJOR COMMON PROBLEM AND A DANGEROUS CONDITION AND THE REPLACEMENT PARTS HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER FOR "MONTHS" THIS HAS BEEN RECURRING ON ALL PACIFICA'S SINCE 04.AND THE COST FOR PARTS AND LABOR IS OVER $500.00. THIS PROBLEM SHOULD BE A MAJOR RECALL. MY UNDERSTANDING THAT THE MOUNTS ONLY LAST ABOUT 15000 MILES. *TR

REAR MOTOR MOUNTS SEEM TO BE A BIG ISSUE FOR CHRYSLER PACIFICAS. I HAVE A 2005 TOURING AND WAS TOLD 6 MONTHS AGO THAT I WOULD NEED TO REPLACE MINE. AT THAT TIME, THEY WERE ON NATIONAL BACK ORDER OF OVER 1,900!! I'M SURE THAT NUMBER HAS RISEN GREATLY SINCE JANUARY '09. IF THAT MANY REAR MOTOR MOUNTS ARE ON BACK ORDER, IT WOULD STAND TO REASON THAT THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THIS PART. WHY WOULD CHRYSLER NOT COVER REPLACING THIS PART UNDER WARRANTY?! IT'S BAD ENOUGH THAT WE HAVE TO WAIT AN INDEFINITE AMOUNT OF TIME TO RECEIVE THE REPLACEMENT PART. HOW SAFE IS THIS CAR TO DRIVE WITH THE ENGINE MOVING AROUND SO MUCH?! I'VE HEARD AND READ DIFFERING OPINIONS ON THE SAFETY ISSUE. IF IT IS INDEED A DANGER TO DRIVE A CAR IN THIS CONDITION, WHAT ARE WE SUPPOSED TO DO FOR TRANSPORTATION?! CHRYSLER...

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA DOESN'T GO WHEN I RELEASE THE BRAKE TO DRIVE IT. IT HESITATES AND THEN MOVES. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY NOTIFIED ME THAT 2 OF MY MOTOR MOUNTS WERE CRACKED AND THAT'S WHAT WAS CAUSING IT. I TRIED TO GET THE PARTS AND APPARENTLY 250 OF THEM ARE ON BACKORDER. WE HAVE CALLED EVERY DEALERSHIP IN SAN ANTONIO AND SURROUNDING CITIES AND NO DEALER HAS THEM, MANY HAVE TOLD US THAT THEY ARE ON BACK ORDER AND THEY DON'T HAVE A DATE OF WHEN THEY ARE TO BE SHIPPED, (COULD BE MONTHS), NONE OF THIS OF COURSE WAS COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY THAT WE HAVE. MY PROBLEM IS THAT THIS VEHICLE ISN'T THAT OLD AND HAS 68000 MILES ON IT, I AM SHOCKED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ARE ALREADY CRACKED AND NEED TO BE REPLACED. IF 250 OF THEM ARE ON BACK...

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WAS HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY CAR THE DEALER TOLD ME IT WAS THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND HAD IT REPAIR THAT COST ME $500. THEN AFTER LESS THAN A YEAR I HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS AGAIN, THEN TO ONLY FIND OUT THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT THAT WAS PLACE ON MY CAR WAS FAULTY FROM THE FACTORY AND THAT THE PRODUCT IS ON BACK ORDER. I AM SITTING HERE NOW WITH A CAR WITH BAD MOTOR MOUNT AND WAITING FOR THE PRODUCT THAT I MIGHT NEVER GET. WAS TOLD IT WAS ON A NATIONWIDE BACK ORDER OF 2500 PLUS VEHICLES. THIS MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM I AM HAVING AND NO RECALL. I FIND THAT CARELESS. JUST BECAUSE THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IS HAVING FINANCIAL PROBLEMS DOESN'T MAKE IT RIGHT TO PUT THE CUSTOMER SAFETY AT RISK. I CANT TAKE MY CAR ON LONG TRIPS...

MASSIVE VAPORS STARTED TO EMIT FROM MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ENGINE. HAD TO GET THE CAR TOWED TO DEALERSHIP IN FOREST PARK, IL. WAS ADVISED THAT ENGINE MOUNTS BROKE AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. BECAUSE OF ENGINE MOUNT BREAKAGE, THE ENGINE CAN FALL DOWN. IN MY CASE, IT CAUSE VARIOUS CONNECTIONS AND FLUID PIPES TO BREAK AND/OR BE DISCONNECTED. I NOW HAVE WAITED FOR THREE MONTHS FOR REPLACEMENT PARTS, BUT CHRYSLER HAS NONE "DUE TO BACKORDER". I HAVE BROWSED MANY BLOGS AND THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE IN DIFFERENT BLOGS COMPLAINING ABOUT SAME ISSUE. CHRYSLER SHOULD HAVE RECALLED THE PART, BUT HAS NOT DONE SO. PLEASE HELP WITH CAUSING CHRYSLER TO RECALL THIS FAULTY PART AND WITH GETTING CHRYSLER TO PROVIDE REPLACEMENT PARTS! *TR

THE REAR MOTOR ON MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS FAILED BY BUSTING UNDER TORQUE LOAD. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE CONDITION FOR THIS PART AS IT IS FLUID FILLED AND CONTINUALLY ALLOWS DAMAGING CONDITIONS TO DEVELOP TO THE ENGINE IF NOT REPAIRED. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM AS MANY OWNER HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND HAVE CONTACTED CHRYSLER ABOUT IT. THEY CONTINUED TO DO NOTHING. THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER AS OF NOW WITH 1900+ OUTSTANDING. I CANNOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM OBVIOUSLY UNTIL THE DEALERS TAKE SHIPMENT OF THE PART. GOOGLE THIS PROBLEM AND YOU WILL SEE IT IS A REAL PROBLEM FOR CHRYSLER OWNERS. OWNERS ARE EVEN CONSIDERING A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT. CHRYSLER SHOULD ISSUE A RECALL FOR THIS PART AT A MINIMUM. *TR

THEY TELL ME MY WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS. THEY SAID IT IS A WEAR AND TEAR ITEM. THIS IS NOT RIGHT CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL THIS ITEM. THE DEALER SAYS THE PART IS NOT AVAILABLE. IT HAS BEEN ON BACK ORDER SINCE DECEMBER 08. THIS IS A BIG PROBLEM. I AM HAVING TO DRIVE THIS CAR WITH BAD MOTOR MOUNTS. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR
