WE PURCHASED OUR 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN MAY 2005. AFTER DRIVING ABOUT 15,000 MILES WE STARTED TO NOTICE A CLUNKING SOUND WHEN CORNERING WHILE BRAKING, OR STARTING OUT FROM A STOPPED POSITION. WE WENT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP AND WERE TOLD THAT IT WAS NORMAL MOVEMENT FOR THE PACIFICA. WE HAD THE PACIFICA LOOKED AT BY THE DEALERSHIP OVER 5 TIMES WITH THE SAME RESPONSE. THE ISSUE PROGRESSIVELY GOT WORSE AND NOW THE VEHICLE SHAKES WHEN CHANGING GEARS, CORNERING, STOPPING, STARTING, OR HITTING POTHOLES. WE WENT TO ANOTHER DEALERSHIP AFTER MOVING AND IN MARCH 2010 WE WERE TOLD THAT THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE BAD AND WERE CAUSING THE ISSUE WE ARE EXPERIENCING. THE DEALERSHIP OFFERED TO REPLACE THEM ALL FOR $2500, WHICH WAS OUT OF OUR BUDGET SO WAS NOT COMPLETED.
