2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Unknown Or Other Problems

ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED OUT! Safety risk. Had replaced. NEVER TOLD BY CHRYSLER THAT IT WOULD RUST OUT. NOW THE STEERING WHEEL WON’T MOVE! Power steering fluid full. CANNOT DRIVE IT. I’M A 72YO WOMAN WITH CANCER, NO FAMILY, CANNOT AFFORD EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. I NEED MY CAR REPAIRED.

Engine cradle,motor mount and sub frame completely rotted out. structural integrity at a total loss. Vehicle is no longer road worthy. This problem Chrysler is continuing to ignore is definitely Hazardous for other vehicles and their occupants if catastrophic failure of the above named components were to occur while driving even at normal operating speeds. How many complaints have to be made about this failure of design before something is done? how many people have to endure hardship over loss of transportation due to having repairs done, figuring out ways to cover costs or total loss of vehicle how many people have to be injured due to the problems this vehicle comes with? This problem is not just a few vehicles. It's pretty much every one made within the time period. Something has to be done about this. It's been a problem put in front of your and their face...

Driving normally when vehicle shut off and rear of engine burst into flame. It seems multiple people have had this problem.

Like other Pacificas 2004-10 my front subframe is rusting away. The repair cost will be $1500.00 if I am lucky. Please help!

I HAVE HAD TWO PACIFICAS 2004 AND 2005 BOTH DID THE EXACT SAME THING. STARTED WITH AN ODOR OF EXHAUST OR FUMES OF SOME SORT IN THE SAME WEEK. IT LOST POWER, OVERHEATED, HAD TO PULLED HOME. WOULD START IF COLD FOR SHORT PERIOD OF TIME. IN LESS THAN THE SAME WEEK. WENT TO HAVE SOMEONE WORK ON IT AND THE BATTERY WAS DEAD WHERE I HAD TRIED TO START IT TO MANY TIMES/ MY FAULT. HOWEVER AS SOON AS IT GOT CONNECTION THE KEY WASNT EVEN IN THE SWITCH AND THE MOTOR WAS ROLLING OVER. THAT ONE SAT AT THAT TIME. FOUND 05 WITHIN A WEEK OR TWO AND FIGURED ONE FOR PARTS IF BREAK DOWN. NOTHING AT ALL WRONG STARTING OUT. ONLY DROVE THE 05 APPRX 3MONTHS AND STARTED THE EXACT SAME THING FROM ODOR TO OVERHEATING AND I DO NOT KNOW ALOT ABOUT VEHICLES BUT SEEMS TO...

I bought a 2005 Chrysler Pacific 3 weeks ago from a dealership.. Engine light came on and car was stalling when I was at a light. Took to a shop to get checked it was 2 censer's.but afterwards still light was on. They checked further the motor mounts and subframe are rusted bad. To a point dangerous.! Of course the place I bought it at refuses to do anything. Not happy!

POWER STEERING LEAK INSPECTED LINES.. FOUND #2 CROSS MEMBER TO FRAME RUSTED OUT( RIGHT SIDE/ PASSENGER SIDE) NO SUPPORT TO ENGINE .ONE OWNER 79,000. MILES..

THE ENGINE CRADLE IS ROTTED AND THE ENGINE MAY FALL OUT. I'VE READ WHAT OTHER PEOPLE HAD SAID AND IT IS A KNOWN ISSUE THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF AND IS A EXTREMELY SERIOUS ISSUE AND TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE IS NOT CHEAP ALSO. PLEASE HELP ME

THERE IS A DEFAULT WITH THE IGNITION SWITCH WHEN TRYING TO START THE CAR. THERE ARE FIVE MORE CHRYSLER PACIFICAS THAT I KNOW OF WITH THE SAME PROBLEM.

ENGINE CRADLE ROTTED THROUGH. FIRESTONE TELLS ME IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

WHEN YOU HIT THE BRAKES A NOISE COMES OUT OF THE REAR BRAKES (MORE ON THE REAR PASSENGER SIDE) AND I FEEL A SMALL VIBRATION ON THE BRAKE PEDAL. WHEN I LET GO OF THE PEDAL THE NOISE STOPS.THIS HAPPENS WHEN THE CAR IS MOVING AND IS WORSE IF YOU PULLING A TRAILER AT 50 TO 60 MPH. IT'S BEEN HAPPENING SINCE I GOT THE CAR 6/15/2019.

I HAVE TO COMPLETELY REPLACE THE UNDER CARRIAGE/FRAME OF MY CHRYSLER PACIFICA DUE TO IT CORRODING & RUSTING OUT THE PASSENGER WHEEL FRAMEWORK. THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD SEEING AS IF A LARGE POTHOLE WAS HIT OR AN IMMEDIATE BRAKING WERE NEEDED THE ENTIRE TIRE COULD SNAP OFF & CAUSE A MAJOR ACCIDENT. I AM FEARFUL TO DRIVE MY CAR.

THE VEHICLE IS STUCK IN PARK. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER IS BROKEN (SMALL PINK PLASTIC PIECE THAT ATTACHES TO A SPRING). THE VEHICLE WILL NOT SHIFT FROM PARK TO REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE, ETC.

I HAVE AN 05 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT IN JANUARY OF THIS YEAR I WAS INFORMED THAT I NEEDED MOTOR MOUNTS, AFTER TAKING IT TO A COUPLE OF MECHANICS TO SEE WHAT THE ISSUE WAS I WAS TOLD TO REPLACE THE MOTOR MOUNTS WOULD BE ANYWHERE IN THE AREA OF $800 TO $1,200 , SO MY PACIFICA SAT ALL WINTER. AFTER CHECKING AROUND SOME OF MY FRIENDS TOLD ME THEY KNEW OF A MECHANIC WHO WOULD BE ABLE TO DO IT PROVIDED I BOUGHT THE PARTS ONLINE. I FOUND THE PARTS ONLINE FOR UNDER $100 FOR FOUR MOTOR MOUNTS I SET UP AN APPOINTMENT THIS SUMMER WITH THE MECHANIC TO HAVE THEM INSTALLED, HE WAS ABLE TO INSTALL THREE OF THE FOUR MOTOR MOUNTS HE WAS NOT ABLE TO INSTALL THE FOURTH ONE BECAUSE OF RUST DAMAGE TO THE SUBFRAME OR ENGINE CRADLE.I CALLED CHRYSLER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE...

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FROM PRIME AUTO SALES ON 10/19/18 FOR $4573.13. ON 8/24/19 I TOOK THE VEHICLE TO MIDAS TO HAVE BRAKES INSTALLED ON THE VEHICLE. MIDAS DID NOT EVEN WANT TO PUT THE BRAKES ON THE CAR, BECAUSE THEY SAY THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THEY INFORMED ME THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT AND I SHOULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT IS ILLEGAL FOR A DEALERSHIP TO SELL UNSAFE VEHICLES WITH THIS MUCH FRAME DAMAGE. THIS IS NOT SOMETHING THAT HAPPENS OVERNIGHT. THEY HAD TO KNOW THIS WHEN THEY SOLD ME THE VEHICLE. ALSO THEY MISLED ME WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR BY SAYING THAT IT WAS AN ALL-WHEEL DRIVE VEHICLE WHEN IT WAS NOT. NOW, NOT ONLY AM I PAYING A CAR LOAN BUT BECAUSE I HAVE A LOAN I AM REQUIRED TO CARRY FULL-COVERAGE INSURANCE ON...

"TAKATA RECALL" MY ENTIRE UNDERCARRIAGE HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT THE MUFFLER FELL OFF AND THE BOLTS THAT HOLD THE FRAME TO THE BOTTOM OF THE CAR RUSTED OUT AND ARE HANGING THERE UNCONNECTED.THE MECHANIC PUT HIS FINGERS RIGHT THROUGH THE MOTOR MOUNT AND EXPLAINED THAT MY CAR ..AFTER I HAVE MADE MY LAST PAYMENT IS UNDRIVABLE. WE DO NOT IVE IN A STATE THAT HAS SALT ON THE ROADS AND MY CAR IS HOUSED IN A GARAGE AT ALL TIMES.THE REPAIRS ARE OVER 4800. I CANNOT SELL IT AS IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED IF THE CAR WAS DRIVING FAST ENOUGH AND A BUMP WAS HIT THE MOTOR WOULD COME UP INTO THE DRIVER AND FRONT SEAT KILLING ANYONE IN IT NOT TO MENTION OTHER VEHICLES ON THE ROAD. I LOVE MY CAR AND AM VERY SAD THAT THIS PROBLEM ISNT ON THE RECALL LIST AS OTHER...

RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE I DISCOVERED THAT THERE HAS BEEN THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE ENGINE CRADLE RUSTING OUT DUE TO CHRYSLER IMPROPERLY COATING THE FRAMEWORK. I NATURALLY WENT OUT TO LOOK AT MINE TO MAKE SURE IT DID NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I WAS VERY DISAPPOINTED. I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR A FAMILY VEHICLE AND NOW DO NOT FEEL SAFE DRIVING IT WITH MY 4 CHILDREN AND CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIRS AS MY SAVINGS WAS USED TO PURCHASE SAID VEHICLE. ONE WOULD THINK AFTER THOUSANDS OF SUCH DANGEROUS CLAIMS THAT THE NHTSA WOULD DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS

I TOOK MY CAR INTO THE MECHANIC TO HAVE THE WATER PUMP REPLACED WHICH HE DID. BUT HE ALSO TOLD ME THAT IT WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE CRADLE HOLDING THE ENGINE IN WAS ALL RUSTED OUT. AND THAT THE ENGINE COULD JUST FALL OUT AT ANY MOMENT. AND THAT THE CAR WOULD STOP I WOULD LOSE STEERING. HE DID SHOW ME HE PICTURES ON HIS PHONE. AND TOLD ME HE WOULD LOOK FOR A CRADLE FOR MY CAR. SO I WENT HOME TO CHECK THIS PROBLEM OUT ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT OTHER PACIFICA'S WERE HAVING THIS PROBLEM ALSO. SO I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO COMPENSATE US AND GET THIS PROBLEM FIXED BEFORE SOMEBODY IS KILLED. LUCKILY MY MECHANIC LET ME KNOW THIS SO THAT I WOULD NOT BE DRIVING ON A HIGHWAY. AFTER REALIZING I COULD MAKE A COMPLAINT I ASK MY MECHANIC IF HE...

AFTER DOING A MAJOR REPAIR OF $800 ON MY CAR FOR A NEW WATER PUMP AND TIMING CHAIN. I WAS TOLD THAT MY CRADLE HOLDING THE ENGINE IN PLACE COULD DROP ANY MINUTE BECAUSE OF THE RUST. MY MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT HE WOULD NOT RECOMMEND DRIVING THIS VEHICLEBECAUSE AT ANYTIME THE EGINE AND STERINGCOLOM COULD FALL OUT ANY MONENT.THE CRADLE HOLD THESE ITEMS IN WERE RUSTED OUT SO BAD.. I LOOKED ONLINE AND NOTICED THERE WAS MANY PEOPLE COMPLAINING OF THIS. LET'S GET SOMETHING DONE BEFORE SOMEONE DIES. THANK YOU MY MECHANIC TOKE PICTURES OF ALL THIS RUST. BUT I WAS UNABLE TO GET THEM. BUT I'M SURE I'M NOT THE FIRST TO COMPLAIN. PLEASE RECONSIDER THIS RECALL. THANK YOU.

I WAS TRAVELING DOWN THE ROAD AND WAS TURNING SLIGHTLY AT A CURVE AT THE ROAD, I WAS TRAVELING AT APPROXIMATELY 25-30 MPH AND THE CAR JUST SHUT OFF COMPLETELY. IT DID START BACK UP AND HAS DRIVEN OK BUT WAS TOLD IT WAS A PREVIOUS RECALL ISSUE BUT I HAVEN'T BEEN ABLE TO FIND IT SO I'M TAKING THE NEXT STEP.

ENGINE CRADLE AND MOTOR MOUNTS ROTTED. POSSIBILITY OF ENGINE FALLING OUT IF NOT FIXED, I HAVE BEEN QUOTED $950 TO FIX BY CALLAHAN'S BRAKE AND MUFFLER SHOP IN PONTIAC, MI. VEHICLE WAS UNDER INSPECTION. I HAVE ALREADY INCURRED COST FROM THE SAME PROBLEM AND YET AGAIN HERE I AM LOOKING AT THE SAME ISSUE.

SUB FRAME ROTTED OUT, I AM CONFUSED THAT YOU SAID THAT THIS ITEM IS A A CONSUMER SATISFACTION ISSUE. IT IS A CRUMPLE ZONE IN CASE YOU HAVE A FRONTAL IMPACT. SO BASED ON IT,S FUNCTION IT SHOULD BE A SAFETY ISSUE ????. THE STRONGEST PART OF THE CAR IS THE FIRST PART TO ROT AWAY, THAT IS TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE. I NEED FEEDBACK ON THIS ??????

MY MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE FRAME IS VERY BADLY RUSTED MAKING THE CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHEN HE TRIED TO FIND A REPLACEMENT PART, QUICKLY FOUND OUT THAT THIS PROBLEM IS WIDESPREAD ON THIS TYPE OF CAR FROM THE SAME YEAR. WE CANNOT DRIVE THIS CAR WITHOUT A $2500 REPAIR AND THE CAR IS ONLY WORTH ABOUT $4000. SO IT IS BASICALLY JUNK BECAUSE OF THE RUSTED FRAME.

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STARTED MAKING NOISE IN FRONT PASSENGER SIDE IN THE SUSPENSION AND WHEEL AREA WHILE ON THE INTERSTATE. A SHORT TIME LATER THE FRONT PASSENGER WHEEL STARTED SHAKING AND WOBBLING UNCONTROLLABLY AT SPEEDS OF 65MPH. THEIR WAS NO WARNING! THANK GOD I WAS ENTERING TOWN AND WAS CLOSE TO HOME. I GOT THE CAR HOME AND HAD FRIEND WHO IS A MECHANIC INVESTIGATE THE PROBLEM. WHAT HE FOUND WAS SCARY!!!!! THE WHOLE SUB FRAME AND ENGINE CRADLE WAS ALMOST COMPLETELY GONE DUE TO SEVERE RUSTING IN THE EXACT AREA WHERE THE SUSPENSION COMPONENTS ATTACH TO THE FRAME. SUPER BAD DAY WHEN I SHOWED THE PICTURES TO 3 DIFFERENT LOCAL AUTOMOTIVE SHOPS WITH WELL OVER 100 YRS OF EXPERIENCE COMBINED AND ALL INFORMED ME THAT THE ESTIMATED COST TO REPAIR WAS 4000.00 UP TO 5500.00. COMPLETELY ABSURD! CAR IS WORTHLESS AND ONLY HAS 100,000 MILES ON IT. YOU...

CHRYSLER PACIFICA ENGINE CRADLE ROT. NEW YORK STATE DMV REFUSES TO RENEW MY REGISTRATION DUE TO YEARLY INSPECTION FAILED. THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE ENGINE CRADLE ROT. SALT CORROSION.

I STARTED TO DRIVE MY 2005 CHRSYLER PACIFICA AND TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERES NO PROBLEM WITH MY CAR WHEN THEY DROVE IT NO CODES PULL UP SHOWING UP WHEN THEY TEST THAT. IT SHIFTS HARD FROM SECOUND GEAR TO 3 RD GEAR REALLY HARD I CANT TAKE OFF TO FAST OR IT DOES IT HARDER SO I HALF TO MAKE SURE GETTING ON THE HIGH WAY WHERE I LIVE NO ONE IS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE ROAD FOR ME TO GO SO FOR ME TO DRIVE SLOW AND PICK UP SPEED AND IT DOES IT WHEN I START TO SLOW DOWN ONCE I SLOWED DOWN IT JERKS FROM SECOUND GEAR TO 3RD GEAR AND ITS SCARY I HALF TO TAKE MY KIDS TO SCHOOL AND I HAVE 3 KIDS WITH ME AT ALL TIMES IN THIS CAR.

TRANSMISSION ALL THE SUDDEN ACTED LIKE IT WASN'T AHIFTING JUST DRIVING NORMALLY ON REGULAR PAVED ROAD, RPMS HIGH AND DIES AND HAS A KNOCK UNDER THE HOOD. TRIED LOOKING UP WHAT IS WRONG AND APPARENTLY THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF THEM THAT HAVE DONE SAME THING. WOULD LIKE TO GET IT FIXED BUT SEEMS NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX IT

CROSS MEMBER UNDER ENGINE RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH

I JUST NOTICED THE ROTTING ENGINE CRADLE ON MY CAR AND FOUND OUT IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE BY FCA AND MANY OTHER CONSUMERS SUFFERING THE SAME CONDITION. I HAVE NOT HAD REPAIRED YET

WAS TOLD THAT ON MY TYPE OF VEHICLE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE K FRAME/CROSS MEMBER. FROM THEM ROTTING OUT. CAR PASSED EMISSIONS INSPECTION BIT BECAUSE OF THE FRAME WOULD NOT PASS. MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL. DEALERSHIP SAID OTHERWISE.

EXTENSIVE UNDER CARRIAGE RUSTING

THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THE SUB-FRAME THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE TO THE CAR IS RUSTED THROUGH THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THRU AND WILL BECOME A HAZARD TO DRIVE WITHOUT REPAIRS THE CARS ARE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE ENGINES CAN FALL OUT.

TOOK MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA INTO THE MECHANIC FOR FRONT END NOISE. THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT MY SUB FRAME IS RUSTED OUT. THE MECHANIC IS CONCERNED THAT MY ENGINE COULD FALL OUT.

DUE TO FAILURE OF THE CORROSION PROTECTION ON THE ENGINE CRADLE RUST HAS CREATED HOLES IN THE CRADLE THAT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE. OVER CERTAIN ROUGH ROADS THERE IS A KNOCKING SOUND.

OUR VEHICLE HAS 88,000 MILES AND IT JUST FAILED A SAFETY INSPECTION BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE IS ROTTING/RUSTED AND THE ENGINE IS IN JEOPARDY OF FALLING OUT OF THE CAR. THE DEALER (GOOD BROTHERS DODGE) ACKNOWLEDGES THE SAFETY CONCERN AND THAT CHRYSLER HAS HAD PROBLEMS WITH THESE. THEY SUPPLIED A $3,200 ESTIMATE TO REPAIR. ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE SHOULDN'T BE DRIVEN. THERE APPEARS TO BE A PENDING CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS VERY ISSUE AND CHRYSLER UNWILLINGNESS TO ACKNOWLEDGE AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE DEFECT AND SAFETY HAZARD.

MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAS CRADLE ROT, SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. I WENT HOME DID MY RESEARCH JUST TO FIND OUT THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM. CHYRSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY USED SUBSTANDARD MATERIAL TO CREATE THE MAIN FRAME THAT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DRIVING A TIME BOMB. HOW DO I GET MY CAR FIXED?

I HAVE BEEN DOING A LOT OF RESEARCH ON MY VEHICLES PROBLEMS WITH EXCESSIVE RUST IN THE SUBFRAME. A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS OF THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS. I NEED TO BRING THIS UP BECAUSE IT'S GETTING TO THE POINT WHERE I'M NOT FEELING SAFE TO DRIVE IT. NOT SURE IF THE MANUFACTURES DIDN'T FOLLOW THE PROPER STEPS ON COATING THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF A VEHICLE. I UNDERSTAND MY VEHICLE IS ALMOST 12 YEARS OLD, I EXPECT SOME RUST TO BE THERE BUT WHEN YOU SEE HOLES BIG ENOUGH TO STICK YOUR HAND INSIDE, IT'S A PROBLEM!! I REALLY TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY VEHICLE AND IT'S HAS A LOT MORE TO GIVE, BUT THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND UNSAFE. I HAVE SEEN OTHER VEHICLES AROUND THE SAME AGE AND DO NOT HAVE SUCH EXTENSE ROT. I THINK THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THIS.

OFFICIAL CHRYSLER SERVICE REPAIR SHOP HAS BEEN DOING MY OIL CHANGES EVERY 3 MONTHS - 4 TIMES A YEAR SINCE 2005 WHEN I PURCHASED THE CAR. NOT ONCE HAS THEIR MECHANIC MENTIONED THE RUST OF THE CROSS MEMBER. I ONLY FOUND OUT AND TOOK PICTURES THIS WEEK WHEN I HAD A LOCAL SHOP CHANGE MY BREAKS AND DO TRANSMISSION SERVICE AND THEY SHOWED ME THE RUST, COULD NOT BELIEVE THAT NO ONE EVER MENTIONED THIS AS IT WAS EXTREME WITH CRACKS AND HOLES AND THAT CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS ISSUE REGARDING RUST ON CROSS MEMBER DUE TO THEM NOT PROPERLY COATING THE ENGINE CRADLE. CHRYSLER HAS HAD CERTAIN VIN #'S RECALLED, BUT CLAIM NOT MINE THOUGH BUILD IN 2004, I AM IN A SNOW BELT STATE ( NY). THEY DON'T WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I AM AFRAID TO DRIVE CAR, DANGEROUS AND ENGINE CAN FALL OUT - COULD COST...

THE ENGINE CRADLE IS VERY RUSTED

MECHANIC LIFTED MY 2005 PACIFICA (150,000+ MILES), TO CHANGE WHAT WE THOUGHT WAS A BAD CRANK SHAFT SENSOR. WHILE ON LIFT, NOTICED THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS OVER 75% CRACKED AND RUSTED. HE ADVISED THIS IS A VERY SEVERE DRIVING HAZARD FOR ME AND MY 3 CHILDREN TO DRIVE AND DUE TO THE CRACKING, THE ENGINE COULD FALL AT ANY TIME. HE WOULD NOT REPAIR AND STAYED IF I WERE TO FIND A MECHANIC WILLING TO REPAIR THIS, IS BE LOOKING AT LEAST $3000. VERY UPSET AND WORRIED THAT THIS BEING MY MEANS OF TRANSPORTATION, WILL IT BE SAFE IF REPAIRED ? *TR

RUSTED ENGINE CRADLE

RUSTED FRAME. SO BAD ENGINE MAY FALL OUT. UNABLE TO DRIVE.

I TOOK MY CAR INTO TO HAVE A SUSPENSION CHECK O REPLACED THE STRURSS WHEN MY MECHANIC CALLED ME AND TOLD MY THAT THE FRAME OR ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED OUT. HE TOOK SOME PICTURES AND THERE ARE HOLES IN THE CRADLE. HE ADVISED ME NOT TO PUT ANYMORE MONEY INTO THIS CAR.

I WAS DRIVING FROM WORK WAS STOPPED AT A LIGHT AND THE CAR STOPPED. I HAD PEOPLE PUSH THE CAR TO THE CURB. I WAITED FOR HELP AND THE CAR STARTED AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR. I WAS DRIVING THE CAR ABOUT THREE MONTHS LATER WITH MY 11 YERA OLD IN THE CAR AND THE CAR STARTED TO SLOW DOWN. I WAS ABLE TO TURN INTO A PARKING LOT AND THE CAR STOPPED. THE CAR WOULD NOT START, EVEN THOUGH DASHBOARD LIGHTS CAME ON. I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO MY HOME.

HAD MY 2005 PACIFICA IN THE SHOP TO REPLACE THE MUFFLER WHEN THEY GOT IT UP ON THE RACK THEY FOUND THE ENGINE CRADLE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR WAS SO ROTTED THEY ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT. CALLED THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY ESTIMATED THE COST FOR REPAIR AT $3700. CHRYSLER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM AND ADVISED ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT HELP FINANCIALLY WITH ANY REPAIR COSTS. WHAT WILL IT TAKE TO ISSUE A RECALL? PEOPLE DYING? DO YOUR JOB NHTSA. RECALL THESE CARS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS SERIOUSLY HURT!

DEALERSHIP INFORMWD ME AFTER MY 100,000 MILE WARRANTY WAS UP AND PAYING THEM 2000 DOLLARS TO REPAIR OTHER THINGS THAT THE ENGINE CRADEL WAS RUSTED AND WAS DANGEROUS. THEY LET ME DRIVE OFF THE LOT AND I HAVE BEEN BACK FOR OTHER REPAIRS AND THE RUST IS GETTING WORSE. CHRYSLER TOLD ME THERE WAS ONLY A FEW MONTH PERIOD THAT THEY WOULD WARRANTY THIS PROBLEM. WHAT CAN I DO SINCE I CANNOT AFFORD TO FIX THIS PROBLEM?

WE HAD BEEN ON A ROAD TRIP AND WERE DRIVING HOME. WE WERE MAKING A STOP TO GET GAS AND SAW SMOKE COMING OUT FROM THE ENGINE AREA. WE SMELT SOMETHING BURNING AND FOUND THAT THE FIREWALL INSULATION HAD FALLEN DOWN ON THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND BEGAN TO BURN. WE WERE ABLE TO GET THE INSULATION PULL OUT AND AWAY FROM THE CONVERTER BEFORE IT CAUSED MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE. IF WE HAD NOT STOPPED THERE WOULD HAVE BEEN A FIRE AND DESTROYED THE VEHICLE. WE CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND THEY SAID THERE WAS NO RECALL AND THE PART WAS OBSOLETE AND THEY COULD NOT DO ANYTHING FOR US AND ALSO STATED THAT THE CAR WAS FINE AND COULD STILL BE DRIVEN. THE INSULATION IS THERE FOR A REASON AND THIS WAS AN UNACCEPTABLE RESPONSE FROM CHRYSLER. WE HAVE STILL BEEN TRYING TO GET RESOLUTION FROM CHRYSLER AND...

CAR IN FOR OIL CHANGE. INFORMED FRONT SUBFRAME COMPLETE RUSTED THROUGH. NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. 2005 CAR ONLY HAS 22634 MILES. RESEARCH SHOWS CHRYSLER AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINT/CLASS ACTIONS FILED. STATES CHRYSLER MISSED STEP AND DID NOT COAT ENGINE CRADLE ALLOWING SEVERE RUST DAMAGE. ESTIMATE $3181.85 AND I WANT CHRYSLER TO COVER CHARGES TO FIX. INFO FOUND SAYS CHRYSLER ONLY AGREED TO FIX CARS BUILT DURING 2/23/04 - 3/31/04. CAN YOU ASSIST IN GETTING CHRYSTER TO DO THE RIGHT THING AND FIX AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE?

I BOUGHT A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN MAY OF 2016. WHEN I TOOK IT TO A GARAGE DUE TO A CLUNKING SOUND IN THE FRONT END IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES. MANY AREAS UNDER THE CAR ARE VERY BADLY RUSTED LIKE A CAR THREE TIMES AS OLD.

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA I PURCHASED FROM ORIGINAL OWNER WITH ONLY 63000 MILES. CAR WHILE DRIVING, CAR JUST ACCELERATES TO HIGH SPEED ON ITS OWN FOR NO REASON. HAVE TO PUT IT IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID DEATH OR INJURY. TODAY WHILE DRIVING NORMALLY, ALL WARNING LIGHTS CAME ON & WE ENDED UP STRANDED DUE TO WEIRD ELECTRICAL FAILURE WHERE WE CAN'T EVEN GET CAR OUT OF PARK. PASSENGER HEADLAMP HAS GONE OUT SEVERAL TIMES, NOW DRIVE FOG LAMP OUT. THERE APPEARS TO BE MANY MECHANICAL & ELECTRICAL FAILURES WITH THIS CAR. IT'S TRULY HORRIFYING HOW POORLY ENGINEERED AND DANGEROUS THESE CARS ARE & I'M FORCED TO DRIVE THIS WAGON WITH MY FAMILY AS WE CAN'T AFFORD TO REPLACE IT. WOULD LIKE TO START A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER FOR ENDANGERING THE PUBLIC WITH THEIR DANGEROUS CARS. HOW MANY PEOPLE NEED TO DIE BEFORE ALL THESE PACIFICA'S ARE RECALLED AND REPURCHASED...
