2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Unknown Or Other Problems

VEHICLE SUB-FRAME HAS RUSTED, ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED. CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE. WHY HAS A RECALL NOT BEEN ISSUED. I BROUGHT VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. IF NOT INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COULD HAVE FALLEN OUT WITH DISASTEROUS CONSEQUENCES. A SUB-FRAME SHOULD NOT RUST OUT ON A 10 YEAR OLD VEHICLE.

THE ENGINE CRADLE IS ROTTED SO BAD THE THE ENGINE IS READY TO FALL OUT .

ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED OUT AND I'VE BEEN TOLD IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. OCTOBER 2015 I HAD MY CAR TOWED TO HERITAGE CHRYSLER AT 9219 HARFORD ROAD -BALTIMORE, MD 21234 BECAUSE IT STOPPED RUNNING. I GOT IT BACK IN DECEMBER 2015 AFTER THEY PUT IN A TIMING BELT AND REPLACED THE ENGINE. A WEEK AFTER GETTING IT BACK I HAD A LEAK. I TOOK IT IN AND THEY TOLD ME THAT I NEEDED TO HAVE A TRANSMISSION AXLE SEAL REPLACED. I TOOK IT TO GLEN BURNIE TRANSMISSION TO HAVE THE SEAL REPLACED AND THEY WOULD NOT DO THE WORK. THEY SHOWED ME HOW THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD RUSTED AND THEY WERE AFRAID THE ENGINE CRADLE WOULD BREAK IF THEY REMOVE IT. I WAS INFORMED THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE I COULD HIT A BUMP OR POTHOLE AND LOOSE THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION. THEY COULD NOT BELIEVE HERITAGE CHRYSLER...

ENGINE CRADLE RUST. OIL CHANGE LAST WEEK, MECHANIC SAID HE WOULD NOT LET HIS WIFE DRIVE THIS CAR. 190,000 MILES, MECHANICALLY JUST FINE, CLEAN, NO BODY RUST. ENGINE CRADLE IS A ROTTED, RUSTED MESS. WE MAY TRY TO WELD SOME THICK STEEL TO IT IN AN EFFORT TO SAVE THE CAR. NOTHING TO LOSE AT THIS POINT, CANNOT SELL IT AND IT'S NOT WORTH MUCH JUST SITTING.

FRONT SUBFRAME/ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED THROUGH COULD CAUSE ENGINE TO FALL WHILE IN OPERATION. NO SERVICE BULLITONS OR RECALLS. SEEMS TO BE A KNOWN ISDUE WITH THIS VEHICLE

DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD, OUR CAR STARTED THROWING ITSELF INTO OTHER LANES. MIND YOU, EVERYTHING IS GOOD ON THE VEHICLE. STRUTS, TIE ROD ENDS, ETC... UPON OBSERVATION, YOU CAN SEE THE ENGINE CRADLE IS ROTTED OUT. THE REST OF THE CAR IS GOOD. MECHANICS SAY THE CAR NEEDS TO BE REMOVED FROM SERVICE. 130,000 MILES...REALLY? THIS IS OUR ONLY CAR. CHRYSLER (ONLINE) SAYS "TOUGH".....

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, MY MECHANIC SAID THE FRONT FRAME AND ENGINE MOUNTS WERE SEVERELY RUSTED AND THE CAR WOULD BECOME INOPERABLE.

THE ENGINE CRADLE HAS RUSTED TO AN UNSAFE CONDITION TO DRIVE VEHICLE.

I WENT TO GET THE 2005 CHRYSTLER PACIFICA INSPECTED AND WAS TOLD BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE BOTTOM WAS RUSTED SO BADLY THAT THE ENGINE WOULD FALL OUT, AND FURTHER THAT THE YEAR MAKE AND MODEL WAS UNDER RECALL FOR THE SAME PROBLEM, THE BOTTOM RUSTING OUT HORRIBLY. I CALLED CHRYSTLER WITH THE VIN # AND WAS TOLD THIS 1 WASN'T PART OF THE RECALL EVEN THOUGH IT WAS THE SAME YEAR AND MAKE OF THE RECALL. I OWE 4,400$ ON THE CAR AND NOW AM TOLD THE REPAIRS WOULD EXCEED 5,000$. I FINANCED IT FOR 6,455$ AT THE START. I'M DISABLED AND GREATLY IN NEED OF HELP, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO I HAVE MADE A SLEW OF CALLS TO NO AVAIL AT THIS POINT AND CONTINUE TO MAKE PAYMENTS AS I DON'T WANT TO RUIN MY CREDIT, PLEASE HELP ME, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO.

SUBFRAME CORROSION - THE SUBFRAME SUPPORTING THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION IS ROTTED OUT. MY MECHANIC INFORMS ME THE CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT OF THE CAR.

MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO THE SUB-FRAME ROTTING OUT. THIS VEHICLE IS GARAGE KEPT AND IN THE 8 YEARS I OWN IT, I HAVE DRIVEN IT LESS THAN 25,000 MILES. APPARENTLY THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. IS CHRYSLER OFFERING ANY REMEDIES OR RECALLS FOR THIS SUB-FRAME PROBLEM?

THE SUB FRAME IS ROTTED OUT AND DANGEROUS. I WILL HAVE TO GET IT REPLACED. APPARENTLY THIS IS A VERY KNOWN PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS.

BROUGHT MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AT MY INDEPENDENT MECHANIC AND WAS ASKED TO COME IN AND LOOK AT UNDERSIDE OF CAR WHILE IT WAS ON THE LIFT. THERE IS WHEN IT WAS POINTED OUT TO ME THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD A SEVERE RUST CONDITION, I WAS ADVISED THIS COULD BE A SAFETY HAZARD. AFTER I WAS GIVEN A REPAIR ESTIMATE FROM MORE THAN ONE SOURCE, THAT EXCEEDED THE VALUE OF THE CAR, I DECIDED TO TRADE IT IN ANOTHER VEHICLE. I NEVER RECEIVED ANY NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER REGARDING THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.

I RECENTLY CHANGED MY OWN OIL ON THIS VEHICLE. WHEN I WAS UNDERNEATH OF IT I OBSERVED 1 MEDIUM SIZED RUST HOLE THRU THE SUBFRAME AND 2 SMALLER RUST HOLES IN THE SUBFRAME. THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THESE VEHICLES AFTER I FURTHER LOOKED INTO THE ISSUE THAT OTHERS WERE HAVING WITH THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE PICTURES OF THIS ISSUE. THIS IS KNOWN AS CRADLE ROT. THE LOWER MOTOR MOUNT OF THE ENGINE IS BOLTED INTO THIS SUBFRAME. AND IF CONTINUES TO GET WORSE THE ENGINE CAN FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. NOT ONLY I HAVE 3 HOLES IN IT THERE IS A LOT OF RUST ON THIS SUBFRAME THAT LOOKS COULD BE MORE OF AN ISSUE IN THE YEARS TO COME. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND THRU ALL THE YEARS OF BEING UNDER VEHICLES THIS IS BY FAR ONE OF THE WORSE I HAVE EVER SEEN. I DO NOT FEEL...

THE AUTO LIGHTS WENT OUT ON PASSENGER SIDE, WHEN TURNING WHEELS TO THE LEFT IT HAS CRACKING & POPPING NOISE, BRAKES ARE HARD TO STOP, TO MANY RECALLS, UNDER CARRIAGE IS RUSTED

I WAS INFORMED MY ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTING OUT WHEN I WAS THERE FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. I HAD CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY TOLD ME TO GO TO A DEALERSHIP AND HAVE PICS TAKEN. THE GARAGE SUBMITTED THE PICS 10 TIMES BEFORE CHRYSLER RECEIVED THEM. ACCORDING TO CHRYSLER THEY WILL NOT FIX THIS ISSUE AS MY VEHICLE IS TOO OLD. I HAVE A LETTER ISSUED IN NOV 2010 THAT SAID THIS EXACT PROBLEM WAS AN ISSUE AND THAT THEY WERE EXTENDING THE WARRANTY. MY VEHICLE FALLS INTO THE WARRANTY GUIDELINES AND THEY ARE TELLING ME IT DOES NOT COVER MY VIN. THEY HAD MY VIN LONG BEFORE THEY REQUESTED THE PICS, WHY DID I HAVE TO WAIT 2 MONTHS TO HEAR THEY WOULDN'T FIX IT THEN? I AM NOT HAPPY AS THE LETTER CLEARLY STATES "THIS ENGINE CRADLE EXTENDED WARRANTY COVERAGE APPLIES TO CHRYSLER PACIFICA MODEL YEARS 2004-2005." WHY...

ON ROUTINE CHECK BY MY MECHANIC, HE NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD RUSTED SO BADLY THAT HE CAN STICK HIS FIST THROUGH ONE SECTION. CALLED CHRYSLER CORPORATE AND OPENED UP A CASE WITH THEM. THEY TOLD ME TO TAKE IT TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A "DIAGNOSTIC". CALLED CHRYSLER BACK AND TOLD THEM THE PACIFICA WAS AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THEY COULD CALL TO GET THE RESULTS. THEY REFUSED TO SPEAK WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND TOLD ME I WAS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THAT THEY WOULD NOT REPLACE THE DEFECTIVE PART. WHY SEND ME FOR A DIAGNOSTIC THEN?? JUST TO GET MY $125 DOLLARS?? EXTREMELY FRUSTRATED. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP MECHANIC SAID HE WOULD NOT BE DRIVING HIS FAMILY AROUND IN THE CAR IF IT WERE HIS. THIS SEEMS TO BE A RECURRING PROBLEM FROM WHAT I HAVE FOUND ON LINE. PLEASE INVESTIGATE!

I OWN A 2005 PACIFICA LIMITED, I PURCHASED THIS CAR IN 2009 FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER. I HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR BACK TO THE SAME DEALER WHO SOLD ME THE CAR FOR SERVICING (OIL CHANGE, REPAIRS, ECT). NOT ONCE WAS I INFORMED (DURING THE PURCHASE OR ANY TIME DURING SERVICING THE PACIFICA) ABOUT THE ROTTING SUBFRAME. I HAVE ALL OF MY RECORDS SHOWING THE INSPECTION UNDERNEATH WITH NO MENTION OF THE ROTTING/RUSTED SUBFRAME. THIS CAR BELONGS TO MY WIFE AND SHE DRIVES OUR TWO KIDS IN THIS CAR (NOT ANYMORE). AFTER REVIEWING OTHER SIMILAR COMPLAINTS I AM VERY UPSET AND FRUSTRATED WITH THIS WHOLE SITUATION. I HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THIS CAR AND THE WHOLE TIME IT COULD HAVE BEEN FROM THE ROTTING/RUSTED SUBFRAME (THAT WAS NEVER MENTIONED). I HAVE PUT SOOOO MUCH MONEY INTO THE REPAIRS OF THIS CAR AND I FEEL LIKE MOST COULD HAVE BEEN AVOIDED,...

ENTIRE SUBFRAME, ENGINE CRADLE, RIDDLED WITH CORROSION AND RUST. SPOKE WITH CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE LAST YEAR AND WAS TOLD THAT MY PACIFICA WAS BUILT/ ASSEMBLED IN DELAWER THEREFORE MY CAR IS NOT COVERED BY THE RECALL . I FOUND SEVERAL CAR WITH THE SAME ISSUE, MY MECHANIC PLACED THE CAR UP ON THE LIFT AND GOT THE SHOCK OF HIS DAY. THE WHOLE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED AND CORRODED. I COULD PUT MY HAND THROUGH IT, IT WAS SO CORRODED. HE TOLD ME, BASICALLY, THAT I SHOULD GET THE CAR FIXED OR GET RID OF IT I HAD THE CAR FOR ALMOST 3 YEARS AND THE DEALER NEVER REPORTED THE PROBLEM, AND I DON'T BELIEVE I COULD CATCH IT UNLESS I GOT UNDER THE CAR, ADDITIONALLY IT WILL TAKE MORE THE 3 YEAR FOR THE MUCH RUST TO SHOWS

WENT TO GET MY CAR INSPECTED TODAY AND IT FAILED DO TO "SUB FRAME ROT". CHRYSLER ADMITTED THAT THERE WAS FRAME PROBLEMS DURING THESE MODEL YEARS BUT WON'T COVER THE REPAIRS SINCE IT WAS MANUFACTURED ON MAY 10TH VS THE SIX WEEKS BETWEEN FEB AND THE END OF MAR. THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE.

I CONTACTED FCA CHRYSLER AFTER I WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE OF MY 2005 PACIFICA WAS ROTTED THROUGH AND THAT IT WAS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. BROUGHT CAR TO MECHANIC FOR IMMEDIATE REPAIR. CONTACTED FCA AND WAS TOLD THAT EXTENDED WARRANTY APPLIES TO CARS ONLY BUILT BETWEEN FEB. 2004 AND MAR 2004. MY CAR WAS BUILT MAY OF 2004 AND HAS THE SAME PROBLEM. HOW CAN THIS NOT BE RECALLED WHEN THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS MATTER.

ON 6/23/2015 I BROUGHT MY CAR (2005 PACIFICA) FOR A YEARLY INSPECTION, HOWEVER THE CAR DID NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO STRUCTURAL INSUFFICIENCY. THE FRONT SUB FRAME WAS ROTTED (ENGINE MOUNTS TO THIS) INDICATING THERE IS A GREAT RISK OF THE ENGINE FALLING OUT OF THE VEHICLE AS IT IS BEING DRIVEN AND INCREASING THE RISK OF A POTENTIAL ACCIDENT. MY HUSBAND CONTACTED THE DEALER WE PURCHASED THE VECHILE FROM IN MAY 2008 WITH THE INFORMATION I WAS GIVEN AT THE INSPECTION CENTER AND HE WAS TOLD TO CONTACT CHRYSLER DIRECTLY. WHEN HE CONTACTED CHRYSLER THEY TOLD HIM ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF VEHICLES WHERE AFFECTED WHEN THE COMPLETE STEP TO PROVIDE RUST COATING TO THE FRONT SUB FRAME OCCURRED AND THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER WAS NOTIFIED. CHRYSLER CLAIMS THIS DEFECT ONLY AFFECTED CARS MANUFACTURED FROM MARCH 2004-APRIL 2004. ACCORDING TO THE MANUFACTURES TAG ON MY VEHICLE DOOR MY VEHICLE...

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR OIL CHANGE AND SERVICE TECH ASK ME TO COME LOOK AT THE RUSTED ENGINE FRAME CRADLE. YOU COULD LATTERLY PUSH YOUR FINGER THROUGH THE RUSTED FRAME. MY ON LINE INVESTIGATION LED ME TO FIND OUT THAT ALL CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S FROM 2004 TO 2008 HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY COATED AT THE FACTORY, PLUS THE WATER DRAINING FROM AC WAS DRAINED IN THIS SAME AREA. THE END RESULT IS THE ENGINE WILL EVENTUALLY FALL OUT. CHRYSLER DID A RECALL ON NOV. 9TH 2010, BUT THEN RESCINDED THAT TO ONLY INCLUDE VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN FEB. 23RD 2004 AND MARCH 31ST 2004. I HAD MY MECHANIC WELD A PLATE ON SOME OF THE MAJOR HOLES, BUT IT WAS SO RUSTY HE COULD HARDLY FIND ANY GOOD METAL TO WELD TO. I AM TOLD THIS REPAIR IS 4000.00 TO 5000.00 DOLLARS HARDLY SEEMS FAIR ON A CAR THAT IS HOUSED IN...

THE SUBFRAME/ENGINE CRADLE OF MY CAR IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THIS ISSUE CAME UP A FEW YEARS AGO AND CHRYSLER SAID BECAUSE MY CAR WAS BUILT AFTER 2/23/04-3/31/04 IT WAS NOT PART OF THEIR RECALL/EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS KNOWN ISSUE. I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR ANNUAL INSPECTION LAST WEEK (I PERSONALLY PAID FOR THE REPAIRS THE LAST TIME) AND THE SUBFRAME IS RUSTED THROUGH ON THE OTHER SIDE AND ON THE "H" BAR. AGAIN, CHRYSLER SAID THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO AND THAT BECAUSE MY CAR WAS BUILT 8/19/04 (OUTSIDE THE RECALLED VEHICLES) THEY COULD NOT HELP. AT ANY POINT IN TIME MY ENGINE CAN FALL THROUGH THE SUBFRAME. THE STEEL IS PAPER THIN, PEELING, AND TO THE POINT THAT THERE ARE HOLES I CAN PUT MY FIST THROUGH. *TR

WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD BY MECHANIC THAT THE SUB FRAME(ENGINE MOUNT CHASSIS) WAS RUSTED AND WOULD BE DANGEROUS TO CONTINUE TO DRIVE THE CAR. SAID THE SUB FRAME NEEDS TO BE REPLACED VERY SOON. AFTER SOME RESEARCH I HAVE COME TO UNDERSTAND THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MODEL. ALSO SEEMS CHRYSLER IS NOT OWNING UP TO THE LARGE AMOUNT OF VEHICLES WITH THIS PROBLEM. IT SEEMS THE NHTSA IS ALSO GUILTY OF SOME INACTION IN TRYING TO GET CHRYSLER TO RESOLVE THIS PROBLEM. THIS IS CLEARLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT AND THIS SHOULD BE TAKEN CARE OF ON A RECALL FOR THESE VEHICLES. *TR

MY CAR WAS RUNNING GREAT, SUDDENLY ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS ON THE DASH CAME ON- CAR STILL RAN FINE UNTIL I PARKED IT, AND COULDN'T GET IT TO COME OUT OF GEAR. FINALLY WAS ABLE TO PUT IN DRIVE, TOOK IT TO THE DODGE/CHRYSLER/JEEP DEALER AND TOLD THEM THE PROBLEM AND I HAD LOOKED ON LINE AND MANY OTHER VEHICLES LIKE MINE WERE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, SEVERAL SUGGESTED IT TO BE THE STARTER SWITCH EVEN THOUGH IT WOULD BE SUGGESTED IT WAS THE COMPUTER (BCM). DEALER TOLD ME THAT VERY THING, IT WAS THE BCM AND ON TOP OF THAT THEY TELL ME MY ENGINE CRADLE WAS "SEVERELY CRACKED CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO BE UNSAFE TO DRIVE" COST $5298.00 TO FIX. NEEDLESS TO SAY I TRIED TO FIND OUT IF THERE WAS A RECALL- THERE MUST BE, MY CAR IS ONLY 9YRS OLD AND SHOULDN'T BE READY FOR THE...

I'M WRITING IN REGARDS TO CHRYSLER'S RECALL NHTSA # 06V432000 NO.F44 FUEL PUMP / POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE SOFTWARE. MY VEHICLE IS HAVING THE SAME ISSUE AS THE RECALL. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER ON JULY 30 2014. AND WAS TOLD THAT MY VIN WAS NOT APART OF THE RECALL. I TOLD THEM MY VEHICLE IS STALLING AS IM GOING OVER 50MPH MY GAS TANK GOES FROM HALF FULL TO EMPTY AND THE E LIGHT TURNS ON. IF I DON'T RUSH TO THE GAS STATION MY CAR WILL DIE AS IF IT HAD NO FUEL LEFT. MY GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK WHILE DRIVING AND I HAVE TO TAP IT WITH MY FOOT TO UNSTICK IT. I'M A STAY AT HOME MOTHER TO 3 BOYS UNDER THE AGE OF 5 YEARS OLD. I READ ONLINE THE HORROR STORIES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM AND YEAR MAKE MODEL EVERYTHING AND CHRYSLER IS NOT...

OUR 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA SUBFRAME/KFRAME IS RUSTING THROUGH. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND FEEL THERE SHOUL'VE BEEN A RECALL

I HAVE A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND I WAS EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH A "CLICKING NOISE" COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE FRONT END OF MY CAR. UPON INSPECTION BY MY MECHANIC IT BECAME EVIDENT THAT THE "ENGINE CRADLE" WHICH HOLDS UP ENGINE WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED THROUGH WITH ABOUT 80% OF VISIBLE CORROSION (I REALLY WISH I COULD ACTUAL ATTACH PICTURES OF CORROSION PROVIDED TO ME BY MY MECHANIC). UPON FURTHER INVESTIGATION, I DISCOVERED THAT THIS "ENGINE CRADLE" CORROSION PROBLEM HAS BEEN ACKNOWLEDGED BY CHRYSLER AND AN EXTENDED WARRANTY WAS ISSUED TO REPAIR THIS PART FOR 04 AND 05 PACIFICA'S. EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER ID IS: 0004617/#45543/X26...HOWEVER, WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER, I WAS INFORMED THAT BASED ON THE VIN # OF MY CAR, I DID NOT QUALIFY FOR CHRYSLERS EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS ISSUE (10 YRS OR 150,000 MILES) - THE LETTER CHRYSLER ISSUED FOR THIS EXTENDED WARRANTY CLEARLY STATES THAT IT COVERS 2004-2005...

A LETTER WAS SENT TO SOME 2004-2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA OWNERS THAT THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE AND SUSPENSION MOUNT FRAME WARRANTY WAS BEING EXTENDED TO 15 YEARS OR 150,000 MILES TO OWNERS IN STATES THAT USE ROAD SALT BECAUSE OFF CORROSION PROBLEMS. THEY GO ON TO CARELESSLY EXPLAIN THAT IF YOUR ARE NOT EXPERIENCING VIBRATION AND SHAKING YOU NEED TO DO NOTHING-- BY THE TIME ITS THAT BAD ITS ALMOST TO LATE! MINE WAS NOT SHAKING BUT I HAD MY PACIFICA INSPECTED ANY WAY AND FOUND RUST HOLES IN FRONT FRAME, ONE WAS THE SIZE OF MY FIST AND ON THE OTHER SIDE MAY BE THREE OR FOUR FINGERS WIDE. I STOPPED DRIVING THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY AND CALLED THE PHONE # LISTED ON THE NOTIFICATION LETTER TWICE, BOTH TIMES THEY DENIED A PROBLEM BECAUSE IT WAS NOT LISTED AS A RECALL ON THEIR WEB SITE AND BESIDES MY VEHICLE DID NOT...

THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN REVERSE. THE PEDAL HAS TO BE PUSHED DOWN WITH EXCESSIVE FORCE IN ORDER FOR IT TO RELEASE, CAUSING A FORCEFUL REACTION.

BRAKE PEDAL FELL AWAY FROM MY FOOT AND ABS LIGHT CAME ON WHILE BRAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS. LIGHT WENT OFF, BUT CAME ON AGAIN LATER. DAYS LATER, MORE BRAKE FAILURES THAT MADE STOPPING DIFFICULT. *TR

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THROTTLE REQUIRES EXCESSIVE FORCE TO DEPRESS CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO LURCH FORWARD WHEN THE THROTTLE FINALLY MOVES. WE REPORTED THE ISSUE TO OUR DEALER APPROXIMATELY 18 MONTHS AGO. THEY SEEMED TO HAVE PRIOR KNOWLEDGE OF THE ISSUE AND REPAIRED IT WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR REPAIRS AFTER STRIKING A DOG (UNRELEATED TO THE DEFECT). NOW THE ISSUE HAS RETURNED AND WHEN MY WIFE CALLED TO SCHEDULE SERVICE TO HAVE THE ISSUE REPAIRED AGAIN THE DEALERSHIP WOULDN'T SCHEDULE A TIME TO REPAIR THE DEFECT AND ACTUALLY ACTED AS IF THEY WEREN'T AWARE OF THE ISSUE AND WOULD NEED SEVERAL HOURS TO TROUBLESHOOT THE ISSUE PRIOR TO REPAIRING IT. I RESEARCHED THE ISSUE ONLINE AND EVIDENTLY THIS IS AN ISSUE WITH THE THROTTLE BODY ASSEMBLY WHICH TYPICALLY TAKES AN HOUR OF LABOR TIME TO TREAT THE SYMPTOM WHICH EVENTUALLY RETURNS. IT ALSO SEEMS TO BE A COMMON ISSUE...

I WAS DRIVING ME CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND NOTICED A SMELL OF FUMES AND WHEN I STOPPED FOR A LIGHT AND PROCEEDED THE CAR MADE A RUMBLING NOISE AS IF I WAS GOING OVER GRATING WHICH I WASN'T. THEN I NOTICED S,OKE COMIN OUT OF THE HOOD. I AT FIRST THOUGHT IT WAS OVERHEATING BUT MY TEMPERATURE GAUGE WAS NOT ON HOT. I WENT TO A GAS STATION AND THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY A LITTLE OIL SPILLED AND THAT WAS IT. IT HAD STOPPED. I WENT TO MY DESTINATION, TURNED CAR OFF AND CAME BACK 5 MINUTED LATER AND CAR STARTED UP FINE. PROCEEDED BACK ON HIGHWAY AND AGAIN SMELLED FUMES. SUDDENLY CAR JUST CEASES ON HIGHWAY. THANK GOD I HAD MY EMERGENCY LIGHTS ON AND I WAS IN THE RIGTH LANE GOING VERY SLOW. I PULLED OVER AT WHICH TIME SMOKE WAS BILLOWING OUT OF THE HOOD AND FIRE...

I PURCHASED A 2005 PACIFICA TOURING WITH AWD IN THE SUMMER OF 2006. THREE TIMES MY CAR HAS HAD DIFFICULTIES WHEN THERE WAS A DUSTING OF SNOW BLOWING OVER THE ROAD. THE 1ST INCIDENT WAS ON JAN. 24 2007, THE FRONT END OF MY VEHICLE STARTED TO LOSE CONTROL AND FINALLY I WENT INTO A SPIN. I WAS IN THE LEFT LANE OF A 2 LANE ROAD HEADING SOUTH. MY CAR SPUN IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE IN THE RIGHT LANE, THROUGH THE DITCH, AND FINALLY ENDED UP IN THE TREES ON THE OTHER SIDE OF THE DITCH. I SUFFERED ONLY MINOR INJURIES-NECK SPRAIN, BUT I TOOK OUT A HIGHWAY SIGN AND A TREE. DAMAGES TO MY CAR TOTALED OVER $11,000, I GOT IT BACK FROM THE BODY SHOP 1 MONTH AFTER THE ACCIDENT. THE 2ND TIME I WAS BY MYSELF, THE 3RD TIME I HAD MY 1 YEAR OLD...

A SMALL PIECE OF ROAD DEBRIS ( 1X4 BOARD) CONTACTED THE UNDERSIDE OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA PUNCTURING THE FUEL TANK. THE TANKS IS HUNG LOWER THAN THE SURROUNDING CHASSIS COMPONENTS AND DOES NOT HAVE ANY TYPE OF SHIELD OR SKID PLATE, LEAVING IT RATHER VULNERABLE TO DAMAGE FROM ROAD DEBRIS. FURTHERMORE THE TANKS IS LOCATED CLOSE TO THE EXHAUST AND CATALYTIC CONVERTER. COST TO REPLACE THE TANK WAS IN EXCESS OF $1000.00. THE LOCAL CHRYSLER DEALER FELT THERE WAS NO PROBLEM WITH THE DESIGN AND THAT THERE IS NO FIX AVAILABLE TO PREVENT THIS FROM RE-OCCURRING. FURTHERMORE THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP HAD NO KNOWLEDGE ON ANY REPORTING SYSTEM WITHIN DAIMLER CHRYSLER TO WHOM WE COULD REPORT OUR CONCERNS. *JB

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING. HAVE HAD THE CAR 4 MONTHS. THIS IS OUR THIRD CD/DVD PLAYER. WE HAVE HAD MUSIC CDS BECOME JAMMED TWO TIMES AND THE DEALER HAS HAD TO REPLACE THE UNITS. CURRENTLY NOT USING THE PLAYER FOR MUSIC OR DVDS, TRYING TO AVOID THE PAIN OF DEALING WITH THE DEALERSHIP.
