I BOUGHT THE CAR AND 2 MONTHS LATER WHEN I WENT TO CHANGE THE OIL I NOTICED ABOUT HALD MY ENGINE CRADLE GONE DUE TO RUST

I BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE UNDER THE IMPRESSION IT NEEDED A MOTOR MOUNT TO FIND OUT THAT THE SUB FRAME IS ROTTEN TO THE POINT IT'S A SAFETY ISSUE TO DRIVE. THE REST OF THE DETAILS MAY NOT BE OF INTEREST TO YOU BUT I AM THE SURVIVING SPOUSE OF A DECEASED VETERAN AND MOTHER OF HIS TWO CHILDREN. I'VE BEEN STRUGGLING TO RECUPERATE SINCE THEIR FATHER'S DEATH AND HEAVEN UNABLE TO DO TO THE PANDEMIC THAT'S WHAT I WAS ABOUT TO MY DAILY DRIVERS ENGINE SEIZED AND I EXHAUSTED ALL MY RESOURCES BUYING THIS VEHICLE THAT IS NOW DEEMED UNSAFE ANY HELP YOU CAN GIVE ME WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED

I TOOK MY CAR IN TODAY TO HAVE SHOCKS PUT ON AND WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS SO SEVERELY RUSTED THE RACK AND PINION WAS ABOUT TO DROP OUT OF THE CAR ALONG WITH THE MOTOR. I DRIVE ON THE HIGHWAY EVERYDAY AND THIS WOULD HAVE BROKE IN THE NEXT WEEK OR SO AND I WOULD PROBABLY BE SEVERELY INJURED OR WORSE.

ENTERED FREEWAY BATTERY LIGHT CAME ON AND LOST POWER. STARTING EXITING FREEWAY THEN CAR EXCELERATING ON ITS OWN. ENGINE WAS REVING AND HUMMING SO MUCH I THOUGHT THE ENGINE WOULD CATCH ON FIRE. CAR WOULD NOT SLOW DOWN. I HAD TO PUT IT IN NEUTRUAL AND HIT THE BRAKES AS I EXIT THE FREEWAY TO SAFELY PARKED. CALLED TOW TRUCK FOR SERVICE.

BOUGHT CAR 2018 FEB . NO MENTION OF WHOLE UNDER CARRIAGE RUSTED OUT - 2004-2008 CHRYSLER FORGOT TO SPRAY FOR RUST. WHEN WE GO WE BOUGHT IT LATER IN EVENING - WAS ASSURED THAT CAR HAD BEEN CHECKED OUT AND SOUND. WE HAVE DONE SOME REPAIRS ON OTHER THINGS - THERMOSTAT , RADIATOR , TIRES ABS SENSOR ISSUE BUT THERE WAS NO MENTION OF UNDERSIDE BEING RUSTED FROM FRONT TO BACK - TWO YEARS AND THE ENGINE IS GOING TO FALL OUT AND CAN NO LONGER DRIVE THE CAR. THIS CAR WAS SUBMERGED IN WATER SOMEWHERE BEFORE WE RECEIVED. THIS IS THE SHORTER VERSION OF THIS SITUATION. ALIGNMENT IS NOW WAY OFF , PULLS TO ONE SIDE OUT OF NOWHERE. WEARING ON TIRES- JUST TOOK IT INTO HEARTLAND TIRE BY HOUSE AND TOLD DO NOT DRIVE AND THAT FIXING IT WOULD BE OVER 3500 OR MORE.

AS IT WOULD SEEM IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM, THE OIL PRESSURE SENDING UNIT HAS FAILED AND LEAKS OIL ON AND INTO THE HARNESS PLUG.

THE ENGINE CRADLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND MOTOR MOUNTS AS WELL.I TOOK INTO A SHOP,HE REFUSED TO FIX MY IDLE PULLEY AND TOLD US IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE OUR 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA.

YEAR2006 MAKE/MODELCHRYSLER PACIFICA MILEAGEABOUT 99,000 DRIVING FOR 13+ YEARS; HAD BEEN GETTING CHECK ENGINE AND ABS SIGNS ON DASHBOARD NOW AND THEN FOR ABOUT 6 YEARS; IN HUMID DAYS RECURRENCES WERE MORE THAN IN COLDS. VA INSPECTION, BOTH EMISSION AND SAFETY, PASSED EVERY YEAR, LAST ONE BEING IN JULY 2019, WITHOUT ANY ISSUE. SINCE LATE JULY ABS SIGN CEASED TO APPEAR ANY MORE, AND CHECK ENGINE LIGHT IS APPEARING STEADILY. IN DIAGNOSTICS P0700, P0732 AND P0720 CODES WERE RETURNED. NOW A DAYS, WHEN I COME TO A STOP/RED LIGHT, ON FULL BRAKE, ENGINE MAKES A JERK, AND SPEEDOMETER READING JUMPS FROM 0 TO 20 MPH. ALSO, BREAK PEDAL EXPERIENCES A PUSH-BACK, CAUSING TENDENCY TO DRIVE FORWARD. OVER 30 MPH GAS PEDAL DEMANDS MORE COMPRESSION, AND ENGINE MOTION ROARING ALSO SURGES, NO RATTLING. WHAT KIND OF RISK I AM CARRYING IN DRIVING THE VEHICLE, WHAT ARE MY OPTIONS, COST FOR REMEDY...

I ALWAYS GOT MY PACIFICA CHECKED AND THE OIL CHANGED ON A REGULAR BASIS AT THE SAME DEALERSHIP. THE LAST TIME I GOT AN OIL CHANGE, THEY ASKED ME TO COME OUT TO LOOK AT THE UNDERCARRIAGE OF MY VEHICLE. THEY SHOWED ME WHERE MY "ENGINE CRADLE" WAS SO RUSTED, THE ENGINE WAS READY TO FALL OUT. I WAS MORTIFIED, BECAUSE I DRIVE ON THE INTERSTATE EVERY DAY. CHRYSLER QUOTED ME A PRICE OF $4000. I DID NOT HAVE THAT KIND OF MONEY. THEY DETERMINED THE CAR AS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WENT HOME AND LOOKED ON THE INTERNET AND FOUND THAT THERE WERE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE LIKE ME WITH THE SAME COMPLAINT. CHRYSLER KNEW OF THIS ENGINE CRADLE RUST PROBLEM AND DID NOTHING ABOUT IT. I CALLED THE CORPORATE OFFICE OF CHRYSLER, AND ALL I GOT WAS THE RUN AROUND. THIS WAS VERY DANGEROUS, MY ENGINE COULD HAVE FALLEN...

I HAVE FAILED MOTOR MOUNTS AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD MAKE A REPORT AS IT IS SUCH A COMMON ISSUE THAT A RECALL SHOULD BE ISSUED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 65 MPH, THE CONTACT EXPERIENCED SUDDEN ENGINE FAILURE WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO THE CONTACT'S HOME. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE AND WAS INFORMED THAT SHE SHOULD HAVE THE VEHICLE TOWED TO A CHRYSLER DEALER. FRED MARTIN SUPERSTORE (3195 BARBER RD, BARBERTON, OH 44203, (330) 753-4444) DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE ROD BEARING WAS DEFECTIVE.

ENGINE CRADLE MOUNT (SEVERLY RUSTED THROUGH). IT IS SO BAD, I CAN NO LONGER SAFELY DRIVE THIS CAR.

CAR ENGINE SOMETIMES SHUTS OFF WHEN DOING LEFT HAND TURNS, THE ENGINE LOOSES COMPLETE POWER WHEN THIS HAPPENS. I HAVE TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK TO TURN IT BACK ON. THERE ARE EVAP CODES ON BUT THE CHECK ENGINE DOES NOT TURN ON FOR THESE CODES, SMELL OF UN-BURNT FUEL SOMETIMES MAKES IT IN THE CABIN. THANKFULLY THE STALL HAS NOT HAPPENED WITH CARS COMING TOWARDS ME. THE GAS CAP WARNING ON CONTINUOUSLY EVEN THOUGH I HAVE PURCHASED MANY NEW OEM GAS CAPS. THIS MAY BE RELATED TO: NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 04V113000, 06V432000, NHTSA ACTION NUMBER: EA06013, I INFORMED CHRYSLER BUT THEY SAID MY VIN IS NOT IN THE CURRENT RECALLS AND WAS REFERRED TO CONTACT NHTSA. MY PACIFICA HAS ALSO DEVELOPED A TICKING NOISE THAT HAS REDUCED THE GAS MILEAGE AND ENGINE POWER WHICH I BELIEVE THIS TO BE PART OF AN INTERNAL RECALL WHICH AGAIN CHRYSLER SAYS...

I HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT MY ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED BEYOND REPAIR AND WILL NEED REPLACING. CHRYSLER RECALLED 2004-2005 IN RUST BELT AREAS TO REPLACE ENGINE CRADLE. THIS ISSUE AFFECTS 2004-2008 WHICH MY CAR IS A PART OF. THIS RUST ISSUE COULD CAUSE THE MOTOR TO FALL OUT FROM THE ENGINE CRADLE AND CAUSE SERIOUS SAFETY RISK

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC NOTICED THAT THERE WAS EXTENSIVE RUST AND CORROSION TO THE POINT THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE COULD FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED BY A DEALER. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 94,000.

THE FRONT SUBFRAME IS RUSTED THREW WITH A FIST SIZE WHOLE .. NOW I HAVE TO PAY LABOR AND BUY PIECE CHRYSLER REFUSES TO HELP KNOWNING THE ISSUE THEY CAUSE COULD HURT MY FAMILY AN KIDS DRIVING IN THIS TRUCK IS UNFAR

THE CAR STALLS WHILE IN MOTION ON AN INCLINE, MAKING A LEFT OR RIGHT TURNS UP AN INCLINE, AND MAKING U-TURNS ON FLAT SURFACE. THE ENGINE WOULD JUST DIE, THEN I WOULD HAVE TO PUT IT IN PARK AND IT WOULD RESTART. THIS HAPPENED IN CITY STREETS IN SPEEDS UNDER 25MPH. THIS HAS HAPPENED OVER A DOZEN TIMES, 3 TIMES THIS MONTH. MECHANIC CANNOT FIX THE PROBLEM.

WGEN I PUT THE GAS PEDAL NO RUNING LIKE ASPEC AND TGE CRUDLE IS RUST

THE CRADLE BREAK AND RUST AND TBE POWER TRAIN. NO WORK PROPERRY

TOOK VEHICLE IN FOR EXHAUST REPAIR. WHEN HOISTED UP THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME OF ENGINE CRADLE ROT. HE SAID THE DRIP HOSE IS DRIPPING ONTO THE ENGINE CRADLE. CALLED CHRYSLER CUSTOME ASSISTANCE, THEY SENT ME TO ROSEVILLE CHRYSLER IN ROSEVILLE, MI FOR INSPECTION, UNDER CASE #32879012. SERVICE ADVISOR BRYAN COLLINS TOLD ME THE SAME THING ENGINE CRADLE ROT DUE TO DRIP HOSE DRIPPING ON ENGINE CRADLE. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE SAID NO RECALL ON VEHILCLE AND IT IS OUT OF WARRENTY. MY RESPONSIBILITY FOR REPAIR. I EXPLAINED THAT IT WAS AN ENGINERING DESIGN ERROR AND THE DRIP HOSE SHOULD HAVE BEEN LONG ENOUGH TO ROUTE IT PAST THE ENGINE CRADLE.

THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTING OUT DUE TO CHRYSLERS INABILITY TO WANT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. MIGHT HAVE TO SEND THE CAR TO THE JUNKYARD

MOTOR MOUNTS ARE BROKE

TOOK CAR IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE. TECH CAME BACK AND SAID THAT THE ENGINE IS ABOUT READY TO FALL THROUGH DUE TO THE FRAME AND ENGINE CRADLE RUSTING THROUGH.

THE CROSS MEMBER THAT SUPPORTS THE DRIVE TRAIN IS RUSTED AT THE JOINTS WHERE IT MEETS THE FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THIS AFFECTS BOTH STEERING AND SHIFTING, AS THE MOTOR WILL ACTUALLY SHIFT ON INITIAL PULL OFF; AND BECAUSE THE STEERING IS ANCHORED ON THE SAME MEMBER, LOOSENESS IN THE STEERING WHEEL CAN ALSO BE FELT. I NOTICED THE RUSTING ABOUT A YEAR AGO WHEN I WENT TO DO MY FIRST OIL CHANGE AS THE CAR OWNER. ON 9/12/2017 I WAS RIDING HOME AND HEARD A METALLIC CLANK, AS IF SOMETHING HAD FALLEN OFF OF THE VEHICLE. UPON ARRIVING AT HOME, I LOOKED UNDER THE VEHICLE. YOU CAN SEE THAT THE CROSS MEMBER IS RUSTING AND TWISTING UNDER THE LOAD OF THE ENGINE. I AM LEARY ABOUT DRIVING THE VEHICLE, BUT IT IS MY ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION.

FRAME ROTTED OUT UNDER ENGINE, GARAGE SAID ENGINE COULD FALL OUT. THIS HAPPENED SEVERAL YEARS AGO JUST TOOK IT IN FOR AN ALIGNMENT AND THEY TOLD ME THE CAR WASN'T SAFE TO DRIVE.

SUB FRAME RUSTED

I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE A MONTH AGO AND I ALREADY HAVE ENGINE CRADLE CORROSION I WAS TOLD THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND WAS TOLD IT CAN SNAP AT ANY MINUTE WHICH CAN CAUSE FATALITIES OR SERIOUS INJURIES. I WAS ALSO TOLD MY VEHICLE HAS NO RESALE VALUE BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE. I WAS DRIVING ON CITY EXPRESSWAY AND STREETS AND NOTICED IT SOUNDED FUNNY DRIVING TOOK IT IN TO GET LOOKED AT AND THE MECHANIC EXPLAINED THE ISSUE WAS SERIOUS

2006 PACIFICA WITH 105,000 MILES. TOOK IN FOR SERVICE AND MECHANIC FOUND BADLY CORRODED ENGINE CRADLE. I CAN PEEL THE RUST AWAY AND PUT MY FINGERS IN THE HOLES AND GAPS IN THE CENTER SUPPORT TIE IN. IN ADDITION TO STRESS CRACKS IN THE LH SIDE OF THE ENGINE SUPPORT. DEALER TOLD ME NO WARRANTY COVERAGE, NO RECALL. CANT AFFORD REPAIR AND CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. FRAME RUSTED OUT AFTER ONLY 11 YEARS OLD!! WHAT HAPPENED TO "MADE IN AMERICA" STOOD FOR QUALITY AND BEING A GOOD THING.

CAR BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD, ABRUPT KNOCKING NOISE FROM RIGHT SIDE, PASSENGER FRONT OF VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THREE SEPARATE REPAIR SHOPS FOR EVALUATION AND AT ALL THREE REPAIRS SHOPS WERE TOLD THAT OUR ENGINE CRADLE WAS SO BADLY ROTTED AND RUSTED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. IT WAS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CAN BOTH DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY MOMENT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE TO CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT ASSISTING CURRENT OWNERS WITH REPAIR.

ENGINE MOUNT/CRADLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH. THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE 100,000 MILES YET. THIS ISSUE PROBABLY STARTED YEARS AGO AND NO MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER ISN'T COVERING 2006 MODELS EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR WAS DANGEROUS, BUT THIS IS A VERY COSTLY FIX - MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH - CONSIDERING CHRYSLER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT COATING THE ENGINE CRADLE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. IT IS AFFECTING STEERING AND HANDLING OF CAR AS WELL.

THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED OUT MAKING THIS CAR EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE AND IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE OTHERWISE. HOWEVER, THE COST TO REPLACE THE CRADLE HAS BEEN QUOTED AT $2500.00.

I HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY IN CAR AND I COULD OF WRECKED IF I DIDN'T NOTICE IN TIME TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT SOME HOW BEFORE WE GOT REAR ENDED.

INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION GARAGE KEPT ALL OF ITS LIFE UNLESS DRIVING, NO SURFACE RUST,ETC ETC. BASICALLY A GREAT CAR. I WENT TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME BY THE WAY THERE IS A BIG RUT HOLE IN THE SUB FRAME AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE THAT LOOKED AT. HE ALSO STATED IT LOOKS STRANGE BECAUSE THE REST OF THE CAR IS IN SUCH GREAT SHAPE. I HAD NEW STRUTS AND TIE ROD INSTALLED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO SO I TOOK IT IN THERE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT NEXT.
