2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA Engine Problems

TODAY I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE OF MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WAS RUSTED OUT AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. ONLINE CHRYSLER SAYS THEY ONLY ARE COVERING THE 2004 AND 2005 YEARS. I BELIEVE THIS IS A EXTREME SAFETY PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS OVERLOOKING. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 123,000.

WENT FOR ANNUAL NY STATE INSPECTION, THAT GOT A CALL FROM MECHANIC TO SEE UNDER THE CAR. FRONT ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED WITH HOLES AND METAL PEELING OFF ON THE TOUCH. CAR DID NOT PASS INSPECTION AND ENGINE CRADLE HAS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.I WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER SINCE THEY HAVE SEEN MANY PACIFICA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. AFTER TALKING TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THEY ARE SORRY THAT THEY CAN NOT HELP SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL BUT JUST FOR LIMITED NUMBER OF CARS MANUFACTURED IN 2004, SINCE MY CAR IS NEWER IT IS NOT COVERED IN THAT RECALL. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 60 MPH, THE ENGINE LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN); HOWEVER, THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 48,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE STOPPED AT A TRAFFIC LIGHT, THERE WAS AN SUDDEN INCREASE IN ENGINE RPMS AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO SHAKE VIOLENTLY. ALSO, THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT WAS ABLE TO MERGE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER OR DIAGNOSED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 61,000.

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

LIKE OTHER EARLY MODEL CHRYSLER PACIFICAS NOTED ON THE NHTSA SITE- MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP INFORMED ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE ENGINE CRADLE/ SUBFRAME BEING RUSTED/ROTTED OUT SO BADLY YOU COULD SEE THROUGH IT. THEY SAID THAT IF A LARGE ENOUGH BUMP WAS ROLLED OVER, THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT AND A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR AS THE VEHICLE WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY LOSE CONTROL. I AM NOW AFRAID TO ALLOW MY WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN TO DRIVE IN IT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FOR ROUGHLY $10,000 LESS THAN A YEAR PRIOR TO LEARNING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE FROM A CHRYSLER USED AND NEW CAR DEALER-BRYDEN MOTORS IN BELOIT, WI. I ALSO PURCHASED AN $2000 EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH OF COURSE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS NOT COVERED IN...

RUSTED ENGINE CRADLE $3000 REPAIR TOLD HOW DANGEROUS IT IS FOR MY FAMILY TO BE IN THIS CAR. I JUST BOUGHT CAR FOR MY FAMILY. IM A SINGLE PARENT LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK AND NOW IM SUPPOSED TO FIX THIS PIECE OF [XXX] CHRYSLER BUILT? *TR INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

THE ENGINE FRAME CRADLE IS ROTTING OUT. THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COULD POTENTIALLY FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY STATED THAT IF IT WAS A 2004/05 THEY WOULD COVER THE REPAIRS BUT NOT A 2006. THIS ISSUE APPEARS TO BE A COMMON. *TR

WHILE I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD MY CAR STALLED AND THEN CUT OFF IN THE MIDDLE OF THE ROAD. MY CAR STARTED BACK UP RIGHT AWAY BUT AS I CONTINUE TO DRIVE HOME IT CONTINUED TO STALL AND SHUT OFF. THANK GOD THERE WAS NOT VERY MANY CARS ON THE ROAD BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD HAVE GOTTEN SERIOUSLY HURT. MY CAR HAS BEEN DOWN SINCE APRIL 2014 AND IT IS NOW SEPTEMBER 2014. MY HUSBAND AND I HAVE PUT SO MUCH MONEY INTO THIS CAR BECAUSE THE MECHANICS CAN'T FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM. WE HAVE HAD REPLACED THE EGR VALVE, O2 CENSORS, THROTTLE POSITION SENSORS, IDLE AIR CONTROL VALVE, AND A TUNE UP AND MY CAR STILL RUNS THE SAME, LIKE CRAP. THE COMPUTER IS NOT DIAGNOSING THE CAR PROPERLY AND NEITHER ARE THE MECHANICS. *TR

CAR HAS ROTTEN SUB FRAME THAT CRADLES ENGINE SUSPENSION! IN LOOKING AT CHRYSLER COMPLAINTS THIS APPEARS TO BE PREVALENT IN ALL THE SUB FRAMES. MY MECHANIC HAS WELDED IN METAL IN PLACE OF ROT. THIS SUB FRAME IS RESPONSIBLE FOR SUSPENSION OF THE FRONT END AND CRADLES ENGINE MOUNTS. THERE IS NO WAY A CAR DESIGN SHOULD ALLOW FOR FAILURE OF SUCH A CRITICAL JOB AFTER 89000 MILES AND 8 YEARS. THESE CARS NEED TO BE RECALLED AND OR REMOVED FROM THE ROAD BEFORE THERE ARE UNNECESSARY DEATHS. *TR

MOTOR MOUNTS REPLACED, TIE RODS REPLACED, CONTROL ARMS REPLACED ALL DONE IN THE LAST MONTH !! WHY DOESN'T CHRYSLER HAVE A RECALL OUT ON THIS ISSUES SINCE IT'S KNOWN FOR IT! OH DID I MENTION THE GAS PEDAL GETS STUCK ALL THE TIME! OTHER THING IS MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT KEEPS COMING ON AND OFF...IT'S BEEN DIAGNOSED AS THE FUEL PUMP....REALLY AT THIS POINT I'M TIRED OF PUTTING MONEY INTO THE CAR. *TR

I TOOK MY 2006 PACIFICA IN TO A DEALER ON 7/18/2014 TO HAVE A NOISE COMING FROM THE FRONT END INSPECTED. THE DEALER TOLD ME THAT THE TIE ROD BUSHINGS HAD FAILED FOR A SECOND TIME IN ABOUT A YEAR. THEN HE TOLD ME THAT PART OF THE PROBLEM WAS THAT THE SUB FRAME WAS RUSTING AND CRACKING TO THE POINT THAT THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION COULD FALL OUT. I FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER HAD A RECALL FOR 2004 AND 2005 PACIFICAS WITH THE SAME ISSUE BUT WOULD NOT COVER IT FOR ANY OTHER YEARS. THE FACT THAT THEY KNOW THEY HAD A PROBLEM COUPLED WITH THE NUMBER OF ISSUES THAT I HAVE SEEN ONLINE, I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY THEY WOULDN'T COVER THIS FAILURE ON ALL MODEL YEARS. WHY HASN'T THIS BEEN RECALLED? THIS WILL BE THE LAST CHRYSLER THAT I WILL EVER BUY. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WOULD NOT START. THE FAILURE WAS RECURRING. THE BATTERY WAS REPLACED OVER SIX TIMES BUT TO NO AVAIL. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER, WHO DIAGNOSED AND REPLACED THE COMPUTER AND THE ENGINE. ADDITIONALLY, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR, ABS BRAKE SENSOR AND THE SERVICE ENGINE SENSOR ILLUMINATED AFTER THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT HAD EXPERIENCED MULTIPLE ELECTRICAL FAILURES AND THE AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WAS ILLUMINATED. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO REPLICATE OR DIAGNOSE THE FAILURE. THE DEALER ADVISED THE CONTACT TO REMOVE ALL KEYS FROM THE KEY RING EXCEPT FOR THE FOB AND KEYS. THE DEALER ALSO REPLACED THE IGNITION SWITCH. THE AIR BAG SENSOR CONTINUED TO ILLUMINATE AND THE LOCAL AUTHORIZED DEALER WAS NOTIFIED SEVERAL...

MY 2006 PACIFICA WAS JUST FOUND TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT ENGINE CRADLE RUST/CORROSION ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM JUST SURFACED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. IT IS CLEAR THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT APPROPRIATELY HANDLING THE ISSUE SINCE THEY ARE NOT COVERING THE REPAIR AND THERE APPEARS TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ADDRESSING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE AT TIME OF FAILURE WAS 97,000. UPDATED 8/22/14*CN

WE HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN 2008. THE CAR STALLS WHEN TURNING LIKE THE 2004-2005 MODELS THAT HAD A RECALL F44. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AT 800 992 1997AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR DURING THE INITIAL RECALL. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TOLD US TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT IS COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN WE LEARNED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS CORRODING ANOTHER RECALL X26. THE DEALER TOLD US IT WOULD COST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR. ADDITIONALLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE NEED TWO NEW FUEL PUMPS AND THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE F44 RECALL BECAUSE OUR 2006 CAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE 2004 - 2005 MODEL YEAR RECALL TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMPS. WE PAID THE...

DURING ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, SIGNIFICANT RUST-THROUGH WAS DISCOVERED ON ENGINE CRADLE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED ALL ITS LIFE AND ONLY HAS 51,000 MILES. I SEE THROUGH INVESTIGATION THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 2004 AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO HELP FROM CHRYSLER FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. WELL MY DAYS OF BEING A "CHRYSLER AND DODGE MAN" ARE OVER! *TR

RUST ISSUE ON FRONT ENGINE CRADLE I AM FROM SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV RESIDENT AND RECENTLY DISCOVERED THROUGH MY DEALERS MECHANIC THAT I HAD A BADLY CORRODED ENGINE CRADLE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT JUST TURNED 100K MILES. DEALER DENIED THE RECALL, THERE IS A SMALL WINDOW OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN FEB.23, 2004 AND MARCH 31,2004, A PRETTY SMALL WINDOW. A COUPLE OF CALLS TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE HAS FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER ARE NOT BUDGING. IT IS NOT THE MONEY, IT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT FULLY STANDING BEHIND. FOR REFERENCE, THE CHRYSLER WARRANTY BULLETIN IS NO:D-10-34 DATED MARCH 16, 2012. SUBJECT IS LISTED AS (X26) FRONT ENGINE CRADLE EXTENDED WARRANTY 2004-2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S. WE HAVE A 2006 AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THE MODELS AFFECTED! I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM AND FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, A MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS SEVERE RUST (50%) TO THE SUPPORT SYSTEM HOLDING UP THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILES. HE SAID THAT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, THAT, IF NOT REPAIRED, WOULD EVENTUALLY BREAK WAY AND THE ENGINE WOULD DROP OUT OF THE SUPPORT SYSTEM. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CARE, THE INTAKE OPERATOR BASICALLY READ FROM A SCRIPT AND STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PART WAS AFFECTED, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST ME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND OVER 700 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS THE THIRD CHRYSLER THAT I HAVE OWNED (AND MY SECOND PACIFICA) WITH 100% SATISFACTION UNTIL THIS POINT. UNLESS CHRYSLER DEALS WITH THIS ISSUE TO MY SATISFACTION AND MY SAFETY IS THEY...

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. IN ADDITION, THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE FAILED TO START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE ECM WAS REPLACED BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 82,000.

I HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED IN 2012; THE NEXT MONTH THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. TEN MONTHS LATER, THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS INSIGNIFICANT, THAT THE BRAKES ARE FINE. IN THE FALL OF 2013, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP BECAUSE IT TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES. I SPENT OVER $800.00 HAVING A BUNCH OF CODES CLEARED WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER THINGS. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF FOR A FEW DAYS BUT CAME BACK ON. THERE WAS AN ERROR THAT READ GAS CAP. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. IN MARCH 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CALIBERS BUT LATER WAS TOLD THAT I DIDN'T. I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TO CHECK AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED NEW...

I JUST GOT MY 06 PACIFICA LAST MARCH WITH 87000 I WENT TO GET IT INSPECTED AND IT FAILED EMISSIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE IS SEVERELY ROTTED TO THE POINT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST REPLACED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT SO THAT'S TWO CONVERTERS IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THEN MY ENGINE CRADLE IS SO ROTTED THAT THERE'S A HUGE HOLE IN IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE IS ONLY A RECALL ON 2004-2005 BUT YET ALL THERE OTHER CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY WON'T HELP! NOW HERE I AM A YEAR INTO OWNING THIS CAR STILL OWE 6000$ FOR MY LOAN AND MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN BECAUSE CHRYSLER FAILS TO WANT TO HELP THERE CUSTOMERS AND BACK THERE PRODUCTS UP. CHRYSLER...

AS I HAD MY CAR SERVICED THE MECHANIC TOLD ME MY ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTING OUT. *TR

TWICE MY CAR HAS FROZE UP (CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS IN SLOW, STIFF MOTION) WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN GOING ABOUT;1ST TIME 20MPH AND 2ND TIME OF ISSUE 30MPH. THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON WITH THE DING SOUND TO ALERT YOU AND THEN IT WOULD FREEZE UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND LUCKILY IN BOTH INCIDENTS I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER AND OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I WOULD PUT THAT CAR IN TO PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAS TESTED THE CAR BUT CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. AND IN BOTH INCIDENTS I HAD MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT LETTER. ALSO ANOTHER ISSUES IS...

THERE ARE HOLES AND RUST ALL OVER THE ENGINE CRADLE. I SEE THAT THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS HAVE RECALLS ON THEM AND WAS WONDERING HOW TO START ACTION ON THIS FOR 2006 MODELS. *TR

WE HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ISSUES WITH THIS VEHICLE SINCE WE PURCHASED IT. FIRST ISSUE WAS THE CV BOOTS THAT HAD COMPLETELY DISINTEGRATED. THIS OCCURRED 62,123 MILES. NEXT ISSUE THAT IS STILL OCCURRING TODAY AND DEEPLY CONCERNS ME IS THAT THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL STICKS FROM TIME TO TIME. NOT SURE WHAT CAUSES THAT TO HAPPEN BUT IT SCARES THE LIVING DAY LIGHTS OUT OF ME ON A WEEKLY BASIS. SHORTLY AFTER THAT THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON AND THE PANEL READ GASCAP. WELL WE BOUGHT A NEW GAS CAP AND THE ISSUE WAS NOT RESOLVED. SINCE THEN WE WERE TOLD IT WAS THE FUEL PUMP THAT NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. AGAIN, MORE MONEY OUT OF OUR POCKET SO UNFORTUNATELY WE HAVE NOT HAD THE REPAIR DONE SINCE WE DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR IT. NEXT AND BIGGEST ISSUE OFF ALL IS THAT WHILE DRIVING DOWN OUR STREET I...

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND ENGAGING THE TRANSMISSION INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE ENGINE FAILED. I THEN TURNED OFF THE IGNITION AND RETURNED THE VEHICLE TO THE PARK POSITION. AT THIS POINT I DECIDED TO TRY IT AGAIN, ONLY THIS TIME WITHOUT THE AC AND STEREO ON. THE VEHICLE STARTED RIGHT UP JUST FINE AND I LET IT IDLE FOR ABOUT 1-1.5 MINUTES TO LET THE IDLE STABILIZE. (IT WAS NOT REAL STABLE). I THEN PUT THE TRANSMISSION BACK INTO REVERSE AND BACKED UP MAYBE 2 FT AND THE ENGINE FAILED AGAIN.(NOW I AM IN THE ROAD) I REPEATED MY SECOND ATTEMPT AND LET IT IDLE 2-3 MINUTES, PUT IT INTO REVERSE AND IT WAS SHAKY BUT STAYED RUNNING AND IT DROVE FINE AFTER FOR SEVERAL DAYS. ABOUT A WEEK LATER MY WIFE TOLD ME THAT THIS PROBLEM HAD HAPPEN TO HER 2-3 TIMES OVER A COUPLE DAYS TIME. I HAVE...

THE VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED JUNE 11, 2013 AND HAD THE REAR PASSENGER TIRE REPLACED DUE TO UNFIX-ABLE FLAT TIRE. THE DEALER HAD ME TAKE VEHICLE TO PEERLESS TIRES CO. THE TIRE WAS REPLACED WITH WRONG SIZE AND DIFFERENT BRAND OF TIRE. TRAVELING DURING THUNDERSTORM APPROXIMATELY 3,5 WEEKS AFTER PURCHASING VEHICLE; THE COMPUTER APPEARED TO LOCK WHEN VEHICLE SLIPPED ON PAVEMENT AS AWD ATTEMPTED TO ENGAGE CAUSING LOSS OF STEERING AND POWER THEN SKIDDED OFF THE ROAD. I MADE CLAIM THROUGH MY INSURANCE AND HAD VEHICLE INSPECTED BY LOCAL SHOP, AND I HAD MY MECHANIC LOOK TO SEE IF DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WAS NOTICEABLE WAS NOT HANDLING CORRECTLY AFTER ACCIDENT. WHEN ACCELERATES OR DECELERATES THE VEHICLE WILL LUNGE FORWARD. TOOK VEHICLE TO PEERLESS TIRE CO. AFTER MECHANIC POINTED OUT THE WRONG SIZE AND MODEL OF TIRE ON REAR PASSENGER SIDE OF VEHICLE. AFTER ACCEPTING FAULT WANTED TO TAKE VEHICLE TO [XXX]...

DURING A ROUTINE INSPECTION AND OIL CHANGE AN AUTOMOTIVE TECHNICIAN IDENTIFIED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE (AKA SUB-FRAME) WAS SEVERELY CORRODED. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY TWO OTHER AUTO TECHNICIANS AND BOTH CONFIRMED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS CORRODED AND THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO OPERATE. THE VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD TO BOTH ITS PASSENGERS AND OTHER VEHICLES OPERATING IN THE VICINITY. THE VEHICLE IS CONSIDERED TO HAVE ZERO RESALE VALUE UNLESS THIS IS REPAIRED. PARTS FOR THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN ORDERED AND REPAIR IS SCHEDULE TO OCCUR WITHIN 10 DAYS. ESTIMATED COST FOR REPAIR IS $4,000. A REVIEW OF THE NHTSA DATABASE FOR THIS MODEL YEAR VEHICLE INDICATES 6 COMPLAINTS OF AN IDENTICAL NATURE FILED WITHIN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. SIMILAR SEARCHES OF OTHER WEBSITES CONFIRM THAT THIS IS AN EVOLVING PROBLEM. PACIFICA MODELS YEARS 2004 AND 2005 HAVE WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUES RELATIVE TO CORRODED ENGINE CRADLES...

MY CAR STARTED TO JERK FORWARD WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE FROM A COMPLETE STOP. I ALSO HAD TO PRESS HARD ON GAS PEDAL BECAUSE IT WOULD STICK A LITTLE. FINALLY TOOK CAR IN AND IT WAS A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT. NOT EVEN 6 MONTHS LATER MY CAR STARTED TO MAKE A GRINDING NOISE AND SEEMED TO STICK A LITTLE WHEN I WOULD ACCELERATE. I TOOK CAR BACK TO SHOP AND IT IS ANOTHER BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT. AFTER SPEAKING WITH THE MECHANIC I LEARNED THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM IN THE PACIFICA, SO MUCH SO THAT THE MOTOR MOUNT I NEEDED WAS ON BACKORDER FOR 3 WEEKS. *TR

MECHANIC IDENTIFIED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTING THROUGH AND REQUIRES REPLACEMENT SINCE IT COULD BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE IF IT FAILED. EVEN THOUGH THIS KNOWN DEFECT HAS RESULTED IN CHRYSLER EXTENDING THE WARRANTY ON 2004 AND 2005 MODELS, THEY WILL NOT COVER THE DEFECT ON 2006. *TR

AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE AND PLACING INTO REVERSE THE VEHICLE IMMEDIATELY STALLS. STALLING HAS ALSO OCCURED WHILE DRIVING. IN ADDITION TO THIS PROBLEM I HAVE REPLACED THE ENGINE MOTOR MOUNTS 3 TIMES. *TR

MY HUSBAND WAS ON THE HWY DOING 55 WHEN MY CAR JUST WENT WHEW AND LOST ALL POWER, WE HAD IT TOWED TO THE GARAGE WHERE THEY TOLD US THE MOTOR HAD A CRACK ON BOTH SIDES OF IT. THE MECHANIC SAID HE HAD NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND HAD NO IDEA WHAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT. THE CAR HAD JUST HAD AN OIL CHANGE THE WEEK BEFORE AND HAD THE REQUIRED AMOUNT OF OIL, ANTIFREEZE IN IT. DID THIS HAPPEN BECAUSE OF A POSSIBLE DEFECT? *TR

THE CONTACT TOWED THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER TO HAVE THE ENGINE MOUNTS REPLACED A SECOND TIME. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 56,000.

I HAVE VERY DANGEROUS PROBLEM WITH ENGINE CRADLE RUST ON MY 2006 AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO PROVIDE ANY WARRANTY HELP. VEHICLE ONLY HAS 58,000 MILES. CHRYSLER HAS A 10 YEAR 150K MILE WARRANTY ON 2004 AND 2005 FOR ENGINE CRADLE RUSTING OUT. THEY REFUSE TO EXPLAIN WHY THE '04 AND '05 HAVE EXTENDED WARRANTY BUT THE 06 IS NOT, OTHER THAN IT IS PAST 3 YEAR MILEAGE WARRANTY. *TR

ENGINE MOUNT BROKE. HAD IT FIXED AND 3 WEEKS LATER IT HAPPENED AGAIN. JUST BOUGHT THE VEHICLE FROM CARBONE AUTO LESS THAN A YEAR AGO. I'M NOT RICH AND I JUST WANT A CAR I CAN DRIVE. I CANT KEEP REPLACING THESE. CARBONE AUTO KNOWS THE KIND OF VEHICLE THEY SOLD ME AND I TRUSTED THEM. THEY SEEM LIKE THEY DON'T CARE WHEN I GO THERE AND THEY JUST SAY MAKE AN APPOINTMENT. I CANT KEEP TAKING TIME OFF FOR THIS ON A WHIM. THEY SELL YOU A CAR AND DON'T CARE. CHRYSLER TOOK OUR MONEY IN A BAILOUT,AT LEAST THEY CAN DO IS CARE ABOUT THEIR CUSTOMERS. NEW OR USED VEHICLE. *TR
