AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN FOR A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED MY ENGINE CRADLE ON MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 108,000 MILES IS FALLING APART AND RUSTING THROUGH. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AS THE VEHICLE IS OVER THEIR 5 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CASES OF THIS SAME ISSUE IN CANADA THAT IS BEING COMPLETELY FIXED BY CHRYSLER. ALSO THERE WAS A CASE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT WAS REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AS WELL. AT 6 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 108,000 MILES MY VEHICLE CAN FALL APART UNDERNEATH AT ANY MOMENT AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS BEING FIXED WITHOUT QUESTION IN CANADA. *TR

I HAVE HAD MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR 5 YEARS. IN THOSE 5 YEARS I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BUMPER 3 TIMES. ALL THREE TIMES IT WAS DURING WINTER DURING SNOW FALL. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT AN AUTO BODY THIS TIME AROUND AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT IS AN ISSUE HE HAS SEEN WITH THE PACIFICA WHERE IF TOO MUCH WEIGHT IS PUT ON THE FRONT BUMPER, IT COMES OFF. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT COMES OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME AS THE WARRANTY WAS UP AND THERE WAS NO RECALL. I AM NO LEFT HAVING TO FIX THIS AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. *TR

FLAT TIRE LED US TO THE MECHANIC ONLY TO FIND THE SUB-FRAME/ENGINE CRADLE WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED THROUGH ON PASSENGER SIDE. IT WAS ALSO ROTTED AND ABOUT TO BREAK ON DRIVER SIDE. *TR

I TOOK MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WITH 92,000 MILES, TO GET NEW TIRES AFTER FAILING INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE TIRES. AFTER THEY PUT NEW TIRES ON, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THEY COULD NOT ALIGN THEM BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THE MECHANIC STRONGLY ADVISED THAT I NOT DRIVE MY CAR HOME BECAUSE IT WAS SO UNSAFE AND COULD BREAK AT ANY TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO HAVE A NEW SUBFRAME PUT IN. I HAVE NOT DECIDED WHETHER IT IS WORTH SPENDING THOUSANDS TO REPLACE THE CORRODED FRAME. *TR

FAILURE OF BOTH MOTOR MOUNTS ON OUR 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. PARTS FROM LOCAL DEALER HAVE BEEN BACK ORDERED FOR WEEKS. ADDITIONAL RESEARCH ON MY PART HAS SHOWN THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL. MOTOR MOUNTS SHOULD NOT FAIL BUT ESPECIALLY WHEN THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 90K MILES. *TR

DANGEROUS SITUATION: WHILE CONNECTING FROM FLORIDA ST RD 826 TO ST RD 836, THE CAR SOUNDED AN ALARM & DISPLAYED A TIRE WARNING ON THE PANEL. I THEN FELT THAT ONE OF THE TIRES HAD QUICKLY GONE FLAT.

HE ADDED NOT TO DRIVE VEHICLE, EXCEPT TO A DEALER SHIP TO HAVE THE FRAME FIX. THE DEALER SAID IT WOULD COST AROUND $4000 DOLLARS AND YOU COULD NOT DRIVE THE VEHICLE. *TR

THE CLOCKSPRING INSIDE MY STEERING WHEEL IS BROKEN - IT CONTROLS MY AIRBAGS - WHEN THE AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT CAME ON, I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CAN'T REPAIR IT BECAUSE THE PART IS ON NATIONAL BACKORDER - THIS MEANS THAT WHEN I DRIVE MY VEHICLE, I HAVE NO AIRBAGS. THEY HAD NO ESTIMATE OF WHEN THE PARTS WOULD BE AVAILABLE. I DO NOT WANT TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE WITHOUT AIRBAGS. *TR

THE ACCELERATOR STICKS PREVENTING ACCELERATION. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE DEALER STATES THAT IT IS DUE TO A BUILD-UP OF CARBON ON THE ENGINE COMPONENTS. MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED - NOT COVERED UNDER ANY WARRANTY OR FACTORY PROGRAM. *TR

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN NEED OF ENGINE MOUNTS, HAVE BEEN ON ORDER FOR OVER A YEAR WITH LOCAL DEALER. FINDING OUT THERE ARE LOTS AND LOTS AND LOTS OF US WITH ENGINE MOUNT PROBLEMS! NOW I'M BEING TOLD NOT TO DRIVE MY CAR SO MUCH, WHAT DO THEY EXPECT ME TO DO ? WALK! WORRIED ABOUT MY FAMILIES SAFETY. THIS IS AN ISSUED THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. *TR

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. IN THE PAST 3 MONTHS WE HAVE REPLACED THE MOTOR MOUNTS AND THE ANTILOCK BRAKING SYSTEM MODULE. WE NOW HAVE A THROWN ROD IN THE MOTOR OR A MAJOR CYLINDER PROBLEM. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 80,000 MILES ON IT AND WE MAINTAIN IT REGULARLY. ARE THERE ANY OTHER PROBLEMS THAT ARE COMMON FOR THIS VEHICLE? *TR

PROBLEM WAS WITH MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA NOT STARTING. AFTER TAKING IT TO A MECHANIC FOUND THAT I HAVE THREE BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS. THIS APPEARS TO BE A VERY COMMON PROBLEM FOR THIS MAKE AND MODEL ACCORDING TO THE MANY COMPLAINTS I HAVE READ ONLINE. *TR

ENGINE SHUTS OFF WHILE DRIVING THE VEHICLE. THREE SEPARATE OCCURRENCES, MOST RECENTLY ON FEBRUARY 12,2010. *TR

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 72,000 MILES. ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO STARTED HEARING A CLUNKING NOISE WHILE CAR WAS CHANGING GEARS. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE.I FOUND THAT A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR MOTOR MOUNTS. I PUT MY CAR ON A LIFT TO INSPECT IT AND THERE WAS FLUID LEAKING FROM AROUND THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE BUSHINGS WERE COMPLETELY BUSTED AND BROKEN. WHEN I TRIED TO GET NEW PARTS, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WERE ON BACKORDER INDEFINITELY. THEY SAY THAT I SHOULD JUST DRIVE IT UNTIL THEY GET PARTS. I HAVE FOUND OUT FROM JUST ABOUT EVERY OWNER OF A PACIFICA THAT THEY TOO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR MOTOR MOUNTS AS WELL, AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE.(AROUND $500) SOMETIMES TWICE. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER ADDRESSED THIS AS A DEFECT? THIS IS A VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT ACTIVATED THE DEFROST SYSTEM; HOWEVER, THE FRONT AND REAR WINDSHIELD, SIDE AND REAR WINDOWS WERE COMPLETELY COVERED WITH ICE. THE DEFROSTER/DEFOGGER SYSTEM FAILED TO DE-ICE THE ACCUMULATION ON THE WINDOWS. IN ADDITION, THE DEFROSTER FAILED TO CLEAR OFF THE FOG AND FROST FROM THE WINDOWS SURFACE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR INSPECTION. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE DEFROSTER WAS FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED FOR THE MALFUNCTION. THE VIN WAS UNAVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 35,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 77,000.

I OWN A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND IT JUST TURNED 60,000 MILES THIS WEEK. I BROUGHT THE CAR IN TO MY MECHANIC FOR AN OIL CHANGE. HE CALLED ME 1/2 HOUR LATER AN INFORMED ME THAT MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. HE INFORMED ME HE FOUND THAT THERE WAS "SEVERE FRAME CORROSION" UNDER THE ENGINE NEXT TO THE STEERING RACK BOLT (THERE IS A RUST HOLE STRAIGHT THROUGH). I WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE FRONT FRAME OF THE CAR BEFORE IT CAN BE DRIVEN. I MADE AN APPOINTMENT WITH CHRYSLER (SPOKE WITH SERVICE MANAGER) AND THEY WILL BE LOOKING AT THE CAR ON TUESDAY 12/22/2009 BUT THEY ALREADY INFORMED ME THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO BECAUSE IT ISN'T A WARRANTY PROBLEM. MY FEAR IS THAT OTHER PEOPLE WITH THE SAME CAR ARE UNAWARE OF THIS PROBLEM AND THEY COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED OR DIE WHILE DRIVING THE CAR. PLEASE HELP! *TR

COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. AT 70,000 MILES I DISCOVERED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE CORRODED THROUGH IS CERTAIN AREAS AND HEAVILY RUSTED IN OTHER AREAS. WHEN DISCOVERED I WAS ADVISED NOT TO DRIVE IT ANY FURTHER FOR FEAR OF THE ENGINE OR SUSPENSION FALLING OUT. MY FIRST QUOTE WAS FOR $4000.00 HOWEVER, WITH THE HELP OF A NEPHEW WE ACCOMPLISHED THE REPLACEMENT OF ENGINE CRADLE FOR $2600.00. FOR THIS CONDITION TO DEVELOP ALMOST SEEMS CRIMINAL. I PREVIOUSLY WAS A FORENSIC PHOTOGRAPHER FOR PERSONAL INJURY CLAIMS AND IN FACT WORKED FOR ATTORNEYS WHO REPRESENTED CHRYSLER IN LAW SUITS. IT MY MANY (35) YEARS EXPERIENCE, I NEVER WITNESSED THIS EXTENSIVE CORROSION ON A RELATIVELY NEW VEHICLE. I HOPE THIS COMPLAINT WILL ALLOW ME TO ATTACH PHOTOS. *TR

I HAD A BAD VIBRATION IN THE FRONT . SO I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER SINCE I HAD A FACTORY EXTENDED WARRANTY BUMPER TO BUMPER., THEY SAID THE CAR NEEDED TIRES. SO I CHANGED THE TIRE IT STILL VIBRATED. GO BACK NOW IT IS THE RACK & PINION BUSHINGS ARE BAD . BUT I NEED TO REPLACE THE K FRAME BECAUSE A WELD IS BROKEN. THEY SAY I BROKE IT CAUSE THERE ARE SCRATCHES ON IT. {NOT THAT VIBRATION DID IT} SO I PAID TO HAVE A NEW ONE PUT IN . 8 MONTHS LATER THE MOTOR MOUNTS BREAK AND THE ENGINE DROPS 2" FROM THE GROUND . THANK GOD MY FAMILY WAS NOT DRIVING DOWN A HIGHWAY. SO I TAKE IT BACK AND THEY SAY BECAUSE THERE IS SCRATCHES ON IT AGAIN THAT BROKE THE BUSHINGS .ONCE AGAIN I ENDED UP PAYING TO HAVE IT FIXED. *TR

FRAME AT RIGHT FRONT HOLDING ENGINE AND WHEEL ASSEMBLY RUSTED THROUGH ON MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. SOMETHING LIKE THIS SHOULD NEVER HAPPEN ON A 4 1/2 YEAR OLD CAR WITH 43,780 MILES ON IT, AND ALWAYS KEPT IN THE GARAGE, AND PROMPTLY SERVICED AT ALL TIMES. THE SAME PROBLEM HAPPENED RECENTLY TO OUR FRIENDS ON THEIR 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, THIS DEFINITELY IS A PROBLEM ON THOSE CARS. I'M SURE THAT IF THAT HAPPENED ON TWO CARS THERE ARE MOST LIKELY A LOT MORE ON THE ROAD WAITING FOR A DISASTER TO HAPPEN. THE DEALER AND HIS STAFF THAT SERVICED MY CAR ADVISED ME NOT TO DRIVE IT ANY MORE. SINCE THERE WAS NO NEW PART AVAILABLE FOR SEVERAL WEEKS I HAD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR. CHRYSLER INFORMED THE DEALER THAT PART IS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY EVEN UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY I PURCHASED . *TR

MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAD A FIRE IN THE REAR SIDE WALL ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE. THE CAR WAS PARKED AND UNOCCUPIED WHEN THIS HAPPENED. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND AN INVESTIGATOR WAS SENT. THE INVESTIGATOR TOLD ME THE "HOTTEST PART" OR STARTING POINT FOR THE FIRE SEEMS TO BE IN OR AROUND THE REAR OF THE MOTOR FOR THE REAR WIPER BLADES WHICH WAS INSIDE THE SIDE WALL OF THE CAR. I RECEIVED A FORM LETTER FROM CHRYSLER STATING THE REPORT WAS INCONCLUSIVE AND THEY HAVE NO LIABILITY. I DO NOT AGREE WITH THEIR REPORT AND HAVE REQUESTED A COPY OF THEIR INVESTIGATOR'S REPORT WHICH THEY HAVE REFUSED TO SEND. THE IS NO WAY THIS FIRE AND DAMAGED CAUSED BY THIS FIRE WAS ANYTHING OTHER THAN A DEFECT OR PROBLEM WITH EITHER WIRING OR A MOTOR INSIDE THE SIDE WALL OF THE CAR. *TR

THE BLOWER SWITCH IS STUCK ON THE HIGHEST MODE AND I AM UNABLE TO TURN OFF THE BLOWER AND THE BLOWER WILL CONTINUE TO RUN FOR ABOUT 10 SECONDS AFTER ENGINE IS SHUT OFF. THUS WHEN I START MY CAR THE BLOWER IS ON HIGH . THE CAR IS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. HAS THERE BEEN ANY REPORTS FROM OTHER OWNERS WITH THIS ISSUE? THE DEALER, JOLLY JOHN IN SACO MAINE, SAYS THEY WILL NEED TO REMOVE MY DASHBOARD TO DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THIS AND WILL COST APPROXIMATELY, AT LEAST $1,000.00. *TR

FAILED MOTOR MOUNT 2004 CHYRSLER PACIFICA, APPARENTLY VERY COMMON AND CAN CAUSE SEVERE DAMAGE TO CAR IF NOT FOUND IN THE EARLY STAGE. THIS IS SUPPOSED "NORMAL WEAR". NEVER HAVE I HAD TO REPLACE THESE PART BEFORE ON ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. *TR

THE EVENTS LEASING UP TO THE DEFECT WERE ERRATIC GAS GAUGE READINGS, FROM 1/2 TANK TO EMPTY IMMEDIATELY, THEN SOMETIMES BACK TO HALF. THE CAR HAS STALLED ON A COUPLE OF OCCASIONS WHILE DRIVING.BEING TOLD BY DEALER THAT IT NEEDS PARTS THAT HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH GAS GAUGE READINGS IE: THROTTLE BODY CLEANING, MAP SENSOR, FUEL FILLER TUBE. THIS IS AN EXTREMELY DANGEROUS SITUATION. I HAVE AN EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE HOWEVER THE PARTS THAT IM BEING TOLD ARE NEEDED ARE NOT UNDER WARRANTY. HOWEVER UPON READING ALL OF THE DISCUSSION BOARDS AND LOOKING AT FORMER RECALLS THE PARTS THAT ARE BEING RECOMMENDED TO REPLACE TO FIX THE PROBLEM ARE UNDER MY WARRANTY. *TR

MOTOR MOUNTS ON 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA DEFECTIVE AFTER 61000 MILES CAUSED ENGINE TO SHIFT AND LOOSEN TRANSMISSION CABLE/WIRE DISABLING VEHICLE. *TR

MOTOR MOUNTS ON MY '04 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ARE BROKEN. WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER THIS ITEM. SO MANY PEOPLE ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. THE MOUNTS ARE ALL ON A BACK-ORDER STATUS AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN THEY WILL GET ANY RESTOCK OF THEM. SO NOW MANY PEOPLE ARE DRIVING AROUND WITH UNSAFE VEHICLES. I'VE CHECKED E-BAY AND DEALERSHIPS FOR THESE ITEMS. NO LUCK. I THINK CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RE-CALL THESE MOUNTS SINCE MANY OWNERS ARE HAVING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA SINCE 2007 MY PACIFICA HAS HAD THIS PROBLEM. THE DESIGN OF THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS ARE OF VERY POOR QUALITY, CAUSING REPEATED FAILURES. I'VE SEARCHED AROUND AND APPARENTLY ITS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. ITS SO COMMON THAT DEALERS HAVE HAD CONTINUOUS BACK ORDERS FOR THIS MODELS MOTOR MOUNTS FOR TWO YEARS NOW. I'VE REPLACED THE MOUNTS A FEW TIMES ONLY TO HAVE THEM FAIL AGAIN. A COMMON SYMPTOM, WHICH I HAVE, IS RANDOM SHIFTING WHILE DRIVING, LURCHING OF THE CAR, CLUNKING NOISED IN THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT, ALL WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS BETWEEN 15 AND 60 MPH. THEY CAUSE OTHER FAILURES FROM DAMAGING ELECTRICAL LINES AND CONNECTORS TO CAUSING TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKS. IF YOU DO A SEARCH ON CHRYSLER PACIFICA MOTOR MOUNTS YOU'LL FIND WAVE AFTER WAVE AFTER WAVE OF COMPLAINTS ON WEB BOARDS FROM WHAT MUST BE THE VAST MAJORITY OF PACIFICA OWNERS. APPARENTLY IT ALSO AFFECTS EVERY MODEL YEAR FOR THIS VEHICLE, NOT JUST THE 2004'S. THIS IS A WIDESPREAD PROBLEM CAUSED BY POOR DESIGN, AND A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD. I REALIZE CHRYSLER IS GOING THROUGH SOME TOUGH TIMES RIGHT NOW, BUT THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION. *TR

WE WERE TOLD LAST WEEK THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS ON OUR 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WERE GONE. NOT BROKEN.... GONE. I HAD NOTICED SOME FRONT END SHAKING WHEN I HIT THE BRAKES AT A HIGH RATE OF SPEED. I ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE WAS LOUD WHEN I WOULD HIT THE ACCELERATOR FROM A STOP. OUR MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE MISSING AND CAUSING THE ISSUES. EVERY TIME I HIT THE GAS, THE ENGINE JUMPS UP A COUPLE OF INCHES. MY MECHANIC CALLED AROUND AND WAS UNABLE TO GET HIS HANDS ON ANY MOTOR MOUNTS AT THIS TIME. HE WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE ON BACKORDER AT THIS TIME. I HAVE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH AND HAVE FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH PACIFICAS. I HAVE FOUND A SITE, WWW.TOPIX.COM, HAS A FORUM OPEN TO LIST THE ISSUES WITH THESE CARS. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS, MANY PEOPLE HAVE STATED THAT THIS PART IS ON BACK ORDER AND CAN'T BE FOUND ANYWHERE. ONE PERSON ALSO SAID THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT MAKING THE PART ANY MORE. I FIND THIS TO BE POOR BUSINESS ON CHRYSLER'S PART. I TRY TO BUY AMERICAN, BUT I HAVE TO BE HONEST.... MY CONFIDENCE IS FAILING HERE. I FEEL CHRYSLER SHOULD DO THE 'RIGHT THING' AND MAKE GOOD TO ALL THE PACIFICA OWNERS WHO ARE HAVING THIS SAME ISSUE. AT THE VERY LEAST, MAKE THE PART!!!!!! *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT TOOK HER VEHICLE IN FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION, BUT IT FAILED DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE FRAME. THE DEALER REFERRED HER TO A WARRANTY SPECIALIST AND WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE EXCEEDED ITS WARRANTY. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED. THE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGES WERE 87,000.

MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS BROKEN MOTOR MOUNTS AND HAVE BEEN TOLD THEY ARE ON BACK-ORDER INDEFINATELY. *TR

I OWN A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I AM HAVING A MAJOR ISSUE WITH THE FUEL GAUGE. THE GAUGE SHOWS 1/2 FULL AND THEN THE NEXT THING YOU KNOW IS THAT IT DROPS TO EMPTY AND YOU RUN OUT OF GAS. I TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALERSHIP OVER A MONTH AGO AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PARTS WOULD BE IN A FEW DAYS. THIS ISSUE IS DANGEROUS AS YOU RUN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT A METHOD OF KNOWING WHAT IS GOING ON. IN ADDITION, WHEN YOU ATTEMPT TO FILL THE TANK WITH GAS, IT CONTINUES TO POP AVOIDING YOU FROM PUTTING GAS IN THE CAR. I CAN TAKE UP TO 30 MINUTES TO FORCE 1/2 TANK OF GAS IN THE CAR TO WHERE THE GAUGE WILL SHOW THE CAR FULL. *TR

CAR WILL NOT START ON FIRST TRY ON A NORMAL BASIS. HAVE CHANGED BATTERY AND STARTER. CAR ALSO STALLS. WHEN IT DOES START AFTER ABOUT 30 TRIES OR 30 MIN I HAVE TO PUT MY FOOT ON THE GAS PEDAL TO KEEP IT STARTED. I HAVE GONE TO MANY SITES ON LINE BY TYPING IN STARTING AND STALLING PROBLEMS ON LINE. THERE ARE MANY PEOPLE HAVING THIS PROBLEM AND NO ONE SEEMS TO KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM IS. PEOPLE ALONG WITH MYSELF ARE SPENDING A GREAT DEAL OF MONEY TO TRY TO FIX THIS PROBLEM. CHRYSLER HAS TO KNOW WHAT THIS PROBLEM IS WITH ALL THESE CARS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT THEY DON'T SEEM TO CARE ABOUT OUR PROBLEMS AND THE MONEY THAT WE ARE LOOSING EVERY MONTH. I FEAR THAT I AM GOING TO BE STRANDED WITH MY CHILDREN BECAUSE MY CAR WON'T START OR STALLS. I JUST WANT TO KNOW WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR. I KNOW IF THEY TELL EVERYONE WHAT IS WRONG WITH THIS CAR THEY WILL HAVE TO FIX THE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLES CARS THAT ARE IN NEED OF REPAIR AND THAT BIG COMPANY DOES NOT WANT TO DO THAT FOR THE LITTLE PEOPLE OF THE COUNTRY WHO TRUSTED THEM. THEY HAVE RECEIVED BILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN TAX PAYER MONEY AND THEY SHOULD COME CLEAN AND FIX THESE CARS OR AT LEAST TELL US WHAT IS WRONG SO THAT WE CAN FIX THEM FOR GOOD. PLEASE HELP ALL OF US. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND CAN NOT AFFORD TO TRY SO MANY DIFFERENT THINGS THAT ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. I ASK AGAIN. PLEASE HELP US. *TR

1. THE ISSUE HAS EXISTED FOR A FEW YEARS, BUT DIAGNOSIS HAS BEEN CONCLUSIVE ONLY RECENTLY. THE ISSUE SEEMS TO HAVE ARISEN FROM NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. THE VEHICLE IS DRIVEN FREQUENTLY, BUT IS NOT ABUSED IN ANY WAY. 2. THE MOTOR MOUNTS HAVE FAILED, AT LEAST ONE IS COMPLETELY BROKEN. THE RESULT IS A VERY LOUD KNOCKING NOISE WHEN BRAKING SHARPLY. IT IS UNKNOWN AT THIS TIME IF FURTHER DAMAGE WILL BE FOUND RESULTING FROM THIS CONDITION PENDING REPAIR. 3. THE VEHICLE IS WAITING FOR PARTS WHICH HAVE BEEN ON BACKORDER. ONCE THE PART ARRIVES, REPAIRS WILL COMMENCE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT HEARD A KNOCKING SOUND WHENEVER THE TRANSMISSION HAS TO SHIFT. THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE FAILING. IN FEBRUARY OR MARCH OF 2009, THE VEHICLE HAD A TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAK. THE DEALER REPLACED A SEAL AND STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED. THE CONTACT STILL HAS THE WORK ORDER FOR THAT REPAIR. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 88,000 AND FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 87,500.

2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAS A PROBLEM WITH THE MOTOR MOUNTS. CONSUMER STATES THE MOUNTS HAVE BEEN ON BACK ORDER SINCE DEC. 2008. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED A NOISE WAS HEARD WHEN GONG OVER BUMPS IN THE ROAD. THE ANTI-LOCK WHEEL SENSOR WAS BAD, THE TIRE LIGHT ILLUMINATED, THE LOWER CONTROL ARMS AND FRONT SWAY BAR WERE REPLACED. THE MOTOR MOUNTS WERE LEAKING OIL. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS NOT WORKING AND THE EGR VALVE WAS REPLACED. *JB

OUR 2004 PACIFICA HAS A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT, AND WE WERE TOLD BY DEALER THAT THE PART IS ON BACK ORDER INDEFINITELY, NOW DRIVING AROUND WITH A BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT, POSSIBLE DAMAGE BEING DONE TO THE ENGINE. THE CAR IS COVERED UNDER WARRANTY BUT CAN'T GET IT FIXED BECAUSE CHRYSLER IS NOT MAKING ANY PARTS ANY TIME SOON, IF AT ALL; WE WANT TO KNOW WHEN CHRYSLER WILL START MAKING PARTS TO FIX OUR CAR. *TR
