I understand it a 20 yo car but no rust anywhere on the body or the undercarriage but the engine cradle is almost completely rusted out to the point that the car is not safe to drive something is definitely wrong and reading others reporting the same issue I don’t know there car’s condition but like I said mine is rust free even the undercarriage but the engine cradle is totally rusted out something is wrong here Chrysler had to know something about this it should be recalled or at the very least make the engine cradle available for purchase and fix the rusting issue with it!! I have literally replaced the entire suspension front and back new shocks and struts tires brakes trying to fix the rattle to find out it’s the cradle bushings and cradle are the issue and it’s no longer offered and used ones are all damaged by rust it’s pretty bad the car is going to have to be junked unless I put a

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 with nothing done and no accountability taken for way too long. It's time for you to do what you are here to do. Safety right? Then do it. This is not the last you will hear about this matter. From me or the thousands of othe Chrysler Pacifica owners nationwide. I myself refuse to go quietly into the dark night. I'm forwarding and sending this message to any and all media outlets and anyone else that will listen. It starts with 1 I am that 1. Do better, better yet, do your job. Thank you for your time.

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 ABLE TO HELP ME THEY TOLD ME I NEEDED TO GET IN TOUCH WITH MY DEALER TO SEE IF THEY WOULD BE ABLE TO DO ANYTHING.I WENT TO MY DEALER EXPLAINED MY SITUATION THEY NEVER EVEN LOOKED AT THE CAR AND TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO BEING THAT MY CAR WAS NOT MANUFACTURED IN CANADA AND WAS NOT PART OF THE RECALL, (HAVE A NICE DAY) AND SENT ME ON MY WAY.MY CAR HAS JUST UNDER 115000 MILES ON IT AND STILL FAIRLY GOOD SHAPE. I'M RETIRED ON SS CAN'T AFFORD A NEW OR USED CAR OR TRADE IT IN BECAUSE IT'S THERE'S NOT MUCH VALUE ON A 15-YEAR OLD CAR WITH JUST UNDER 115000 MILES ON IT. I LIVE IN NORTHERN NJ WITH SALTY WINTER ROADS WHICH IS WHY I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY MY CAR NOT BEING MANUFACTURED IN CANADA HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH IT.

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 A VEHICLE THAT IS NOT EVEN SAFE FOR MY FAMILY TO RIDE IN.

TOOK THE CAR IN FOR EXHAUST WORK. THE MECHANIC DID A SAFETY INSPECTION AND TOLD ME THE SUB FRAME IS SEVERELY RUSTED OUT, AND SHOULD BE REPLACED SOON. IF NOT ADDRESSED SOON IT COULD BECOME A SAFETY HAZARD, DUE TO LACK OF DRIVER CONTROL ISSUES.

I DROVE OUT FROM CAR WASH I WAS GOING ABOUT 35MPH THEN I TURNED RIGHT ON TO THE FREEWAY SOON AS I REACHED 50MPH MY VEHICLE MADE A WEIRD NOISE AND SHUT OFF AS IM ON THE FREEWAY. THERE WERE NO WARNING LIGHTS ON WHATSOEVER ALTHOUGH I GOT A "GAS CAP" MESSAGE. THE STEERING WHEEL LOCKED I HAD TO PULL OFF THE FREE WAY(NO ACCIDENT, THANKFULLY) THE BREAKS WERE HARD TO PUSH DOWN I HAD NO CHOICE BUT TO LET IT ROLL THROUGH TRAFFIC I GOT TO A SAFE PLACE I PUT IT IN PARK WAITED ABOUT 30 MINUTES TO TRY STARTING IT, IT WOULD NOT START. SMOKE CAME OUT FROM BACK PASSENGER REAR TIRE. LET MY CAR SIT OVER NIGHT TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT MORNING, AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START. I HAD IT TOWED IT INTO SHOP THEY COULD NOT FIND THE PROBLEM I HAD LEFT MY VEHICLE IN THE SHOP FOR A WEEK OTHER MECHANICS DISCOVERED THE PROBLEM. LATER THEY TOLD ME I NEED A WHOLE NEW ENGINE. I ONLY GOT TO DRIVE IT 2X BEFORE IT STALLED. I REALLY LIKE IT AND WISH I CAN GET IT FIXED I DO BELIEVE IT HAS TO DO WITH THE POWER TRAIN, FUEL PROPULSION, AND ENGINE. *TR

I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF MY 2005 PACIFICA, BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD IT SERVICED BY THE SAME CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON FEB. 19, 2019 AND WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE CROSSMEMBER IS RUSTED OUT AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT ASAP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER MENTIONED THIS PREVIOUSLY, AND THEY HAVE CHANGED OIL EVERY 3-4 MONTHS FOR 14 YEARS. AFTER RECEIVING THE NEWS, I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER (AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP) HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS AND HAS NOT SAID ANYTHING. REPAIR COST IS ESTIMATED AT $3,000. I HAVE GARAGE KEPT THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND IT LOOKS IS IN GREAT CONDITION, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT, UNTIL YOU LOOK UNDER THE CAR.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica: questions buyers ask

Is the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica a good car?

Going by the federal record, it is one of the Pacifica years to avoid: owners filed 1,244 complaints, 3.8 times as many as a typical Pacifica year. The most common complaint is about the engine (26%).

What is the most common problem with the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?

The engine: 323 of the 1,244 complaints (26%) are about it. Owners most often say it stalls (30%), sets off warning lights on the dash (8%) and turns on the check engine light (6%). The typical report comes at 91,000 miles.

How many recalls does the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica have?

2 safety recalls on file with NHTSA, the most recent filed Nov 9, 2006. The largest, 06V432000, covered 127,928 vehicles. Recall repairs are free at a dealer; whether a specific car still has one open depends on its VIN.

At what mileage do 2005 Chrysler Pacifica problems start?

Half of the complaints that record an odometer reading came in before 97,000 miles. For the engine the midpoint is 91,000 miles.

Has NHTSA investigated the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?

Yes, 5 times. The latest, AQ10001 ("Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit"), was opened Nov 18, 2010 and closed Dec 28, 2015.

Are there service bulletins for the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica?

The manufacturer filed 92 technical service bulletins and other notices for it with NHTSA, most of them about the engine (18), the body and frame (16) and the electrical system (13). A bulletin is a repair instruction to dealers, not a recall: the fix is usually free only under warranty.

Reading this record

Complaint volume is well above typical for a single model year.

Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.

Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.

Most recent recall on file: Nov 9, 2006. Source: NHTSA Office of Defects Investigation.
