2005 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

I JUST NOTICED THE ROTTING ENGINE CRADLE ON MY CAR AND FOUND OUT IT IS A WELL KNOWN ISSUE BY FCA AND MANY OTHER CONSUMERS SUFFERING THE SAME CONDITION. I HAVE NOT HAD REPAIRED YET

RUSTED THROUGH SUB FRAME.

MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A CLUNK NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND STOPPED SHIFTING OUT OF SECOND GEAR. I TOOK VEHICLE IN TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION SERVICE AND WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE HAS CORROSION AND HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT THE VEHICLE WHICH MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS BEING LIFTED ON THE HOIST. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY ARE AFRAID TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE HOIST BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED WHILE UNDERNEATH IT.

I HAVE OWNED THIS VEHICLE FOR ALMOST TWO YEARS WITH MINIMAL ISSUES. ALL OF A SUDDEN THREE DAYS AGO, I WAS DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY AND THE ACCELERATOR STOPPED WORKING. THE CAR DID NOT SHUT OFF JUST KIND OF SPUTTERED LIKE IT WANTED TO CUT OFF. I HAD TO MANEUVER MY WAY TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD. EVENTUALLY I ENDED UP HAVING IT TOWED TO MY HOME. NOW I AM WITHOUT A VEHICLE. I WAS TOLD IT COULD BE THE PCM, ECM OR THE TRANSMISSION.

ENGINE CRADLE HAS ROTTED AWAY ON PASSENGER SIDE, WELL ON IT'S WAY ON THE DRIVERS. CROSS MEMBER TWISTS WHEN STEERING AND HANDLING IS DANGEROUS WITH THE MOTOR AND SUB FRAME TWISTING WHEN YOU HIT A BUMP. WE'VE STOPPED DRIVING IT AS DIRECTION OF MECHANIC FOR FEAR OF MOTOR FALLING OUT AND IT HAS IN OTHER CASES! WE NOTICED IT LAST YEAR AFTER SEEING A NEWS REPORT ON THE ISSUE BUT IT WASN'T THIS BAD THEN, NOW WE WON'T DRIVE IT.

ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED OUT ENGINE CAN DROPOUT OF CAR WHILE DRIVING CAR. DISCOVERED WHEN GETING NEW TIRES. NOT DRIVE CAR UNTIL I FINE OUT HOW BAD IT IS

ROTTING SUBFRAME. RUST HOLES 6INCHES PLUS WIDE. ENGINE AT RISK OF FALLING OUT. FAR BEYOND WHAT NORMAL RUST WOULD BE.

WHILE DRIVING, THE FUEL GAUGE WILL FLUCTUATE ERRATICALLY AND, OCCASIONALLY, I WILL COMPLETELY LOSE POWER WHILE DRIVING

WAS TOLD THAT ON MY TYPE OF VEHICLE THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE K FRAME/CROSS MEMBER. FROM THEM ROTTING OUT. CAR PASSED EMISSIONS INSPECTION BIT BECAUSE OF THE FRAME WOULD NOT PASS. MECHANIC TOLD ME THERE WAS A RECALL. DEALERSHIP SAID OTHERWISE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE STATIONARY, THE DEALER NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED. RYAN AUTO MALL IN BUFFALO, MINNESOTA DIAGNOSED THAT THE CROSS MEMBERS WITHIN THE ENGINE CRADLE WERE ROTTED AND RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE ISSUE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 170,000.

MY PACIFICA HAS CRADLE RUST UNDERNEATH THE VEHICLE,MY STEERING WHEEL IS TILTED TO THE LEFT AND IT IS VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY VEHICLE ANYWHERE. I WORK IN THE CITY OF CHICAGO AND WE DEAL WITH THE ELEMENTS EVERYDAY AND NOW MY CAR IS SWAYING LEFT TO RIGHT AND WOULD NOT DRIVE STRAIGHT...PLEASE HELP

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 35 MPH, THE HEADLIGHTS STOPPED WORKING. THE CONTACT OPERATED THE SWITCH TO TURN THE LIGHTS BACK ON, BUT THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO A DEALER. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 05V066000 (EXTERIOR LIGHTING). THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 144,000.

THE ENTIRE UNDERSIDE IS RUSTING AND FALLING APART. THE BIGGEST PROBLEM BEING THE CRADLE. IT IS SO BAD THERES CRACKS ALL OVER AND BIG RUST HOLES. THE MECHANIC SHOP TOLD MY WIFE NOT TO DRIVE BECAUSE ITS TO DANGEROUS!! SHE DRIVES SEVERAL YOUNG KIDS AROUND EVERYDAY. SO NOW IT SITS RUSTING EVEN FASTER TILL WE CAN GET IT FIXED. CHRYSLER ACCEPTS NO RESPONSIBILITY. OF COURSE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE AND I'M GLAD THERE'S A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT ON THIS! IT HAS 120,000 MILES AND TO THINK THE ENGINE COULD DROP OUT WHILE SHE'S DRIVING KIDS AROUND. THAT COULD KILL EVERYONE INCLUDING OTHER DRIVERS AROUND HER. THIS WILL BE MY LAST CHRYSLER/DODGE/JEEP VEHICLE AND MY KIDS WILL NEVER OWN ONE. IT'S NOT MY FIRST, AND I'VE HAD MAJOR ISSUES WITH EVERY SINGLE ONE. MY FORDS AND CHEVY'S HAVE NEVER FALLEN APART LIKE CHRYSLER/DODGE DOES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING INDICATOR ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS. A UNKNOWN DEALER WAS CONTACTED AND CONFIRMED THAT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000(POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN CONTROL MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,474.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A ROUTINE OIL AND MISC FILTER CHANGE ON OCTOBER 4, 2017. I WAS SHOWN THE DETERIORATION/DISINTEGRATION OF THE CROSS MEMBER/CRADLE ROT OF THE CAR. OF COURSE, THEY SHOWED ME THE CRADLE ROT ISSUE AFTER THE $334 OF WORK THEY'D DONE! I'D INQUIRED ABOUT A VIBRATION OR LOUD HUM SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY CAR ON MARCH 22, 2017 WHEN I HAD AN EARLIER OIL CHANGE. ON THE SERVICE ORDER, IT WAS NOTED AS "ENGINE PERFORMANCE CONCERN," BUT I SAID I THOUGHT IT WAS WITH THE ACCELERATION OR ROTATION OF THE TIRES THAT WAS MAKING THE SOUND. "THE TECHNICIAN SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID IT WAS FOUND TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY AT THIS TIME. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY "TIRE NOISE." TODAY, I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY THE FRONT END OF MY CAR HAS BEEN LOUDER THAN WHAT I REMEMBERED IT. TODAY I JUST DISCOVERED THE ACTUAL ISSUE WITH MY CAR IS TYPICAL OF MANY 2005 PACIFICAS. I'M SURE I AM NOT THE FIRST 2005 PACIFICA OWNER THAT HAS HAD THEIR VEHICLE SERVICED AT THEIR FACILITY, AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OF PACIFICAS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR A SIGNIFICANT EXTENT OF TIME; I'M QUITE DISTURBED THAT THE DEALER'S NEGLIGENCE IN NOT INFORMING ME OF THIS PROBLEM MUCH EARLIER CAN OR COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. I'M SURE I AM NOT THE FIRST 2005 PACIFICA OWNER THAT HAS HAD THEIR VEHICLE SERVICED AT THEIR FACILITY, AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THI

BODY FRAME RUSTING OUTLER PACIFICA

EXTENSIVE UNDER CARRIAGE RUSTING

I PURCHASED A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA USED FROM A FAMILY MEMBER IN 2015. I HAD IT SERVICED AT THE SAME GARAGE THAT THEY DID PRIOR TO PURCHASING IT. I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR A FLAT TIRE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO CRADLE RUST. THE FRAME THAT SUSPENDS THE ENGINE IS RUSTED AND IT WAS DEEMED UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS PROBLEM MUST HAVE TAKEN A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF TIME TO DEVELOP. IT HAD NEVER BEEN MENTIONED IN THE MANY YEARS OF ROUTINE SERVICE IN WHICH THE CAR HAD BEEN INSPECTED AND REPAIRED. I WAS TOLD THAT IT WOULD BE APPROXIMATELY $3000 TO REPAIR THIS PROBLEM. IN RESEARCHING THIS, I DISCOVERED THAT THERE WAS AN ADMISSION FROM CHRYSLER THAT PACIFICAS MANUFACTURED IN 2004 AND 2005 HAD NOT BEEN PROPERLY PROTECTED FROM RUST IN THE CRADLE. THIS IS A MANUFACTURE PROBLEM. THIS HAS CREATED A SITUATION IN WHICH THIS CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THE CAR IS IN GOOD SHAPE OTHERWISE AND HAS BEEN RELIABLE. I WOULD NOT HAVE KNOWN THAT IT WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IF I HAD NOT TAKEN IT IN TO REPAIR THE TIRE. I PURCHASED IT TO DRIVE TO AND FROM COLLEGE AND NOW I HAVE NO TRANSPORTATION. I AM THANKFUL THAT I WAS NOT INJURED DUE TO THIS PROBLEM, BUT MANY PEOPLE ARE STILL DRIVING THESE CARS AND ARE UNAWARE THAT THERE IS A DANGEROUS PROBLEM. THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AND IT SHOULD BE FIXED BY CHRYSLER. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.

SUB FRAME RUST, DO TO CHRYSLER NOT CORRECTLY COATING THE SUBFRAME ON THE 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, THE SUB FRAME RUSTS AWAY MAKING THE ENGINE UNSECURED POTENTLY CAUSING THE ENGINE TO DROP POTENTLY CAUSING A MULTIPLE CAR INCIDENT OR DEATH

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE ATTEMPTING TO REFUEL THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL PUMP WOULD SHUT OFF EACH TIME AFTER DISPENSING 2/10 OF A GALLON OF FUEL. IN ADDITION, WHILE OPERATING THE VEHICLE, THE FUEL GAUGE DISPLAYED FALSE READINGS THAT INDICATED THE FUEL TANK WAS HALF FULL BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO NO FUEL. ALSO, THE FUEL MILEAGE RANGE DISPLAYED FALSE INFORMATION, INDICATING THAT THE FUEL MILEAGE RANGE WAS 120 MILES BEFORE THE VEHICLE STALLED DUE TO A LACK OF FUEL. THE VEHICLE WAS EXAMINED BY AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO REPLACED FILTERS AND VALVES, BUT THE FAILURE CONTINUED. THE MANUFACTURER AND LOCAL DEALER WERE NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 120,000.

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEVERE CORROSION AND ENGINE CRACKS. *LD UPDATED 09/12/2017*JS

2005 PACIFICA BOUGHT FROM DEALER NOW OUT OF BUSINESS. VEHICLE FAILED PENNSYLVANIA STATE INSPECTION IN JULY 2017 FOR ROTTED SUB FRAME / K FRAME. HAD JUST SPENT $600 ON A CATALYTIC CONVERTER. NOW THE ESTIMATE IS $3100 FOR A NEW SUB FRAME... THIS COST TOTALS THE VEHICLE AND I'LL HAVE TO BUY A NEW ONE AND I'M OUT $600 TO BOOT. THIS SHOULD HAVE BEEN A RECALL. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. RUST PREVENTION UNDERCOATING NOT DONE OR NOT DONE PROPERLY. SOME SAY IT WAS SKIPPED ENTIRELY. PROBLEM IS REPORTED ON THE WEB OFTEN AND IS WELL KNOWN. VEHICLE CANNOT PASS STATE INSPECTION AND CANNOT BE DRIVEN SAFELY. ENGINE COULD FALL OUT THE BOTTOM. IF ANYONE KNOWS OF A CLASS ACTION SUIT OR SOME GOVERNMENT INTERVENTION, PLEASE LET ME KNOW. THE VEHICLE IS WORSE THAN USELESS, IT'S DANGEROUS.

SUB-FRAME BROKE ON ME. IT IS THE EXACT PART THAT WAS RECALLED FOR THE 2004 PACIFICA. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 2005? THE SUB FRAME BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WITH A CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY IN THE "SALT BELT" CHRYSLER'S SELF ADMITTED INSUFFICIENT PROTECTIVE COATING ON THE SUB FRAME OF THESE CARS, SHOULD BE ENOUGH PROOF, TO RAISE EYEBROWS AND REMEDY THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR ALL THE DAMAGE THIS CAUSED, AND PACIFICA'S CANNOT HOLD A RESELL VALUE, AS SELLING THIS TO ANOTHER PERSON, IS JUST LIKE HANDING THEM A TICKING TIME BOMB. WHY IS THERE NO SOLUTION OR HELP ON THIS ISSUE? I AM NOT ALONE WITH THESE ISSUES. I SUPPOSE IT WILL TAKE DEATHS FROM THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE ANY REAL ACTION IS ACTUALLY TAKEN. HAVING A STRONG PIECE OF METAL TO KEEP MY MOTOR FROM FALLING ON THE GROUND ISN'T TO MUCH TO ASK, OR IS IT? THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE TO KEEP MY PRIMARY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD, IS TO TRY WELDING THE SUB FRAME AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.

THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTING OUT CAUSING A SAFETY ISSUE. THE REST OF THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE

DEALER REPORTED ON 8/15/2017 THAT MY CAR HAS AN ENGINE CRADLE PROBLEM. THERE ARE HOLES IN THE CRADLE NOW DUE TO RUSTING. HE ALSO TOLD ME IT IS A SAFETY PROBLEM.

THIS IS A REAL PROBLEM THE SUB-FRAME THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE TO THE CAR IS RUSTED THROUGH THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THRU AND WILL BECOME A HAZARD TO DRIVE WITHOUT REPAIRS THE CARS ARE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE ENGINES CAN FALL OUT.

A FEW MONTHS AGO, I NOTICED A SHAKING IN THE STEERING WHEEL OF MY 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. IT SEEMED TO BECAME MUCH WORSE, VERY QUICKLY, TO THE POINT OF WHERE I COULD BARELY HOLD THE CAR STRAIGHT, SO I TOOK IT IN THIS WEEK FOR A BRAKE INSPECTION. THE PROBLEM ISN'T THE BRAKES AT ALL.. THE ENTIRE UNIBODY FRAME AND ENGINE CARRIAGE HAVE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND DETERIORATED!! THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT THE VEHICLE WASN'T SAFE TO EVEN DRIVE HOME! HE WAS ABLE TO PUSH HIS FINGER THROUGH THE CARRIAGE, AND SAID THAT THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT ONTO THE GROUND! BOTH AXELS ARE ALSO RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY OFF. IT'S HORRIBLE! I AM ATTACHING PICTURES.... AND, AS IT TURNS OUT, CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THIS PACIFICA RUST ISSUE! I DECIDED TO SEARCH THE INTERNET FOR "2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA RUST", AND IT ISN'T JUST MY CAR! CHRYSLER KNOWS THAT I, AND SO MANY OTHERS, ARE OUT HERE DRIVING OUR BABIES AROUND IN VEHICLES WITH RUSTED OUT FRAMES THAT COULD SNAP AT ANY SECOND!!! (IE. CHRYSLER INITIALLY ISSUED RECALL OF 2004-05 PACIFICA, CITING POTENTIAL UNIBODY RUST.. LATER RESCINDED THE OFFER.) (NHTSA [AS EARLY AS OCT 2004] 10008424, 10044109, 10045080, 10010501...) (CLASS-ACTION LAWSUIT FILED IN 2014 AGAINST CHRYSLER BY PACIFICA OWNERS. LAWSUIT DENIED DUE TO CHRYSLER 2009 BANKRUPTCY.) NOTE: THIS MESSAGE WILL ONLY ALLOW ME TO ATTACH ONE PHOTO. ONE PHOTO DOESN'T ADEQUATELY SHOW THE DEPTH OF THE SITUATION. BOTH AXELS ARE RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY OFF, AS WELL AS THE ENGINE CRADLE. PLEASE CONTACT ME TO VIEW A

ACCORDING TO THE DEALER, THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AND THE VEHICLE SHOULDN'T BE DRIVEN.

THE FRONT SUBFRAME IS ROTTING OUT

MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT MY CAR HAS CRADLE ROT, SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. I WENT HOME DID MY RESEARCH JUST TO FIND OUT THAT THIS A COMMON PROBLEM. CHYRSLER IS AWARE OF THE PROBLEM, THEY USED SUBSTANDARD MATERIAL TO CREATE THE MAIN FRAME THAT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE. THERE ARE THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE DRIVING A TIME BOMB. HOW DO I GET MY CAR FIXED?

WHEN DRIVING THE CAR WOULD STALL AT STOP SIGNS OR HAS ISSUES MAINTAINING SPEED GOING UP HILLS. ALSO I TOOK THE VEHICLE INTO A MECHANIC AND THEY TOLD ME THE SUB-FRAME IS COMPLETELY ROTTED THROUGH AND THE STEERING IS BEING HELD TOGETHER WITH 1 BOLT. THEY STATED THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

SUBFRAME OF THE ENGINE CRADLE. I WAS TOLD DURING LAST INSPECTION (APRIL 2016) THAT THE SUBFRAME OF THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED. THE SAME WAS CONFIRMED ON 3/18/17 AT FIRESTONE SERVICE CENTER, BENSALEM, PA. IT'S REPAIR WILL COST A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT AND IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS THE THE ENGINE MAY FALL OUT. IT IS A VERY HIGH SAFETY RISK.
