2006 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

TAKES FOREVER FOR ME TO PUMP GAS IN TO THE VEHICLE IT CAN SAY IT'S EMPTY AND I WILL PUT 15 DOLLARS OF GAS IN IT AND IT WILL REGISTER FULL AND WHEN IT GETS TO A HALF A TANK IT WILL DROP TO EMPTY AS SOON AS IT HITS THAT POINT. PLEASE FIX THIS RECALL

'EXCUSE ME, BUT I BELIEVE YOU DROPPED YOUR ENGINE BACK THERE.' SOUNDS RIDICULOUS, RIGHT? AND IT IS ' UNLESS YOU OWN A 2004'08 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WHICH HAS THE DUBIOUS NICKNAME OF 'ENGINE-DROPPER.' OK, I MADE THAT UP ' BUT THOSE CARS DO HAVE A KNOWN ISSUE WHERE THE ENGINE CRADLES RUST, ROT AND SPLIT APART TO THE POINT WHERE THE ENGINE CAN ACTUALLY FALL OUT, SO THAT NICKNAME IS ENTIRELY POSSIBLE. BUT WHY THESE YEARS SPECIFICALLY? AND WHAT IS CHRYSLER DOING TO CORRECT THIS DANGEROUS PROBLEM? (SPOILER ALERT: IT'S NOT MUCH)

THE ENGINE CRADLE AND THE SUB FRAME HAS SEVERE CORROSION AND THE MECHANICS TOLD ME IT IS NO LONGER SAFE TO DRIVE AND REPAIRING IT WILL REQUIRE MORE THAN $5000. THE CAR ONLY HAS 60K MILES ON IT.

ROTTED OUT ENGINE CRADLE VIBRATION WHEN DRIVING..NO HELP FROM CHRYSLER...CANT DRIVE CAR,,STILL PAYING ON IT...NEED HELP. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE STALLED AND WAS ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE FAILURE RECURRED ON NUMEROUS OCCASIONS. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP, WATER PUMP, CAM SHAFT SENSOR, CATALYTIC CONVERTER, OXYGEN SENSOR, TIMING BELT, PVC VALVE, AND MULTIPLE OTHER PARTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE CONTACT WAS AWARE OF NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN), BUT THE VIN WAS NOT INCLUDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS UNKNOWN.

OUR 2006 PACIFICA WAS MAKING NOISE WHEN TURNING AND WE TOOK IT IN TO BE LOOKED AT. TURNS OUT, THE CROSSMEMBER IS RUSTING THROUGH AND NEEDS REPLACED ASAP BEFORE IT CAUSES MAJOR DAMAGE AND A POTENTIALLY LIFE-THREATENING ACCIDENT. IT IS APPARENTLY A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS CAR MADE FROM 2004-2008, AND IT IS DUE TO CHRYSLER'S NEGLIGENCE. THEY KNEW IT WAS A PROBLEM AND THEY HAVE DONE NOTHING TO RECALL OR REPLACE THE PROBLEM PART OUTSIDE OF A VERY NARROW SWATH OF 7000 CARS. WE ARE SCARED TO DRIVE OUR SMALL CHILDREN IN THIS CAR UNTIL WE GET IT FIXED (AND SPEND $2500 WE DON'T HAVE!)

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA CRADLE IS RUSTING OUT AND THE DEALERSHIP THAT CHANGED MY OIL SAID IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY THEM THAT THE 2004 AND 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA HAD RECALLS ON THIS SAME ISSUE BUT NOT THE 2006. WHEN I CALLED CHRYSLER UP TO REPORT THIS ISSUE THEY TOLD ME THAT MY VIN # IS NOT ON THE RECALL AND CAN NOT DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. BUT AS I READ ON HERE CHRYSLER SHOULD KNOW ABOUT THIS ISSUE. I HAVE MY GRANDSON IN MY CAR A LOT OF THE TIME AND I HOPE AND PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO EITHER ONE OF US WHILE I AM DRIVING THIS CAR. I CAN NOT AFFORD TO GET THIS FIXED BECAUSE IT IS VERY EXPENSIVE TO REPAIR. *TR

I TOOK MY CAR IN FOR A SIMPLE OIL CHANGE. THE MECHANIC TOLD ME THE ENGINE CRADLE IS SO RUSTED THAT HE CAN STICK HIS FINGER THROUGH IT. HE SAID IT WAS DANGEROUSLY CLOSE TO RUSTING THROUGH TO THE POINT WHERE MY ENGINE COULD FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE!

RECCALL F44 (FUEL PUMP MODULE). THIS RECALL WAS FOR REPAIR/REPLACE OF MODULE DUE TO FACT THAT PACIFICA CARS STALL WITH FAULTY UNIT. MY CAR HAS STALLED NUMEROUS TIMES. I TOOK TO DEALER AS INSTRUCTED BY RECALL LETTER. THE DEALER SAID THEY MADE REPAIR. MY VEHICLE CONTINUES TO STALL. DEALER WOULD NOT REPLACE PART AGAIN. I AM STUCK WITH A VEHICLE I CANNOT DRIVE BECAUSE IT IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE.

FRONT SUB-FRAME HAS SUCH SEVERE RUST THAT THE CAR WILL NO LONGER BE ABLE TO PASS A NYS SAFETY INSPECTION.

"TAKATARECALL" THE MOTOR CRADLE IS CARRODED IN RUST AND THE PACIFICA IS ONLY GOT 70,000 MILES ON IT AND WE ARE NOT ABLE TO DRIVE IT ANY MORE AS THEY TOLD US THE MOTOR COULD FALL OUT! IT HAS BRAND NEW TIRES ON IT AND EVERYTHING IS NEW ON IT! THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SUB FRAME IS ALSO RUSTED OUT! I HAVE SEEN SO MANY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS ON THE COMPLAINT LIST AND I AM SHOCKED THAT THEY HAVE NOT DONE ANYTHING ABOUT THIS! I DID SEND A COMPLAINT ABOUT TWO MONTHS AGO, AND YOU DID NOTHING! THIS IS DANGEROUS IF WE HAD NOT KNOWN ABOUT IT, WE COULD HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE PACIFICA AND THERE COULD HAVE BEEN A SERIOUS ACCIDENT. THE ONLY WAY WE FOUND OUT ABOUT IT WAS I WAS CHECKING UNDERNEATH IT, AND THAT IS WHAT I FOUND! WE HAVE HAD MANY PEOPLE TELL US THAT IT IS NOT RIGHT THAT SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE TO HELP US. I HAVE SENT PICTURES BEFORE, AND I CAN SEND THEM AGAIN! PLEASE HELP US.

VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN FOR ALIGNMENT AND I WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE CRADLE IS ROTTED OUT AND WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. I DID SOME HOMEWORK AND LEARNED THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH ALL PACIFICA'S. CHRYSLER HAS ONLY REPAIR ROUGHLY 7,000 VEHICLES MADE IS 2004 DURING A ONE MONTH PERIOD. THIS IS A MODEL/YEAR WIDE PROBLEM. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT CURRENTLY PENDING.

THE CENTER BEARING/DRIVE SHAFT IS NO GOOD. I PREPAID THE DEALER IN MARCH OF 2016 FOR A NEW ONE. AS OF TODAY SEP 18, 2006 IT HA NOT COME IN YET. THE CAR IS UNDRIVEABLE. EXCUSE AFTER EXCUSE. I HAVE NOTIFIED THE MASS ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE. THERE INVESTIGATION. I ALSO HAVE A ROTTED SUB FRAME. AND THE DEALER WONT STAND BEHIND IT. I AM LOOKING TO START OR JOIN A CLASS ACTION SUIT AGAINST CHRYSLER.

MY SUBFRAME IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT. IS VERY DANGEROUS. TEN YEAR OLD CAR, 100,000 MILES. IS VERY BIG RISK DRIVING IT WITH MY KIDS IN ITHE CAR. THANK YOU *TR

WE TOOK OUR 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFIC IN FOR A REPAIR. THE MECHANIC CALLED TO REPORT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS SEVERLY RUSTED AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. BEFORE THIS WE NOTED SOME "CLUNKING" IN THE FRONT END BUT THOUGHT IT WAS A SUSPENSION ISSUE. WE DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS VEHICLE HAD THIS ENGINE CRADLE PROBLEM UNTIL THE MECHANIC PUT THE VEHICLE ON THE LIFT. WE ARE FACE WITH A VERY COSTLY REPAIR BECAUSE THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE AND ESSENTIALLY WORTHLESS. THE MECHANIC SAID WITHOUT WARNING THE ENGINE COULD HAVE CAME LOOSE AND IMPEADED THE ABILITY TO STEER OR BRAKE. IF WE WERE ON THE HIGHWAY WE PROBABLY WOULD HAVE LOST CONTROL AND CRASHED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE AT A DEALER FOR INSPECTION, THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000.

MY ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THROUGH CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN GARAGED.

"TAKATA RECALL" CAR HAS ONLY 70,000 MILES ON IT, BRAND NEW TIRES AND IS IN GOOD SHAPE, EXCEPT FOR RUST ON THE SUBFRAME AND MOTOR CRADLE! WE HAVE FOUND OUT RECENTLY THAT THERE IS MANY OF THESE 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS THAT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. WE HAVE BEEN TOLD THAT WE CAN NOT DRIVE THE CAR AS THE MOTOR WILL FALL OUT! IT IS VERY BAD! WE FEEL THAT YOU OWE US A EXPLANATION AND OR A SETTLEMENT ON THIS CAR! WE HAD TO BUY ANOTHER CAR THAT IS NOT IN OUR BUDGET! WE ARE SENIORS AND THINK THAT THIS IS TOTALLY WRONG! WE HAVE ALSO TALKED TO THE STATE OF ILLINOIS ON COMPLAINTS AND WE HAVE TALKED TO THE CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP AND TO NO AVAIL! PLEASE HELP US! THANK YOU *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE OCCUPANT DETECTION INDICATOR FOR THE PASSENGER SEAT FAILED. THE CONTACT TOOK THE VEHICLE TO A CERTIFIED MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE AIR BAG SENSOR COULD NOT BE CALIBRATED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 112,000.

WHEN TAKING MY CAR FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THE TECHNICIAN ADVISED ME THAT MY CAR WOULD NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO SEVERE RUSTING OF THE ENGINE CRADLE. AFTER SEARCHING THE WEB, I FOUND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL AND THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO ADDRESS THIS PROBLEM BUT FOR A VERY NARROW MANUFACTURING WINDOW. HOW LONG IS AN ENGINE CRADLE SUPPOSED TO LAST IF PROPERLY COATED? I ALSO SAW THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT REGARDING THIS PROBLEM. ARE OTHERS IN THE SAME SITUATION GETTING ANY SATISFACTION FROM THIS ACTION? I SPENT $3,600 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE CRADLE WITHOUT ANY HELP FROM CHRYSLER. IF THIS IS A WIDE-SPREAD AND DANGEROUS PROBLEM, WHY ARE THEY JUST IGNORING IT? UNFORTUNATELY, I DON'T HAVE ANY PHOTOS OF THE ROTTED OUT CRADLE.

MY ENGINE CRADLE IS ALMOST RUSTED THRU AND MY SUBFRAME IS AS WELL

BROUGHT CAR IN FOR REPAIR AND THE SHOP WOULD NOT EVEN LIFT THE CAR UP DUE TO THE SUB FRAME BEING IN SUCH POOR SHAPE. THEY ADVISED ME TO CALL THE DEALERSHIP TO SEE IF THERE ARE ANY OPEN RECALLS FOR THE ISSUE. UPON CALLING THE DEALERSHIP THEY LET ME KNOW THAT AS THERE ARE NOT ANY OPEN RECALLS ON THIS THEY DO KEEP THE ENGINE CRADLE IN STOCK AS THIS IS A VERY COMMON ISSUE. THE PART ALONE IS ALMOST $2,000.00 AND NOT EVEN SURE WHAT THE LABOR WOULD BE AS OF YET. AS FAR AS THE REST OF THE COMPLAINTS GO LOOKS AS IT WILL BE OVER A $3,000.00 FIX. I HAVE FOUND OUT FROM THE DEALSHIP THAT THE PREVIOUS YEARS HAVE BEEN RECALLED FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

MY CAR FAILED INSPECTION BECAUSE MY MECHANIC NOTICED IT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS ROTTING AND HAD HOLES IN IT ALL OVER. SO HE SAID THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S AND THAT THEY WERE POORLY DESIGNED. TO REPAIR WOULD COST ME ABOUT $2000-2500. I FEEL HORRIBLE AND LIED TO BECAUSE CHRYSLER ISN'T TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DEFECT. THAT KIND OF MONEY IS NOT IN MY BUDGET. I DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW SOMETHING SO IMPORTANT COULD BE OVERLOOKED BY CHRYSLER.....I'M REALLY FED UP.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE HAVING THE VEHICLE INSPECTED, THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS ROTTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A DEALER WHERE THE TECHNICIAN CONFIRMED THE ENGINE WAS ROTTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS UNABLE TO BE REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 96,000.

INTAKE PLENUM HAS FAILED CAUSING THE CAR TO STALL OUT WHEN TURNING IN FRONT OF ONCOMING TRAFFIC. DEFINITELY A SAFETY HAZARD. THIS DEFECT IS IN ALL CHRYSLER PACIFICAS. AS A SECONDARY CONSEQUENCE, THIS DEFECT CAUSES EXCESSIVE EMISSIONS, INCREASING AIR POLLUTION.

MY 2006 PACIFICA CRADLE, CARRAGE, ROCKERS, OR WHATEVER THE CORRECT NAME... UNDERNEATH IS ROTTED OUT. I GOT NEW TIRES FOR THE VEHICLE AND WHEN I WENT TO SEARS AUTO CENTER TO HAVE THEM INSTALLED IS WHEN THE NEWS WAS BROKEN TO ME ABOUT THE ISSUE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE COMPARTMENT HOLDING THE ENGINE IS RUSTING OUT BAD AND COULD RESULT IN THE MOTOR FALLING OUT. IT WAS SO BAD THAT THEY DIDN'T ALIGN THE TIRES BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T WANT TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE. I DROVE THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE AND EXPLAINED THE ISSUE. THEIR RESPONSE WAS THIS IS A BUY HERE PAY HERE AND THE VEHICLE WAS AS IS NO WARRANTY SO THEIR NOT RESPONSIBLE. WOW....WAS MY RESPONSE.... SO I FOLLOWED UP BY CALLING THE DEALER ABOUT THE ISSUE... BUT THEY DON'T HAVE A RECALL ON THE VEHICLE FRAME ISSUE FOR 2006 BUT ONLY FOR CERTAIN VEHICLES IN 2005.... NOW IF THAT AIN'T JUST BLOW MY MIND...ONLY THING I COULD DO WAS FILE A COMPLAINT AND HOPE ENOUGH PEOPLE DO TOO FOR IT TO BE A CHANCE FOR RECALL... NOW I DON'T THINK THAT'S FAIR THAT I DONE PURCHASED THIS VEHICLE AS A FAMILY VEHICAL WITH A RUSTED FRAME AND THERE'S NOTHING THAT'S BEING DONE TO FIX THIS ISSUE. THIS IS A $3000 FIX OUT OF POCKET WHICH IS NOT FAIR.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE REAR SEAT BELTS FAILED TO LOCK. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED OR REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VIN WAS UNKNOWN. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 165,499.

SUB FRAME WHICH HOLDS THE ENGINE HAS RUSTED THROUGH I SEVERAL LOCATIONS. ENGINE COULD "DROP" AT ANYTIME WHILE DRIVE THE CAR. 2005 MODELS CURRENTLY HAVE A RECALL FOR THE SAME ISSUE.

TOOK CAR TO MECHANIC AND HE NOTICED THE MOTOR MOUNT SUBFRAME WAS COMPLETELY ROTTED OUT AND CRACKED THAT SUPPORTS THE ENGINE WEIGHT AND SUSPENSION OF THE CAR. THOUGH NO INCIDENT TOOK PLACE YET, THIS ISSUE COULD HAVE HAD THE ENGINE FALL OUT AT ANY TIME.

THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. THE CAR WOULD NOT ACCELERATE OVER 25 MPH. IT KEPT FEELING AS IF IT WAS STALLING WHEN STOPPED AT LIGHT AND TRYING TO ACCELERATE. HARD TO GO UP INCLINES. AFTER BEING PARKED FOR 4 HOURS WE NOTICED THE CAR WAS SMOKING. I CALLED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WHO DISCOVERED THAT THE INSULATION AND THE ENGINE WAS SMOLDERING. IT IS NOW AT EXCALIBUR BEING LOOKED AT. I WAS DRIVING ON A CITY STREET WHEN THIS HAPPENED. WHEN WE DISCOVERED THE CAR WAS SMOKING, IT HAD BEEN PARKED FOR FOUR HOURS.

ENTERED THE FREEWAY AND AFTER REACHING SPEED OF APPROXIMATELY 55-60 MPH I HEARD A LOUD SOUND THAT SOUNDED LIKE A SMALL EXPLOSION. SOMEONE DRIVING IN THE LANE NEXT TO ME BEGAN FRANTICALLY POINTING AT THE ENGINE OF MY CAR. IMMEDIATELY I SAW SMOKE AND FLAMES COMING FROM UNDERNEATH THE CAR'S HOOD. I PULLED OFF THE EXIT THAT I WAS APPROACHING, PARKED THE CAR AT THE CURB, JUMPED OUT THE CAR, DIALED 911. FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONDED IN A COUPLE OF MINUTES AND BY THIS TIME ENTIRE ENGINE AND HOOD WAS ON FIRE.THEY PUT THE FIRE OUT. CAR WAS NOT ABLE TO BE PLACED IN NEUTRAL OR ANY OTHER GEAR, BUT WAS STILL TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP THAT PERFORMED REPAIRS TO FUEL INJECTORS AND OTHER COMPONENTS OF THE ENGINE ON FEBRUARY 2, 2016. DURING FEB. 2016 INCIDENT THE GAS PEDAL WOULD NOT GIVE POWER TO MAKE THE CAR ACCELERATE, CAR STARTED SMOKING AND GIVING OFF FUMES THAT SMELLED LIKE BURNING PLASTIC. CAR REPAIRS WERE MADE IN THAT INCIDENT. GOING TO HAVE DIAGNOSTIC PERFORMED TO RESEARCH IF THERE IS A CONNECTION/RELATION BETWEEN FEBRUARY 2016 INCIDENT AND JUNE 2016 INCIDENT.

VEHICLE HAD CRADLE ROT REQUIRING COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF THE ASSEMBLY. HAD BROUGHT THE VEHICLE TO A LOCAL NECHANIC TO DO SOME ROUTINE MAINTENANCE. MECHANIC OBSERVED THE RUST/ROT AND WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS SO SEVERE THAT HE WOULD NOT ALLOW ME TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE HOME BECAUSE IF THE CRADLE BROKE COMPLETELY THROUGH THE ENGINE WOULD DROP TO THE STREET RENDERING THE VEHICLE 'TOTALED'

ON JUNE 21, 2016 TOOK VEHICLE TO CHRYSLER DEALER FOR EMISSION REPAIRS. INFORMED VEHICLE UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO RUSTED SUB-FRAME AND CRADLE WHICH HOLDS THE ENGINE. WENT BACK AND VIEWED VEHICLE. ENTIRE CRADLE, I.E. SUB-FRAME CORRODED. NEVER RECEIVED RECALL. OWNED VEHICLE SINCE 2007. ESTIMATE OF REPAIRS OF $5,000.00.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATED THAT THE TANK WAS EMPTY AFTER INDICATING THREE QUARTERS OF A TANK OF FUEL ONE MINUTE EARLIER. THE CONTACT ATTEMPTED TO ADD FUEL TO THE VEHICLE, BUT THE TANK WAS FULL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINES AND FUEL TANK NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FAILURE OCCURRED APPROXIMATELY A MONTH AND A HALF. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 128,000.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 70,000 MILES. WAS INSPECTING THE EXHAUST SYSTEM AROUND THE MUFFLER AND HAPPENED TO NOTICE SOME EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE SUB FRAME AND UPON FURTHER LOOKING I WENT TO THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE AND NOTICED THE MOTOR CRADLE AND WHERE THE MOTOR CRADLE CONNECTS WITH THE PASSENGER SIDE OF THE SUB FRAME THERE WERE ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF DECAY AND CORROSION ON THE MOTOR CRADLE AND SPLITTING IN THE SUB FRAME. I BELIEVE THAT THERE WAS A SERIOUS OVER LOOK AND NEGLECT IN NOT TREATING THE SUB FRAME WITH SOME SORT OF ANTI CORROSIVE AT TIME OF ASSEMBLY AT THE FACTORY BY CHRYSLER.THE CAR WAS MANUFACTURED ON SEPTEMBER 2005.

I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. I BROUGHT THE VEHICLE IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND FOUND OUT THE VEHICLE SUBFRAME IS ALMOST RUSTED OUT. THE VEHICLE HAS LESS THAN 81000 MILES.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 138,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 157,000.

ONE SIDE OF MY ENGINE MOUNT IS RUSTING OUT BADLY AS WELL. WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE A RECALL TO REPAIR THIS ISSUE. I ALSO HAVE IDLING ISSUES IN WHICH IT SEEMS LIKE THE CAR IS GOING TO DIE WHETHER IT'S IN PARK OR DRIVE. THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON FOR QUITE WHILE NOW.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THERE WAS A FAILURE IN WHICH VARIOUS INSTRUMENT PANEL WARNING LIGHTS FLASHED. IN ADDITION, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE CONTACT HAD TO MAKE NUMEROUS ATTEMPTS AS WELL AS WAITING A BRIEF MOMENT TO RESTART THE VEHICLE AS THE FAILURE WAS GETTING WORSE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THREE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS. THE MECHANICS HAD REPLACED THE BATTERY, THE ALTERNATOR ASSEMBLY AND ADDITIONAL PARTS BUT THE FAILURE PERSISTED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

TOOK MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE. THE CRADLE IS CRACKED AND RUSTED OUT. THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE, AND THE REPAIR IS VERY EXPENSIVE. WE ARE NOW UNABLE TO USE OUR CAR. WE CAN'T AFFORD THE REPAIR, AND ARE NOT IN A POSITION TO PURCHASE A NEW ONE. IT APPEARS THAT THERE ARE A VERY LARGE NUMBER OF PACIFICA'S THAT ARE EFFECTED, AND CHRYSLER ONLY RECALLED A VERY SMALL PORTION OF THE PACIFICA'S. THIS IS A DEFECTIVE PART ON MY CAR, AND CHRYSLER SHOULD REPLACE THIS PART. THIS MISTAKE IS PUTTING PEOPLE'S LIVES IN DANGER.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING AT APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH, THE BRAKE PEDAL WAS DEPRESSED AND FAILED TO RESPOND CAUSING THE VEHICLE TO CRASH INTO A UTILITY POLE. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. A POLICE REPORT WAS TAKEN AT THE SCENE. THE PASSENGER WAS INJURED THAT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION BUT NO FURTHER INFORMATION WAS AVAILABLE. THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE WAS NOT DETERMINED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURES. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 100,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DURING A ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT, I WAS INFORMED THAT THE ENGINE CROSSMEMBER OF MY PACIFICA WAS DANGEROUSLY CORRODED AND THEIR WAS A HIGH PROBABILITY OF FAILURE THAT WOULD RESULT IN MY ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FALLING OUT OF THE CAR. CHRYSLER ACKNOWLEDGED THE ISSUE BUT ONLY FOR 7,000 2004-5 PACIFICAS. CLEARLY THIS PROBLEM GOES BEYOND THIS NUMBER. MY CONCERN IS THAT THERE WAS NO NOTIFICATION FROM CHRYSLER THAT THIS PROBLEM EXISTED AND THERE ARE PROBABLY THOUSANDS OF PACIFICA OWNERS AT RISK OF CROSSMEMBERS FAILING.

WELL KNOWN ISSUE WITH 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICAS, THE ENGINE CRADLE RUSTS DUE TO POOR BUILD AND DESIGN. THE CAR BECOMES UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE POSSIBILITY OF THE ENGINE FALLING OUT OF THE CAR. ALSO WILL NOT PASS AN INSPECTION. THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS ISSUE. CHRYSLER WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE! I HAVE TO KEEP PUTTING "BAND-AIDS" ON THIS JUST SO I CAN CONTINUE TO DRIVE MY CAR.

MY VEHICLE STALLS WHEN REMAINING STILL, OR IF DRIVING IT WILL JUST SHUT OFF. TURNING LEFT AROUND A ROUND ABOUT IT WILL SHUT OFF. RECENTLY WHEN STOPPED IT WILL IDLE HIGH THEN SPUTTER AS IF IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF, SOMETIMES IT DOES. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL FOR VEHICLES MADE UP TO THE DATE NOVEMBER 2004. MINE WAS MANUFACTURED MAY 2005, SHOULD THAT MAKE A DIFFERENCE EVEN THOUGH MINE WAS MANUFACTURED ONE YEAR LATER AND STILL CAN HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM? JUST A NOTE, I HAVE YOUNG KIDS IN MY CAR. ANOTHER PROBLEM IS THE ENGINE, IN RESEARCHING I NOTICES THAT THERE HAVE BEEN A LOT OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT RUSTING ENGINE MOUNTS OR BREAKING OF ENGINE MOUNTS. AS MAY COMPLAINTS THAT I HAVE READ, I BELIEVE THAT THERE SHOULD BE A RECALL. I HAVE AN ENGINE MOUNT THAT IS RUSTED AND WORN OUT. FOR THE SAFETY OF ALL THE 900 AND SOMETHING COMPLAINTS IN FORUMS, I BELIEVE THIS SHOULD BE FIXED. I ALSO BELIEVE THAT MY 2006 PACIFICA SHOULD BE IN THE STALLING RECALL NOTICE AND BE FIXED ALSO. ONE YEAR APART SHOULD NOT BE JUDGED IN A ISSUES. THIS HAPPENS A LOT AN MANY DATES, BUT I CAN ONLY PUT ONE.

I AM PROUD OWNER OF A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AND REGULARLY HAD IT SERVICED. WITH NO WARNING AT ALL, I WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I AM ASTONISHED THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THE CAR, YET IT WAS LIMITED TO A VERY FEW OF THE CARS. MY MECHANIC SAID HE HASN'T EVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT EVEN ON CARS 30 YEARS OLD! POTENTIAL INJURY/DEATH TO OCCUPANT AND OTHERS USING THE ROADS IF THE CRADLE FAILS AND ENGINE DROPS OUT WHILE DRIVING.CHRYSLER HAS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH PACIFICA'S SUSPENSIONS AND KNOWINGLY KEEPS THIS INFO FROM OWNERS AND REFUSES TO MAKE THE REPAIRS ( EST $5,023.86)S. BY THIS ACTION IT KNOWINGLY PUT OWNERS AT GRAVE RISK AND FINANCIAL DIFFICULTY. PEOPLE ARE LEFT WITH VEHICLES WITH NO RESALE VALUE AND THE RISK OF GREAT HARM.

BROUGHT OUR 2006 PACIFICA IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE AND TIRE REPAIR. WAS TOLD THE SUBFRAME HAS ROTTED AWAY. OUR MECHANIC SAID HE PERSONALLY WOULD NOT TOO MANY MILES ON THE CAR AND THE REPAIRS WOULD COST ANYWHERE FROM $3,000 - $5,000.

PURCHASED CAR USED WITH LESS THAN 85K MILES. WHEN I WENT TO GET IT STATE INSPECTED 1 WEEK AFTER PURCHASE I WAS INFORMED THAT THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED OUT. REPAIR ESTIMATES RANGE FROM $3300 TO OVER $4000. THE CAR IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND UNDER 100K MILES. NO HELP FROM THE MANUFACTURER. MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME SITUATION. THIS COULD BE A POTENTIAL LIFE THREATENING SITUATION FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY. CAR IS WORTH AS MUCH AS THE REPAIRS. THE MANUFACTURER SHOULD BE MADE TO MAKE THIS RIGHT. BAD PRODUCT. EVEN PARTIAL HELP WITH THE REPAIRS WOULD HELP. VERY DISAPPOINTED IN "AMERICAN MADE".

THE ENGINE FRAME IS RUSTING OUT. THE REST OF THE FRAME IS COMPLETELY FINE, BUT NOW I NEED TO HAVE THE ENGINE CRADLE COMPLETELY REPLACED.

THE ENGINE/SUSPENSION CROSSMEMBER IS SEVERELY RUSTED THROUGH. THIS TYPE OF CORROSION IS NOT EVIDENT ELSEWHERE ON THE VEHICLE FRAME, ONLY ON THIS CROSSMEMBER. THIS PROBLEM HAS GAINED NATIONAL ATTENTION FOR AT LEAST TWO YEARS YET CHRYSLER HAS CHOSEN NOT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A MANUFACTURING DEFECT; NAMELY INADEQUATE ANTI-CORROSION COATING THICKNESS. I SPOKE TO A CHRYSLER REPRESENTATIVE TODAY AND THEY OFFERED NO ASSISTANCE WITH THE $3,050 REPAIR/REPLACEMENT COST OF THIS FAILED COMPONENT. I HAVE ALL OF MY VEHICLE SERVICE DONE AT A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. I'VE HAD THEM INSPECT FOR THIS DEFECT IN THE PAST BUT THERE WERE PREVIOUSLY NO REPORTED ISSUES. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS IN FOR ROUTINE OIL CHANGE YESTERDAY, THE MECHANIC WARMED ME OF THE NOW OBVIOUSLY UNSAFE SITUATION. IN FACT, I NORMALLY PURCHASE A MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT THROUGH THE DEALERSHIP THAT LASTS TWO YEARS. THEY DECLINED TO SELL ME THE CONTRACT SITING THAT THE ENGINE COULD POSSIBLY FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE WITHIN THAT TIME. I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER COULDN'T EVEN OFFER TO DISCOUNT THIS SIZABLE REPAIR BILL. I'VE FOUND NUMEROUS NEWS STORIES ONLINE ABOUT THIS EXACT SAME SAFETY ISSUE OCCURRING AROUND THE US YET NOTHING SEEMS TO BE DONE ABOUT IT. WHY?
