ENGINE CARDLE ( SUBFRAME) WAS RUSTED OUT AND MECHANICE SUGGESTED ITS NOR SAFE TO DRIVE. ACCORDING TO MECHANICS AND COMPLAINS FIELED ON THIS WEB SITE ITS A COMMON ISSUE WITH THIS VEHICLS AND IT WILL CAUS CRASHES SOON.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE SERVICE ENGINE WARNING LIGHT FLICKERED AND THE VEHICLE OVERHEATED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BY REPLACING THE HOSE. THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE/SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED WITH HOLES AND COULD FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO OVER THREE INDEPENDENT MECHANICS WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE/SUBFRAME NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 210,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE AT A COMPLETE STOP AND ATTEMPTING TO ACCELERATE, THE VEHICLE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WOULD JERK ON SOME OCCASIONS PRIOR TO THE FAILURE.THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS ABLE TO RESTART AFTER SEVERAL ATTEMPTS WITH A HARD START. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO BE DIAGNOSED, BUT THE DETAILS OF THE FAILURE COULD NOT BE PROVIDED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000.

UPON REGULAR MAINTENANCE, THE AUTO MECHANIC DISCOVERED MY 2006 PACIFICA ENGINE CRADLE FRAME IS TOTALLY RUSTED OUT. HE ADVISED ME THE COST OF REPAIR IS SO HIGH THAT IT IS NOT WORTH TO REPAIR. HE FURTHER REQUIRED ME TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT MY CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE. THIS IS VERY UNUSUAL TO HAVE A SUBFRAME RUSTED THOUGH THE WHOLE METAL FRAME SINCE THE CAR WAS ALWAYS KEPT IN MARYLAND, WE HARDLY HAVE ANY SNOW IN THE LAST 10 YEARS. FROM THE SEARCH ON THE INTERNET, IT TURNS OUT THAT THIS SUBFRAME PROBLEM AFFECTED WAS COMMON IN MANY PACIFICA ON THE ROAD. WE FELT FORTUNATE THAT THE ENGINE HAS NOT DROPPED ON THE GROUND AND LEAD TO A FATAL CRASH. WHY THERE IS NOT RECALL ON THESE PACIFICAS .

ENGINE CRADLE HAS RUSTED THRU. MECHANIC HAS SUGGESTED I NOT DRIVE VEHICLE FOR MY SAFETY. SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AT CHRYSLER WHO INDICATED THAT THERE WAS A SAFETY BULLETIN ISSUED ACKNOWLEDGING AND ADDRESSING THE ISSUE, BUT THAT THE YEAR OF MY VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN THE SAFETY BULLETIN. VEHICLE WAS PURCHASED USED FROM A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP.

PURCHASED FROM PRIVATE OWNER IN AUG 2015. ON SEPT. 10 2015 TOOK IT IN TO SHOP FOR ROTOR AND BRAKE REPAIR AND WAS TOLD TO PARK IT BECAUSE THE SUB CRADLE IS ALMOST ROTTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH. I AM A SINGLE PARENT WITH 2 CHILDREN AND CANNOT AFFORD THE REPAIR OF THIS. ALREADY OWNING ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT, I'M VERY DISAPPOINTED THAT CHRYSLER WOULD BE WILLING TO FIX 04-05 MODELS WITH THE EXACT SAME ISSUE AND NOT AN 06. CALLED THE SERVICE NUMBER AT CHRYSLER TWICE AND WAS TOLD 06 COULD NOT BE REPAIRED UNDER THEIR RECALL. NOW I'M STUCK WITH AN AUTO THAT THE BODY AND ENGINE ARE TOTALLY SOLID AND GREAT LOOKING BUT ENGINE IS READY TO FALL OUT. SOMEONE HELP PLEASE!

THE PACIFICA FLOOR SHIFTER WILL NOT SHIFT OUT OF PARK. THE PROBLEM IS EXACTLY THE SAME AS HAS BEEN RECALLED FOR THE (2005-2007) CHRYSLER 300, DODGE CHARGER, AND MAGNUM (CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SATISFACTION NOTIFICATION CODE K39), BUT IS NOT LISTED FOR THE PACIFICA. THE TRANSMISSION SHIFTER INTERLOCK LEVER SPRING HOOK BREAKS AND PREVENTS THE SHIFTER FROM SHIFTING OUT OF PARK. THIS DEFECT IS NOTED FREQUENTLY ON THE CHRYSLER FORUMS (CHRYSLERFORUM.COM).

TL* THE CONTACT OWNED A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING 35 MPH, THE CONTACT CRASHED INTO THE REAR OF ANOTHER VEHICLE. THE AIR BAGS DEPLOYED CAUSING A BURN ONTO THE CONTACT'S HAND. AS A RESULT, THE CONTACT REQUIRED MEDICAL ATTENTION. A POLICE REPORT WAS FILED. THE VEHICLE WAS DESTROYED. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 80,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

THE CRADLE RUSTED THROUGH ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE. WAS DISCOVERED DURING AN OIL CHANGE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDERGOING ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE INDEPENDENT MECHANIC DISCOVERED THAT THE ENTIRE SUBFRAME WAS CORRODED AND RUSTED. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO OPERATE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 76,000.

MY SUB-FRAME IS RUSTING OUT ON MY CAR. I SEE THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT REGARDING THIS HAZARDOUS CONDITION. BY DOING RESEARCH, I UNDERSTAND THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE CAN FALL OUT. I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING.

A FEW WEEKS BEFORE THIS HAPPENED, I NOTICED MY REAR TIRE LEANING OUTWARD. TOOK IT TOO THE SHOP A FEW TIMES WONDERING WHAT WAS THE CAUSE. IT WAS DETERMINED FROM A DEALERSHIP IT WAS THE STRUTS. I WAS TOLD THE PACIFICA WAS KNOWN FOR IT. SO I HAD THE STRUTS REPLACED. IT HELPED BUT THE TIRE WAS STILL LEANING, IT WASN'T PERFECT LIKE THE REST. I WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS NO OTHER REASON BECAUSE EVERYTHING LOOKED GOOD UNDERNEATH AND SUSPENSION. I LOOKED SEVERAL TIMES, MYSELF. NOT SEEING ANY MAJOR RUST OR ANYTHING UNSAFE. THEN DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY 150 MILE'S FROM HOME, AT 70 MPH, A HARD BANG AND THE REAR END LIFTED UP AND DROPPED DOWN. CAR UNCONTROLLABLE. FINALLY ABLE TO STOP AND REALIZE THE SUBFRAME DROPPED RIGHT OUT OF THE CAR LEAVING MY REAR DIFFERENTIAL ON THE GROUND. IT HAD RUSTED FROM THE TOP OF THE SUBFRAME DOWN. LOOKED ON LINE AND SEEN IT WAS HAPPENING TO OTHER PEOPLE. CALLED CHRYSLER WAS TOLD MY PROBLEM. HENCE MY FIRST AMERICAN MADE CAR AND MY LAST. POS!!!

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE PREMATURELY RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT IT WAS CORRODED AND MAY FRACTURE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO A MECHANIC, WHO INSPECTED AND DIAGNOSED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 163,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS AT AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHECK, THE TECHNICIAN NOTICED THAT THE FRONT END FRAME THAT HELD THE ENGINE WAS CORRODED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 102,000. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

WHEN TAKING MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TO BE SERVICED FOR BROKEN MOTOR MOUNT. MY VEHICLE WAS BROUGHT IN THE SHOP, NOT EVEN 30 MINUTES PASSED AND I WAS CONTACTED IMMEDIATELY BY THE MECHANIC, THAT IN THE PROCESS OF REPLACING MY MOTOR MOUNT HE NOTICED THAT MY CRADLE WAS ROTTED OUT AND VERY UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THIS WAS A VERY IMPORTANT COMPONENT ON MY VEHICLE, (STEERING, ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND ECT.) ARE BEING HELD UP BY THE CRADLE, AND THE MECHANIC STATED THAT THE ENGINE CAN FALL OUT AT ANYTIME! I AM IN FEAR FOR MY FAMILY AND I, TO KNOW THAT WE TRAVEL AT HIGH SPEEDS ON THE FREE WAY. WE LIVE IN A CITY WHERE THERE ARE MANY POT HOLES AND CRATERS IN THE STREETS WE DRIVE ON, AND TO KNOW THAT WE CAN BE IN DANGER IS INSANE. HE QUOTED ME AROUND $3,000 TO REPAIR AND I CANNOT AFFORD TO COVER THIS ISSUE. THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING DONE BY THE CHRYSLER CORP. HOPEFULLY THIS SPEAKS FOR MANY OWNERS OF THIS SAME VEHICLE.

I TOOK THE CAR IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THE SUBFRAME WAS CORRODED. I WAS TOLD TO TAKE IT TO A DEAL TO HAVE IT INSPECTED. THE DEALER VERIFIED THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS RUSTED AND UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I CHECKED FOR RECALLS AND THERE WEREN'T ANY FOR 2006. THERE WERE RECALLS FOR 2004 AND 2005 WITH THE SAME PROBLEM STATING THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS NOT PROPERLY COATED WHICH RESULTED IN THE RUST. THEY STATED THERE WAS A HIGHER INCIDENCE OF RUST IN SALT BELT STATES WHICH APPLIES TO THIS VEHICLE. THERE IS ALSO A CLASS ACTION SUIT FOR VEHICLES FROM 2004-2008. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE, THEY INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS NO RECALL FROM 2006 AND THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO TO HELP. THEY FELT AS THOUGH THE PROBLEM HAD BEEN CORRECTED. I DISAGREE SINCE THE SAME PROBLEM OCCURRED A YEAR LATER. I FEEL AS THOUGH CHRYSLER IS RESPONSIBLE AND SHOULD CORRECT THIS PROBLEM.

MY REGULAR AUTOMOBILE SERVICE COMPANY RECENTLY COMPLETED A REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT OF THE FRONT BRAKE COMPONENTS ON MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. UPON ROUTINE INSPECTION OF THE VEHICLE'S UNDERCARRIAGE, THEY IDENTIFIED SEVERE CORROSION OF THE "ENGINE CRADLE". THEY ADVISED THAT ENGINE CRADLE WAS IN VERY POOR CONDITION AND THAT FAILURE WAS LIKELY IN THE NEAR FUTURE CAUSING THE ENGINE TO DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE. I IMMEDIATELY CONTACTED THE CHRYSLER/DODGE DEALERSHIP WHERE I PURCHASED THE CAR. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY WERE AWARE OF A PROBLEM WITH THE ENGINE CRADLES IN THAT MODEL YEAR PACIFICA, BUT THAT THERE CURRENTLY WAS NO RECALL TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM. I WAS QUOTED $3,000.00 TO REPLACE THE ENGINE CRADLE, WHICH I CAN NOT AFFORD. MY COMPLAINT IS THAT IF THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, WHY IS THERE NO RECALL OR ANY OTHER APPARENT EFFORT TO CORRECT THE PROBLEM? THE VEHICLE IS IN OTHERWISE GOOD SHAPE AND RUNS WELL, BUT I AM AFRAID OF DRIVING IT, CONCERNED THAT MY FAMILY OR I COULD BE SERIOUSLY INJURED. CAN YOU ASSIST ME?

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN FOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE, THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALER STATED THAT THERE WAS SEVERE RUST ON THE ENTIRE SUB FRAME OF THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 105,000. UPDATED 09/18/15*LJ *CN

WAS PULLING OUT TO CROSS A STREET AND CAR CUT OFF. I WAS CROSSING TRAFFIC AND STOPPED TO ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THE INCIDENT TOOK PLACE TWICE. ONLY THE 2ND TIME DID I ALMOST GET HIT BY ANOTHER VEHICLE. CURRENTLY CAR IS AT A CHRYSLER DEALER. THE PROBLEM IS I COULD HAVE BEEN HIT BY ONCOMING TRAFFIC.

THE CAR WAS BROUGHT TO DEALERSHIP FOR A REPAIR ON A FUEL INJECTOR AND THROTTLE BODY. WHILE DIAGNOSING THE PROBLEM IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SUB FRAME IS RUSTED AND NEEDS TO BE REPLACED/REPAIRED. THE COST OF THIS REPAIR WOULD BE $2495. WE WERE TOLD THAT THIS HAS BEEN A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS MODEL.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE FAILED TO PROPERLY DETECT THE FUEL LEVELS AFTER A HALF TANK. THE VEHICLE WAS PREVIOUSLY REPAIRED UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE DEALER WAS NOT ABLE TO DETERMINE THE CAUSE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS APPROXIMATELY 195,260. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE.

DISCOVERED EXCESSIVE RUST ON THE SUBFRAME AND UNDERBODY MEMBERS AFTER TRYING TO DIAGNOSE A PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING. SPECIFICALLY, A "CLICKING" NOISE HAD APPEARED UNEXPECTEDLY DURING TURNING AND THE STEERING WHEEL HAD UNDUE RESISTANCE WHILE TURNING. AFTER CHECKING FOR TIRE PROBLEMS AND OTHER ISSUES, A MECHANIC DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM AS A SUBFRAME FAILURE DUE TO EXCESSIVE RUST. HE MENTIONED THAT IF THE RUST PROGRESSED TOO FAR, THE ENGINE COULD LITERALLY FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE WHILE I WAS DRIVING. THIS ISSUE DEMANDS A RECALL. UPDATED 09/15/15*LJ UPDATED 12/12/2017*CN

SEVERELY RUSTED SUB FRAME UNDER THE ENGINE. ADVISED BY REPAIR FACILITY THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE RUST DAMAGE TO THE SUB FRAME. THIS WAS A HIDDEN DEFECT THAT I WOULD NOT HAVE HAD KNOWLEDGE OF IF I HAD NOT PURCHASED A SAFETY INSPECTION. BECAUSE OF THIS ISSUE THE VEHICLE FAILED A MD SAFETY INSPECTION. ADVISED THAT REQUIRED REPAIRS WILL BE OVER $2500.

UPDATE ON EARLIER REPORT. HAD AN INDEPENDENT SEVICE STATION CHECK CONDITION OF RUSTING ENGINE CRADLE ON 7/21/15. MECHANIC REPORTED THAT THE ROT DAMAGE IS A SAFETY ISSUE, CAR SHOULD NOT BE DRIVEN. REAR ENGINE CRADLE CROSS MEMBER RUSTING OUT OVER THE YEARS DRIVEN, UNKNOWN TO ME. ALSO BROUGHT CAR TO CHRYSLER SEVICE STATION FOR THEIR MECHANIC'S INSPECTION ON 7/ 27/15. REPORTED THAT THE CRADLE WAS VERY RUSTY. LARGE RUSTED OUT HOLES IN THE STUCTURE ARE VERY EASY TO SEE. I WAS TOLD THE CAR WAS O.K. TO DRIVE TODAY AND THAT THE ENGINE COULD FALL THROUGH AT ANY TIME LATER. NOT A SAFETY ISSUE ? WAS ALSO TOLD I COULD KEEP COMMING BACK REPETEDLY AT 52$ A POP TO HAVE THEM CHECK ON THE PROGRESSION OF THE ROT. QUOTED $2800 FOR REPAIR, CAR NOT WORTH THE COST, NOR CAN I AFFORD THE COST. I WAS RUSHED OUT OF THE SEVICE AREA AFTER BEING HANDED THE BILL. NO TALK ABOUT HOW THE CRADLE WAS MANUFACTURED POORLY, ONLY THAT I COULD SPRAY SOME TYPE OF RUST INHIBITOR ON THE EFFECTED AREAS. CHRYSLER HAS HAD MY THREE YOUNG CHILDREN AND WIFE SITTING IN A CAR THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED THEM SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH. I HAVE SINCE FOUND OUT THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE FAULTY PRODUCT AND CONTINUED TO PRODUCE MORE. I DEPENDED ON THIS CAR EVERYDAY , I WAS HAPPY WITH IT UNTILL NOW. I WAS HAPPY WITH CHRYSLER INTILL NOW, THEY NEED TO STEP-UP AND FIX WHAT THEY KNOW WAS NOT SAFE TO START WITH. MY CAR NOW SITS IN THE DRIVEWAY UNTILL I CAN TAKE FURTHER ACTION.

UNUSUAL HIGH AMOUNT OF RUST AND HOLES IN A FRAME FAILING NYS INSPECTION. AUTO IS ONLY 9 YEARS OLD.

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO FUEL PUMP MODULE AND/OR REPROGRAM PCM RECALL. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED THE PROBLEM OCCURRED LONG BEFORE THE RECALL WAS ISSUED. ONE DAY WHILE ATTEMPTING TO MAKE A TURN, THE VEHICLE STALLED. THEN THE FUEL GAUGE STARTED DROPPING IMMEDIATELY FROM HALF-FULL TO EMPTY. THE VEHICLE SAT AT THE DEALER FOR TWO WEEKS, WHILE THEY TRIED TO DIAGNOSE AND FIX THE PROBLEM. THE CONSUMER HAS SINCE SOLD THE VEHICLE. *JB UPDATED 11/20/15*LJ UPDATED 9/17/2017*CN

ABOUT 3 WEEKS I LET MY COUSIN USE CAR. SHE MADE IT TO INDY TWICE FROM FORT WAYNE, AND ONCE BACK HOME BEFORE I CAME TO GET CAR SHE STATED SHE HAD SET ALARM OFF AND THEN CAR WOULDN'T START. I HAD IT TOWED AND THEY COULDN'T FIND THE PROBLEM COMPLETELY BUT THOUGHT FUEL PUMP. CAR TURNS OVER PERFECT JUST WON'T FIRE. SO FUEL PUMP REPLACE AND ABOUT WEEK AND A HALF LATER IT'S STARTS TO NOT START UP ON FIRST IGNITE. SOMETIMES IT TAKES ME TWO-THREE TRIES THEN IT STARTS. ALSO SOMETHING WEIRD 2 TIMES WHILE PUMPING GAS AND LEAVING CAR ON, THE CAR SHUTS OFF AS SOON AS GAS STARTS FILLING. TODAY FOR THE 3RD TIME I STARTED PUMPING GAS AND MY CAR SHUT OFF BUT THIS TIME WOULDN'T START. IT ONCE AGAIN TURNS OVER BUT WON'T START. I HAD IT TOWED AGAIN!!!! ANY SUGGESTIONS? COULD 2006 CARS NEED RESET TO ON COMPUTER

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 55 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STARTED TO MAKE A JERKING MOTION. THE FAILURE RECURRED MULTIPLE TIMES. THE CONTACT ALSO STATED THAT THE VEHICLE SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING, AND WAS NOT ABLE TO BE RESTARTED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE MOTOR AND TRANSMISSION NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 85,000.

ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED THROUGH LOWER SECTION ON EACH END. NOTICED AT ONSET OF OIL CHANGE.

TRAVELING AT 35 - 40 MPH AND CARS CAME TO A STOP AND NO MATTER HOW HARD I PUSHED THE BRAKES, THE CAR WOULD NOT STOP. STEERING WHEEL AND UNDER STEERING WHEEL AIRBAGS DEPLOYED, BURNING MY SHIN. UPON STARTING THE CAR AT THE BODY SHOP, THE DASHBOARD CAUGHT ON FIRE DUE TO THE AIRBAG MODULAR. FIRE DESTROYED MY VEHICLE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE RUSTED AND CAUSED THE ENGINE TO FALL OUT OF THE VEHICLE.

THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 106,000.

I HAVE HAD TWO DIFFERENT CHRYSLER DEALERSHIPS TELL ME THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THROUGH TO THE POINT OF BEING A SAFETY CONCERN. I'M THE ORIGINAL OWNER OF THE 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA AWD LIMITED EDITION AND THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE ANY RUST ON IT, AND IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION WITH 165,000 MILES ON IT, EXCEPT FOR THE ENGINE CRADLE WHICH HAS RUSTED COMPLETELY THROUGH ON BOTH SIDES. THE DEALERSHIPS BOTH QUOTED OVER $3,000 FOR THE REPAIR. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER HEAD QUARTERS AND WAS TOLD A LIMITED RECALL OF SOME 2004-2005 PACIFICA'S WAS ISSUED, BUT NOTHING COULD BE DONE FOR MY 2006. SEARCHING THE INTERNET I FIND COMPLAINTS FROM THOUSANDS OF PACIFICA OWNERS WITH MODELS RANGING FROM 2004-2008 ALL WITH THIS SAME ISSUE. GIVEN THE ENGINE COULD DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY MOMENT ON THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES I FIND IT IRRESPONSIBLE THE NHTSA HAS NOT FORCED CHRYSLER TO CORRECT THE SITUATION. THANKFULLY THIS COUNTRY HAS LAWYERS WHO CAN ACT WHEN GOVERNMENT FAILS TO PROTECT THE PEOPLE AND A CLASS ACTION LAW SUIT HAS BEEN FILED IN OHIO BY CLARK, PERDUE, AND LIST LPA.

SO ONCE AGAIN THIS CAR IS HAVING ISSUES WITH THE FUEL PUMP SYSTEM. I HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA (86616) AND ONE DAY WHEN DRIVING MY CAR JUST STALLED OUT AND WOULD NOT START FOR QUITE SOME TIME. I TOOK IT TO A CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP HERE IN BAYTOWN AND WAS TOLD THAT THE PLASTIC EVAP LINE MAY HAVE BROKEN DUE TO A DESIGN FLAW OF THE LINE BEING NOT ONLY TOO SHORT BUT ALSO MADE OF A HARDEN PLASTIC THAT IS SUPPOSED TO BE RUBBER INSTEAD. I WAS LUCK ENOUGH TO BE BY MYSELF BUT IF I HAD MY GOD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME IT WOULD HAVE BEEN WORST OR I COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED. NOW CHRYSLER WANTS CLOSE TO $800 TO FIX THE ISSUE WHEN IN FACT THIS WAS A DESIGN FLAW TO BEGIN WITH FROM THE START. I AM HIGHLY UPSET AND ALSO SCARED TO DRIVE ANY CHRYSLER CAR BECAUSE OF THE PISS POOR DESIGN AND WANT TO KNOW WHAT AND IF CHRYSLER WILL EVEN DO ANYTHING TO HELP ME AND MY MOM OUT.

WE HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN 2008 WITH 26K MILES. IN 2011 WE STARTED EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS. SIMULTANEOUSLY, WE CAME UP WITH CODES P0700, P0420 AND P0456 AND HAVE HAD TO HAVE THE TRANSMISSION REBUILT , THE CATALYST CONVERTER REPLACED AND NEW FUEL PUMP DUE TO THE EVAP LEAK. IN A MATTER OF MONTHS, WE SPENT $5,900 ON REPAIRS AND IN ORDER FOR THE CAR TO PASS INSPECTION. WE WERE STILL MAKING PAYMENTS ON THIS CAR AND AFTER CONTACTING CHRYSLER REPEATEDLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE RESPONSIBLE, SO WE WERE FORCED TO MAKE THESE REPAIRS. AFTER FURTHER RESEARCH, WE FOUND THAT MANY PACIFICAS HAD MANY OF THE SAME PROBLEMS THAT WE WERE EXPERIENCING AND THAT CHRYSLER REFUSED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THE ISSUES.WE HAVE HAD ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS WITH THE POWER SEATS, BLUETOOTH , SIDE VIEW MIRRORS. THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM SHORTENS THE LIFE OF THE BATTERY AND WE HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THE BATTERY PREMATURELY SEVERAL TIMES. NOW WE NEED AN ABS SENSOR, AND THE CAR LEAKS IN THROUGH THE FRONT WINDOW SEALS ON BOTH SIDES WHEN IT RAINS. WE HAVE JUST FOUND OUT WHEN WE HAD THE CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, THAT OUR ENGINE CRADLE(SUB FRAME) IS RUSTED AND IS A HAZARD TO DRIVE AND WILL COST APPROXIMATELY $2,500 TO REPLACE! WE JUST MADE OUR LAST PAYMENT ON THIS CAR AS WE FOUND THIS INFORMATION OUT. WE HAVE ALSO FOUND OUT THAT MANY PACIFICAS HAVE THIS RUSTING PROBLEM AND CHRYSLER DID ACKNOWLEDGE THIS FOR 2004 & 2005 MODELS BUT NOT AFTER. WE ARE AWARE THAT THERE IS A CLASS ACTION SUIT AND

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHEN THE FUEL GAUGE REACHED HALF FULL, THE VEHICLE WOULD SUDDENLY STALL. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL PUMP MODULE WAS FAULTY AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE CONTACT WAS INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE WAS NOT INCLUDED IN NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 06V432000 (FUEL SYSTEM). THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE VEHICLE EXPERIENCED THE SAME FAILURE LISTED IN THE RECALL. THE VIN WAS INVALID. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 60,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING AT 45 MPH, THE ENGINE AND THE FUEL CAP WARNING LIGHTS ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE LOST FUEL PRESSURE AND THE VIPER FUEL TANK RELEASED FUEL UNDER THE VEHICLE. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE FUEL LINE FRACTURED AND THE PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 185,000.

I WAS INFORMED BY ANOTHER CONSUMER THAT THE FRONT END AND ENGINE CRADLE, IN MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA ARE RUSTING. THIS RUST PROBLEM IS CAUSING THE ENGINE TO ACTUAL FALL OUT OF VEHICLES. AFTER HEARING OF THIS, I HAD TWO DIFFERENT MECHANICS CHECK MY VEHICLE. AFTER BOTH INSPECTIONS I WAS TOLD MY VEHICLE IS SEVERELY RUSTED AND IS NOT GOING TO BE SAFE TO DRIVE FOR MUCH LONGER. THE ESTIMATED TIME FRAME I WAS GIVEN IS BETWEEN 6-12 MONTHS. IT WAS SUGGESTED THAT I DRIVE LOCAL ONLY AND HAVE IT REINSPECTED EVERY THREE MONTHS FOR MY SAFETY. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER'S RECALL CENTER ONLY TO FIND OUT THERE ARE CURRENTLY NO RECALLS ISSUED AT THIS TIME FOR MY VEHICLE AND THEY DO NOT EXPECT THERE TO BE ANY. I CALLED DIRECTLY TO THE CHRYSLER CO. TO HEAR THE SAME THING THAT THE RECALL CENTER TOLD ME AND THAT THEY HAVE NO INTENTIONS OF HELPING PEOPLE THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM. AT THIS POINT I AM UNABLE TO AFFORD THE HIGH COST OF REPAIRS AND WILL SOON BE OUT OF A ROAD SAFE VEHICLE.

THE CAR SINCE ALMOST NEW HAS HAD AN INTERMITTENT PROBLEM WITH THE STEERING LOCKING UP HAS HAPPENED MANY TIMES TURNING SLOWLY AND HAS HAPPENED NUMEROUS TIMES AT SPEEDS TO 40 MPH AND THE ONLY WAY TO TURN IT IS TO SHUT IT OFF AND RESTART VERY DANGEROUS CONDITION. I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF THIS COMPLAINT HAS BEEN FILED BY OTHER OWNERS. THANKS.

ROCKER ARM FAILURE, REQUIRING REPLACEMENT ON BOTH SIDES. SEARCHED INTERNET AND IS A KNOWN FAILURE WITH MANY PACIFICA CONSUMERS. RESPONSIBLE CAR MANUFACTURER SHOULD HAVE RECALLED. SAFETY HAZARD PRIMARY FUEL PUMP CRACK ON EXTERNAL FUEL PUMP NOZZLE. EXTERNAL HOSE CONNECTING PRIMARY AND SECONDARY FUEL PUMPS ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE WAS ~3-5 CM TOO SHORT. HOSE WAS STRETCHED TO CONNECT FUEL PUMPS, EVENTUALLY CAUSING THE CONNECTOR NOZZLE TO CRACK (BREAK) AND LEAK FUEL. HOSE REPLACEMENT PART HAS BEEN MODIFIED, BUT OWNERS OF ORIGINAL MANUFACTURE WOULD NEVER BE AWARE OF THIS UNTIL/UNLESS SPECIFIC SERVICE IS PERFORMED. RESULT = COSTLY REPAIR TO REPLACE BOTH FUEL PUMP AND HOSE.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. WHILE DRIVING AT VARIOUS SPEEDS, THE VEHICLE DRIFTED TO THE RIGHT.

THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED; HOWEVER, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 90,000.

FRAME AT MOTOR MOUNTS HAS SIGNIFICANT RUST. REST OF CAR IS VERY GOOD SHAPE WITH NO RUST. THE DRIVERS SIDE HAS MORE DAMAGE THAN PASSENGER BUT BOTH SIDE HAVE A GOOD REAL OF RUST IN THE ENGINE CRADLE AREA

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 130,000.

ENGINE CRADLE HAS ROTTED OUT AT ONLY 88,550 MILES. THE ROT IS SO BAD YOU CAN LITERALLY PUSH THROUGH THE BOTTOM WITH YOUR FINGERS, CAUSING SEVERELY UNSTABLE STEERING/STOPPING/TURNING/ACCELERATING. THERE IS NO RUST ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE CAR. CHRYSLER WAS CONTACTED AND I WAS TOLD THAT "ITS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY" AND THAT "OUR DECISION IS FINAL" VIA EMAIL. THERE ARE HUNDREDS OF THESE VEHICLES OUT THERE WITH THIS ISSUE AND IT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED ASAP BY CHRYSLER.

MECHANIC INSPECTING VEHICLE FOR ANOTHER ISSUE NOTED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE HAD COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE & NEEDED EXPENSIVE REPAIRS. ENGINE WAS IN DANGER OF FALLING OUT OF THE CAR. CHRYSLER IS AWARE OF THIS PROBLEM BUT HAS DECIDED TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT. *TR

I RECENTLY BOUGHT A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA TOURING WITH UNDER 87,000 MILES. WHEN I WENT TO HAVE THE STATE INSPECTION PERFORMED I WAS INFORMED BY THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS CAR WILL NOT PASS INSPECTION DUE TO THE EXCESSIVE AMOUNT OF RUST ON THE ENGINE CRADLE. WE WERE INFORMED THAT THE VEHICLE IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AND NEEDS OVER $3,600 OF REPAIR WORK DONE. I AM A SINGLE MOTHER AND CAN NOT AFFORD THAT KIND OF REPAIR COST. I FIND IT CRAZY THAT A CAR UNDER 10 YEARS OLD SHOULD HAVE THIS KIND OF RUST DAMAGE. THE VISIBLE OUTSIDE OF THE CAR IS IN PERFECT SHAPE, BUT THE UNDERSIDE IS TOTALLY CORRODED! WHEN I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE TO SEE IF ANYONE ELSE HAS ENCOUNTERED THIS ISSUE, I WAS AMAZED AT THE NUMBER OF OTHER PEOPLE WHO HAVE ENCOUNTERED THIS SAME ISSUE. THIS CAR IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITH MY DAUGHTER, AS ONE GOOD POT HOLE COULD CAUSE THE ENGINE TO FALL OUT AND KILL BOTH OF US OR ANYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD AROUND US. I WILL PAYING FOR YEARS ON A CAR I CANT EVEN DRIVE NOR IN GOOD CONSCIENCE SELL TO SOMEONE ELSE. I FIND IT EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTING THAT CHRYSLER REFUSES TO STEP UP AND DO RIGHT BY ITS CUSTOMERS. IT WILL ONLY BE A MATTER OF TIME UNTIL SOMEONE IS KILLED BY THIS CAR. *TR
