2006 Chrysler Pacifica complaints

MY 2006 PACIFICA WAS JUST FOUND TO HAVE SIGNIFICANT ENGINE CRADLE RUST/CORROSION ISSUES. THIS PROBLEM JUST SURFACED IN THE LAST 12 MONTHS. IT IS CLEAR THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT APPROPRIATELY HANDLING THE ISSUE SINCE THEY ARE NOT COVERING THE REPAIR AND THERE APPEARS TO BE NUMEROUS COMPLAINTS ADDRESSING THIS SAME PROBLEM. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE FRONT ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED AND NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE CONTACT HAD NOT NOTIFIED THE MANUFACTURER OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE MILEAGE AT TIME OF FAILURE WAS 97,000. UPDATED 8/22/14*CN

RUST ISSUE ON FRONT ENGINE CRADLE. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME THAT I HAD A BADLY CORRODED ENGINE CRADLE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT JUST TURNED 71K MILES. DEALER DENIED THE RECALL, THERE IS A SMALL WINDOW OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN FEB.23, 2004 AND MARCH 31,2004, A PRETTY SMALL WINDOW. A COUPLE OF CALLS TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE HAS FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER ARE NOT BUDGING. IT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT FULLY STANDING BEHIND. FOR REFERENCE, THE CHRYSLER WARRANTY BULLETIN IS NO:D-10-34 DATED MARCH 16, 2012. SUBJECT IS LISTED AS (X26) FRONT ENGINE CRADLE EXTENDED WARRANTY 2004-2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S. WE HAVE A 2006 AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THE MODELS AFFECTED! I HAVE 2 CHILDREN AND A WIFE AND WE DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE. MECHANIC STATES IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!!!! I CANNOT GET ANY EXPLANATION AS TO QUITE WHY THAT IS FROM CHRYSLER DESPITE NUMEROUS CONTACTS WITH THE CUSTOMER CARE PEOPLE FROM CHRYSLER AND/OR DEALERSHIP. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY TYPE OF DAMAGE SUCH AS THIS. WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM? THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP. *TR

WE HAVE A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA THAT WE PURCHASED USED IN 2008. THE CAR STALLS WHEN TURNING LIKE THE 2004-2005 MODELS THAT HAD A RECALL F44. WE CONTACTED CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE AT 800 992 1997AND FOUND OUT THAT THE PREVIOUS OWNER HAD TAKEN THE CAR IN FOR REPAIR DURING THE INITIAL RECALL. CHRYSLER CUSTOMER CARE TOLD US TO TAKE THE CAR BACK TO CHRYSLER BECAUSE IT IS COVERED UNDER THE SAFETY RECALL WARRANTY FOR 10 YEARS. WHEN WE TOOK THE CAR IN WE LEARNED THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE IS CORRODING ANOTHER RECALL X26. THE DEALER TOLD US IT WOULD COST A COUPLE OF THOUSAND DOLLARS TO REPAIR. ADDITIONALLY, WE WERE TOLD THAT WE NEED TWO NEW FUEL PUMPS AND THAT THIS IS NOT COVERED BY THE F44 RECALL BECAUSE OUR 2006 CAR IS OUTSIDE OF THE 2004 - 2005 MODEL YEAR RECALL TO REPLACE THE FUEL PUMPS. WE PAID THE DEALER THE COST OF THE SERVICE CHARGE $103 FOR THE INFORMATION AND WERE TOLD WE MIGHT CONSIDER BUYING A NEW CAR. I AM SURPRISED/FRUSTRATED AND ANGRY THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT TAKING ANY ACCOUNTABILITY FOR BOTH VERY DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUES AND IN ESSENCE MADE $103 PROFIT OFF OF THEIR NEGLIGENCE TO CREATE A SAFE CAR. *TR

DURING ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, SIGNIFICANT RUST-THROUGH WAS DISCOVERED ON ENGINE CRADLE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN GARAGED ALL ITS LIFE AND ONLY HAS 51,000 MILES. I SEE THROUGH INVESTIGATION THAT THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE 2004 AND THERE SEEMS TO BE NO HELP FROM CHRYSLER FOR THE 2006 MODEL YEAR. WELL MY DAYS OF BEING A "CHRYSLER AND DODGE MAN" ARE OVER! *TR

RUST ISSUE ON FRONT ENGINE CRADLE I AM FROM SOUTH CHARLESTON, WV RESIDENT AND RECENTLY DISCOVERED THROUGH MY DEALERS MECHANIC THAT I HAD A BADLY CORRODED ENGINE CRADLE. WE BOUGHT THE CAR USED AND IT JUST TURNED 100K MILES. DEALER DENIED THE RECALL, THERE IS A SMALL WINDOW OF VEHICLES MANUFACTURED BETWEEN FEB.23, 2004 AND MARCH 31,2004, A PRETTY SMALL WINDOW. A COUPLE OF CALLS TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER ASSISTANCE HAS FALLEN ON DEAF EARS. THE DEALER AND CHRYSLER ARE NOT BUDGING. IT IS NOT THE MONEY, IT IS THE PRINCIPLE OF A DESIGN PROBLEM THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT FULLY STANDING BEHIND. FOR REFERENCE, THE CHRYSLER WARRANTY BULLETIN IS NO:D-10-34 DATED MARCH 16, 2012. SUBJECT IS LISTED AS (X26) FRONT ENGINE CRADLE EXTENDED WARRANTY 2004-2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S. WE HAVE A 2006 AND HAVE THE SAME ISSUE AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO RECALL ALL OF THE MODELS AFFECTED! I HAVE 3 CHILDREN AND A WIFE AND WE DEPEND ON THIS VEHICLE. ONLY HAD IT ONE YEAR AND COULDN'T GET IT PASS THE 1ST INSPECTION DUE TO THE RUSTED OUT CRACKED ENGINE CRADLE. MECHANIC STATES IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE!!!! I CANNOT GET ANY EXPLANATION AS TO QUITE WHY THAT IS FROM CHRYSLER DESPITE NUMEROUS CONTACTS WITH THE CUSTOMER CARE PEOPLE FROM CHRYSLER AND/OR DEALERSHIP. APPARENTLY MY BEST HOPE IS THAT IF I PAY FOR THE REPAIR MYSELF I MIGHT GET A REFUND LATER IF CHRYSLER DECIDES TO EXPAND THE GROUP OF COVERED VEHICLES. HELP US PLEASE THANK YOU *TR

I HAD MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION AND TWO PLACES ON MY SUBFRAME IT HAS RUSTED ALL THE WAY THROUGH THE FRAME. I KNOW THERE HAS BEEN AN EXTENDED WARRANTY LETTER SENT BY CHRYSLER TO ALL 2004-2005 PACIFICA OWNERS BUT THE 2006 PACIFICAS HAVE THE EXACT SAME SUBFRAME. I FILED A CASE WITH CHRYSLER'S CORPORATE OFFICES AND AM WAITING FOR THEIR RESPONSE. I HAVE ONLY 90K MILES AND MY CAR IS IN MINT CONDITION. OFTEN I AM ASKED IF IT IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING 30 MPH, THE CHECK ENGINE WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED AND THE VEHICLE STALLED. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE THE TECHNICIAN DIAGNOSED THAT THE PCM AND FUEL PUMP NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 150,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 151,000.

TOOK MY 2006 PACIFICA IN FOR INSPECTION. THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED THROUGH AND UNSAFE. I FOUND OUT THAT THERE IS EXTENDED COVERAGE ON SOME OF THESE CARS. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND WAS TOLD I SHOULD PAY FOR IT (2500.00) NOW AND SAVE MY RECEIPTS BECAUSE THERE MAY BE A RECALL SOMEDAY THAT WILL COVER MY CAR. THEY OBVIOUSLY KNOW THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM BUT ARE NOT STANDING BEHIND THEIR PRODUCT. I HAVE FOUND SEVERAL HUNDRED COMPLAINTS ON MULTIPLE WEBSITES ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE AND EVEN FOUND A PETITION ON CHANGE.ORG, WHICH I SIGNED. I ALSO FOUND THAT SEVERAL PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO PUT TOGETHER A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT, COUNT ME IN. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING IN REVERSE OUT OF A RESIDENTIAL GARAGE, THE ACCELERATOR BECAME STUCK WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER FOR DIAGNOSTIC TESTING. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 118,000. THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 119,500.

WHILE CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER ON OUR 2006 PACIFICA (PURCHASED NEW), I NOTICED THE START OF RUST-THROUGH ON THE ENGINE CRADLE/SUBFRAME. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME RUSTED PRIMARILY FROM THE INSIDE. DUE TO VISIBLE RUST, EVERY TWO YEARS I HAVE WIRE BRUSHED THE ACCESSIBLE PARTS OF THE SUBFRAME AND APPLIED AN AUTOMOTIVE UNDERCOATER. I PLAN TO CONTACT CHRYSLER ABOUT THIS BUT WOULD APPRECIATE KNOWING IF THEY HAVE MADE ANY ACCOMMODATION TO OTHER 2006 PACIFICA OWNERS FOR THIS PROBLEM. *JS

I OWN A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFIC. WHILE TRAVELING 35 MPH THE ABS LIGHTS, AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY A CHIME NOISE THAT SOUNDED THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE.THEN A TICKING NOISE PRIOR TO THE VEHICLE LOOSING ALL ELECTRICAL POWER, THIS HAPPENS EVERYDAY! THIS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION AND WHEN THIS HAPPENS I HAVE TO SIT AND WAIT FOR AWHILE, ONCE FOR MORE THAN 30 MIN THEN CAR CUTS BACK ON AND WORKS FINE UNTIL THE ABS LIGHTS, COME ON AND THE ENGINE LIGHT FOLLOWED BY THE CHIMES AND THE TICKING THE CAR CUTS OFF AGAIN. CAN NOT GET A MECHANIC TO FIX IT THEY HAVE TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO WAY TO FIX IT THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS ABOUT THE RECALL AND REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. I HAVE HAD THE BATTERY REPLACED. PROBLEM #2 IS THE MOUNTS THAT HOLD THE MOTOR ARE CORRODED AND RUSTED. I WAS TOLD THAT THIS IS ANOTHER DEFECT AND THERE HAVE BEEN INSTANCES WHERE THE MOTOR JUST FALLS OUT. TWO MOUNTS HAVE BEEN REPLACED BUT I STILL HEAR THE KNOCKING AND A PULLING SENSATION SOMETIMES. FIRST INCIDENT WAS IN JANUARY THE PAST TWO MONTHS IT HAPPENS EVERYDAY AT LEAST ONCE A DAY WHERE THE CAR JUST CUTS OFF. *JS

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFIC. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE TRAVELING 25 MPH THE ABS LIGHTS AND BRAKE LIGHTS ILLUMINATED, FOLLOWED BY A CHIME THAT SOUNDED THROUGH OUT THE VEHICLE.

THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 74,903 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE 75,139.

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, A MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS SEVERE RUST (50%) TO THE SUPPORT SYSTEM HOLDING UP THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILES. HE SAID THAT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, THAT, IF NOT REPAIRED, WOULD EVENTUALLY BREAK WAY AND THE ENGINE WOULD DROP OUT OF THE SUPPORT SYSTEM. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CARE, THE INTAKE OPERATOR BASICALLY READ FROM A SCRIPT AND STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PART WAS AFFECTED, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST ME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND OVER 700 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS THE THIRD CHRYSLER THAT I HAVE OWNED (AND MY SECOND PACIFICA) WITH 100% SATISFACTION UNTIL THIS POINT. UNLESS CHRYSLER DEALS WITH THIS ISSUE TO MY SATISFACTION AND MY SAFETY IS THEY FIRST CONCERN, I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE PART IN QUESTION AND INTEND TO PURSUE THIS ISSUE UNTIL IT IS FIXED! *TR

ON MARCH 20TH 2012 I WAS DRIVING HOME FROM WORK WHEN THE DRIVER SIDE STRUT MOUNT BROKE, SLIGHTLY ALLOWING THE STRUT TO DAMAGE MY HOOD AND BREAK MY INNER TIE ROD END. I IMMEDIATELY PARKED THE VEHICLE CALLED AAA AND HAD IT TOWED TO MY HOUSE. ON MARCH 23 I PURCHASED A NEW STRUT MOUNT AND ON THE 24TH REPLACED THE BROKEN ONE WITH THE NEW ONE. UNFORTUNATELY I DID THE WORK MYSELF AND DIDN'T NOTICE MY INNER TIE ROD BROKE. WHICH LED TO MY VEHICLE NEEDING TO BE CHECKED BY MY MECHANIC ABOUT 8 MONTHS LATER WHEN MY OUTER TIE ROD END GAVE WAY DAMAGING IN THE PROCESS THE WHEEL BEARINGS AND THE DRIVER SIDE AXLE. I HAD EVERYTHING FIXED AND RAN INTO NO MORE PROBLEMS UNTIL JULY 17TH 2013 WHEN MY FRONT END ALIGNMENT STARTED TO SLIP AND A NOTICEABLE KNOCKING NOISE STARTED COMING FROM MY FRONT END. I IMMEDIATELY SET UP AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE MY VEHICLE SERVICED AT KELLY CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP IN LEHIGH VALLEY AND THEY WERE ABLE TO GET ME IN A WEEK LATER. IT TOOK THEM ROUGHLY A WEEK TO FIX MY CAR. BUT THEY REPLACED MY UPPER ENGINE MOUNT, FRONT LOWER ENGINE MOUNT, L/F INNER OUTER TIE ROD ENDS AND REMOVED A DAMAGED EXHAUST SHIELD. BUT THEY STILL COULDN'T' TELL ME WHY MY ALIGNMENT WAS OFF AND WHAT THE KNOCKING NOISE WAS. TOWARDS THE END OF AUGUST MY PASSENGER SIDE STRUT MOUNT BROKE AND I HAD IT REPLACED RIGHT AWAY. THEN AGAIN IN NOVEMBER THIS TIME COMPLETELY RIPPING THROUGH THE HOOD. THEN AGAIN IN FEBRUARY, MARCH AND NOW TODAY 5/7/2014 I NOTICED THE PASSENGER SIDE STRUT MOUNT IS ON THE VERGE OF BREAKING

IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDED REPAIR AND QUOTED ME $4000.00 TO REPAIR!!!! THIS IS A MICHIGAN MADE CAR AND SHOULD NOT BE CORRODING SO QUICKLY! I BOUGHT THIS CAR USED WITH ~10,000MILES ON IT. ONLY PARKED IN GARAGE. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY ADMITTED THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE 2004 &2005 MODEL (AND THEY EXTENDED THE WARRANTY ON THEM).

I HAD THE BRAKES REPAIRED IN 2012; THE NEXT MONTH THE ABS LIGHT CAME ON AND THE SENSOR WAS REPLACED. TEN MONTHS LATER, THE SENSOR LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. I WAS TOLD IT WAS INSIGNIFICANT, THAT THE BRAKES ARE FINE. IN THE FALL OF 2013, I HAD THE CAR TOWED TO A SHOP BECAUSE IT TRIED TO ACCELERATE WHILE I WAS PRESSING THE BRAKES. I SPENT OVER $800.00 HAVING A BUNCH OF CODES CLEARED WITH THE TRANSMISSION AND OTHER THINGS. THE ENGINE LIGHT WAS OFF FOR A FEW DAYS BUT CAME BACK ON. THERE WAS AN ERROR THAT READ GAS CAP. I REPLACED THE GAS CAP BUT THE ENGINE LIGHT REMAINS ON. IN MARCH 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT CAME ON, I WAS TOLD THAT I NEEDED TO REPLACE THE CALIBERS BUT LATER WAS TOLD THAT I DIDN'T. I HAD SOMEONE ELSE TO CHECK AND THEY SAID THAT I NEEDED NEW FRONT BRAKES. I HAD THOSE REPLACED. ON 4/7/2014, I WAS LEAVING THE PARKING GARAGE AT THE DOCTOR'S OFFICE AND THE GAS PEDAL WAS STUCK. LUCKY FOR ME IT WAS ON A DOWNHILL SLOPE AND I WAS ABLE TO STOP AT THE STOP SIGN AND PUT THE CAR IN PARK AND PRESS THE ACCELERATOR TO UNSTICK IT. TODAY, APRIL 13, 2014 THE BRAKE LIGHT IS BACK ON AND THERE IS A NOISE IN THE FRONTEND. I LOVE MY CAR BUT IT JUST DOES NOT FEEL SAFE TO DRIVE. *JS

NO HELP FROM CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP. SAYS MILEAGE TOO HIGH, NO WARRANTY FOR DEFECT, BEYOND DEALERSHIP SCOPE OF CONCERN FOR CUSTOMER. *TR

AFTER HAVING $1600.00 OF FRONT END WORK ON MY VEHICLE THE MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT I SHOULD GET RID OF THIS CAR BECAUSE THE SUB FRAME IS SEVERELY ROTTED AND NOT SAFE. THIS SUB FRAME SUPPORTS THE WHOLE ENGINE AND IF IT FAILS THE ENGINE WILL COLLAPSE TO THE GROUND. THIS VEHICLE HAS BEEN WELL TAKEN CARE OF AND THERE IS NO ROT AT ALL ON ANY OTHER PART OF THE CAR. I'VE RESEARCHED THIS VEHICLE AND THERE WAS A RECALL FOR THE 2004 AND 2005 MODELS. I'VE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH THESE VEHICLES MADE IN EVERY YEAR NOT JUST 2004-2005. I'VE CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAY NO HELP IS AVAILABLE. IT IS DEFECTIVE STEEL THAT WAS USED AND I'VE HAD MUCH OLDER CARS THAT THE FRAME HASN'T ROTTED THROUGH AND I FEEL IT'S A DEADLY ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN. *TR

MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 89000 MILES ON IS A TIME BOMB DO TO CORROSION OF THE ENGINE CRADLE,MY MECHANIC CALL CHRYSLER DEALER TO SEE IF THERE WAS ANY RECALL ON IT AND WAS TOLD NO.I CONTACT CHRYSLER MY SELF TO SEE IF THEIR WILL HELP WITH THE COST THE ANSWER SORRY NO WARRANTY GOOD LUCK WITH THE REPAIR ,I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NOBODY DUE, SOME THINK CHRYSLER DEFINITELY WONT DO NOTHING ABBOT THEIR PRODUCT. UNTIL SOME BODY DIE. *TR

THIS ISSUE HAS NOW HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES. WHILE DRIVING THE CAR, IT WILL COMPLETELY SHUTDOWN (STALL). I HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET THE CAR OVER TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD EVERY TIME. I CAN TURN THE KEY OFF AND THEN RESTART THE VEHICLE WITHOUT ISSUE. *TR

I JUST GOT MY 06 PACIFICA LAST MARCH WITH 87000 I WENT TO GET IT INSPECTED AND IT FAILED EMISSIONS FOR CATALYTIC CONVERTER AND THE INSPECTION BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE IS SEVERELY ROTTED TO THE POINT IT IS A SAFETY HAZARD. I CALLED THE DEALERSHIP I BOUGHT IT FROM AND THEY SAID IT WAS JUST REPLACED BEFORE I BOUGHT IT SO THAT'S TWO CONVERTERS IN A LITTLE OVER A YEAR. THEN MY ENGINE CRADLE IS SO ROTTED THAT THERE'S A HUGE HOLE IN IT. I CALLED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THERE IS ONLY A RECALL ON 2004-2005 BUT YET ALL THERE OTHER CARS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM BUT THEY WON'T HELP! NOW HERE I AM A YEAR INTO OWNING THIS CAR STILL OWE 6000$ FOR MY LOAN AND MY CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE IN BECAUSE CHRYSLER FAILS TO WANT TO HELP THERE CUSTOMERS AND BACK THERE PRODUCTS UP. CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP EVEN ADMITS THIS IS A ISSUE BUT THE COMPANY WON'T FIX IT! I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT TO DO! *TR

TL* THE CONTACT 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED WHILE DRIVING AT NO PARTICULAR SPEED THE VEHICLE STALLED WITH THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AFTER THE CONTACT STEPPED ON THE BRAKE PEDAL AND TURNED THE KEY SIMULTANEOUSLY. THERE WAS A RECALL UNDER NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER 06V432000(POWER TRAIN). THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO THE DEALER WHO DIAGNOSED THAT THE ALTERNATOR NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT REPAIRED. THE VIN WAS NOT AVAILABLE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 95,000.

AS I HAD MY CAR SERVICED THE MECHANIC TOLD ME MY ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTING OUT. *TR

THE RIGHT FRONT WHEEL COMPLETELY DISCONNECTED FROM THE TIE RODS SO THERE WAS COMPLETELY NO STEERING. I WAS TURNING FROM A MAIN ROAD TO A SIDE ROAD GOING APPROXIMATELY 15 MPH. I AM INCLUDING A REPAIR BILL FROM A CHRYSLER-JEEP DEALER AND I FEEL THIS INCIDENT WAS A FACTORY DEFECT WITH THE VEHICLE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE TO COME APART. I THEREFORE WOULD APPRECIATE TO REFUND MY EXPENSES $1,279.90 PLUS $45 TOWING EXPENSE. UPDATED 3/31/14*CN

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHEN THE FUEL TANK WAS FILLED, IT CAUSED THE VEHICLE TO STALL. THE FAILURE HAD OCCURRED INTERMITTENTLY, HOWEVER THE FAILURE HAD BECOME PERMANENT. THE VEHICLE WAS NOT TAKEN TO THE DEALER TO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 75,000 AND THE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 113,000.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 25 MPH, THE ENGINE STALLED WITHOUT WARNING. THE VEHICLE RESTARTED AND RESUMED NORMALLY. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER FOR DIAGNOSIS WHERE THE TECHNICIAN STATED THAT THE ROCKER ARMS, PISTONS AND ENGINE LIFTERS WOULD NEED REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE PROBLEM. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 111,000.

VEHICLES LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAVE GONE OUT MULTIPLE TIMES WHILE DRIVING. AFTER REPLACING THEM MULTIPLE TIME THEY HAVE NOW QUIT WORKING COMPLETELY. PREVIOUS MODEL YEARS HAVE HAD THE SAME ISSUE AND HAVE HAD A RECALL. I THINK THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED, REGARDLESS OF AGE OR MILEAGE. THIS IS OBVIOUSLY A MANUFACTURING DEFECT. *TR

WHILE DRIVING AROUND A CIRCLE I YIELDED THEN SLOWLY PROCEEDED AND HEARD A LOUD NOISE FROM FRONT DRIVER SIDE WHEEL AREA. THE STEERING WENT. I WAS ABLE TO CAREFULLY GET IT TO A MECHANIC COME TO FIND OUT THE CRADLE HAD RUSTED, BROKE AND FELL AFFECTING THE STEERING. HE INFORMED ME IT WAS DANGEROUS FOR ME TO BE DRIVING IT AND THAT I WAS LUCKY I DIDN'T GET INTO AN ACCIDENT, ESPECIALLY WITH MY 2 KIDS IN THE CAR WITH ME. AFTER PROCESSING A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER, HAVING IT TOWED THERE (AT MY EXPENSE) AND HAVING THE REGIONAL MANAGER TAKE A LOOK THEY ARE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR THIS DANGEROUS SITUATION. I DID SOME RESEARCH. THE 2004 & 2005 CRADLES ARE BEING COVERED BY CHRYSLER BUT NOT THE 2006 MODEL WHICH HAS THE EXACT SAME FRAME. I HAVE 2 CHILDREN, LUCKILY HAVE MANAGED TO PAY OFF THE CAR WITH NO PAYMENTS AND NOW STUCK PAYING FOR A RENTAL CAR UNTIL I FIGHT THIS ISSUE FURTHER. (LIKE MANY WORKING PAY CHECK TO CHECK TO GET BY) I FIND IT IRONIC THAT THEIR VERY OWN SERVICE MANAGER WAS "SHOCKED" THAT THEY AREN'T OFFERING TO FIX IT AND TAKE RESPONSIBILITY. I COULD HAVE EASILY BEEN DRIVING ON THE PARKWAY 70MPH WHEN IT BROKE AND MY STEERING WAS COMPROMISED ENDING IN A FATAL ACCIDENT. SO I'M POSTING ON HERE WITH THE HOPES OF SOMEONE, SOMEWHERE HELPING ME WITH THIS PROCESS. I KNOW FROM SEARCHING THERE ARE MANY OTHER PEOPLE OUT THERE DEALING WITH THE SAME RUST ISSUE AND FEELING HELPLESS. I CAN'T AFFORD A CAR PAYMENT OR THE $3000 TO GET IT FIXED NOR SHOULD I !!! IT HAS $87,500 MILES ON IT AND MA

THE SUBFRAME IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE , ALSO REFERRED TO AS THE ENGINE CRADLE WAS RUSTED AWAY TO SUCH AN EXTENT THAT IT WOULD NOT PASS OUR STATE SAFETY INSPECTION . IT IS IN FACT THE CORE STRUCTURE TO WHICH THE ENGINE, TRANSMISSION AND ENTIRE FRONT SUSPENSION ARE FASTENED AND WHICH HOLDS THEM ALL IN PLACE. TO PROTECT MYSELF AGAINST THIS SORT OF CATASTROPHE I PURCHASED CHRYSLER'S 8/80 MAXIMUM CARE PLAN FOR $1365.00 IN JULY OF 2008 WHEN I BOUGHT THE PACIFICA. MY PACIFICA WAS STILL WELL WITHIN THAT WARRANTY WITH ONLY 77382 MILES AND WITH THE WARRANTY DUE TO EXPIRE 03/ 26 / 2014 WHEN TO MY UTTER SURPRISE AND SHOCK, CHRYSLER REFUSED TO COVER ANY OF THE REPAIR OR EVEN REPLACEMENT PARTS ! THIS IS A CLEAR BREACH OF CONTRACT AND THEFT OF MY PREMIUMS. NOW I FIND THAT THIS HAS BEEN A CHRONIC DEFECT IN ALL PREVIOUS PACIFICA MODEL YEARS , AND CHRYSLER HAS GOTTEN AWAY WITH ENDANGERING IT'S HAPLESS CUSTOMERS WITHOUT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE TO THE POINT OF ROBBING LEGITIMATE WARRANTY HOLDERS TWICE. TAKING OUR MONEY FOR THEIR GUARANTEES IN THE FIRST PLACE AND THEN MAKING US PAY FULLY FOR THE HUGE REPAIRS THEY WERE SUPPOSED TO COVER BUT FLATLY REFUSED TO . I WANT TO BE REIMBURSED FOR THE ENTIRE REPAIR BILL FROM JULY, 2013 - OR - AT LEAST HAVE MY $1365.00 RETURNED TO ME IN FULL !! *TR

WE WERE GOING WEST BOUND IN A TWO LINE STREET,LIGHT WAS GREEN FOR US, WHEN ALL OF SUDDEN WE WERE HIT IN DRIVERS SIDE (T BONE) BY ANOTHER VEHICLE COMING SOUTH TO NORTH THAT RAN A RED LIGHT ALSO ON A TWO LINE STREET , SPEED OF OTHER VEHICLE UNKNOWN, IMPACT SEND US OVER A 2 TO 3 FEET RETAINER BRICK WALL AND CRASHING INTO A BRICK FENCE AND INTO A TREE,OUR VEHICLE HAS SIDE CURTAIN AIRBAGS WHICH DID NOT DEPLOYED. WE BOUGHT THIS VEHICLE FOR THE SAFETY CRASH RATING AND RECOMMENDATIONS ACCORDING TO THE SALES PERSON AT A CAR DEALER. *TR

2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. CONSUMER REQUESTS REIMBURSEMENT FOR A FUEL PUMP REPLACEMENT. *SMD THE CONSUMER STATED PRIOR TO THE REPLACEMENT, SHE WAS NOT INFORMED OR NOTIFIED OF A RECALL, UNTIL A GOOGLE SEARCH REVEALED THE RECALL. ALSO, IN FEBRUARY 2013, THE CATALYTIC CONVERTER WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $800 AND THE BRAKE SYSTEM WAS REPLACED AT A COST OF $500.00.

THE AUTO SHOP THAT REPAIRED OUR CAR SAID THESE PROBLEMS WERE NOT FROM THE ACCIDENT, WE FIXED THE SPEED CONTROL, NOW IT STILL SAYING WE ARE GOING 50 AND WERE GOING 30, THE SWAY BAR IS NOT FROM THE WRECK EITHER, THIS CAR HAS TROUBLE TOO MUCH AIR IS OUT TOO, IT'S BEEN MONEY, MONEY THANK YOU. *TR

TWICE MY CAR HAS FROZE UP (CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS IN SLOW, STIFF MOTION) WHILE DRIVING IN THE RAIN GOING ABOUT;1ST TIME 20MPH AND 2ND TIME OF ISSUE 30MPH. THE BATTERY LIGHT WOULD COME ON WITH THE DING SOUND TO ALERT YOU AND THEN IT WOULD FREEZE UP WHILE DRIVING DOWN A ROAD AND LUCKILY IN BOTH INCIDENTS I WAS ABLE TO GET OVER AND OUT OF THE WAY OF TRAFFIC. I WOULD PUT THAT CAR IN TO PARK, SHUT IT OFF, AND TURN IT BACK ON AND IT WOULD DRIVE NORMAL AGAIN. FOUR DIFFERENT MECHANICS HAS TESTED THE CAR BUT CAN NOT FIND THE PROBLEM TO CORRECT THIS ISSUE. AND IN BOTH INCIDENTS I HAD MY 5 YEAR OLD DAUGHTER IN THE CAR WITH ME. IF I WOULD HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO GET OUT OF THE WAY THIS WOULD HAVE BEEN A DIFFERENT LETTER. ALSO ANOTHER ISSUES IS THE BACK TAILGATE WILL NOT STAY UP IN COLD WEATHER AND HAS COME CRASHING DOWN ON MY HEAD MORE THAN ONCE. THAT IS VERY PAINFUL AND STARTLING TO HAVE HAPPEN TO YOU WHEN YOU ARE PUTTING GROCERIES IN YOUR CAR. MY CHILDREN ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PLACE ANYTHING IN THE BACK BECAUSE I FEAR THAT THEY WILL BE CRUSHED AND THAT ALSO HAS BEEN LOOKED AT MY MECHANICS WHO CAN NOT FIND A PLAUSIBLE CAUSE FOR THIS TO HAPPEN EITHER. *TR

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 60 MPH, THE VEHICLE STALLED AS THE SERVICE IMMOBILIZER WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATED. THE VEHICLE WAS TOWED TO A DEALER WHERE IT WAS DIAGNOSED THAT THE POWER TRAIN MODULE NEEDED TO BE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED BUT DID NOT RESOLVE THE FAILURE. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE AND CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 92,000.

GAS PEDAL STICKS WHEN ACCELERATING FROM STOP POSITION. GAS TANK GAUGE DROPS FROM 90 GALS TO 30 IN A MATTER OF SECONDS. BODY PAINT IS BUBBLING. ANY RECALLS OR WARRANTIES ON THESE ISSUES? *TR

OUR CHRYSLER PACIFICA GAS PEDAL STICKS WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE. *JS

OUR CHRYSLER PACIFICA GAS PEDAL STICK WHEN YOU TRY TO ACCELERATE...*JS
