STRUCTURE:FRAME AND MEMBERS
AFTER BRINGING MY VEHICLE IN FOR A CLUNKING NOISE IN THE FRONT END THE MECHANIC DISCOVERED MY ENGINE CRADLE ON MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 108,000 MILES IS FALLING APART AND RUSTING THROUGH. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY WOULD NOT DO ANYTHING AS THE VEHICLE IS OVER THEIR 5 YEAR/100,000 MILE WARRANTY. UPON FURTHER RESEARCH I HAVE SEEN SEVERAL CASES OF THIS SAME ISSUE IN CANADA THAT IS BEING COMPLETELY FIXED BY CHRYSLER. ALSO THERE WAS A CASE IN THE UNITED STATES THAT WAS REPAIRED BY CHRYSLER AS WELL. AT 6 YEARS OLD AND ONLY 108,000 MILES MY VEHICLE CAN FALL APART UNDERNEATH AT ANY MOMENT AND THAT IS UNACCEPTABLE, ESPECIALLY SINCE THIS PROBLEM IS BEING FIXED WITHOUT QUESTION IN CANADA. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY
I HAVE HAD MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR 5 YEARS. IN THOSE 5 YEARS I'VE HAD TO REPLACE THE FRONT BUMPER 3 TIMES. ALL THREE TIMES IT WAS DURING WINTER DURING SNOW FALL. I SPOKE TO SOMEONE AT AN AUTO BODY THIS TIME AROUND AND HE TOLD ME THAT IT IS AN ISSUE HE HAS SEEN WITH THE PACIFICA WHERE IF TOO MUCH WEIGHT IS PUT ON THE FRONT BUMPER, IT COMES OFF. THIS COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IF IT COMES OFF WHILE DRIVING. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THEY COULD DO FOR ME AS THE WARRANTY WAS UP AND THERE WAS NO RECALL. I AM NO LEFT HAVING TO FIX THIS AGAIN FOR THE THIRD TIME. *TR

I TOOK MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA, WITH 92,000 MILES, TO GET NEW TIRES AFTER FAILING INSPECTION BECAUSE OF THE TIRES. AFTER THEY PUT NEW TIRES ON, THEY DISCOVERED THAT THEY COULD NOT ALIGN THEM BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME WAS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. THE MECHANIC STRONGLY ADVISED THAT I NOT DRIVE MY CAR HOME BECAUSE IT WAS SO UNSAFE AND COULD BREAK AT ANY TIME. THE ONLY WAY TO FIX IT IS TO HAVE A NEW SUBFRAME PUT IN. I HAVE NOT DECIDED WHETHER IT IS WORTH SPENDING THOUSANDS TO REPLACE THE CORRODED FRAME. *TR
