I WENT TO A MECHANIC TO HAVE AN OIL CHANGE AND UPON INSPECTING THE VEHICLE, THE MECHANIC NOTICED THE ENGINE FRAME WAS SEVERELY RUSTED. IT IS RUSTED TO THE POINT HE ADVISED ME TO NO LONGER DRIVE THE VEHICLE. THE CRADLE IS RUSTED TO THE POINT YOU CAN NO LONGER SEE WHERE IT IS ATTACHED AND CAN FIT FINGERS IN THE RUST HOLES. I WAS INFORMED BY MY MECHANIC THAT THIS IS A MANUFACTURER ISSUE THAT WOULD PUT MY FAMILY AND I IN DANGER. *TR

STRUCTURE:BODY, ENGINE
ENGINE CRADLE/MOUNT AND FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT. UNSAFE TO DRIVE. STUCK WITH A PILE OF STEEL THAT HAS NO TRADE IN VALUE OR RESALE VALUE. APPARENTLY, THIS EFFECTS ALMOST EVERY 2004 PACIFICA. NHTSA OUGHT TO BE LOOKING INTO THIS ISSUE MORE CLOSELY. IT'S OBVIOUS THAT THE HUNDRED'S WHO'VE REGISTERED A COMPLAINT ON THIS WEBSITE ARE FEELING THAT THE AGENCY DOES NOT CARE TO INVESTIGATE. SHAME ON CHRYSLER; SHAME ON NHTSA.

I BROUGHT MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR ITS ANNUAL NYS INSPECTION. IT FAILED INSPECTION DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE SUBFRAME WAS SO ROTTED OUT IT WOULDN'T PASS. I REALIZE THE CAR IS OVER TEN YEARS OLD, BUT THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN. I DISCOVERED THAT THIS IS AN ONGOING ISSUE WITH 2004-2005 PACIFICAS, AND WANTED TO ADD MY COMPLAINT TO THE RECORD. WE NOW HAVE TO INCUR AN EXPENSE THAT WE CANNOT AFFORD, AND SHOULD NOT HAVE TO. MY MECHANIC IS NOW GOING TO CONTACT CHRYSLER TO SEE WHAT THEY WILL DO. *TR

MY 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA STALLS OUT OF NOWHERE WHEN I'M DRIVING IT CAN BE WHEN I'M DRIVING AT 5 MILES OR EVEN 20,30 OR EVEN 50 MILES OR IF I'M MAKING A TURN WHICH IS VERY SCARY WHEN MY STEERING WHEEL LOCKS UP ON ME. IT ALSO WONT START ALL THE TIME I'VE HAD MY CAR IN THE SHOP OVER 20 TIME TO FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING ON, I'VE SPENT OVER 5,000.00 DOLLARS TRYING TO FIX IT BUT TO NO AVAIL. I'VE BEEN DOING SOME RESEARCH ON THIS ISSUE AND THERE ARE TUNES OF PEOPLE WITH THE SAME PROBLEM ON 04, 05, AND 06 CHRYSLER PACIFICA'S BUT ONLY THE 05'S HAVE A RECALL ON THE PCM. I'VE HAD MY GAS LINE CHANGED TWICE BECAUSE I COULD ONLY USE HALF A TANK BE FOR IT WOULD DROP TO E AND RUN OUT OF GAS AND THAT WAS 3,000.00 WITHIN A YEAR AND THAT'S BEEN A BIG ISSUE IN THE PACIFICA WORLD ALSO. I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY CHRYSLER WONT FIX THE PROBLEMS ON THESE SUV'S ITS CLEARLY A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE RESOLVED. I'VE TRUSTED CHRYSLER WITH MY FAMILY AND IT'S SCARY TO DRIVE THIS CAR KNOWING IT CAN AND WILL SHUT OFF ON ME AT ANY TIME AND MAY NOT START BACK UP. I DON'T HAVE MONEY TO GET A NEW CAR BEING A SINGLE MOM OF 4 THAT'S WHY I PURCHASED THIS CAR. NOW WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS THAT I'M HAVING WITH IT AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT'S WRONG WITH IT OR HOW TO FIX IT IS A BIG HEADACHE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC THAT HAS A FRIEND THAT WORKS FOR CHRYSLER DODGE AND JEEP AND THEY PUT THERE MACHINES ON MY CAR AND THEY COULDN'T FIND OUT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH IT AS WELL AND THERE'S NO CODE THAT WAS GIVEN THEY SAID I NEEDED TO CHANGE MY STARTER AND SOMETHING ELSE I CANT REMEMBER THE PART BUT THAT WAS ANOTHER 200.00 AND ITS STILL NOT FIXED NOW THEY SAY IT HAS TO BE MY PCM WITCH IS ANOTHER 1,500 THAT I DON'T HAVE. I DIDN'T EXPECT TO PUT ALL THIS MONEY OUT TO FIX THIS CAR AND IT NOT GETTING FIXED BECAUSE CHRYSLER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG WITH THE 04 PACIFICA BUT I'M SURE ITS THE PCM JUST LIKE THE 05 AND 06 MODELS. *TR

ENGINE, UNKNOWN OR OTHER
WHILE IN FOR INSPECTION IN JUNE '14, WE WERE ADVISED BY THE MECHANIC THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE ASSEMBLY HAD RUSTED THROUGH AND WAS UNSAFE - THEY WOULD NOT PASS IT THROUGH INSPECTION. OTHERWISE, THE CAR IS IN EXCELLENT CONDITION, AND HAS BEEN MAINTAINED PROPERLY THROUGHOUT OUR OWNERSHIP. OUR RESEARCH INDICATES THIS IS A PROBLEM WITH THE INITIAL FACTORY PAINT APPLICATION - IT WAS DEFECTIVE AND ALLOWED FOR PREMATURE CORROSION OF THE CRADLE ASSEMBLY. THERE ARE MANY INSTANCES OF THIS POSTED ON THE INTERNET (SOME OF WHICH HAVE BEEN ADDRESSED BY CHRYSLER - BUT NOT ALL). THIS IS DANGEROUS AND SOMETHING SHOULD BE DONE BEFORE ACCIDENTS START HAPPENING (ESPECIALLY WITH CHILDREN INVOLVED GIVEN THIS VEHICLE IS A MINIVAN). *JS
