The engine cradle sub frame has rotted to the point where the car will not pass a ny safety inspection. All other frame components are in good shape, so it begs the question as to what was different about the manufacturing of the sub-frame? The issue is repairable, but it is a pretty costly fix (approx $2000) and it involves finding a replacement part from a vehicle outside of those states that routinely deal with road salt in the winter.

Went for annual ny state inspection, that got a call from mechanic to see under the car. Front engine cradle was rusted with holes and metal peeling off on the touch. Car did not pass inspection and engine cradle has to be replaced. It is not safe to drive.I was advised to contact Chrysler since they have seen many pacifica's with the same problems. After talking to Chrysler customer service was told that they are aware of the problem but that they are sorry that they can not help since they have issued a recall but just for limited number of cars manufactured in 2004, since my car is newer it is not covered in that recall. *tr

My cradle has 3 large rust holes on the passenger side we took it off the road looking for a new cradle and it seems 2 be a real problem with these cars stay away from Chrysler pacificas in general if u want 2 be safe . It seems when my husband would change the oil on the passenger side of the car was always water sitting in the cradle or moisture in the area. Great job engineers on the making of the engine drop cars that people spend big money on & it doesn't matter where they are located in the united states. Stay away 2 b safe

Took my 2006 Chrysler pacifica in for brake service and was told by the technician that the engine sub-frame is rotted and is unsafe to drive. My mechanic searched around for sub-frame and the least expensive used was $950.00 plus labor. In investigating the vehicle it seems there is a problem with sub-frame on the Chrysler pacifica from 2004-2008. Is there a recall on this part? If not is there a class action law suit on this vehicle for the above item?

I had the oil changed on december 20th, 2017, and when I picked up the car, the mechanic told me the engine was ready to fall out. He said the sub frame that supports the engine was rotted out and ready to fail. I was advised not to drive the car in this condition.I was given a quote of around $3,000.00 to fix it. I've been driving for over 50 years and never heard of any car experiencing this problem.

Driving 70mph on interstate, car suddenly feels as though it is hydroplaning but road surface is dry, no control over steering. Took to dealership who said rear suspension had collapsed the weight from this had shredded both new back tires down to steel belt $1200 repair bill...also undercarriage is starting to rust out, have seen complaints of this on internet..Chrysler will do nothing. *tr

While driving my car I turned on my turn signal to turn right onto the highway, and upon accelerating my check engine light beeped and turned on, then as I turned my wheel and tried to accelerate it wouldn't and then my car died. I then had my car towed to my house where it remains until I have it towed to the dealership. *tr

The gas pedal sticks on this vehicle when trying to accelerate. When the car does finally start moving forward it "jerks" forward rapidly. This has occurred when pulling out of park & also when trying to pull out into traffic. From researching it on the internet it seems to be a common issue related to the throttle body.

ABS system will engage for no reason at low speed and light braking. ABS warning system light will come on without a reason. ABS sensors replace approximately 2 times. Have replaced a sensor and the ABS light came back. During the night and go off on day light. *tr

Tl* - the contact received recall letter (f44). The contact called the dealer and was told they do not know when the part will available. The dealer did not schedule a repair nor take her name and number to inform her when parts will available.
