Engine problems of the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica

Motor mounts on my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica are broken! this is a height risk and parts seem to be on back order costs are high and this must be recalled. This is a ongoing issue on the Pacifica! I found this out after reading several forums which many many people have the same issue and all cant believe that this is not recalled yet. Broken motor mounts can cause the engine to fall down onto the street and could cause deadly incidents!.

Pacifica lifter going bad.

Chrysler Pacifica 2004 motor mounts( front & back) replaced every 15,000 miles. This is something that keeps happening and almost wrecked with kids in car.

2004 Chrysler Pacifica. In the past 3 months we have replaced the motor mounts and the antilock braking system module. We now have a thrown rod in the motor or a major cylinder problem. The vehicle only has 80,000 miles on it and we maintain it regularly. Are there any other problems that are common for this vehicle?.

The accelerator sticks preventing acceleration. This has happened multiple times. The dealer states that it is due to a build-up of carbon on the engine components. Maintenance is required - not covered under any warranty or factory program.

Chrysler Pacifica engine mounts failure and no replacements available. Engine mounts have failed 3 times in 120,000 miles, but now they can't be replaced. No aftermarkets available and Chrysler is on a "4 month national backorder". My mechanic confirms a design failure, but no alternatives. Every Pacifica he knows has an engine mount failure with no options for repair.

My car was recently state inspected and it was discovered that I needed the front and rear motor mounts on my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. After researching the problem, I read complaints from many owners who had the exact same failures with their Pacifica's despite low mileage (30,000 to 40,000 miles). The problem appears to be a serious defect with this car because the motor mount is on backorder with the majority of Chrysler dealers. A Chrysler parts department employee at reedman's dealership in langhorne, PA. Told me the part is on backorder with no availability date forecasted. The employee told me this is a sure sign of a serious problem when this occurs. I have a problem now because I won't be able to drive my car when the state inspection sticker expires the end of April. I have read the shortage is possibly self inflicted so as to avoid warranty repairs. I don't believe that is true because bad motor mounts could lead to an accident and liability issues. However, I do believe this needs to be investigated and if deemed credible a recall initiated to correct the reason for the early failures I. E. Defective part or engineering flaw.

When you stop you hear and fill a large clank and the engine moving forward. We took it to the shop and waited 2 months for the first motor mount to be ordered and received there was a national backorder. While in the shop they discovered the front motor mount was now bad. This time there is 2600 on national back order and this time there is not a time frame to have it fixed. I called Chrysler and they will not talk to me because I bought my car used in 2006. Chrysler does not show me as the original owner. I am driving my family in a car that is un-safe. If Chrysler knows of the issue then why are they not doing anything to help. Any dealer I call or email tells me the same thing. They say they receive many calls a day about the part but they don't know. You can put your name on the list and pay for it but can not give you a time line to get it fixed. Now my warranty is up during this wait. It is going on 5 months now.

1. Oil has been changed by dealer since vehicle was new. Odd occasion, due to location issues, oil had to be changed at a goodyear service department. 2. Goodyear service writer informed us the drain hole threads on oil pan were stripped by the last place to change oil. Informed oil pan needed to be replaced. Contacted Chrysler dealer where work had always been done. They denied responsibility, but acknowledged the wide-spread incidence of this problem with other Pacifica models around the country. 3. After being put off for more than 6 weeks, we are having the oil pan drain hole re-threaded (it can only be done once), by a trusted mechanic trained by Chrysler. We will determine what needs to done long-term as advised by this mechanic.

The contact owns 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. She stated that the engine motor mounts are constantly knocking. The dealer refused to repair due to the motor mounts not being covered under warranty.

While drive the vehicle appears to shut off. I have no other way to describe what happens. It is literally as though the key were turned off (I. E. The engine stops, loss of power steer, loss of power assist breaking, loss of abs, no instrument panel lights to even indicate there was problem). The only systems that remain active are the ones that would normally be on when the key were in the accessory position. The vehicle will immediately restart after being shifted to neutral. This has occurred numerous times with no consistency. (I. E. 70 mph on an interstate, 15 mph in a parking lot, 45 on a secondary road, 5 mph backing out of the driveway).
