Front sub-frame found significantly rusted, complete perforation on the passenger side for almost 6 inches, several holes on the drivers side. Vehicle will not pass PA state safety inspection. Chrysler says nothing they can do because of mileage, dealer says it is not their fault as it is a factory defect. Left with an unsafe, illegal vehicle after only 2 car payments.
A letter was sent to some 2004-2005 Chrysler Pacifica owners that the front engine cradle and suspension mount frame warranty was being extended to 15 years or 150,000 miles to owners in states that use road salt because off corrosion problems. They go on to carelessly explain that if your are not experiencing vibration and shaking you need to do nothing-- by the time its that bad its almost to late! mine was not shaking but I had my Pacifica inspected any way and found rust holes in front frame, one was the size of my fist and on the other side may be three or four fingers wide. I stopped driving the vehicle immediately and called the phone # listed on the notification letter twice, both times they denied a problem because it was not listed as a recall on their web site and besides my vehicle did not fall into the VIN block ?? there are cases listed on the internet where state dmv inspection stations have failed these vehicles because they were unsafe to drive because of frame corrosion. I am having the engine cradle replaced at my expense. How can a manufacturer have such a flippant attitude about a known serious safety issue? does this fall under a hidden warranty or recall.
Abs light on my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica keeps coming on and going off. Have read on the internet that this is a major problem with the Pacifica's. Usually has something to do with wheel sensors or speed sensors. If all these vehicles are having the same problem there should be a Chrysler recall to fix this problem.
My 2005 Chrysler Pacifica started running terrible at low speeds. It does not run smoothly, instead it kind of chugs along almost like it is missing or like I got a bad tank of gas. I have been through several tanks of gas adding fuel cleaner to it and it doesn't help. I have taken it in to the local Chrysler dealership twice and they can not recreate the problem. It runs fine on the highway but at 35 mph in town I feel it chug along. Very frustrating that Chrysler can not figure out what is happening with it. They hooked it up to the machine and got nothing back. They replaced spark plugs and did a fuel injection flush and also service the transmission and the problem is still happening.
Purchased used 2005 Chrysler Pacifica Aug 2010 and abs light has been coming on intermittently since that time but goes off when the engine is turned off. Brake pads replaced Jan 2011. March 2011 brakes started going all the way to the floor. Have had them checked by two different mechanics and they are unable to diagnose the problem with the abs light unless the light is on when they are looking it over. My brakes going to the floor happens at least 4 to 5 times a week. I am trying to be very cautious in driving but am still very concerned that I may be involved in an accident with my brakes failing me.
The accelerator pedal sticks when the vehicle is in reverse. The pedal has to be pushed down with excessive force in order for it to release, causing a forceful reaction.
I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica with 49,500 miles, manufacured in June 2005. On three (3) occasions while in a low speed left hand turn the car has stalled without warning. The first occasion was 2 months ago, the subsequent stalls occurred over the past two (2) weeks. Upon coming to a stop and placing the car in park the engine restarts without any problem.
My 2005 Chrysler Pacifica has broken motor mounts and it seems that it is very common in this vehicle, I wonder why nothing has been done to remedy this wide spread problem that Chrysler should be held accountable for.
My crhysler Pacifica 2005, has a problem with the gas pedal. It is sticking when I want to accelerate. I have to push it really hard to unstick the pedal.
Brake pedal fell away from my foot and abs light came on while braking at highway speeds. Light went off, but came on again later. Days later, more brake failures that made stopping difficult.
I was driving me Chrysler Pacifica and noticed a smell of fumes and when I stopped for a light and proceeded the car made a rumbling noise as if I was going over grating which I wasn't. Then I noticed s,oke comin out of the hood. I at first thought it was overheating but my temperature gauge was not on hot. I went to a gas station and they said it was probably a little oil spilled and that was it. It had stopped. I went to my destination, turned car off and came back 5 minuted later and car started up fine. Proceeded back on highway and again smelled fumes. Suddenly car just ceases on highway. Thank god I had my emergency lights on and I was in the rigth lane going very slow. I pulled over at which time smoke was billowing out of the hood and fire was coming out from under the car. I called 911 and car burst into flames! August of 2007 I brought my car to dealer because I received a recall notice on the fuel pump module and they fixed it. Thank god I wasn't in the left lane or there would have been a severe accident and my daughter and I might not have gotten out in time.
A small piece of road debris ( 1x4 board) contacted the underside of my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica puncturing the fuel tank. The tanks is hung lower than the surrounding chassis components and does not have any type of shield or skid plate, leaving it rather vulnerable to damage from road debris. Furthermore the tanks is located close to the exhaust and catalytic converter. Cost to replace the tank was in excess of $1000. 00. The local Chrysler dealer felt there was no problem with the design and that there is no fix available to prevent this from re-occurring. Furthermore the local dealership had no knowledge on any reporting system within daimler Chrysler to whom we could report our concerns.
2005 Chrysler Pacifica touring. Have had the car 4 months. This is our third cd/dvd player. We have had music cds become jammed two times and the dealer has had to replace the units. Currently not using the player for music or dvds, trying to avoid the pain of dealing with the dealership.
