Engine Clicking And Tapping Noises problems of the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica

My vehicle started making a clunk noise from the engine area and stopped shifting out of second gear. I took vehicle in to a repair shop for transmission service and was told by the repair shop that the vehicle is unsafe to drive because the engine cradle has corrosion and has rusted to the point that the engine is about to fall out the vehicle which most likely caused the transmission to fail. This was discovered while my vehicle was being lifted on the hoist. The repair shop said they are afraid to keep the vehicle on the hoist because someone could get injured while underneath it.

The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. While driving approximately 5 mph and making a left turn, a clicking sound emitted from the steering column without warning. The failure recurred on several occasions whenever the contact made a left or right turn. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic. The technician diagnosed that the engine cradle had excessive rust and was fractured. As a result, the engine cradle needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 137,000.

Loud clunking noise when shifting into reverse from park or taking off from a stop. Once it is in 2nd or 3rd gear you don't feel or hear noise. I figured my motor mounts were bad again (replaced about 4 years ago) and when I checked they looked bad so I took it to a local repair shop. They confirmed they were shot but also said my engine cradle was rusted out and that was why the motor mounts probably went bad so fast. We have had 3 bad winters in indiana and they use a lot of salt. So, I searched the internet and found plenty of similar complaints but Chrysler isn't doing enough to repair or compensate owners for the cost. There is a class action suit filed in ohio that I will try to get on board with in hopes of recovering some costs. I'm afraid to transport my daughter and friends in my vehicle, which is the primary vehicle for our family.

I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica and I was experiencing problems with a clicking noise and shifting coming from underneath the front end of my car. Upon inspection by my mechanic it became clear that the "engine cradle" or subframe was completely rotted through with visible corrosion. Upon further investigation, I discovered that this "engine cradle" corrosion problem has been acknowledged by Chrysler and an extended warranty was issued to repair this part for 2004 and 2005 Pacifica's. Extended warranty letter id 0004617/#45543/x26. . . However, when I contacted Chrysler, I was informed that based on the VIN # of my car, I did not qualify for Chryslers extended warranty for this issue, the letter Chrysler issued for this extended warranty clearly states that it covers 2004-2005 Chrysler Pacifica's, and even though I fall within the model year, geographical region, and the 10yr/150,000mile guidelines of extended warranty, Chrysler claims that my 2005 was not manufactured within some narrow manufacturing window to qualify for this extended warranty.

I have a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica and I was experiencing problems with a "clicking noise" coming from underneath the front end of my car. Upon inspection by my mechanic it became evident that the "engine cradle" which holds up engine was completely rotted through with about 80% of visible corrosion (I really wish I could actual attach pictures of corrosion provided to me by my mechanic). Upon further investigation, I discovered that this "engine cradle" corrosion problem has been acknowledged by Chrysler and an extended warranty was issued to repair this part for 04 and 05 Pacifica's. Extended warranty letter id 0004617/#45543/x26. . . However, when I contacted Chrysler, I was informed that based on the VIN # of my car, I did not qualify for Chryslers extended warranty for this issue (10 yrs or 150,000 miles) - the letter Chrysler issued for this extended warranty clearly states that it covers 2004-2005 Chrysler Pacifica's, and even though I fall within the model year, geographical region, and the 10yr/150,000mile guidelines of extended warranty, Chrysler claims that my 2005 was not manufactured within some narrow manufacturing window to qualify for this extended warranty. In closing, unfortunately, due to financial constraints, and the costly nature of this repair (2-3k), I have no choice but to drive this car the way it is at the moment - I do understand that it is clearly unsafe to drive this car and it probably shouldn't be on the road - however, I do have a valid state inspection sticker from previous year, so my car is "legal to drive", and I really have no choice but to continue to utilize this car until I can come up with a resolution (all I can do at this point is keep my fingers crossed and pray that I don't cause any harm to myself or anybody else). What should I / can I do to next? can you please help me and advise accordingly. Thank you sincerely jp.

I purchased a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in June of 08. In September I brought the car to a local shop because I noticed the car was not performing well sluggish, clunking noises ect. . . Diagnosis - replace motor and tranny mounts 9/23/2009. In June of 2010 car is in the shop because I hear a clunking everytime I accelerate from a dead stop. Diagnosis-replace motor mounts. It is the end of August and I'm hearing the clunking noise, so I went to the dealer and they are telling me all the motor and tranny mounts are broken. I have read hundreds of postings that Pacifica owners are having with engine mounts. Please can someone do something about this too common problem with Pacificas. Chrysler knows there is problem because they cannot keep enough of them in stock.
