Dangerous. . . My 05 Pacifica engine mount and subframe are completely rusted and the engine is on the verge of dropping out potentially causing serious injuries or death. I found this out during an oil change. Now as I drive the steering wheel shakes and front passenger side makes knocking noise. I don't have the money to fix it or the credit to get a newer vehicle. My only choice is to drive it until something bad happens, then maybe Chrysler will do what's right and send out a recall. Please help all of us complaining about this same issue. There are hundreds if not thousands of complaints of this exact same issue. I loved this vehicle, now I'm scared to drive it at all.
