Radiator problems of the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica

Since I purchased this in 2008, I have replaced the axle, 2 wheel bearings a few months ago, a few years ago 1 abs sensor was replaced via warranty but they wouldn't replace the other - which went out 2 months later. They knew it was going to. I replaced the transmission 2 years, the fuel pump & catalytic converter last year, just replaced the oil pan gasket 2 months ago, the radiator 2 weeks ago due to coolant lead, and now the water pump is leaking coolant. This is just what I can think of off the top of my head. It has been one problem after the other with this vehicle and I have spent a fortune on it. I can't afford to replace it & my VIN doesn't show up on the recalls.

Took my vehicle in to have a small radiator leak checked out and an oil change as I am planning a trip from sw michigan to chicago in a week. Much to my surprise, shock and dismay the mechanic told me that my cars frame and engine suspension is badly rusted and the engine can fall out of my car at any given time. As I drive my car for my job and also help take my grandchildren to and from school I am sickened by this news. Then to find out (I bought my car used) that Chrysler did a recall but then rescinded the recall really made me angry. I am now stuck with a car I cannot/should not drive and there is no way I can afford to purchase another vehicle. I will never buy a Chrysler product again. Shame on you Chrysler to not stand behind your product.

While driving and coming to a stop once I pressed on the gas to start again the car would make a bucking movement and then proceed to move on as normal. Well one day car started to over heat as oil gauge raised, so pulled the car over and let it cool down. Went to local gas station to pick up coolant and poured it in and then started car to see that it was all gushing out the front end. Could not drive it so had it towed to a local garage for repair. Come to find out that a front and rear motor mount had broken causing the motor to shift slightly every time I pressed the gas with this motor shifting it went over enough to loosen and undo the radiator hose which caused the car to overheat. The front and rear motor mounts were replaced, but it seems there may be more underlying issues due to the motors movement.

I own a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica that was bought brand new in October 2004. In October 2009, I was driving home during afternoon rush hour. I noticed my car smoking and attempted just to make it home. About 20 minutes later, my car began to hesitate and turned off once or twice when I stopped at stop lights. Eventually, the car shut down completely on a major thoroughfare and would not restart. After being towed to the nearest dealership, I discovered that the radiator hose had been blown off and a hole basically ripped in the coolant jug as a result. Repair cost: $564. 00. Prior to releasing the vehicle, the service technicians noticed how loudly and roughly the car was running and did further tests, to discover that the motor mounts are broken and in need of repair, which caused the problem that I paid nearly $600 to fix. Projected cost: an additional $900. That's a total of $1500 for a four-year-old car!!! I've searched and have seen numerous reports of repeated motor mount breaks and problems. Called Chrysler who basically is turning a blind eye to the numerous complaints.
