general problems of the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica

The drivers seat adjusted itself all the way in the reclining position and will not move back. It is a safety hazard . . Difficult to drive. . . . We have not had it looked at yet. . . We just purchased the car a few weeks ago from a car dealer.

The electrical component on moving my seats failed years ago. I've had electrical lights/ glitches in the dash showing problems with the airbag. This past weekend, I took my 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in for repairs to the alternator and was informed the cradle/frame suspension on my vehicle is rusted through. The mechanic informed me that this framing should not rust through if it was coated properly and if it continues to rust through, the engine block will drop out. I was quoted over $2,000 to purchase a used part and to complete the repairs.

Purchased the car Aug, 2014. Previous owner also had same issues. Has been in shop several times, unable to pinpoint cause/remedy situation. Seat controls do not work, remote keyfobs do not work, interior lights, head lamps, no electrical function present unless key is in ignition, in the "on" position. When shutting off the car, all lights on the dashboard light up and the only way to shut them off is to push on and then off the hazard lights. This will cause all electrical to go out, including the head lamps and all interior lights. If you do not turn them off by using the hazard lights, it will kill the battery. We have replaced the fuses in for the seats several times. They work for a bit and then blow out again. The mechanics have gone as far as to replace the wiring assembly and still no remedy. I don't know how there is not a recall on this vehicle.

Can't raise the driver seat back rest after it was lowered to maximum.

On February 9,2007 I was rear ended at a high rate of speed while driving my car at around 45 mph. This resulted in my knees slaming into the dash area and then falling back very hard in my seat, which ended up laying flat.
