I bought this vehicle under the impression it needed a motor mount to find out that the sub frame is rotten to the point it's a safety issue to drive. The rest of the details may not be of interest to you but I am the surviving spouse of a deceased veteran and mother of his two children. I've been struggling to recuperate since their father's death and heaven unable to do to the pandemic that's what I was about to my daily drivers engine seized and I exhausted all my resources buying this vehicle that is now deemed unsafe any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.
Took vehicle in for exhaust repair. When hoisted up the mechanic informed me of engine cradle rot. He said the drip hose is dripping onto the engine cradle. Called Chrysler custome assistance, they sent me to roseville Chrysler in roseville, mi for inspection, under case #32879012. Service advisor bryan collins told me the same thing engine cradle rot due to drip hose dripping on engine cradle. Chrysler customer assistance said no recall on vehilcle and it is out of warrenty. My responsibility for repair. I explained that it was an enginering design error and the drip hose should have been long enough to route it past the engine cradle.
I have a 2006 Chrysler Pacifica that emits a strong natural gas smell. The problem started 3 days ago (2/20/10). I went to the Chrysler dealership today to fix the problem. They confirmed the smell of natural gas, but could not offer a solution to the problem. They drove the car and upon braking and acceleration the fumes were emitted. The Chrysler mechanics said that they could not find anything mechanical that would cause the smell. ¿ my lungs hurt and my nerves are really getting bad! just by driving around trying to find someone who can fix it! I drive with the windows down and im still affected by the fumes. We just had a snow storm and im freezing in my car, trying to breathe! I live in detroit, we are the hardest hit by this recession and I need a car to keep my job! I have to travel to my customers. I dont have another vehicle, nor can I afford one. Please help.

Oil consumption problem with 2006 Chrysler Pacifica. My 2006 Pacifica has 38000 miles on it and I am experiencing issues with oil consumption. I was told by the dealership that Chrysler corporation believes it is 'acceptable' that a car with under 50,000 miles burns approximately 1 quart of oil per 1000 miles! this is absurd if you ask me! how can this be acceptable ? another problem is that I've read from other blogs is that Chrysler does not feel that this is an issue that warrants further investigation and many times, the underlying issue for the poor oil consumption is not found until a major problem occurs with the engine, and the car's warranty has expired, leaving the consumer to suffer the consequences! this is not only bad business but has to be bad for the environment, if a car is 'burning' oil that fast, where is it going? no wonder the world is suffering from global warming if automakers like Chrysler and Ford find that burning oil this fast is acceptable!! please help! I know this must be a widespread issue. I've read many on-line comments of consumer suffering from this same problem with Chrysler pt cruisers, Pacificas, and others!.

My Chrysler Pacifica 06 has a lifter problem and have heard of other Pacifica's with the same issue. Believe a recall should be issued on this and Chrysler is refusing.
