2 Engine problem

Failure Date: 05/20/2009

Own 2006 Chrysler Pacifica, local dealership reported front motor mount was broken but dealership told me it can be dangerous if not repaired but part is on backorder and there is nothing that can be done. After reading blogs this is a national issue.

3 Engine problem

Failure Date: 02/26/2009

Broken motor mounts and axle. Abs sensors had to replace battery and both headlights all before 50000 miles. 2006 Chrysler Pacifica is a safety hazard and I don't know why these motor mounts have not been recalled. Furthermore motor mounts on 2 month back order unable to fix so putting more stress on my car needing more repairs.
