general problems of the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica

Front subframe is completely corroded and rusted out. Engine is no longer safely supported. Problem has been confirmed by dealer. Manufacturer has been aware of this issue caused by substandard uncoated and unprotected steel used in the front subfram01e.

Engine sub frame-aka engine cradle is rotting out. Vehicle was inspected on July 6, 2023 at jim rielh's Chrysler -Jeep dealership located at 32899 van dyke, warren michigan 48093. The report came back as " found front engine cradle / frame rotted / rusted out. " this vehicle has been well maintained and has been safety inspected by the same dealership in 2021 & 2022 and never advised there was a problem with the engine cradle. Now in 2021, three engine mounts were replaced to correct clunking noises when accelerating, but again there was never an advisement of a potential engine cradle rot. The vehicle had 127, 640 miles on it when it was inspected by the dealer. The results were reported to Chrysler customer care via email and by phone but no response as of today.

I am requesting that NHTSA issue a recall for the known defect and serious safety hazard for the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. These vehicles need to be recalled effective immediately and removed from our highways. The engine cradle rot poses a a risk for accidents and the manufacturer is privy to these problems and had legal action taken against them for a similar notification of different years. The 2007 models should be recalled as well. Please issue the recall and do the right thing. Who knows, you may save someone’s life who is unaware of the dangerous equipment they are driving. Not to mention the manufacturer needs to either to buy back the vehicles, pay for the costly repairs and or compensate the owners who are unable to drive their vehicle or are forced to purchase another vehicle because Chrysler and those in authority have failed and refused to act with integrity and take action to make the recall. There are countless consumers who complain of the same problems of cradle rot, but nothing has been done. . Read more...

Esp bas light came on and the steering wheel started to move left to keep the car going straight. Suddenly the right front tire hit the wheel housing and stopped. Upon inspection it was revealed the the cradle holding the front suspension had rusted and broke off. I was driving on a two lane state road and was able to pull to the shoulder.

Random stalling w/ all functions stopping. Brakes, steering. . Ect. Took it to several licensed/certified mechanics and not 1 of them can tell me what is wrong. This has nearly caused 2 serious crashes so I no longer allow anyone to ride in the car with me. The stalling has happened on the highway going nearly 70mph, on a 2 lane highway through town with heavy traffic going approx. 35 mph, its happened in my neighborhood street, on the way home from work on a country road (several times). The vehicle hasn't ever stalled while running and stationary. For me this has only happened while in motion.

2007 Chrysler Pacifica awd dies when shifted into drive from any position. In order to drive this car it has to be shifted into n and rpm's gotten to over 3000 then put into d and wirh all that it still clunks, shakes, stuttereds, etc.

This letter is to file a complaint regarding Chrysler group llc for repairs made to a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica’s front engine cradle within a 10-year or 150,000 period similar to the extended warranty coverage of a previous recall to Chrysler Pacifica model years 2004-2005. I experienced an engine cradle safety concern and this matter was similar to that included in the Chrysler Pacifica model years 2004-2005 recall. The perforation of corrosion on the engine cradle was a safety hazard and as a result would not pass the virginia safety inspection requirements, thus requiring repair. Three attempts were made to find a used part, but all parts received had corrosion in the same place. The repair was made with Chrysler oem parts. Since this safety issue was a similar the previous Chrysler recall, and to correct a safety hazard, I request reimbursement for the repair.

Our 2007 Pacifica continues to have problems. One Chrysler dealer stated it was safe to drive and good to go. 2 days later studs on tire broke off. Other side studs were loose and had to be tightened. We took vehicle to another Chrysler dealer who inspected vehicle and had a list of things wrong including ,rear and front motor mounts being broke. Power steering fluid leaking, transmission lines leaking, rear brake pads and front rotors need replacing and wheel alignment right camber off in front and rear alignment off and right toe is off. The first dealer stated they did a front and rear wheel alignment and less than3 weeks later the alignment is that far off. Something radically wrong with this vehicle, and/or first Chrysler dealer. All of this after going through 3 plus sets of shocks and 2 tie rod ends and now another wheel alignment! very unsafe, vehicle with still undiagnosed reason for all this. Chrysler insists the vehicle can be repaired. We do not trust that statement any longer. It is our belief that this car is defective. We believe something in the suspension or design is causing all of these parts to continue breaking, and continuous alignment,tire, brake problems. Now motor mounts and power steering, and transmission leaks. We did not get any value from this car purchase. Chrysler should be held responsible for the defective car we are stuck with. We could have been injured twice already by tires almost falling of car. Now we need to worry about fires from leaking lines and also worry about broken motor mounts. Help us please! this car needs to be taken off the road and we need to be reimbursed. In the meantime we cannot safely drive car any distances as we wait for an answer from Chrysler corp. On what they can do for us.

Informed during routine state inspection struts needed replacing. Brought vehicle to southern Chrysler Jeep. Dealer replaced strut mounts and strut bearings, informed that they were "coming apart". Service adviser said the struts on those vehicles were "a piece of scrap , but you didn't hear that from me". Informed that they have a lot of problem with those. Why is there no recall? you can see from the mileage, I don't drive long distances, I don't run over potholes or drive on rocky roads.

2007 Chrysler Pacifica. Consumer writes regarding damage in vehicle accident the consumer stated the wheel became detached from the vehicle which caused him to loose control of the vehicle and ultimately crashing into a guardrail. The wheel and all of its components; steering knuckle, cv joints, brake lines, struts etc, buckled under the vehicle. After the vehicle dropped down with the tire acting as a cushion, it dragged along the guardrail until it came to a stop.
