Took car in for routine oil change. Chrysler dealer stated that the engine cradle is rusting out and needs to be replace very soon and is dangerous to drive. Chrysler had a recall for a select 2004 year cars for the same reason. Why has the recall not been extended to include a wider range of vins? I notice about 1/2 of the recent complaints are for the exact same problem.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Consumer states extensive unibody rust on vehicle an auto body expert informed the consumer the rust was coming from the inside of the uniside rocker panel and both unisides needed to be replaced.

Loud clunking noise coming from engine during starts, stops, and turns. Discovered the noise is related to weak motor mounts cracking and breaking. Through online research I have discovered hundreds of similar complaints about Chrysler Pacifica motor mounts. They are not under warranty and the parts are not available due to backorder issues. This is a huge safety issue as motors can come loose during an accident not to mention potential damage to other parts of the vehicle due to the loose motor. Chrysler needs to initiate a recall to replace the motor mounts.

I have suspicion that the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica's motor mounts are below expected standards. I monitor my vehicles for complaints and recalls to insure that if I have to have work done on my cars it is for expected wear and tear of any vehicle. It is through this monitoring that I have noticed that I am not the only person to experience what sounds like substandard motor mounts. This has been my 1st vehicle of any kind to require replacement motor mounts. My 2005 Pacifica with 73k miles has had to have both motor mounts replaced. It seems that before they were replace they were no longer functioning and the motor was being held in place by 3 other minor mounts. Apparently, the backorder is so bad that it could not be guaranteed within 2 months. I had to order them through a 3rd party in order to replace before any major damage was caused. This raises red flags: are these faulty mounts? do they no longer make these mounts for other vehicles? if so, is it due to substandard design? why has there not been an investigation?.

We purchased a 2007 Pacifica brand new and are having motor mount issues after 30,000 miles. When we took the vehicle in and notified the dealer, they stated that the motor mounts are bad and that we'd have to take the car to the Chrysler dealer from whom we purchased the car. Unfortunately, they have since gone out of business. . Read more...

Noticed on September 1, 2005 that the passenger's side of vehicle was higher than the driver's side. This causes the vehicle to pull to driver's side. The dealership checked the vehicle. They measured and compared it to a floor model, and they said it was the same size. Then, had the vehicle checked at a local mechanic, and they measured it, and determined it was an inch higher on the passenger's side. Contacted the manufacturer, and they advised the consumer to make arrangements with the dealer . But when the consumer called the dealer they did not know how to fix it.
