CarComplaints.com Notes: Engine cradle rot is a serious problem in the 2004-05 Chrysler Pacifica. Chrysler admits they didn't apply enough coating to the vehicle's sub-frame during assembly, but only offered to cover a very small portion of the vehicles they messed up.
So what happens when your engine cradle rots? Well, the engine could fall out for starters. It could also cause problems with the suspension and other components but did I mention THE ENGINE CAN FALL OUT? The worst part is you might not know because there's no way to see the problem without getting under the car.
If you have a 2004-05 Pacifica, make sure to have your mechanic inspect your sub-frame for rust and corrosion.

About These NHTSA Complaints:
This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.
So how do you find out what problems are occurring? For this NHTSA complaint data, the only way is to read through the comments below. Any duplicates or errors? It's not us.
When we purchased the car I noticed when I selected the seat setting it said it was set. When I went to drive the vehicle again I selected seat one and it had the error messages as in the pictures.
The contact owns a 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated that the vehicle would not accelerate and the brake pedal became jammed. The contact applied excessive force to the accelerator pedal before it became dislodged. Additionally, the contact was unable to adjust the front driver's seat. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was 115,000.
Both electric seat adjusters just stopped working. The driver's side seat is so far back that it's not really safe to be driving, and both seats are stuck in an uncomfortable position. The driver's side seat is stuck in the "exit the car" position, so it must have stopped working last Sunday when I drove it and then parked it for the night. Now it's too far back for me to operate safely and I am sadly disappointed in Chrysler. This should be fixed for free in my opinion, because I see many complaints online about the same problem. What a piece of junk.
