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?

If you have a 2004-05 Pacifica, make sure to have your mechanic inspect your sub-frame for rust and corrosion.
I get so mad that when I get into the car and it have this problem, I have to put it in neutral and then it turns over or sometimes it won't turn over, but the light and everything comes on. I really don't feel like I'm helpless not to have my car running so that I can get around and don't want to lose my job.
