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.
The AC only works part of the time. Some days it will work great but the more I drive the less it works. It blows just fine but then it will stop working and blow hot air. Just replaced the compressor ($800) and it worked great for about 2 weeks. We also replaced the pressure valve but still having problems! I am at my wits end and it is HOT! I have 2 small children that do not need to be in the heat. HELP
