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. Read more »
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
