I recently had some work done on my Chrysler Pacifica and my mechanic found that I had two large rotted out holes in my engine cradle. I called Chrysler and the gentleman in customer service stated over and over again that my auto was ten years old. I went to go use the warranty that I purchased at cars 4 you, llc and found out that the dealer never submitted the application for the warranty but pocketed the money from the finance company. Honor finance knew what the dealer had done to few people but did not feel the need to warn everyone who bought an auto from the same dealer. Here I am with a Pacifica that I owe $6,000 no warranty and two large holes in my engine cradle. Never ever will I buy a Chrysler product. Their motto is customer satisfaction is priority one but this must be for the first ten years only.

I bought a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in may of 2016. When I took it to a garage due to a clunking sound in the front end it was discovered that the engine cradle was rusted through on both sides. Many areas under the car are very badly rusted like a car three times as old.

Took the 2005 Chrysler Pacifica in for an oil change. The technician brought this to our attention and would not perform the oil change because he did not feel safe. Now I have to find some way to come up with $3000 ‐ 5000 to repair. I still owe $7000 on it. My wife and 2 children ride in this on a daily basis and now the engine could just drop out of it.

Subframe near engine mount is rusted through.

- Highland, MI, USA

While having my brakes done, the mechanic informs me that the engine cradle/cross brace is nearly rusted through and that the engine may fall out at any moment. There is only a single bolt holding the engine in. I don't yet have pictures to upload. No recall warning was ever received and I have owned this car for 8 years.

I am the original owner of this 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. I recently took it in for appraisal as a trade-in towards a newer vehicle. The dealership informed me that the car was unsafe due to sever cradle engine rot. They also told me that there was a class action suit against Chrysler for this very issue on this very vehicle. The car is unsafe to sell in spite of it being in great operating condition and the rest of the exterior being in good condition. Chrysler never notified me of this known defect. Now I am stuck with a car that I cannot sell because it has been deemed unsafe. I do not feel that I should be responsible for repairing this rot (if it even can be repaired), as it now appears (from what I have read online) that Chrysler was very well aware of this defect and chose to deceive their customers rather than make it right for them. What do I do now?

Typical rust through of engine cradle sub frame (K frame) of a Pacifica SUV almost causing the engine to drop through to the ground. Discovered the rust through, and subsequent engine shift, in mid October 2015 @ approximately 144,000 miles, while car was up on a lift. Car was no longer drivable due to this condition. Had a local Chrysler dealership's repair shop to replace the cradle frame and motor mounts shortly thereafter. They disavowed any help or their involvement in getting Chrysler to cover the repair of a known defect. Called Chrysler's customer service and was told my Pacifica was not part of the extended warranty issued for a small number of and short production run of Pacificas. Am attempting to again contact Chrysler customer service via letter and ask for help with the cost of repairs. Also trying to join the class action group that is suing Chrysler over this issue. Law firm in columbus, oh is lead counsel on the case. I love this car for all its attributes and that is was developed, built and sold while Mercedes Benz owned Chrysler, giving it a much higher quality in my opinion. Present day Fiat Chrysler doesn't seem to want to help out on this issue.

Rusted engine cradle with fractured frame mounting discovered when searching for a drip source under the vehicle. This is a known manufacturing defect, yet the corporation did not warn me of this problem, despite a recall for other Pacificas made within a very narrow manufacturing window of time. This is unacceptable and now provides a risk to driving. What am I to do?

- West Bloomfield, MI, USA

Took my 2005 Pacifica to my local mechanic for an oil change. Was told that the lower sub-frame on the front passenger side was rusted and corroded. He said it could have been due to condensation from the A/C or road salt. Will soon be replacing the vehicle since it's no longer under warranty. Very shameful that I see a lot of complaints about rust damage on the lower frame and still no recall.

Engine frame rusted out.

- Twin Lake, MI, USA

Driving to work and I notice that the small snow build up in the center of the road was hitting my under carriage so I go to my mechanic on the way home and he looks under the car. I didn't realize when I had him take a look it would be the last time I could drive that car unless I wanted to pay thousands of dollars to fix the rotted subframe that holds my engine in. Chrysler knows this is a problem but refuses to fix it. My mechanic says this should never happen with a car, which makes sense that you need your engine and transmission not to fall out! is there a number of injuries and fatalities that have to happen before the makers will recall a car for a problem they know is happening?

Purchased 2005 Chrysler Pacifica limited 4 years ago. Currently 109,000 miles.. had been hearing a clunky noise for a short time took it in to get checked😔 mechanic came back with ghastly news. Tie rods, bushings, water pump, rear axle shaft oilseal and worst of all cradle was rusting through. Over $7000 to fix all. I thought I would faint. No way could I do all the repairs. Upon reading all complaints Chrysler should fix the rustimg problem. Shame on them for letting these cars on the road knowing this could happen to families purchasing their vehicles and possibly having a fatal accidemt occuring when the engine falls out.
