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.

No one seems to be able to fix this problem. Dealer said it was a sensor and replaced it twice with no correction.
I have researched the problem enough to know this is a common issue with this car and I have yet to find a solution.
I would say this is a dangerous issue and the manufacturer must be aware of these problems. Why has there not been a recall or at least a way to fix this problem before I get killed when the brakes won't stop me in time.
