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.
About 3 weeks ago my 2005 chrysler pacifica over heated. It was in the 90's so I just thought because of the heat and driving in the city that it got overheated. Yesterday it happened again. I checked the fans and they didn't work. Checked the #13 fuse and it was good. I replaced the fan relay and it still doesn't work. My mechanic checked the temp sending unit and it checks out ok. Any help?

The car runs hot, had it cleaned out and still runs hot, a piece of junk.
