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.

Battery would die after having door open for short period of time for loading/unloading items. I had to get jump-started 4 times in a 1-week period. When taken to "autozone" to purchase new battery, they told me battery was still good that it just needed to be charged. But when it continued doing it, I got alternator checked and they stated it was bad. Now I have to wait until service dept. Can see me for service.
