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.
Due to my engine light, my car will not pass inspection right now. I have had the egm sensor replaced and gas cap, but the car still reads there is a leak in the fuel system. Now after paying $25 for a failed inspection, $755 for a new sensor and gas cap, they want to drop the engine for another $425 and will not have a idea of what additional cost I may be facing until they get in there. I am reading things about a recall on this year model, does any one have any experience in this or advice. I am thinking about filing a complaint. I need to be reimburse for their faulty build.

The engine light is on, and it won't go off. Clanking sounds underneath the front end, and cradle rust.
