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.
The information about how many O2 sensors are in the 2005 is lacking. There are re-posts of it being 2 or 4. I went to the Chrysler dealer and the computer says two but when the guy printed the picture, it shows four. However, the mechanics could not find the "other" two. So the codes for a bad downstream O2 is still appearing and in Illinois you have to pass the emissions test.
Seriously?! How the heck should one figure it out? And if there are four, then where are they? What is the correct answer?
