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.
My car is accelerating on its own. Let my foot off of the gas and it wouldn't stop. Applied the brake and it still was accelerating on its own. got it over to the side of road shut it off. Then started it was fine. Then hours later it did it again this time worse and barely got it to the side of the road shut it off waited and it wouldn't stop accelerating.
