2005 Chrysler Pacifica engine problems

ENGINE

2005 Chrysler Pacifica was purchased from a friend’s grandfather who kept the car garaged the car is literally like new inside and out the under carriage looks like new no rust I was impressed but had a rattling in the front end I figured it was a strut took it in to have struts and all front end parts replaced to my surprise I get a call from the shop engine cradle and it bushings rusted out tried buying a replacement unavailable after doing some digging it’s a common problem among the Pacifica I’m afraid to drive it was told when it completely fails it’s going to be catastrophic incident. I understand it a 20 yo car but no rust anywhere on the body or the undercarriage but the engine cradle is almost completely rusted out to the point that the car is not safe to drive something is definitely wrong and reading others reporting the same issue I don’t know there car’s condition but like I said mine is rust free even the undercarriage but the engine cradle is totally rusted out something is wrong here Chrysler had to know something about this it should be recalled or at the very least make the engine cradle available for purchase and fix the rusting issue with it!! I have literally replaced the entire suspension front and back new shocks and struts tires brakes trying to fix the rattle to find out it’s the cradle bushings and cradle are the issue and it’s no longer offered and used ones are all damaged by rust it’s pretty bad the car is going to have to be junked unless I put another used damaged engine cradle on it ! What to do ?

My engine in my car just shut down in the middle of driving. I was told it was a recall and was fixed yrs ago but it has happened 3 times since. Twice after getting gas and one time driving in the school parking lot. Lost all control of power steering and time of engine trouble. Car started back up and engine light came on and went back of and back on. Also smelt burning wires but couldn’t find anything

SMOKE CAME OUT FROM BACK PASSENGER REAR TIRE. LET MY CAR SIT OVER NIGHT TRIED TO START IT THE NEXT MORNING, AGAIN IT WOULD NOT START.

I AM THE SOLE OWNER OF MY 2005 PACIFICA, BOUGHT IT BRAND NEW AND HAVE HAD IT SERVICED BY THE SAME CHRYSLER DEALERSHIP SINCE I BOUGHT IT. I BROUGHT IT IN FOR AN OIL CHANGE ON FEB. 19, 2019 AND WAS INFORMED THE ENGINE CROSSMEMBER IS RUSTED OUT AND NEEDS REPLACEMENT ASAP. THE DEALERSHIP HAS NEVER MENTIONED THIS PREVIOUSLY, AND THEY HAVE CHANGED OIL EVERY 3-4 MONTHS FOR 14 YEARS. AFTER RECEIVING THE NEWS, I HAVE RESEARCHED THIS ISSUE AND CHRYSLER (AS WELL AS THE DEALERSHIP) HAS KNOWN ABOUT THIS FOR YEARS AND HAS NOT SAID ANYTHING. REPAIR COST IS ESTIMATED AT $3,000. I HAVE GARAGE KEPT THIS CAR SINCE I PURCHASED IT AND IT LOOKS IS IN GREAT CONDITION, BOTH INSIDE AND OUT, UNTIL YOU LOOK UNDER THE CAR.

DANGEROUS...MY 05 PACIFICA ENGINE MOUNT AND SUBFRAME ARE COMPLETELY RUSTED AND THE ENGINE IS ON THE VERGE OF DROPPING OUT POTENTIALLY CAUSING SERIOUS INJURIES OR DEATH. I FOUND THIS OUT DURING AN OIL CHANGE. NOW AS I DRIVE THE STEERING WHEEL SHAKES AND FRONT PASSENGER SIDE MAKES KNOCKING NOISE. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO FIX IT OR THE CREDIT TO GET A NEWER VEHICLE. MY ONLY CHOICE IS TO DRIVE IT UNTIL SOMETHING BAD HAPPENS, THEN MAYBE CHRYSLER WILL DO WHAT'S RIGHT AND SEND OUT A RECALL. PLEASE HELP ALL OF US COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS SAME ISSUE. THERE ARE HUNDREDS IF NOT THOUSANDS OF COMPLAINTS OF THIS EXACT SAME ISSUE. I LOVED THIS VEHICLE, NOW I'M SCARED TO DRIVE IT AT ALL.

WHILE DRIVING THE CAR THE ENGINE MOUNTS BREAK AWAY FROM THE ENGINE, CAUSING A ROUGH VIBRATION ON THE FLOOR PAN OF THE VEHICLE. THIS PROBLEM STARTED HAPPENING ON 10/31/05, 11/04/05, 10/26/06 TO PRESENT, I HAVE TO CONSTANTLY REPLACE THE ENGINE MOUNTS ON THIS VEHICLE AND I BELIEVE THE BREAKING OF THE MOUNTS AFFECTS THE SUSPENSION OF THE VEHICLE. THE BREAKING OF THE AXLE AND TIE RODS FROM THE PRESSURE OF THE ENGINE JERKING WITH THE MOUNTS BREAK. I'VE BOUGHT ENGINE MOUNTS WITH LIFETIME WARRANTIES BEING I HAVE TO REPLACE THESE MOUNTS SO OFTEN.

MY VEHICLE STARTED MAKING A CLUNK NOISE FROM THE ENGINE AREA AND STOPPED SHIFTING OUT OF SECOND GEAR. I TOOK VEHICLE IN TO A REPAIR SHOP FOR TRANSMISSION SERVICE AND WAS TOLD BY THE REPAIR SHOP THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE BECAUSE THE ENGINE CRADLE HAS CORROSION AND HAS RUSTED TO THE POINT THAT THE ENGINE IS ABOUT TO FALL OUT THE VEHICLE WHICH MOST LIKELY CAUSED THE TRANSMISSION TO FAIL. THIS WAS DISCOVERED WHILE MY VEHICLE WAS BEING LIFTED ON THE HOIST. THE REPAIR SHOP SAID THEY ARE AFRAID TO KEEP THE VEHICLE ON THE HOIST BECAUSE SOMEONE COULD GET INJURED WHILE UNDERNEATH IT.

I TOOK MY CAR TO THE CHRYSLER DEALER FOR A ROUTINE OIL AND MISC FILTER CHANGE ON OCTOBER 4, 2017. I WAS SHOWN THE DETERIORATION/DISINTEGRATION OF THE CROSS MEMBER/CRADLE ROT OF THE CAR. OF COURSE, THEY SHOWED ME THE CRADLE ROT ISSUE AFTER THE $334 OF WORK THEY'D DONE! I'D INQUIRED ABOUT A VIBRATION OR LOUD HUM SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT END OF MY CAR ON MARCH 22, 2017 WHEN I HAD AN EARLIER OIL CHANGE. ON THE SERVICE ORDER, IT WAS NOTED AS "ENGINE PERFORMANCE CONCERN," BUT I SAID I THOUGHT IT WAS WITH THE ACCELERATION OR ROTATION OF THE TIRES THAT WAS MAKING THE SOUND. "THE TECHNICIAN SUPPOSEDLY CHECKED IT OUT AND SAID IT WAS FOUND TO BE OPERATING NORMALLY AT THIS TIME. THEY SAID IT WAS PROBABLY "TIRE NOISE." TODAY, I NOW UNDERSTAND WHY THE FRONT END OF MY CAR HAS BEEN LOUDER THAN WHAT I REMEMBERED IT. TODAY I JUST DISCOVERED THE ACTUAL ISSUE WITH MY CAR IS TYPICAL OF MANY 2005 PACIFICAS. I'M SURE I AM NOT THE FIRST 2005 PACIFICA OWNER THAT HAS HAD THEIR VEHICLE SERVICED AT THEIR FACILITY, AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OF PACIFICAS. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN OCCURRING FOR A SIGNIFICANT EXTENT OF TIME; I'M QUITE DISTURBED THAT THE DEALER'S NEGLIGENCE IN NOT INFORMING ME OF THIS PROBLEM MUCH EARLIER CAN OR COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY TO MYSELF AS WELL AS OTHER DRIVERS. I'M SURE I AM NOT THE FIRST 2005 PACIFICA OWNER THAT HAS HAD THEIR VEHICLE SERVICED AT THEIR FACILITY, AND THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THIS PROBLEM WITH THIS PARTICULAR YEAR OF PACIFICAS. I STILL SEE SEVERAL 2005 PACIFICAS DRIVING ON THE STREETS, ROADS AND INTERSTATES. I JUST HOPE THESE PACIFICA OWNERS WILL BE MADE AWARE OF THIS SERIOUS ISSUE. I HAVE RELIGIOUSLY TAKEN CARE OF MY CAR BECAUSE I REALLY LOVE IT, AND I INTENDED TO KEEP IT FOR A FEW MORE YEARS AND SEVERAL THOUSAND MORE MILES. I'M LOOKING FOR A CAR. NOW

2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. CONSUMER WRITES IN REGARDS TO SEVERE CORROSION AND ENGINE CRACKS. *LD UPDATED 09/12/2017

NHTSA complaint #11021991 — an unverified report by a vehicle owner.

ENGINE

SUB-FRAME BROKE ON ME. IT IS THE EXACT PART THAT WAS RECALLED FOR THE 2004 PACIFICA. HOWEVER THERE IS NO RECALL FOR 2005? THE SUB FRAME BROKE WHILE I WAS DRIVING, WITH A CHILDREN IN CAR SEATS IN THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A REAL SAFETY CONCERN, ESPECIALLY IN THE "SALT BELT" CHRYSLER'S SELF ADMITTED INSUFFICIENT PROTECTIVE COATING ON THE SUB FRAME OF THESE CARS, SHOULD BE ENOUGH PROOF, TO RAISE EYEBROWS AND REMEDY THIS SAFETY ISSUE. I CANNOT AFFORD TO REPAIR ALL THE DAMAGE THIS CAUSED, AND PACIFICA'S CANNOT HOLD A RESELL VALUE, AS SELLING THIS TO ANOTHER PERSON, IS JUST LIKE HANDING THEM A TICKING TIME BOMB. WHY IS THERE NO SOLUTION OR HELP ON THIS ISSUE? I AM NOT ALONE WITH THESE ISSUES. I SUPPOSE IT WILL TAKE DEATHS FROM THIS FAULTY PART BEFORE ANY REAL ACTION IS ACTUALLY TAKEN. HAVING A STRONG PIECE OF METAL TO KEEP MY MOTOR FROM FALLING ON THE GROUND ISN'T TO MUCH TO ASK, OR IS IT? THE ONLY OPTION I HAVE TO KEEP MY PRIMARY VEHICLE ON THE ROAD, IS TO TRY WELDING THE SUB FRAME AND HOPE FOR THE BEST.
