  THE ENGINE CRADLE SUB FRAME HAS ROTTED TO THE POINT WHERE THE CAR WILL NOT PASS A NY SAFETY INSPECTION. ALL OTHER FRAME COMPONENTS ARE IN GOOD SHAPE, SO IT BEGS THE QUESTION AS TO WHAT WAS DIFFERENT ABOUT THE MANUFACTURING OF THE SUB-FRAME? THE ISSUE IS REPAIRABLE, BUT IT IS A PRETTY COSTLY FIX (APPROX $2000) AND IT INVOLVES FINDING A REPLACEMENT PART FROM A VEHICLE OUTSIDE OF THOSE STATES THAT ROUTINELY DEAL WITH ROAD SALT IN THE WINTER.

  TOOK MY 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA IN FOR BRAKE SERVICE AND WAS TOLD BY THE TECHNICIAN THAT THE ENGINE SUB-FRAME IS ROTTED AND IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY MECHANIC SEARCHED AROUND FOR SUB-FRAME AND THE LEAST EXPENSIVE USED WAS $950.00 PLUS LABOR. IN INVESTIGATING THE VEHICLE IT SEEMS THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH SUB-FRAME ON THE CHRYSLER PACIFICA FROM 2004-2008. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS PART?

• 12/05/2015· STRUCTURE

  ON 12/4/15 WE TOOK OUR 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FOR AN OIL CHANGE. WHEN WE PICKED UP THE VEHICLE THE MECHANIC AT THE DEALERSHIP EXPLAINED TO US THAT THE SUBFRAME THAT HOLDS THE ENGINE OF THE VEHICLE IN PLACE IS RUSTED AND WILL NOT PASS ANNUAL PA INSPECTION WITHOUT BEING REPLACED. WE WERE QUOTED AN AMOUNT OF $2,009.28 FOR JUST THE PARTS TO REPLACE THE RUSTED SUBFRAME. THIS DID NOT INCLUDE ANY LABOR. THE VEHICLE ONLY HAS 73,000 MILES ON IT AND HAS BEEN GARAGE KEPT SINCE THE DAY IT WAS BOUGHT BRAND NEW IN 2006. AFTER SOME EXTENSIVE RESEARCH, THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM IN 2004-2008 CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CONCERNING THIS ISSUE DUE TO THE SAFETY CONCERN THIS POSES FOR MYSELF AND MY FAMILY AS WELL AS THE FACT THAT THIS SHOULD NOT BE HAPPENING TO A VEHICLE THAT IS LESS THAN 10 YEARS OLD AND GARAGE KEPT. THE CONTACT AT CHRYSLE ACKNOWLEDGED THAT THIS IS A PROBLEM, BUT THAT OUR VEHICLE WAS NOT COVERED UNDER A WARRANTY THAT CHRYSLER ISSUED FOR 2004-2005 PACIFICAS. I FIND IT COMPLETELY IRRESPOSIBLE OF CHRYSLER TO DENY FIXING THIS ISSUE WHEN THEY ARE WELL AWARE THAT THEY DID NOT PROVIDE ENOUGH COATING OF THIS PART WHILE MANUFACTURING THIS VEHICLE. I HAVE A PICTURE OF THE DAMAGE BUT HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO ATTACH IT TO THIS FORM. IF WE ATTEMPT TO FIX THE ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE, WE WILL BE PUTTING MORE MONEY INTO THE VEHICLE THAN WHAT IT IS WORTH AND IF WE TRY TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE, WE WILL NOT BE GIVEN THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE DUE TO THE REQUIRED COSTLY REPAIR TO PASS INSPECTION. PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS AS CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR THEIR FAILURE TO MANUFACTURE A SAFE VEHICLE.

I NOTIFIED MY DEALER SEVERAL TIMES AND THEY SAY THERE ISN'T MUCH THEY CAN DO. IT IS A HUGE SAFETY HAZARD DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD IF YOU ACCIDENTALLY ROLL THE WINDOW DOWN.

HOWEVER, THIS VEHICLE IS IN GREAT CONDITION GARAGE KEPT ALL OF ITS LIFE UNLESS DRIVING, NO SURFACE RUST,ETC ETC. BASICALLY A GREAT CAR. I WENT TO GET THE OIL CHANGED AND THE TECHNICIAN TOLD ME BY THE WAY THERE IS A BIG RUT HOLE IN THE SUB FRAME AND YOU MIGHT WANT TO HAVE THAT LOOKED AT. HE ALSO STATED IT LOOKS STRANGE BECAUSE THE REST OF THE CAR IS IN SUCH GREAT SHAPE. I HAD NEW STRUTS AND TIE ROD INSTALLED ABOUT 2 YEARS AGO SO I TOOK IT IN THERE TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT NEXT. I WAS THEN TOLD THIS IS AMAZING, BUT WE HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE ON THESE CHRYSLER PACIFICAS! (RED FLAG). THEY TOLD ME TO CHECK WITH THE DEALER BECAUSE THERE IS PROBABLY A RECALL ON IT. I THEN CALLED THE DEALER TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO HAVE IT LOOKED AT. THE SERVICE TECH TOLD ME HE KNOWS WHAT I AM TALKING ABOUT AND TOOK MY VIN NUMBER OVER THE PHONE. AFTER A FEW MINUTES HE TOLD ME THERE WAS AN EXTENDED WARRANTY FOR THIS CASE AND UNFORTUNATELY IT DID NOT COVER MY VIN. THEN HE SUGGESTED I CALL CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE TO COMPLAIN AND SEE WHERE IT GETS ME. (NICE). AFTER SPEAKING WITH CHRYSLER AND TOLD THEM THE STORY AND HOW IT BASICALLY RENDERS MY CAR UNSAFE TO DRIVE SHE EXPLAINED TO ME THAT THERE WAS A WARRANTY FOR A 6 WEEK PERIOD IN 2004 AND I DID NOT QUALIFY. I HAVE READ NUMEROUS ARTICLES ON THE INTERNET NOW ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND POSSIBLE CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. NEEDLESS TO SAY, I DRIVE AROUND WITH CHILDREN IN THE CAR AND THIS THING IS A TIME BOMB AND CHRYSLER NEEDS TO ADMIT THERE IS A PROBLEM AND WARN ALL CURRENT OWNERS BEFORE SOMEONE GETS INJURED OR KILLED!
