2004 Chrysler Pacifica problems

“Subframe/Engine Cradle failed due to rust. Subframe is available for inspection upon request. My safety or the safety of others is put at risk due to the failed (rusted, corroded, rotted) subframe/engine cradle. Vehicle’s engine is at risk of falling through the vehicle’s frame at any moment whether the vehicle is parked or being driven. This problem has been reproduced or confirmed by a dealer or independent service center. The vehicle and the subframe component has been inspected by a Master ASE Certified Mechanic. No symptoms of the problem prior to the failure that owner has ever been made aware of.”

“DRIVING DOWN INTERSTATE WHEN THE CRUISE CUT OUT AND THE ENGINE SKIPPED. PULLED OVER TO CHECK ENGINE FLUIDS AND ALL WERE OK. NO ENGINE WARNING LIGHTS OR ANY OTHER INDICATION OF SOMETHING BEING WRONG.

VEHICLE THEN CAUGHT FIRE AND WAS TOTALLY DESTROYED.”

“THE UNDER CARRIAGE THAT HOLDS ENGINE IN PLACE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. I BOUGHT BRAND NEW TIRES FROM BELLE TIRE ON SEPTEMBER 9, 2020. BY NOVEMBER 1 2020 I WAS OBSERVING EXTREME WEAR ON THE BRAND NEW TIRES. WENT TO MY MECHANIC AND WAS TOLD THE CAR IS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE CRADLE RUST ROT, AND THE ENGINE IS ABOUT READY TO FALL OUT AND WOULD CAUSE CATASTROPHIC EMERGENCY I AND MY FAMILY COULD DIE. TRYING TO FIND REPLACEMENT AND AM BEING TOLD IT IS SUCH A PROBLEM THAT THERE IS NO PARTS AVAILABLE TO FIX THIS PROBLEM”

“UPON INSPECTION FOR NOISE RELATED TO THE FRONT STRUTS, I NOTICE THAT THE ENGINE CRADLE, LEADING EDGE WAS RUSTED ALMOST COMPLETELY AWAY. I PARKED THE VEHICLE AND LOOKED ON "HTTPS://VINRCL.SAFERCAR.GOV/VIN/VINLOOKUP" WEBSITE AND ENTERED THE VIN ([XXX]), BUT DIDN'T FIND A RECALL NOTICE. I HAVE HAD NO FEWER THAN 4 INDIVIDUALS WHO PREVIOUSLY OWNED A 1994 PACIFICA TELL ME THAT THERE WAS A RECALL AND THAT THE DEALER FIXED THE PROBLEM BY REPLACING THE CRADLE WITH A NEW ONE. CAN ANYONE HELP ME? I AM HESITANT TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE IN ITS CURRENT CONDITION AND HAVE BEEN ADVISED BY 2 MECHANICS NOT TO. I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE USED IN 2008 AND DROVE IT FOR ALMOST 5 YEARS, BUT IT'S BEEN PARKED SINCE 2013. LOOKING FOR ADVICE ON PRESERVING MY $13,000 INVESTMENT. I WAS EXPECTING TO GET 200,000 MILES OUT OF THIS VEHICLE. IT HAS ~115,000. *TR”
