2005 Chrysler Pacifica engine and engine cooling problems

“The contact owns a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. The contact stated while driving approximately 55 MPH, the vehicle stalled and lost motive power in the middle of the road. There were no warning lights illuminated. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure reoccurred consistently. The contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 22V284000 (Engine and Engine Cooling) however, the VIN was not included. The approximate failure mileage was 195,000.”

“I WENT FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND WAS TOLD THAT THE ENGINE CAGE IS SEVERELY ROTTING AWAY AND DRIVING MY CAR IS A ROAD HAZARD. I ONLY HAVE 138,000 MILES ON MY CAR AND WOULD LIKE TO DRIVE IT UNTIL IT DIES...BUT RIGHT NOW I WAS TOLD THE REPLACEMENT PART IS NO LONGER MADE AND I WOULD HAVE TO FIND A SALVAGE CAR TO FIND A REPLACEMENT PART. THE QUADRANT REMAINS THAT I BOUGHT A USED CAR FROM A CHRYSLER DEALER THAT SHOULD HAVE KNOWN ABOUT THE RECALL ON THIS PART DUE TO IT NOT BEING MANUFACTURED CORRECTLY FOR CORROSION RESISTANCE. APPARENTLY I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS PROBLEM. IF I WERE TO SELL IT I WOULD BE PASSING A DANGEROUS CAR ON TO SOMEONE ELSE...I STILL OWE ON THIS CAR AND IT IS WORTH LESS THAN WHAT I OWE LET ALONE DANGEROUS TO DRIVE TO WORK 75 MILES A DAY. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO MAKE AMENDS OR REPARATIONS FOR THE LACK OF ACTION REGARDING THE SAFETY ISSUE HERE...AND THIS IS A BIG SAFETY ISSUE. *TR”

“MY ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED/ROTTED OUT AND COMPLETELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. I WAS TOLD IT CAN'T PASS INSPECTION AND WILL BE APPROXIMATELY $2,000 TO FIX. MY MECHANIC TOLD ME NOT TO DRIVE THE CAR ANYMORE, SINCE THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT.AFTER RESEARCHING ONLINE, THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM WITH THE 2005 PACIFICAS. WILL THERE BE A RECALL? WOULD APPRECIATE IT IF SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME ASAP, SINCE I NEED MY CAR TO GET TO WORK. THANK YOU. *TR”

“I TOOK MY CAR TO A SHOP FOR REPAIRS, AND THE MECHANIC WAS ALARMED TO FIND THAT THE FRAME IS SO RUSTED UNDER THE ENGINE THAT HE DEEMED IT UNSAFE TO DRIVE. MY CAR HAS 185,000 MILES ON IT, AND IS IN OTHERWISE GOOD CONDITION. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE AS THE ENGINE COULD FALL TO THE GROUND, POTENTIALLY CAUSING AN ACCIDENT. I WAS ADVISED TO GET RID OF THE VEHICLE, BUT OBVIOUSLY I CANNOT SELL IT. I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THIS POTENTIAL PROBLEM, ALTHOUGH I HAVE BECOME AWARE THAT CHRYSLER KNEW THE PROBLEM EXISTED. *TR”

“WE TOOK OUR 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA INTO LOCAL DEALERSHIP TO FIND SOURCE OF OIL LEAK. UPON EXAMINATION WE ARE TOLD THAT A MOTOR MOUNT IS LEAKING AND THAT THE SUPPORTING FRAME IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THRU AND SAID THEY WONT REPAIR THE MOTOR MOUNT WITHOUT REPLACING THE SUB FRAME. THEY TELL US THAT CHRYSLER KNOWS THEY HAVE A ISSUE BUT ONLY WILL REPAIR A VERY SMALL NUMBER OF THE VEHICLES THAT ARE AFFECTED. PEOPLE WONDER WHY PEOPLE DON'T BUY AMERICAN PRODUCTS WHEN THEY WONT STAND BEHIND THEIR SHODDY PRODUCTS. IT IS THE LAST CHRYSLER THAT I WILL PURCHASE. IF THE GOVERNMENT ORGANIZATIONS DON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT WHAT'S THE SENSE IN HAVING THEM. *TR”

“I TOOK OUR 2005 PACIFICA INTO THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP FOR A OIL LEAK. FINDING THE MOTOR MOUNT LEAKING WE ALSO DISCOVERED THE SUBFRAME COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH. UPON FURTHER EXAMINATION WE FIND OUT THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE ON THESE CARS AND CHRYSLER REFUSES TO TAKE CARE OF THIS ISSUE. *TR”
