I was driving on a city street and i was turning at a stop light when my car made a very strange sound. i could not steer the car so i pulled over and upon looking underneath the vehicle and under the hood the motor had shifted due to a rotting cradle mount.

Tl* the contact owns a 2004 chrysler pacifica. while driving approximately 55 mph in the rain, the instrument panel lighting and the abs indicator began to flash. in addition, the windshield wipers stopped working, the vehicle suddenly jolted forward, and stalled. the next day, after restarting the engine, the vehicle operated normally. the failure was not diagnosed or repaired. the manufacturer and local dealer were not notified. the failure mileage was 150,000.
We own a 2004 chrysler pacifica with around 117k miles on it. my daughter drives it. while changing the engine oil on it last weekend, i noticed severe corrosion (perforation actually) of the vehicle engine cradle. the passenger side of the cross member is rusted completely through on the bottom and the driver side is about 70% rusted through. as this cross member is what holds the engine in the vehicle and acts as the base of the front suspension, i don't believe this vehicle is safe to drive anymore. should this structural component fail during highway driving, i believe the vehicle would become unstable and uncontrollable which would be a hazard to the driver, passengers and other motorists. yes, we live in wisconsin (part of the salt belt), but this amount of corrosion on such a crucial structural component is crazy! the vehicle has only been on the road for 14 yrs and for only 117k mi. i would understand if the body started to deteriorate in that amount of time, but not a supporting frame member. i don't believe the engine cradle was properly treated against corrosion, or ...
Chrysler dealership serviced my car with a oil change. i was told my car was unsafe to drive due to motor mount rusted. i had to sign a papers that this car is unsafe to drive, they can't release the car to me. frame is rotted and unsafe to drive. i didn't expect this and wasn't ready to buy another car. i don't know if this problem was a recall for chrysler pacifica. thankfully i was told before something happened.

I have chrysler pacifica 2004. have taken good care of vehicle, no accidents. vehicle began shaking violently when driving down road. i have brand new tires . had them rebalanced couple of times . still vibrating violently. my mechanic could not find any problems except that engine cradle for engine is badly rotted out with rust. i looked on line for problem and see that chrysler had not properly coated the engine cradle and has led to frequent problems and dangerous driving conditions, due that the engine could fall out of vehicle. this is of no fault to owner. i didnt feel safe driving a vehicle that the motor could fall out of. this is a safety issue that chrysler should be responsible for. a consumer should not have to worry that there seat belt or air bag might fail and they definitely shoudnt have to worry about there engine falling out of there car while driving down the road, which could lead to a wreck or fire. thank you for your time and consideration.
Engine cradle rusted out to the point the engine dropped. my daughter was driving home from work on i94west out of milwaukee when she heard a clunk. she was able to dive to our restaurant and park. i had the vehicle towed to an auto mechanic and that is when he told me that it engine cradle was rusted out.

Engines stalls intermittently while driving then shutters and continues to run. happens 3 to 4 times during say a 25 mile drive . i feel it is very unsafe . also stalls at idle at stop sign but restarts immediately and runs as if nothing happened . i got online to see if others had similar problem and seen other similar problems where they said it was software related and had to go to dealership to be reprogrammed.
I purchased a used vehicle from a local auto dealership on january 30, 2017. after driving the vehicle everyday for about a week i began noticed the car would shake and pull to the left even while driving at very slow speeds.on february 23, 2017 i took the newly purchased chrysler pacifica in for an oil change. i received a call from the mechanic about 15 mins after i dropped the vehicle off and he informed me that my front engine cradle was severely rusted and if i continued to drive it the engine could fall out at any minute. i rushed back to the location that my vehicle was being serviced and i was shocked at how bad the engine cradle actually was. there was at least an inch gap indicating it was beginning to separate from the body of the car. i took pictures of the damage and emailed them to the dealer that sold me the vehicle. i also did a quick internet search for front engine cradle damage in 2004 chrysler pacifica's and came across numerous consumer complaints having the same issues with 2004 pacifica's. i also found chrysler previously issued an extended warranty to resolve ...
I drove to my friends house, and 15 minutes later my car was engulfed in flames! the fire chief said it was an electrical problem that started the fire. my car was not running, and i was not in it.
Took my pacifica in to get hose looked at and some new tires. was called and told to come get my car and park it. was told that engine cradle had rust and rot and that it was not safe to drive. i've had this car for almost 10 years and had never heard of this. i drive every day and need my car.
