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.
During routine wheel alignment i was told that they cannot perform due to the excessive engine cradle rust and that the vehicle was not safe to drive.
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.
