The chassis that connects under the engine from left front tire to right front tire , was diagnosed by a certified auto repair shop. that the metal was not treated properly to stop the metal from corroding and the possibility of the engine falling or steering compromised ,i was instructed by chrysler in detroit michigan to take the automobile to the nearest dealership zieglers in schaumburg il 60172 , to have a dealer look at it , and the dealer wants to charge me almost $150.00 because they want a case # first but the people we talked to at chrysler in detroit , noeloyn and angelica at 1-800-247-9753 said they were just going to make a notation of it . this problem became known to myself when the temp dropped below 20 degrees around new year day , driving . i heard and felt like something was wrong with the suspension . i took it to a mechanic , who then referred me to a body shop ,elmars on north ave in glendale heights ,il 60139 who said the chassie part under the engine was not coated to stop it from deteriorating, but it is so ...

Subframe rotting, vehicle well maintained , now scarred to drive that i see that for myself

I had the oil changed on december 20th, 2017, and when i picked up the car, the mechanic told me the engine was ready to fall out. he said the sub frame that supports the engine was rotted out and ready to fail. i was advised not to drive the car in this condition.i was given a quote of around $3,000.00 to fix it. i've been driving for over 50 years and never heard of any car experiencing this problem.

Car mileage 59,698. in december 2017 took my car for a tire rotation as the 2 front tires are showing visible wear and was told by mechanic that my sub frame below the engine is rotted out. and yep saw it for myself. both sides of frame rotted out with visible holes. was told something along the lines of there are cracks or seams which allowed water and junk in but no where for it to exit. was quoted $1600 to replace. very upset as we have to pay for this out of pocket and vehicle is not safe to drive other then very short distances until we can afford to fix it. also we are thinking 2 front tires are out of tread and need replaced was/is caused from the sub frame being defective and throwing vehicle tires out of balance. so as well, we have to purchase 2 new tires. fix i

I have owned this 2006 chrysler pacifica fwd touring model since brand new. we live in michigan so of course there are winter issues associated with cars in general. 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 ...
