Example complaints

Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.

“Has taken to state inspection and they said there's rust. Didn't think of it as a big issue until I read the hazards of rusting frame on the engine could drop the engine while driving. Now not driving it. It had a tire rod repaired last year and still went out this year. It might be due to corrosion. A lot of electronic problems too. Felt like wasted my money every year keeping this vehicle in shape. This state also likes selling these types of vehicle so they can juice folks money every year for inspections and repair. …”

“Husband took car in to have motor mounts fixed. Have been bad since we bought the car, on 1/28/12. Along with a lot of other issues we didn't understand. Ac stopped working. Stalled while driving 55 MPH., always shook after a certain speed, electrical, car jerked forward at a stop, tire pressure always read 2-3 tires low even after having new tires put on and aligned. Defog never worked. Weird sound in front of suspension, power train module, etc., etc. But the worst of all is when we tried to have the motor mounts fixed back in december . …”

“There was no incident, motor mounts break at ease and have been on back order since october of 08. I was told by rep at Chrysler that mounts on pacificas always break way before they are supposed to. I have been waiting 7 months for replacement but Chrysler doesn't seem to have a clue as to when they'll be in. Last I check which was last week could be months. The mounts are needed to keep the engine from falling out , no mounts means I can't drive my only car.”

“The windshield wipers and electrical systems failed during a mild rain. We got the vehicle to a Chrysler dealer and contracted for them to put it on the lift. We've learned that the main wiring harnesses on many 2004 pacificas - such as ours - have collected water for years due to their design on the 2004 Pacifica, and have completely corroded. This substantially compromised our safety, as we exited the road having lost windshield wipers, all electrical, etc., we attempted to use the horn which also was no longer working.”

NHTSA complaint #10478658, filed 2012-10, 130,000 miles

“My 2004 Chrysler Pacifica stalls out of nowhere when I'm driving it can be when I'm driving at 5 miles or even 20,30 or even 50 miles or if I'm making a turn which is very scary when my steering wheel locks up on me. It also wont start all the time I've had my car in the shop over 20 time to find out what's going on, I've spent over 5,000.00 dollars trying to fix it but to no avail. I've been doing some research on this issue and there are tunes of people with the same problem on 04, 05, and 06 Chrysler Pacifica's but only the 05's have a recall on the PCM. …”
