CAR BEGAN TO MAKE LOUD, ABRUPT KNOCKING NOISE FROM RIGHT SIDE, PASSENGER FRONT OF VEHICLE. WE TOOK IT TO THREE SEPARATE REPAIR SHOPS FOR EVALUATION AND AT ALL THREE REPAIRS SHOPS WERE TOLD THAT OUR ENGINE CRADLE WAS SO BADLY ROTTED AND RUSTED THAT THE CAR WAS NOT DRIVABLE. IT WAS A HUGE SAFETY CONCERN AS THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION CAN BOTH DROP OUT OF THE VEHICLE AT ANY MOMENT WITHOUT WARNING. THIS HAS BEEN A KNOWN ISSUE TO CHRYSLER AND THEY ARE NOT ASSISTING CURRENT OWNERS WITH REPAIR.

ENGINE MOUNT/CRADLE HAS RUSTED THROUGH. THE CAR DOESN'T HAVE 100,000 MILES YET. THIS ISSUE PROBABLY STARTED YEARS AGO AND NO MECHANIC NOTIFIED ME BEFORE THE WARRANTY RAN OUT. I UNDERSTAND THAT CHRYSLER ISN'T COVERING 2006 MODELS EVEN THOUGH THEY KNOW THIS IS AN ISSUE. I WAS TOLD CONTINUING TO DRIVE THE CAR WAS DANGEROUS, BUT THIS IS A VERY COSTLY FIX - MORE THAN THE CAR IS WORTH - CONSIDERING CHRYSLER WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR NOT COATING THE ENGINE CRADLE TO PREVENT THIS FROM HAPPENING. IT IS AFFECTING STEERING AND HANDLING OF CAR AS WELL.
THE ENGINE CRADLE IS RUSTED OUT MAKING THIS CAR EXTREMELY UNSAFE TO DRIVE. THIS CAR HAS BEEN MAINTAINED THROUGHOUT ITS LIFE AND IS IN EXCELLENT SHAPE OTHERWISE. HOWEVER, THE COST TO REPLACE THE CRADLE HAS BEEN QUOTED AT $2500.00.

I WAS ON FREEWAY DOING 60_70 MILES PER HOUR WHEN I NOTICED MY CAR FELT LIKE IT WAS NOT ACCELERATING AND GAS PEDAL FELT STIFF LIKE WHEN CAR IS OFF. I HAD MY WHOLE FAMILY IN CAR AND I COULD OF WRECKED IF I DIDN'T NOTICE IN TIME TO PUT CAR IN NEUTRAL AND RESTARTED IT SOME HOW BEFORE WE GOT REAR ENDED. I GOT OFF FREEWAY SOMEHOW AND TURNED CAR ON AND OFF AGAIN A FEW TIMES AND IT SEEMED LIKE IT WAS A ONE TIME THING . A FEW MILES LATER IT DID SAME THING AND I WAS STALLED OUT IN MIDDLE OF ON COMING TRAFFIC . CARS BRAKED AND SWERVED OUT OF MY WAY TO AVOID REAR ENDING US . MY CHILDREN WERE SCARED CAUSE OF THIS HAPPENING OUT OF THE BLUE. I NOW HAVE NO DESIRE TO EVEN DRIVE MY CAR WITH ANY OF MY FAMILY IN IT INCASE THIS HAPPENS AGAIN. I CONTACTED CHRYSLER BUT THEY CLAIMED MY VIN WASN'T PART OF THE F44 RECALLS BUT I KNOW IT IS SAME ISSUES...I WILL BE TAKING CAR TO CHRYSLER FIRST THING IN MORNING TO LEAVE THEM CAR TO FIND OUT WHY MY FAMILY ALMOST GOT IN ACCIDENT DUE TO THIS ISSUE. SO IN TOTAL IT STALLED OUT ON ME 6 TIMES TWICE ON FREEWAY THE REST ON CITY STREETS JUST TO GET HOME ....THIS IS A SERIOUS ISSUE THAT COULD OF KILLED EVERYONE IN MY VEHICLE IF I DIDN'T REACT FAST ENOUGH TO AVOID THAT FROM HAPPENING..

4AQ10001 · Fleet Vehicle Recall Completion Audit
Opened Nov 18, 2010 · Closed Dec 28, 2015
Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Unknown Or Other
On November 18, 2010, NHTSA's Recall Management Division (RMD) opened an audit query (AQ10-001) to investigate recall remedy completion by rental car companies on safety recall campaigns.It was expected to provide the agency an indication of how completely and how quickly rental car fleets perform necessary recall-related remedies on the vehicles owned and then rented/leased for use on the roadways.RMD queried three (3) major motor vehicle manufacturers (Ford, Chrysler, and General Motors) and requested data regarding completion figures for fifteen (15) discreet safety recalls.Analysis of this data demonstrated that rental car recalls completion was neither complete nor consistent.The rental car companies representing the largest market share in the industry were then queried as to their respective policies for the rental, lease, and sale of vehicles with open recalls.The data and responses from the manufacturers and the rental car companies can be found in the document repository by accessing the ?Associated Documents link above.In December 2015, Congress enacted the Fixing America's Surface Transportation (FAST) Act.One section of the Act prohibits rental car companies from renting, leasing, or selling motor vehicles subject to open safety recalls.With the passage of the FAST Act and its prohibition, there is no continuing need for the agency to investigate rental car recall completions.Accordingly, this investigation is closed.The agency reserves the right to open any future investigations, including audits of individual recalls, or groups of recalls, or rental car companies, to examine more closely safety recalls performance and completion issues in this area.

THERE WERE 17,375 VEHICLES BUILT DURING AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER 2004 THAT WERE AFFECTED BY BOTH THE FUEL PUMP MODULE AND PCM SOFTWARE CONDITIONS.THERE WERE 30 VOQS SUBMITTED TO ODI, 58 CONSUMER COMPLAINTS TO DCC AND 829 FIELD REPORTS RELATING TO VEHICLES PRODUCED DURING THIS PERIOD.WHILE THESE ARE MOSTLY RELATED TO THE FUEL PUMP CONDITION, SOME MAY HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE SOFTWARE FAULT.THE RESULTING STALL WHILE DRIVING FAILURE RATE FOR THIS PERIOD IS 5,278 INCIDENTS PER 100,000 VEHICLES.THERE WERE TWO CRASHES ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THESE INCIDENTS.THERE WERE 1,021 WARRANTY CLAIMS FOR FUEL PUMP MODULE REPLACEMENT THAT APPEAR RELATED TO ENGINE STALL (5.9% CLAIM RATE). THE POPULATION FOR THE REMAINING VEHICLES INCLUDED IN 06V-432 (I.E., THOSE ONLY AFFECTED BY THE SOFTWARE CONDITION) IS 114,523.THERE WERE 97 VOQS, 124 CONSUMER COMPLAINTS TO DCC AND 454 DCC FIELD REPORTS RELATING TO THESE VEHICLES.THE RESULTING STALL WHILE DRIVING FAILURE RATE IS 589 PER 100,000 VEHICLES.THERE WERE SEVEN CRASHES ALLEGED TO HAVE RESULTED FROM THESE INCIDENTS.THERE WERE 3,211 WARRANTY CLAIMS FOR PCM REFLASH THAT APPEAR RELATED TO ENGINE STALL IN THE TOTAL POPULATION OF 131,898 VEHICLES (2.4% CLAIM RATE). ALL CALCULATIONS ARE BASED ON UNIQUE VINS (MULTIPLE/REPEAT FAILURES NOT INCLUDED IN THESE CALCULATIONS) WITH NO DUPLICATION ACROSS CATEGORIES.DCC'S RECALL WILL REPROGRAM THE PCM SOFTWARE AND REPLACE THE FUEL PUMP MODULES IN ALL AFFECTED VEHICLES.THIS ENGINEERING ANALYSIS HAS BEEN CLOSED.

ANALYSIS OF THE INFORMATION PROVIDED BY CHRYSLER DURING PE05-050, PE06-009 AND EA06-010 SHOW THAT THE FRONT SURFACE OF THE FUEL TANKS IN THE SUBJECT PACIFICA VEHICLES IS NOT COMPLETELY PROTECTED FROMROAD DEBRIS BY THE FLOOR PAN OR OTHER BODY STRUCTURE.THE TANKS WERE COMPARED WITH PEER VEHICLES, INCLUDING SEVERAL IDENTIFIED BY CHRYSLER AS SHARING SIMILAR DESIGN CHARACTERISTICS (UNSHIELDED HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE PLASTIC FUEL TANKS IN A SADDLEBAG CONFIGURATION).SOME OF THE PEER DESIGNS REVIEWED BY ODI PACKAGED THE TANKS IN RECESSED CAVITIES IN THE FLOOR PAN OR USED SHIELDS TO PROTECT EXPOSED SURFACES ON THE FRONT OF THE TANK.IN GENERAL, THESE TANKS HAD THE LOWEST COMPLAINT RATES FOR TANK PUNCTURE BY ROAD DEBRIS.
