CAR DID NOT PASS INSPECTION AND ENGINE CRADLE HAS TO BE REPLACED. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE.I WAS ADVISED TO CONTACT CHRYSLER SINCE THEY HAVE SEEN MANY PACIFICA'S WITH THE SAME PROBLEMS. AFTER TALKING TO CHRYSLER CUSTOMER SERVICE WAS TOLD THAT THEY ARE AWARE OF THE PROBLEM BUT THAT THEY ARE SORRY THAT THEY CAN NOT HELP SINCE THEY HAVE ISSUED A RECALL BUT JUST FOR LIMITED NUMBER OF CARS MANUFACTURED IN 2004, SINCE MY CAR IS NEWER IT IS NOT COVERED IN THAT RECALL. *TR

LIKE OTHER EARLY MODEL CHRYSLER PACIFICAS NOTED ON THE NHTSA SITE- MY VEHICLE WAS TAKEN INTO FOR AN OIL CHANGE AND THE SHOP INFORMED ME THE CAR WAS UNSAFE TO DRIVE DUE TO THE ENGINE CRADLE/ SUBFRAME BEING RUSTED/ROTTED OUT SO BADLY YOU COULD SEE THROUGH IT. THEY SAID THAT IF A LARGE ENOUGH BUMP WAS ROLLED OVER, THE ENGINE COULD FALL OUT AND A SERIOUS ACCIDENT COULD OCCUR AS THE VEHICLE WOULD MORE THAN LIKELY LOSE CONTROL. I AM NOW AFRAID TO ALLOW MY WIFE AND 2 SMALL CHILDREN TO DRIVE IN IT FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE USED FOR ROUGHLY $10,000 LESS THAN A YEAR PRIOR TO LEARNING ABOUT THIS SAFETY ISSUE FROM A CHRYSLER USED AND NEW CAR DEALER-BRYDEN MOTORS IN BELOIT, WI. I ALSO PURCHASED AN $2000 EXTENDED WARRANTY ON THE VEHICLE, WHICH OF COURSE SOMETHING LIKE THIS IS NOT COVERED IN SUCH A PLAN. I BELIEVE THE DAMAGE WAS THERE PRIOR TO PURCHASE AND THE DEALER EITHER FAILED TO INFORM ME, OR DIDN'T PERFORM A WELL CARED FOR INSPECTION PRIOR TO THE SALE. UPON TAKING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALER-THEY SAID IT WAS TOO FAR OUT FROM THE ORIGINAL WARRANTY AND NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THEY DID TAKE PICTURES AND SEND TO THE CHRYSLER "IMAGING DEPARTMENT" WHERE THE MANUFACTURER DEFECT CLAIM I ASKED FOR THEM TO PLACE FOR ME WAS IMMEDIATELY DENIED FOR COVERAGE. I WILL BE REACHING OUT TO CHRYSLER AND THE LOCAL MEDIA IF NECESSARY. THIS IS A WELL KNOWN AND SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN WITH THE PACIFICA MODEL AND DUE TO THE EXPENSE INVOLVED TO FIX (WAS TOLD BETWEEN $2500-$5000) ABSOLUTELY RUINS THE VALUE OF THE VEHICLE LESS THAN A YEAR AFTER PURCHASE FROM WHAT I THOUGH WAS A REPUTABLE DEALER AND A REPUTABLE BRAND SUCH AS CHRYSLER. THIS IS MY 4RD CHRYSLER/DODGE VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED IN THE PAST 19 YEARS, AND IF THE MATTER IS NOT RESOLVED, IT WILL ULTIMATELY BE MY LAST. *TR

UPON TAKING MY CAR IN FOR A ROUTINE INSPECTION TODAY I WAS MADE AWARE OF MAJOR SUBFRAME DAMAGE AND HOLES AND RUST. IT HAS APPARENTLY BEEN THIS WAY FOR A WHILE AND I WAS MORE THAN LIKELY SOLD THE CAR THIS WAY FROM THE DEALER WHO DIDN'T CORRECTLY INSPECT THE CAR YET STILL PUT PASSED STICKERS ON IT. NOW MY CAR IS UNUSABLE AND WORTHLESS CONDITION UNLESS I PAY OUT OF POCKET THE WHOLE COST OF REPLACING THE SUBFRAME. I AM VERY UPSET TO READ NOW THAT A LOT OF OTHER PACIFICA OWNERS HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS BUT CHRYSLER HAS YET TO ISSUE A RECALL AND VERY RARELY COMPENSATES THEIR CUSTOMERS. THE DEALER IS ALSO DENYING ANY WRONG DOING ON THEIR END AND SAID THE CAR WAS NOT THIS WAY A YEAR AGO. I HAVE SIGNED STATEMENTS FROM THE AUTO BODY SHOP SAYING THIS IS YEARS OF DAMAGE GONE UNNOTICED AND FIXED. I AM VERY UPSET AND NOW WITH OUT A FAMILY CAR FOR MY 4 KIDS AND HAVE NO WAY OF GETTING A NEW CAR AND CANNOT TRADE THIS IN NOW DUE TO THE SEVERITY OF THE DAMAGE. *TR

WE BOUGHT OUR 2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER WITH 110,000 MILES I THINK. THE INSPECTION STICKER WAS NEW AND NOW A YEAR LATER OUR ENTIRE ENGINE CRADLE IS COMPLETELY RUSTED THROUGH AND WONT TAKE A STICKER WHATSOEVER. THERE'S NO WAY THIS KIND OF RUST IS NORMAL AND WHEN I WENT ONLINE I SAW THAT THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM ON THESE CARS AND A NEW CRADLE IS 2,500 WITHOUT INSTALLATION THIS IS CHRYSLERS FAULT WE ALWAYS WASHED THE CAR DURING WINTER MONTHS AT THE CARWASH. WE BOUGHT THIS CAR BECAUSE IT HAD THE ROOM GREAT SAFETY FEATURES AND NOW I FIND OUT ITS A ACCIDENT WAITING TO HAPPEN AND WE GOTTA EAT THIS COST. IM GOING TO OUR LOCAL NEWSPAPER BECAUSE THIS ISN'T RIGHT AND CHRYSLER ONLY HELPED WITH COST ON SO MANY CARS AND THE SAME ENGINE CRADLE FITS 04,05 AND 06 PACIFICAS SO ALL THESE CARS SHOULD BE COVERED BECAUSE THERE IS OBVIOUSLY SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE MATERIAL THEY USED. ANY HELP ON HOW OR WHO TO CONTACT I KNOW WERE NOT ALONE I THIS COMPLAINT. *TR

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.

IN A NOVEMBER 8, 2006 LETTER, DAIMLERCHRYSLER CORPORATION (DCC) SUBMITTED A DEFECT INFORMATION REPORT TO NHTSA CONCERNING TWO SEPARATE DEFECT CONDITIONS THAT COULD RESULT IN ENGINE STALL WHILE DRIVING IN MODEL YEAR (MY) 2005-2006 CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES (NHTSA RECALL NO. 06V-432).MY 2005 VEHICLES BUILT IN AUGUST AND SEPTEMBER OF 2004 ARE BEING RECALLED TO CORRECT A DEFECT IN THE SECONDARY FUEL PUMP MODULES, WHICH MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER PRESS FITTING ON THE INLET THAT CAN BECOME DISLODGED AND SHUT-OFF FUEL FLOW.ALL MY 2005-2006 VEHICLES BUILT BETWEEN JULY 8, 2004 AND NOVEMBER 11, 2005 ARE BEING RECALLED TO CORRECT A POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE (PCM) SOFTWARE ISSUE WITH THE EVAPORATIVE EMISSIONS SYSTEM WHICH CAN ALSO CAUSE STALLING.FOR BOTH CONDITIONS, ENGINE STALL INCIDENTS TEND TO OCCUR DURING LEFT TURNS. 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.
