THE SUBFRAME OF THE CAR IS RUSTING TERRIBLY. I HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT IT WILL BECOME A HAZARD TO DRIVE THE CAR IN THE FUTURE. WE WERE ADVISED TO REPLACE THE SUBFRAME FOR SAFETY PURPOSE. I RESEARCHED THIS ONLINE AND FOUND THAT THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH THIS YEAR, MAKE AND MODEL. I HAVE NEVER ENCOUNTERED THIS PROBLEM BEFORE WITH ANY OTHER VEHICLE I HAVE OWNED. I HAVE ALWAYS MAINTAINED OUR VEHICLES AND HAVE OWNED VEHICLES LONGER THAN THIS. THIS VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN SUBJECTED TO HARSH CONDITIONS AND SHOULD NOT BE SHOWING THIS LEVEL OF DESTRUCTIVE RUST. WE ASK THE NHTSA TO LOOK INTO THIS MATTER AND TO ISSUE A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE TO HAVE THESE PARTS REPLACED FOR SAFETY PURPOSES. I BELIEVE THAT CHRYSLER IS NOT ALTERING THE PUBLIC TO THIS VERY STRONG POTENTIAL SAFETY ISSUE WHICH I AM AFRAID WILL CAUSE HARM OR POTENTIAL DEATH IF THE FRAME ON THESE VEHICLES GIVES OUT. A QUICK GLANCE ON GOOGLE AND ONE CAN READILY FIND THAT THIS ISSUE IS A VERY LARGE ONE INDEED. WE ASK FOR YOUR HELP IN PROTECTING US.

THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS ON ALL CHRYSLER PACIFICA MODELS ARE PUTTING THE PUBLIC AT RISK...THE FAILURE RATE FOR THESE VEHICLE COMPONENTS IS ASTRONOMICAL AND REPETITIVE AFTER REPAIRS. THE FAILURE OF THE ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION MOUNTS CAN CAUSE ADDITIONAL FAILURES THAT ALSO PUT THE PUBLIC AT RISK...THIS INCLUDES: --GROUND WIRE FATIGUE AND FAILURE CAUSING A MULTITUDE OF UNEXPECTED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN --DAMAGE TO VEHICLE WIRING HARNESS TO THE POWERTRAIN CONTROL MODULE, AGAIN CAUSING A MYRIAD OF UNEXPECTED ELECTRICAL PROBLEMS AND VEHICLE SHUT DOWN --COOLING SYSTEM FAILURE...ENGINE MOVEMENT CAUSES UPPER RADIATOR HOSE TO DISCONNECT COMPROMISING THE COOLING SYSTEM AND CONTRIBUTING TO ENVIRONMENTAL CONTAMINATION WHEN THE ENGINE COOLANT IS RELEASED. I KNOW THAT THIS HAS BEEN REPORTED PREVIOUSLY AND IT IS APPALLING TO REALIZE THAT NO ACTION HAS BEEN EFFECTED BY THIS OVERSIGHT ARM. CHRYSLER NEEDS TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR THEIR POOR DESIGN AND QUALITY STANDARDS AND FIND AN EFFECTIVE SOLUTION TO THIS ISSUE THAT HAS AFFECTED EVERY PACIFICA MANUFACTURED.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA. THE CONTACT STATED SHE WAS IN THE VEHICLE FOR TEN MINUTES WHEN SHE BEGAN TO SMELL AN OVERPOWERING GASOLINE ODOR. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO AN INDEPENDENT MECHANIC WHERE A DIAGNOSTIC WAS PERFORMED AND THE CONTACT WAS ADVISED THAT THE ONE OF THE FUEL HOSES HAD BECOME DETACHED, CAUSING THE FUEL PUMP TO FAIL. THE MECHANIC ADVISED THAT THE FUEL PUMP BE REPLACED. THE VEHICLE WAS REPAIRED FOR THE MISSING FUEL HOSE AND THE FUEL PUMP.

ON FEBRUARY 22, 2006, ODI OPENED PE06-009 TO INVESTIGATE REPORTS THAT THE FUEL TANKS ON MODEL YEAR (MY) 2004 TO 2005 CHRYSLER PACIFICA VEHICLES MAY BE PUNCTURED BY CONTACT WITH ROAD DEBRIS.THE NUMBER OF REPORTS SUBMITTED BY CHRYSLER WAS SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER THAN THOSE SUBMITTED BY OTHER MANUFACTURERS WHO WERE REQUESTED TO SUBMIT DATA AS PART OF INVESTIGATION PE05-050 INTO MY 2003 TO 2006 NISSAN MURANO VEHICLES THAT MAY HAVE HAD INSUFFICIENT SHIELDING OF THE FUEL TANK TO PREVENT PUNCTURES AFTER CONTACT WITH ROAD DEBRIS.NISSAN ISSUED RECALL 06V-003 INVOLVING INCREASING THE SHIELDING OF THE FUEL TANKS TO REDUCE THE LIKELIHOOD OF TANK PUNCTURES. CHRYSLER HAS NOTED THAT THEY HAD IN PLACE FROM JANUARY 2003 TO JUNE 2005 A PARTS RESTRICTION PROGRAM ON PACIFICA FUEL TANK REPLACEMENTS WHICH MAY HAVE MADE THE NUMBER OF REPORTS ARTIFICIALLY HIGH IN COMPARISON TO MANUFACTURERS WHICH DID NOT HAVE A SIMILAR PROGRAM IN EFFECT.CHRYSLER ALSO QUESTIONED WHETHER MANY OF THE FIELD REPORTS OF FUEL TANKS REPLACED DUE TO DAMAGE FROM UNKNOWN CAUSE WERE ACTUALLY PUNCTURED. THIS INVESTIGATION HAS BEEN UPGRADED TO AN ENGINEERING ANALYSIS (EA06-010) TO GATHER ADDITIONAL INFORMATION CONCERNING THE ALLEGED DEFECT IN THE SUBJECT VEHICLES.
