WHILE CHANGING THE OIL AND FILTER ON OUR 2006 PACIFICA (PURCHASED NEW), I NOTICED THE START OF RUST-THROUGH ON THE ENGINE CRADLE/SUBFRAME. THIS IS A DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE THE SUBFRAME RUSTED PRIMARILY FROM THE INSIDE. DUE TO VISIBLE RUST, EVERY TWO YEARS I HAVE WIRE BRUSHED THE ACCESSIBLE PARTS OF THE SUBFRAME AND APPLIED AN AUTOMOTIVE UNDERCOATER.

DURING A ROUTINE OIL CHANGE, A MECHANIC INFORMED ME THAT THERE WAS SEVERE RUST (50%) TO THE SUPPORT SYSTEM HOLDING UP THE ENGINE ON THE PASSENGERS SIDE. THE CAR ONLY HAS 84,000 MILES. HE SAID THAT IT IS A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION, THAT, IF NOT REPAIRED, WOULD EVENTUALLY BREAK WAY AND THE ENGINE WOULD DROP OUT OF THE SUPPORT SYSTEM. WHEN I CONTACTED CHRYSLER CARE, THE INTAKE OPERATOR BASICALLY READ FROM A SCRIPT AND STATED THAT MY VEHICLE WASN'T COVERED IN THE RECALL, EVEN THOUGH THE SAME PART WAS AFFECTED, AND THAT THERE WAS NOTHING THAT THEY COULD DO TO ASSIST ME. AFTER DOING SOME RESEARCH ONLINE, I FOUND OVER 700 OTHER COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME ISSUE. THIS IS THE THIRD CHRYSLER THAT I HAVE OWNED (AND MY SECOND PACIFICA) WITH 100% SATISFACTION UNTIL THIS POINT. UNLESS CHRYSLER DEALS WITH THIS ISSUE TO MY SATISFACTION AND MY SAFETY IS THEY FIRST CONCERN, I WILL NEVER OWN ANOTHER CHRYSLER PRODUCT AGAIN. I HAVE TAKEN PICTURES OF THE PART IN QUESTION AND INTEND TO PURSUE THIS ISSUE UNTIL IT IS FIXED! *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.
