| 2004 | SUSPENSION | I WAS HAVING PACIFICA SERVICED AT GOODYEAR STORE IN NEWPORT, KY PRIOR TO DRIVING TO FLORIDA. MECHANIC CALLED ME TO SERVICE AREA TO SEE SERIOUS RUST THROUGH ON FRONT FRAME RAILS AND ENGINE CRADLE. HE SAID "DO NOT DRIVE THE CAR TO FLORIDA. THE ENGINE COULD DROP IF FRAME BREAKS". I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO WYLER CHRYSLER AND HAD THE RUSTED FRAME REPLACED. I LATER FOUND THAT CHRYSLER HAD EXTENDED THEIR WARRANTY TO SPECIFICALLY COVER THIS PROBLEM. I DID FILE A CLAIM WITH CHRYSLER AND THEY DID REIMBURSE ME 80% OF THE REPAIR COST. I AM NOW SEEING, ON EDMUNDS.COM CHAT SITE THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE OWNERS HAVING THIS SAME RUST OUT PROBLEMS WITH THEIR PACIFICAS. A RUSTED FRAME BREAKING AT HIGHWAY SPEEDS COULD BE DISASTROUS. *TR |
| 2008 | ELECTRICAL SYSTEM | VEHICLE SHUTS COMPLETELY OFF DURING DRIVE AT LEAST TWICE PER DAY. MECHANIC WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE PROBLEM. THIS HAPPENS AT BOTH HIGH AND LOW SPEEDS AROUND TOWN AND ON THE HIGHWAY. OIL LIGHT TURNS ON AND ALL POWER IS LOST. STRUGGLE TO STEER OR APPLY BRAKES ONCE IT SHUTS DOWN. THIS BEGAN OVER A YEAR AGO AND HAS GOTTEN WORSE AS THE TIME HAS GONE BY. *TR |
