| 2004 | POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION | 2004 CHRYSLER PACIFICA WITH 72,000 MILES. ABOUT THREE MONTHS AGO STARTED HEARING A CLUNKING NOISE WHILE CAR WAS CHANGING GEARS. I STARTED DOING SOME RESEARCH ON WHAT THE PROBLEM MIGHT BE.I FOUND THAT A LOT OF OTHER OWNERS WERE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THEIR MOTOR MOUNTS. I PUT MY CAR ON A LIFT TO INSPECT IT AND THERE WAS FLUID LEAKING FROM AROUND THE MOTOR MOUNTS. THE BUSHINGS WERE COMPLETELY BUSTED AND BROKEN. WHEN I TRIED TO GET NEW PARTS, THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY WERE NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY AND WERE ON BACKORDER INDEFINITELY. THEY SAY THAT I SHOULD JUST DRIVE IT UNTIL THEY GET PARTS. I HAVE FOUND OUT FROM JUST ABOUT EVERY OWNER OF A PACIFICA THAT THEY TOO HAVE HAD TO REPLACE THEIR MOTOR MOUNTS AS WELL, AT THEIR OWN EXPENSE.(AROUND $500) SOMETIMES TWICE. WHY HASN'T CHRYSLER ADDRESSED THIS AS A DEFECT? THIS IS A VERY COSTLY AND DANGEROUS DEFECT THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED. *TR |

THE INTERIOR LIGHTS WERE FLASHING ALONG WITH DASHBOARD LIGHTS AND HEATING SYSTEM WAS INOPERABLE. SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE SAFELY ONTO THE EMERGENCY LANE; HOWEVER, THE NOISE CONTINUED EVEN AFTER SHE TURNED THE IGNITION OFF AND RESTARTED THE VEHICLE. SHE WAS ABLE TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO HER RESIDENCE. SHE HAS NOT TAKEN THE VEHICLE TO THE DEALER OR SPOKEN WITH THE MANUFACTURER TO-DATE. THE VEHICLE HAS NOT BEEN REPAIRED.
