CarComplaints.com Notes: Engine cradle rot is a serious problem in the 2004-05 Chrysler Pacifica. Chrysler admits they didn't apply enough coating to the vehicle's sub-frame during assembly, but only offered to cover a very small portion of the vehicles they messed up.
So what happens when your engine cradle rots? Well, the engine could fall out for starters. It could also cause problems with the suspension and other components but did I mention THE ENGINE CAN FALL OUT? The worst part is you might not know because there's no way to see the problem without getting under the car.
If you have a 2004-05 Pacifica, make sure to have your mechanic inspect your sub-frame for rust and corrosion.

I just spent $2800 on a new cradle (the old one rusted out). Two weeks later, the timing belt broke, trashing the motor. Valves hit the pistons. This is bad engineering - I've serviced it every 3000 miles, it was bought new as a lease car with 6000 miles. It sure seems like Chrysler doesn't take care of their customers. I've had Chrysler for 30 years, and that is about to change. My best friend works there, no hard feelings, but Chrysler is at fault.
