I have a chyrsler 04 Pacifica and it has been trouble for way over a year now. It needs motor mounts and there is none available and has not been in a year. The chyrsler dealer and corporation has no clue to when and if they will ever have these mounts. I still have thousands of dollars to pay for this car and it is about to put me on my two feet. I have had to replace two sets of head lights in which both times they went out at the same time and I have had to replace the alternator and starter within a month of each other and the idle pulley had to be replaced. The only thing that chyrsler recalled that was recently fixed was the erg value. All of this other stuff is out of pocket and the motor mounts are in demand all over the U.S. take a look at topix.com/ Chrysler motor mounts and you will see 41 other people like me with the same problem.

Motor mount failure on Chrysler Pacifica. Noise upon braking.

- Long Beach, CA, USA

The water hose became disconnected from the radiator on my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica, and the repair shop stated my motor mounts should be replace because the engine is not stationary which caused the problem. There is also knocking and popping noises when I break or turn corners. I took my car in to have the repairs done, but we can't find parts because too many other Chrysler owners need to complete the same type repairs. I contacted Chrysler corporation for possible recall, but the items or not listed. I purchase the extended warranty at the time of purchase, but nothing that goes wrong with the car is covered. Help! there are too many problems with the car.

In investigating unusually fast and uneven tire wear, mechanic doing alignment noticed side engine mount partially broken and front engine mount completely broken and detached, so that engine moves while car is in motion. Car cannot be safely driven until repaired, and Chrysler cannot supply front engine mount. Private garage replaced both mounts and new front engine mount failed immediately when car started to move. Part appears defective, or some other design flaw causes failure. Chrysler dealer reports 1300+ front engine mounts on backorder with supplier, indicating widespread problem.

Oil pan plug became stripped very easily resulting in need for oil pan replacement. Mechanics reported oil pan unusually thin where plug screws in resulting in easy strip. To emphasize this must be a frequent occurrence, I was informed that my car is now on a waiting list of at least a month before one would be available. I was further notified that 156 are back ordered and 96 additional are in the pipeline for this particular pan for this engine. If I had the other engine available for this car, there would be immediate replacement. I was further warned that the car is dangerous to drive now because the plug could fall out at any time with a resultant fire and/or seizing up of the engine from rapid drainage of oil. The consumer also heard front end noises. The consumer was informed the right side lever bushing was defective. Updated 05/28/08

After having no problems with the 2004 Chrysler Pacifica for nearly 2 years, all of a sudden over the last 2 weeks it has begun to stall at inappropriate times. The first time I was slowing down for a car in front of me it just died. The next 2 times it happened while I was on the interstate using cruise control at 70 mph. The next time I was on the interstate without cruise control. Today, it happened while I was idling in park, engine fully warmed up. Each time all dashboard lights went out, and the key was in switch but not on. I was able to immediately restart the vehicle by turning ignition to on without having to stop and without having to shift out of drive. At first, I thought maybe I was hitting key with my knee, I was a bit tall, but this last time, my leg was nowhere near the ignition. I have a kill switch alarm system, but no one has been able to determine the source of my problem.

I am only the second owner my 2004 Pacifica for three months and have never owned a vehicle with this many problems. I only drove it two weeks when I started hearing a terrible rattling noise around the front right tire. I had my local Chrysler dealership look at the car. They said I need to replace the rotors and sway links. We replaced those however the problems was not fixed. I took it back at which now it's pouring oil out from under it. They attempted to fix it however they do not. I took it back a third time they finally fixed the oil leak but the rattling and popping in the front suspension is still there. I have since taken it to an independent mechanic who assisted that the top and bottom motor mounts were completely broken. I replaced those and they seem to think the popping is possibly the control arm or bushings. Only two days ago the air pressure sensor in the left front wheel broke and I have an engine light on. The engine light reader stated the car had an emission system leak. I can not believe a car this new could have all these problems. I am very unsatisfied with this automobile. I am in shock. Chrysler should make this right.

I was driving the car on the highway with the cruise control set at 70 mph and the car stalled. I was able to pull off on to the shoulder where the car came to a stop. Warning lights lit up on the dashboard including a message to service tires soon. The car would not re-start at first. After 5 minutes, the car re-started, but then stalled again when I accelerated. The car was then towed to the nearest dealership where they found nothing wrong with the car. The car was returned to me without anything being replaced.

2005 Chrysler Pacifica stalled when I was making a left hand turn. I put it in park and then started it back up. Dealership said that they would look at it on Monday, which is 4 days away. I know that other people have had this same problem. I just hope that it can get fixed before someone gets hurt. I will let you know what the resolution is, although I know they are going to say that they couldn't duplicate the problem, and send me on my way.
