Motor mounts on my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica are broken! this is a height risk and parts seem to be on back order costs are high and this must be recalled. This is a ongoing issue on the Pacifica! I found this out after reading several forums which many many people have the same issue and all cant believe that this is not recalled yet. Broken motor mounts can cause the engine to fall down onto the street and could cause deadly incidents!

2004 Chrysler Pacifica. In the past 3 months we have replaced the motor mounts and the antilock braking system module. We now have a thrown rod in the motor or a major cylinder problem. The vehicle only has 80,000 miles on it and we maintain it regularly. Are there any other problems that are common for this vehicle?

- Louisville, KY, USA

1. the issue has existed for a few years, but diagnosis has been conclusive only recently. The issue seems to have arisen from normal wear and tear. The vehicle is driven frequently, but is not abused in any way. 2. the motor mounts have failed, at least one is completely broken. The result is a very loud knocking noise when braking sharply. It is unknown at this time if further damage will be found resulting from this condition pending repair. 3. the vehicle is waiting for parts which have been on backorder. Once the part arrives, repairs will commence.

Chrysler Pacifica engine mounts failure and no replacements available. Engine mounts have failed 3 times in 120,000 miles, but now they can't be replaced. No aftermarkets available and Chrysler is on a "4 month national backorder". my mechanic confirms a design failure, but no alternatives. Every Pacifica he knows has an engine mount failure with no options for repair.

When you stop you hear and fill a large clank and the engine moving forward. We took it to the shop and waited 2 months for the first motor mount to be ordered and received there was a national backorder. While in the shop they discovered the front motor mount was now bad. This time there is 2600 on national back order and this time there is not a time frame to have it fixed. I called Chrysler and they will not talk to me because I bought my car used in 2006. Chrysler does not show me as the original owner. I am driving my family in a car that is un-safe. If Chrysler knows of the issue then why are they not doing anything to help. Any dealer I call or email tells me the same thing. They say they receive many calls a day about the part but they don't know. You can put your name on the list and pay for it but can not give you a time line to get it fixed. Now my warranty is up during this wait. It is going on 5 months now.

My car was recently state inspected and it was discovered that I needed the front and rear motor mounts on my 2004 Chrysler Pacifica. After researching the problem, I read complaints from many owners who had the exact same failures with their Pacifica's despite low mileage (30,000 to 40,000 miles). The problem appears to be a serious defect with this car because the motor mount is on backorder with the majority of Chrysler dealers. A Chrysler parts department employee at reedman's dealership in langhorne, pa. Told me the part is on backorder with no availability date forecasted. The employee told me this is a sure sign of a serious problem when this occurs. I have a problem now because I won't be able to drive my car when the state inspection sticker expires the end of April. I have read the shortage is possibly self inflicted so as to avoid warranty repairs. I don't believe that is true because bad motor mounts could lead to an accident and liability issues. However, I do believe this needs to be investigated and if deemed credible a recall initiated to correct the reason for the early failures I.e. defective part or engineering flaw.
