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.
Everything works great when the car is running. But when you turn the ignition off the dash lights stay on. The only way to shut the dash lights off is to press the hazard button twice. Used a code reader and the only thing that came up is a faulty 02 sensor. PO137-bank 1 sensor 2. Don't think an emission control fault would cause the dash lights to stay on.
