I have a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica touring that I have had to repair motor mounts several times. When the car is stationary and then in motion the problem occurs. When I accelerate the car does not have it's full power potential because acceleration causes the engine to immediately raise up and then quickly drop down. I hear the engine hit the frame with a loud bang when it drops. This happens in motion, on city streets, and the highway. I believe this has caused other engine problems that I have repaired over the years.my motor mount replacement years are 2010,2012,2013, and 2016. I have receipts and the last set of mounts. I don't like to drive my grandson around in this car because I feel it is not safe for him. I always try to use my other vehicle to transport children. …
I purchased my 2007 Chrysler Pacifica at a dealer ship in February 2017. I have just had the vehicle for 5 months. The car had everything running and when I say everything running; I mean A/C was working just fine as well as the heater and all windows rolled up and down. I had everything updated on this vehicle. Now 5 months later, I have neighbors on 7/25/2017 at around 2 pm that witnessed my car catching on fire. How? I don't know and I am confused and worried because I had just pulled up to my home with my fiance. Our car caught on fire on 7/25/17 I had to call the fire fighters to come out and put the fire out. This was the most scariest thing I have ever experienced. I am overwhelmed. The fire fighters put the fire out and now I am with no vehicle. I am a single mother of 3 that works a double shift just to make a way in life. …

2 issues with my 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. 1: the frame is mostly rust. The main problem with my 2007 Chrysler Pacifica is the electrical system. The I have had the battery tested and it is good. The starter was replaced and the car continued to start for two more weeks before it hasn't started since.
The engine cradle as well as the engine mounts along with the subframe have deteriorated uncommonly fast resulting in the vehicle involuntarily swerving into other lanes of traffic
Upon fast acceleration or braking there was a noticeable mechanical "clunk" and a shift forward or back in weight/momentum. This was due to two broken/defective motor mounts discovered during the course of a 64,000 mile service maintenance check. Shortly after dropping the car off for service on 2/17/11 I received a call form the dealer alerting me to the fact that when the accelerator is pressed the engine would rise to within two inches of the interior of the hood. The dealer replaced the mounts and showed me the bad parts and explained why they fail and drain their liquid filler. Although my car is well out of warranty I contacted Chrysler to ask them to cover the cost of the repair and they told me that this was typical mechanical wear and tear on the vehicle and is not covered in or out of warranty. I personally view this as defective parts and engineering. …
I purchased my 2007 Pacifica in 2009 with about 30,000 miles from Chrysler, elk grove, california. Upon reaching about 57,000 miles, when accelerating, I would hear loud metal banging from the engine area. I would also feel a hard jolt when accelerating. After visiting Chrysler, elk grove service center, I was told that 3 of my Pacifica engine motor mounts failed and needed immediate replacement at about $1000.00 dollars. I asked if this problem would occur again and was told I should have no further problems with the engine mounts by Chrysler, elk grove. I paid for replacement. At approximately 105,000 miles, I began to here loud metal pounding after accelerating from the engine area. I could hear metal knocking when I slowly drove over bumps in the street. I could also feel my car give a hard jolt when accelerating. …
