Selected complaints filed with NHTSA by 2007 Chrysler Pacifica owners, lightly cleaned up (personal details are redacted by NHTSA).
I am requesting that NHTSA issue a recall for the known defect and serious safety hazard for the 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. These vehicles need to be recalled effective immediately and removed from our highways. The engine cradle rot poses a a risk for accidents and the manufacturer is privy to these problems and had legal action taken against them for a similar notification of different years. The 2007 models should be recalled as well. Please issue the recall and do the right thing. Who knows, you may save someone's life who is unaware of the dangerous equipment they are driving. …
Engine Sub Frame-AKA Engine Cradle is rotting out. Vehicle was inspected on July 6, 2023 at Jim Rielh's Chrysler -Jeep Dealership located at 32899 Van Dyke, Warren Michigan 48093. The report came back as " FOUND FRONT ENGINE CRADLE / FRAME ROTTED / RUSTED OUT." This vehicle has been well maintained and has been Safety Inspected by the same dealership in 2021 & 2022 and never advised there was a problem with the Engine Cradle. Now in 2021, three engine mounts were replaced to correct clunking noises when accelerating, but again there was never an advisement of a potential Engine Cradle Rot. The vehicle had 127, 640 miles on it when it was inspected by the dealer. The results were reported to Chrysler Customer Care via email and by phone but no response as of today.
Front subframe is completely corroded and rusted out. Engine is no longer safely supported. Problem has been confirmed by dealer. Manufacturer has been aware of this issue caused by substandard uncoated and unprotected steel used in the front subfram01e
This letter is to file a complaint regarding Chrysler group llc for repairs made to a 2007 Chrysler pacificas front engine cradle within a 10-year or 150,000 period similar to the extended warranty coverage of a previous recall to Chrysler Pacifica model years 2004-2005. I experienced an engine cradle safety concern and this matter was similar to that included in the Chrysler Pacifica model years 2004-2005 recall. The perforation of corrosion on the engine cradle was a safety hazard and as a result would not pass the virginia safety inspection requirements, thus requiring repair. Three attempts were made to find a used part, but all parts received had corrosion in the same place. The repair was made with Chrysler OEM parts. Since this safety issue was a similar the previous Chrysler recall, and to correct a safety hazard, I request reimbursement for the repair.
Random stalling w/ all functions stopping. Brakes, steering..ect. Took it to several licensed/certified mechanics and not 1 of them can tell me what is wrong. This has nearly caused 2 serious crashes so I no longer allow anyone to ride in the car with me. The stalling has happened on the highway going nearly 70mph, on a 2 lane highway through town with heavy traffic going approx. 35 MPH, its happened in my neighborhood street, on the way home from work on a country road (several times). The vehicle hasn't ever stalled while running and stationary. For me this has only happened while in motion
ESP bas light came on and the steering wheel started to move left to keep the car going straight. Suddenly the right front tire hit the wheel housing and stopped. Upon inspection it was revealed the the cradle holding the front suspension had rusted and broke off. I was driving on a two lane state road and was able to pull to the shoulder.

Tl contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. In July of 2007, while driving 35 MPH, the vehicle would not accelerate. The dealer performed a diagnostic and found no failures with the vehicle. The contact continued to drive the vehicle; however, the failure persisted. After taking the vehicle to the dealer on several occasions, the contact was informed at her last visit that the torque converter was defective. In October of 2007, the torque converter was replaced and later replaced again in July of 2008. Immediately following both repairs, the vehicle continued to experience the same failure. In addition, the vehicle made a clicking noise. She took the vehicle to another dealer and was informed that the upper strut mount and bearings were defective. The vehicle was repaired, but the failure still persists. The current mileage was 22,750 and failure mileage was 900. …
I am sure that you are swamped with Toyota issues, but we Chrysler owners are getting upset at the performance also. Broken motor mounts, torque converters, rough idles, stalling, bumping gears, etc. My 2007 Chrysler Pacifica is the roughest transmission I have ever driven in my 38 plus years of driving, stalling on morning start-ups, banging noises in the front around turns, and the list goes on. Chrysler must do something on this discontinued Pacifica model, the 4.0 litre touring. Like most owners of the Chrysler piece, this is the last Chrysler I will ever own, or perhaps maybe they, or no-one even cares. These numerous repeating complaints should be taken care of, or does it take deaths to get attention, and how many does it take? Is 54 enough, as I read in the USA today about how many gas and brake related deaths are being investigated because of Toyota greed?
Tl contact owns a 2007 Chrysler Pacifica. When the vehicle reaches 2,000 rpms while on a slight incline, the transmission begins to shutter and skip. This leads to failure between the transmission and the torque converter. The contact recently took the vehicle to the repair shop and they stated that it could not be repaired until September of 2007. The transmission also makes a harsh clunking sound when shifting. The contact believes that the suspension May be failing because the vehicle rides roughly at any speed. The current mileage was 800 and failure mileage was 350. The consumer stated Chrysler stated this was a software problem and will not be able to fix the vehicle until sometime in September. Updated 09/11/07
