Purchased 2005 chrysler pacifica 2.5 years ago. Hard shifting started last sep 2009 56k miles and lunges forward. We will be driving slower speeds, hard shift and sometimes the whole car moves, this would happen daily but, not each time the car was driven. Was told by the dealership this is common. This is not common. Took car back jan 2010 explaining same issue, they test drove car and said nothing happened. Had to go to dealership test drove with transmission tech who drove the car and finally felt what I was talking about. Found out front motor mount torn, they replaced the motor mount 60k miles. Again, the hard shifting started happening after a couple of months. Took vehicle back to dealership. Each time I have to explain to them this same issue. Each time they tell me that the techtest drives the car and doesn't feel it. June 2010 my husband test drove with the tech and it happened 7 times and the tech states that "no that shouldn't be happening". The tech did a some type of software update. Within the week of this it started again, again took it back and again test driving it doesn't find anything wrong. All they do is perform system tests. They hand wrote on receipt "have customer drive and report if problem persists"...well I am reporting again and again they have my car and a tech test drove and states nothing wrong.

I have 2005 chrysler pacifica. On a routine oil change, the midas service clerk calls me to tell me that all 3 of my motor mounts are broken. The problem is, that I had them all replaced about 1.5 years ago. I come to find out that this is a common problem for these vehicles when I checked online. Please press chrysler into fixing this issue. A simple google search for "chrysler pacifica motor mounts" brings up hundreds of individuals complaining of this same issue.
I purchased my car in 2008 and the dealer (sheehy ford) won't even take it back. The engine light stays on and it won't pass inspection. I had to replace the obd connector and it still wouldn't pass inspection. Took it back to the inspection station and it failed because of the oxygen sensor, replaced that and took it back for the 3rd time and it failed again because the machine read: monitors not ready. I'm starting to think that the power train and the engine are faulty on my vehicle. Sheehy knew they sold me a lemon, I've tried to have them resolve this issue numerous times and nothing. I want them to either fix the problem or give me another car. I reported them to the bbb as well and they never responded to bbb on my complaint. That looks so suspect in my eyes.
I went to a local service/repair facility and was told that the front motor mount on my 2005 chrysler pacifica needs to be replaced. Upon some research on-line, I noticed that this is a common problem with this vehicle.

I have a 2005 chrysler pacifica that has stalled several times while I was driving. Most recently it has happened twice in the past two days. One of the occasions was while I was merging onto the interstate. The first couple times this occurred over the past year I just dismissed the problem. Now that it seems to become more frequent, I am fearful that it could happen and someone will be hurt.
I own a 2005 chrysler pacifica that was bought brand new in october 2004. In october 2009, I was driving home during afternoon rush hour. I noticed my car smoking and attempted just to make it home. About 20 minutes later, my car began to hesitate and turned off once or twice when I stopped at stop lights. Eventually, the car shut down completely on a major thoroughfare and would not restart. After being towed to the nearest dealership, I discovered that the radiator hose had been blown off and a hole basically ripped in the coolant jug as a result. Repair cost: $564.00. Prior to releasing the vehicle, the service technicians noticed how loudly and roughly the car was running and did further tests, to discover that the motor mounts are broken and in need of repair, which caused the problem that I paid nearly $600 to fix. Projected cost: an additional $900. That's a total of $1500 for a four-year-old car!!! I've searched and have seen numerous reports of repeated motor mount breaks and problems. Called chrysler who basically is turning a blind eye to the numerous complaints.
2005 chrysler pacifica engine will randomly stall while turning. *nj the dealership had no idea what the problem was and they were unable to duplicate it.
I was making a left hand turn in a parking garage, while braking and having the AC on, and my 2005 chrysler pacifica stalled. I was able to put it in neutral and restart it, but not sure what happened.

Own a 2005 pacifica..it has 75000 miles on it. It has 4 bad engine mounts. Dealer states "they see alot for this particular model and it is normal." I do not think it is normal that mounts that hold up the engine could fail.

Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chrysler pacifica. While driving at an unknown speed, the check engine light illuminated on the instrument panel. She could not turn off the light because she lost control of the instrument panel functions. While accelerating, the vehicle began to jump. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and they stated that the motor mounts were failing. The dealer ordered the parts for the repair, but they are on backorder.

High level of failure of motor mounts in chrysler pacifica. Unable to get replacement parts due to 1000's being on back order. Started trying to locate and purchase motor mounts in 11/08. Paid for the replacement motor mounts at a chrysler dealership in 1/09 and as of 6/09/09 motor mounts are still unavailable. I don't know what the safety ramifications are, other than if the mounts were to fail completely while driving down the highway 65 miles per hours in traffic... While I first became aware of the motor mount issue around 11/08, the motor mounts apparently were damaged before then.
Tl*the contact owns a 2005 chrysler pacifica. The contact took the vehicle to the dealer for service and was informed that the front motor mount needed to be replaced. The dealer stated that the part was on back order. The manufacturer confirmed and stated that they could call her when it becomes available.

Broken motor mounts on my 05 chrysler pacifica,in reading the chrysler forum, this is a major common problem and a dangerous condition and the replacement parts have been on back order for "months" this has been recurring on all pacifica's since 04.and the cost for parts and labor is over $500.00. This problem should be a major recall. My understanding that the mounts only last about 15000 miles.
Rear motor mounts seem to be a big issue for chrysler pacificas. I have a 2005 touring and was told 6 months ago that I would need to replace mine. At that time, they were on national back order of over 1,900!! I'm sure that number has risen greatly since january '09. If that many rear motor mounts are on back order, it would stand to reason that this is a real problem with this part. Why would chrysler not cover replacing this part under warranty?! It's bad enough that we have to wait an indefinite amount of time to receive the replacement part. How safe is this car to drive with the engine moving around so much?! I've heard and read differing opinions on the safety issue. If it is indeed a danger to drive a car in this condition, what are we supposed to do for transportation?! Chrysler needs to take an extensive look into this and many other issues that pacifica owners have had to deal with. I, myself, have spent a lot of time at the local dealership getting defective parts replaced. Unfortunately, there have been parts that weren't covered under warranty which I read about as being a common problem. I've even read that the pacifica may qualify for the lemon law with so many common problems.
My 2005 chrysler pacifica doesn't go when I release the brake to drive it. It hesitates and then moves. I took it to the dealership and they notified me that 2 of my motor mounts were cracked and that's what was causing it. I tried to get the parts and apparently 250 of them are on backorder. We have called every dealership in san antonio and surrounding cities and no dealer has them, many have told us that they are on back order and they don't have a date of when they are to be shipped, (could be months), none of this of course was covered under the extended warranty that we have. My problem is that this vehicle isn't that old and has 68000 miles on it, I am shocked that the motor mounts are already cracked and need to be replaced. If 250 of them are on back order, doesn't that say something about this vehicle and the mounts. It is expensive to replace, labor costing $500, and we can't even get the parts because no one has them. I feel this is a safety issue because the car at times hesitates to go once I release the brake and apply the gas. I am concerned that other owners are feeling the same way I do, cheated. Please respond.
I have a 2005 chrysler pacifica, was having problems with my car the dealer told me it was the motor mounts and had it repair that cost me $500. Then after less than a year I had the same problems again, then to only find out that the motor mount that was place on my car was faulty from the factory and that the product is on back order. I am sitting here now with a car with bad motor mount and waiting for the product that I might never get. Was told it was on a nationwide back order of 2500 plus vehicles. This many people are having the same problem I am having and no recall. I find that careless. Just because the chrysler dealership is having financial problems doesn't make it right to put the customer safety at risk. I cant take my car on long trips due to being scared it will break down on me while my baby is in the car.
The rear motor on my 2005 chrysler pacifica has failed by busting under torque load. This is a defective condition for this part as it is fluid filled and continually allows damaging conditions to develop to the engine if not repaired. Chrysler is aware of the problem as many owner have this problem and have contacted chrysler about it. They continued to do nothing. The part is on national backorder as of now with 1900+ outstanding. I cannot correct the problem obviously until the dealers take shipment of the part. Google this problem and you will see it is a real problem for chrysler owners. Owners are even considering a class action lawsuit. Chrysler should issue a recall for this part at a minimum.
Massive vapors started to emit from my 2005 chrysler pacifica engine. Had to get the car towed to dealership in forest park, il. Was advised that engine mounts broke and needs to be replaced. Because of engine mount breakage, the engine can fall down. In my case, it cause various connections and fluid pipes to break and/or be disconnected. I now have waited for three months for replacement parts, but chrysler has none "due to backorder". I have browsed many blogs and there are hundreds of people in different blogs complaining about same issue. Chrysler should have recalled the part, but has not done so. Please help with causing chrysler to recall this faulty part and with getting chrysler to provide replacement parts!
2005 chrysler pacifica with 82,144 miles; broken motor mounts with failure of both front axles and tie rod ends.
I have a 2005 chrysler pacifica with 38,000 miles on it. I have been hearing a noise as I accelerate the vehicle. Also the ABS light has been coming on. I hear a loud grinding noise. I took it to the dealership. And they are telling me the motor mounts are bad. The mileage on this car is too low to be having motor mount issues. This is predetemination of the motor mounts. They tell me my warranty does not cover this. They said it is a wear and tear item. This is not right chrysler needs to recall this item. The dealer says the part is not available. It has been on back order since december 08. This is a big problem. I am having to drive this car with bad motor mounts. Chrysler needs to take care of this issue.
Clicking noise coming from the engine on deceleration and acceleration. And the throttle sticks occasionally. We had it looked at by mechanic, and the motor mount is cracked and rotting, we attempted to order a motor mount, the chrysler dealer said they have 173 requests for motor mount in lake havasu city, az and none are available anywhere. There is a 6 month wait before they can get any.
On my 2005 chrysler pacifica, the motor mounts seem to be substandard and require replacement at a higher interval than normal. While this may not seem like a huge issue initially, a failed motor mount is a reason to reject a vehicle inspection in the state of va. Shortly after purchasing the car used 2 years ago, I needed to replace a failed motor mount, now, 2 years later and with the car having less than 65,000 miles I am having to replace a motor mount again. The real issue now seems to be that chrysler as a whole is out of stock as there is a national backorder in effect at the moment. The fact that this part is on a national backorder makes me feel as if they are being replaced by many other pacifica owners. Research online has shown that the motor mounts fail on the pacifica approximately every 30,000 miles.
My 2005 pacifica stalls when making left turns. It has stalled on two other occasions while simply sitting at a stop light. Bit it has stalled repeatedly when I turn left into my company parking garage. I have nearly been hit by the unexpected stop in the driveway area.
