What owners wrote

I purchased a 2005 pacifica touring with AWD in the summer of 2006. Three times my car has had difficulties when there was a dusting of snow blowing over the road. The 1st incident was on jan. 24 2007, the front end of my vehicle started to lose control and finally I went into a spin. I was in the left lane of a 2 lane road heading south. My car spun in front of the vehicle in the right lane, through the ditch, and finally ended up in the trees on the other side of the ditch.

January 2007 CrashInjury

Went in for annual inspection on 2005 pacifica. Mechanic reported rusted sub frame; everything else is fine; mileage is about 130000. Service center informed me this is a known issue by chrysler. Excellent article on it too: [link removed] I called chrysler and they said my vehicle falls outside the narrow window they recalled so I am not eligible for any warranty. They could not give me any reason why the recall window was limited to a 6 week period.
