P0305 on CHRYSLER PACIFICA

"I just want to voice my feelings on this company (chrysler) concerning the chrysler pacifica 2005 awd why wasn't this car recalled as a whole. it is a piece of crap i bought this car as a reliable family car being that i am a single mother of 5."

"2017 Chrysler Pacifica Touring L with 3.6L engine. Odometer 78623 miles. Noted rough idling of engine for a few seconds when started. Later in day, at low speeds, check engine light came on solidly (no flashing) for a few seconds and then turned off."

"The component that failed was the engine. Blown Head Gasket. Had engine light turn on, too to dealership They found error code P0305, cylinder 5 misfire. upon more investigation, spark plug clean, found coolant on cylinder 5."

"Unbeknownst to me, there was water pump leak which led to overheating, and eventually coolant being dumped into the engine. Originally diagnosed as a P0305 cylinder 5 misfire. Teardown revealed that the water pump had been leaking for quite some time, causing subsequent follow on damage."

"The engine shuttered/shook upon startup and did so continuously. When shifted into gear, the engine ran rough and never normalized. I am afraid to drive it in case something more serious happens to the engine or causes other damage."
