off topic question
off topic question Hey guys I have a question about a 2005 Chrysler Pacifica. Car has some nasty vibrations while driving/breaking and while idling. Seems to happen at random times and speeds. Also car had some acceleration problems, but seems the shop I take it too has fixed that. The shop also gave me two new front tires, but the vibrations are continuing. Car has 112k on it. Kinda confused on what this could be. Any ideas?
**UPDATE**
Just got the Pacifica back, here is the verdict: Front Tire rods replaced were rusted out pretty good, motor mounts replaced also rusted out, Front brakes had 20% left and rear had 30% so I did all 4 brakes as well. Rims were fine. Apparently all the rusted parts are common for these cars especially in cold weather states because of salt or what not.
This thing is lucky my wife loves it so much, when I heard what all this was going cost I was about to take it to my nearest dodge dealer and trade it for a new Durango.
In any case I hope this helps serve as a point of reference for anyone else who experiences these types of problems with this car.
Thanks everyone for your input!

"No does not seem to be misfiring, Just got home from work am taking it back to the shop I take it to and asking them to check front Brakes, Tire rods, and motor mounts."
From this statement I take it that it is only doing this while the car is moving!
