Consumer Description

STRUT TOWERS RUSTING ON 2000 DODGE CARAVAN. VEHICLE BEGAN WOBBLING SEVERELY WHILE DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY. TOOK IT TO A REPAIR SHOP TO FIND OUT THAT BOTH STRUT TOWERS ARE SEVERELY RUSTED. AFTER RESEARCHING THE INTERNET I FOUND THE TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN, WHICH STATES THIS IS A COSMETIC REPAIR! THIS IS UNBELIEVABLE! THE STRUT TOWER IS COMPLETELY RUSTED AND HARDLY ANYTHING IS HOLDING IT IN PLACE. THOUSANDS OF VEHICLES HAVE BEEN AFFECTED, BUT THERE HAS BEEN NO RECALL? DODGE SHOULD BE REPAIRING THIS FOR FREE. *TR
