Consumer Description

1999 DODGE CARAVAN, SHOCK TOWER RUST, THIS IS NOT JUST COSMETIC RUST, THIS IS SERIOUS STRUCTURAL PROBLEM WHERE THE SUSPENSION CAN FAIL BY BREAKING UP THROUGH THE SHOCK TOWER AND COLLAPSE THE FROM END OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A DEFECT BY CHRYSLER AND THEY SHOULD PAY FOR THE REPAIR. I HAVE TWO DODGE CARAVANS AND BOTH HAVE THE SAME SHOCK TOWER RUST PROBLEMS. EVEN THE DODGE DEALERS KEEP MANY REPAIR KITS IN STOCK BECAUSE OF THE LARGE DEMAND. AS THE DODGE CARVANS GET OLDER, THERE WILL BE AN INCREASED NUMBER OF FAILURES AND POSSIBLE SAFETY ISSUES. THE VEHICLES ARE ONLY 10 YEARS OLD, AND HAVE THIS TYPE OF PROBLEM IS JUST WRONG. *TR
