Consumer Description

RUSTING BODY PANELS CAN RESULT IN SEVERE SAFETY ISSUES IN NEAR FUTURE, EVEN WITH GREAT CARE, SOME VEHICLES ARE PRONE TO THE RUSTING BODY PANELS. THE 4TH GENERATION (GRAND) CARAVAN ISN'T THE EXCEPTION WHICH HAD EXCESSIVELY AGGRESSIVE RUST FORMING ON THE BODY PANELS. MY GRAND CARAVAN CURRENTLY HAS JUST OVER 65000 MILES WITH RUST FORMING ON MAJOR PANELS. I PERSONALLY TOOK OVERLY ATTENTION TO THE VEHICLE MAINTAINING AND CARING BY WAXING AND WASHING THE VEHICLE THE PROPER WAY, YET THE VEHICLE IS PILING WITH MORE AND MORE RUST EACH WEEK. ON THE ROAD, I HAVEN'T GOT TO SEE THE DODGE CARAVAN THAT HAS NO RUST WHAT SO EVER. THEREFORE, THE RUSTING HAS TO BE THE MOST CONCERNING ISSUE FOR THE CARAVAN OWNERS.
