THE STRUT TOWER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE OF MY 1999 DODGE CARAVAN HAS COMPLETELY RUSTED OUT, CAUSING THE STRUT TO BURST THROUGH INTO THE ENGINE COMPARTMENT BELOW THE WINDSHIELD. A AUTO BODY REPAIR MAN SAID THIS IS A VERY SERIOUS STRUCTURAL AND SAFETY ISSUE. IN RESEARCHING A FIX FOR THIS PROBLEM, I DISCOVERED THAT HUNDREDS OF DODGE CARAVAN, TOWN AND COUNTRY, AND PLYMOUTH VOYAGER MODELS WERE SUSCEPTIBLE TO THIS DANGEROUS ENGINEERING FAILURE. *TR

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 1999 DODGE CARAVAN. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 20 MPH, THE CONTACT NOTICED THAT THE VEHICLE HAS NO SHOCK RESISTANCE WHEN DRIVING OVER BUMPS.

IT SEEMS THAT THE UPPER STRUT MOUNTING HOUSE UNDER THE HOOD ON THE LEFT SIDE OF OUR VEHICLE IS SEVERELY CORRODED AND READY TO CRACK, THE SAME HOLDS TRUE ABOUT THE RIGHT SIDE BUT AT THIS TIME NOT AS SEVERE. WHEN ASKED HOW THIS COULD HAVE HAPPENED WE WERE TOLD IT WAS A MANUFACTURING DEFECT WHICH THEY HAVE WITNESSED BEFORE IN CHRYSLER VEHICLES. HOW HORRIBLE TO KNOW I HAVE DRIVEN THIS VEHICLE WITH NOT ONLY MY CHILDREN BUT OTHERS IN IT. I WAS PUTTING ALL OUR LIVES AT RISK AND DID NOT EVEN KNOW IT. I CAN NOT BEGIN TO TELL YOU OF THE GREAT ANXIETY I HAVE SUFFERED OVER THIS SITUATION. WE WERE TOLD FOR OUR OWN SAFETY TO GET RID OF THE...
