COMPLAINT RECEIVED VIA E-MAIL. I DISCOVERED THAT MY DODGE CARAVAN, 1999 DRIVER'S SIDE STRUT TOWER RUSTED SIGNIFICANTLY ,AND MAY POSSIBLY BREAK. THIS COULD LEAD TO A POTENTIALLY SERIOUS PROBLEM LATER. I THINK THAT THIS PROBABLY WAS DUE TO DEFECTIVE MATERIAL USED BY A CHRYSLER SUPPLIER. CHRYSLER SHOULD CONSIDER THIS A SERIOUS ISSUE, AND AT LEAST WARN PEOPLE WHO HAVE THEIR CARS, OR PAY FOR THE REPAIRS/REPLACEMENT OF THE STRUT TOWERS. THE TOWER WAS NOT REPLACED. TWO ESTIMATES WERE QUOTED AT OVER $1000. *AK
