“1999 Chrysler Town And Country rusting strut tower has progressively worsened since by dealer, in 2005, told me that it is only a cosmetic defect and is a potential danger of rusting through. This is a critical safety issue and has been misclassified by Chrysler. I now read on the web site that more owners are similarly affected.”
NHTSA complaint #10245350, filed 2008-10, 90,000 miles“It had been raining but had stopped. I was making a right hand turn when my right tire went through approximately 2-4 of water in the gutter. I immediately lost control of the steering and veered into the opposite lane. Fortunately there were no cars in that lane. I had difficulty steering and the engine began to overheat. I was fortunate the garage was around the corner. The belt had slipped off the pulleys. The belt had not broken, only slipped off. …”

NHTSA complaint #10218438, filed 2008-02, 90,000 miles“Dt the struts on the drivers side have rust top service. If you look at it from top near the windsheild between the 3 o'clock and 6 o'clock you can see it starting to rust. On the passengers side the rust as of right now is not visible. As of right now have contacted the dealer, but have contacted the body shop and they have noticed this models more frequently. Took the vehicle into my auto repair mechanic yesterday july 12, 2005 and he showed me this on my 96 model and have the same thing on 99 model in an earlier. Stage.”
NHTSA complaint #10128563, filed 2005-07, 86,000 miles“While driving, the left rear passenger door will open on its own. All doors are locked before I start the car. This first began last june, while driving on the highway at approximately 55 MPH. It happened about once every 2-3 months. Now it is happening at least 2 times a week. I am scared because I have no indication prior to its happening. A lot of the time there is no place for me to pull over to close the door. Then I am afraid the van will cut off because the open door light stays on while I am driving. This car has a little over 88,000 miles. I bought this car used 2-3 years ago.”
