“We took our 1999 Chrysler town & country to our mechanic to have the water pump replaced and he informed us of the drivers side strut tower rusting out and should have it replaced as it could be a hazard while driving. This was reported to us on 08-2011 with the car having 142000 miles on it. Nothing has been done to repair it at this point. Am looking to see if there are any recalls for this problem.”
NHTSA complaint #10419536, filed 2011-08, 142,000 miles“We own a 1999 Chrysler Town And Country minivan. We purchased the vehicle used in 2001. We haven't had any problems with it until 2005 and then we had to replace the water pump. The mechanic noticed that the strut towers were severely rusted. He mentioned that this is a known defect with the Chrysler product. We would never have known otherwise--we didn't even know what a strut tower was until he pointed it out. …”
NHTSA complaint #10128644, filed 2005-07, 50,000 miles“1999 Chrysler t&c with 80,000 miles. Tie rod loose $200, alternator tension rusted $200, strut covers rusting $900. These and the general poor quality rating of this vehicle has cost me thousands in trade-in value and placed my family in jeopardy.”
NHTSA complaint #10010907, filed 2003-03, 80,000 miles“There was no incident yet. The driver's side upper strut bracket is rusted about a 1/4 of the top side. Don't know where the moisture could have come from? The seals above that area seem ok. Couldn't find any past recalls for this issue but, the passenger's side is just fine. At this point the insurance company won't cover fixing it. And am not sure what could be done? This is my mom's car and the information below is mine.”
NHTSA complaint #10677035, filed 2015-01, 125,000 miles“Wanted to trade van in and they told me do to safety factors could not take in on a trade. Said that the rust on van under carriage was so bad that motor could fall out and it was not worth taking in on a trade do to this problem”
