“This is a common problem with the 1998 - 2000 Dodge caravan/voyagers. The housing unit that houses the struts, most times on the left, driver's side rusts and corrodes, causing the strut to break through. At this point, the driver could hit a bump, (this has happened to some people) and the strut can actually break through the dashboard or windshield while driving! Currently, on my vehicle, the strut has broken through the housing unit. It is approximately $300 to fix. This is a known problem with chrysler, and they have created a kit to fix the problem. …”
NHTSA complaint #10460601, filed 2012-06, 157,000 miles“2000-Dodge grand caravan-the driver's side front shock tower is rusting. We feel this is a framing and structural part of the car. It shouldn't be rusting like this. The manufacturer has many back orders for fixing this problem. Which shows that it is a major defect in manufacturing. They should be replacing this at their cost.”
NHTSA complaint #10150539, filed 2006-02“The consumer paid to have the vehicle's faulty ball joints replaced. The consumer requested reimbursement but hasn't received any correspondence from the manufacturer. The consumer requested information about why the vans were not included in the recall.”
