Example complaints
Selected from NHTSA records; personal details are removed. They are consumer reports, not findings.
“Dodge caravan strut tower rust perforation - significant rust perforation on the right and left hand strut towers severely weakens the structural integrity of these main load path members. Failure of the strut towers would lead to uncontrolled displacement of the upper end of the strut resulting in loss of control of the vehicle. Since the possibility of failure exists at any time while driving the vehicle, should it occur at highway speeds, serious bodily injury and death are likely.”

Collapse of strut tower would result one or more of the following: 1/ sudden change of steering geometry; total loss of steering; lockup of one of the front wheels, blowout of one of the front tires. This is a problem which chrysler has known about for years. They only issued a TSB once most of the vehicles involved (96-98) were beyond the manufactures rust perforation warranty. This should not be merely a service recall, but a safety recall. …”
