NHTSA complaint #10402633, filed 2011-05, 140,000 miles“While checking under the hood, the right strut tower appeared to have an unusual amount of rust on top. A crack was then noticed. Mechanic stated it would have to be replaced and this was a common problem on this model. The original part was painted and rusted due to failure of paint. Needs to be totally replaced with new kit that corrects the problem. Failure of this part may result in loss of control and inability to steer the car. Poor engineering cited by mechanic. …”

NHTSA complaint #10097759, filed 2004-12, 99,569 miles“I have replaced so many tires on this van I have took it to be lined up and they tell me that it cant be lined up because there is a problem underneath and I have contacted traid dodge and they tell me that is not under warranty but I think it should be because I don't know if this van was wrecked when I purchased it.

Thank you very much your help. …”
