Consumer had experienced side pulling on steering wheel and front wheels where dealer had peformed aligment, but had not fixed the problem. Please provide more information.
The tower which supports the passenger side front suspension strut is rusting through. This is the only rust on the vehicle. The dealer agrees that this will soon be a severe safety hazard. When the strut collapses into the engine compartment the vehicle might suddenly go out of control. I have notified daimler-Chrysler of this problem but they have declined to inspect the vehicle. I have photos and copies of letters sent to daimler-Chrysler motors corporation. It is possible that other Town & Country vans of this model year may be failing in the same way and their owners are not aware of the potential hazard.
