Strut mounts are very rusty, the Chrysler recommended repair could not be done, due to extensive rust around the strut tower. This is confirmed by many other owners of this year and generation of vehicle. The vehicle is is good shape except for this and the problem was caused by a manufacturing defect which allowed rusting in the strut towers. This problem started happening approximately when it was just 10 years old or less and got worse and worse over the years. I have not driven it for many years because it seems very unsafe.
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.
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.
Both front wheels fell off while the consumer was on the highway. Vehilce was towed on both occasions.
Front and rear shocks are leaking where they connect with shaft. Contacted dealer, and the dealer was not willing to do anything.
Vehicle has a vibration in steering column when its driven at speeds of 50 mph or faster. Dlr cannot determine cause, and cannot fix defect after 10 attempts.
