Front Suspension problems of the 1998 Dodge Caravan

1998 Dodge Caravan se front strut covers are completely rotted through and I can view the ground beneath. Not only is this a safety issue, but an obvious manufacturer defect in the material used in such a critical location to the vehicle's structure. I am concerned the vehicle will become uncontrollable in the event of failure and serious injury could result to the driver and other vehicles.

I went to the dealership where I had purchased the van in 1998 with the intent of researching the value for a trade in. First item they looked at was the shock towers in the front of the van. Showed me how they had almost rusted through, explaind to me how this was a common issue for this van, thus lowering the trade in value and also informing me as to the dangers involved. Which wer subsquently confirmed my a mechanic. The customer service at Chrysler blew me off. There is no other rust on the van in this magnititude. Help please.
