2 Structure problem

Failure Date: 10/24/2008

The strut tower on the driver's side of my 1999 Dodge Caravan has completely rusted out, causing the strut to burst through into the engine compartment below the windshield.

Failure Date: 06/18/1999

While trying to get into the van, driver fell down against a metal strip that was flat against vehicle due to no support (no step to be used / handle to grab). Vehicle was a rental.
