1 Front Suspension Shock Absorber problem of the 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan

Failure Date: 09/08/2005

Shock tower on drivers side of vehicle is rusting through. If rusts through can be very dangerous,would make right front of vehicle fall and send shock through hood possibly causing a severe accidentally Dodge dealer in my town they said there was two other vehicles that came in same year make and model but no recall. Chrysler dealer told me my vehicle was ten years old and I live in a salt state so there was nothing they could do. If it were one vehicle ok but I live in a small town and if there were three that's to many. And also its not something you notice easily.

The strut tower did not fail at this time and no person was killed or injured, also no damage has occured.

What is chysler going to do to repair my minivan before a acident happens?.
