I' ve purchased a 1999 Grand Voyager and noticed that the driver side strut tower was rotting out and the passenger side was starting to rust as well , but not to the degree as the drivers side. . I looked up and found no recall this situation, but was informed that Chrysler ,Plymouth , Dodge , knew about this since 1996 but did nothing to correct it until 2001. I enjoy my vehicle but the repairs for this problem are a bit too much for me at this time due to my disability ,and the fact that I am on a very limited income. Is there any one that can assist me in getting my vehicle repair?.

Left side strut tower rusted through on 1999 Plymouth voyager, I noticed this after we had bought it in 2005 and was told that it would not be covered from Chrysler, found out that I was not the only one this had happened too, Chrysler made the mistake and they should stand behind it, I was getting maintenance when it fell apart, lucky it didn't happen on the highway.
The strut tower on my '99 Plymouth Grand Voyager has rusted out on the drivers side. My dealer has informed me that it is a safety issue and needs to be addressed right away. When looking on-line at this problem, many other people have the same issue. It seems that they should have a recall, or fix the problem.
Plymouth 1998/99 3. 8l expresso gr voyager the strut towers have been rusting for several years and are now near the point of failure. There is no other significant rust on the vehicle.
The left (driver) side strut tower appears to be split and rusting out, while the right (passenger) side shows no signs of rust. There is also no rust anywhere on the outside of the vehicle. There appears to be something defective with the metal on the drivers side. If the strut tower fails, I will lose control of the vehicle. I spoke with another owner with the same problem who works in a body shop. They have seen this problem on several vehicles. When I took the vehicle to the Chrysler dealership where I bought the car, they said there was no recall, but they had seen this problem before. I would like to know if the vehicle is safe to drive as is. If it is not safe, I feel that is a factory defect and should be corrected by Chrysler. I do have digital pictures of both strut towers. The dealer wants around $400. 00 to fix it and they will not tell me whether it is safe or not.
