2 Strut Tower problem

Failure Date: 12/14/2005

This is no events leading up to this yet. I own a 1996 Plymouth Voyager se, the strut towers on both driver and passenger side under the hood are rusting out. The tower have not been replaced yet due to Chrysler telling me the parts for the fix are back ordered, and they do not know when the parts will be available. If one of struts where to come through, god knows what might happen. This seems to be affecting 96-00 caravans and Voyagers, personally seen it and on-line forums. I have had different 96 and 97 with the same problem, have since sold them.

Excessive rust damage to front strut towers. One of them had to be repaired with a cap, the other tower had to be replaced. The tower that was replaced had two cracks, one of them from the top to the bottom of the tower.

4 Strut Tower problem

In April 2003, the vehicle was taken to an auto body shop for maintenance on the air conditioning. The mechanic noticed the strut towers were rusting. The consumer then took the vehicle to Chrysler, who stated the problem was not normal. The consumer called the manufacturer, who would not cover any of the cost.
