Observed that the driver's side strut tower is rusted through two layers of metal and perforated over half the way around front top of the strut tower. Vehicle has no other body rust except this shock / strut tower area and there needs to be a safety recall to repair this defective item before further abnormal corrosion causes the metal to fail and forcing the strut through the hood and into the windshield of the vehicle causing an accident or injuries.
Found blistering steel on left strut tower. Was concerned because strut top is supported by the tower. Used a screwdriver and hammer to knock rusted metal loose. Found holes clear through the metal into the wheel well. Took the vehicle to the dealer. Was told this is a common problem with a bulletin from Chrysler corporation. Was told the vehicle could be repaired for $350. 00 dollars. Had vehicle repaired and paid the bill. I feel that this is a defect in the vehicle design that is unsafe. Chrysler should have a recall and reimburse people for the repairs. I have taken digital photographs of the rust damage.
Drivers side strut tower has developed three large fatigue cracks on top of housing on front end of vehicle.
