Strut Tower problems of the 2000 Plymouth Voyager

My minivan has a badly corroded driver side strut tower that Chrysler knows is a product flow yet will not authorise repairs to. This places all owners families and the general public at grave danger when this tower. Collapses for the vehicle looses steering and the wheel falls off. I feel a recall is in high order before someone gets injured or killed. This may have happened already. All minivans from 1996-2000 are affected. All my calls have fallen on deaf ears. Own up to your product flaw chysler and do the right thing! you got government bail out money how about bailing out your customers and the general public at large. I hope my family or the general public will not succumb to this product defect.

Driver's side upper strut tower sheet metal rusted through - passenger side strut tower, like new(no rust at all) many other like vehicle complaints found on internet search.

TSB #2304402 and NHTSA #10000317: I have this problem of a rusted out strut tower. My mechanic informed me that it could be dangerous to drive. Although this is a common problem for 1996 - 2000 minivans for all three Chrysler models during those years, there is no recall by the manufacturer, and there should be.

Just informed from mechanic that my front strut towers are rusted through. Driver side is completed rotted away and passenger side should happen after this winter. My 2000 Plymouth Voyager has under 60,000mile and has only 2 owners. I have researched that this is way too frequent in Voyagers from 1996 to at least 2000 for their not be a mandate recall on this. The repair cost can cost up to $3000 which most people cannot afford. Through my internet research, I am aware that Chrysler issued some sort of suggested fix for the problem in 1992 but not a recall. This is a serious problem and I know if at least 6 people personally that are having the same problem. Something needs to be done!.

Rust has been developing on top of the drivers side front rust tower for several years. Having just taken auto classes became aware that this is a problem that affects safety. Dealers have not mentioned it in the past (while under rust protection warranty). The car is running fine presently, but this is going to be a safety issue when the strut tower separates from the rest of the car due to rust. This is a design flaw for this car. I have been told that is common. There is already a TSB on it (23-044-02). The repair will cost $1,000. I have asked Chrysler for assistance on it and they will not provide any. I have not had the repair work done yet. There is no date of incident, this has existed for at least 5 years, but been unreported.

: the contact stated when the vehicle was taken in for a state inspection; the mechanic noticed the driver side strut tower was badly corroded. The mechanic expressed that the vehicle would probably not pass inspection the next time. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who contacted the manufacturer to check for recalls. The vehicle was not involved in any recalls. The service dealer also suggested that the contact should file a complaint with the manufacturer. The contact planned to notify the manufacturer after filing a complaint with the NHTSA. Updated 01/10/06.
