About These NHTSA Complaints:
The NHTSA is the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints can be spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem. See the Back button — blue bar at the very top of the page — to explore more.
I own an 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan. The strut towers, especially the driver side, are rusting horribly and will need repair to avoid a catastrophic failure. If the rust gives way, the struts will go up through the tower which best case causes huge damage to the vehicle and worst case could result in a fatal traffic accident. Reading around the internet, this is a common problem from 1996 through 2000 vans and repair kits are back ordered at dealerships around the nation. Daimler/Chrysler is fully aware of this problem and a recall should be issued as this is a huge safety issue for their customers.
