problem #1

2008Aug 01

Grand Caravan SE 3.3L V6

  • Automatic transmission
  • 95,000 miles

The front strut tower where the strut bolts to the body rusted out so the strut wasn't supported by the body anymore. Chrysler said it wasn't a safety defect and there was no recall. Cost to weld in new strut towers was more than the van is worth. Every other Grand Caravan in the boneyard had the same problem.
