Shock tower on drivers side of vehicle is rusting through. If rusts through can be very dangerous, would make right front of vehicle fall and send shock through hood possibly causing a severe accidentally Dodge dealer in my town they said there was two other vehicles that came in same year make and model but no recall. Chrysler dealer told me my vehicle was ten years old and I live in a salt state so there was nothing they could do. If it were one vehicle ok but I live in a small town and if there were three that's to many. And also its not something you notice easily.

The strut tower did not fail at this time and no person was killed or injured, also no damage has occured. But I would like to report that the strut tower is rusting thru on the front right side of the mini van. If this should rust completly through while the mini van is moving at highway speeds, the driver could experience total loss of control and that could lead to serious injury and property damage including death of up to seven occupants of the minivan. What is chysler going to do to repair my minivan before a acident happens?
